Chapter 152: The Thirteen Members of the Yin Family

As the words fell, Yin Xiang collapsed backward, his teeth clenched tight, unconscious.

"Holy crap, Yin Xiang, wake up! What's wrong with you?" Zhou Heping was startled by him and hurriedly helped him up.

Fortunately, Yun Yingfa was a high-level alchemist; after checking Yin Xiang's condition, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Small problem, he hasn't slept for three days, and with his nerves stretched tight, he suddenly succeeded just now; his emotions fluctuated too much, so he fainted."

Having said that, Yun Yingfa took out a few medicinal pills and fed them to Yin Xiang, then poured a few mouthfuls of water down his throat, and only then did Yin Xiang slowly wake up.

"Yes! Good! I did it!"

As soon as Yin Xiang woke up, he clapped his hands in excitement and then ran toward the forging furnace.

Inside the forging furnace, a dark silver longbow radiated a chilling gleam, and upon the longbow were very natural and irregular patterns—those were the traces left behind by Yin Xiang's forging.

One strike of the hammer creates one mark, and three strikes form one pattern; judging by the patterns on the longbow, Yin Xiang had struck it at least one hundred thousand times.

Yin Xiang took out the longbow and reattached the original bowstring, which meant that this epic-grade equipment had been successfully reforged!

Next, it only awaited for Yin Xiang, this blacksmith, to name the longbow, and it would become a brand-new piece of epic-grade equipment.

Yin Xiang picked up the longbow, staring at it with a silly grin, muttering to himself.

"Hehe, I did it!"

Yun Yingfa and Zhou Heping looked at each other, both seeing terror on the other's face.

"It's over, Yin Xiang has gone mad with joy!" Zhou Heping couldn't help but say.

"No, I haven't gone mad!"

Yin Xiang said in a deep voice, his eyes shining with light.

"I should... be able to become a Master Blacksmith very soon! The only Master Blacksmith in Qingcheng!"

"What?!" X2

Yun Yingfa and Zhou Heping exclaimed in unison; as fellow practitioners of life-professions, they knew very well what kind of chasm lay between high-level and master.

If one does not find the way, some people might never become a master of a life-profession in their entire lives.

Yin Xiang nodded with a smile, then sighed with emotion.

"In normal times, who would be willing to let a high-level blacksmith like me reforge an epic-grade piece of equipment? Even if they were willing to give it, I wouldn't dare to touch it! If I ruined it, the trouble would be huge!"

"I have a premonition that if I am given another month to settle down and reflect, I will definitely become a Master Blacksmith!" Yin Xiang said with high spirits.

"Then congratulations to Brother Yin."

"When you get rich, don't forget us, Brother Yin."

The expressions of Zhou Heping and Yun Yingfa were not very good; clearly, they were both kidnapped and threatened, so why was it that Yin Xiang was the one who took the opportunity to break through? This made the two of them feel extremely unbalanced.

But they dared not act rashly; if Yin Xiang truly became a Master Blacksmith, then to put it bluntly, even the City Lord Hu Weng would have to treat this guy with great courtesy in the future.

"Hahahaha, let's go, let's go finish the job! This matter can be considered successfully completed!" When a person encounters happy events, their spirit is refreshed; Yin Xiang laughed and walked into the house carrying the longbow.

At this moment, Ye Lin was playing a game in the room; seeing the three of Yin Xiang enter, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Sit wherever you like, don't be polite, just treat it like your own home."

Yin Xiang: "..."

After a moment of silence, Yin Xiang still managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Little brother, I've finished reforging that bow for you, take a look."

Ye Lin put down his phone and took the longbow handed over by Yin Xiang, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

The longbow felt cold to the touch, as if he were holding a piece of thousand-year ice the moment he took it. The dark silver bow body flowed with a faint light, and the irregular pattern traces exuded a sense of toughness.

Moreover, both ends of the longbow were exceptionally sharp, fully capable of being used as a melee weapon.

Ye Lin's heart stirred; he gripped the longbow and gave it a light wave, and a sharp, cold glint flashed by, with a faint whistling sound seemingly echoing in the air.

And only after checking the attributes of this longbow did Ye Lin know why this bow would come with melee attributes.

【Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow】

【Grade: Epic】

【Attribute: Strength +1000】 (Can be refined)

【Skill: Truth-Breaking】

【Truth-Breaking: When the bow-wielder is within ten meters of the target, the power of the arrows fired by the Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow is doubled, and it ignores the opponent's defensive equipment below divine artifact grade.】

"Double power within ten meters and ignores defense? Interesting."

The corner of Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly; this also meant that within ten meters, if he shot accurately enough, even if the opponent had legendary-grade armor, it would still be one arrow per kill.

This skill was a very extreme one; it was good, but its flaws were also very obvious.

Caught off guard, it could give the opponent a big surprise, but once within ten meters, the role of a weapon like a bow was much smaller; no wonder they sharpened both ends of the bow body to add a melee attribute.

However, all in all, Ye Lin was very satisfied with this reforged longbow.

He also had a new identity: a melee archer.

It just so happened that there were many ordinary archer-related skills in the Great Sumeru Ring, and now they could finally be put to use.

Seeing the smile on Ye Lin's face, the three of Yin Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little brother, then the grudge between us can be wiped clean, right?"

"That goes without saying."

Ye Lin nodded, then he looked down at his phone; when he saw that he had already lost the game due to idling, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

"You dare to cause me to lose the game? You have already invited your own death!"

The faces of the three of Yin Xiang turned green instantly.

"Little brother! You have to be reasonable! We agreed that as long as we successfully reforged that bow, you wouldn't kill us!" Yin Xiang hurriedly exclaimed.

"Stop talking, Yin Xiang, don't you understand yet? When Cao Shaolin sat in your shop, it didn't matter whether there were green onions in the beef noodles or not."

Yun Yingfa sighed gloomily; he finally saw it—Ye Lin never intended to let the three of them go from the start.

Even if they hadn't caused him to lose the game, he could have found other excuses to kill them, such as stepping in with their left foot first.

From the moment the three of them hired killers, the outcome was already doomed.

"You are very smart, then you die first."

Ye Lin raised his hand and hammered down hard on the top of Yun Yingfa's head; Yun Yingfa's entire head instantly retracted into his chest cavity, and his whole body collapsed limply to the ground.

Yin Xiang was scared out of his mind on the spot.

"No! Don't kill me! I'm about to become a Master Blacksmith, I have a bright future! Don't kill me! I can be your dog, I beg you!"

"Sigh, if only you knew today would come, why act as you did in the beginning?" Ye Lin sighed gloomily. "I would like to help you, but unfortunately, I am powerless."

As the words fell, Yin Xiang had his neck twisted, his eyes wide open in death, unable to close them.

Afterward, one by one, all the living creatures in Yin Xiang's home were sent by Ye Lin to reunite with Yin Xiang via Endless Devour; to destroy the remaining traces, Ye Lin thoughtfully set a fire, left after the deed was done, and hid his name and fame deep away.

Not long after, the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau also received the news, and Xu Xiu rushed into Huang Litian's office in a panic.

"Master, it's bad!"

"Overnight, all thirteen members of the Yin family, plus a dog named Abiao, were all murdered!"
