Chapter 18: Walking Right Into the Trap! The Green Snake Strikes

~8 min read 1,475 words

Lin Xuan walked toward the outside of the resort; it looked slow, but with every step, he moved forward more than ten meters.

Fang Dongtian circulated his Qi to chase after him, but he could not catch up.

Outside, a group of the younger generation was still discussing.

Lu Linglong and a few companions could not make sense of Lin Xuan's actions just now.

Then they saw Lin Xuan's figure flicker a few times, flashing past their eyes.

"Is that my big brother?"

The little fatty Cang Long said uncertainly.

"That is definitely our big brother."

Wang Ergou nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Lingyu also looked puzzled.

Then, they saw Fang Dongtian chasing behind, followed by Lu Jin and the others.

"What is going on?"

Seeing several senior elders come out, Lu Linglong and her companions exchanged glances and immediately chased after them.

Along with them was Zhang Lingyu.

When the others saw the actions of Lu Linglong and her group, they also noticed the behavior of Lu Jin and the group of seniors, and immediately swarmed over.

They were all curious about what was actually going on.

Lin Xuan did not pay attention to the people following behind him.

When he wants to do something, he can always achieve his goal very easily.

Of course, it has to be reasonable.

And this one right now is very reasonable.

Furthermore, the speed is fast, so it seems there is no need to wait that long.

Arriving outside the resort, Lin Xuan looked toward the direction of the road he had come from.

Fang Dongtian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Xuan stop.

"Xiao Xuan, what is going on?"

"Waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?" Fang Dongtian was stunned.

"A person who deserves to die."

Lin Xuan said.

Fang Dongtian immediately understood what Lin Xuan meant.

Just that murderer, right?

Lu Jin and the others also caught up; hearing the conversation between Lin Xuan and Fang Dongtian, they looked stunned.

Would that murderer really come here himself?

Is he crazy?

A large crowd behind also surged out, but seeing that Lu Jin and the others were not moving, they just stood in the back, tiptoeing to look and whispering to each other.

Lu Jin and the others did not bother with them.

Right now, what they were curious about was whether the murderer would really come.

But they did not have to wait long for their doubts; there was only one road leading to the resort.

A figure soon appeared on the road around the corner, heading toward this side.

Although he was walking, his speed was extremely fast, clearly not an ordinary person.

And those with good eyesight had already seen the appearance of the person coming.

Wearing a tattered Daoist robe, with long hair, he looked to be about thirty years old, and he looked very disheveled.

Damage could be seen on his clothes, as well as some bloodstains.

And looking at his panicked appearance, he was clearly running for his life.

The murderer?

Or was it that the person making this guy so panicked was the murderer?

Fang Dongtian and Lu Jin and the others were all stunned.

Did someone really come?

Zhao Guizhen, who was sprinting, felt bitter in his heart at this moment.

He had run into a lunatic.

Seeing so many people at the end of the road in the distance, Zhao Guizhen braced himself and quickened his pace.

He had to hide as soon as possible and recuperate; if he kept running like this, it would definitely be death.

But the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong.

It seemed, perhaps, that all those people in front were staring at him, and it seemed as if they were waiting for him.

Zhao Guizhen's heart skipped a beat; he slowed his pace and scanned the people in front.

Then, he saw Lu Jin and Lv Ci.

As a former disciple of the Shangqing Sect, Zhao Guizhen recognized Lu Jin and Lv Ci.

Then he remembered that Lu Jin seemed to be holding a grand birthday celebration.

I have walked right into the line of fire.

Zhao Guizhen, who felt his actions were still quite secretive, thought quickly and then moved forward slowly.

He was thinking of a countermeasure.

What he is worried about now is that the madman chasing him is doing so because he knows what he has done.

But that person is filled with an evil aura, even heavier than his own, so that should be unlikely.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guizhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace.

Lin Xuan looked at the person approaching and swept his gaze over him.

In his eyes, the evil aura on Zhao Guizhen simply could not be suppressed.

Two masses of black resentment, looking like the color of ink, were about to cover Zhao Guizhen completely.

"Go!"

Lin Xuan did not hesitate; before Zhao Guizhen could get close, he raised his hand and exposed his wrist.

A streak of cyan flew out from Lin Xuan's wrist, and the white bracelet also transformed into a white snake, coiling around his arm and flicking its tongue toward Zhao Guizhen.

After the cyan light flew out, it directly transformed into a large snake over a zhang long and lunged straight at Zhao Guizhen.

Zhao Guizhen's expression changed drastically.

What is this situation?

But as the Qing She reached him, he subconsciously wanted to strike to block it.

However, the Qing She was faster; it circled in the air, flicked its tail, and struck Zhao Guizhen directly.

Thwack!

A spray of black blood erupted, and Zhao Guizhen was sent flying backward, traveling over a hundred meters before crashing into the wall of the vacation villa and sliding to the ground.

The Qing She, having succeeded in its strike, wanted to pursue, but after sensing Lin Xuan's command, it changed direction, flew back, and transformed into a small snake again, coiling around Lin Xuan's arm.

This scene happened extremely quickly, leaving Lu Jin and the group of juniors stunned.

What is the situation with this big snake?

Everyone looked at Lin Xuan, their gazes falling upon his arm.

Two snakes circled his right arm, raising their heads to stare in Zhao Guizhen's direction.

Where did these snakes come from?

Lu Lin, among the crowd, had a change in expression.

He remembered that when they were talking about dining yesterday, Lin Xuan had asked him to send over a portion for three.

So these snakes had been by Lin Xuan's side the whole time.

Fang Dongtian naturally knew of these two Snake Immortals, so he was not surprised; he turned his head to look at Zhao Guizhen, who was leaning against the wall and had slid to the ground.

A large crater had appeared on the wall, and cracks spread out with the crater as the center.

Zhao Guizhen's face was as pale as gold paper; he leaned against the wall, slid down to a sitting position, and panted against the wall, looking as if he were about to lose consciousness.

The other juniors were dumbfounded.

They still did not know what had happened.

They only saw Lin Xuan suddenly release a snake and knock a person flying.

It was one thing to carry snakes around, but they were actually this powerful.

"Is this the culprit?"

Although Fang Dongtian had already guessed it, he still asked the question.

"The person isn't dead; one question and we'll know."

Lin Xuan said.

Zhao Guizhen's strength was not high; if the Qing She had wanted to kill him, it could have killed him in one strike.

However, Lin Xuan had stopped the Qing She.

Dying like that would be letting him off too easily.

The Company would certainly take good care of him.

Although the Company had official backing, it had its own methods for Outsiders who committed such evils.

Zhao Guizhen was different from those Outsiders who acted in front of ordinary people.

Those Outsiders could be released after being educated.

Someone like Zhao Guizhen, the Company probably wouldn't keep around; they might even make an example of him.

But Lin Xuan didn't need to worry about these things.

Being able to take him down and stop the other party from continuing to harm people was enough.

And at this moment, Zhao Guizhen was already stunned.

He had run out just to avoid the madman chasing him.

He had originally wanted to hide, but ended up meeting someone even more ruthless here.

Could it be a Snake Immortal from an Immortal-taming family?

More importantly, why did they attack him?

And with so many people watching, yet no one stopped it.

Fear welled up in his heart, already overpowering the pain in his chest and his internal injuries.

Had he been exposed?
