Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Battle? A Fight to the Death!

Lin Zhenxiong looked at Lin Fan and said, "In the past, your father was the pillar of our Lin Family, it was because of your father's deterrence that our Lin Family could become the leading clan in Heavenly Martial City, but now, your father is trapped in the Space Fragments of the Outer Realm, so..."

Lin Zhenxiong did not finish his words, but Lin Fan understood his meaning.

Afterward, Lin Zhenxiong did not speak, he was waiting to see Lin Fan's reaction.

After a brief contemplation, Lin Fan earnestly said, "I will rescue my father."

"Hmm?" Lin Zhenxiong seemed not to have heard clearly.

Lin Fan repeated it once more.

Lin Zhenxiong said, "I hope so, but to rescue your father, it is not that easy, even a Saint Ascension Expert might not necessarily succeed."

Lin Fan retorted, "If a King Profound Realm expert can't do it, what about a Saint Ascension Expert?"

"Saint... Saint Ascension Expert?" Lin Zhenxiong's body trembled a few times.

At that moment, suddenly a Lin Family disciple hurriedly ran in, stammering, "Family Head, young master, something terrible has happened."

Lin Zhenxiong, somewhat displeased, asked, "What matter is so alarming?"

The disciple said, "Someone has set up a challenge ring outside, challenging the young master."

"What? Damn it!"

Lin Zhenxiong became angry, but after all, he was the head of the family, and he quickly regained composure, asking, "Who is it?"

The Lin Family disciple said, "It's Fang Mingjie from the City Lord Mansion."

"Fang Mingjie?"

Lin Zhenxiong's eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking over at Lin Fan.

Fang Mingjie, the son of the Heavenly Martial City Lord. Although his talent is mediocre, he also had the Cultivation at Great Perfection of the Initial Profound Realm.

Lin Zhenxiong then asked the Lin Family disciple, "Why is he challenging Lin Fan?"

"According to Fang Mingjie shouting outside, he is challenging the young master because of Miss Liu Zhirou. He claims he and Miss Liu Zhirou are the true match, asking the young master to step aside willingly. He also said that the young master is a waste that does not deserve Miss Liu Zhirou."

The Lin Family disciple said this while looking at Lin Fan, thinking Lin Fan would get angry.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Fan remained calm and nonchalantly said, "It has long been rumored that Liu Zhirou has already been closely involved with the son of the City Lord Mansion, Fang Mingjie. It seems that this is indeed true. Such a fiancée, I might as well not have. When I have time, I'll personally make a trip to Liu Family and break it off."

A chill emanated from Lin Fan.

Lin Zhenxiong asked Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Fan simply said one word: "Fight!"

Lin Zhenxiong said, "But he is the son of the City Lord Mansion, and our Lin Family's situation is not optimistic now, I..."

Lin Fan interrupted Lin Zhenxiong, "Even if his father is the emperor, I still want to fight."

After saying this, Lin Fan turned around and slowly walked out of Lin Zhenxiong's courtyard.

Lin Zhenxiong did not speak, watching Lin Fan's departing silhouette, the corners of his mouth revealing a faint smile, secretly thinking, "That's the spirit, this is my grandson Lin Zhenxiong, the future rising force of our Lin Family."

Meanwhile, outside the Lin Family, a huge challenge ring had already been set up.

On the ring, a teenager around fifteen or sixteen years of age defiantly stood there; his back slung with a colorful longsword, its tassel swaying in the wind, indeed looking somewhat majestic.

He is the son of the City Lord Mansion, Fang Mingjie.

Around the ring, there had already gathered a large crowd.

"Haha!"

At a certain moment, Fang Mingjie suddenly laughed loudly, loudly saying, "Lin Fan, you waste, don't tell me you don't dare to come out? Truly worthy of being the number one waste of Heavenly Martial City, you don't even have the guts to face me head-on? Coward, trash…"

Fang Mingjie grew more excited as he spoke.

Just as the sound of Fang Mingjie's voice fell, a faint voice came from inside the Lin Family, "Whose dog isn't leashed properly, running over to our Lin Family and barking? Could it be a mad dog?"

With the sound fading, Lin Fan walked out unhurriedly, holding a long spear, the Dragon Abyss Spear in his hand.

Fang Mingjie looked at Lin Fan with cold eyes but did not speak.

"Just wait until Lin Fan reached the stage, Fang Mingjie coldly said, 'You, dare to call me a dog? You're dead.'"

"Those familiar with Fang Mingjie knew that at this point, Fang Mingjie was extremely angry."

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Aren't you challenging me? Come on then!"

Fang Mingjie said, "A fight to the death, do you dare?"

"A fight to the death?"

Even Lin Fan, after hearing Fang Mingjie's words, couldn't help but be taken aback.

Seeing Lin Fan hesitate, Fang Mingjie thought Lin Fan was afraid and continued to sneer, asking, "What's the matter? Scared?"

Lin Fan seriously asked, "Are you sure? You really want a fight to the death?"

Fang Mingjie sneered, "Unless you're too scared!"

Lin Fan said, "Alright, since you're seeking death, I'll grant you your wish."

Lin Fan stood quietly in his spot, his face still wearing that nonchalant expression, but all of this was just a façade displayed by Lin Fan; at this moment, he was fully alert and ready for battle, all his attention on Fang Mingjie.

Fang Mingjie took a step towards Lin Fan, and suddenly, a fierce war intent burst forth from his body, sweeping towards Lin Fan.

"Such strong war intent!"

Lin Fan thought to himself, "No wonder Fang Mingjie dares to challenge me this way, his strength appears to be strong."

"Die!"

Fang Mingjie roared.

The longsword behind Fang Mingjie unsheathed spontaneously, carrying a dozen sword shadows, and in the blink of an eye, it had already slashed towards Lin Fan.

The moment Fang Mingjie made his move, an image of the trajectory of his sword appeared in Lin Fan's mind, as if Lin Fan knew every move Fang Mingjie would make next.

This was an incredible ability.

Because he knew Fang Mingjie's moves instantly, Lin Fan naturally found it easy to counter them.

At this moment, Lin Fan was internally shocked, thinking, "What kind of talent is this? In future battles, won't I be invincible?"

Seeing Lin Fan just standing there dumbly, Fang Mingjie continuously sneered to himself, thinking, "Hmph, boy, just keep standing there, soon you'll be slain by my sword."

A cruel and indifferent smile even appeared on Fang Mingjie's face.

He was completely confident in his strength, believing that his sword was sufficient to slay Lin Fan.

However...

What Fang Mingjie utterly didn't expect was that, just as his sword was about to strike Lin Fan, Lin Fan's body casually moved slightly.

Following this slight movement of Lin Fan, Fang Mingjie's sword missed.

"This..."

Fang Mingjie was startled, thinking to himself, "He actually dodged my sword attack? How could this be?"

In Fang Mingjie's view, Lin Fan was just a useless person, he truly couldn't believe that a useless Lin Fan could dodge his sword.

"Hmph, you're just lucky."

Fang Mingjie then snorted, believing that Lin Fan dodging his sword was purely out of luck.

"Meteor Sword!"

Following Fang Mingjie's loud shout, his sword attacked once again.

This sword moved even faster.

A sword light, like a meteor.

Everyone who saw Fang Mingjie's swordplay couldn't help but be alarmed, "Such a fast sword."

Meanwhile, they also couldn't help but start worrying for Lin Fan.

But little did they know, as Fang Mingjie made his move, the trajectory and moves of his sword were also projected into Lin Fan's mind by the Universal Map.

Lin Fan still stood quietly there, and when the sword light reached him, he dodged seamlessly.
