"Hahahaha..."
Qin Yang clutched his stomach, nearly laughing himself to death. If not for having to maintain so semblance of dignity, he would have rolled on the floor.
"You’re quite the amusing one. Want to have another go? First, check if your Immortal Sword is still intact before talking big."
As he said these words,
Qin Yang deliberately pretended to imitate Mie Sheng’s current deanor.
"Co, let’s duel again."
"Oh no, why did my Immortal Sword break?"
"Hahaha."
To be honest,
his imitation was surprisingly on point.
Xiang Fei looked at Qin Yang with pity. Why bother? Isn’t living a good life enough?
Why deliberately provoke others for no reason?
The man hadn’t even done anything excessively cruel to you. If you ask him, just watch quietly, don’t speak, don’t provoke—pretend you’re just passing by.
Mie Sheng heard Qin Yang’s mocking words.
But he didn’t take them to heart.
In his mind, that man was already marked for death. The only question was when.
"Apologies, I didn’t an to. I accidentally broke your Immortal Sword. How about this? To show my sincerity in apologizing, I’m willing to let you leave." Lin Fan said.
"Don’t squander such a rare opportunity. Granted, I am quite kindhearted, but in this situation, for to show such generosity isn’t sothing that happens often."
This was the first ti Mie Sheng had faced such a scenario.
Though his face showed no expression, he was genuinely enraged.
Buzz!
Buzz!
The walls of the Abyss trembled as countless fragnts fell from above.
Cracks spread along the ground.
An astonishingly oppressive aura exploded outward centered on Mie Sheng, his montum surging ever higher. Even with his Immortal Sword shattered, it didn’t diminish his resolve.
Suddenly,
An extre and terrifying killing intent erupted forth.
It even condensed into an illusory apparition.
"Sacrificing oneself for the greater good, slaying all under heaven—since stepping onto this path, no one has ever forced to use such a horrifying move."
"But you’re impressive."
"I, Mie Sheng, acknowledge your strength."
As soon as his words fell,
a beam of light descended from the heavens, enveloping Mie Sheng, obscuring his figure entirely.
"Such overwhelming strength!"
Xiang Fei exclaid in awe. While he had encountered many exceptional talents before, soone like Mie Sheng was rare—his power was beyond imagination. He couldn’t even ascertain which major faction Mie Sheng hailed from.
"Brother Qin, did you see that? The opponent is imnsely strong. You need to be careful. Sotis, there’s truly no need to provoke unnecessary enemies."
He was cautioning Qin Yang for his own good.
But Qin Yang dismissed it casually, "What’s there to fear? He’s not even Brother Lin’s match. I refuse to believe he can ascend to the heavens. Don’t let his current ferocity mislead you—he’s already been pressured into using his ultimate moves by Brother Lin."
Xiang Fei silently berated himself, wishing he could slap his own face.
Next ti he tries to persuade Qin Yang not to provoke more enemies, he’ll dig a hole and bury himself in it.
At this mont,
Lin Fan stared seriously at Mie Sheng. His opponent seed determined, so Lin Fan had to appear attentive; acting frivolous would clearly be disrespectful.
He wasn’t that kind of person.
Boom!
In an instant,
Mie Sheng transford into a sword capable of cutting through all creation and charged at Lin Fan. The Abyss was unable to withstand such terrifying force, and with one strike, it was cleaved in two.
As the longsword approached,
Lin Fan raised his hand, his five fingers wrapped in Demon Crossing Scripture. With a resounding bang, a deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth as his five fingers grasped the sword tightly. A massive shockwave erupted and slamd into the wall behind.
The cliff wall shattered, forming a new passageway.
Qin Yang and the others staggered backward, unable to withstand the impact.
The sheer power was overwhelming.
"How is this possible!"
Mie Sheng perceived what was happening around him and couldn’t believe his eyes. He let out an angry roar, his mana surging wildly, determined to obliterate everything before him.
But very soon,
he noticed Lin Fan standing there with a grin, his hand firmly clutching the sword that Mie Sheng had transford into, completely unyielding.
In monts like this, what was there to do?
Most people would need a few seconds to deliberate.
But for a strong individual like him, he only needed to grasp the situation’s beginning to know precisely what action to take.
"You’re ruthless."
"See you again if fate allows."
Cold and detached, Mie Sheng had never imagined he’d face a day where he’d have to flee. But when that day arrived, he didn’t hesitate. Treasures or not—those were re delusions.
Staying alive was what truly mattered.
Lin Fan’s fingers clenched tight, shattering the condensed sword. Then, with a sharp motion, he swept it towards the distance. Mie Sheng swiftly fled, his figure morphing endlessly, making it impossible to capture his movents.
The attack missed; he failed to kill him.
"What a pity!"
Lin Fan gazed into the distance, wanting to chat further with the opponent. But to his surprise, the man directly bolted away, far too cowardly for soone whose aura monts ago was so imposing.
It was truly unexpected.
The disappointnt was palpable.
"Damn it! Wasn’t that guy acting all tough just now? To end up cowering and running this fast—what a bloody disgrace," Qin Yang cursed unabashed. That overwhelming aura earlier had even left him feeling unsettled under its residual impact.
But unexpectedly,
The guy knew he couldn’t win and fled outright.
He had been planning to teach the man a lesson once Brother Lin subdued him, showing him that arrogance alone wouldn’t resolve problems.
Lin Fan remarked, "He ran fast."
"The opponent is strong," Xiang Fei comnted.
Lin Fan asked, "Did you manage to discern his origins? His divine skills were potent. If it were you facing him without using a Holy Weapon, you wouldn’t stand a chance."
Xiang Fei shook his head, "Couldn’t tell. The divine skills he used were unfamiliar, but I have a suspicion—not sure if it’s correct."
Qin Yang interjected, "If you’ve got a guess, just spit it out. Why act so mysterious?"
"I suspect he might be connected to the Heavenly Gang organization," Xiang Fei said. The opponent’s divine skills were too sharp, eerily similar to what he had inferred.
Lin Fan said, "You an that organization—the Earth-Gang or Heavenly-Gang thing?"
"Exactly, but the specifics are still unclear," Xiang Fei replied solemnly. That was the impression he got of Mie Sheng.
After fighting against mbers of the Heavenly Gang before,
he had a deep understanding of their aggressive techniques.
That said,
Their skill level was far below what he had just witnessed from Mie Sheng.
Han Li couldn’t get a word in.
He desperately wanted to ask,
"What are you all even talking about?"
Why couldn’t he understand a single thing?
Maybe the concepts they were discussing were incredibly profound, but if they didn’t mind, could they explain it to him? He, too, wanted to strengthen their camaraderie. After all, the strength they demonstrated earlier was truly astonishing.
He wanted to build connections with these companions.
Lin Fan remarked, "Your perception is usually accurate. I imagine it’s probably correct. But it doesn’t matter—if they co from Heavenly Gang, so be it. If we encounter them next ti, we absolutely cannot let them escape. It’ll be necessary to interrogate thoroughly."
"If your guess proves correct, then with one of them in our hands, it’d serve as a great bargaining chip in future dealings with the Heavenly Gang organization."
Lin Fan walked toward the distance.
An ancient Immortal Sword stood silently embedded in the ground.
All of this began because of it.
It even led to a remarkable talent dying here.
What a pity.
He pulled the ancient Immortal Sword from the ground and examined it closely.
[Floating Water Plant Immortal Sword: A half-step Immortal Venerable’s personal sword. The Artifact Spirit is deceased. Its utility is limited, but it carries an ancient aura—useful for intimidation and deception against others.]
"This..."
Lin Fan felt slightly exasperated by this revelation.
All of that fighting and chaos had been over this Immortal Sword, and now it tells him the sword wasn’t anything special!
If an ordinary person learned this,
They’d probably spit out a mouthful of blood in frustration.
"Brother Lin, how is it? What’s so special about this Immortal Sword?" Qin Yang walked over curiously, seemingly intrigued by the item that had sparked such conflict.
Lin Fan casually tossed the Immortal Sword to Qin Yang, "See for yourself."
Qin Yang took it and inspected it intently, "Good stuff! This is truly good stuff. The aura clinging to it feels extraordinary—the ancient quality, an Ancient Sword indeed."
"Brother Xiang, take a look at this Ancient Sword. What do you think?"
Though he said this, he ultimately mimicked Lin Fan and tossed the Ancient Sword casually to Xiang Fei.
In his view,
The sword was utterly useless.
If it were truly valuable, there’s no way Brother Lin would’ve acted so indifferent toward it.
Lin Fan glanced around, feeling disappointed. Despite traveling so far, their gains had been ager. All this Heavenly Secret Realm yielded were a few drops of Immortal Origin Liquid.
It wasn’t at all what he had hoped for.
Suddenly,
His gaze was drawn to the location of the previous burial mound.
He wouldn’t have paid that area any special attention otherwise.
But what surprised him was that, due to the earlier battle, the burial mound was destroyed, exposing sothing hidden within.
"What’s this?"
Lin Fan approached the edge of the mound and saw a circular stone embedded within.
The stone appeared extrely ancient.
The patterns engraved on it were intricate and incomprehensible.
It looked like patterns from another world.
As he examined it closely,
At the center of the circular stone was a groove, seemingly ant to hold a specific item.
What that item was,
He touched it curiously to find out.
[Breaking Realm Transfer Stone: Yin Yang pair. This is the Yin Stone, forrly used for rebirth and cultivation reset, capable of only one-ti usage, already expended. If combined with the Yang Stone, it can break through realms and allow escape.]
Lin Fan’s expression shifted slightly.
Breaking realms?
So this ans that if he could find the Yang Stone, he’d be able to return to the cultivation world.
It looked like that might really be the case.
Right now, he felt an intense yearning for the cultivation world. Truthfully, he missed it dearly and truly wanted to return.
But regrettably,
He had yet to discover a way.
Now, seeing this glimr of hope, he wouldn’t let it slip through his fingers.
Qin Yang asked, "Brother Lin, what is this thing?"
Lin Fan replied, "Sothing good."
He then directly pulled the circular stone out of the ground, and without further study, stored it into his storage ring.
The formidable cultivator who erected this burial mound might not even be dead; perhaps he had used this item to reincarnate back into the cultivation world—it wasn’t entirely implausible.
As for the Yang Stone’s location,
That was unclear.
If it were in the Immortal Realm, then finding it might be manageable, but if it were in the cultivation world... that would be an entirely different dilemma.
