“Stop, Fang Lin!” Lu Jiuhe yelled.

Upon hearing that command, Fang Lin could not continue beating Kang Lu up anymore. He could only deliver two more punches to Kang Lu’s face ferociously before stopping unwillingly.

The corners of Lu Jiuhe’s lips twitched. I already asked you to stop, yet you still punch Kang Lu’s face. You know that you’ve gone too far, don’t you?

At present, Kang Lu was already lying on the ground. He was utterly incapable of standing up anymore. His entire body was covered in marks as a result of being beaten up by Fang Lin, especially his face which was swollen on both sides. One of his eyes was red while the other was purple. Even his acquaintances could not recognize him anymore at one glance.

However, while Kang Lu had yet to lose his consciousness at this very moment, he was staring at Fang Lin with extreme hatred through his swollen eyes.

In reality, he was going through a mental breakdown. He found it unacceptable that he would lose to Fang Lin who had just been initiated for a year. Moreover, he was also extremely shocked because he learned that Fang Lin was on the primordial man level-5 realm through their duel earlier. However, a year ago, Fang Lin had only been on the primordial man level-2 realm and was far inferior to Kang Lu at the time.

Right now, Fang Lin’s realm was equal to his. This was simply preposterous!

Lu Jiuhe walked over in a hurry to check on Kang Lu’s injuries. He shot Fang Lin a raging glare when he discovered Kang Lu’s tragic state. “Fang Lin, you shouldn’t go any further than necessary in a martial arts duel. Look at what you’ve done!” he fumed in rage.

Fang Lin pursed his lips and said, “Senior Brother Disciple Lu, you’ve seen it yourself. Senior Brother Disciple Kang is so powerful that I can only go all out and fight back. If I were to show mercy, I’m afraid that that would be me lying on the ground.”

“You’ve gone too far! Harming your peer disciple is considered a serious crime. Are you guilty as charged?” Lu Jiuhe did not care about Fang Lin. Regardless, he was determined to pin the crime of harming a peer disciple on him.

Fang Lin said with an innocent expression, “Senior Brother Disciple Lu, I don’t agree. Don’t think that I’m fine just because I’m standing here. I’m actually injured too. Moreover, I’m suffering from internal injuries that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Perhaps, I might vomit blood and not be able to stand up in a few days. By then, will Senior Brother Disciple Kang stand guilty of the same crime of harming a peer disciple?”

Upon listening to Fang Lin’s exceedingly shameless words, Kang Lu was simply dumbstruck as he lay on the ground. I didn’t even touch you once. How the h*ll did you get internal injuries anyway?

Lu Jiuhe growled, “You’re shameless!”

Refusing to talk any more nonsense with Lu Jiuhe, Fang Lin said, “Senior Brother Disciple Lu, I’d like to know if you’d be as anxious as you are now if it was me that was injured by Senior Brother Disciple Kang Lu.”

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire scene went deadly silent. Lu Jiuhe wanted to say that he would do the same, but he could not utter the words.

Fang Lin scoffed softly. He did not wish to pretend anymore with these people. “I’ve spoken what I wanted to say. Senior Brother Disciple Lu, it’s best that you show some self-restraint. I may not be the person at a disadvantage if news of this incident were to travel.”

“Are you threatening me?” Lu Jiuhe said with a dim, gloomy gaze.

Fang Lin shook his head and said smilingly, “How would I have the audacity to threaten you, Senior Brother Disciple Lu? After all, you still have a great deity like Qiu Fan as your backer. I can’t afford to provoke you, so I can only bully Kang Lu.”

Lu Jiuhe sneered, “Since you are aware of Senior Brother Disciple Qiu Fan, how dare you still injure Kang Lu? That’s quite courageous of you.”

“Why should I be afraid? With no status nor power, all of you can oppose me as you wish but I’m not allowed to resist your bully, right? If I can’t win against all of you, then I can only vent my anger on Kang Lu. Afterward, if all of you still plan to demoralize me, then do as you wish,” Fang Lin said with a faint smile.

The group of people was speechless. However, they realized that Fang Lin’s words made sense after deeper consideration. It was true that Fang Lin was a lone ranger and was but a low-grade disciple. He did not have a status even if he wanted to or a network even if he wished for it. He appeared to be on the weak side at all times.
