After stabilizing the Spirit-Fixing Disk, Lin Fan released the striped beast, Boss Ge, and Little Yin.
After the striped beast, Boss Ge, and Little Yin came out of the ring space, they surrounded the three people inside the Spirit-Fixing Disk's light screen tightly.
They also used their spells to attack the three people inside the light screen.
Boss Ge was the first to use his best skill, the Blood Soul Banner. With a shake of the banner, three ferocious ghost faces appeared on it. With a few cracking sounds, they opened their eyes and rushed out of the blood banner, charging at the three people inside the light screen.
The three of them were extremely terrified. They immediately raised their celestial liquid shields to block the attacks. The three baleful ghosts were blocked by the celestial liquid shields, but very quickly, crunching sounds could be heard. The three sides of the celestial liquid shields were bitten apart by the baleful ghosts.
After biting through the immortal liquid shields, the three malicious ghosts howled excitedly and bit the three people …
"Ah … damn it!"
"Beast, let go of me!"
The three people let out shrill cries and swung their swords at the malicious ghosts. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. The three malicious ghosts were sent flying by the immortal swords …
Just like a relay race, after Boss Ge's three malicious ghosts were defeated, the striped beast opened its mouth and spat out flames. The flames seemed to be solid and solid as they sprayed at the three people.
One of them was shocked and immediately shouted, "Illusory Body Technique!"
As soon as he said that, the three people's bodies swayed and turned from solid to illusory. The flames that the striped beast spat out swept past them but did not burn them.
At this time, Little Yin attacked.
Little Yin did not have any spells to rely on, so it just waved its ghost claws and pounced at the three people. Seeing Little Yin pounce, the three people immediately turned into solid and raised their swords. The three immortal swords stabbed at Little Yin together, but Little Yin's ghost body suddenly turned illusory.
The three swords all hit empty air.
Little Yin let out a furious scream and turned into solid again. It charged forward with its ghost claws at the person in front.
It directly slashed at him.
That person snorted and turned into an illusory figure, dodging Little Yin's attack. But before he could turn back into solid to attack again …
With a whoosh, his head was directly cut off and blood spurted out.
The person who cut off his head was Boss Ge.
To be precise.
It was Boss Ge's ghost shadow.
When they saw this scene, no matter if it was the two of them, Little Yin, or Elder Ge, all of them were extremely shocked. Obviously, they didn't really dare believe the scene before their eyes.
Even Boss Ge did not expect it. Boss Ge had transformed into a ghostly shadow and rushed over just to avoid being killed. He did not expect that the ghostly shadow he had transformed into could actually destroy the phantom the other party had transformed into.
In other words, the ghostly figure that Boss Ge had transformed into had subverted the Void Transformation of his opponent's "Virtual Body Technique".
The beauty of the Virtual and Corporeal Body Technique was that it could create virtual and corporeal bodies. When it was real, it could be used to attack. When it was real, it could be used for dodging. The two techniques could be changed ingeniously, and it was suitable for both offense and defense.
But now, that cultivator was actually unable to escape Gui Ying's attack after transforming into the void.
"Wah ~ ~" Little Yin immediately understood this and immediately let out an excited howl. It waved its claws and slashed at the other person, who couldn't dodge in time.
At this moment, he almost instinctively turned into the void. However, even though he had turned into a void, he still couldn't escape his fate. His head was sent flying by the ghost claw.
At this moment, the striped beast also became alert and did not wait for the head to fall.
It flew over to catch it in one gulp and swallowed it.
When the remaining person saw this, he was so terrified that he immediately screamed out loud. However, before he could finish his scream, Boss Ge's ghost claw pierced through his throat.
He could no longer make a sound.
This slaughter was a long story.
In reality, it had only taken ten breaths of time. Left Blade, who was watching from the side, was amazed. Big Brother Lin Fan's pet team was actually this powerful!!
Three experts who were stronger than him were actually killed by them.
Most importantly, the strange movement technique used by the three people from the Phantom Sect was actually broken by a Murderous Ghost Puppet.
While Left Blade was still in a daze, Lin Fan had already opened his mouth and ordered … "Take their storage rings."
Boss Ge and Little Yin flew down and took the storage rings from the three corpses and gave them to Lin Fan. Lin Fan rewarded the corpses to Boss Ge, Little Yin, and the striped beast for lunch.
Just as the three of them excitedly went to devour the corpses, Left Blade flew over to Lin Fan and cupped his fists. "Thank you for saving us, Brother Qiang. If Brother Fan hadn't come in time today, I wouldn't have been able to keep my life!"
"We're brothers. Between brothers, there's no need for formalities." Lin Fan waved his hand and put away the Anchor Disk.
At the mention of the word "brother", Left Blade looked ashamed. He lowered his head and shook it. "Brother Fan, I don't deserve to be your brother … When you were fighting for the Heaven's Eye Fruit, you were surrounded by so many people. As your brother, I, I didn't have the ability to help …"
"That's enough!" Lin Fan patted Left Blade's shoulder.
"Brothers who have risked their lives together don't necessarily have to die in vain …"
As Lin Fan spoke, he erased the Divine Sense imprints on the three storage rings he had just collected. Then, he dripped his blood to claim ownership and took out all the things inside. In the three rings, there was a string of human heads, some food, clothes, magic weapons, and medicinal pills …
The three strings of human heads were tied to the dragon tendons, and there were more than a hundred heads on each string. From the cultivation and combat strength of the three practitioners who had just died, it was not difficult to see that a contestant who could cut off more than a hundred heads was already a good result. More than two hundred heads would be considered a top result.
Lin Fan directly threw away the food, clothes, and the like. He threw the magic weapons, medicinal pills, and the string of human heads back into one of the rings and handed it to Left Blade. "This one is yours."
Left Blade was very excited. He had only cut off more than a hundred and forty heads in this competition. He was afraid that he would be eliminated, but he did not expect to gain a blessing in disguise today. He directly obtained more than a hundred heads. However, he did not dare to accept it. He refused and said, "Brother Fan, this, this won't do. This is what you got, I can't take it …"
"If you want to enter the knockout round of the Jie Capital, then take it," Lin Fan said, "There is no need to be so polite between brothers."
Left Blade took it and thanked him. His voice was a little choked up.
He was both happy and guilty. He was happy because he could become Lin Fan's little brother. He was guilty because he was too weak and couldn't help Lin Fan when he was in danger.
Left Blade was about to put the ring on his finger when Lin Fan reminded him, "String the human heads on the dragon tendons. Throw away the extra dragon tendons, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
Left Blade suddenly understood. He thought to himself, 'That's right. Everyone was only given one dragon tendon when they entered the competition. It would be too suspicious if there was an extra dragon tendon. The competition clearly stated that they were not allowed to kill each other.
It was fine to have extra heads, but not dragon tendons. The dragon tendons were evidence of killing their own kind. '
'Ah, Brother Fan is still the smart one. He thinks everything through so thoroughly. It's so good to follow Brother Fan. Brother Fan is really my benefactor …' Left Blade sighed in his heart as he turned to look at Lin Fan.
At this moment, he noticed that Lin Fan was stringing all the human heads he had obtained over the past few days onto a dragon tendon. Left Blade used his divine sense to scan and found that Lin Fan's dragon tendon had exactly five hundred and eighty heads on it.
Left Blade was stunned when he saw this!
According to the previous records of the Anyang Region's knockout rounds, one hundred and fifty heads was a passing score. Two hundred heads was a top score. As for more than two hundred heads, there were people who had achieved it, but it had never exceeded two hundred and fifty.
However, there were five hundred and eighty heads on Lin Fan's dragon tendon.
Five hundred and eighty heads, what kind of concept was that??
This score was too heaven-defying!
This score would probably cause a sensation in the entire Anyang Region!
It might even cause a sensation in the entire Falling Jade Region!!
… Do you know those three people just now?
Their movement skills are very strange. It's a pity that I didn't leave any movement skill manuals in my storage ring. Otherwise, I would have been able to cultivate them, "Lin Fan said to Left Blade with some regret.
"Brother Fan, those three people are from the Phantom Sect. The Phantom Sect is unparalleled in the world with their super movement skills. In the past few decades, they have risen to fame and are now one of the six great sects in the Anyang Region. What they used just now was the Phantom Sect's unique movement skill, the 'Illusory Movement Skill' …"
"Illusory Movement Skill, where the real and the illusory coexist … Hmm, not bad. But it's their bad luck that they met my evil ghosts …" Lin Fan said. With a thought, the striped beast, Old Ge, and Little Yin all flew up and stopped in front of Lin Fan.
The two ferocious-looking ghosts, Old Ge and Little Yin, bowed and stood in front of Lin Fan with their hands clasped behind their backs.
Their attitudes were very respectful.
"Brother Fan, your puppets are really powerful!" Left Blade stared at Old Ge and Little Yin and praised them sincerely.
Lin Fan smiled faintly. With a thought, the striped beast turned into a shadow and attached itself to his back. Old Ge and Little Yin turned into ghosts and burrowed into Lin Fan's storage ring.
"By the way, Left Blade, have you heard of the King of Kun Shan?" Lin Fan asked again.
"The King of Kun Shan … I've heard of him. He's the leader of the Kun Shan Tribe. The Kun Shan Tribe is huge and stretches for thousands of miles. It's located to the east of the world capital, Bi Luo City. Oh, right, if we're lucky enough to participate in the elimination round, the Kun Shan Tribe is a place we must pass by …"
"Then, how powerful is the King of Kun Shan?" Lin Fan asked again.
"It's said that the King of Kun Shan broke through to the Nine Liquids Stage of Perfected Golden Immortal last year. He condensed his liquids into ice and opened up a Purple Palace in his dantian's sea of Qi. Therefore, he should be a Purple Palace Exalted Immortal now …" Left Blade said.
Condensing liquids into ice was the mark of a Perfected Golden Immortal entering the Purple Palace Exalted Immortal realm.
Using immortal ice to build a Purple Palace in one's body was a Purple Palace Exalted Immortal.
"Because the King of Kun Shan is friends with Fang Yuntian, the City Lord of Bi Luo City, and because of his powerful cultivation base, he's the most powerful among the leaders of the tribes in the Bi Luo Boundary.
In other words, he's second to none among the 'kings' of the tribes in the Bi Luo Boundary. Moreover, he's advanced to the Purple Palace Exalted Immortal realm.
Therefore, his current strength is infinitely close to that of a Region Lord … "
"Since the King of Kun Shan is so powerful, why would his son be imprisoned?
Could it be that he can't even protect his son with his strength? "Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Erm, Brother Fan, you're probably talking about the King of Kun Shan's ninth son, Kun Jiuhu, right? Kun Jiuhu has a death wish. That spoiled brat's cultivation base isn't high.
However, he loves to cause trouble and is willing to burn money. It's said that he always has a large amount of one-time use Dharma treasures in his storage ring. They're priceless, and he's relied on these one-time use Dharma treasures to commit all sorts of evil deeds …
"Moreover, he's also a wastrel. A few years ago, he unknowingly took liberties with Hua Luoying, the daughter of Hua Yinxing Region's Region Lord, Hua Tianxia. That Region Lord, Hua Tianxia, flew into a rage and wanted to kill Kun Jiuhu. Kun Jiuhu knew that he had committed a grave crime, so he fled to Bi Luo City under the instructions of his father, the King of Kun Shan.
That's the residence of Bi Luo City's City Lord, Fang Yuntian … "
"When Hua Tianxia chased him to Fang Yuntian's residence, Fang Yuntian pleaded on Kun Jiuhu's behalf. As the City Lord of Bi Luo City, not only is Fang Yuntian's power greater than ordinary City Lords, he's even more powerful than Region Lords. Naturally, Hua Tianxia had to give him some face, so he didn't kill Kun Jiuhu. However, while he could avoid death, he couldn't escape punishment. Hua Tianxia requested that Kun Jiuhu be sent to prison.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment … "
"Fang Yuntian felt that since Kun Jiuhu had committed a crime, he naturally had to take responsibility for it. At that time, he couldn't stop him … Thus, Kun Jiuhu spent the next few years in prison …"
"The Kun Shan Tribe belongs to Huayin Region, right? Kun Jiuhu should be serving his sentence in Huayin Region.
Why did he end up in Anyang Region's prison … "Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Previously, Kun Jiuhu had been serving his sentence in Huayin Region's prison. However, last year, after the King of Kun Shan became a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal, he was transferred from Huayin Region's prison to Anyang Region …" Left Blade said.
Afraid that Lin Fan wouldn't understand, Left Blade explained, "According to the rumors in the pugilistic world, after Hua Tianxia became a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal, his cultivation base became stagnant.
For some unknown reason, he didn't make any breakthroughs in the past few decades, nor did he comprehend any True Intent.
He became a laughingstock in the cultivation world … "
"On the other hand, after the King of Kun Shan became a Violet Palace Exalted Immortal, his cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds. In less than a year, he comprehended the True Intent of Wind. From then on, his Violet Palace Exalted Immortal became even more powerful, and he became invincible amongst cultivators at the same level as him …"
Hua Tianxia, who had always been suppressing the King of Kun Shan, was now being threatened by the King of Kun Shan. There were rumors in the pugilistic world that the King of Kun Shan was going to replace Hua Tianxia as the Governor of Huayin Region … "
"After the King of Kun Shan comprehended the True Intent of Wind, the entire world was shocked. As the saying goes, when a man attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to the Heavens. The King of Kun Shan was afraid that his precious son, Kun Jiuhu, would suffer in the prison under Huayin Region, so he asked Fang Yuntian, the Governor of Jade Drop City, to transfer him to Anyang Region …"
Lin Fan couldn't help but feel enlightened when he heard this. He muttered, "No wonder that red-haired criminal was so arrogant and unbridled. No wonder he could order those criminals around. It turns out that he has an extraordinary identity. He's the ninth son of the King of Kun Shan, Kun Jiuhu. No wonder he has so many single-use Dharma treasures. He's actually a brain-burning and money-burning second-generation heir …"
Seeing that Lin Fan was stunned, Left Blade asked curiously, "Brother Fan, have you seen Kun Jiuhu before?
… "
"I've seen more than that. I killed him!" Lin Fan said indifferently.
Lin Fan was indifferent, but Left Blade couldn't stay calm. He showed a shocked expression and exclaimed, "Ah, Brother Fan, you, you said you killed Kun Jiuhu …?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Lin Fan still looked indifferent, as if Kun Jiuhu was just a pig. So what if he killed him?
It was nothing serious.
"Brother Fan, then you're in trouble. Although Kun Jiuhu is only one of the ten sons of the King of Kun Shan, he dotes on him the most because Kun Jiuhu is the son of his most beloved concubine. If he knows that you killed Kun Jiuhu, who knows how he will take revenge on you …?"
"How would the King of Kun Shan know that I killed Kun Jiuhu?"
"The King of Kun Shan dotes on Kun Jiuhu so much. Naturally, he placed spies around him while he was serving his sentence. Especially in the regional capital knockout competition, all the criminals will encounter the danger of misfortune. Naturally, the King of Kun Shan wouldn't watch his precious son die …" Left Blade looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression. "Brother Fan, you'd better be careful in the future. Especially when you go to the Jie Capital knockout competition, you'll definitely pass by the Kun Shan tribe …"
"Che, those who can kill me, if they aren't born yet, they are already dead." Lin Fan waved his hand in disdain. "Now, I'm actually very interested in the 'True Meaning of Wind' that you mentioned just now. What exactly is the True Meaning of Wind?"
Left Blade scratched his head and said, "It's said that the True Meaning of Wind is a kind of concept. It's something that can't be explained clearly. I've only heard about it, but I've never seen its power …"
Lin Fan understood a little. The True Meaning of Wind was probably a kind of True Meaning. It should be the same as the seven realms in his Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra. However, whether the "concept" or the "True Meaning" was stronger still needed to be further understood.
"But Brother Fan, it's said that the True Meaning is extremely difficult to comprehend. It can only be comprehended after becoming a Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal. However, once a True Meaning is comprehended, one's strength will experience a qualitative leap and reach a mysterious realm. True Meaning is another standard that differentiates a Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal's strength apart from one's level …"
"Take Hua Tianxia and the King of Kun Mountain for example. Although Hua Tianxia became a Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal a few decades before the King of Kun Mountain, his cultivation base should be deeper than the King of Kun Mountain's. However, he's no match for the King of Kun Mountain. In fact, the King of Kun Mountain can even kill a Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal of the Ice Realm. Of course, that's only if the Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal of the Ice Realm has not comprehended the True Meaning …"
Lin Fan nodded and said, "Hmm, the True Meaning should be compatible with the Violet Mansion, right?"
"Yes. The Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal condenses into ice. Using the Immortal Ice in the body to build the Violet Mansion in the Dantian's Sea of Qi, the power of the Violet Mansion will multiply several times. However, the purpose of building the Violet Mansion should be to comprehend the True Meaning …"
The True Meaning that is comprehended has to be hidden. It's not hidden in the mind or the Sea of Qi, but in the Violet Mansion … For example, the King of Kun Mountain's True Meaning of Wind is hidden in his first Violet Mansion. If he hasn't become a Violet Mansion Exalted Immortal and hasn't built the Violet Mansion, he won't be able to hide the True Meaning even if he comprehended it … "
After Left Knife finished speaking, he smiled foolishly and scratched his head. "Brother Fan, isn't it a little confusing?
Even I'm confused by my own words, let alone you. "
"No, I understand. It's a very simple principle …" Lin Fan smiled faintly.
"Alright, I've wasted so many of your brain cells. Let me treat you to a barbecue …"
"Barbecue? That's great …" Left Knife was overjoyed when he heard that Lin Fan wanted to cook a barbecue.
He even started drooling when he thought about the taste of the barbecue Lin Fan used to cook.
He said hurriedly, "I'll go hunt some wild animals …"
"Don't be delusional. There are no wild animals in the Beast Corpse Mountain Range … Even if there were, they would have been eaten by the corpses and zombies."
Lin Fan patted Left Knife's shoulder and smiled. Then, with a flip of his right hand, he took out beef jerky and wine from his Sumeru Ring and gave them to Left Knife.
In the past half a month, Left Knife had eaten and drunk all the dry food and water he brought. Seeing that Lin Fan still had beef jerky and wine left, he couldn't help but be surprised. He said in surprise, "Eh?
Brother Fan.
Why do you still have so much food … You haven't eaten anything these days? "
Lin Fan smiled and said, "To be honest, I've been cultivating for the past week. When I came out a week later, I happened to see the Heaven's Eye Fruit ripen. The next few days were the Heaven's Eye Fruit. Then, I cultivated for a few days. To be honest, I haven't eaten anything these days …"
"Brother Fan, then … how did you get the heads of these criminals …" Left Knife understood the meaning of Lin Fan's words.
In the past half a month, he hadn't killed any criminals. Left Knife became more and more surprised.
He pointed to Lin Fan's storage ring and said.
"These heads were all taken from the hands of cultivators like just now …" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Uh …" Left Knife suddenly understood and smiled.
"Brother Fan, today I finally understand what it means to be a big fish eating a small fish, and a small fish eating shrimps …"
"It's good that you understand. However, if you want to eat a small fish, you have to be a big fish.
If you want to be a big fish, you have to cultivate hard. Good luck, brother … "Lin Fan handed over a piece of beef jerky.
"Hey, Brother Fan, I'll cultivate hard in the future. I won't let you down." Left Knife took a bite of the beef jerky.
The two of them sat down and began to eat and drink.
As Lin Fan ate and drank, he opened his Heaven's Eye to observe the surroundings. At this time, he discovered that the contestants had begun to return, heading in the direction of Anyang City. According to the rules, all the contestants had to return to Anyang City before nightfall because the region city knockout competition would end today.
However, the contestants didn't fly. Instead, they walked because there was still an afternoon before nightfall. They might be able to take a few more heads during this time.
Soon, Lin Fan spotted Reverend Zi Yang's figure. He and his disciples were also on their way back. There were seven of them in total, and all of them were quite strong. Lin Fan wanted to use this opportunity to kill Reverend Zi Yang, but he wasn't completely confident, so he gave up. He continued to search with his Heaven's Eye and soon found Sky Elder.
Unlike Reverend Zi Yang, Sky Elder was alone. Moreover, Sky Elder was not returning. Instead, he was fighting a zombie in a gloomy valley. Judging from the situation of the battle, it was not the zombie that was fighting Sky Elder, but Sky Elder was fighting the zombie.
The zombie was very powerful. With Sky Elder's strength, it would be very difficult to kill it. He might even be killed if he wasn't careful. However, Sky Elder was very persistent. It seemed like he wouldn't give up until he killed the zombie.
"That's strange. Why is he competing with a zombie?
Could it be that the zombie has some kind of treasure? "
Lin Fan thought to himself. He used his Heaven's Eye to carefully examine the zombie. "There doesn't seem to be any treasure …"
"Hmm, why don't I go take a look and take the opportunity to kill that old man? That golden storage bag in his hand is very good. If I can get it, I should be able to exchange it for a lot of money …"
With that thought, Lin Fan said to Left Blade, "Brother, let's go. While we still have some time, let's go kill someone."
When Left Blade heard this, he did not ask anything and immediately nodded in agreement. Now, even if Lin Fan asked him to kill someone, he would not hesitate because his life was Lin Fan's.
Seeing that Left Blade agreed, Lin Fan waved his hand and the ring on his hand lit up. Two red flying swords were thrown out and suspended above his knees.
"Come on up." Lin Fan took the lead and jumped onto the red flying sword. Seeing this, Left Blade also jumped on. Then, the red flying sword burst into flames and carried the two of them. With a whoosh, it rose into the air. Following Lin Fan's finger, it flew rapidly in the direction where Sky Elder was fighting the zombie.
"Left Blade, are there any precious things on those zombies?
For example, something like an Inner Core …? "Lin Fan asked while flying on the sword.
Left Blade said, "I haven't heard of anything precious. The zombies only have an extremely strong Evil Yin Qi. The Evil Yin Qi is a terrible thing for practitioners, especially those who don't have a Fire Spiritual Root. It's so terrible that it can be fatal …"
Lin Fan thought, "Yes, the Evil Yin Qi has entered the body. If there is no Fire Spiritual Force to expel it, you will only be frozen to death by the Evil Yin Qi."
From the looks of it, Elder Tian shouldn't have fought with the zombie endlessly. That was something that would only bring harm and no benefit.
However, after several contacts, Lin Fan knew that Sky Elder was not a simple-minded person. He was shrewd and scheming, and no one could compare with him.
Therefore, the more abnormal his behavior was, the more Lin Fan felt that he had a premeditated plan.
After consuming the two red flying swords, Lin Fan and Left Blade approached the cave where Sky Elder and the zombie were fighting. Lin Fan didn't directly take Left Blade to kill the zombie. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. As the oriole, he naturally knew how to seize the opportunity to attack.
