Chapter 329: Trying to Run? You Think You Can Escape?
CLANG!
A sound like metal striking metal echoed across the sky. The terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, rupturing the eardrums of weaker cultivators and sending their blood surging uncontrollably!
Before the stunned eyes of the crowd, the sinister white beam unleashed by the Evil Bone Elder was completely incinerated by Lin Fan's flaming spear!
Even the elder's white bone staff was knocked aside and set ablaze with roaring flames!
But the flaming spear didn't stop—it continued its deadly charge toward the Evil Bone Elder!
Seeing the spear surge toward him, filled with terrifying killing intent, the Evil Bone Elder's pupils contracted violently. Deep within his eyes, a look of pure shock surged forth.
He hadn't expected this at all—Lin Fan's attack was far beyond what he could imagine!
He had a strong feeling: if he were struck by that flaming spear, even if he didn't die… he'd be gravely wounded!
Heart pounding in alarm, the Evil Bone Elder immediately tried to retreat, abandoning dignity to avoid the attack.
"Since you're here… why not stay a while?"
Lin Fan smiled faintly. His fingers flashed through a sequence of hand seals as vast spiritual power erupted from his Niwan Palace. A soft, nearly inaudible word escaped his lips—"Freeze."
A strange wave of force spread across the air like lightning.
And then, to the Evil Bone Elder's horror, he felt his body… freeze for a split second!
It was subtle—barely noticeable—but real.
A fleeting moment. One most would ignore.
But in this instant—it was fatal!
Swish!
The flaming spear, trailing a dazzling tail of fire, tore through the sky and pierced straight into the Evil Bone Elder's body as his horrified eyes looked on.
BOOM!
At the moment of impact, a sea of fire exploded outward, dyeing the sky crimson.
RUMBLE!
The roaring flames surged like tidal waves, engulfing the heavens. The destructive aura distorted the very fabric of space.
Everyone on Martial Meet Island was watching this battle.
As they witnessed the devastating strike from Lin Fan, their eyes widened with disbelief.
So this was Lin Fan's true power? During the Martial Meet… he hadn't even gone all out!
On the Shentu side, Shentu Jue's expression flickered. A deep sense of helplessness welled up within him.
If Lin Fan had used this move against him back then… his grave would already be overgrown with weeds.
Under the gaze of countless spectators, the inferno gradually faded, and the terrifying energy slowly subsided.
As the fiery sea vanished, a scorched figure came into view.
His entire body was charred black. His left arm had been severed at the shoulder—completely gone. Blood gushed like a fountain from the stump. His skin was split open, his flesh a mangled mess, wounds grotesque and horrifying.
A gaping hole had been burned through his left side, blackened around the edges—his organs faintly visible within.
Hiss!
Gasps echoed across the island. Everyone stared in disbelief, eyes wide and jaws slack.
The entire Martial Meet Island fell into a deathly silence.
Then came a tidal wave of shocked cries.
"How… how is this possible?"
"That's the Evil Bone Elder! And he was almost killed by a single blow from Lin Fan?! Am I dreaming?!"
"I heard he was already at the Perfect Life Xuan Stage and not far from breaking into Death Xuan. And he was still beaten like that?! Lin Fan is terrifying!"
"No wonder he dared to talk so big. He has the strength to back it up!"
…
At the Gu Clan's area, Gu Mengqi—who had previously been worried—was now frozen in shock.
"Lin Fan… is really this strong?"
Gu Yan gave a bitter smile. "We underestimated him. He was never afraid of the Evil Bone Elder."
Gu Shuo was just as stunned, but a trace of regret rose in his heart as well.
What a pity… such talent, and we couldn't recruit him into the Gu Clan.
Over at the Wei Clan, Wei Zhen stared blankly, muttering, "No… no way… How could he beat the Evil Bone Elder?!"
A Wei Clan elder's expression turned grim. After a moment, he declared solemnly:
"From this day forward, the Wei Clan will no longer pursue any feud with Lin Fan. No one is to seek revenge. As for Wei Song and the others… say they died to sea beasts."
"Yes!" the disciples responded immediately, bowing respectfully.
Honestly, even if they were told to seek revenge, none of them would dare!
Wei Zhen clenched his fists tightly… only to let them drop weakly a moment later. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept the bitter truth.
…
AHHHH!!
Back on the battlefield, the Evil Bone Elder screamed, his voice filled with rage and agony.
"You little bastard! How dare you wound me like this?!"
His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Lin Fan, madness twisting his face.
If not for the excruciating pain grounding him in reality, he wouldn't believe he'd been defeated by a junior—to this extent.
Lin Fan sneered. "Old dog, I didn't just wound you—I'm going to kill you."
As his voice fell, Lin Fan's Yuan Power erupted once more, scarlet light bursting from his body in waves of killing intent.
He clenched his palm, and another flaming spear took form—its tip swirling into a vortex of fire.
The sheer heat made the air distort ominously.
The Evil Bone Elder's pupils shrank as panic surged in his heart.
If that attack hit again, he really would die here!
"You just wait! Once I recover, I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth!"
Shrieking, he suddenly bit down hard—and his severed arm exploded!
A red flash enveloped his body as he shot toward the distance in retreat!
"Trying to run? You think I'll let you?" Lin Fan shook his head.
Stepping forward, space twisted—and in a blink, he appeared in front of the fleeing elder.
"Spatial Prison!"
With both hands forming seals, Lin Fan unleashed the Spatial Ancestral Symbol's power, trapping the Evil Bone Elder in a sealed area of space.
"Damn it! What is this technique?!" the elder roared, trying everything to break free—but it was useless.
"This ends now."
With those words, searing crimson flames gathered in Lin Fan's palm. The temperature warped the very air.
He raised his hand. A blazing sun, hundreds of zhang in size, began to form overhead.
"Go."
With a light flick of his fingers, the scorching sun roared through the sky, crashing toward its prey.
