Tian Lu gave a sinister smile and nodded lightly.

"Please, go ahead."

The voice carried a hint of mockery.

Although Lin Fan felt a bit uncomfortable, the possibility of meeting Lan Zhengqing meant he could find the whereabouts of the Divine Phoenix and Zhu Ruoling. He wondered how they were doing now.

With that in mind, Lin Fan didn't suspect much and just wanted to quickly enter Wenyu City.

"If you're letting me go, set me free then."

"Oh, I forgot."

It was unclear whether Tian Lu was deliberately humiliating Lin Fan or had truly forgotten, or perhaps he wanted to test Lin Fan's true skills.

In any case.

He seemingly forgot about it on purpose.

Tian Lu smiled slightly and casually lifted his hand.

The ground around Lin Fan shook suddenly, like a massive earthquake. The towering ice pillar trembled too, rumbling as it submerged into the earth. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

In the blink of an eye.

All that was left on the ground were a few water stains, with no other traces.

Lin Fan seemed unsurprised, swaggering out with hands behind his back.

However.

Tian Lu's actions even left his four junior apprentices confused. Seeing their senior brother releasing Lin Fan, they were bewildered, eyes wide as they gathered around Tian Lu.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?!"

"Why let this guy go, aren't we avenging him?"

"Hurry up and kill this guy!"

"Letting him go is perfect, I want to personally slaughter him!"

Fei Zhang, Yu Ze, Yang Biao, and Jun Hao stared menacingly at Lin Fan, gnashing their teeth and roaring like enraged beasts ready to tear him apart.

Lin Fan felt as if he had stepped into a coliseum, surrounded by the fiercest beasts on standby to rip him apart. Yet he remained calm and collected, even provocatively winking at them with an arrogant grin.

This expression infuriated Fei Zhang, Yu Ze, Yang Biao, and Jun Hao!

Especially Jun Hao, known for his volatile temper and seeking revenge for Elder Han An. Seeing Lin Fan's expression drove him mad!

He was about to explode!

Why wasn't this ant afraid?!

Even though he killed their master, they had to pretend it wasn't this ant who did it to preserve their master's honor.

And now they had to endure his arrogant expression!

He couldn't take it anymore!

Furious!

Brutal!

Frenzied!

Slaughter!

Bloodthirsty!

The next second.

Without warning!

A direct attack on Lin Fan!

Boom!

A punch aimed straight at Lin Fan's brow!

Six hundred billion jin of power suddenly erupted!

A violent shockwave surged outwards, tsunami-like, pressing down on Lin Fan from all directions.

Tian Lu was momentarily stunned, wanting to stop Jun Hao, but was blocked by his other three junior brothers.

Additionally.

Jun Hao was just too close to Lin Fan!

Only a step away.

Even realizing it, there was no way to stop it in time.

Moreover, being blocked by the three junior brothers made it even more helpless.

Oh no!

Tian Lu shouted in his heart, his face turning very unsightly.

His brows furrowed tightly!

His heart pounded as if it would leap out of his throat.

No one present expected Jun Hao to strike suddenly and without warning!

Feeling the aura of six hundred billion jin spreading out.

Everyone held their breath.

The atmosphere froze.

"Heh, like master, like disciple."

"Trash will always be trash, never becoming gold."

"Learns nothing good, only scams, sneaks, and ambushes!"

"Garbage, undoubtedly garbage."

In the face of a six hundred billion jin punch, Lin Fan remained calm, composed, with a slight cold smile, speaking lightly.

Jun Hao's eye twitched viciously!

Damn thing, how dare you judge me!

This punch will shatter you!

"Die, damned one!"

"Die? Not today."

A single breath!

Jun Hao's fist was already at Lin Fan's brow, a violent aura swept into Lin Fan's cranium, the crowd could even see Lin Fan's forehead slightly deforming from the pressure!

Imagine.

If this punch landed solidly, what would happen!

The shockwave alone was already fearsome.

This punch went beyond what anyone could imagine, leaving them wide-eyed, holding their breath, awaiting the outcome.

Perhaps.

Lin Fan would die one day.

However.

Not today!

He casually glanced at Jun Hao, eyes gleaming with cold, sharp as a blade.

Jun Hao felt a chill in his heart.

Moments ago confident, he suddenly doubted himself.

Yet the punch had already been thrown.

No turning back!

Lin Fan sighed softly, stepping back.

"Instant Escape."

With a whoosh!

Before the fist landed, he had moved tens of meters away, maintaining his relaxed, calm posture, hands behind his back like an old man strolling around.

Bang!

Even Jun Hao was surprised that his punch had missed.

He hadn't planned for missing.

So, using full strength with no backup plan, focusing solely on smashing Lin Fan to pieces, he hadn't considered the consequences of missing.

He couldn't stabilize himself, the punch's power too great!

When the punch missed, he flew out, crashing to the ground, leaving a long trail.

His face skidded along the ground, extremely embarrassing.

"Ah..."

The crowd gasped in unison, incredulous, covering their mouths.

Seeing Jun Hao's disarray, some wanted to laugh but dared not, nearly hurting themselves holding back.

Lin Fan, unconcerned, boldly mocked.

"Hahaha! Amusing! Truly amusing! What a faceplant!" he clapped and laughed heartily, thoroughly entertained.

With a whoosh.

All eyes were on Lin Fan, speechless.

This kid...

Really something else...

Laughing so openly, isn't he afraid of being hit?

Tian Lu, Fei Zhang, Yu Ze, Yang Biao looked over, seeing Jun Hao sprawled, motionless, like a dead dog.

While Lin Fan clapped and laughed, his expression, tone, demeanor, all extremely provoking.

But.

Before they could react.

A shadow flew back.

A thousandth of a breath!

Lin Fan stood over Jun Hao again, looking down.

"Trash, weren't you going to ambush me? Weren't you going to smash me? Weren't you going to shatter me? Why play dead now, pathetic, don't even know what you learned, probably learned nothing at all. Just this level, Han An's five? Is your Water Clan forming a band? Hilarious, you all will laugh me to death eventually."

Lin Fan spoke lightly, a strange curve to his lips.

Suddenly!

Killing intent flickered in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, to prevent dying of laughter and as a punishment for ambushing me repeatedly, I've decided to cripple you."
