Chapter 1212: Soul Suppressing Halberd

Hehehe, Lucifer naturally understood this feeling, without a bit of perseverance, it was impossible to continue. Taking advantage of Lao Jiu’s distraction, he took a deep breath and increased his upward speed by a degree. In a swift motion, the Soul Suppressing Halberd in his right hand switched to his left hand, while his right fist, already charged with power, smashed into Lao Jiu’s chest.

Bam! The chest was met solidly by the force of the punch. The fairly strong Lao Jiu flew out like a kite with a broken string, spitting out bits of blood froth from his mouth. Seeing this, Hua Qingyi dashed swiftly to the right, but he was still a step too late.

Lao Jiu’s entire body collided with a tree, sliding down and knocking over several lampposts before finally coming to a stop.

"Damn it!" Lao Jiu cursed in frustration as he got up from the ground. No matter how he saw it, he was much more powerful than that verbose guy, yet he couldn’t withstand even a single move, whereas that guy could at least endure dozens of them. This disparity made him extremely furious.

Tightly gripping the fan in his hand, he stomped forward with his right foot, fiercely pushing off the ground to bounce into the air, gathering his strength within to prepare for a full-force attack. Hua Qingyi had no time to block, only feeling a gust of wind pass above his head as Lao Jiu once again returned to Lucifer’s back.

With the fan positioned horizontally in the right hand, the steel fan handle directly targeted Lucifer’s left hand holding the Soul Suppressing Halberd, now wise enough to avoid a collision with this divine artifact, seeking a shortcut to attack elsewhere.

Sensing the wind reflected from behind, Lucifer bent sideways, throwing the Soul Suppressing Halberd from the left hand to the right hand, rotating his body 180 degrees, and slapping Lao Jiu’s right wrist with his left palm. Simultaneously, the Soul Suppressing Halberd was already stabbing diagonally into his right-side waist muscle.

Slash!

Lao Jiu could distinctly hear the sound of his skin being pierced. At this moment, it’s beyond mere pain, penetrating with unspeakable coldness, transmitted through the three spikes of the Soul Suppressing Halberd into every nerve, every cell in the body.

Without having time to shake off this chill, Lucifer’s second heavy strike was already pressing towards his head. After slapping away Lao Jiu’s wrist with his left palm, without the slightest retreat, and at the same focal point, he transformed his palm into a fist, pounding into Lao Jiu’s right-side temple.

Trailing behind, Hua Qingyi saw this and yelled furiously, charging at Lucifer. Just at that moment, two silhouettes shot from the side, landing in front of him.

"Brother? Brother!" Hua Qingyi was hesitant to believe the person suddenly appearing in front of him, hesitating only slightly before running towards that slender back. Consort Ling leapt into the air to catch Lao Jiu’s body that had been knocked flying, throwing a cold glance at Lucifer before returning to Xiao Lin’s side with the heavily wounded Lao Jiu.

Standing on the third floor, Murong Lengyue’s hands pressed tightly against the glass. Upon realizing who the visitor was, she felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest, a feeling indescribable with words. Following this inexplicable stir was a wisp of worry, uncertain of what might have happened somewhere, nor whether Xiao Lin knew everything, but amidst all these guesses, she rushed out reflexively.

For the first time, she found her long skirt to be such an annoyance, for the first time felt such eagerness to see this man, for the first time she was indifferent about being laughed at or disgracing the Murong Family because of her actions. All she wanted right now was to feel this man’s presence, his realness.

Xiao Lin glanced at the figure of Murong Lengyue, and as she rushed over, he sidestepped, avoiding her excessive force that would’ve otherwise sent her tumbling to the ground. Troy, maintaining his stance all along, reached out to support her, preventing her from falling with embarrassment.

Murong Lengyue stood unmoved in her original place, not feeling humiliation from the fall, but didn’t feel particularly delighted about it either. As Xiao Lin just dodged away, her heart seemed torn apart, hearing the sound of its shattering.

The shattered heart seemed unable to close again, so painful, yet so real!

"Brother!" Hua Qingyi hugged Xiao Lin tightly, wanting to say ’it’s good you’re back,’ but every word became meaningless at this moment—one embrace was enough.

The excitement in his heart was beyond words—as Xiao Lin appeared at the moment most needed!

Xiao Lin smiled at Hua Qingyi. "You did well! Leave the rest to me; you just watch from the side."

Throughout, Xiao Lin never once looked directly at Murong Lengyue, not even sparing her the corner of his eye, as if there was no such person on the scene. If it were before, he’d kindly guide her aside, but now all of that has departed with his return.

Step by step, Xiao Lin approached Lucifer, glanced at Lao Jiu in Consort Ling’s hands, then scanned the magician and angel slowly nearing Lucifer. "Where’s Yi? Let him come out, I want to talk to him."

"Let him out? Seems you don’t understand the situation. Here, I call the shots, not you, Xiao Lin." Lucifer, upon seeing Xiao Lin, felt a greater inner shock than anyone. Someone who should not be back was now standing intact in front of him, such astonishment indeed made his heart tremble.

"You call the shots? And what are you? Not worthy."

No one likes feeling belittled, Lucifer’s shoulders shook slightly, and the Soul Suppressing Halberd in his hand emitted a ghostly cry. Xiao Lin glanced at the weapon in his hand, astonished yet mixed with ridicule.

"The Soul Suppressing Halberd is a sinister object that gathers all the souls it has slain. You are not its true master, and using it recklessly has severe consequences."

"So what?"

"Haha!" Xiao Lin shook his head and said no more. "What do you want, bringing so many people to my Black Street? Intend to start a war?"

"Take him away!"

"Hmm, you want to take Consort Ling? Sure, trade the Clown for him; otherwise, no deal." The moment Xiao Lin spoke, Troy began to squeal but was immediately silenced by Hua Qingyi covering his mouth. "Since you, the second in ’Black Crow,’ want to stir trouble using the rules, then let’s play by the rules. If there are no rules, I will kill you."

Xiao Lin’s voice was clear and resonant, each word spoken slowly and powerfully. "You, if you dare claim now that ’Black Crow’ is not part of the Xiao Family, then I won’t play by the rules with you."

Lucifer raised his head, staring at Xiao Lin, meeting his dark and indifferent eyes, and couldn’t help but take a step back. "Can’t make a decision? Didn’t you say you could just now?"

"As long as you now admit that ’Black Crow’ is no longer part of the Xiao Family, then whether you want to take Consort Ling or kill him, it has nothing to do with the Xiao Family, but it does concern my Black Street."

The gray eyes stared unwaveringly at Xiao Lin, and after a while, Lucifer smiled slightly. "Young Master Xiao’s provocation is very timely, but whether ’Black Crow’ belongs to the Xiao Family doesn’t matter to me, Lucifer. Besides, you’re in trouble yourself now. Don’t forget the woman behind you; she can strip you of your title at any moment."

"In trouble!" Xiao Lin laughed wildly, turning to glance at Murong Lengyue. "If you have the guts to take my woman and collude with external enemies, you must have the courage to bear the consequences. Since you can’t accept Seven’s death to trade for the Clown’s life, then hand over the Clown."

"Hand him over? Xiao Lin, you’re too far-fetched! Then who will compensate for Seven’s life?"

"Does ’Black Crow’ conduct business like you? Without any sense of order?" Xiao Lin stepped forward unexpectedly, his right hand clasping Lucifer’s wrist like an unbreakable iron claw. "Everything should follow the proper steps, understand?" After saying this, he released Lucifer. If Xiao Lin wanted him to do anything just now, he might have escaped with his life, but not without a crippled wrist.

"Come out! If you don’t want to see your subordinates in a worse situation, show yourself." Xiao Lin said loudly, taking a deep breath. "I know where you are; do you want me to force you out?"

The shadows beneath the trees shifted, and a figure darted out from beside Nicholas. Murphy was scared witless; when did this person start hiding by his side without leaving a trace?

"There you are at last." Looking at Wing, Xiao Lin clamped his lips tightly.

"’Black Crow’ always belongs to the Xiao Family."

"What about Seven’s death?"

"Can you spare the Clown’s life? I don’t want him to die either!"

"Wing!" Lucifer called out from behind.

"Shut up, aren’t you ashamed enough?" Wing didn’t turn around, retorting against Lucifer’s discontent while staring at Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin looked coldly at Wing, feeling the urge to punish, yet deeply disgusted, which perhaps stems from intense hatred. "Take your people and get lost; don’t let me see you again."

Ignoring the others, Xiao Lin took the Soul Suppressing Halberd from Consort Ling and darted toward the building. Watching Wing’s wounded expression, Hua Qingyi was extremely tempted to speak, but held back, sighed at him, and chased after Xiao Lin. Troy looked at Consort Ling, like a bewildered child, not moving an inch.

"Consort Ling! I will find an opportunity to avenge Seven, just you wait." After dropping this bitter remark, Lucifer, accompanied by the Magician, turned and left the long street.

"And you?" Consort Ling didn’t take Lucifer’s warning seriously; when he killed Seven, he had already prepared thoroughly, facing Wing, Consort Ling asked.

"Don’t blame Lucifer; he values you more than anyone. I know Xiao Lin won’t calm down until Seven dies, and Seven knows this too, so his death has nothing to do with you."

"I’m not talking about that, the Assassin Group at the farm." Wing was momentarily taken aback. "Aren’t they the ones you brought over from the Dan Clan?" (To be continued.
