The most crucial thing was that he feared the knife might be poisoned; if that were the case, it would spell trouble.

"Were you sent by Zhao Ritian?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.

"You injured my younger brother and destroyed our Little Knife Club's branch in the East City District; this debt will have to be settled sooner or later," Poisonous Scorpion replied indifferently.

"Oh! I see." Lin Yifan realized, then said, "If that's the case, let those idiots come at me; it's been a long time since I've had a good stretch."

"Hmph! Your mouth really stinks!" Poisonous Scorpion snorted coldly, then nonchalantly ordered, "Attack!"

At his command, the shirtless underlings wielding large cleavers rushed forward.

Lin Yifan's gaze turned icy, his expression became serious, and he instantly unleashed his power to deal with the underlings charging at him with cleavers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With his intervention, many underlings fell to the ground, never to get back up.

Seeing this, Zhao Ritian became anxious and hurriedly urged, "Brother Scorpion! Things are looking bad! Kill him quickly!"

"Here, it's not your turn to command me! Hmph!" Brother Scorpion snorted coldly, seemingly quite annoyed by Zhao Ritian's attempts to direct the situation.

Frightened by that fierce gaze, Zhao Ritian immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Although he was the son of Guiyuan City's richest man, he was still nothing in front of the largest underworld power in Guiyuan City.

Brother Scorpion was intently observing the battlefield, looking for an opportunity to strike.

The next moment, he found an opening; he immediately took out a yellow knife and threw it with lightning speed.

"Whoosh!"

The yellow knife was extremely fast, reaching Lin Yifan's back in less than a second.

Sensing something swiftly approaching his back, Lin Yifan instinctively used his cultivation power and spun around in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

The yellow knife whizzed past him and ultimately struck an underling in front.

"Tss!"

Immediately, the underling who was stabbed by the yellow knife suffered swelling at the wound site and had difficulty breathing; knowing he'd been poisoned by Brother Scorpion, he hastily cried out, "Brother Scorpion! Save me!"

However, Brother Scorpion turned a blind eye and did not intervene to save him.

Gradually, his pupils dilated, his body convulsed, and he started foaming at the mouth; finally, his eyes closed, and he collapsed, lifeless.

Witnessing this, everyone present shuddered with fear; it was too terrifying.

Lin Yifan was also startled, thankful that he had dodged in time, or it wouldn't be that man lying on the ground, but him.

In addition, this incident made him realize the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of Brother Scorpion. To watch as one of his own men slowly died without lifting a finger to help—such a person was too cold-hearted, too merciless; and likewise, such a person was often the most terrifying.

On the other hand, Zhao Ritian was also petrified, with the ghastly way the man died shocking him to the core; he couldn't help but distance himself from the indifferent and cold-hearted Brother Scorpion, fearing that a moment's displeasure might lead him to be the next victim.

As a Little Knife Club underling, even if you were afraid, even if your boss was cold-blooded and merciless, you had to go forward; because that was your mission.

Soon, the underlings again took up their cleavers and attacked Lin Yifan, as if the previous incident had never occurred.

Lin Yifan too collected his thoughts; while remaining vigilant, he contended with these underlings.

In a nearby building, a figure stood in the dark hall, watching the situation outside the window. Observing Lin Yifan in battle, she slightly curled her lips and said, "Hmph! As expected of a Cultivator."

Outside the house, the fight was about to erupt, and the scene became chaotic again; Brother Scorpion continued to watch, looking for an opportunity to strike.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the following moments, he threw several yellow knives, but ultimately, Lin Yifan dodged them all.

Seeing that his underlings were close to being defeated, he decided to stop with the sneaky attacks and switch to close combat; thus, he immediately grabbed the large cleaver and charged over.

As Brother Scorpion rushed toward him, Lin Yifan prepared for battle; this person was at the same realm as him, with extraordinary strength; the key issue was that he might have hidden weapons; if, like last time in the nightclub, he was suddenly attacked in close quarters, then it would be over for him.

Once bitten, twice shy; he would not allow himself to make the same mistake, to take things lightly again.

Approaching closely, Brother Scorpion swung his cleaver fiercely, unleashing an utterly rigid and powerful force.

Lin Yifan kicked away a lackey, then hastily raised his own cleaver to block Brother Scorpion's fierce attack.

"Bang!"

All of a sudden, a tremendous jolt numbed his arms.

"So strong!" Lin Yifan couldn't help but exclaim.

The instant the two blades made contact, his right hand felt as if it had been struck by a thousand-pound weight, excruciating pain coursing through, nearly breaking it.

After chopping once, Brother Scorpion swung the cleaver again, continuing the ferocious assault.

This time, Lin Yifan adjusted his state and also exerted all his strength, confronting Brother Scorpion for a true test of power.

"Bang!"

This time, when the weapons met, Lin Yifan's arms were not numbed, and instead, the previously formidable Brother Scorpion encountered a slight mishap.

At this moment, the large cleaver Brother Scorpion held in his hand vibrated continuously, emitting a piercing whine; moreover, there was a notch on the cleaver, obviously cut by Lin Yifan's own cleaver.

Staring at this situation, Brother Scorpion's brow furrowed tightly, feeling that big trouble was looming. The young man in the suit before him had misrepresented his strength; he was not at the Breaking Mortal Three Realm but rather at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Three Realm, which was much stronger than him.

However, he still had a trump card, he still had a chance to turn the situation around, so he did not need to be afraid.

On the other side, Lin Yifan was also gaping at this outcome, clearly unaware that his own realm had increased.

"How is this possible? How can I have such tremendous power?" Lin Yifan was bewildered.

Now, he distinctly felt that the power within his body was much stronger than before. Although not by a significant amount, it was indeed stronger.

"Could it be because of last night when I absorbed An Qi's inner strength for cultivation?" Lin Yifan wondered, then followed with, "It must be the case."

Besides this, he could not think of any reason why his strength had increased.

"If one absorption can enhance me so much, won't another make me break through the realm?" Lin Yifan was somewhat delighted.

But An Qi was not his girlfriend; he could not just absorb when he wished; and more critically, doing so could also harm An Qi's body.

It was lucky that nothing serious happened this time; next time might not be the same story; so in the future, such actions should be minimized as much as possible.

This power gave Lin Yifan confidence, and at that moment, a strange curve formed at the corner of his mouth, and then he took the initiative to attack.

Brother Scorpion didn't just sit there waiting to be defeated; wielding the cleaver, he met the assault head-on; even if he could not win, he would not admit defeat so easily.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

And so, the two of them kept attacking and feinting, neither willing to yield to the other.
