Chapter 93: Blazing Fire Burns the Enemy
When the dwarf said he was from the Ye Family, he couldn’t help but puff out his chest, as if suddenly he had a backing. His tone grew more confident, showing he was very proud of the reputation of the Ye Family from Qin Ye Ridge.
Seeing the dwarf’s courage suddenly swell, Han Li knew that the Qin Ye Ridge Ye Family must be a renowned immortal cultivator clan.
However, since this person was so panicked at the start despite having such a powerful family as support, it meant either he was lying or he was an insignificant pawn within the family whose life or death no one cared about.
In a short time, Han Li made his judgment and concluded that eliminating this opponent would not bring much trouble later on.
This deduction completely dispelled the last lingering doubts in Han Li’s mind, and his murderous intent grew stronger.
After all, an immortal cultivator whose magical power was inferior to his own and who acted so foolishly was a rare sight! Even without this deathmatch, Han Li would never let such a gift of prey escape. And judging by the dwarf’s words and actions, he was no kind soul, so Han Li had no hesitation about attacking.
“Qin Ye Ridge Ye Family? That famous Ye Family?” Han Li looked surprised, as if unwilling to believe it.
Since the other dared to rely on that name, it must mean he had considerable prestige among immortal cultivators, Han Li thought to himself.
“That’s right, it’s that Ye Family. Since brother knows the name, I hope you won’t deliberately make things difficult for me!” The dwarf, seeing how well his brand name worked, immediately spoke louder.
“Ye Family?...” Han Li pretended to hesitate, scratching his head awkwardly, displaying the look of someone unable to make a decision.
The dwarf saw this and secretly rejoiced, immediately pleading and threatening at the same time, banging the nearby drum noisily, fearing the situation might turn against him.
“How about this, I take you to meet the elders of your clan and let them decide how to deal with you, brother?” Han Li said, sounding a little troubled.
“No need to trouble the elders! This is just a small matter. If you let the elders handle such trivial things, it might leave a bad impression and negatively affect your future,” the dwarf said, startled by Han Li's words, quickly putting on a concerned expression and trying to dissuade him.
At this moment, Master Golden Light completely regarded Han Li as an inexperienced young lad. He thought Han Li was a disciple who had been secluded in the family’s cultivation for years and had only recently ventured into the secular world to refine himself, which explained why Han Li had such profound magical power at a young age.
“Thank you for the reminder, brother!” Han Li acted very touched. After a moment of thought, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a talisman painted with a small sword.
“As this is our first meeting and you have been so considerate, I’ll return this treasure to you!” Han Li said sincerely, a hint of reluctance in his expression.
The dwarf was overjoyed. He never expected the young man before him to be so naive as to give back a treasure he had just received.
Without thinking twice, fearing Han Li would change his mind, he hurriedly made a hand seal and waved his hand. The golden shield on his body immediately shattered and disappeared. Then he stretched out his hand eagerly to grab the talisman, shamelessly saying, “Since you are so sincere, I won’t refuse!”
Seeing the dwarf’s hand about to seize the talisman, Han Li’s expression suddenly changed drastically. Staring behind the dwarf, he shouted in shock, “Clan chief, how did you personally come!”
The dwarf trembled at these words, too scared to care about the treasure, and quickly turned around.
But he was stunned—behind him was silent and empty, no one in sight.
“Not good!” Even someone as foolish as the dwarf now realized he had been tricked. Before he could turn fully, he felt a sudden heat on his chest. His eyes turned fiery red as his body burst into flames. In the blink of an eye, the dwarf was reduced to ashes in the raging fire.
