Chapter 549: Chapter 548: Joy Written All Over the Face
And just at this moment, the joy on his face gradually solidified, followed by a split of his mouth and a spurt of bright red blood.
"What’s going on, how could the injury be so severe?"
Grandpa Lin Fan was shocked in his heart, and his face immediately darkened. He hurriedly circulated spiritual energy to check his body’s condition.
"Not good! The soul is damaged!"
Grandpa Lin Fan’s complexion instantly became extremely pale, his face filled with worry. But soon, he came to terms with it.
This kind of injury, for him, only needed some nurturing to heal.
However, he did not leave the place immediately but continued to close himself off, starting to recuperate and recover his body.
...
While Grandpa Lin Fan was healing, Liu Zheng was fleeing toward the southwest. He had memorized the license plate number of the off-road vehicle.
"Boom~"
Liu Zheng’s figure swiftly weaved through the jungle, with a series of explosions echoing behind him, and he did not hesitate to use teleportation, vanishing into thin air.
One hour later.
"Whoosh~"
A huge black dot suddenly appeared above the jungle, and his target was none other than a tall mountain.
"Boom~"
A roaring sound erupted as Liu Zheng crashed heavily into the mountain. His body buried into its depths, he disappeared within the forest, whereabouts unknown.
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away to the northeast, within a cave, a black-robed elder sat cross-legged. His body was filled with an incredibly terrifying soul force, turning the cave into a vacuum-like state.
In front of him lay three books: one with a black cover, the other two with a yellowed hue, and one with a golden cover.
These three books represented the heavenly secrets of Heaven’s Mystery Gate, Earthly Fiend Sect, and Divine Sword Sect, the three great factions. Within these books were the supreme skills of their respective sects.
Among them, the ultimate skill of Heaven’s Mystery Gate was called "Heavenly Mystery Technique"!
This technique was a very powerful one, extraordinary in might and the town sect’s trump card of Heaven’s Mystery Gate.
The ultimate skill of Earthly Fiend Sect was the Earthly Fiend Palm Technique, an extremely domineering technique, capable of enhancing one’s combat power in a brief amount of time.
The ultimate skill of Divine Sword Sect was called Divine Sword Art!
These three ultimate skills were each extraordinary martial techniques with astonishing power.
...
Three months later.
"Swoosh!"
A figure appeared abruptly in the middle of a plain wearing a set of black robes and a ferocious silver mask, his entire body emitting a fearsome aura.
Beneath the silver mask, his eyes glinted with a cold chill, intimidating to behold as if he did not belong to this world, but rather as an ancient demon king, making it difficult for one to look at him directly.
"Lin Fan, who would have thought, you’re still alive!"
The man in the silver mask, looking at the plain before him, couldn’t help but speak, "But there’s nothing for you to be proud of, in my eyes, you are nothing more than an ant!"
The man in the silver mask’s voice was cold to the core, chilling to the listener, as if they were in a freezing cellar, feeling boundless cold.
The man in the silver mask was the junior Sect Master of the Earthly Fiend Sect, Lin Fan!
In recent years, he faced continuous pursuit by the Earthly Fiend Sect, almost every moment on the run, even coming close to perishing at times. Finally, it was by sheer luck that he managed to survive.
During those years, he experienced endless dangers and setbacks.
Throughout these times, his strength greatly improved, and with the nurturing of the Earthly Fiend Sect, he had stepped into the ninth layer of the Void Combining Realm.
His goal was to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!
This was his ultimate dream!
And now, his dream was finally within reach!
"Heh heh, in this world, there has yet to be someone who could bring me, Lin Fan, to my knees!"
Lin Fan sneered coldly; his strength had already surpassed the boundaries of the Void Combining Realm, reaching the peak, on the verge of breaking through at any moment!
Even so, he did not let his guard down and remained cautiously hidden in the shadows, ready to deal with enemies at any moment.
"Lin Fan! Do you think I can’t find you?"
Suddenly, an icy voice rang in Lin Fan’s ear, followed by the sight of an azure streak of light rapidly approaching from afar.
That streak of azure light, like an Azure Dragon, emitted an extremely fierce aura.
"Hmm?"
Lin Fan frowned slightly, and his expression darkened, for he was all too familiar with the azure streak—it was none other than his junior brother, Liu Zheng!
Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed.
"Heh, I really want to see who dares to show off in front of me."
Lin Fan’s gaze became utterly cold.
...
The Azure Dragon was the mount of Liu Zheng, the young Sect Master of the Earthly Fiend Sect.
This time, Liu Zheng had come for revenge with the Azure Dragon, seeking to settle the score.
All of this was caused by Lin Fan.
Initially, Lin Fan had crippled Liu Zheng, making the Chen Family lose face and causing heavy losses to the Earthly Fiend Sect, so this time, they intended to personally slay Lin Fan here.
...
"Swoosh~"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The Azure Dragon, as fast as thunder, instantly appeared in front of Lin Fan, its figure hovering in midair, with a pair of piercing eyes fixated on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan gave Liu Zheng a dismissive glance and said, "Liu Zheng, you waste, how did you get out here? I don’t know you."
A mocking smile curled up at the corner of Lin Fan’s mouth, his tone filled with disdain.
"Lin Fan! Just you wait! I won’t let you die easily!" Liu Zheng roared through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, what can you possibly do to me?" Lin Fan said with a look of contempt.
"Lin Fan, don’t be arrogant. Today, I will personally kill you here!" Liu Zheng roared in anger.
He had already suffered severe internal injuries, and his current cultivation was only about the fifth level of the Fusion Realm. In front of Lin Fan, he was no match at all, barely able to withstand a single blow with just the strength of his body, which could easily crush him.
"Oh? Just you? You’re not qualified enough!" Lin Fan said with a scornful sneer.
"No matter how powerful you are, you must die today!"
Liu Zheng bellowed, his feet fiercely stomping the ground, causing cracks to form on the surface. Like a cannonball, he rapidly charged toward Lin Fan.
Seeing this, contempt spread across Lin Fan’s face, then he thrust out his right fist, aiming for Liu Zheng’s chest.
"Bang!"
With one punch, a spray of blood erupted from Lin Fan’s right fist, and Liu Zheng was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. From his mouth spurted a continuous spray of blood, presenting an extremely pitiful sight.
"You... you dare to injure me?"
"You despicable lowlife!" Liu Zheng got up, pointing at Lin Fan and cursing.
Lin Fan snorted coldly and said, "I told you, today you’re not worthy of making me lift a hand, so you better scram!"
"Ha-ha! What an arrogant kid!"
"Today, I shall take your head!" Liu Zheng roared with clenched teeth.
Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered to engage with him any longer and turned to leave.
"Lin Fan! Stop right there!"
