Upon hearing Lin Kaiwei's words, a hint of despair appeared in Han Ying's eyes.

Indeed, the corpse of the Li Dragon and the traces left by this battle are the most compelling evidence. Regardless of Lin Kaiwei's initial purpose in coming to the Broken Dragon Cliff, the fact that he stayed and helped kill the Li Dragon is indisputable.

As long as there are no other survivors, anyone coming to investigate can only believe Lin Kaiwei's account!

She had given everything she had but ultimately could not stop Lin Kaiwei from silencing the witnesses. Not only herself but even the life of her student, Wang Xin, could not be secured. This outcome is truly despairing.

"Fourth Uncle, spare her life!"

Suddenly, Lin Yong also knelt on the ground, speaking gravely, "Wang Junze is already dead, and Bin Qiang's revenge has been fulfilled. Letting her go won't affect the bigger picture! She can swear a deadly oath not to divulge today's events... Wang Junze saved my life once, and I promised to keep his sister safe... Please, Fourth Uncle, spare her life!"

"What did you say?" Lin Kaiwei erupted with anger upon hearing Lin Yong's words, yelling furiously, "Yong'er, do you know what you're saying? Spare her? What if she grows strong enough to seek revenge on me and the Lin Family?"

"Mercy!"

His eyes flashed with intense killing intent as Lin Kaiwei reprimanded again, "Saving your life? Wang Junze was only trying to use you to break through. Didn't I also join forces with them to encircle and kill the Li Dragon? Why don't they think I saved their lives?"

"Remember this, the world only judges heroes by their successes or failures! The ones who survive are the victors; everything else is meaningless!"

"So... before, Fourth Uncle, would you abandon even me for survival?" Looking up, Lin Yong met Lin Kaiwei's gaze and calmly asked.

"..."

That sentence made Lin Kaiwei falter momentarily, and then his eyes again showed a hint of cold killing intent.

Yes, earlier when he fled the Broken Dragon Cliff, he had abandoned Lin Yong, his nephew, but he didn't expect to be forced back by Jing Yuan and those deserters.

This matter would have passed if Lin Yong hadn't mentioned it, but now that it was brought up, he also birthed the urge to kill his nephew.

A nephew, after all, is not a son, and leaving behind someone who harbors resentment toward him may not be beneficial.

"Does Fourth Uncle intend to kill even me?"

Lin Yong seemed to see through Lin Kaiwei's intentions but continued speaking: "If that's the case, then please, Fourth Uncle, act; I've lost an arm, and even if I survive, I'm just a cripple."

With a self-deprecating smile, Lin Yong spoke softly, "If Fourth Uncle is willing to trust me, please spare Wang Xin. I promise to seal my lips about today's events; otherwise… please kill me along with her!"

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

With venom in his eyes, Lin Kaiwei said coldly, "How could the Lin Family have such sentimental fools like you? Since you are so determined, I'll grant your wish!"

"You can die together!"

As the words fell, Lin Kaiwei suddenly drew his sword, furiously slashing toward Lin Yong and Wang Xin together!

"Kill!"

Hatred flickered in his eyes as Wang Xin also drew her blade, fiercely facing Lin Kaiwei.

Despite knowing her current state makes her inferior, Wang Xin certainly would not sit and await death.

Bang!

In an instant, the clash of sword and blade sent Wang Xin flying, spurting blood, as she tumbled toward the Li Dragon.

On the other side, Lin Yong, weaker in strength, had no room for resistance, being cut down, his sword breaking in two, rolling dozens of meters away like a gourd, blood spraying furiously.

Without even glancing at Lin Yong, Lin Kaiwei held his sword and walked step by step toward Wang Xin.

"An ant trying to stop the cart!"

With a cold smile, Lin Kaiwei continued, "Clearly, you have a chance to escape, yet you return here to die like your idiotic brother. You fools deserve to die!"

"People like you will never understand that there are things in this world more important than your own life!"

Wiping the blood from her mouth, Wang Xin replied coldly, "Aren't you going to kill me? Come on! Even if I die, I won't let you have it easy. Do you really think you can kill me so easily?"

At this moment, Wang Xin's eyes also showed a hint of determination!

Her brother and master were dead, now only she remained, and she didn't intend to live alone. Risking her life, she might be able to heavily injure Lin Kaiwei.

Although there was a significant gap between Condensing Truth and Refining Spirit, it wasn't completely insurmountable.

At her peak, Wang Xin could even kill some of the weakest Refining Spirit Martial Artists!

Though Lin Kaiwei's strength was indeed greater than average Refining Spirit, since they were all wounded by the Li Dragon, if she couldn't triumph, she would at least make Lin Kaiwei pay a price.

"Haha, risking your life?"

Upon hearing that, Lin Kaiwei opened his mouth contemptuously, "If not for the Li Dragon, I wouldn't even bother risking my life with you. Killing someone like you isn't worth it! But now that the Li Dragon's corpse is here, I can recover heavy injuries by consuming its Inner Core! Would I be afraid of fighting you to the death?"

"Follow your dead brother and master on the road!"

As he spoke, Lin Kaiwei fiercely swung his sword at Wang Xin again, even resorting to burning his Divine Soul for a desperate strike, leaving no room for retreat.
