Chapter 229: Descent! Dominating the Scene from the Start
Zhou Hu and Erdan were two dedicated sewer cleaners. They had grand ambitions. Their goal was to become renowned sewer-clearing experts in Yanhai City, their names known to everyone. They didn't aspire to much else.
"Evil... evil creature!"
"Gegewu, let's run!"
They knew Gegewu was an evil creature, but after spending time together, they understood he wouldn't harm them. They had even become good friends. However, they couldn't remain calm when encountering other evil creatures.
Especially this evil eel, which was truly hideous.
Whether human or evil creature, there were distinctions of beauty and ugliness. Beauty easily evoked a sense of closeness. Like the cockroach demon from before, it wasn't good-looking, but it was adorably foolish, allowing them to lower their guard. But this evil eel was truly repulsive.
Disgusting.
So disgusting it almost made them vomit.
Gegewu warned its fellow evil creature, "There's a terrifying presence outside. You'd best stay put here. We won't bother each other, and I don't want to hurt you. Think it over."
Did it think the evil eel was so stupid that it would be easily fooled by Gegewu? Would it still have a brain?
It had survived several evil creature uprisings, not because it slept during the day, but because its clever mind told it something was amiss. It chose to sit back and observe, waiting for the opportune moment.
In the end, things played out as it expected.
Its fellow evil creatures all failed in their rebellion, suffering heavy casualties. But it, thanks to its clever mind, successfully escaped disaster.
Therefore, it wouldn't believe a single word from Gegewu. Gegewu was with humans, and there was no trust to be placed in anyone associated with humans.
The evil eel's body continued to expand, cracking the sewer walls. The ground couldn't withstand the pressure of its expanding form.
"Foolish creature," Gegewu could only describe its fellow creature as foolish.
Truly stupid.
Zhou Hu and Erdan stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in shock once more.
"It... it grew more bodies!"
Gegewu grabbed the two by the back of their collars, like chicks. They were already petrified by the evil eel. It was ugly, it transformed, and even after transforming, it didn't get any better looking.
In the past, Gegewu would have stroked its green fur and punched the evil creature to death. But now, the aura emanating from outside was terrifying, and it didn't dare act rashly.
The human special department experts were looking for it.
It had to remain vigilant.
Outside, Lin Fan was having fun with Xiaobao. For Xiaobao, this was the happiest day ever.
The Demon God sister was thinking about befriending them, waiting for a chance to strike. Suddenly, she detected the presence of an evil creature.
"Base and pitiful little things."
To her, evil creatures were indeed base and pitiful existences.
Rumble!
The ground trembled.
The evil eel finally saw the light of day. The dazzling sunlight made it uncomfortable, but its massive body gave it the feeling that no one in the human world was its match.
A powerful force erupted from within.
It hissed.
At that moment, the evil eel noticed a few tiny humans standing there.
It swayed its body.
If certain female streamers with particular tastes were present, they would definitely squeal with delight.
So thick!
So long!
So smooth!
The amusement park staff saw the evil eel and turned pale with fright.
"Help!"
"There's an evil creature!"
"How could an evil creature appear in our amusement park?"
They were all honest people, usually just enjoying the amusement park rides. Now, facing an evil creature, they were scared out of their wits.
"Wow! What a strange creature," Lin Fan said.
Old Zhang stroked his chin, lost in thought. "What kind of creature is this?"
Xiaobao hid fearfully behind Lin Fan.
The Demon God sister pondered. She thought that if she could help them, perhaps she could get closer to these humans.
The bodyguards looked serious, drawing their pistols and firing at the evil creature.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets bounced off the evil creature's smooth skin.
The evil eel was quite powerful. In its current state, it was at least level six, and ordinary special department members were no match for it.
The bodyguards instinctively wanted to take Xiaobao and run.
Then they remembered Lin Fan was still there.
It seemed there was no need to run.
Just like in the suburbs, they were truly terrified back then, thinking they would die there. But unexpectedly, Lin Fan single-handedly defeated the evil creature.
With such strength and ability, what was there to fear?
Grumble!
Old Zhang's stomach growled. He covered his stomach, clearly hungry.
Lin Fan asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes, I'm hungry," Old Zhang replied.
"But it's so ugly," Lin Fan pointed at the evil eel. It was dark, dirty, and clearly inedible. Even if he was hungry, he couldn't bring himself to eat it. If it were a cute animal, he definitely wouldn't let Old Zhang go hungry.
Old Zhang said regretfully, "Yes, it's really ugly."
The evil rooster overheard their conversation and felt uneasy. Occasionally, evil creatures ate humans, but these two humans actually liked to eat evil creatures.
As an undercover agent, a hero among evil creatures, it was particularly friendly to its own kind and never wanted to see them harmed.
However...
These cruel humans actually cooked its fellow creatures into food. And that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that they made it devour its own kind.
It resisted, protested, and even tried to negotiate with the humans several times.
Don't bully a rooster too much!
But thinking of the future of evil creatures, it endured the pain and ate several large chunks of its fellow creatures, increasing its strength.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang's conversation reached the evil eel's ears.
For the evil creature, the most intolerable thing was humans belittling it in its presence.
"Damn it!"
The evil eel flew into a rage, its dark, smooth, and dirty tentacles lashing out. But at that moment, a clear voice rang out from the side.
"I'll help you."
The Demon God sister felt her chance had come. The best way to build rapport was to offer help in times of need. To reclaim her blood, she had truly put in tremendous effort, racking her brains until they nearly exploded.
It was just a pity...
She still hadn't figured it out.
The Demon God sister walked from behind, stopping in front of Lin Fan and the others, her gaze fixed on the evil eel.
The attacking evil eel saw the Demon God sister and sensed her aura. It abruptly stopped, as if startled.
It feared this aura.
It even felt immense pressure, a suppression stemming from its bloodline.
The Demon God sister's eyes flickered with faint light.
The evil eel seemed to be affected.
A shocking scene unfolded.
The evil eel swung its tentacles, and with a whoosh, it pierced its own head. The action was swift, decisive, without any hesitation.
The Demon God sister smiled.
It was an honor for the evil creature to be personally dispatched by her.
The bodyguards were stunned.
When they saw the beautiful woman step forward, they couldn't bear to watch, fearing she would die before their eyes. That would be unbearable for them.
After all, the beauty was so stunning.
How could she die at the hands of an evil creature?
To their surprise, the evil creature actually self-destructed. This method was too overbearing. Or did the evil creature also have a sense of beauty, seeing such a goddess before it and choosing to end itself?
"Lin Fan, what is it doing?" Old Zhang looked at the collapsing evil eel, surprised and shocked, not knowing what to say.
Lin Fan said, "I think it must be sick. Like, its brain isn't working properly, which is why it acted like that. Old Zhang, I think you should examine it."
"But it stinks, I'm scared," Old Zhang said.
Lin Fan said calmly, "Then forget it."
Old Zhang smiled. "Okay."
Then, Lin Fan turned to the Demon God sister and said, "You're so brave. Thank you for helping us."
The Demon God sister said, "We're good friends. If you're in danger, as a good friend, I'll definitely step up and help you."
"Lin Fan is very strong. Even if you didn't help, we'd be fine," Xiaobao said, seemingly hostile towards the Demon God sister.
Lin Fan patted Xiaobao's head and said, "Xiaobao is right."
"Of course," Xiaobao said proudly, raising his head.
The Demon God sister felt that this human was a bit strange. Logically, what he just said was problematic. He should have told the little brat that even if her help was unnecessary, he shouldn't have said it like that. It was a bit hurtful.
The evil eel died tragically.
Its death was meaningless.
Its life should have been brilliant, served on the dining table, praised by everyone.
Especially eel shreds, leeks, and eggs made into a soup, that flavor is the most delicious.
But now it died just like that.
It was a bit of a waste.
Upon receiving the news, the special department immediately rushed over. An evil creature wreaking havoc in the amusement park, completely disregarding them, demanded a severe response.
But when they arrived at the scene, they found no traces of destruction caused by the evil creature, only a dead evil eel lying there quietly. Based on their preliminary investigation, they discovered a terrifying fact: the evil eel had killed itself.
This was clearly impossible for them to comprehend.
How could this happen?
"Do evil creatures like to self-harm now?" one member asked.
"Who knows?"
"Maybe this evil creature knew it couldn't escape, so it ended itself."
They didn't think too much about it.
They felt it was highly likely this was the case.
Beside the van, Gegewu hid inside, shrinking its head, not daring to peek out. The terrifying aura gradually faded, allowing it to breathe a sigh of relief. It simply enjoyed living in the human city.
It had no other intentions.
And it was very satisfied with its current life.
It didn't want any problems to arise.
Zhou Hu and Erdan paced anxiously. Was this a joke? The job they finally got was ruined by an evil creature. Look at the state of the sewer, could it even be cleaned?
Soon, they saw the director of the logistics department.
"Boss, what should we do about this?" Erdan hurriedly asked.
This matter concerned their livelihood, it was distressing.
At the same time, there was some anticipation.
Fantasies still danced in his mind.
Perhaps things weren't that bad. Even if the sewer was messed up, they could still clean other places.
The logistics director said, "What else can we do? The sewer is in this state, we definitely need to find someone to fix it. Put your cleaning work aside for a while. I'm very busy now, I don't have time to chat with you. That's it, wait for my call."
He then left in a hurry.
Leaving Zhou Hu and Erdan, two pitiful figures, standing bewildered in the wind.
"Erdan, I say we should go back to our old profession," Zhou Hu asked.
He felt truly unlucky.
Ever since starting the sewer cleaning company, nothing seemed to go right. Orders that were practically in hand would be lost due to various unforeseen circumstances. Honestly, it was truly frustrating.
A kind of unspeakable pain.
Wang Erdan stared wide-eyed, "Brother Hu, have you forgotten our oath?"
Zhou Hu said, "I remember, but we also need to eat."
"As long as we remember our oath, I can endure even without food. A temporary setback doesn't mean there will always be setbacks. Let me sing you a song." Wang Erdan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and sang: "He said, in the wind and rain, what are these pains? Wipe away your tears, don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams. He said, in the wind and rain, these…"
He sang with deep emotion, expressing the feelings and unwillingness in his heart.
Zhou Hu's mouth hung open, stunned by Erdan's singing. He had never imagined Erdan possessed such talent.
"Erdan…"
"Hmm?"
"How about we go busking? With your singing, you'll definitely get beaten up. Then you just lie on the ground and don't get up until they give us seventy or eighty thousand. We'll extort them to death."
"We shouldn't give up on our dream of cleaning sewers."
For Zhou Hu, kidnapping seemed like the easiest job.
However, Wang Erdan's dream was to make their sewer cleaning company bigger and stronger.
"Brother Hu, believe me, you are Liu Bei, and Gegewu and I are like Wolong and Fengchu. With us, you will definitely succeed." Wang Erdan's expression was very serious.
Looking at his expression,
You knew he wasn't joking.
He was telling the truth.
Special Department.
"Good, confirmed."
The one-eyed man's face showed joy.
"The location is so far away."
He hadn't expected the locator's position to be there. With such a distance, it wouldn't be easy to reach. According to monitoring, due to the extremely harsh weather, with constant wind and frost and temperatures reaching tens of degrees below zero, ordinary members couldn't withstand it there.
At this time,
Jin Heli softly reported the situation from the research lab. There was significant progress. For the one-eyed man, he felt this day was incredibly lucky. Not only did he get a useful location, but the research lab also had a discovery. This was something he had never imagined.
He didn't go to the research lab.
Instead, he cleared the data and returned to his office.
The one-eyed man lit a cigarette, silently taking a drag. Smoke curled upwards. What he was thinking about now was very simple: who should he make this call to?
Jin Shangwu?
Xia Kunyun?
After careful consideration, he felt neither of them were suitable. It wasn't that their positions were low, but rather that they hadn't reached the decision-making level within the Special Department.
Thinking of the lunatic who wanted to nuke his house,
He felt that person's position was definitely very high.
It wasn't as simple as he thought.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
Xia Du Special Department. Chief Xu looked at the documents. Seeing the one-eyed man calling, he answered.
"Hello!"
The one-eyed man, having already planned his approach, spoke.
"Ahem, is it convenient to talk?"
"Good. I have a very important matter to discuss with you. Headquarters instructed me to transfer two Shadow Society captives. I sent them, but there was an incident en route. We were attacked, and both individuals were taken. I followed them and discovered their destination. I believe it's the Shadow Society's base."
"It's in the snowy mountains, quite far away. I want to gather manpower to clear out the Shadow Society's base."
"Yes, that's right. I don't want others to know. I've only told a few people about this. I don't want too many people to know for now. I hope you can help me keep it confidential."
"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure of."
Hanging up the phone,
The one-eyed man smiled. He felt his tactic was decent. He told Chief Xu that he had told a few people, but he deliberately didn't specify who.
If he truly was the traitor,
He definitely wouldn't be able to hide it.
As for why he suspected Chief Xu, it felt strange to the one-eyed man. It wasn't that he necessarily wanted him to be the traitor, but because he was the head of the Xia Du Special Department, if there really was a problem, there was a high probability it was with him.
Of course,
The one-eyed man had already considered that if the location changed, then Chief Xu was definitely the problem. But if Chief Xu told other higher-ups, he would still be a suspect, and it wouldn't be easy to clear his name.
The Shadow Society's reach was long.
They disappeared for so many years and now reappeared.
Moreover, back then, the Shadow Society's leader died at the headquarters' entrance. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so many people witnessed it, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?
"Hmph, I'm going to find all of you traitors."
The one-eyed man looked at the night scene outside. Such a brightly lit and beautiful scene couldn't be destroyed by those traitors.
His only worry was,
Whether the Shadow Society was colluding with evil entities.
These were things he still needed to investigate and gather evidence for.
Often, in the dead of night, the one-eyed man would sigh, "I'm so troubled, and so lonely. If I had been a little smarter back in high court, I would at least have someone by my side now."
But now…
Better not to talk about it.
Just thinking about it brought tears to his eyes.
Night.
"Lin Fan, how exactly do you go to that strange world you were talking about?" Old Zhang asked.
Lin Fan pondered, "I don't know either. That's why I definitely won't sleep tonight, no matter what. If I can go, I'll definitely take you with me."
"Mm, okay." Old Zhang said happily.
No matter where they went,
As long as he was with Lin Fan, it was fine.
They never wanted to be apart.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
The clock hanging on the wall ticked away.
23:59.
Lin Fan kept his eyes open, forcing himself to stay awake.
Tick-tock-tock!
He heard the second hand moving.
Ding!
00:00.
April 30th passed.
May 1st arrived.
Lin Fan fell asleep on the bed, uncontrollably.
[Otherworldly Scenario Officially Activated.]
[Target Selected: 'Martial Arts Mad God' title holder, 250th generation descendant, Lin Fan.]
[Mission: The descendant of a generation of Martial Arts Mad God is about to be exterminated. Help the descendant return to the peak.]
[Physical Strength Transfer: 100%.]
[Descending!]
"Kill, kill…"
The sounds of furious killing reached his ears.
"It's noisier than before."
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. Before, he always felt the surroundings were quiet, but now it felt very noisy. Bright lights shone into his eyes. He was in the hall of a large house, very luxurious, the most luxurious place he had ever seen. If he had to compare, it was like Xiao Bao's home.
At this moment,
He finally saw what was happening around him.
A group of people in casual clothes, wielding weapons, were constantly fighting with others. Some had their throats slit by swords, others were kicked several meters away, landing on the ground and vomiting blood.
"Hahaha, your Lin family should disappear from this world."
A middle-aged man, wearing iron gloves on both hands, twisted the neck of a servant, tossed him aside, and looked at the nearly finished scene, laughing loudly.
"If you hand over the Lin family's Fist Scripture, perhaps we can spare your foolish son's life."
At this time,
The remaining members of the Lin family quickly retreated,
Surrounding Lin Fan and the matriarch.
Lin Fan was very confused. What was happening here? Why were there so many people? The smell of blood in the air was so pungent. Just as he was thinking about these things,
A pair of blood-stained hands touched his face.
Lin Fan looked up in a daze. It was a woman, with an elegant temperament and eyes full of love. She said,
"My poor child, you've been foolish until now. I originally wanted you to live a peaceful life like this, but I never thought something like this would happen."
Then,
Memories flooded into Lin Fan's mind.
This was a world that revered martial arts, with complex and intertwined factions. It was also a modern world. His current identity was the young master of the Lin family, only he was foolish. And now, he was facing extermination, because of the Lin family's Fist Scripture.
"Do you really want to exterminate us completely?" Old Master Lin, with his head full of white hair, roared angrily.
He was the old master of the Lin family, Lin Fan's grandfather, and the strongest person in the Lin family. But due to his old age, he could only exert about 50-60% of his strength. Facing the siege of so many factions, he was already nearing his end.
"Daoist Qingyun, can you help my Lin family?" Old Master Lin looked towards a Daoist priest in the corner of the hall.
This Daoist priest was invited by Old Master Lin to help the Lin family, but unexpectedly, Daoist Qingyun went back on his word, persuaded by another faction, and chose to stand by and watch.
Daoist Qingyun said indifferently, "Old Master Lin, it's fate. Today is the day of the Lin family's extermination, and no one can stop it. Since it has come to this, why not hand over the Fist Scripture? This poor Daoist can guarantee the safety of your foolish grandson."
Immediately,
A group of covetous people burst into laughter.
"Haha, how ridiculous. The Lin family's lineage has ended up with a fool."
"Even if we didn't act today, the Lin family would only last a few more decades."
At this moment,
A woman walked out from the crowd. The woman was beautiful.
"Lin Fan, didn't you used to listen to me the most? Be good and let your mother hand over the Fist Scripture. From now on, I can keep you, treat you like a dog, and raise you well."
The woman's words didn't match her appearance at all.
Extremely vicious.
"Goddess Zhou Tong used to flatter this fool just to get the Fist Scripture. It pained us to watch. Now it's good, the Lin family head is dead, and we don't have to let the goddess suffer anymore." Some young talents laughed.
Back when the Lin family was still powerful,
They could only use a beauty trap to seduce this fool.
But the effect was minimal.
Now they didn't need to bother. They could just exterminate the family and force out the Fist Scripture.
Lin Fan, who had just arrived, still hadn't grasped the current situation.
He didn't understand what they were trying to do.
He didn't like this.
He always believed that killing was wrong.
The old Lin family butler stood in front, "Madam, Master, take the young master and leave first. Leave this to us. We can definitely hold them off."
This old butler was a loyal servant of the Lin family.
His strength was also very strong.
Yan Qiu.
In the current modern martial arts world, he was a very strong Grandmaster. It would take quite a bit of effort and cost to take him down.
"Old Yan, you truly are a loyal dog. To protect your master, you don't even care about your own descendants. Don't tell me you think no one knows where they are?"
"Come, return Old Yan's most beloved grandson to him."
Then,
Zhou Tong threw the corpse of a child forward. The corpse landed on the ground and rolled, then lay still in front of the Lin family.
Old Yan's eyes were bloodshot. Looking at his grandson's corpse, he was overwhelmed with grief and spat out a mouthful of blood. He said sorrowfully,
"He was just a child! How could you do this?"
The Lin family members closed their eyes in despair,
Unable to bear the sight.
They all knew that was Old Yan's grandson. They hadn't expected him to be implicated because of them.
A child?
Lin Fan looked down at the child lying on the ground. In an instant, his eyes widened.
"Xiao Bao…"
He whispered.
Lin Fan's mother, hearing her son's voice, thought he was afraid. She wanted to grip his hand, reassuring him that she would get him out, no matter what.
However, what she didn't expect was this:
Fan'er, stepping out of the crowd, knelt before Xiao Bao and gently nudged him. "Xiao Bao, wake up. Why are you here too?"
"Xiao Bao, it's me, Lin Fan."
Lin Fan's eyes widened, as if in disbelief, or perhaps he couldn't accept that Xiao Bao was dead. Lowering his head, he pressed his ear to Xiao Bao's chest, listening for a heartbeat.
The Lin family members couldn't bear to watch this scene.
They all knew that Young Master Lin had a close relationship with Elder Yan's grandson. Usually, it was Elder Yan's grandson who played with the Young Master.
But…
Who was Xiao Bao?
Elder Yan's grandson wasn't called Xiao Bao, but Xiao Ling.
Perhaps this was a nickname between Elder Yan's grandson and the Young Master that no one else knew.
"Young Master, Xiao Bao is already dead," Elder Yan said, grief-stricken.
"No, I heard a faint heartbeat. He told me he wasn't dead. He told me to run. Why should I run?"
Lin Fan muttered, then asked softly, "Xiao Bao, who did this to you? I'll avenge you. You're one of my best friends. I won't let anyone bully you."
At this moment, the people surrounding and attacking the Lin family burst into laughter. To them, the foolish Young Master Lin truly lived up to his reputation, talking to a corpse as if it were real.
"Was it them? So they did this to you? I'll avenge you."
Lin Fan touched Xiao Bao's forehead, struggling to accept the reality. He hadn't expected Xiao Bao to come here too, and to be harmed like this. He was filled with rage.
A fire burned in his heart, growing stronger and stronger, threatening to burst forth.
Zhou Tong strolled forward with a sneer. "Our Young Master Lin, this boy always hated me being near you. He always knew my intentions weren't pure. But now he's paid the price for his foolishness. During the attack on your Lin family, I personally captured this little brat and tortured him severely. He never admitted his mistake, not even in death."
"Look at his fingers, they're all twisted. That's the price he paid for pointing at me. If he had admitted his mistake, he wouldn't have died so miserably. Such a pity… he didn't."
Those around her shuddered at Zhou Tong's words. The goddess was beautiful, but cruel. Even the term "vicious" couldn't fully describe her.
Lin Fan looked at Xiao Bao's twisted fingers, his heart aching. Tears fell onto Xiao Bao's face. He clenched his fists. At this moment, no one noticed anything different about Lin Fan, who had his head lowered. If they had looked, they would have seen real flames burning in his eyes.
Crimson!
Crimson!
"Young Master…" Elder Yan started to speak, but then watched in horror as the Young Master vanished.
Cries erupted from the hall.
No one could believe what they were seeing.
Lin Fan, who had been several meters away, now stood before Zhou Tong. He spread his fingers, covering her face, then lifted his arm, raising her into the air.
"Let her go!" a talented young man roared.
He charged at Lin Fan with a longsword in hand.
"Seven Star Sword Saint, Liu Changfeng!"
The onlookers gasped. Liu Changfeng was powerful, his swordsmanship unmatched. His cultivation had reached the Xiantian realm, and few could withstand his attacks unscathed.
But as Liu Changfeng reached Lin Fan, Lin Fan clenched his fist and swung. His fist didn't even touch Liu Changfeng, but the force of the blow exploded Liu Changfeng's head, sending blood splattering across the crowd.
Silence.
Stunned disbelief.
No one could believe what they had just witnessed.
Liu Changfeng had been killed by the foolish Lin family Young Master.
Killed in one blow.
Was this still the foolish Young Master they knew?
They weren't the only ones stunned.
Even the Lin family members were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Is that… our Young Master?"
The surviving members of the Lin family were utterly shocked. In their memories, the Young Master had always been foolish, often sitting in one place, lost in thought, sometimes for an entire day. His understanding of the world was also limited.
But as members of the Lin family, they had never looked down on him. Instead, they cared for him deeply.
"Fan'er, he…" Lin Fan's mother stammered, never having imagined such a scene. Amidst the shock, she felt a surge of excitement.
"Lin Fan, let me go!" Zhou Tong screamed, kicking wildly at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's face was utterly cold. Before, no matter who he faced, he would always wear a bright smile after a few words.
Perhaps… such a smile would make people afraid, thinking him deranged.
But now, his coldness was true rage.
"Xiao Bao and Old Zhang are my best friends. I won't allow anyone to bully them."
"I…"
Zhou Tong, held high in Lin Fan's grip, was suddenly slammed into the marble floor. Crack! The floor cracked. Bang! Zhou Tong's head exploded.
Red and white gore stained Lin Fan's hand.
"Ah!"
The onlookers gasped. The bloody scene left them speechless, their hearts pounding. Then, as Lin Fan looked up at them, they involuntarily backed away.
They had never witnessed anything so terrifying.
"He's not human…"
Flames burned in his eyes. Anyone who met his gaze felt a searing pain, as if their eyes were being scorched.
"Amitabha, Benefactor Lin has descended from madness into demonic possession in but an instant. This poor monk shall deliver you."
A white-robed old monk's voice boomed. He took a step forward, a golden bell manifesting around him.
"Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield!"
"Master Sanjie has cultivated this supreme body-tempering technique to such a level, condensing it into a physical form. He's likely just a step away from becoming a Grandmaster!"
In an instant, Master Sanjie appeared beside Lin Fan. His fingers formed claws, and he struck with the Buddhist Dragon Claw technique, a dragon's claw phantom forming around his hand.
"Another ultimate technique! Master Sanjie is indeed a holy monk, a rare master in this world!"
Bang!
Bang!
The Dragon Claw struck Lin Fan, but instead of tearing him apart as expected, it sounded like metal striking metal.
No one knew how much pain Master Sanjie was in. His ten fingers throbbed, on the verge of exploding.
The Lin family disciples were astonished.
"What kind of technique does the Young Master cultivate?"
"The Diamond Body?"
"Or perhaps an even higher level body refining technique?"
They had been prepared to die with the Lin family, but now the Young Master had given them unexpected hope.
"Father, what kind of technique does Fan'er practice?" Lin Fan's mother asked.
Patriarch Lin said gravely, "I don't know."
Master Sanjie, feeling his Dragon Claw failing, tried to retreat. But Lin Fan grabbed his ankle. Just as the monk was about to speak, Lin Fan slammed him to the ground and stomped on his waist.
Crack!
The Golden Bell Shield shattered.
The monk's waist bones splintered, piercing his skin as blood gushed out. Bang! His lower body went numb.
The revered monk's waist was broken, his upper and lower body separated.
Lin Fan didn't even look. He tossed the lower half into the crowd, eliciting screams. His furious eyes fixed on everyone present.
"You all deserve to die."
Bang!
Lin Fan vanished.
He was too fast. The eye couldn't follow.
Bang!
A scream echoed.
One of the experts attacking the Lin family had a fist-sized hole punched through his chest. The force of the blow didn't dissipate, but continued, tearing through those behind him as if they were in a meat grinder, their bodies mangled.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The scene was horrific.
"The foolish Lin Young Master is a demon! Run!" someone shrieked in terror.
He had seen Lin Fan clap his hands together, crushing a head, and punch through several experts with flames erupting from his fists.
Some people's legs trembled, and an unknown liquid dripped down their thighs.
