Chapter 724: Chapter 188: Is This a Human or an Ancient Fierce Beast?

BANG!

Ah Linglong used the force of the blow to fly back several dozen yards, tumbling as she landed.

Chu Fan also landed back on the ground. His footwork was a blur as he weaved across the field like a swimming dragon, evading the giant beasts that tried to take advantage of the opening to snap at him.

The two faced off from a distance, shock apparent in both their eyes.

Chu Fan’s brow furrowed slightly.

’That bell in Ah Linglong’s hand is even stranger and more potent than the ones held by those Moon Worship Sect heretics.’

’After breaking through to the second layer of the Vajra Undying Body, I’ve already cultivated the Glazed Heart Fire. The strength of my Divine Sense should be comparable to someone in the Bright Heart Realm.’

’And with the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture’s Spirit Array Map activated, my Divine Sense has surged by a factor of ten!’

’Even so, the sound of that bell can still make my movements sluggish and leave me dizzy...’

’This is definitely a top-tier Exotic Treasure that targets the Divine Soul!’

However, the storm raging in Ah Linglong’s heart was a hundred times more turbulent than Chu Fan’s...

The intelligence from the Zhang Family had clearly stated that Chu Fan was just a Body Cultivator with astounding Divine Power, his Martial Arts Cultivation no higher than the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm.

’Logically speaking, a Body Cultivator’s Divine Soul should be their greatest weakness.’

’My Soul-Grabbing Bell is a secret treasure of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, specifically designed to counter the Divine Soul. Forget the Divine Power Realm—even an ordinary peak Bright Heart Realm master would be sent reeling if they heard it ring!’

’But this Chu Fan...’

’He just shook his head, and his eyes instantly cleared.’

’He didn’t even miss a beat in his pursuit?’

’Is he even human?!’

’If I’d known, I would have kept a thousand yards between us from the start and used these thirteen Fierce Beasts to slowly wear him down!’

But now, Chu Fan had used his Ghostly Appearance Body Technique to close the distance and engage her in close-quarters combat.

Her thirteen giant beasts, which she took such pride in, were now hesitant to attack for fear of hitting her.

They had become useless decorations, only able to watch from the sidelines!

And compared to his, her Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step was like a child’s first steps!

"Damn it!"

Ah Linglong’s heart filled with frustration and fear.

She didn’t dare linger any longer. Casting aside concerns about exposing her identity, she also activated her Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step, using the massive bodies of the thirteen giant beasts as cover to escape Chu Fan’s pursuit.

But before Chu Fan, who possessed the Shadow Step, obstacles were meaningless.

After several seconds of pursuit, the moment the cooldown period ended, Chu Fan took a step. His figure once again moved like a phantom, appearing behind Ah Linglong without any warning!

From her perch in the distant treetops, Su Wenqin witnessed the entire scene.

"Instant Teleportation... That’s actually Instant Teleportation!"

Seeing Chu Fan vanish into thin air, only to reappear just as suddenly, Su Wenqin’s hand on her bow trembled slightly. A monstrous wave of shock crashed through her heart!

As a genius archer of the Four Symbols Palace, her greatest strength was creating distance and killing from afar with her Soul-Chasing Four Symbols Arrow.

For her, distance was a lifeline.

’But what if your enemy can use Instant Teleportation?’

Faced with that terrifying spatial leap, the so-called "creating distance" was a complete and utter joke!

Su Wenqin felt her scalp tingle. She subconsciously took two steps back, the thought of retreating already forming in her mind.

In the center of the battlefield.

Chu Fan’s expression was blank, his fists like tireless battering rams.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Three consecutive cannon-like punches, each as heavy as a mountain and accompanied by explosive roars, finally and utterly shattered the Bone Shield behind Ah Linglong, which had long been on the verge of collapse.

Shards of bone flew everywhere!

’Is he really a human? He’s clearly an Ancient Fierce Beast!’

’Damn it... The information on this man from the Zhang Family is completely wrong!’

Staring at the shattered Bone Shield, Ah Linglong felt herself enveloped by a thick aura of death.

Driven by despair, a flash of crazed brutality crossed her eyes.

’I’ll risk it all!’

DING-A-LING-LING!

Risking the backlash to her Divine Soul, she violently shook the Soul-Grabbing Bell in her left hand once more.

Taking advantage of the momentary confusion that appeared in Chu Fan’s eyes, a cold light flashed in the palm of Ah Linglong’s right hand.

A Middle-Grade Profound Weapon—a longsword that gleamed with a blinding, cold light, capable of cutting through metal and jade—shot out instantly!

The strike was as fast as lightning and as venomous as a viper.

It aimed straight for Chu Fan’s most vulnerable point—his throat!

"Go to hell!"

A cruel, triumphant smile appeared on Ah Linglong’s lips, confident she was about to turn the tables.

However, the next moment.

CLANG—!

The crisp sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The smile on Ah Linglong’s lips instantly froze.

Her supposedly unstoppable longsword, striking Chu Fan’s skin, felt as if it had hit ten-thousand-year-old Cold Iron. Sparks flew, but it couldn’t even break the surface of his skin!

’How... How can he be this durable?!’

In the instant she lost her composure—

CRACK!

Clarity returned to Chu Fan’s eyes. His right hand became like a blade, and with a shrill, whistling sound, he brought a precise and ruthless Hand Blade down on her wrist!

Her Protective Primordial Qi shattered like paper-mâché. Ah Linglong’s sword-wielding hand, severed cleanly at the wrist, fell to the ground!

"AHH—!"

Indescribable pain instantly overwhelmed her senses. Ah Linglong let out a gut-wrenching scream, blood spraying from the wound as she stumbled backward!

But as fast as she retreated, Chu Fan advanced even faster!

Chu Fan’s face was grim. He took a single stride, his body arched like a bow and his right arm like a spear, as he smashed forward with an incredibly vicious elbow strike to the chest!

BOOM!

The spare Bone Shield that had just half-materialized in front of Ah Linglong was shattered like glass by the elbow strike!

Without losing any momentum, the elbow slammed heavily into Ah Linglong’s chest!

The sound of her sternum shattering was drowned out by the tremendous impact.

Chu Fan changed his elbow into a claw. His large hand, like an iron pincer, clamped around Ah Linglong’s slender neck and lifted her up as if she were a little chick.

Then, without a shred of pity for the fairer sex,

he viciously slammed her downward!

BOOM!!!

The ground quaked violently, and rubble flew into the air!

A large crater was forcefully smashed into the hard ground, sending dust and debris billowing everywhere.

The thirteen giant beasts that had been about to charge forward to save their master saw her—their seemingly invincible leader—being brutally beaten like a rag doll by this human. A very human-like fear appeared in all of their eyes.

They stopped dead in their tracks, letting out uneasy growls, not daring to take another step forward.

Just then—

WHOOSH!

A long arrow, wreathed in roaring flames, shot out from the distant forest with a piercing shriek, aimed straight for Chu Fan’s temple!ℴ
