NOVEL NEXT Chapter 152: Tattoos
Gong!
Gong!
Gong!
A gong sounded, breaking the silence of the night.
All the threats were defeated at the three points.
The villagers celebrated and swarmed around Ho Ming and Zhang Xi.
When they saw those from the path leading to the mountains come back, they were curious that Lin Fan was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is the other young man?"
Some of them asked.
Worried that the worst had befallen Lin Fan.
They turned, looked at Ho Ming and Zhang Xi, feeling guilty that they might have caused their friend to perish.
"What are you thinking? The young man went on to finish off the Yi Tribe's village head."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
After what they'd witnessed from Lin Fan, these other villagers were worrying over nothing.
Just as he had earlier.
Lin Fan being so young could be deceiving.
"Don't worry about him. He is much more powerful than me," Ho Ming said as he shrugged his shoulders.
Zhang Xi also nodded her head.
Both of them quickly organized the villagers to stay alert.
In case the rebels had other plans up their sleeves.
…
As Lin Fan went further into the mountains, he could feel the night air becoming colder.
When he reached the huts around the area that Old Heng had pointed out to him, the rebels were on high alert.
There were guards with spears and arrows at strategic locations.
He activated his Sound Memory ability, trying to listen for any valuable information.
First, he heard the guards asking why the other rebels took so long to come back.
As his focus went further in, he heard screams of women, presumably abducted from the village.
Finally, he pinpointed where the village head was.

"Envoy, I've followed the instructions of General Tan. When can we get the promised rewards?"
The village head was conversing with someone.
The person replied, "Be patient. You've got more work to be done. Taking down Gui An village took you too long."
"My warriors are trying their best. Cultivators have arrived to provide help, and my warriors might face difficulties."
Just as Lin Fan had thought, the turmoil in the land was agitated by Tan Xiao Yao, trying to weaken the Quan Dynasty.
Lin Fan readied himself as he bent his knees and then leaped into the air.
Boom.
When he was in the air, he stepped on the air again like a wall, and he shot down like a meteor.
Using the Chain Leap ability, he crashed and landed in the village head's hut.
"Who are you?" The village head pointed at Lin Fan.
He was an old man with blackened teeth and tattoos that looked like scriptures all over his body.
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 150 vengeance points.]
The other man, who was middle-aged, had small eyes and a beard.
He drew out his broad sword and lunged at Lin Fan.
The familiar sound erupted again.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 150 vengeance points.]
Lin Fan, who had been empty-handed, suddenly had two hammers in his hands.
When Small Eyes' sword came closer to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan held up his hammers and banged them together.
Dang!
A loud 'dang' reverberated in the air.
Causing everyone to hold onto their heads.
Lin Fan's Qi was getting into their heads.
Like a drill, slowly drilling and inching into their skulls.
Clank.
Small Eyes dropped his broad sword as he used his hands to try to cover his ears.
It was too much for him that he knelt down.
Lin Fan then went over and smashed one of his hammer down onto Small Eyes' head.
To Lin Fan's surprise, a white glow emitted from underneath Small Eyes' robe.
Forming a shield around Small Eyes.
Lin Fan reduced his strength on the hammer as he wanted to see what was the white glow about.
Whomp.
The white glow absorbed the impact from Lin Fan's hammer.
By now the village head had composed himself, and he quickly went at Lin Fan with his fist.
His tattoo glowed with an orange glow.
When his fist broke through the air, a roar that sounded like a tiger could be heard.
Lin Fan didn't dodge.
When the fist came closer, Lin Fan turned into a shadow and the village head went through it.
Stumbling onto Small Eyes.
Now that Lin Fan was behind the village head, he kept his hammers and with his Primordial Qi Claws, thrust them at the village head's back.
The tattoos at the back of the village head glowed, and something like a turtle shell appeared.
But it wasn't enough to stop Lin Fan.
His Primordial Claws went through it like a knife cutting tofu.
Splatter.
The village head went limp, and his blood splattered onto Small Eyes.
Lin Fan drew out his hands and threw the village head's body to the side.
He flicked his hands, trying to get rid of the blood on them.
When Lin Fan saw Small Eyes trying to get up, he went in with his primordial claws at Small Eyes' neck.
The white glow appeared again.
Now that Lin Fan was closer, he could see that Small Eyes was wearing armor that had plates of steel with scriptures on them.
The shield formed by the white glow was a protective effect from the armor.
This time it wasn't good enough for Lin Fan's Primordial Qi Claws.
His claws sliced through it and plunged into Small Eyes' neck.
Small Eyes grabbed onto Lin Fan's wrist, trying to get Lin Fan's claws out of his neck.
But Lin Fan didn't even budge a single inch.
Slowly Small Eyes stopped his struggle and his hands dropped to the ground.
A familiar sound then erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 300.]
[Current Vengeance Points: 1760]
Finally, Lin Fan thought as he saw the vengeance points he had.
He quickly rummaged through the belongings of Small Eyes and the village head to find anything valuable.
Small Eyes had a letter on him and three taels of silver.
Lin Fan couldn't find anything useful on the village head, but he was intrigued by the village head's tattoos.
It was like his Beast Abilities.
He tried to look for manuscripts on that inside the village head's room.
But there was nothing of that sort.
Soon, he heard men approaching as they shouted.
Lin Fan wasn't interested in them; they were so weak that the system didn't consider them a threat.
Boom!
Lin Fan quickly leaped up into the air again.
And with a second leap, he got out of the village and landed in the woods.
He then ran back toward Gui An village.
