Chapter 484: I'll Come Find You, Beat You to Death, and He'll Be Safe

Inside the house.

Haha saw the person entering and immediately exclaimed with joy, "My child is back! Daddy is so happy, haha..."

Cough! Cough!

He hadn't laughed for long before he started coughing. These were lingering ailments from his past work, flaring up now.

Ha Lin supported Haha and took out a medicinal pill from his pocket. "Daddy, this is a very good pill. Take it and you'll be fine. Don't work anymore. I can take care of this family."

Haha said, "You keep it. Dad's fine."

"Dad, I have plenty of these. It's okay." Ha Lin knew his father had mental issues, but he never felt ashamed of it. His father's love for him was profound; he felt his father was the best dad in the world.

The woman said, "Since your child gave it to you, just take it. Don't worry him."

Haha smiled, scratched his head, and obeyed his wife. He took the pill and his body felt much better immediately. "Have you visited your Uncle Bai?"

"Yes, I visited him on my way back," Ha Lin replied.

"That's good." Haha was very relieved. Lin Fan treated him well and treated his child well, so he hoped Ha Lin would treat Lin Fan well. Besides, Lin Fan had given him his name.

Otherwise, with their level of education, how could they have come up with such a beautiful name?

At the sect.

Wu Zhi, as the sect leader, was troubled. Recently, a mysterious demon had appeared in the territory under the sect's jurisdiction. Countless people had died at the hands of this demon, and many villages and towns had been affected.

He was determined to find the demon's location.

However, the demon's ability to conceal itself was very strong.

It was difficult to make any progress in a short time.

The demon's abilities were terrifying. Anyone injured by it would be infected with a demonic poison, turning them into flesh-eating monsters. Eventually, they discovered that these flesh-eating monsters were essentially the demon's laborers, helping it grow stronger.

"Sect Leader, do you think this demon could have been released by the Heavenly Fire Palace?" an elder inquired.

They had no prior animosity with the Heavenly Fire Palace.

But since that incident, a deep hatred had developed between the two sects. After decades of simmering, the hatred had intensified to the point where they were mortal enemies.

Wu Zhi said, "We can't jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. We must find this demon as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be a disaster. It's like raising a tiger to cause trouble."

The demon devoured human essence and blood to cultivate its own strength. If left unchecked, it would be a disaster.

"The Sect Leader is right," the elder replied.

Several months later.

Ha Lin returned from outside, his expression grave. His small team had suffered a loss. Their original five-person team was down one member. They were on a mission to protect ordinary people from the demon.

But he hadn't expected the situation to be so dangerous. If he hadn't used the "Fist Scripture" at the last moment to blast open an escape route, they all would have been trapped there.

"Did you encounter trouble?" Lin Fan noticed Ha Lin's downcast head and solemn expression, as if he were heartbroken. Clearly, something had happened.

"Uncle Bai, we encountered people harmed by the demon this time. They all died horribly. It was very dangerous. One of my junior brothers died at the hands of the demon. But we couldn't find any trace of it. Even the Sect Leader can't find it. I don't know how many more people will die," Ha Lin said sadly.

Lin Fan said, "Take me there. I'll help you eliminate the demon."

He wasn't worried about the Qian Yuan Sect being destroyed by the demon; he was worried about Ha Lin encountering danger outside. He hadn't known how dangerous the outside world was before.

But Wang Kai's death had shown him that it was very dangerous.

If something happened to Ha Lin, Haha would be devastated.

To prevent this, he wanted to take the initiative to find the demon and eliminate it.

Ha Lin didn't know if his uncle could find the demon, since even the Sect Leader couldn't find any trace of it. But he still chose to believe in his uncle.

Several days later!

"Uncle Bai, it's here," Ha Lin said.

They were now in a village. It had once been bustling, but after the demon's attack, it had become a ruin.

The ground was a dark reddish-black.

Blood mixed with soil, fermented over time, had become like this.

Ha Lin didn't know how his uncle would search.

In this situation, even a Great Emperor Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to do it.

Sniff! Sniff!

Lin Fan smelled the scent lingering in the air, spread his arms, sensed nature, and caught the demon's scent. It was faint, but he had found it.

Perceiving the entire world.

Nature was omnipresent, and those who could perceive nature were incredibly rare.

Soon.

He pinpointed the place where the scent was strongest.

"Found it," Lin Fan said, opening his eyes.

Ha Lin was shocked. "Uncle Bai, how did you find it?"

Lin Fan smiled. "I smelled it."

Then, he grabbed Ha Lin and leaped into the air. The distance was quite far. If they walked, it would take a lot of time. It was better to spend that time reading.

A day later.

Ha Lin was completely stunned by his uncle's methods.

He had never seen anyone travel like this. The feeling was something he had never experienced before. He looked around and found himself in an unfamiliar place, but the surrounding environment was harsh.

An abyss-like aura permeated the air.

"Uncle Bai, is it really here?" Ha Lin asked.

"Yes, it's here." Lin Fan smiled, then, under Ha Lin's dumbfounded gaze, he slammed his palm onto the ground. With a boom, a terrifying wave of energy spread out. The ground, harder than any magical treasure, instantly cracked, and countless black auras surged out from the depths.

"Demon, come out," Lin Fan said.

Immediately following.

A sharp shriek echoed through the heavens and earth.

"Who dares disturb me?"

The earth shook, and monstrous demonic energy soared into the sky, coalescing in the air. In the blink of an eye, a figure in a red robe appeared before them.

Ha Lin exclaimed, "Is this the demon?"

He felt a terrifying pressure emanating from the demon, a pressure that made him tremble all over, leaving him without any ability to resist.

"Yes, this is the demon. Judging by the smell, there's no mistake. If you had encountered it, you would have been in serious trouble," Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan beckoned to the demon. "You're responsible for what happened at the Qian Yuan Sect, right?"

He knew it was the demon, but habit told him it was better to ask.

The demon asked arrogantly, "Who are you?"

Lin Fan said, "I'm his uncle. He's been searching for you, but it's too dangerous. I'm afraid something might happen to him, so I came to find you, beat you to death, and then he'll be safe."

His logic was flawless.

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, the demon's expression changed to one of shock, as if it had heard the biggest joke in the world. After a moment of silence, it burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, ridiculous! That's truly ridiculous! You foolish cultivator, uttering such foolish words! Do you know that I am only half a step away from breaking through my limits and becoming a Void Spirit Realm being? Even the strongest cultivators of your human race wouldn't dare touch me."

Ha Lin's face paled. Half a step away from the Void Spirit Realm?

This was a terrifying demon!

At this moment.

Lin Fan walked towards the demon. Ha Lin shouted, "Uncle Bai, be careful!"

He arrived beneath the demon, raised his hand, and beckoned to the demon. "Come down here. I have something to tell you."

The demon looked down at Lin Fan with disdain. In an instant, its body melted and transformed into a red streak of light, with only its head remaining, a long tail trailing behind.

It coiled around Lin Fan.

"Ridiculous. You actually said you came to kill me. I'm curious, how will you kill me?"

Lin Fan raised his fist. "With one punch."

The demon laughed, laughed heartily, as if it had encountered some incredibly funny joke. A moment later, the demon's aura turned sinister.

"Then let's see how you die."

In the blink of an eye.

The demon materialized and unleashed a furious barrage of punches at Lin Fan. At the demon's level of cultivation, every attack distorted the space around them.

This was the first time Ha Lin had seen his uncle fight.

Of course.

Right now, his uncle was being beaten. He watched with trepidation and worry, unsure if his uncle could withstand it. The billowing dust obscured his uncle from view.

Lin Fan found the demon annoying. He raised his hand and tapped the demon's head. With just this tap, he knocked the demon silly. It stared at him, utterly bewildered.

It seemed that it hadn't expected that after all its attacks, the other party was completely unharmed. How was this possible? It was like seeing a ghost.

Immediately following.

Lin Fan, as if executing a combination punch, slammed another fist into the demon's head.

Although there was no earth-shattering, terrifying aura when he punched, from the demon's perspective, the fist in its pupils gradually enlarged, unavoidable.

With a single punch, the demon's head was shattered.

Outside.

Ha Lin waited anxiously. He didn't know what had happened, but just now, he had sensed a burst of terrifying power.

At this moment.

A figure emerged from the dust.

Ha Lin gaped, utterly shocked.

Lin Fan walked over to Ha Lin and patted his head. "Let's go."

"Ah... Oh." Ha Lin reacted and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Bai, where's the demon?"

"Dead."

"Ah, just like that?"

"Yes, that's right."

Ha Lin looked back at the place where the dust was still thick, unable to believe it. He counted on his fingers. How long had it been? That was a terrifying demon almost at the Void Spirit Realm!

Not to mention anything else.

Even if a real battle had occurred, it would have caused the heavens and earth to crack. How could it be so easy?

Lin Fan seemed to remember something and said softly, "Don't tell anyone. Let's pretend it never happened, okay?"

"Oh." Ha Lin replied, then followed up, "Uncle Bai, do you not like others knowing how powerful you are?"

"Yes, I want to read in peace," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Ha Lin said, "But there are so many books in the Scripture Library. I don't know when you'll finish reading them all."

"So don't rush. Take your time. Eventually, you'll finish them all."
