Chapter 354: Head-to-Head, Battle Ignites Again!
"Courting death!"
The moment Lin Fan issued his provocation, the expressions of the three men behind Pang Hao turned icy cold.
Without waiting for Pang Hao's response, the trio erupted with surging Yuan Power and shot forward, their figures turning into a blur of afterimages as they charged at Lin Fan like phantoms in the air.
Three experts at half-step Life Profound Realm Perfection attacking at once—it was an intimidating display.
At least, it would have been to anyone other than Lin Fan and his companions.
Just as Lin Fan was about to act, a petite figure behind him moved first. With a flash, the massive black coffin lid appeared in her hands once more. She swung it with force, releasing a ripple of black energy that slammed directly into the incoming attackers.
Boom!
A deep sound echoed through the air.
The three men, whose attacks had looked so fierce a moment ago, were instantly sent flying, stumbling through the sky before barely managing to regain their balance.
The onlookers in the city exchanged shocked glances.
No one had expected the little girl at Lin Fan's side to possess such overwhelming strength!
"Trash like you dare to jump around in front of me? Aren't you afraid this little lady will smash you all into paste?"
Hovering in midair, the petite figure hugged the massive black coffin lid that nearly covered her whole body. She looked disdainfully at the trio she'd just sent flying, her voice crisp and mocking like silver bells.
"She's… Life Profound Realm Perfection?!"
Countless eyes stared in disbelief at the blue-clad young girl floating in the air. The aura radiating from her was shockingly at the level of Life Profound Realm Perfection.
That kind of strength placed her on par with even Pang Hao and Liu Xiangxuan!
Even Pang Hao was visibly taken aback by this sudden turn of events. His expression darkened as he glanced coldly at Mu Lingshan.
"So that's where your confidence comes from. I thought you were just being arrogant, but turns out you've got a decent helper. Still, do you really think that's enough?"
"Even if the Thunder Sea Domain restricts entry from some of Nine Nether Gate's forces, dealing with you shouldn't be that difficult."
"You should be grateful Lingshan was the one who acted just now," Lin Fan said with a cold glint in his eyes and a mocking smile. "Otherwise, your three lackeys would already be dead and buried."
Though Nine Nether Gate was stronger than Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Lin Fan had no intention of holding back because of it.
If anything, Pang Hao had only himself to blame for provoking him in the first place.
As his voice fell, Lin Fan unleashed the full force of his aura—undeniably at the level of Life Profound Realm Perfection—pressing it straight toward the Nine Nether Gate group.
Whoosh!
Sensing that terrifying pressure from Lin Fan, the onlookers in the city couldn't help but erupt in another wave of astonished murmurs.
"Lin Fan is actually a Life Profound Realm Perfection expert?!"
"No wonder he killed the Blood Blade Four so easily earlier!"
"Two out of the three in their group are Life Profound Realm Perfection... No wonder they're so confident!"
"Among the younger generation of Nine Nether Gate, isn't Pang Hao the only one to have reached that level?"
…
Pang Hao's eyes flickered darkly as he sensed the powerful aura emanating from Lin Fan. Yuan Power surged around him, and a terrifying energy began to leak out.
Pang Hao's strength… was also at Life Profound Realm Perfection!
"Gentlemen, we've all come here for the Reincarnation Temple. Isn't it a bit reckless to start fighting before we've even entered?"
Just as the two sides were about to clash, a soft and serene voice rang out from the tower.
Everyone looked up to see Liu Xiangxuan, dressed in flowing white, stepping forward gracefully.
Her stunning face came into full view under the gaze of countless people.
Liu Xiangxuan smiled gently. "Both of you hold Silver Tower keys. Opening the temple will require our cooperation. If anyone gets injured or killed before we even begin, it'll only delay everything."
Lin Fan glanced at Liu Xiangxuan and replied indifferently, "And where were you when Pang Hao was playing dirty earlier?"
"When Nine Nether Gate ambushed us, where were you then? Showing up now to play peacemaker—don't you think it's a bit late?"
Whoosh!
The crowd in the city collectively turned to stare at Lin Fan, surprised and even a little amused.
This guy really didn't hold back against anyone.
And to speak so bluntly even to a beauty like Liu Xiangxuan? That caught everyone off guard.
Liu Xiangxuan's smile froze for a moment. A flicker of displeasure passed through her eyes, though she quickly masked it with calm indifference.
"If you don't wish to take my advice, that's your decision," she said softly. "As long as it doesn't interfere with opening the Reincarnation Temple, I won't interfere."
With that, Liu Xiangxuan stepped back again, clearly showing she had no intention of intervening in their conflict.
"Heh, looks like even Xiangxuan's charm didn't work this time. This kid really is clueless when it comes to women," Pang Hao said with a smirk, then turned back to Lin Fan with a mocking grin.
"I was planning to let it go today for Xiangxuan's sake…"
"But since you're so eager to die, I'll gladly oblige."
Murderous intent surged from Pang Hao's eyes as he raised his hand—and in the next instant, a vicious-looking black halberd, over a meter long, appeared in his grasp.
An overwhelming aura burst out alongside his cold, grim voice.
Powerful waves of Yuan Power erupted from Pang Hao's body, shaking the air and causing many of the spectators to pale in shock.
There he stood, black halberd in hand, its vicious design emitting a faint, chilling glow. A savage aura of extreme sharpness pulsed from it.
The weapon was clearly a fearsome killing tool—and most likely a powerful Pure Yuan artifact.
"Whoa… what an aura. He really is Nine Nether Gate's top prodigy."
"That halberd—could it be the Sky-Splitting Ghost Halberd? I heard it's a mid-grade Pure Yuan treasure. Its destructive power is no joke."
"Looks like Lin Fan's in for some serious trouble now..."
…
Boom!
A murderous gleam flashed in Pang Hao's eyes as he suddenly shook the black halberd in his hand. A piercing screech rang out, thick with the stench of bloodlust.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Pang Hao moved—his figure vanishing like a phantom as he shot toward Lin Fan.
The halberd in his hand swung like a venomous serpent, unleashing dozens of razor-sharp strikes in an instant, all aimed at Lin Fan's vital points like a torrential downpour.
Pang Hao clearly had no intention of holding back—he was aiming to end Lin Fan's life in a single blow...
