Chapter 387: I Say You Can Beat Them, So You Can

Liu Lingfeng stared at the dark vortex in the void, momentarily stunned by the scene before him.

"Dad, you came on a bit too strong." Liu Lingfeng was startled by the sheer force emanating from the void.

The masters of the Heavenly Earth Sect and the Mountain Sea Sect trembled under the overwhelming pressure; the power struck straight to their hearts, leaving them devoid of any will to resist.

"Where does this power come from?" The Heavenly Earth Sect master's heart churned with tumultuous waves as he watched the violent phenomenon in the void.

Even if you beat him to death, he would never believe that this power was conjured by that fool before him.

The Mountain Sea Sect master felt the same; under this power, he felt like an ant.

The masters of other sects could no longer remain calm. They stood up one by one, their gazes fixed on the figure standing there.

Could it be, as he had said, that this power was summoned by him?

"Yunxian, this..." The former master of the Profound Sword Pavilion was at a loss for words; everything had happened too suddenly.

"I don't know either. What is this? Could it be an unknown enemy attacking?" Xuan Yunxian asked, dazed.

...

"Haha, you wanted to hit me? I told you, my dad's power is here to protect me. Both of you, tremble!" Liu Lingfeng let out a sharp roar.

"Dad!"

"Boom!"

The dragon of laws coiled within the dark vortex, roaring ferociously as it spiraled down toward Liu Lingfeng.

"Feng'er, get out of the way! Danger!" Xuan Yunxian's expression changed instantly.

"It's fine." Liu Lingfeng showed no fear as he watched the descending dragon of laws; instead, he was filled with anticipation.

...

"Rumble."

In an instant, light radiated in all directions. The crowd shielded their eyes; the light was too dazzling to see anything clearly.

When the light faded and they saw what lay before them, everyone was utterly stunned.

What was this?

"This..." Xuan Yunxian stared at the massive phantom floating behind Liu Lingfeng, feeling as if she could barely stand. If not for someone supporting her, she might have fallen.

"It's him..."

...

Liu Lingfeng didn't notice any change in himself, but when he looked behind him, he was completely dumbfounded, then immediately cried out in surprise.

"Dad!"

The dragon of laws had transformed into a phantom of Lin Fan, silently floating behind Liu Lingfeng.

"Hmph, see this? This is my dad. And you two still dared to act tough in front of me? Where did you get the nerve?" Liu Lingfeng raised his head high, flicked his sleeves, and spoke with an air of dominance.

"You..." The two sect masters' expressions changed, but they stared warily at the phantom behind Liu Lingfeng.

What was this thing? How could such a thing happen?

...

"Master, see? I told you, with my dad backing our Profound Sword Pavilion, who do we have to fear?" Liu Lingfeng said with a smile.

Xuan Yunxian looked at the phantom behind Liu Lingfeng, then glanced around as if searching for something.

"Come out. I know you're not dead." Xuan Yunxian shouted hoarsely at the void.

The sect masters who had come for the coronation ceremony had no idea who the Xuan Sect master was speaking to or what she meant.

"Come out..." Xuan Yunxian refused to believe Feng'er's talk of protection; that was clearly formed from chains of laws.

Now that the chains of laws had appeared, the person must not be dead.

But last month, she had gone to the Holy Sect herself, and the body still lay motionless in the crystal stone coffin.

What was going on?

Xuan Yunxian desperately wanted to know.

...

Lin Fan, hidden in the void, sighed. He had originally wanted Liu Lingfeng to show off a little, but it seemed that was no longer possible.

Xuan Yunxian was agitated, her beautiful face filled with urgency.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky, then slowly descended.

Xuan Yunxian stared blankly at the approaching figure, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

A year of longing day and night, but every time hope arose, it was shattered by the sight of the figure lying in the crystal stone coffin.

He wouldn't come back to life.

But now, the figure she had missed day and night appeared before her—was it real?

Lin Fan looked at Xuan Yunxian. A year might not be long, but for some, it felt like an eternity.

Lin Fan didn't know what to say, so he offered a faint smile.

"Sorry, I just came back to life, so..." Before Lin Fan could finish, a figure threw herself into his arms.

Lin Fan was startled, then smiled softly. He wrapped his arms around Yunxian's slender waist, patted her back, and said nothing more.

Perhaps this situation required a moment to process.

"It's good that you're back..." Xuan Yunxian no longer looked like a sect master; her face radiated happiness like that of a young girl.

Liu Lingfeng stood to the side, crying noisily.

Lei Hengfeng stepped forward to comfort his friend, but as he approached, Liu Lingfeng grabbed him and sobbed on his shoulder.

Lei Hengfeng was utterly bewildered... Brother Liu, at least maintain some dignity.

The sect masters were also stunned.

What was happening? What was the relationship between the Xuan Sect master and this man?

And who was this man?

That terrifying power still lingered in their hearts—a power that made one tremble.

"Alright, so many people are watching. Today is your coronation. We'll talk slowly; I'll stay for a while." Lin Fan said.

"Mm." Xuan Yunxian nodded, then wiped the corner of her eyes. When she noticed the strange looks from the surrounding sect masters, her face flushed slightly.

"Dad! They bullied me!" At that moment, Liu Lingfeng rushed over, hugged Lin Fan's leg, and sobbed.

Lin Fan looked at Liu Lingfeng clinging to his leg and smiled helplessly. "If someone bullies you, fight back."

"But I can't beat them." Liu Lingfeng said.

"It's fine. I say you can beat them, so you can." Lin Fan said calmly.

"Okay."

...

Lin Fan looked at the masters of the Heavenly Earth Sect and the Mountain Sea Sect. His calm eyes flickered with a chilling light.

The masters of the Heavenly Earth Sect and the Mountain Sea Sect trembled inwardly when they met Lin Fan's gaze.

"Hmph, you dared to bully me? Take this!" Liu Lingfeng had blind faith in Lin Fan. Without caring how powerful his opponents were, he threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The Heavenly Earth Sect master's body was sent flying into the distance.

"Haha, see if you dare bully me again! Take that!" Liu Lingfeng was thrilled by the sight.

...

For the masters of the Heavenly Earth Sect and the Mountain Sea Sect, crushing Liu Lingfeng would have been child's play, but at this moment, they dared not fight back.

That mysterious man hadn't made a move, but his gaze just now had plunged them into bone-chilling cold, leaving them unable to muster any resistance.

They believed that if they dared to fight back, their lives would be extinguished in an instant.

...
