On the other side, as all eyes in the Feng Pavilion were on Lin Yifan, Xiaofang, hiding in the shadows, felt that this was the perfect opportunity to rescue Xiaolian, and so she immediately made her move.

First, she threw a pebble, attacking Zhong Ge who was thrusting his sword at Lin Yifan; then, she threw two more pebbles, targeting the two Tian Family guards who were holding Xiaolian hostage with daggers.

After doing so, she continued to perform her qinggong, moving like a ghost through the forest, while throwing more pebbles to attack the Tian Family guards in the Feng Pavilion.

Suddenly, all the Tian Family guards were under attack.

The first to be attacked was naturally Zhong Ge, who was thrusting his sword at Lin Yifan. Since he threatened the life of the man Xiaofang cherished most, how could she stand idly by and let him succeed easily?

The pebble flying towards Zhong Ge was the most powerful among all the thrown pebbles. If Zhong Ge didn't evade it, his head would surely be penetrated and he would die.

The next moment, Zhong Ge's reaction confirmed this.

Zhong Ge, who was flying through the air, suddenly veered off course, dodging to one side as if avoiding something.

"Bang!"

A loud noise followed, and a tree surrounding the Feng Pavilion was pierced through, creating a hole, which was unsettling to behold.

Just as everyone in the Feng Pavilion became aware of the danger, several swiftly moving pebbles flew in from all directions, shooting straight at their heads.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the next moment, like the tree that had been pierced, their heads were riddled with bloody holes.

Instantly, darkness fell before their eyes, and they collapsed.

Witnessing this eerie scene, Xiaolian was struck dumb with fear, not knowing who was behind it.

Her brother, Yifan, had tied himself up, and was right in front of her, so it definitely wasn't him. If it wasn't her brother, then who could it be?

"Could it be the old granny?"

The only person she could think of was that inscrutable, enigmatic old granny. Only such a person could carry out such a breathtaking attack.

Seeing that all the enemies in the Feng Pavilion had fallen, Lin Yifan smiled. Then, using his cultivation power, he broke the ropes binding him, regaining his freedom.

He knew that Xiaofang, lurking in the shadows, had taken action, so now it was their turn to counterattack.

With the situation now hopeless, in order to survive and safely leave this place, Zhong Ge, armed with a sword, immediately ran towards Xiaolian, wanting to take her hostage again.

Why didn't he kill Lin Yifan, who was right in front of him and of a much lower realm, and instead went to take the utterly powerless Xiaolian as a hostage?

Because Lin Yifan had broken free from the ropes, and after witnessing Lin Yifan's formidable qinggong skills, he realized he couldn't kill Lin Yifan. Therefore, to save his own life, he had to take Xiaolian hostage, who was tied to a post with no ability to resist.

Since Lin Yifan was willing to die for Xiaolian, it indicated that Xiaolian was definitely crucial to him; and those who were attacking from the shadows would surely respect Lin Yifan enough to stop their assault.

This was the plan in his heart, a shameless plan.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Yifan, as Xiao Lian's older brother, immediately employed the "Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong to catch up, before unleashing the Witchcraft Palm, striking fiercely at Brother Zhong's back.

Feeling the dangerous aura rapidly approaching from behind, Brother Zhong, who was charging toward Xiao Lian with his sword, became furious. Since Lin Yifan came to him willingly, he would have no reason to be polite.

Consequently, he turned around fiercely, thrusting his sword towards the soaring Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan didn't dodge or avoid, directly clashing with him.

Watching this, both Xiao Lian and Xiao Fang, who was rushing over, were shocked.

Xiao Lian's concern was that Lin Yifan, being flesh and blood, how could he possibly withstand the attack of a sharp and hard weapon? It was simply like hitting a stone with an egg.

And Xiao Fang was worried that Lin Yifan's realm was much lower than Brother Zhong's, and his strength simply could not contend with Brother Zhong's full-force strike; thus, there was a huge risk.

However, even with their shock, it was too late to alter the outcome of their collision.

So the next moment, a palm containing immense power collided with a sword emitting a purple glow. Instantly, a loud noise erupted, followed by a wave of power sweeping out in all directions.

Lin Yifan and Brother Zhong both stepped back, neither gaining an advantage.

At this moment, Brother Zhong was extremely shocked, unable to calm down for a long time. He knew best how powerful his sword strike was. The fact that Lin Yifan could block his strongest attack, and remain uninjured, made Lin Yifan's strength beyond his imagination.

Before setting out, he had been told by Young Master Tian Ji, as well as his subordinates, how awesome and formidable Lin Yifan was, warning him to be cautious. But he didn't believe it, thinking it was just his subordinates bragging, making excuses for their failure. Now that he witnessed it with his own eyes, he recognized Lin Yifan's strength.

As for Lin Yifan, he was not surprised by this result; after all, the Witchcraft Palm was one of the most powerful palm techniques in the Cultivation World, its fame comparable to the super sword technique "Tri-Clear Unification." Hence, being able to unleash such power didn't surprise him.

On the other side, Xiao Lian and Xiao Fang, who was in a hurry to get there, were also stunned by this scene, not expecting the collision to have this outcome.

Xiao Lian was clueless as to why her big brother was so powerful, so freakish; to be able to block a sword with his bare hands was incredible, far more powerful than martial arts experts seen on television.

Xiao Fang, meanwhile, didn't know which palm technique Lin Yifan had just used, capable of matching the strongest strike from a mid-stage Divinity Transformation First Realm master. Such a palm technique was surely on a par with the super sword technique "Tri-Clear Unification;" and while she was familiar with almost all such palm techniques, none matched the one Lin Yifan used, which made her curious.

Also, her master did not possess this palm technique, so where exactly had Lin Yifan learned it from? She was extremely curious.

Pushed back by the force, Brother Zhong was now closer to Xiao Lian. He immediately used his sword to take Xiao Lian hostage, preparing to escape from Guiyuan City.

This place was no longer suitable for a prolonged stay, and if he still wanted to live, his only option was to take a hostage, forcing Lin Yifan and the others to hold back.

Seeing Brother Zhong taking the sword to hold Xiao Lian hostage again, Lin Yifan felt extremely anxious and concerned. If Xiao Lian fell into Brother Zhong's hands once more, it would be troublesome.

But now, with such distance between him and Brother Zhong, it was difficult for him to intervene. All he could do now was pin his hopes on Xiao Fang, who was lying in ambush in the forest.

Xiao Fang had no pebbles left in her hand, so she couldn't attack Brother Zhong from a distance or pose a threat to him. However, she was now almost beside Xiao Lian, so there was still time to save the situation.

The next moment, just as Brother Zhong was about to get close to Xiao Lian, Xiao Fang burst out from behind Xiao Lian like a ghostly charm, and without a second word, struck a ferocious palm at Brother Zhong.
