Moreover, judging by the intensity of the magical aura emanating from him, the opponent was at most a mere apprentice-level weakling! With such strength, how dare he obstruct the Selshi family? Wasn't that courting death?
"Robert, what's happening outside?" At that moment, Erin, who was in the carriage, was drawn by the commotion outside and curiously opened the window to ask.
"It's nothing, just a couple of reckless fools. Miss, there's no need to worry; I'll send them on their way right now!" Robert replied, then turned to Lin Ke and Ron ahead, shouting, "I advise you to leave quickly and find a more suitable target. Our Selshi family is not something you two fools are qualified to meddle with!"
"What a beautiful girl!" Unfortunately, Lin Ke didn't hear what he said at all. Ever since Erin revealed her stunningly beautiful face, his gaze had been glued to her!
"Ron, it seems today this young master not only wants to rob some wealth but also intends to take a little beauty for himself!" Lin Ke said with a mischievous grin.
"Master, isn't that a bit inappropriate? We are nobles, after all!" Ron replied, feeling somewhat troubled.
"Nobles, my foot!" Lin Ke scoffed, retorting, "Let me ask you, is this girl pretty?"
"Very pretty!" Ron nodded obediently.
"Do you like her?" Lin Ke asked again, his tone laced with a hint of mischief.
"I like her!" Ron, caught off guard, instinctively nodded once more.
"Hmm! I like her too!" Lin Ke nodded in agreement, but then he swiftly changed his tone. "But you're a coward; I'm not like you!"
"What do you mean by that, young master?" Ron exclaimed, his eyes wide with confusion as he looked at Lin Ke.
"Idiot!" Lin Ke scolded, exasperated. "If you like her, go after her! If you can't catch her, then force her! If you don't even have the courage to pursue her, how can you claim to like her?"
"I... I'll go!" Ron was left dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events, his mind racing.
But Lin Ke didn't care about his reaction. After saying that, he turned his gaze back to the Selshi convoy ahead. "Listen up, everyone! This young master has changed his mind. Not only do you have to leave all your wealth behind, but you also have to give me this girl as my concubine. Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly you won't even recognize your own father!"
"You're asking for death!" Seeing Lin Ke dare to insult his lady, Robert was furious. He drew the long sword hanging at his waist, ready to strike down this reckless fool!
But before he could take a step, someone was faster than him! "Despicable, shameless bandit! No matter who you are, today you've met me, Ryan, and your good days are about to end!"
Ryan had jumped out of the carriage without anyone noticing. Without a word, he charged at Lin Ke! He had long wanted to show off in front of Erin, and now Lin Ke had delivered himself right to his doorstep, and with such weak strength, it was the perfect opportunity for him to shine!
In the blink of an eye, as Ryan rushed closer, a golden aura of fighting spirit flickered around him! Not far away, Lin Ke sensed the energy radiating from him and couldn't help but smirk.
"With your kind of trash, how dare you flaunt your power in front of me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually threw his white bone giant sword!
In the next moment, with a whoosh, the seemingly weightless giant sword suddenly accelerated in mid-air, transforming into a silver-white streak of light that almost instantaneously struck Ryan!
"What is that?" Ryan was startled, and before he could react, he was sent flying back at a speed even faster than he had come!
"Ah…"
Crack! Crack!
Accompanied by a piercing scream, Ryan crashed into Erin's carriage, his body convulsing as he foamed at the mouth, falling unconscious!
"Ah?"
At this moment, not only was Robert stunned, but Erin and everyone from the Selshi family were also left in shock! After all, Ryan, although not as strong as his cousin, the "Golden Lion" Leo, was still a bona fide level 9 warrior apprentice! Yet, he hadn't even lasted a single round against that mysterious young man and had been taken down in an instant!
Meanwhile, Lin Ke, having completed this feat, lightly clapped his hands as if he had merely accomplished a trivial task, muttering, "Trash!"
"Y-You… who exactly are you?" Finally, Erin could no longer suppress her racing heart and, standing beside the wrecked carriage, asked.
