Chapter 222: Iron Ball and Rope
The disciples went crazy when they saw Lin Fan finishing off their leader.
All of them turned and lunged at him.
"Let's go!" Lin Fan shouted.
He held onto Ho Ming and leaped into the air with his Chain Leap ability.
While in the air, he stepped onto the air again and leaped forward horizontally.
He did this a few more times before he and Ho Ming slowly descended onto the ground.
Lin Fan looked up and saw the remaining light pillar glowing brighter as more and more spirits were sucked into it.
He quickly took out a Heavenly Rejuvenate pill and swallowed it.
Ho Ming also took the chance to recover his Qi and energy.
The street they landed on was full of Tan Xiao Yao's remnant soldiers.
They had just slaughtered the constables on their way to the light pillar.
"Shall we go around them?" Ho Ming asked, pointing at the sky.
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Hold on tight."
He held onto Ho Ming and leaped into the air again.
But this time, before he could step onto the air again, a loop made of a glowing rope caught his ankle.
And they were violently pulled to the ground.
Thud.
They hit the ground, creating a small crater due to the force of the impact.
Ho Ming drew out his swords and tried to slice the rope.
It was useless as he couldn't cut through the glowing rope.
The rope, as an artifact, had a level that was higher than Ho Ming's swords.
"Watch out!" Lin Fan shouted as a huge iron ball as big as his head came hurtling at Ho Ming's head.
Ho Ming ducked by lowering his body at the last minute.
Lin Fan quickly used the Peach Wood Sword and hacked at the rope.
It worked, and his ankle was freed from the rope.
They leaped out of the small crater and saw two huge, burly men in front of them.
One held the rope in his hand and the other a chain that was attached to the iron ball.
"Finally, something interesting," iron ball man said and pulled his chain back.
Clank.
Clank.
Whoosh.
The iron ball flew at Lin Fan and Ho Ming from behind.
Lin Fan pushed Ho Ming to the side.
The iron ball flew past them, and they felt the gust of wind it brought with it due to its velocity.
"Ho Ming, take care of the man with the iron ball," Lin Fan said.
He figured Ho Ming wouldn't have any chance against the man with the rope as Ho Ming's sword couldn't cut through it.
Ho Ming nodded and lunged at iron ball man.
Lin Fan stood up and stared at the rope man.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 300 vengeance points.]
The rope man hurled his rope at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan stepped to the side, dodging the rope.
The rope miraculously changed direction and coiled itself around Lin Fan's body.
Trying to tie him up with his arms stuck to his body.
The rope man smirked and said, "No one has ever gotten out of this alive."
Lin Fan felt the rope getting tighter and tighter with every moment that passed.
He stared at the rope man and said, "You've seen nothing yet."
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan turned into a mist and got out of the rope.
The next moment when Lin Fan appeared, he was already in front of rope man.
He held up his hand with the Peach Wood Sword.
Thud.
A red shimmer came down as he slashed the Peach Wood Sword down at the rope man's face.
It sliced off a chunk of flesh from the rope man's cheek.
"Argh!" The rope man cried out in pain and hurled the rope onto Lin Fan's wrist.
The rope man tried to pull back and get Lin Fan to drop the Peach Wood Sword.
Veins popped on the rope man's hands as he tried with all his strength to pull back the rope.
But Lin Fan wouldn't budge even an inch.
The rope man's face turned pale when the realization that Lin Fan was much stronger than he hit him.
Lin Fan suddenly tugged back; his strength made the rope man fly and tumble onto the ground.
He turned the Peach Wood Sword with its blade pointing downward.
With a thrust, he stabbed the Peach Wood Sword into the rope man's neck.
Splatter.
Blood spurted out of the rope man's neck as Lin Fan pulled out the Peach Wood Sword.
A familiar sound erupted in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 300.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 3500]
He turned and checked on how Ho Ming was doing.
Ho Ming was just done with the iron ball man as he sliced the head off the body.
The soldiers who were looking on didn't dare to make a move as the strongest among them had just been killed.

When Lin Fan and Ho Ming ran at them, they opened a path for them.
For most of them, the revenge seemed senseless now.
What they got from slaughtering the innocent people in Hong Feng City was emptiness.
It didn't satisfy them as they thought it would.
They'd realized the only thing they wanted was the Emperor Quan Shi dead.
Not these innocent people.
A disciple of the Lady Saint saw what happened and quickly slipped away.
He hurried and ran toward a small tower.
The tower had seven floors and was made of bricks and wood.
Wind chimes tinkled softly in the breeze, amidst the cries for help and pain in the surroundings.
Around the tower, there were many disciples guarding it.
"Let me through. I have something to report to the Lady Saint," the disciple said as he approached the guards.
They let him through, and he walked up the tower.
"What's the situation now?" an elder in a black robe asked when he saw the disciple enter the room he was in.
"Tan Xiao Yao's men are losing morale.
"One of the light pillars was destroyed by two men.
"We need to do something fast."
The disciple knelt and bowed in front of a large crystal.
The crystal glowed, and an image of Li Rong appeared.
