Chapter 408: From Now On, We Won't Be Strangers Anymore!
The moment those words left Lin Fan's mouth, everyone present was stunned. Then, with expressions full of glee for the impending drama, they all turned to look at Lei Zhen and the others from Blood Python City.
Clearly, this young man had come here with Blood Python City in his sights!
Under the many strange gazes, Lei Zhen's expression turned grim. The Blood Python City men behind him all had eyes brimming with killing intent, and cold, gleaming weapons appeared in their hands.
"Looks like someone's begging to die!" Lei Zhen sneered. "Kill him and feed him to the dogs!"
Swish!
The moment his voice fell, the Blood Python City fighters burst forward with savage grins, releasing surging yuan power as they charged. Their momentum was nothing to scoff at.
Those around them quickly backed away, clearing a space and watching the drama unfold with amused interest.
They were all curious—just what kind of ability did this young man have to speak so arrogantly in front of Blood Python City?
"Lin Dong, take Xinqing and fall back a bit," Lin Fan said calmly, unfazed by the charging enemies.
"Got it," Lin Dong nodded and led Xinqing away to a safer distance.
He knew well that these thugs posed no threat whatsoever to Lin Fan.
And sure enough, that was exactly the case.
Facing the incoming enemies, Lin Fan's hands formed seals, weaving an ancient and profound technique in a few short moments.
The next instant, space behind him split open, and a shadowy form seemed to pierce through time itself and descend into the world.
"Great Wilderness Heaven-Imprisoning Palm!"
From the skies above, an enormous, ancient palm—stretching thousands of feet—suddenly materialized. It descended with overwhelming power, crashing down toward the Blood Python City fighters.
RUMBLE!
As the colossal palm moved, the heavens roared. The terrifying wave of yuan power distorted space, creating visible ripples in the air.
Crack, crack, crack!
Before it even landed, the palm's force shattered the ground, sending jagged cracks racing in every direction.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Those who had been enjoying the show instantly paled and fled in all directions, terrified of being caught in the blast.
In the blink of an eye, the massive palm engulfed the Blood Python City fighters, burying them completely beneath its weight.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Thunderous explosions ripped through the night sky. The fierce warriors from just moments before were utterly obliterated—smashed into pieces by the titanic hand!
Blood mist filled the air, drifting across the battlefield.
Even their soul forms failed to escape destruction!
Hiss!
Gasps echoed through Little Wild City. Faces turned pale, and everyone instinctively drew a sharp breath.
The crowd who had come for a spectacle now wore solemn, fearful expressions. No one had expected this young man to possess such terrifying power—and to strike so ruthlessly without hesitation.
"Who are you, exactly?! Are you trying to start a war with Blood Python City?" Lei Zhen's heart trembled. His pupils contracted sharply as he glared at Lin Fan.
"My name is Lin Fan. I'm simply here to make a deal," Lin Fan said with a calm smile, his tone sincere. "Now tell me—using the lives of your Blood Python City men to buy those two Nine-Tails girls... is that an acceptable trade?"
Revealing his name was no accident. Lin Fan wanted to spread his reputation.
They were newcomers in the Demon Domain, and finding Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan in the Heavenly Demon Marten Clan would likely be difficult. But if word spread, perhaps those two would come find him instead.
"You've gone too far!"
Lei Zhen's face darkened with rage. He let out a roar and was about to strike personally.
"Stop!"
A stern voice rang out from the depths of Little Wild City.
In a blur, a gray-robed figure appeared before Lei Zhen and the others. The man's face was pale, his eyes sunken and shadowy.
His fingers were long and sharp like sword blades, and a faint, foul-smelling mist surrounded his body—clearly laced with poison.
"That's the Blood Python City Young Lord—Cao Mang!"
The moment he appeared, the crowd scattered. Even the remaining Blood Python City members took a step back, putting distance between themselves and the man. Fear showed clearly on their faces.
"Young Lord," Lei Zhen greeted him immediately with a deep bow, his tone filled with reverence.
Xinqing and the two Nine-Tails girls turned pale at the sight of him.
The two girls inside the prison cart even showed signs of despair. They clearly hadn't expected that someone this dangerous would be present in Little Wild City.
"Lin Fan, is it? A rather unfamiliar name," Cao Mang ignored Lei Zhen and looked straight at Lin Fan, smiling faintly.
"From now on, you won't find it unfamiliar anymore," Lin Fan said flatly. "Enough talk. Do you have a problem with this trade?"
"You come here alone and still act so arrogantly. Do you even care about the Beast World at all?" Lei Zhen cut in harshly before Cao Mang could respond.
He was clearly trying to turn everyone in the area against Lin Fan.
But it didn't work.
Yes, Lin Fan's solo bravado was annoying—but his earlier display of power had left a lasting impression. No one was eager to provoke such a terrifying foe.
Cao Mang's smile faded, his expression darkened. After a brief pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take them and go."
"Thanks," Lin Fan replied with a calm smile. With a wave of his hand, a surge of yuan power shattered the prison cart.
The two trembling Nine-Tails girls jumped in surprise. When they realized they were unharmed, relief washed over their faces, though they still looked at Lin Fan with some trepidation.
"Qing-jie, Liu-jie, are you alright?" Xinqing rushed to their side, her voice full of concern.
"Xinqing?" The two girls, still shaken, lit up with joy at the sight of her. Tears welled up as they clung to her.
"Let's go," Lin Fan said with a gentle smile as he watched the three girls.
"Mhm!" Xinqing nodded, helping the other two as they followed Lin Fan.
Lin Dong cast a long glance at the Blood Python City crowd, then turned and followed behind Lin Fan.
The surrounding beastfolk quickly cleared a path, their eyes filled with awe and wariness as they watched the five figures leave.
