Gazing at the sudden palm strike, Brother Zhong quickly dodged, daring not to withstand it directly.

He felt that the strength on the opponent's palm was far beyond his own realm, making resistance futile; he could only evade.

When someone suddenly appeared behind her, Xiao Lian shivered in fright. She initially thought it was some kind of ghost, only to realize it was her sister-in-law, Xiao Fang.

Seeing Xiao Fang showing off her skills for the first time, she was shocked. The kidnapper who didn't even fear her brother now feared the relatively weaker Xiao Fang, indicating Xiao Fang was more formidable than her brother.

Now, recalling how those kidnappers had suddenly fallen dead, she shuddered, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps.

Now, she finally had a new understanding of her shy and delicate sister-in-law; when Xiao Fang got ruthless, she was merciless and decisive in killing.

Elsewhere, upon seeing Xiao Fang intervene, Lin Yifan finally exhaled in relief.

As long as Brother Zhong was intercepted, everything else would be manageable.

So, the next moment, he quickly adjusted his body and dashed out, launching an attack on Brother Zhong.

With the powerful Xiao Fang blocking in front of Xiao Lian, and the extraordinary Lin Yifan attacking from behind, Brother Zhong realized his scheme to kidnap Xiao Lian and flee Guiyuan City was no longer feasible. He immediately used his Qinggong to fly out of the pavilion and into the woods, making a swift escape.

"Think you can escape? No way!"

Having harbored a killing intent, Xiao Fang was not going to let this threat to Lin Yifan get away. The next moment, she employed "Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong to pursue him.

"Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong was among the fastest Qinggong techniques, and Brother Zhong's Qinggong was far inferior. Coupled with his lower realm, he was quickly overtaken by Xiao Fang.

"Damn it! How could there be such a powerful woman? Uncle never mentioned such a formidable person around that bastard!"

Brother Zhong felt he had been tricked, blaming Tian Ji, that deceiving man, for not fully understanding the enemy, which now put his own life at risk.

"That hateful toad, I really want to slice him with a sword," thought Brother Zhong, filled with indignant rage.

Tian Ji often brought trouble to the Tian Family, more often failing than succeeding; if not for the backing of his uncle, he would likely have been abandoned by the Tian Family ages ago.

So, for such a failure, he truly felt there was no need to keep him around.

Though that was his thought, ensuring his own safety was now the utmost importance; other matters could wait.

However, in terms of realm, he was not as high as Xiao Fang; in terms of martial arts, he was not as strong; hence, ensuring his safety became quite challenging.

So, the next moment, he had no choice but to slow down and start dodging.

"Boom!"

After dodging a strike from Xiao Fang, he continued to weave through the dense forest, constantly on the run.

Xiao Fang persistently pursued, vowing to kill Brother Zhong.

Seconds later, arriving behind Brother Zhong, she delivered another fierce palm strike.

Brother Zhong leapt again, evading her attack.

But this time, Brother Zhong faced some trouble as his clothes caught on the brambles in the jungle, slowing him down significantly; this provided Xiao Fang with an excellent opportunity to strike.

So, the next moment, Xiao Fang delivered another palm strike.

This time, Brother Zhong no longer dodged but took the hit head-on.

In fact, he couldn't avoid it anymore and could only confront it directly; if he had let it go and allowed Xiao Fang to attack, it would have been even worse.

"Bang!"

After taking a palm strike, he immediately felt a tumultuous surge in his blood sea, and then he couldn't hold back anymore and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was injured, severely injured, and could no longer run away.

"Damn it, Tian Ji, you good-for-nothing, always screwing over us people from Lushan Sect, today even if I go to Hell, I won't let you go." Brother Zhong cursed in pain, his heart filled with hatred towards Tian Ji.

If it weren't for this screw-up, he could have hooked up with a lady and continued enjoying the pleasure of city life. Now, all his beautiful dreams had burst like bubbles.

After a deep and wicked path, he closed his eyes and cried out in despair, "Come on! Give me a swift and satisfying blow."

He had no way out, so he had no choice but to give up struggling.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless, blame yourselves for offending someone you shouldn't have." After saying that, Xiao Fang struck a palm towards Brother Zhong's crown.

Immediately, Brother Zhong fell to the ground with a thud.

With that, all of Tian Family's guards who had tried to coerce and assassinate Lin Yifan were dead, not one was left, truly a journey of no return.

Meanwhile, while Xiao Fang was chasing after Brother Zhong, Lin Yifan anxiously walked over, untied the ropes binding Xiao Lian, and then carefully peeled off the tape stuck on Xiao Lian's mouth.

The tape had stuck to Xiao Lian's skin, and forcibly removing it would cause her tremendous pain, so the experienced Lin Yifan carefully, bit by bit, peeled off the white tape from Xiao Lian's mouth.

After all the tape was removed from her mouth, Xiao Lian plunged into Lin Yifan's arms and burst into tears.

From the moment of her capture, every single second she was anxious and terrified, truly afraid no one would come to rescue her, truly afraid she was going to vanish from this world.

Along with the terror, there was also deep emotion.

The scene of Lin Yifan risking his life to save her was still vivid in her mind. She would never forget this affection.

"Alright! Stop crying, it's all over now," Lin Yifan continued to soothe.

"Brother! Why are you so foolish? Why risk your life to save me?" Xiao Lian asked amid sobs.

"Xiao Lian, you are my own sister! How could I just watch you get killed by the bad guys?" Lin Yifan countered.

"But didn't you think that even if you sacrificed your life, you might still not have been able to save me?" Xiao Lian retorted.

"I only knew that if I didn't do it, I really couldn't have saved you," Lin Yifan responded.

"Fool! Fool! You big fool!" Xiao Lian kept scolding, yet her heart was overwhelmed with emotion.

Just then, Xiao Fang, having dealt with Brother Zhong, returned and saw the two siblings embracing tightly. Somehow, she felt a bit concerned. Such closeness was too intimate, she could accept it if it were Zhou Jiajia or others, but with Xiao Lian, she found it a bit hard to accept, after all, Xiao Lian and Lin Yifan were not lovers and shouldn't be so close.

However, she could understand this behavior. Because Xiao Lian must still have some trauma, that fear couldn't just be waved away.

So, to comfort Xiao Lian and provide her warmth, she also came over and embraced Xiao Lian, then said, "Don't be afraid, the bad guys have all been killed by your sister-in-law, you're safe now."

The trio's gesture felt a bit odd, Xiao Lian seemed like the daughter of Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang, sandwiched between them, cared for and protected.
