A person lets their guard down the most the moment that they think they've won.

This was even more the case with Bing Jun and Huo Fei, these proud young masters who had never lost before. As soon as they were certain of their victory, they completely let go of their carefully laid out plans from before.

Both of them thought that Lin Fan's barrier was running out of power and this was their chance to take care of him. So neither of them had the same caution as before and charged right at him to end this battle.

It was just a pity that this was a trap that Lin Fan had set for them.

Bing Jun was the closest to Lin Fan since he attacked Lin Fan head on, but right before his slash could hit Lin Fan, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared in front of him.

This was the barrier that he thought had disappeared, the barrier that he had thought that he had weakened. However, that weakening of the barrier was just a trick that Lin Fan used.

He had purposefully lowered the power of the barrier to make it seem like it was about to fade away.

Of course, it wasn't just as simple as that.

He also had to make sure that the timing was right, otherwise it would seem strange that the barrier would suddenly become weaker. So he had been stalling this entire time to make sure that it seemed like a natural weakening of the barrier instead of a sudden weakening of the barrier.

If he didn't do this, it was impossible to bait Bing Jun in.

Bing Jun's attack was blocked by the barrier, but there was still Huo Fei who was attacking from the shadows.

With Lin Fan's barrier being occupied by Bing Jun's head on attack, Huo Fei still felt like he had a chance to attack Lin Fan from the shadows. So instead of drawing back like he normally would have after their plan failed, he continued charging at Lin Fan.

It was just too bad that he forgot about one thing.

There were still those black daggers that had been floating around Lin Fan.

Both Bing Jun and Huo Fei had assumed that these black daggers would be for Bing Jun since he was the one who was facing Lin Fan head on, but that wasn't the case.

As soon as Huo Fei appeared from the shadows, Lin Fan immediately turned his attention to him.

Those black daggers that had been floating in the air around him also disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared again, they were now floating around Huo Fei.

Instead of passively floating around him like they had been doing with Lin Fan, the tip of these daggers were now all pointed at Huo Fei.

Without a single pause, they suddenly stabbed at him from different angles, completely covering every angle that he could escape in. Huo Fei had no other choice but to face these daggers head on.

He didn't have the spatial laws like Lin Fan had which was what sent these black daggers to surround him in the first place.

So with no other choices, Huo Fei raised his flaming daggers to block the black daggers that had surrounded him. It was just too bad that he had given up his guard to attack Lin Fan and he had been caught off guard by this sudden attack that he wasn't able to block all of them.

There were five black daggers that had appeared around, just being able to block three of them was already good enough.

But as for the two that he couldn't block, they stabbed right into his back.

These black daggers were special items that Lin Fan had bought from the system, so they were by no means weak. They were even stronger than the True Soul Realm Daggers that he had bought previously.

So Huo Fei who had been caught off guard by these black daggers couldn't block them at all as they drew blood. However, that wasn't the only damage that Huo Fei suffered.

The laws in the daggers were sent right into Huo Fei and they caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He had clearly suffered internal injuries from this blow and the injuries he suffered weren't light.

Seeing that Huo Fei had been injured, Bing Jun wasted no time gathering a wave of ice.

He sent this wave of ice right at Lin Fan, but this wave of ice wasn't for attacking Lin Fan. Instead, it was to obscure Lin Fan's vision and create a wall between them while he went to rescue Huo Fei.

Even if the two of them didn't have a good relationship, Huo Fei was currently his partner and he couldn't just let him die for nothing. When it came down to it, Bing Jun would still save him.

Even more so in this situation because Lin Fan's strange techniques really were putting pressure on them. He didn't feel confident in taking on Lin Fan alone, he still needed Huo Fei's help.

It was just too bad that he had completely underestimated the power of Lin Fan's dagger.

He had assumed that Huo Fei's injuries weren't that bad, but what was inside of Lin Fan's daggers were death laws. They had completely wrecked havoc on Huo Fei's internal organs and if he didn't take some time to clear them to allow himself to heal, it was likely that he would die from this injury.

Bing Jun had only based the situation on Huo Fei's outer appearance, but after rescuing Huo Fei, he realized that this situation was bad for him.

No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for Huo Fei to fight anymore…

Now he would have to face Lin Fan alone and he had seen how Lin Fan's barrier was still working. It was clear that Lin Fan would be able to fight him still and he would even be able to pressure him with this strange barrier.

But it wasn't as if he could back down now…

So after thinking about it, Bing Jun decided to use his words.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to Lin Fan and said, "Do you really want to continue fighting? It won't take long before Master You finishes off your guard and then what will you do?"

Lin Fan knitted his brows since he wasn't certain about the black cloaked man's chances of fighting the World Realm Expert backing Bing Jun.

He knew that they were both World Realm Experts, but he was really lacking information about the two of them, so he didn't know who would win in a fight. Their fight could end at any second and once it did, it would completely change the situation of the battlefield.

Bing Jun naturally noticed the change in Lin Fan's expression and continued pressing, "You should give up now. You've shown more than enough power and as long as you give up, I can guarantee that you won't receive the same treatment as the rest of the cannon fodder. You will be given a proper position in our Bing Family and you'll be considered one of the nobles of the Tai Stellar Kingdom. This is something that not even those trash sects are getting."

Then as if he thought of something, Bing Jun added, "As for my marriage to Xue'er, we can discuss this. I'm willing to take a step back and properly woo her. I'm certain that my sincerity will move me, you can believe in that, brother in law."

Lin Fan looked right into his eyes when he said this.

The way that Lin Fan's eyes looked at him, it was as if he could see right through him, seeing right to the core of his soul. As this gaze was on him, Bing Jun couldn't help trembling…

But in the end, Lin Fan just revealed a bitter smile and shook his head.

Bing Jun could see that something was off, so he quickly said, "Brother in law, you shouldn't reject this offer so quickly. All these terms are negotiable, so if there's anything that you aren't satisfied with or if there's something that you want, you can just tell me. I promise that our Bing Family will give you terms that will satisfy you."

This was unlike the normal Bing Jun who was cold and proud, but Lin Fan really had shown too much that he couldn't deny him anymore. He couldn't see through Lin Fan at all, so he knew that it was better if he could convince him to stop with words. But to do so, he would naturally need to put down his arrogance and treat him as an equal…

But it was just too bad that Lin Fan didn't buy this at all.

Once again, Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, there's no need for that at all."

Bing Jun was completely confused and angered when he heard this. He had even put down his pride and he was being rejected like this?

When had a proud young master like him ever suffered this kind of humiliation?

But he couldn't help asking, "Why do you not consider it? Is it because I didn't offer enough?"

Lin Fan looked right at him and said, "It's your eyes, it's clear that you have no intentions of giving up on Xue'er."

Bing Jun's eyes turned cold when he heard this.

That was right, he had indeed lied about that. He knew that once Lin Fan was brought up to the Tai Stellar Kingdom, with the new status that he received after completing this mission, it would be easy to plot against him and make Lin Xue his.

So everything that he had said was just a lie.

Bing Jun said in a cold voice, "Since that's the case, then there's no need to talk anymore is there?"

Lin Fan didn't say a thing, but his raising of his weapon made his intentions clear.

But before either side could do anything, there was a black figure that suddenly fell from the sky.
