Li Di had lost his patience with Lin Fan.
“Why does he have so many substitution puppets or whatever treasure that he’s using. But it’s not a surprise even if he does. He’s Tian Xu’s disciple after all.”
All of a sudden, Li Di glared at Lin Fan furiously. He was no longer looking at him disdainfully.
“Damn you. I must see your corpse!”
His murderous intent could be felt all over. Lin Fan was the only person in his eyes.
“Hmm, still trying to escape? What makes you think you will be able to? Who do you think I am?”
~You must be daydreaming to think that you’re able to leave after I activate the eye of disdain.~
“Eh!”
Without warning, changes could be seen taking place to Li Di, who was floating in the air.
“I’m the master of strength, an ant-like you has no right to resist me.”
A violent aura could be felt from Li Di’s body. Powerful law energy could be felt coiling around him, crushing the space around him.
The aura emitted from Li Di now was vastly different from the one that Lin Fan felt previously.
The strong aura flowed around Li Di’s body. Li Di raised his hand, blocking the sun.
“He is now using his true strength.”
Lin Fan knew that the eye of disdain would make his opponents go crazy and willing to do anything to kill him.
“Die.”
Li Di yelled and smacked Lin Fan hard. His palm shone brightly, and a force could be felt, making the ground sink.
Now, Lin Fan wasn’t only going against Li Di, but the entire world.
Pui!
Under the strong force, the ground even a few hundred miles away sank. The rocks on the ground were all flattened, with the surrounding plants destroyed too.
Suddenly!
Lin Fan felt a strong force pressing down on his body. He couldn’t even resist.
“What’s going on? This isn’t what I expected.”
Lin Fan shouted unhappily. But before he could finish his words, the ground sank. Li Di was giving his all, and he could destroy everything in the world with this strength.
Lin Fan’s body was crushed into ashes and disappeared.
~Powerful, he is really too powerful. I can’t even touch him!~
As soon as Lin Fan died, the eye of disdain no longer worked on Li Di.
Thus, he regained his senses.
“What was I doing?”
Li Di looked up. He lost control of his mind all of a sudden. But the sight of Lin Fan’s remains made him rage.
“So annoying. How dare you think you’re worthy of fighting me just because you have those substitute puppets? Wait till I come back with the blocking force. Let’s see how you survive then.”
Li Di was sick and tired of Lin Fan. But before he left, an idea came to him.
“Since you’re immortal, I’ll lock you up here. Try to resist me again when I come back with the blocking force.”
Li Di raised his hands and grabbed an air current over, concealing it. He made a cage with it and threw it onto the ground, right over the spot where Lin Fan died.
“Wait for my return here. Hmph!”
Szzz!
Li Di tore open space and left.
“Activate the eye of disdain.”
Immediately after Lin Fan woke up, he activated the eye of disdain. But he was in disbelief when he saw the scene in front of him.
“What the heck?”
He had experimented with Hei Gu. It might take ten seconds for him to revive. Still, ten seconds was needed to regain one’s senses, so there shouldn’t be any time difference.
But now, he was stuck in a grey shield. He could see outside of it, but there was nobody outside.
“What’s going on? Where is he?”
“Don’t tell me that Li Di’s willpower is so strong that he was unaffected by the eye of disdain?”
~However, this grey screen seems to be quite strong. He must be planning to trap me here.~
“He said that he’d go and get a blocking force to cut off my connection with any substitution puppets. I see that he must have gone to get it.”
Lin Fan stared outside blankly, unhappy with how things went.
“How could this be! I only lack a little more from filling my foundation!”
Lin Fan grumbled. ~Why did he leave?~
~But it made sense. Li Di used all his strength when he was under the effect of the eye of disdain. I couldn’t even resist.~
~I was killed immediately, and I couldn’t gain much energy.~
~It seems like “the more you fight, the stronger you get” only works if you fight. It appears that I’ll have to find cultivators who have similar strength to me or, at most someone who isn’t that much stronger than me.~
The grey cage trapping Lin Fan inside might be a cage instead of a seal, but anything that blocked Lin Fan’s way could be considered a seal.
He took a step forward and left the cage.
Lin Fan looked around after walking out. He was currently deep in thought. ~Haish, the difference between Li Di and me is too great. I didn’t expect that the Divine Religion would have such a powerful guardian. What’s good is that he uses brute strength skill sets like me.~
~I’ll become more powerful if I defeat him and steal his skillsets.~
“This was once a beautiful place, but unfortunately, it’s been destroyed by us; what a shame.”
Seeing that there was nobody around, Lin Fan took out his clothes and put them on. ~Luckily, there’s no one around, or they would see me naked.~
~Nobody has the right to see my beautiful body!~
Lin Fan tidied his clothes and left.
A land of darkness. A pitch-black crow could be seen standing on a withered tree, looking around with its bloody eyes and letting out chilling cries.
Even the ground was black in color, with worms wriggling everywhere.
A crack could be seen in space suddenly, revealing Li Di.
“Guardian Yin Ya, lend me your blocking force. I need it to kill someone.” Whoever Li Di wanted dead had to die.
The blocking force wasn’t a treasure but a law that Li Di didn’t learn.
“It’s surprising to see you borrowing things from me. It seems like your target is still alive. But what do you need it for?” Guardian Yin Ya answered through the crow.
“He has substitution puppets so he can keep reviving again and again. Only the blocking force will be able to cut his connection with his puppets. Hurry up.” The thought of Lin Fan repeatedly reviving really annoyed Li Di.
When had he come across such a situation before?
“It can’t be. There are no more substitution puppets in this world. You must have been mistaken, Li Di.”
Guardian Yin Ya said.
“Give me the blocking force! Are you trying to waste my time?”
Li Di snapped. He hated wasting time when he had something to do the most.
“Here.” A ray of light shot over. Li Di grabbed it and left swiftly.
All he wanted to do now was to kill Lin Fan.
~Nobody, especially arrogant people, have ever escaped my hands.~
Back at the wind cage.
“What on earth...”.
Li Di looked at the grey cage in a daze. Lin Fan was nowhere to be seen.
“Did he escape?”
Li Di couldn’t accept it.
He screamed in anger and punched the ground, making the ground crack.
“How could I fail?”
Li Di raged before leaving.
Lin Fan was flying through the air, deep in thought.
“This isn’t right. I have so many skills, yet I’m still not invincible. It seems like my ability is still lacking.”
~With my strength now, there’s not much I can do. I can only make real changes when I’m strong enough.~
~Look how badly I lost fighting Li Di. This shows that other elites might be even stronger.~
~Especially the Saint Convent Sect. They are the strongest sect in the world. This shows how powerful they must be.~
~I need more or both points and experience points. I need to think of better ways to get them.~
~Should I go to the Sunshine sect?~
~No. It’s dangerous; I made too much of a mess there. They should still be searching for me now.~
~And I might come across that crazy sword user.~
~I’ll take a bath while I think about it.~
Lin Fan took out The Imperial Cauldron of Heavenly River and put it on the ground. After making sure that there was nobody around, he started boiling the water.
He then sat in the cauldron and took a bath.
“Whatever, the Divine Religion are the ones that I should focus on now. The other sects aren’t much of a threat right now.”
He closed his eyes to enjoy his bath after making up his mind.
