Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 276 – Not bad, we must not kill innocent people indiscriminately

Sneak attack on Ni Feng?

Yang Yuqi was stunned when she heard this. It was an idea she would never have dreamed of, but it came out of Meng Fan's mouth.

"Isn't that... not very honorable?" she said nervously.

Meng Fan, however, dismissed her concerns. "What's wrong with it? Isn't Ni Feng the one who killed your father? If you want revenge, does it matter whether the means are honorable or not?"

Yang Yuqi cautiously replied, "Senior Brother Meng, it's not that I have any sympathy for Ni Feng, but I'm worried about you. Even if you launch a sneak attack, given Ni Feng's strength, I don't think it will affect him much. Instead, you might get hurt!"

An egg attacking a stone?

Is that really a good idea?

Even if the stone is battered and immobile, what good does it do?

In the end, wouldn't it just be a waste of effort?

Meng Fan sighed. Yang Yuqi did have a point.

In any situation, attacking a stone with an egg is unwise.

Just as Meng Fan was about to wait patiently for Elder Lin to finish, someone from Dragon Guardian Manor decided not to play fair.

If Meng Fan could think of sneaking up on Ni Feng, the people from Dragon Guardian Manor could naturally think of sneaking up on Elder Lin.

So, while Meng Fan abandoned the idea of attacking Ni Feng, the people from Dragon Guardian Manor did not.

A middle-aged man in a black robe, holding a blazing spiritual sword, transformed into a streak of light and slashed towards Elder Lin.

Seeing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but admire the courage of this Dragon Guardian Manor disciple.

He had just considered attacking Ni Feng from a distance, but he would have kept himself far away.

But this guy from Dragon Guardian Manor charged in with both himself and his sword...

That was true bravery!

Admirable courage.

However, just as the man was about a foot away from Elder Lin, he and his sword were both reduced to dust, leaving no trace behind!

Turning a person's body into dust was not difficult; Meng Fan could easily do it.

But turning a spiritual sword into dust was much harder, something Meng Fan couldn't achieve with his current strength!

"You were right; my idea of sneaking up on Ni Feng was indeed foolish," Meng Fan turned and said to Yang Yuqi with a smile.

That smile made Yang Yuqi blush and her heart race.

To be honest, with Meng Fan's looks, even if he didn't have the talent for Sword Dao Transcendence, he could still make a name for himself in the cultivation world.

Though it might be a bit tough to rely on his looks alone.

But if Meng Fan had acted impulsively just now, even if he had attacked Ni Feng from a distance, the outcome wouldn't have been good.

These top-tier figures were not ones he could recklessly provoke.

A slight misstep could lead to death...

Then, seeing that they couldn't deal with Elder Lin, some people from Dragon Guardian Manor turned their attention to Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi.

In an instant, three black-robed disciples from Dragon Guardian Manor charged at Meng Fan with their swords.

Meng Fan's expression turned serious, filled with tension and a hint of worry between his brows.

It wasn't that he was scared; it was just that he couldn't win this fight!

Because he couldn't see through the cultivation levels of the three black-robed men.

Yet their auras were terrifying, far beyond the Condensation Pill Realm.

If Meng Fan guessed correctly, these three were at least at the Summoning God Realm.

If they were at the Condensation Pill Realm, Meng Fan could still grit his teeth and fight with all his might.

But three cultivators suspected to be at the Summoning God Realm? No way!

One touch and he'd be shattered!

After all, he was still at the Heavenly Origin Realm, not having stepped into the Condensation Pill Realm.

Under normal circumstances, Meng Fan wouldn't encounter such enemies.

Even if he did, he wouldn't provoke them.

But this time was different; he came with Elder Lin, feeling confident.

Moreover, these people weren't his enemies; they were Elder Lin's.

And Yang Yuqi's.

Just as the three men attacked Meng Fan, Elder Lin opened his eyes, ready to intervene. At the same time, Ni Feng also opened his eyes.

"Stop!!" Ni Feng shouted at the three men.

Hearing this, the three immediately stopped and ceased their attack on Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi.

"Master..." they retreated behind Ni Feng and saluted him.

It seemed as if Ni Feng had saved Meng Fan.

But in reality, he had saved his three men from Dragon Guardian Manor.

Otherwise, they would have already died at Elder Lin's hands.

"Elder Lin, shall we call it a day?" Ni Feng said seriously, looking at Elder Lin.

"If we continue to fight, even if we decide the winner, it will be a Pyrrhic victory.

Perhaps a few more disciples from Dragon Guardian Manor will die, but this young man and Princess Yuqi will also die here!

I don't think that's what you want to see!"

Elder Lin looked at Ni Feng, his gaze icy, and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Ni Feng shook his head. "It's not a threat, just a reminder."

Elder Lin was indeed angry at this moment, filled with rage.

If he had come alone, he would have fought Ni Feng to the death.

But he had brought Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi along, feeling overly confident.

He hadn't taken Ni Feng seriously, thinking he could easily kill him while protecting Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi.

But Ni Feng was much stronger than he had anticipated.

His strength was almost on par with Elder Lin's!

In this situation, it was difficult for Elder Lin to kill Ni Feng while protecting Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi.

Ni Feng continued, "Given my status and strength, even if I had killed Yang Tianxu, I wouldn't be afraid to admit it.

My denial proves that Yang Tianxu's death has nothing to do with me!

If you insist on opposing me, it will only benefit the real culprit.

If I were you, I would first find out the truth."

His words were highly persuasive.

Combined with his earlier "threat," it was a perfect mix of hard and soft tactics.

Ni Feng, after all, was Lord Eternal Night. At his level, neither his cultivation nor his eloquence would be weak!

Elder Lin was indeed convinced.

"Let's go!"

Elder Lin said tersely, grabbing Meng Fan and Yang Yuqi and disappearing from Dragon Guardian Manor in a flash.

To be honest, Elder Lin felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

The mission had not gone well, and he had lost face in front of his juniors.

Although the fight with Ni Feng was a draw, with Elder Lin slightly having the upper hand, it was still embarrassing for him.

"Master, I think Ni Feng was right. Even if we want to kill someone, we should first find out the truth. After all, our Shu Mountain Sword Sect is a righteous sect; we don't kill the innocent!"

Meng Fan, knowing Elder Lin well, quickly gave him a way out to ease his embarrassment.

Sure enough, Elder Lin nodded in agreement.

"You're right. Our Shu Mountain Sword Sect doesn't kill the innocent. We must find out the truth before taking action."
