Chapter 412: Lin Fan Battles the Holy Daughter, Counterattack on the Immortal Island! (Part 1)
Chapter 412: Lin Fan Battles the Holy Daughter, Counterattack on the Immortal Island! (Part 1)
Lin Fan's eyes twitched slightly.
Gu Xinglian's strength was completely beyond his expectations.
Although he had witnessed the power of Marquis-level experts on more than one occasion, it was evident that only by facing one directly could he truly comprehend their might.
A single probe caused Lin Fan to feel an exhilarating thrill from head to toe.
"Be careful, Senior!"
Lin Fan was now certain that such an existence would undoubtedly withstand his entire offensive onslaught.
Therefore, he could unleash his attacks without reservation, fully displaying the limits of his current combat prowess.
It would also provide him with a clearer understanding of the gap between his current strength and that of a Marquis-level opponent.
"Feel free to attack."
"Today, I shall guide you as a senior."
Gu Xinglian smiled slightly, clasping her hands behind her back as if pointing out the wonders of the world.
As for the warning... she took it as a joke and didn't give it much thought.
What is there to be careful about? Even if you temporarily possess the power of the Ninth Stage Peak, could you possibly threaten or even injure me?
It was ridiculous!
However...
Lin Fan's next strike instantly made her eyelids twitch in surprise.
"Black Hole Fist!"
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
Boom!
Lin Fan unleashed both fists simultaneously, like two dragons emerging from the sea, advancing side by side. One hand was as dark as ink, and wherever the other fist passed, time seemed to blur.
"!!!"
This young man was truly terrifying.
Gu Xinglian was astonished.
She had extensive knowledge and experience, but it was her first time witnessing a Fourth Layer Ninth Stage expert unleash such formidable power.
Break!
She extended her slender jade-like finger.
Although it appeared delicate and fragile, at this moment, it seemed capable of piercing through everything in heaven and earth.
Boom!
Like a ferocious beast sweeping through, Lin Fan retreated, and both of his attacks were engulfed and devoured.
"..."
"Impressive."
Lin Fan praised, not lingering.
You want to swallow? Then... I'll do the same! In an instant, the Moon Devouring Divine Art and Heaven Devouring Demon Art were activated to their fullest, and at this moment, Lin Fan became even more like a black hole, his terrifying suction force surpassing others' comprehension.
Whoosh!
Everything visible to the naked eye rushed towards Lin Fan in an instant, including the distant mountains that crumbled and fragmented, turning into countless pieces that vied to fly towards him.
Even spiritual energy, air...
and Gu Xinglian herself, were momentarily unaware, as they all surged towards Lin Fan. Although she reacted swiftly, using her power to stabilize her body, the distance between them rapidly closed.
Swish!
Lin Fan instantly shifted his position, appearing behind Gu Xinglian as if he had teleported.
Gu Xinglian reacted swiftly.
She turned around to counterattack.
However, her strike passed through Lin Fan's body, as if hitting empty air, and she felt no resistance, even passing through him.
"..."
Gu Xinglian remained calm.
"Oh?!"
"You know this technique too?"
She was surprised yet composed, keeping her eyes fixed on Lin Fan, awaiting his next move.
She was familiar with Xiao Ling'er's 'Divine Might,' and seeing that Lin Fan also knew it, she was only slightly surprised but not alarmed.
"Not bad."
"With the skills you've displayed so far, you can already challenge ordinary peak experts."
"If you grasp the timing well, you can even defeat them."
"But to kill those guys, it's still a bit challenging. You'll need more powerful techniques."
"Do you... have more?"
"....."
"Moonlight Illuminating the Sky!"
Lin Fan let out a low shout.
Instantly, a round blue moon appeared in the sky, but this moon was entirely azure.
The moonlight was instantly absorbed by Lin Fan, and the excess energy condensed into a set of blue armor on his body, enhancing his offensive and defensive capabilities.
"Huh?"
Gu Xinglian was surprised once again: "This isn't the Bright Moon Sect's Bright Moon..."
"No!"
"The Bright Moon isn't blue, and moreover, the moonlight falling on your body..."
She raised her hand.
To her surprise, her hand became blurry, and she felt a peculiar corrosive or devouring force consuming the spiritual energy within her body.
"A bizarre devouring power."
"Interesting."
"..."
Lin Fan remained silent.
But this move was indeed inspired by the Bright Moon Sect's secret technique.
He didn't know what the moonlight would look like.
In his imagination, the moon of the Yin Star in the Immortal Realm would be incredibly powerful, providing all-around attribute enhancement, and some 'damage' wouldn't be unusual.
Moreover, it was continuous damage!
Continuously targeting the enemy while strengthening oneself, narrowing the gap between them.
"When soldiers meet!"
At the same time, Lin Fan unleashed the Nine Secrets! Although he hadn't created all nine, he had already perfected the When Soldiers Meet secret.
Simultaneously, he stepped on the Walking Secret, his body resembling a ghost.
"Flower Blossom with a Single Thought!"
Countless immortal flowers bloomed.
One by one, the flower incarnations stepped forward, but this was just the beginning! In the next instant, all the flower incarnations, along with Lin Fan's main body, shouted in unison: "Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body!"
Boom!
Thunder rumbled.
Lin Fan's power surged once again!
At this moment, almost every incarnation and clone possessed the strength he had before his true burst.
Nearly a hundred thousand Lin Fans surrounded Gu Xinglian at this moment.
"..."
Gu Xinglian's lips twitched slightly, but she maintained her composure, still floating in the air with her hands clasped behind her back, and said, "Interesting."
"With these skills, you can already defeat ordinary peak experts."
"But for stronger opponents, or Marquis-level ones, it's still not enough."
"Naturally."
Lin Fan's main body smiled: "So, I have no intention of holding back. Please guide me, Senior."
"Huff!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath: "Kunpeng Technique!"
All the clones and incarnations shouted in unison: "Kunpeng Technique!"
At this moment, Gu Xinglian felt a chill run down her spine.
Before she could think further, the sky was already filled with countless Kunpeng silhouettes!
In the Northern Abyss, there is a fish called Kun...
The giant fish stirred up terrifying waves, and in an instant, it transformed into a Peng, unleashing a torrent of heavenly waves and countless laws towards Gu Xinglian.
Gu Xinglian's face trembled...
After all...
This wasn't just a single Kunpeng attack.
It was a whole flock!
Tens of thousands of them!!!
They blotted out the sun and moon!!!
At a glance, the entire world seemed to be filled with Kunpengs! A true 360-degree display of the Qilin Law!
The 'special effects' were so 'rich' that even the sunlight was blocked out~!
In almost an instant, Gu Xinglian felt her legs go soft, and she nearly lost control and unleashed the Sky Gazing Mirror in retaliation!
But then, she thought again...
Wait a minute!
I have to pretend!
I'll endure it even if I can't!
She had come to test the younger generation's tolerance and strength, but before they could even engage in a proper fight, she was about to use the Sky Gazing Mirror, a sacred artifact of the sect?
What does this mean?
It means I'm not good enough!
I can't take it!
So, does she still want to save face?
No way!
Endure!
Endure even if I can't!
How can I lose face like this?
Boom!
In the instant she made up her mind, the terrifying offensive had already overwhelmed Gu Xinglian.
In that moment, she was like a small boat in a vast ocean, and with just a 'clash', she had no idea how many Kunpeng Fists she had endured!
Fortunately, she had been prepared and acted in advance to defend herself, but even so, she was still shaken to the core, her teeth clenched tightly.
She almost lost control of her expression!
Fortunately...
She was strong enough, and fierce enough.
She managed to endure this wave of attacks, and on the surface, she seemed completely fine.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Not bad."
"Again?"
Her words were casual, but she almost bit through her silver teeth.
"This kid is too much!"
"Isn't her true cultivation level only the Fourth Layer of the Ninth Stage?"
"To unleash such an offensive, even those ranked at the peak of the Ninth Stage might not be able to withstand it!"
"Even we Marquises, if we don't use our sacred artifacts, would have to be cautious."
"This kid..."
"He's not just a freak, he's a true freak."
"But that's probably his limit, right?"
As she thought this, she said, "No other tricks? That's good."
"At such a young age and cultivation level, to have such formidable combat power is already impressive."
"Looking back at the past and future, those who can surpass you are probably as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, and there might not even be a few."
Hearing her speak so casually, Lin Fan blinked, "Huh?"
"What?"
"No, I mean... I can still fight."
"Is that it?"
Gu Xinglian: "..."
She was almost driven mad.
This kid still had more tricks up his sleeve?
This this this...
If they continued...
She really didn't want to go on. If she kept playing, she might show fatigue or even be humiliated!
That wouldn't look good.
But it also didn't seem right to ask him to stop.
"..."
"I understand."
She forced herself to remain calm, "Come on."
"Let me see how much tolerance you have left."
"Yes, Senior."
Lin Fan was 'obedient'.
He didn't know Gu Xinglian's current state.
But in his eyes, how could the Empress of Ten Thousand Flowers be so weak?
Her strength must be as deep as the Heavenly Abyss, and his skills were completely out of his league. There was no way he could hurt her.
So...
Go all out!
Lin Fan unleashed his full power.
"Liu Fan's Law!"
Nearly a hundred thousand Lin Fans went wild.
"..."
Gu Xinglian's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
But she could only grit her teeth and endure.
Boom!!!
Another intense clash.
Gu Xinglian 'perfectly' defended, 'without a scratch'!
"Not bad."
"With such skills, you can barely enter the eyes of a Marquis, and most at the peak of the Ninth Stage are no match for you."
"But against a Marquis, it's still not enough."
"So, never be arrogant or overconfident, and don't think you're extraordinary."
"Being cautious and careful is never wrong."
"You speak the truth!" Lin Fan nodded, humbly accepting the advice, but then added, "But I still have a few more tricks..."
Gu Xinglian: "Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)？？？！"
More... more?
My hands, which were behind my back, are still shaking, and you want more? No, do you want to kill me?
This is simply outrageous!
And...
Just how freakish are you, kid?!
Gu Xinglian almost gasped in shock, then said, "No need."
"I know you have other tricks, and from your previous display, I can estimate your power gap."
"Although it's not bad, the difference isn't that great, and it matches my conclusion."
"So, there's no need to waste time."
"Just now, an elder contacted me about an urgent matter, so I can't play with you anymore."
It was obvious she was asking him to leave!
How clever Lin Fan was, he instantly realized Gu Xinglian was trying to get rid of him, so he laughed and replied, "With a Marquis's insight, there's no mistake."
"Speaking of which, I also remembered something urgent, so I'll take my leave."
As he spoke, the numerous Lin Fan clones and illusions all dissipated.
After that, neither of them said much more.
After a brief chat, Gu Xinglian sent him out and had a disciple escort him away from the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land.
When Lin Fan was out of sight, Gu Xinglian, who had been calm and collected, suddenly shuddered. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
"..."
"This freak!"
She wiped the blood from her mouth, she muttered, "He's too strong."
"If I didn't use the Sky Gazing Mirror, even if I gave it my all, I might not have been able to suppress him."
Based on their previous encounter, Gu Xinglian believed that she would only need to be injured to take Lin Fan down. But didn't he just say that he could continue?
And he still had several more tricks up his sleeve.
If he used those techniques...
Without the Sky Gazing Mirror, it wasn't a matter of whether she would be injured or not, or whether she could suppress him. It was a question of whether she would be counter-killed if the battle went on long enough.
"..."
"Freak!"
"He's truly a freak among freaks."
"But this also proves that I didn't misjudge him."
"Good."
"Good..."
She took a deep breath, "With his help, great things can be accomplished."
"Moreover, he still has a few years to grow. I'm looking forward to it..."
"Forget it, I need to heal first!"
"..."
However, when she closed the door and sat down to heal, she couldn't help but open her eyes and mutter again, "He's such a freak!"
He was indeed a freak!
Who was she?
The Holy Daughter of Ten Thousand Flowers!
She had succeeded the position of the Holy Daughter nearly ten thousand years ago and reached the peak of the Ninth Stage several thousand years ago. She had been suppressing her cultivation, not attempting tribulation crossing or ascension due to insufficient accumulation and the lack of a successor for the position.
Even so, her strength had never stopped growing.
The current her, against the her who had just broken through to the peak of the Ninth Stage, could easily take on a hundred opponents, or even a thousand.
And this was without using the Sky Gazing Mirror or allowing them to form formations.
But...
Even someone as powerful as her, facing Lin Fan, who had just entered the Ninth Stage, might not be his match in raw strength.
What else could this be if not a freak?
"!!!"
"A freak among freaks, is the Heaven's Chosen one so terrifying? No, that's not right!"
"Who wasn't a Heaven's Chosen one when they were young?"
"This is beyond what the words 'Heaven's Chosen one' can represent."
"..."
"Heal, heal!"
"..."
"..."
"Indeed worthy of a Saint-level existence."
After leaving the Ten Thousand Flowers Sacred Land, Lin Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "Her strength is truly formidable!"
"She even used the Willow Divine Law, yet I couldn't force her back a single step. It was only because of the sudden burst of suction from the Moon Devouring Divine Art and Heaven Devouring Demon Art that she moved half a step."
"And she didn't even use any power-up techniques, take any pills, or wield the Sky Gazing Mirror, the sect's supreme treasure."
"If she used all those means, extinguishing me would be as easy as pie."
"I fear that even if I used Shi Hao's two supreme techniques and my recently comprehended secret technique, or even borrowed the microorganism from He Anxia, I wouldn't be able to withstand two blows."
"Saint..."
"Too formidable!"
Lin Fan shook his head in awe.
From his perspective, the Saint-level big shot was indeed formidable.
He had thought that reaching the peak of the Ninth Stage, along with his invincibility techniques and spells, would at least make it a close fight, even if he couldn't win.
But now it seemed that it wasn't just a close fight; it was a world of difference. He was being rubbed on the ground by her with no means to resist.
"This won't do, I need to survive!"
"I must continue to grow stronger."
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, I must never face a Saint-level opponent."
"Even if I have to fight a Saint, I must make thorough preparations and use all means available... Oh, and I must bring along the 'equipment' of survival!"
"..."
After flying for a while, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter, "She's indeed formidable!"
"..."
"..."
"This news..."
After receiving the latest report from the Imperial Guards, Qin Yu frowned, "This won't do."
"I must inform my master immediately."
"..."
He immediately dismissed his attendants and contacted Lin Fan through a telepathy talisman.
"Master."
Lin Fan quickly responded, "Oh? Qin Yu?"
"You're usually independent and rarely contact me. For you to reach out now, it must be something important."
"Master, you're joking."
Qin Yu's voice turned solemn, "But it is indeed a major matter."
"Master, do you remember the details of the Ximen family's destruction?"
Lin Fan was taken aback.
The details of the Ximen family's destruction?
Of course, he remembered...
After all...
"Tell me more," Lin Fan urged.
"At that time..." Qin Yu's voice grew heavier, "The Ximen family's Ximen Qilin performed a blood sacrifice, invoking the aid of a powerful entity. That entity descended from who knows how many tens of thousands of miles away in the form of an incarnation, becoming an unpredictable variable. From their words, we can infer that this person was connected to the heavy losses of the Moon Holding Sect, as well as the betrayal of the Ximen and Zhou families."
"Hmm."
Lin Fan muttered, "Did you find out who it was?"
"As you see fit, Master."
Qin Yu spoke solemnly, "Previously, we believed it to be a powerful figure from a Central Plains sect, and we've been trying to investigate these years, but to no avail."
"
"Until recently, I've been preparing to venture overseas, gradually making contact with various powers and cultivators, and infiltrating the Imperial Guards into the immortal islands out at sea. It's only now that we've gained some insight into the situation."
"That person is likely a high-ranking member of an overseas immortal island—Lavur Island."
"Lavur Island?"
Lin Fan contemplated for a moment.
The Immortal Martial Continent was vast, and from a scientific perspective, it was almost unnaturally immense, or one might even say, it defied all scientific logic.
But the Immortal Martial Continent wasn't just land; there were also vast oceans surrounding the continent, and beyond that, numerous islands dotted the seas.
