Chapter 1584: Chapter 1582: You Have to Leave Qiu Xi Behind and Escape Alone...
The Blood Demon Wolves were inching closer to Lin Fan.
But.
Lin Fan remained completely still!
That’s right!
Lan Zhengqing blinked hard; he indeed did not see wrong!
Lin Fan was just standing there, motionless.
What on earth was this guy up to?
What exactly was he trying to do?!
Although Lin Fan’s cultivation realm had taken a leap from a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor to a Supreme of Ancient Ninth Layer in just an hour and a half,
it was a mind-boggling feat, an act reminiscent of a monster!
Even Lan Zhengqing himself couldn’t achieve such a breakthrough across two great realms; this was no feat for an ordinary person.
However,
Lin Fan indeed seemed like an ordinary individual, at least in his eyes, just an ant riddled with flaws that could be easily crushed.
Even at the Supreme of Ancient Ninth Layer, there’s no way he could handle these tens of millions of Blood Demon Wolves, let alone deal with someone like me, a Middle Heavenly Venerate.
Hmph!
Where did he get the confidence to think he could escape from here with Qiu Xi?
Ridiculous!
Utterly ridiculous!
Lan Zhengqing roared with anger inwardly, yet remained unmoved, coldly observing Lin Fan, curious to see what abilities and tactics he had to escape this inescapable trap.
Absolutely impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He felt ashamed for even a momentary doubt and sneered sinisterly.
To think he could be slightly thrown off balance.
An utter disgrace!
Being tricked by Lin Fan time and time again had left him somewhat confused, forgetting that Lin Fan was just a Supreme of Ancient Ninth Layer, at best a Supreme of Ancient Ninth Layer even if he were more formidable.
What should I fear?!
With that thought, Lan Zhengqing’s anxious expression gradually faded, his flickering gaze calmed. He stared at Lin Fan with a sneering smile.
"Lin Fan, thinking you can escape is nothing but a damn daydream."
"Don’t believe it?"
Lin Fan remained unhurried, raised his eyebrows slightly, looking as carefree as if the countless Blood Demon Wolves were nothing to him.
"Hahaha! Believe it? How should I believe? You’re just a mere Supreme of Ancient Ninth Layer, and you think you can take on these tens of millions of Blood Demon Wolves? Maybe you’re delusional. Honestly, I appreciate your arrogance, your conceit, your arrogance. However, this isn’t limitless; a man should know his limits, you know? Without self-awareness, you’ll die a miserable death, more miserable than you can imagine."
Lan Zhengqing gritted his teeth, expression grim, and growled viciously.
"What a pity, what a pity. If you could have submitted to me, perhaps I could have made you the commander of the Ice Cicada Sect, leading these destitute people to great accomplishments. But unfortunately, you are naturally proud and unruly, refusing to follow orders, thus I must sadly eliminate you from existence!"
"Oh, well, thanks so much for the praise, Lan Zhengqing. Seems I should be grateful you think so highly of me, huh? But forget about becoming a little commander of the Ice Cicada Sect. Even if you gave me the title of the Water Clan’s prince, I wouldn’t care. I’m accustomed to freedom, can’t stand you pretentious guys, especially you, your pretentiousness is absolutely disgusting."
"So arrogant even at death’s door, Lin Fan, you’ve got guts!"
"Indeed, unlike you, who lacks even the slightest courage, curling up at the sight of women. Who under heaven would truly love you, huh? So pitiful. Why don’t you kneel down and call me master? I can teach you some tricks on picking up girls, how about it?"
"You damn..."
"Don’t get worked up, could it be that I hit a sore spot, making you furious out of humiliation? Oh my, my, that’s really embarrassing, I just said it randomly, just throwing verbal jabs, who would’ve thought it accidentally struck a nerve, hmm... sorry about that."
Lin Fan said with a smile. Engaging in a war of words, Lan Zhengqing was no match for him; no one had ever out-talked Lin Fan. Lan Zhengqing’s choice to engage in a war of insults with Lin Fan was utterly self-destructive and foolish.
Lan Zhengqing was red with rage, on the verge of boiling over, making strange sounds like a whistling kettle.
Who knows where that noise came from.
Shrill, piercing.
"Xiao Fan Fan! Stop fooling around, watch your surroundings!" Emperor Jade suddenly emerged from his mind, speaking nervously.
"Why are you popping out again, didn’t you say you wouldn’t bother with me anymore?" Lin Fan pouted, enjoying his verbal battle so much he couldn’t help but taunt Emperor Jade a little as well.
Emperor Jade immediately had glaring eyes wide open, brimming with murderous intent.
Lin Fan quickly snapped back, chuckled apologetically. "Sorry, I didn’t react in time..."
"Fine, I can’t be bothered to argue with you, hmph! You should hurry and watch the surroundings, the Blood Demon Wolves are about to surround you, think of something, stop throwing verbal jabs." Emperor Jade rolled her eyes.
"Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan." Lin Fan smiled mysteriously, full of confidence.
"What kind of plan? You’re courting death as we speak! Provoking and angering Lan Zhengqing further, eventually, when he gives the order, these Blood Demon Wolves will rush at you, you won’t even know how you die, and you say you’ve got a plan!" Emperor Jade pouted, hurriedly said.
"You’ve been with me for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am?"
"Precisely because I know your kind so well, I’m worried!" Emperor Jade sighed deeply. "You’re not alone now, you’ve got Qiu Xi with you."
She paused, knowing the next words were harsh, but she had to say them.
After all,
Lin Fan was her master, and Qiu Xi was not.
No matter the circumstances, her first priority was always Lin Fan’s safety, not anyone else’s.
"Now the Blood Demon Wolves are less than three meters from you, they are deliberately slowing their steps, as per Lan Zhengqing’s orders, wanting to crush you with their imposing force. But Lan Zhengqing is too unfamiliar with you, such a show of force could never break Lin Fan."
"Absolutely not!" Lin Fan said confidently, head held high.
"But the distance is indeed too close. With the speed of the Blood Demon Wolves, they could appear before you and Qiu Xi in just a thousandth of a breath! However, if you alone react, in a ten-thousandth of a breath, you still have a chance to escape."
"What do you mean by alone?" Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed, catching the underlying meaning in Emperor Jade’s words, asked sternly.
"Don’t rush, this is the conclusion I arrived at through accurate calculations. If you want to survive, you must listen to me." Emperor Jade noticed Lin Fan’s displeasure but continued undeterred.
"Alright, tell me."
"Being alone means you have to leave Qiu Xi behind, and flee by yourself..."
"Impossible!"
Before Emperor Jade could finish, Lin Fan instantly rejected the notion harshly, without a second thought!
"Listen to me, I..."
"No need to listen, I came back because I intend to take Qiu Xi with me, not abandoning her. Why would I be here then? For fun? Stop talking, I will never follow your methods."
"But by taking her with you, your reaction speed will surely decline, even matching a thousandth of a breath, still puts you at grave risk, you know?! Tens of millions of Blood Demon Wolves, this is no joke, Lin Fan, wake up!"
"Hmph, asking me to abandon Qiu Xi and leave alone, I won’t do it." Lin Fan’s voice was low, yet resolute. "Thank you for your concern, Emperor Jade. But I’ve got a different plan, my apologies for not heeding your advice."
"Besides, there’s more than one way to handle this, just you wait and see!"
Having said that, Lin Fan gave Emperor Jade no further opportunity to speak, cutting off their divine sense connection. Their conversation transpired in an instant, with the Blood Demon Wolves still three steps away but closing in steadily.
