Looking at the continuously collapsing magical beasts, Lin Fan's gaze turned cold; there were quite a few of them.
Behind him, a continuous stream of magical beasts surged toward the Ice Valley. He released his divine sense and sensed the snow dust in the distance, which engulfed the figures of the beast horde. Observing the number, this wave of beasts numbered at least several hundred.
"That's ruthless!"
If hundreds of magical beasts rush in, the poison that paralyzes them can only stop some; the dosage is insufficient to stop them all.
"What should we do, Senior Brother Lin?" Murong Xuanqiu asked anxiously, grabbing his sleeve.
Lin Fan glanced at the surroundings, took down the carriage frame of Jueying, patted its head, and said, "Go, you're free now."
After letting Jueying go, he hid with his two junior sisters, then set up a concealment array and sprinkled some fourth-tier magical beast excrement outside the array.
Hundreds of monsters charged wildly, turning the entire ice valley into chaos.
Long Aotian, Wu Qiankun, and Lin Yuetian appeared outside the Ice Valley. Looking at the chaotic scene, they couldn't help but show a smug expression.
"This is the Beast King Pearl. As long as we have it, we can control these rampaging magical beasts!"
Wu Qiankun took out a blood-red inner core, which exuded an extremely powerful aura, and one could vaguely hear the angry roar of a beast king.
Long ago, in order to control these demonic beasts, the demons hunted down a Beast King and imprisoned its soul in its inner core. As long as they could control the Beast King Pearl, they could directly monitor the low-level demonic beasts nearby.
"Haha, this time it's a dragon charging right at my face, how could I possibly lose!" Long Aotian laughed coldly. With hundreds of third and fourth-tier magical beasts charging at him, no matter how strong they were, they would be trampled into mincemeat.
They walked with an air of indifference, and the surrounding demonic beasts, due to the oppressive aura released by the Beast King's soul, all parted to make way for them.
"No trace of them?" Wu Qiankun's expression changed drastically. He couldn't detect Lin Fan's presence in the Ice Valley. The three of them seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"It's alright, with me here, they have nowhere to hide!" Long Aotian said arrogantly.
He summoned the Evil Dragon Relic, which floated high above the Ice Valley, releasing a powerful and abundant demonic energy. In an instant, the world darkened, and the demonic energy blotted out the sun, covering the entire Ice Valley.
The talisman array that Lin Fan and his two companions had hidden was corroded by demonic energy and exposed to the air, flickering with transparent waves.
Upon seeing this, Long Aotian smiled strangely and pointed in a direction. Wu Qiankun understood his meaning and then used the Beast King Pearl to control several fourth-order magical beasts to charge forward.
"boom!"
The rune array shattered, and the three quickly dodged, standing horizontally in the void.
"Wu Qiankun, Long Aotian, do you want to betray the sect?" Chu Yunying shouted.
Her gaze was cold, radiating intense killing intent.
"Since things have come to this point, there's no need for me to hide anything anymore. My only purpose here is to kill Lin Fan. You all step aside, and perhaps I'll spare your lives," Long Aotian said coldly.
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he would tear Lin Fan to pieces, and no one could stop him.
Chu Yunying wanted to say something more, but Lin Fan stopped her.
“He has fallen into demonic ways, there’s no need to waste any more words on him.”
Lin Fan raised his head, looked coldly at Long Aotian, and said calmly, "Only three people came and you want to take my life? You think too highly of yourselves!"
Long Aotian withdrew his gaze from Chu Yunying and looked at Lin Fan with murderous intent and resentment.
"All the magical beasts in the Ice Valley are under our control. When you die, no matter how much we investigate, it won't be my responsibility. The investigation will only conclude that you died because of a magical beast riot!"
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth turned back at a 45-degree angle, his smile carrying three parts indifference, four parts arrogance, and seven parts disdain.
"Smack!"
As he grinned, an invisible handprint struck his face, sending him flying.
"Thank goodness, I managed to knock him away in time. He almost got a crooked mouth." Lin Fan muttered. This kind of chosen one has a crooked mouth amplification, so we can't let him succeed.
Long Aotian crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a furious and powerless roar. His blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lin Fan..."
His eyes widened, bloodshot, and he spoke through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly.
"Who do you think you are? I can beat you up if I want. My polite words to you in the sect were just an act to play along," Lin Fan said coldly.
Suddenly his figure vanished, leaving only a blur in place. His true form instantly appeared above Long Aotian and swiftly reached out to grab his head.
He was fast, giving his opponent no chance. This fool, even at the point of life and death, was still thinking about showing off and making empty boasts. When he dies, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.
Long Aotian sensed that Lin Fan was at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Seeing the five eagle-claw-like fingers tearing through space and creating dazzling light through friction with the air, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body and his heart almost stopped beating.
Buzz
An invisible and powerful demonic aura emanated from the top of his head. It was a black bead that released endless cold killing intent and blocked Lin Fan's attack.
Several beams of black light erupted from the Evil Dragon Relic, cutting through space like sharp swords.
The collision of Dragon Soul Sword Qi and Demonic Qi sparked intense flames, and Long Aotian was so dizzy from the aftershocks of the battle that his head was embedded in the mud.
Lin Fan was forced back several steps, staring in astonishment at the Evil Dragon Relic. When did this thing become so protective of its master? In his previous life, he had also obtained the Evil Dragon Relic, and he remembered that this thing had never automatically protected itself when in danger.
call out
A black light ripped through the space, and the Evil Dragon Relic released a dense black mist, falling like a meteorite, carrying immense power as it attacked.
Lin Fan summoned the Immortal Execution Sword, and powerful spiritual energy burst forth from its blade, clashing fiercely with the Evil Dragon Relic.
Two forces raged, whipping up gusts of wind. To deal with such evil monsters, it was indeed best to rely on ancient divine weapons; his physical body simply couldn't withstand a direct confrontation.
The Zhuxian Sword unleashed its boundless power, forcefully repelling the Evil Dragon Relic.
The evil dragon relic merged back into Long Aotian's head, and demonic energy instantly flowed through his limbs and bones, tempering his spiritual veins and physique. His aura rose again, soaring from the third level of the Nascent Soul stage to the sixth level.
The fusion between Long Aotian and the Evil Dragon Relic reached its peak, with even his soul becoming tightly integrated with it.
Lin Fan's lips twitched. This guy's luck is too heaven-defying. He advances when he encounters a strong opponent and breaks through whenever he wants. No wonder the damn system can't handle him.
"Could it be that Long Aotian has more potential to be a villain than I do?"
He looked at Long Aotian, who was emanating demonic energy. The fact that the Evil Dragon Relic could automatically protect its master showed that he and this demonic creature had a very high degree of compatibility. As expected of the protagonist, he was good at both immortal and demonic things, and his main characteristic was that he accepted everything.
Wu Qiankun and Lin Yuetian attacked together, using their strongest trump cards to force Lin Fan back and protect Long Aotian behind them.
"Lin Yuetian, do you also want to betray the sect and fall into the demonic path?" Murong Xuanqiu coldly shouted.
She had long disliked this effeminate man, and if Lin Yuetian really joined forces with Long Aotian and willingly degenerated, she would not hesitate to expel him from the family.
"Hmph, whether someone is a god or a demon is not something you can decide with just your words."
Lin Yuetian didn't take Murong Xuanqiu's words to heart at all. In his eyes, although Murong Xuanqiu was also a chief, she was still a woman without her own thoughts and only wanted to fall in love.
Murong Xuanqiu snorted coldly, not wanting to say anything more. Since he was so stubborn, he would use his sword to send him to be reborn.
Long Aotian spat out a mouthful of blood, with several front teeth still attached. He glared fiercely at Lin Fan, his hair disheveled and his face contorted in a ferocious expression.
"You're dead!"
Wu Qiankun raised the Beast King's Blood, intending to control the beast horde, but found that all the demonic beasts were in a riot and were completely out of their control!
"What happened?"
He chanted a spell, and the beast king's soul let out painful howls and roars, but he still couldn't control the monster.
"You're not obeying me anymore, are you? You're just an ordinary beast king's soul after all!" Lin Fan sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"Meow..."
Xiao Bai's voice came from behind him. Sometime during the day, it jumped onto Lin Fan's shoulder and stuck out its tongue to suck on his face.
With the bloodline of the White Tiger Divine Beast, Xiao Bai's mere bloodline suppression was enough to make those magical beasts tremble in fear, so they couldn't possibly heed the commands of the Beast King's soul.
Little White's fur grew even whiter and shinier, and it kept stretching its head to stroke Lin Fan's palm.
Its aura is very strong. After awakening its bloodline, it grows extremely fast. Its blood energy is vigorous, and it already has the power of the peak of the third rank. One more step and it will be able to break through to the fourth rank.
Lin Fan seemed confident of victory. Despite all the unfavorable conditions, the far north was in chaos, and the most numerous creatures were still magical beasts.
Even if he knew that Wu Qiankun was not a beast tamer, he still had to include the magical beasts of the far north in his calculations. Using Xiaobai to intimidate them was the best option.
Wu Qiankun's face was cold and his eyes were gloomy. Although he didn't know why the beast horde had gone out of control, he still had a backup plan!
He took out a jade slip, crushed it, and sent out a signal before disappearing into the void.
The next moment, the entire ice valley was shrouded in endless darkness, with black mist devouring the light and filled with an evil aura.
Ripples spread through the void, and wisps of black mist appeared out of thin air, while blue flames burned, like a pair of eerie eyes staring at them.
There were a total of seventeen black mists, and the number of demons was even greater than that in the ice cave that day. There were three Nascent Soul stage experts alone.
They valued Long Aotian highly, but they also cared a lot about Lin Fan, a formidable rival. Since they wanted to kill him, they would definitely go all out and not give the latter any chance to survive.
The demon unleashed a vast and oppressive force, causing the space to hum and the icy valley to tremble.
Lin Fan was not surprised to see the demon appear. He had been listening to Wu Qiankun and the demon discuss their plan.
"Senior Brother Lin, are those will-o'-the-wisps demons?" Murong Xuanqiu looked at the clusters of blue flames with curiosity, his eyes pure and bright, like a curious child, without any nervousness.
"Wu Qiankun, if you think you're the only one who knows how to call for help, you're sorely mistaken," Lin Fan said dismissively.
He tossed the array diagram given to him by the sect leader into the air, quickly forming hand seals and continuously channeling spiritual energy into the diagram.
A beam of intense light shot into the sky, causing the space to tremble, and two figures slowly emerged from the pillar of light.
Long Aotian, Wu Qiankun, and Lin Yuetian narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw the newcomer's face.
