Chapter 229: Sword Pill
Li Rong, with her hands holding onto the shaft of the spear, pulled herself up and got close to Lin Fan.
Ignoring the pain and letting the spear go through her body.
When she got close enough, she grabbed Lin Fan's throat.
"I promise, it will be over soon," she said, and she tightened her grip.
To her surprise, Lin Fan smirked.
"What makes you think you are the one who got me?"
He said, and he lifted his hand that wasn't holding the Dragon's Roar Spear.
In his hand was a pill.
Li Rong glanced over at the pill, and her eyes opened wide.
There was an aura of a thousand swords contained within the pill.
Swords swirled on its surface, and she could feel the aura slicing and stabbing at her.
Lin Fan was waiting for this chance to use the Sword Pill from Jian Xin.
He injected Qi into the Sword Pill and broke it by clenching his hand into a fist.
Illuminated swords came out of the pill and flew at Li Rong.
She was too close and had nowhere to dodge the swords.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
The swords penetrated her neck and head with ease.
Splatter.
Blood dripped from the gaping holes in her neck and head.
Now she was unrecognizable to anyone.
Her grip on Lin Fan loosened as she directed her energy into healing her wounds.
Lin Fan tried to go in for the kill with his Celestial Primordial Claws.
He tried to plunge them into her dantian, attempting to sever her Qi from her body.
But the elder threw a chain that had scriptures all over it and entangled it on Lin Fan's wrist.
The chain gave out a red glow, and Lin Fan's Qi and energy got sucked away by it.
Lin Fan had no choice but to turn into mist and get away from the chain.
The next moment he appeared, he was behind Li Rong's back.
This time, he used whatever Qi and energy he had and tried to plunge his claws into Li Rong's waist.
His claws got in halfway before Li Rong retaliated, and she elbowed him on his head.
Thud.
The blow sent Lin Fan flying across and stopped only when he hit a wall.
The wall broke into pieces from the impact, and it fell all over Lin Fan.
"You shall pay for this!" Li Rong turned in his direction and shouted at him.
Her wounds in her neck and head were now half closed.
She didn't have enough Qi and energy left to fully heal herself.

The next moment, she closed her eyes and raised her hands.
All the undead that were ravaging through the city stopped moving, and the ghosts inhabiting the dead bodies left as they flew into the air.
They flew towards the Governor's Residence and swooped back into Li Rong's body.
Her wounds closed within a few moments.
She now had enough Qi and energy to deal with Lin Fan.
Lin Fan could see a flash of red coming at him when he tried to get up.
He tried to block, but Li Rong was too fast for him.
Thud.
Lin Fan took the front kick from Li Rong in his chest.
He tumbled across the ground and stopped, leaving a trail of blood behind.
His mind went into overdrive trying to think of a way out.
The amulet was one of his options.
It would allow him to recuperate his Qi as it used the essence of the demonic beast core.
Enduring the pain, he swapped out the demonic beast core of the Ice Tusk Elephant with the Two Headed Tiger's.
The next moment, he turned into the form of the two-headed tiger.
Li Rong lunged at him, and a water sprout shot at her from one of the tiger's heads.
The high-pressurized water sprout cut through her skin, and she had to dodge to the side.
When she leaped towards Lin Fan again, a rock wall appeared in front of her path.
Boom.
She broke through the rock wall, but Lin Fan was no longer at the same location.
He leaped away and shot a water sprout at her again.
Lin Fan's strategy of fighting from a distance with the two-headed tiger worked.
The water sprout cut at her body again, and Li Rong had to dodge to the side.
"Come here, you!"
Li Rong shouted in frustration.
Seeing that Lin Fan was a handful for her, she turned to the elder and said, "Help me get him."
"Yes, Lady Saint."
The elder threw the chain at Lin Fan again.
A rock wall appeared, trying to block the chain's path.
Boom.
Unfortunately, the chain broke through.
Lin Fan quickly leaped away to the side.
But Li Rong was waiting for this moment, and she lunged at him.
Thud.
A flash of red came at Lin Fan, and she grabbed one of the tiger's heads.
She pulled with all her might, trying to rip the tiger's head off its body.
Lin Fan turned back into human form, and her hands crossed each other as she was holding onto thin air.
Boom.
He leaped into the air and leaped again towards where his spear was.
Finally, with a few leaps, he came back onto the ground and retrieved his spear.
He held his spear and glanced at Li Rong and the elder.
Li Rong smirked and said, "Finally, giving up. You are a tough one, I must give it to you."
"Glad that you are satisfied. That's what they always say," Lin Fan said as he thought of a way out.
His Qi and energy had recovered a little with the short respite earlier.
Screech.
A screeching sound in the distance broke their conversation.
That screeching sound was unmistakable.
It was the guardian beast!
Lin Fan took out the jade pendant Zhang Yi Nian gave him, and he broke it.
Seeing what he was doing, Li Rong raised an eyebrow and said, "Calling for backup? But it's too late for that."
She lifted her hand and lunged at Lin Fan.
At the same time, the elder threw the chain at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan turned into a mist, and Li Rong missed as she went through the mist.
The chain also hit the empty ground, causing the dust to erupt into the air.
"Where is he?" the elder said as the dust obscured his view of where Lin Fan went.
