Seeing that Lin Bai’s attitude was somewhat contemptuous, the few of them sneered, “You’re still so arrogant even when you’re at the end of your life. You really don’t shed tears until you see the coffin.”
Lin Bai knew very few people in the capital, and did not have any enemies, except for Qian Ran and Zhong Haoran, who he had recently offended in the Alchemy Association.
However, they had seen him being seriously injured and then driven out of the Alchemist Association. Logically speaking, they should still think that he could not get out of bed. There was no life-and-death feud between them. They shouldn’t have sent assassins so quickly.
Another enemy was He Linsheng and He Qicheng from the He family in the capital.
Previously, the father and son had sent assassins, but they were dealt with by him. Later on, when he went to the Alchemist Association, the father and son should not have been able to do anything. Everything had been peaceful. Looking at the few people who appeared now, he asked,
“You were sent by He Qicheng and He Linsheng?”
Those people were seen through by Lin Bai with a glance. They only smiled coldly. In their eyes, Lin Bai was already a dead man. It didn’t matter if he knew who they were.
“I couldn’t tell. You still have some brains.”
Lin Bai was a little speechless. He didn’t expect He Qicheng and his son to be so persistent. He thought that they had given up, but they had been watching him in the dark. They were like maggots in the bone. He couldn’t get rid of them no matter how hard he tried. They really held a grudge to the extreme.
He raised his eyebrows. “Didn’t He Qicheng and the others tell you that the grave of the last group of people he sent to take my life is already two meters tall?”
Looking at Lin Bai’s pale face, they seemed to have heard a great joke and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“You’re so arrogant, kid. Who doesn’t know that you were expelled from the Alchemist Association with serious injuries? You’re still injured, but you dare to say such words. Do you think you can scare us?”
“Big brother, don’t waste your breath on this little brat. Let’s quickly finish him off and complete our mission.”
After saying that, the few of them launched their attacks at the same time. Intense spiritual power fluctuations flowed in the air, enveloping Lin Bai from all directions. The dense spiritual power was like a huge net, and Lin Bai was like a bird in a cage with wings that couldn’t escape.
However, Lin Bai’s figure was like an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, he had jumped onto the big tree next to him. The group of men were shocked as they raised their heads at the same time.
Spiritual power formed a long dragon formed and swept up. “Rumble!” A few big trees were broken. The tree that Lin Bai was on was also not spared. Rows of trees fell over like I a mountain toppling over the sea. It was about to swallow Lin Bai up.
The sea of trees behind him was on the verge of collapse. They were uprooted and soil was flung around. It was as if there was an earth dragon shuttling through them. It rampaged and destroyed a large area of the forest. There was almost no place for Lin Bai to hide.
He kept jumping in front like a small black dot. However, the sea of trees behind him came menacingly. Layer after layer, they piled up to an extremely high height. It was as if they had opened their huge mouths and were about to swallow everything.
The scene looked very spectacular. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands in the air that rolled up all the trees into a ball. The sharp wind was so strong that it could instantly tear people into pieces. If Lin Bai was in the wind, he would definitely not be spared.
The few of them revealed victorious smiles. Seeing that Lin Bai was no longer around, they could not help but feel complacent.
“I thought this kid had some power. It turned out only his eloquence was amazing.”
“He can only use his eloquence. Not to mention that he has yet to recover from his serious injuries. Even if he isn’t injured, a mere yellow-haired kid is still not worthy for us brothers to fight. How can we kill a chicken with a butcher’s knife? Any one of us would be enough to deal with him.”
“Big brother is right. I think elder He is too cautious. I really don’t know what there is to be afraid of about Lin Bai.”
While they were discussing, a light green fog spread from the grass and covered the ground, slowly approaching them.
They didn’t know when it started, but they were already surrounded by the thin fog.
“What is this green thing?”
One of them finally realized that something was wrong. The fog was so thick that even the leaves on the side were emitting a shocking greenness.
At first, they thought that it was the branches and leaves on the trees mixed with dust that didn’t dissipate after the ball. Now, it did not seem so. They could clearly see it, but they could not touch it. There was no smell at all.
For some reason, they had a bad feeling in their hearts looking at this inexplicable green fog.
“Why don’t we find that kid’s body? If he’s alive, we’ll see him. If he’s dead, we’ll see his body. That way, we can go back and hand in the mission.”
“That makes sense. It won’t be good if that kid still has a breath left and is rescued in the end.”
The few of them began to search like headless flies. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find Lin Bai. Instead, the green fog became thicker and thicker.
At first, they could only see things not far away from them. Now, it was getting heavier and heavier. They could no longer see the scene in the distance. They could only see their surroundings.
Even though they did not feel any discomfort, they still felt that something was strange.
“I think this fog is really strange. Why don’t we go back first? It won’t be too late to send people to search for him then.”
“I think this kid shouldn’t be able to survive under the joint attack of us brothers. I also feel that this green fog is strange. It wasn’t there at the beginning.”
The few of them were thinking of retreating. They planned to return to the He family first.
