"Boom boom boom——"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice saying, "Hello, your takeout is here!"
Enraged by the sound, the uneasy Lin Tianhu pounded his cane violently and cursed loudly:
"Takeout? Who the hell ordered takeout! Whoever ordered takeout at a time like this, come out here!"
Zhan Shilong took Lin Tianhu's hand and smiled:
"Sir, please don't be agitated. You ordered it yourself. Did you forget that you said you were hungry and wanted to treat me to our abalone Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"
Lin Tianhu was taken aback, his old face flushed red: "Look at me, I'm getting old and forgetful, please excuse me."
Zhan Shilong smiled calmly. Lin Tianhu was truly frightened, but with him there, there was nothing to worry about.
The person outside called out, "I left it at your door!"
"Go and bring the takeout in!"
Zhan Shilong called a Lingfeng Sect disciple to pick up the takeout and to check the situation at the entrance.
One minute later, the disciple entered the room with the takeout:
"Sect Master, there's nothing unusual outside. The deliveryman has already left."
Lin Tianhu pointed at the takeout and laughed, "Come on, bro, try this place's abalone Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, it's absolutely delicious!"
Several younger members of the Lin family stepped forward to open the takeout and give it to Zhan Shilong.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Zhan Shilong stopped the younger members of the Lin family from their actions: "Quiet!"
Everyone was shocked and froze, not daring to make a sound.
The villa's living room was eerily quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The ticking of a clock came from the takeout box.
"Damn! Watch out, there's a bomb."
Zhan Shilong shouted and took out a talisman from his pocket, sticking it on the blade of the sword.
He then brandished the sword, chanting incantations:
“临、兵、斗、者、皆、阵、列、前、行”
"The one who approaches remains as immovable as a mountain, the one who fights moves as swiftly as the wind, the one who battles has a surge of fighting spirit, and I can draw upon the spiritual power of all things!"
"Resolve confusion, understand people's hearts, break down obstacles, and bring all things to harmony!"
"All transformations unite, break!"
Zhan Shilong gritted his teeth, sweating profusely, and pointed the sword at the takeout box.
Suddenly, a golden light surged from the sword's edge, enveloping the takeout food and forming a barrier.
A few seconds later, a muffled thud was heard, and golden light exploded.
"Phew, it's all over!" Zhan Shilong took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Lin Tianhu and his group were completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
A moment later, everyone noticed that the takeout food had been blown to pieces, and there were still bomb fragments inside.
They then realized that Zhan Shilong had used his powers to protect them.
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Lin Tianhu was overjoyed, and after witnessing Zhan Shilong's ultimate move, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
With such a divine help, what is there to fear!
"Don't be surprised, this is a technique for those in the Transcendent Realm. You can use it when you reach the Transcendent Realm," Zhan Shilong said with a smile.
"As expected of the sect leader! If this bomb explodes, we'll all be doomed."
"Yes, thankfully the sect leader is incredibly powerful."
The disciples of Lingfeng Sect were abuzz with discussion. This was the first time they had witnessed Zhan Shilong's strength, and their respect for their sect leader had only grown stronger.
At that moment, a pair of eyes were peering through the window, watching the situation inside the room.
Lin Fan smiled. Zhan Shilong was using the art of escape, the Golden Light Shield.
The art of escape does not require spiritual energy, but it does require the use of tools, so it cannot be said to have any power.
In the Nine Netherworlds, only those without spiritual roots learn the art of escape and concealment in order to gain some ability to protect themselves.
Those with spiritual roots all cultivate martial arts. The power of martial arts techniques far surpasses that of escape techniques, and these techniques do not require props or guiding words.
The lengthy incantation used to perform the art of escape will be shortened depending on the practitioner's skill level.
Powerful martial artists can even use the art of escape techniques without needing any incantations, releasing it instantly.
Lin Fan thought to himself that Zhan Shilong's props must have been left behind by the people of the Nine Netherworld.
It seems that in the modern world, not only martial arts can be passed down, but the art of escape and formation can also be passed down.
Moreover, given that spiritual energy cannot be used in the present world, those who know the art of escape have an even greater advantage.
However, Lin Fan doesn't need to worry. He has the Mysterious Steps that he can perform without spiritual energy, and he also has the support of his Heavenly Eye.
Even the strongest magic armor wouldn't be a match for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan planted the bombs simply as a precaution, to check if there were any experts inside the villa, fearing he might be no match for them again.
He first gathered everyone in the living room by attempting an assassination.
They then used a bomb to test the enemy's strength, and only after learning that the room was full of Muggles did they feel relieved.
Excessive caution.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland.

At this moment, Lin Tianhu and the others inside the house were extremely excited.
Suddenly, Lin Fan burst through the door.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on the Lin family's villa in this mountain city!"
Everyone inside the room looked terrified. The five Lingfeng Sect experts in front of the door had actually been knocked to the ground.
"Were you sent by Lin Jianzhi?" Lin Tianhu stopped smiling and sat up straight.
The Lin family members also became alert, and the disciples of Lingfeng Sect stood in front, ready to take action at any moment.
Lin Fan shook his head: "I am Lin Jianzhi. Haven't you always wanted to see me?"
Lin Tianhu sneered and gave Zhan Shilong a look.
Zhan Shilong nodded slightly, waved his hand, and several Lingfeng Sect disciples rushed straight towards Lin Fan.
Zhan Shilong's tone left no room for argument: "This man is a spy sent by Lin Jianzhi to scout the situation. There's no need to say anything more to him, just kill him and offer him as a sacrifice!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Shilong regretted what he had said.
He felt a suffocating sensation, and before he knew it, the man was in front of him, gripping his throat tightly.
There's a distance of at least 10 meters from the entrance to here. What exactly happened?
Zhan Shilong could no longer think; his brain was severely oxygen-deprived, and his eyes rolled back.
The Lingfeng Sect disciples who rushed out stood frozen in place, wondering when the people who had come had disappeared.
When they turned around, they found that the man was actually choking the sect leader.
"Sect Master!" exclaimed a disciple of Lingfeng Sect.
Lin Fan turned his head slightly and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
After several gunshots, all the Lingfeng Sect disciples who had been shouting were killed.
"Lin Tianhu, do you believe me now?"
Lin Fan looked at Lin Tianhu, then with a slight twist of his hand, snapped Zhan Shilong's neck and threw it aside.
Lin Tianhu hadn't even realized what had happened. One second he was still immersed in Zhan Shilong's terrifying strength, and the next second Zhan Shilong was dead.
He died under mysterious circumstances. Who was the person who came? Why did they suddenly appear in front of Zhan Shilong? Why was Zhan Shilong powerless to fight back?
All of this was completely beyond Lin Tianlong's comprehension, and beyond the comprehension of everyone present.
Lin Fan looked at the stunned crowd and sneered:
"Stop thinking about it. We're not on the same level. You should save your brains for a few last words."
One sentence sent chills down the spines of everyone in the room.
Lin Tianhu trembled uncontrollably: "Who, who exactly are you?"
“I am Lin Jianzhi, the president of Shancheng Group, the person you want to kill.”
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he found Li Hui in the crowd and killed him instantly.
Lin Tianhu said in a daze, "Impossible, this is impossible, how could you, a bastard, possibly defeat the Sect Master of Lingfeng Sect?"
Seeing that things were not going well, someone tried to take the opportunity to slip away, but before they could take a step, Lin Fan raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
With a thud, the person collapsed at the doorway.
"Stay put and behave yourselves, none of you will escape."
