Chapter 22 Duel
Whoosh!
Lin Fan shot the arrow armed in his bow at Housekeeper Lee.
Thud!
Housekeeper Lee didn't even dodge and let the arrow land in his left arm.
"Grr..." Housekeeper Lee growled loudly at Lin Fan.
He used his right hand and yanked the arrow from his left arm.
The arrow, with its inverted triangle shape, tore out a chunk of meat from the arm.
Housekeeper Lee didn't even flinch, as if he couldn't feel any pain.
He took the arrow and threw it at Lin Fan.
Whoosh!
The arrow came at Lin Fan with incredible speed.
What inhuman strength.
Lin Fan, with his level 3 physique, could clearly see the arrow coming; from a tiny dot, it slowly became the familiar tip of the arrow.
Clank.
Lin Fan swiped away the arrow with his axe.
By this time, Housekeeper Lee was now two steps away from Lin Fan.
Housekeeper Lee punched at Lin Fan's face.
To Lin Fan's surprise, Housekeeper Lee's fist had a black aura or dark force around it.
Unsure of what the dark force could do, Lin Fan delivered a front kick with his Magnificent Leap, but it only made Housekeeper Lee take a few steps back.
Housekeeper Lee steadied himself and came at Lin Fan with a side punch to Lin Fan's waist.
Lin Fan blocked with his arm.
Thud!
Even with Lin Fan's level three physique, Lin Fan stepped to the side to absorb the force of the impact.
Lin Fan felt the dark force penetrating through his skin and flesh, all the way into his bones.
It sent chills wherever the dark force burrowed in his arm.
Housekeeper Lee had used some form of technique.
But where had he learned to do so, and how, in such a short period of time?
Lin Fan didn't have the luxury to think further.
In the next moment, Housekeeper Lee punched at his face again.
Lin Fan drew his axe and hacked it at Housekeeper Lee's fist.
The axe didn't do any damage and its handle broke.
The top part of the axe flew away into the distance.
Are cultivators as powerful as Housekeeper Lee, Lin Fan thought.
The only thing he was sure of was that those behind Housekeeper Lee were now desperate.
He had better report to the village head about what happened.
But before that, time to salvage and reuse.
He came up next to Housekeeper Lee's body.
The body had such a stench that Lin Fan nearly puked.
Pus, blood, and saliva.
All the myriad smells mixing together formed a nasty, putrid smell.
Lin Fan used his fingers to cover his nostrils and rummaged through the body.
He found a few strings of copper coins, a few pieces of silver bits, and the familiar wooden slab with the lotus carving.
Other than that, nothing else.
No clues as to how he got so powerful.
Tolerating the stench, Lin Fan carried the body over to the woods.
He made sure the beasts dragged Housekeeper Lee's body away before making his way back to the village.
Back in the village, Lin Fan headed straight over to the village head's house.
When he entered, Ho Fu was having dinner and Ho Ming was in a lotus position, meditating.
Or at least, pretending to be.
Ho Ming opened one of his eyes and peeped at Lin Fan when he saw Lin Fan enter.
He quickly stood up and greeted Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, are you here for dinner?" Ho Ming walked to the side of Lin Fan, patted him on his back and said.
"Who said you could stop?" Ho Fu stood up and tried to use his pipe to whack Ho Ming.
Ho Ming looked at Lin Fan with a pleading expression.
Seeing Ho Ming's plight, Lin Fan blocked the village head's pipe and said, "Village head, I have something important to report."
Ho Fu stopped and asked, "What's it about?"
At the same time, Ho Ming silently walked away, clasped his hands together as a gesture of appreciation to Lin Fan.
He then tiptoed away and scurried into his bedroom.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ho Fu noticed Ho Ming trying to get away.
He turned and yelled at him, 'Hmph! Useless fool. All this training is for your own good.
Lin Fan didn't let Ho Fu drone on; he quickly said, "Housekeeper Lee attacked me on my way back."
"Are you hurt? Where's Housekeeper Lee now?" Ho Fu asked and took a puff from his pipe.
"He fled away. But during our fight, he dropped this," Lin Fan handed the wooden slab over to the village head.
"Hmm. This is bad. Let the Constable investigate tomorrow when they come."
