Chapter 353: Be Friends With Me, Lin Fan? You Think You're Worthy?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Icy thunder spears howled through the air, shattering the ground below. Lu Zong and his men stared in horror as the thunder spears rapidly expanded in their pupils.
From those spears, they felt the unmistakable scent of death!
"Retreat, now!"
Lu Zong's blood aura surged violently as he roared and tried to flee backward at full speed, desperate to avoid the thunder spears that spelled his end.
The other three also frantically retreated, their once-arrogant expressions now twisted into fear.
But the four of them couldn't escape.
The thunder spears, laced with killing intent, caught them almost simultaneously. Their terrified expressions froze in an instant.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The next second, four deafening explosions rang out in unison.
The icy thunder spears were like the divine judgment of the Thunder God—delivering death without mercy.
The Blood Blade Four… annihilated in a single strike!
Everyone watching the sudden outcome sucked in a cold breath.
Four experts at the Great Completion of the Life Profound Realm—one of them even at its peak—were wiped out just like that?
"Anyone else want the Silver Tower key?"
Lin Fan casually waved his hand, collecting the qiankun pouches of Lu Zong and the others. Then he lifted his head, his pitch-black eyes sweeping over the crowd. His calm voice echoed through the entire area.
The once-bustling city abruptly fell into silence.
Many people stared at the tall figure from a distance, eyes filled with shock.
His ruthless methods and cold attitude were enough to make even seasoned killers flinch.
No one had expected Lin Fan to kill Lu Zong's group so cleanly and swiftly.
In fact, most hadn't even reacted before the fight was already over.
They'd all been expecting a fierce, drawn-out battle—but before it had even properly begun, it was already finished.
Everyone present could clearly sense how decisive and merciless Lin Fan's strike had been.
He hadn't given Lu Zong's group the slightest chance. One move—instant kill!
That level of ruthlessness made it clear: this young man wasn't someone you could mess with lightly. If you wanted to provoke him, you'd better be prepared to die horribly.
Lin Fan's overwhelming strength and ruthless actions were enough to intimidate most of the crowd.
So when his words fell, not a single voice rose to challenge him. The scene was dead silent.
Those who had been itching to make a move now had to suppress their greed.
They may have coveted the Silver Tower key—but they valued their lives even more.
"Hehe, quite the show of strength, my friend. No wonder you were able to obtain the third Silver Tower key."
From atop the stone tower, Pang Hao smiled at the scene below and began applauding slowly, his tone gentle and relaxed.
At the same time, the teasing glint in his eyes faded noticeably.
He had heard of the Blood Blade Four before. Together, they could pose a threat even to a Life Profound Realm Perfection expert.
But now, Lin Fan had killed all four in a single move. That kind of strength... even Pang Hao hadn't expected it.
Inside the stone tower, Liu Xiangxuan played with the jade ring on her slender fingers. Her beautiful eyes lifted to the tall figure in the distance, a trace of surprise flashing across them.
So this Lin Fan really wasn't simple…
No wonder he'd managed to snatch a Silver Tower from a Death Profound Realm expert. Even if he'd used some sort of trick, just pulling it off was something to be proud of.
After all, stealing from a Death Profound Realm powerhouse wasn't something just anyone could do.
"Friend?"
In the center of the crowd, Lin Fan frowned slightly, feigning confusion.
"When did I ever have a friend like you—a two-faced snake who likes to play dirty behind people's backs? Be friends with me, Lin Fan? You think you're worthy?"
Whoosh!
The entire city erupted in shock at Lin Fan's words.
Even though he had just demonstrated incredible power by instantly killing the Blood Blade Four, and even though most people knew they had no chance of defeating him—
He was still talking to Pang Hao!
This was Pang Hao, leader of the Four Devil Generals of Nine Nether Gate!
Not only was Pang Hao immensely powerful—easily one of the strongest people in this city—more importantly, he had the Nine Nether Gate behind him.
Yet Lin Fan dared to humiliate him like this?
"Does Lin Fan think that just because he killed Lu Zong's group, he's invincible in the Devil Sea?"
"He dares to disrespect Pang Hao like that... things won't end well for him."
"I wonder how Pang Hao and Nine Nether Gate will respond?"
"Whatever happens, looks like we've got a good show ahead of us!"
…
On the stone tower, the smile on Pang Hao's face vanished. His expression grew icy, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"Calling you a friend was just being polite. Did you really think you were someone special?"
"I know you've got some skills… but trying to act tough in front of Nine Nether Gate? You're not quite there yet."
"Is that so?" Lin Fan's eyes flashed coldly, and he sneered. "In that case, I'd love to see for myself just how capable the so-called leader of the Four Devil Generals really is."
"I've already proven that I'm qualified to carry the Silver Tower key. Now let me test whether you're worthy of holding one too."
Pang Hao's gaze turned even colder at those words. He raised his palm slightly—and suddenly, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the sky above.
Figures moved like ghosts, appearing high over the city. Each one radiated a powerful aura—practically all of them were Life Profound Realm experts.
The many strong cultivators in the city raised their eyebrows. It looked like Pang Hao really did plan to make a move on Lin Fan.
Lin Fan looked up, scanning the air casually. His expression didn't shift in the slightest as he took in the figures around Pang Hao.
"The Four Devil Generals of Nine Nether Gate are all here!"
"These four are the cream of the crop among Nine Nether Gate's younger generation. I can't believe they sent them all. They're really going all out."
Amid the hushed whispers, a man behind Pang Hao grinned and stared at Lin Fan with cold, sinister eyes.
"Boss, looks like this kid doesn't know how to show respect. Should we just take the Silver Tower from him?"
"If you're gonna fight, then get down here already," Lin Fan said coldly, lifting an eyelid and hooking a finger at Pang Hao and his men. "Don't waste everyone's time."
