Chapter 281 - 281 Using Him As A Knife?



281 Using Him As A Knife?

Ye Jin didn’t know what was going on, but when she saw how serious Lin Ran was, her heart skipped a beat.

“Is our enemy dangerous?”

Ye Jin asked with a trembling voice. It was unknown if she was nervous or afraid, but her childish face turned pale.

“Very dangerous.”

!!

Lin Ran nodded and thought for a moment before shaking his head. “But we don’t know what the other party’s motive is yet, so you don’t have to worry for the time being. Go and hide.”

Ye Jin wanted to say something, but Lin Ran stopped her with a wave of his hand. She had no choice but to suppress the doubts in her heart and run to a dense bush to hide.

Almost at the same time that Ye Jin hid, a muffled sound like thunder suddenly came from the horizon. A few small black dots flew over at an astonishing speed. At the same time, a domineering pressure swept over like a huge wave!

The originally quiet wilderness instantly became chaotic. Lin Ran stood proudly in the strong wind with his hands behind his back. No matter how strong the wind was, the area within five steps of him was still calm.

However, Ye Jin, who was hiding in the bushes, didn’t have a good time.

Under that huge pressure, Ye Jin felt like there was a stone stuck in her chest that made her unable to breathe.

Countless branches of the bushes were blown by the strong wind and whipped her mercilessly like a whip. In the blink of an eye, a few bloody marks appeared on her exposed skin.

“Ouch!”

Ye Jin couldn’t help but cry out in pain. When she realized she was exposing her whereabouts, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

However, Lin Ran still heard her voice. He expanded the range of the protective barrier to 30 steps, covering the bushes where Ye Jin was hiding.

At the same time, the black dots in the sky approached. As the few of them landed on the ground, the wind calmed down.

The person in the lead was wearing a black robe. Although he was in the territory of the Great Yong Dynasty, there was a short sword hanging from his waist. He had a faint smile on his face. It was Lin Ran’s old enemy, Liu Hongshan.

Behind him were six soldiers in black armor. Their appearances were completely covered by masks. They were tall and straight, as if they didn’t feel the weight of the armor at all. However, one could tell that the armor was definitely not light.

After detecting with his divine sense, Lin Ran had a grasp of the situation. Then, he looked at Liu Hongshan and smiled faintly. “We meet again… Saber thief!”

Liu Hongshan laughed heartily. He changed the topic and asked, “You’ve already gotten what you want. Why aren’t you going back?”

“Because I’m greedy.”

Lin Ran chuckled and glanced at the Dragon Roar Dagger at Liu Hongshan’s waist. “Why are you here again? You even brought so many people… Are you trying to catch me?”

“Lord Lin, you must be joking.”

Liu Hongshan glanced at the black-armored soldiers behind him. “They’re only at the sixth level of the Grandmaster Realm. They’re not qualified to catch you… They’re here to bid you farewell.”

“Farewell?”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, “Do I know anyone in the Great Yong Dynasty?”

As if knowing that Lin Ran would ask this question, Liu Hongshan raised his hand. The six of them took off their masks in unison, revealing their young faces.

“Xiao Shun?!”

Lin Ran instantly recognized one of them as the young man who had been in charge of receiving him and the empress in Nanjiang Town.

However, at that time, Xiao Shun was only at the first level of the Grandmaster Realm. In just a few days, he had reached the sixth level of the Grandmaster Realm. Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a little afraid of such a speed of advancement.

As for the others, although Lin Ran couldn’t name them, he remembered that he had seen them all in Nanjiang Town. Moreover, their realms had increased compared to before. It seemed that Liu Ruxi’s cocoon plan was still ongoing and had made progress.

“Lord Lin.”

The six of them lined up and bowed to him respectfully. Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice with a troubled expression, “Lord Lin, I don’t know when we’ll meet again. Let me apologize to you and Emperor Sheng Yuan first.”

Lin Ran was thinking about how far Liu Ruxi’s plan had gone when he heard this. He couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “Why are you apologizing?”

Xiao Shun did not answer. He put on his mask with the others and silently retreated behind Liu Hongshan.

Lin Ran could only look at Liu Hongshan in confusion. “What did he mean?”

“This is His Majesty’s plan.”

Liu Hongshan replied with a smile, “This afternoon, the six of them will disguise themselves as commoners and sneak into the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. As for what six grandmasters will do… I don’t need to say much, right?”

Lin Ran’s expression instantly darkened. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill them if you tell me this?”

“That’s why I’m here.”

Liu Hongshan smiled calmly and said, “This place is relatively close to the city. I can’t use my full strength easily, but I can still stall you and let them leave.”

After a pause, Liu Hongshan revealed a sinister expression. “Besides, they’re only the first team. His Majesty has arranged a total of ten teams of people like them. I’ll escort each team into the Heavenly Saint Realm.”

“Then I’ll kill them in the Heavenly Saint!”

Lin Ran replied coldly. After saying that, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why did Liu Hongshan seem to be hinting him what to do?

Liu Hongshan had once said that he and the Great Yong Dynasty were just using each other. Could it be that Xuan Wushang’s arrangement would affect his plan, so he was using Lin Ran to kill these people?

As soon as this thought appeared, Lin Ran felt that it was not impossible.

However, in front of Xiao Shun and the others, Lin Ran couldn’t ask too much. Otherwise, if he was right, without him needing to do it, Liu Hongshan would kill them on the spot.

Liu Hongshan suddenly turned to look at Liu Ertong and the others who had fainted. “Are you… in trouble?”

“It’s a small trouble. I can handle it.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he raised his eyebrows, but Liu Hongshan still didn’t look at him. His gaze turned to the bushes where Ye Jin was hiding. “There’s also a little rat…”

With that, Liu Hongshan had already raised his hand to touch the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Lin Ran’s pupils constricted and he instantly flashed to the bushes. “She’s my friend!”

“Oh?”

Liu Hongshan raised his eyebrows and looked at the bush with interest. “Then I have to kill her even more. She’s committing treason to be your friend!”

“Don’t you dare!”

Lin Ran shouted as he summoned the Yin-Yang Sword.

Almost at the same time, Lin Ran suddenly felt something tremble on his back. The killing intent in his heart that had been dormant for a long time suddenly became restless without warning!
