Chapter 444: Charisma, the Slaughter Continues!

October 10, 2024

In the midst of confusion, he suddenly realized that the blood within his body was rapidly leaving his veins, as if someone had drained him dry in an instant.

Then, all his origins, including his soul, were 'sucked away'.

This sudden loss of resistance left him helpless, awaiting his demise.

It was at this moment that he realized the blood he had coughed up after Lin Fan's punch had disappeared into thin air.

But how was this possible?

His spiritual sense was always aware of his surroundings, so how could he not notice the disappearance of his blood?

Therefore, there was only one explanation.

His blood had not vanished.

Instead, it had transformed into the 'Blood Sea Clone' behind him, chilling him to the core!

But how could this be?

He turned to Lin Fan, feeling his life slipping away, and struggled to speak, "You..."

"How did you do it?"

"Why can you control my blood from a distance?"

He couldn't understand, nor could he fathom it.

His blood!!!

With his cultivation, even if his blood left his body, it still bore his mark. He could even regenerate from a single drop of blood; it wasn't just an empty boast but a real possibility.

In such a situation, to be controlled and attacked, without even realizing it, was unimaginable.

"Do you want to know?" Lin Fan smiled.

The elder was about to nod when Lin Fan casually said, "I won't tell you."

"Fck!" The elder's eyes widened, and he died of anger.

Then...

His entire physical body was 'devoured'.

However, it wasn't the Blood Sea Clone that devoured him.

It was the Great Dao Vase above the Blood Sea Clone.

The surrounding arrays continued to operate.

But...

They became unowned objects, only capable of passive operation without control.

The passively operating arrays were powerful, but they lacked a certain 'liveliness'. Operating passively, without emotion, they wouldn't actively target anyone, becoming more 'average'.

As a result...

The remaining eleven individuals faced the same intensity of attacks.

Lin Fan, Daobao, Jianxian, and the Barbarian Body Cultivator felt a sudden relief from the pressure.

However, the others felt the pressure intensify.

"Impressive."

The Body Cultivator spoke, "Little brother, if we both survive today, I, Man Ji, will befriend you!"

"I feel the same," Jianxian nodded in agreement.

"Me too," Daobao smiled, "But it'll be tough."

"Hopefully, we can all make it."

"What's so difficult about that?" At this moment, a previously inconspicuous person appeared beside the four, and his voice seemed to echo in their ears, "If you all step down, bond, and become sworn brothers, what's the problem?"

"Step aside and bond as brothers. What's wrong with that?"

"Why seek death here?"

"Arrogance!"

Man Ji, enraged, swung a wide punch.

However, it landed on thin air, and no one was there.

Lin Fan was speechless, "So, you'd rather fight within this array and be attacked without breaking it first, until a winner is decided?"

Everyone paused.

The tense atmosphere suddenly became somewhat relaxed.

They suddenly realized that their brains might be malfunctioning.

Such a simple question hadn't occurred to them, and they needed someone else to point it out!

If their brains weren't malfunctioning, what was it?

"You make sense."

Daobao's gaze swept over the group, and he suggested, "We should break the arrays first; otherwise, it's too troublesome and uncomfortable. We can't fight freely like this."

Jianxian scoffed, "It's reasonable for others to say this, but it sounds ridiculous coming from you."

"Who wouldn't be intimidated by your collection of treasures?"

"From the start, you've only used your treasures. These arrays are powerful, but as long as your shields hold, they won't affect you."

"They still have an impact!" Daobao shook his head repeatedly, "These shields are defensive artifacts, but who says they can't kill people?!"

"Even if I don't use them to defend against attacks and only attack, they're still excellent for striking others!"

"With so many shields, how many can withstand their blows?"

"Even if they can withstand it, how many would dare to ignore it?"

Man Ji raised an eyebrow, "I dare!"

Daobao was stunned.

You two... such talents!

"You, a reckless brute, are an exception!"

"In any case, less talk, let's break the arrays!"

These arrays were formidable, especially the Second Death Array. Under the control of the withered elder, even the array's eye could change positions unpredictably, making it as challenging to break as ascending to heaven.

But without the elder's control, the arrays could only operate based on the most basic 'routine'. In front of these grandmasters from various worlds, they weren't much of a challenge.

With their combined efforts, it took less than two incense sticks of time to break them all.

The area returned to normal.

But...

Before they could fight, they noticed many more covetous individuals arriving. With no other choice, they sent their clones to eliminate them, but this time, they didn't wait for the clones to return.

Instead, they took action!

"Fellow Daoist!"

Jianxian held his immortal sword upside down, and to everyone's astonishment, he chose to turn his back to Lin Fan, not even bothering with much defense.

In this situation, if Lin Fan wanted to attack, it would be twice as effective.

But Lin Fan was straightforward, "Your battle with that old man just now untied my heart knot. I owe you a favor. So, let's join forces to eliminate the others first, and then we'll settle our score, how about that?"

"Haha!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!"

Boom!

Manji stepped into the void, following closely behind, "I was thinking the same. As a sword cultivator, your words resonate with me."

As he spoke, he turned around, locking eyes with an opponent, glaring fiercely.

"Good, good, that's how it should be."

"I can see that too," Daoist Treasure said, slowly turning around as well. He wasn't as 'open' as Manji, or perhaps it was because he didn't need to defend himself; with so many magical treasures for protection, he was more than prepared.

"Everyone else also has their own methods. Just now, they all had the chance to make a move, but they all pretended to be weak, acting as if they were held back by the Second Death Array, unable to take action..."

"So they're just trying to conserve their strength and let others do the fighting for them?"

"In that case, we'll kill you first, and then we, the more 'honest' ones, will fight for the World Heart. It's undoubtedly the most suitable plan."

Swish, swish!

Xu Wei Yi and Gu Xinglian immediately stepped forward, joining Lin Fan.

With this development...

There were eleven people present, creating a six-versus-five situation!

Lin Fan's side even had an extra person.

This caused the five opponents to frown instantly.

However, they merely frowned, testing and engaging each other while one of them scoffed, "Absurd! In this situation, unless the Son of Heaven himself were to arrive, I wouldn't believe it's possible for people from different worlds to collaborate..."

"How long can your collaboration last? It's likely that you'll be stabbing each other in the back at any moment, isn't it?"

Riiiip!

A sword qi slashed through the air, forcing him to retreat.

The Sword Immortal spoke in a cold voice, "Whether you stab or not is not up to you. Die first!"

"Arrogant!"

The opponent was also enraged.

They were all people who had lived for a long time, why would he think he was inferior?

He immediately fought fiercely with the Sword Immortal, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

In a six-versus-five situation, it was essentially a one-on-one fight...

Not the best, but not bad at all!

...

"Deceitful!"

The remaining four frowned.

At this moment, they were still engaged in a mutual attack.

They were indeed fighting, but it wasn't to the point of life and death.

However, when they saw someone directly engaging in a one-on-one battle in the royal city, they naturally couldn't sit still.

If they waited any longer, what if they were paired with two formidable opponents?

That would be a disaster!

"Hmph!"

A demon cultivator locked eyes with Manji, "Manzi, your physical body is quite impressive. Are you willing to fight to the death with this old man?"

"Why not?"

"You're just a lowly demon cultivator. In my world, I've killed countless like you."

Manji scoffed, voluntarily leaving the battlefield and charging towards him, while coldly smiling, "Show me your Soul Banner. Let this old man take a look."

"Let's see how capable you are."

Soul Banner.

This object was almost a must-have for powerful demon cultivators.

To reach the ninth realm and not have a Soul Banner...

That was truly a rare sight.

Even if they had one, it wasn't that they didn't want to refine it, but rather... either they were beaten up, or the powerful ghosts inside were too embarrassing to bring out.

"As you wish!"

The demon cultivator roared with laughter, feeling proud of his cleverness.

These opponents...

Aside from those two women, Manji was the easiest to deal with!

As a body cultivator, his movements were easy to predict.

Just go for it!

Boom!

Soon, a fierce battle erupted between the two.

...

Meanwhile, the remaining three on their side exchanged glances, and they could see the urgency and caution in each other's eyes.

It was clear to everyone.

Currently, Xu Wei Yi was the weakest, while Gu Xinglian... was a bit of an enigma, being a Yin Essence Body cultivator. No one knew if she had any powerful tricks up her sleeve.

In their eyes, the most troublesome one was undoubtedly Daoist Treasure.

That guy was filthy rich!

Aside from the countless top-tier equipment on his body, there were even more that he couldn't wear...

Not because they didn't fit, but because he simply had 'no equipment slots' left!

In their opinion, this guy was the most challenging opponent.

As for Lin Fan...

Compared to Daoist Treasure, he was strong, but not to the same extent.

However, the problem was that the other side had an extra person.

If Lin Fan teamed up with Xu Wei Yi, one distracting while the other fought with all their might...

Therefore...

They had to seize the initiative!

Go for the weaker ones first!

"Kekeke!"

At this moment, the only woman among the three laughed, "As fellow women, I'll have a match with you."

This traditional cultivator, clad in a green skirt, exuded 'spiritual energy', and her immortal sword pointed at Gu Xinglian, "Are you up for a fight?"

The other two immediately cursed inwardly.

Damn that despicable woman for taking the lead!

They weren't collaborating; it was just that the opponents numbered six, leaving them no choice but to temporarily join forces.

"Why not!"

Gu Xinglian's heart tightened, but she didn't back down.

"Holy Mother."

Xu Wei Yi's heart raced, "Holy Mother, why don't I fight her instead, while you assist Lin Fan..."

"Senior Uncle."

But Gu Xinglian gently shook her head, comforting her, "Right now, my strength surpasses yours."

"You alone might not be able to hold out for long."

"Since we came out together, I naturally want us to return together."

"You... assist Lin Fan first, and try to defeat your opponent as quickly as possible. Then, you can help me, and it'll be even better, right?"

Xu Wei Yi hesitated.

But Lin Fan nodded slightly, "Okay."

Xu Wei Yi sighed, and Gu Xinglian directly charged forward, engaging the green-skirted woman in battle.

In an instant, all three battlefields reached their peak.

Special effects filled the sky, and various techniques emerged endlessly. The once stable space now shattered repeatedly.

The aftershocks of the great battle continued to assail them.

Fortunately, Lin Fan and the others were not weaklings and showed no fear.

At this moment, the two remaining opponents across from them exchanged a glance.

Just as one of them was about to speak, the other abruptly interrupted, "Hahaha, fellow Daoist, I'm a bit older, so I'll take the lead."

"How about this, since they want to team up, I'll face both of them alone!"

"You deal with that good-for-nothing kid who only knows how to rely on treasures, that's settled!"

The opponent: "???!!!"

Fuck you, grandpa!

He only knows how to rely on treasures, and he's calling me a good-for-nothing?

Should I thank you for that?

Just as he was about to retort, he saw that the opponent had already engaged in combat with Lin Fan and Xu Wei Yi.

As for the other side...

Daoist Treasure grinned, his teeth gleaming, and under the various 'special effects', they reflected light of various colors.

It's like a rainbow!

"Senior~"

"Master~"

"Please show mercy, I'm just a good-for-nothing."

His face darkened, "Tianxin Realm, Wu Xin!"

"This battle is not for grudges, but for the World Heart. Kid, make your move!"

"You talk too much..."

"Are you trying to let me off the hook?" Daoist Treasure's eyes shifted, "Actually, I'm not one for fighting, it's too troublesome and dangerous."

"How about this, you give me a strand of your true soul, and then you can run for it. Wouldn't that be safer for you?"

"I promise, I won't crush your true soul."

"And when the five years are up, we'll each go our own way, find our own mothers, and this strand of your true soul will forcefully return to you. That way, you won't have to worry about anything."

"How about it?"

Wu Xin: "..."

You think I'm a fool?

"Absurd!"

He snorted coldly and made his move.

"Tianxin Mark!"

Daoist Treasure: "..."

"Why bother? All this fighting..."

He sighed softly.

The shield expanded and blocked the attack on its own.

But it couldn't withstand this strike.

However, the 'hair ornament' on his head and the treasure pearl glowed, easily blocking the Tianxin Mark, and he just stood there, arms folded, looking relaxed.

"But, if you come, you must reciprocate."

"Since you've made your move, I should return the favor, right? Be careful."

He raised his hand towards Wu Xin.

Boom!

Countless artifacts lit up and bombarded Wu Xin.

Holy shit!

Wu Xin's scalp went numb, and as he frantically dodged, he seized the opportunity to counterattack, cursing, "You fatso, you've got the guts to face me one-on-one!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?!"

"Besides, can't you count? We're not fighting one-on-one, am I now facing two against one?"

The chubby Daoist Treasure grinned, his smile radiant.

Across from him, Wu Xin's face turned green.

...

"Senior, just stall and feint."

Lin Fan transmitted his thoughts to Xu Wei Yi, "This old guy is very strong, don't underestimate him. I'll find a way to finish him off quickly and then go help Gu Xinglian."

"..."

"I trust you."

Xu Wei Yi had accepted 'reality'.

Originally the strongest among the three, he had now become the weakest.

As for Lin Fan...

She now believed a hundred percent.

Especially when it came to Gu Xinglian's safety.

After all, they~~~

Right?

"Old man, let me show you what I've got."

Xu Wei Yi drew her sword and charged forward.

On Lin Fan's side, her gaze was intense, and she formed hand seals.

"One Thought Flower Blooming, Reign Over the World!"

In fact, the Blood Sea was also very powerful now, and it was even Lin Fan's strongest technique!

Because this time, the 'makeup' was too incredible.

However, it wasn't time for that yet.

Moreover, the Blood Sea was ultimately a demonic cultivation method, slightly incompatible with her identity. It would be best not to use it unless necessary, leaving some trump cards for later.

After all...

You've got to keep some tricks up your sleeve!

One Thought Flower Blooming...

Three thousand Immortal Flowers blossomed.

Subsequently, three thousand Lin Fan clones emerged, each possessing over eighty percent of Lin Fan's original power!

"Supreme Overlord Spell!"

Three thousand and one Lin Fan clones shouted simultaneously.

Though their voices weren't loud, they shook the nine heavens.

Their combat power surged!

But this was just the beginning!

"Qilin Law!"

"Immortal Moon in the Sky!"

"Combat Secret!"

"..."

Their power skyrocketed.

Even without Unusual Fire, these Immortal Flower incarnations couldn't perform the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations, but their strength was still formidable.

The elder, who had intended to stall and play with Xu Wei Yi, was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Damn!"

"This kid..."

"He's been hiding so deeply?!"

He felt like cursing!

With such strength, why didn't you show it earlier? With so many incarnations, it would only take one wave to finish off the old guy who played with formations earlier. Why wait until now to make your move? Fortunately, I'm not a pushover, or I'd be at your mercy today!

"Great Buddha's Hand!!!"

Boom!

The elder let out a fierce shout, he slapped the sky with one hand.

In the sky, it was as if a Buddha was responding.

A giant Buddha's hand descended, and the palm bore a shining swastika, accompanied by endless Buddhist chants and golden sutras.

This strike was powerful enough to annihilate a relatively weaker Ten Tribulations Scatter Immortal!

And it was a single piece!

"Be careful!"

Xu Wei Yi's expression changed as she looked at Lin Fan.

"You dare to be distracted even after I've revealed my strength?"

He chuckled, and before anyone knew it, he had closed the distance to Xu Wei Yi.
