Chapter 446: Barrett's Power! The Final Four!
Chapter 446: Barrett's Power! The Final Four!
October 12, 2024
The red eyes suddenly enlarged, filling the entire field of vision in an instant.
Green Skirt immediately fell into a daze.
In her daze, she returned to the softest place in her deepest memories, a place she had long sealed away.
A happy family.
Loved ones alive and well.
"Little Green, you're back?"
In her memories, her mother, who loved her the most, beamed with happiness and waved gently, "Come here, my dear child..."
In the corner, her father was sharpening his knife, saying he wanted to slaughter a pig for the New Year.
Her ten-year-old brother was playing with a spear in the courtyard, full of mischief.
All of this...
...was the most perfect scene deep in her memories.
Before that incident!
It was the scene she longed to see in her countless midnight dreams.
It was as if everyone was calling out to her.
Urging her to enter.
To share this rare moment of tranquility with the family she missed the most.
Her mother stepped forward, affectionately holding her hand, tears streaming down her face, "Little Green, you've grown so much."
"These years, you must have endured a lot of hardships alone."
Swish! Green Skirt's tears fell.
"Mother!"
"I..."
"I've been doing well these years."
"But, I've missed you all."
She hugged her mother and sobbed uncontrollably.
But...
The next moment, she closed her eyes and turned away, "But... I can't be with you yet."
"Once I retrieve the World Heart, I will definitely create another world with you in it!"
As her words fell, the world around them suddenly collapsed.
The illusion crumbled.
At the same time, Lin Fan's trio unleashed their powerful attacks, which were now right before them.
"..."
The tears on Green Skirt's face evaporated silently, and her eyes turned icy cold.
"You..."
"You shouldn't have used my family against me!"
Swish! In an instant, her hairpin shattered.
Her long hair danced in the wind, and at this moment, she transformed into a demon.
The purest, most extreme 'demon'! Demonic energy surged.
The Soul Banner instantly unfurled, and countless fierce ghosts howled as they rushed out, covering the sky and blocking out the sun in a single moment.
Green Skirt's figure disappeared along with the banner.
As the Soul Banner rolled, it instantly blocked the trio's attacks.
Although it was unknown how many fierce ghosts perished in this joint attack, Green Skirt successfully hid herself in the shadows and was ready to strike at any moment amidst the countless ghosts.
"She's hiding deep!"
Gu Xinglian frowned, "She's actually a demon cultivator!"
Xu Wei Yi also found it unbelievable.
Previously, Green Skirt appeared to be a pure cultivator, without a hint of demonic energy or any trace of demonic nature. Her methods were also very orthodox and typical of a cultivator.
But when she unleashed her power, she turned out to be such a pure demon cultivator!
"Judging from the number of fierce ghosts in the Soul Banner, there must be over a hundred million."
"And among them are many troublesome ghosts like ghost kings." Lin Fan's frowned, "I wonder how many cultivators they've killed."
"This demonic energy is so pure!"
He was the one who found it most unbelievable.
The old man who cultivated in Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian ways was one thing.
But this Green Skirt was a cultivator of both immortal and demonic origins...
"It seems like there's no one who hasn't gone crazy after living for so long!"
Lin Fan, while blocking the overwhelming attacks, couldn't help but complain.
Xu Wei Yi quietly raised her hand, "That..."
"I don't think I'm crazy."
To be fair, before coming here, she thought she was quite strong.
After all, she was an Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal, the highest realm below the Immortal Realm! But now, after seeing them...
She realized she was too 'ordinary'.
It was like being a 'post-doc' among other 'post-docs'...
The gap was truly immense.
Or perhaps, the gap between people was simply too great, almost unbelievable.
"Senior, please don't say that."
Lin Fan spoke softly, "To be fair, surviving eleven Scatter Immortal Tribulations and becoming an Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal is already extremely crazy."
Xu Wei Yi: "...
"Stop chatting."
Gu Xinglian sighed, "Let's just capture her quickly!"
"Alright!" Lin Fan nodded, "With all our might!"
"Huh?"
"I'm already using all my strength!" Gu Xinglian's eyelids twitched.
How was she supposed to use more strength?
"No, I mean using my full power." Lin Fan explained.
In his opinion, Gu Xinglian should be even stronger than him, and it shouldn't be so difficult to defeat Green Skirt.
Could it be that even with her full power, she couldn't defeat Green Skirt?
However.
Gu Xinglian clenched her teeth, "I'm already using all my strength! If I use more, it'll be like hurting the enemy a thousand and harming myself eight hundred!"
Lin Fan: "(ω) !!! What?! (⊙_⊙) ?!"
Lin Fan was stunned.
His head buzzed.
You're already using all your strength?
This is impossible!
"Don't joke around. Your strength has always been above mine. Moreover, after three years of bitter cultivation, your Yin Essence Body should be functioning perfectly, right?"
"How can I be inferior to you?"
Gu Xinglian suddenly realized,
No wonder Lin Fan asked her to 'use more strength'!
It was all because she had 'showed off' in the past.
Even without the Heaven-Gazing Mirror, she couldn't withstand the pressure, but she insisted on acting profound and mysterious, even guiding Lin Fan.
And he never doubted her.
So...
Lin Fan truly believed that she wasn't using her full strength, and if she did, she could instantly defeat Green Skirt?
But... Heaven and Earth as my witness! I also want to defeat her, but I can't!
Gu Xinglian's scalp tingled.
At this moment...
What should he do? Admit that he was bluffing and that he had actually already used his full strength?
How embarrassing!
Help!
She turned to Xu Wei Yi.
Xu Wei Yi, however, was calmly observing the situation.
Fortunately, at this moment, Sky Gazing Mirror floated over, and Wu Jiejie said lightly, "Lin Fan, is it possible that you, this pervert, have silently surpassed them without anyone noticing?"
"And it's..."
"Far beyond them?"
"Huh?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so?!"
In truth...
He couldn't deny that he had occasionally wondered if he was now stronger than Star Mother Gu.
After all, in dual cultivation, he was the one who benefited more!
Moreover, with the blood of so many top-tier powerhouses refined into his Blood Sea, this enhancement...
Had reached its peak!
Even if the dual cultivation boost was evenly distributed, with the additional boost from the Blood Sea, he should still be stronger than her by a margin.
But now it seems, it's not just a little stronger.
It's a significant difference!
"Yes!"
Star Mother Gu quickly agreed with Sky Gazing Mirror's words, "That's right, you little pervert... no, you big pervert, have silently surpassed us without us even realizing it."
"This is my full strength!"
"How else do you want me to exert myself?"
Lin Fan scratched his head, "Is that so?"
"Yes, it is!" Star Mother Gu nodded vigorously.
Our Lady...
Still wanted to save some face.
With such a perfect opportunity, how could she not take it?
"Then..."
"Alright, fine."
Lin Fan sighed, "I was negligent, but since that's the case, you two help me with the defense."
Star Mother Gu and Xu Wei Yi immediately agreed.
Lin Fan continued, "Wu Jiejie, help me find the woman in the green skirt."
"Okay!"
Sky Gazing Mirror unleashed its divine light...
The woman in the green skirt was hiding within the boundless demonic aura and countless fierce ghosts, thinking she had the perfect cover. But within Sky Gazing Mirror's field of vision, she had nowhere to hide.
Her hiding spot was quickly located.
However, she was also extremely vigilant, constantly changing her position.
She kept switching places with the fierce ghosts, and occasionally even transformed into demonic energy, hiding within the sea of demons.
But no matter how she moved or tried to hide, she couldn't escape Sky Gazing Mirror's lock.
Crack!
On Lin Fan's side, he raised his hand, and a sinister Barrett appeared in his grasp.
Crack!
The bullet was loaded.
Sky Gazing Mirror served as an '8x scope', no, it should be said that it directly transformed into a 'lock-on attachment', aiming precisely.
"..."
Buzz!
The Barrett glowed, flashing with a unique light amidst the boundless demonic energy and the charging fierce ghosts.
Power was accumulating!
Enhancements from the gun itself, the bullets, and Lin Fan's strength...
All aspects were maxed out!
Furthermore, he even infused the space within the bullet with some of the power of the Love Chicken.
Then...
A thunderous explosion erupted as the bullet was fired, instantly piercing through the air!
The woman in the green skirt's eyes had already turned pitch black.
At this moment, she was hidden in the shadows, staring at Lin Fan and the others, controlling countless fierce ghosts to attack while waiting for the right moment to strike and finish them off.
But suddenly, her heart was filled with unease, and her eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
An inexplicable sense of anxiety made it hard for her to stay calm.
Simultaneously, she felt her body stiffen, as if a great terror had erupted behind her! At that moment...
An indescribable yet irresistible and unstoppable sense of pleasure spread throughout her body.
Boom!!!
High temperatures, explosions, sword qi, fist seals, and various killing secret techniques erupted in this instant.
The Barrett's bullets had already been upgraded.
In the past, it could only contain one Man-Made Sun Punch.
Now, Lin Fan's bullets, refined with Immortal Gold, were superior in every aspect, and the internal space was astonishing.
On the surface, it was just an ordinary bullet.
In reality, it was a collection of countless offensive secret techniques, exploding in an instant!
The confusion and pleasure from the Love Chicken were so overwhelming that even the demonized woman in the green skirt couldn't bear it, and her reaction was half a beat too slow.
In that half beat, the bullet entered her body and exploded! Her body instantly shattered!
The area below her chest was completely blown to bits, turning into countless fragments. The area above her chest was also in a pitiful state, but at least her arms remained.
However, such a pitiful state had significantly reduced her combat effectiveness, making it difficult for her to continue.
"Ahhhh!"
She roared, coughing up blood as she hastily tried to dodge. At the same time, she controlled the countless fierce ghosts and ghost kings, rushing towards Lin Fan and the others without regard for the cost, fearless of death.
"She's desperate."
"Let's attack together and take advantage of her weakness to finish her off!" Lin Fan commanded.
Immediately, the three of them unleashed a frenzy of attacks, a chaotic slaughter.
Although there were many fierce ghosts, with their master heavily injured and unable to control them effectively, it was a pipe dream to think that they could defeat the three of them with just the Soul Banner.
Therefore, after they started their slaughter, the number of soul ghosts within the Soul Banner quickly diminished.
With Sky Gazing Mirror guiding their direction, they chased after her.
The woman in the green skirt desperately dodged, fled, and tried to heal...
But to no avail.
In the end, they caught up, surrounded, and cornered her.
"Ahhhh!"
She screamed, "Mother!!!"
Boom!
With a loud explosion, this piece of heaven and earth was once again plunged into 'darkness'.
Everything related to the woman in the green skirt seemed to have disappeared.
...
While Lin Fan and the others were engaged in battle with the woman in the green skirt.
Daoist Treasure was also displaying his divine might!
His opponent was also of the 'perverted' type, but there were still differences among perverts.
Daoist Treasure was undoubtedly the 'cream of the crop' among perverts.
The countless artifacts in the sky...
Were invincible!
Attack only, no defense!
No, he was neither attacking nor defending.
Standing in place was all that was needed, and the myriad of artifacts naturally unleashed their divine might.
The opponent was strong! He was a hidden puppet master, summoning several Scatter Immortal Corpse Puppets. Lin Fan had planned to rely on the powerful physical bodies of the Corpse Puppets to fight Daoist Treasure, but...
He had thought too much! The artifacts Daoist Treasure had previously used were not even half of his full collection!
When Daoist Treasure unleashed his full power...
One could see with the naked eye that they were all 'Heavy Treasures'! These densely packed artifacts didn't need to be 'arranged in formation' or individually controlled; they just kept coming in waves...
After just three or four waves, all the Corpse Puppets were shattered.
Another few waves...
And even he, along with them, was directly crushed.
It was effortless and carefree.
Elegant and powerful.
It left everyone in awe!
On the other side...
The Sword Immortal had also defeated his opponent! He was truly not weak.
As a Sword Cultivator, his offensive power was already at the forefront among those of the same cultivation realm, perhaps even the strongest.
Perhaps they had some 'specialization', but specialization often represented exceptional prowess in that area.
Previously suppressed by the Elder, his opponent had mistakenly believed the Sword Immortal to be weak.
But after the great battle...
The Sword Immortal, in his white robe, raised his sword against the wind, vanquishing all evil in the world, and with his sword, he would cut down all injustices in the Nine Provinces!
His opponent...
After three hundred rounds of fierce battle, died with resentment!
Body Cultivator Man Ji...
Had long since defeated his opponent.
He was a brute.
He looked like an easy target.
But brutes often represented extraordinary strength.
If not for his formidable power, how could he afford to be so reckless? As a Body Cultivator, his fists and kicks were formidable. Once he got close, few could withstand him.
The myriad of anomalies gradually subsided.
The great battle paused for the moment.
At this moment, only six people remained in the arena: Lin Fan's group of three, Man Ji, the Sword Immortal, and Daoist Treasure. They surrounded the World Heart.
They looked at each other, and finally, they all smiled.
"We almost flipped over."
"Good thing we didn't lose face." Daoist Treasure wiped his forehead, where no sweat existed, and said, "My strength is too weak. Go easy on me later."
Lin Fan: "???"
Gu Xinglian and Xu Weiyi: "(-_-)~..."
Man Ji and the Sword Immortal: "Σ(⊙▽⊙)!"
I don't believe you, you damn ghost! You, the most outrageous one, didn't even move an inch, and at most, just moved your fingers. Now you're telling me you almost died? The most relaxed and seemingly strongest one...
What are you pretending for? Man Ji immediately retorted, "Do you take us for fools?"
"Is this how you pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger?"
"No way!" Daoist Treasure shook his head, "I'm telling the truth, really!"
He raised two fingers and gestured, "This much."
"Just now, it was this close. If he were just a little stronger, I'd be dead for sure!"
Lin Fan nodded, "I believe you."
"Just this 'billionth of a point' closer, right?"
"Not bad, it's good that you understand me." Daoist Treasure revealed a smile.
The Sword Immortal: "..."
His mouth twitched slightly.
As a Sword Cultivator, the sword in his hand was the most important thing in his heart.
He wasn't good with words.
Nor did he like to talk much.
But Daoist Treasure's ghostly appearance and attitude still made him want to retort.
Too much!
"I see."
"You're all talented."
Lin Fan said lightly, "Time is running out. Less than ten days left, right?"
"We must settle the outcome during this time."
"Let's discuss how. What do you say?"
The four of them exchanged glances.
Man Ji spoke up, "If none of you want to speak, then I will!"
"Currently, although we don't know each other's backgrounds, we have some understanding. You have three people on your side, but their strength is slightly inferior."
Upon hearing this, Xu Weiyi quietly lowered her head, her pretty face turning red.
It seemed like the difference in strength was more than just a little.
Cough.
Gu Xinglian, on the other hand, was quite open about it.
After all...
This was the truth.
"Why don't we let them withdraw from this battle? This way, we can avoid unnecessary conflict. It's just a treasure hunt, so..."
"The six of us..."
"Can pair up and fight. The winners will then face each other, and the final victor will be the owner of this World Heart. How about it?"
Daoist Treasure clapped his hands, "I agree!"
"But I have a suggestion."
"Since we've met in battle, and it's just a treasure hunt, I propose we stop at this point..."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you really want to fight to the death..."
"Sigh."
Daoist Treasure shook his head.
The Sword Immortal whispered, "The sword is silent, but as Sword Cultivators, we must honor our blades. I can agree to this, but I can't guarantee that I won't lose control at the critical moment."
"After all, your strengths are not inferior to mine. In this battle, we must give it our all to have a chance at victory..."
"And going all out makes it hard to control."
"However, I have no objections to the four of us pairing up and fighting."
Immediately, they turned to Lin Fan's group, "What do you think?"
"If you don't want to..."
"Then it's a free-for-all battle among the six of us."
Lin Fan smiled, "I think your proposal is good."
Speaking of which, this was actually a favor for him, and they were giving him face.
After all, they said they wouldn't interfere, but if they tried to sneak attack at the critical moment...
Who could stop them?
If he didn't agree to this, it would be like refusing a toast and asking for a penalty.
He turned to Gu Xinglian and Xu Weiyi, "What do you think?"
Gu Xinglian nodded, "Agreed. It's better this way."
They knew their own situation best.
Not knowing your place...
Was asking for trouble.
