Lin Yifan had not expected the arrogant youth to have so many experts on his side; he had thought that as long as Li Dafeng made a move, the matter would be resolved, but in the end, he had to take matters into his own hands.

However, this was also good, as it would give the haughty and ignorant young man a taste of his own medicine.

So, he stood quietly in place, charged and ready to strike.

Seeing Lin Yifan motionless, the arrogant youth's face showed a mocking smile, "Hmph! To dare not dodge, you're really seeking death!"

The next moment, he swung his knife, stabbing fiercely towards Lin Yifan's heart.

Watching this unfold, Li Dafeng and the others were anxious; they were very worried that Lin Yifan, at the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, would not be able to withstand the youth's violent attack.

Before setting out, the Master had instructed them to protect Lin Yifan well, and if anything happened to Lin Yifan, they did not know how they would explain to their Master.

However, they had more willingness than strength; at this moment, they could only hope for Lin Yifan's fate.

"You must hold on!" Li Dafeng and the others prayed in their hearts.

While everyone was worried for him, Lin Yifan was surprisingly calm; he quietly waited, waiting for the sharp knife to approach.

The next moment, the corner of his mouth curved into a cold sneer; then he struck out with his palm that had been filled with cultivation power.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful energy burst out, transferring directly to the body of the arrogant youth wielding the sharp knife.

"Pugh!"

The next second, the arrogant youth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, severely wounded.

"Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm Peak!" The arrogant youth was shocked, he had not expected Lin Yifan to unleash the power of the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, it was truly unbelievable.

"Hmph! Thinking of killing and looting, you should first weigh your own abilities!" Lin Yifan sneered continuously, his face filled with mockery.

Seeing this scene, Li Dafeng and the others were stunned; they had not expected Lin Yifan, from the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, to actually defeat a cultivator from the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, it was truly incredible.

"How did he do it?" Li Xiaofeng asked in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

"Who knows? Maybe he has a powerful Martial Arts technique," Li Dafeng replied.

It seemed the only explanation was that Lin Yifan could not have always hidden his Realm without revealing it.

By this time, the battle had stopped, and everyone was looking at this scene.

Seeing the young master injured, the guards who were fighting rushed over to support him.

"Young master! Are you alright?"

"Young master! How are you?"

The guards asked about the arrogant youth's condition, extremely worried.

If something were to happen to the young master, they had no idea how they would explain it to their master on returning.

"The enemy is too strong, let's go!" the arrogant youth replied.

He no longer wanted to fight for the Channeling Herb. If another palm strike came his way, his life might well be lost here; they absolutely could not linger.

"Alright! Let's go!" After saying this, the guards helped the arrogant youth to leave.

However, they had just taken a step when they were ruthlessly called to a halt by Lin Yifan, "Think you can kill and leave as you please, what do you take us for?"

Facing Lin Yifan's interrogation, the arrogant youth endured the pain and asked, "What do you want?"

"If you don't want to die, hand over all the treasures you have on you," Lin Yifan replied.

He had refrained from killing the youth in consideration that they were both from Shenzhou Country; however, while a death sentence could be spared, a crime could not be escaped. To be attacked without reason, he wanted the arrogant youth to pay the price he deserved.

"On what grounds?" the arrogant youth challenged.

"On the grounds that the lives of all of you are now in our hands," Lin Yifan answered.

He could kill the arrogant youth and then go help Li Xiaofeng deal with those two Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm guards, and afterward help Lin Yanping eliminate the two Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm Peak guards; then, with Lin Yanping freed up, she could assist Li Dafeng with the two Divinity Transformation First Realm Early Stage guards.

So, it's fair to say that the lives of this arrogant youth's group were in the hands of their four.

"Aren't you afraid of retaliation for offending our Ma Family from Capital City?" the arrogant youth revealed his identity, hoping to intimidate Lin Yifan.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Yifan wasn't intimidated by such things; moreover, Lin Yifan was unaware of any background the Capital City Ma Family might have.

So, upon hearing this threatening statement, Lin Yifan scoffed in response, "Capital City Ma Family? Is the Capital City Ma Family that impressive?"

"The Capital City Ma Family is one of the thirteen hidden clans of the Capital City, backed by a major Sect," Li Xiaofeng answered.

For someone who had been mixing in the Capital City for a long time, he was naturally well aware of every power there.

"Major Sect? Is this major Sect stronger than Medicinal Saint Valley?" Lin Yifan asked with a cold laugh.

He felt that unless all Cultivation Sects united, Medicinal Saint Valley would be the greatest; behind it, nearly all Cultivation Sects provided support.

Hearing this, Li Xiaofeng felt a bit embarrassed and responded, "Well... it seems not."

He had almost forgotten Lin Yifan's identity, realizing he had worried unnecessarily just now.

Upon hearing the words "Medicinal Saint Valley," the arrogant youth became panicked; Medicinal Saint Valley was one of the most powerful Sects, no one dared to provoke it. If the man who had hurt him was indeed a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley, then he could no longer afford to be arrogant.

However, without clearing up the situation, he wouldn't believe that Lin Yifan was a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley; hence he inquired, "Are you a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley?"

"What? Are you scared?" Lin Yifan countered.

"Do you have any evidence to prove it?" the arrogant youth asked.

"The evidence is that I dare to ignore the Capital City Ma Family's retaliation and kill you all," Lin Yifan replied.

At this time, it's important for one to boast with a bit more volume and dominance, otherwise others will treat you like a soft persimmon ready to be bullied.

"I'd like to see if you dare!" the arrogant youth defied.

Without evidence from Lin Yifan, he wouldn't believe it.

"Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame us for being ruthless," Lin Yifan said and then addressed Li Dafeng and the others, "Li brothers, Miss Lin, let's join forces and kill these arrogant fools."

"Sure!" Lin Yanping and the others answered promptly.

With Lin Yifan, the disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley backing them, they no longer had any concerns.

Seeing that Lin Yifan and the other three were truly ready to strike and kill them, the arrogant youth became scared and quickly replied, "Fine! I'll give you all the treasures we have on us."

Without compromise, there would be no chance left; thus, it was best to follow the enemy's demand and hand over the treasures while the enemy hadn't fully decided to kill. This way, they might still save their lives.

Moreover, killing someone in the Jiminia Primitive Forest, the Capital City Ma Family would likely not be able to find out who did it; therefore, it was better to compromise.
