Chapter 1005: Backed Down, Truly Backed Down

“Mo Zun, did you hear what my big brother said? He’s asking you to come and die!” Qiu Zhanyu roared.

Lin Fan frowned slightly. This Mo Zun was quite domineering, remaining completely still. Could it be that he didn’t take Lin Fan seriously at all?

This was indeed awkward.

“Big brother, this guy seems to look down on us,” Golden Mushroom said, somewhat angrily.

They hadn’t expected they’d ever be this arrogant themselves—following their big brother and directly challenging a cultivator at the Xuan Immortal level. Such a situation was incredibly audacious.

“Seeking death.”

Lin Fan’s brows knitted together. The sword intent he’d recently cultivated erupted suddenly. A crystal-clear sword intent pierced through the heavens and earth, instantly rushing toward the Mo Zun seated in midair.

The sharp sword intent, unstoppable and indestructible, caused the entire abyssal void to tremble.

“Big brother is so strong,” Qiu Zhanyu and the others said in shock.

Puchi!

Wherever the sword intent passed, no one could resist. It instantly cut down the Mo Zun, whose body exploded violently into a pool of blood splashing across the sky.

“Big brother, you’re awesome,” the two exclaimed in admiration.

At this moment, Lin Fan was somewhat puzzled. Damn it, could this really be the legendary Mo Zun? But he was way too weak.

He was directly killed by Lin Fan’s sword.

Too simple, way too simple.

It was almost unbelievable.

But strangely, after killing this Mo Zun, why hadn’t the system issued any notification?

At this moment, Lin Fan’s mind raced.

“Demon Lord, did you hear what my big brother said? He’s calling you to come and meet your death,” roared Autumn Slash Fish.

Lin Furrowed his brows. This Demon Lord is quite domineering, still not moving an inch. Could it be that he doesn’t take me, Lin Fan, seriously?

This is really awkward.

“Big brother, it seems like this guy doesn’t take us seriously,” said Golden Needle Mushroom with some anger.

They never thought they would one day be so bold, following their big brother to challenge a powerhouse of the Mystic Immortal Realm. This situation is truly domineering.

“Looking for death.”

Lin Fan’s brows knitted together, and the sword intent he had recently cultivated burst forth. A clear sword intent pierced the heavens and earth, then instantly slashed towards the Demon Lord sitting in the void.

The sharp sword intent, indestructible, caused the entire abyss void to tremble.

“Big brother is so strong,” said Autumn Slash Fish and the other in shock.

Swoosh!

Wherever the sword intent passed, no one could stop it. It instantly killed the Demon Lord, and his body exploded into a pile of blood, scattering across the heavens and earth.

“Big brother is amazing,” they exclaimed in awe.

Lin Fan was also puzzled. What the hell, is this the legendary Demon Lord? But he’s way too weak.

He was killed with just one strike from my sword.

Simple, really too simple.

It’s almost unbelievable.

But it’s strange, why didn’t I hear the system’s notification after killing the Demon Lord?

At this moment, Lin Fan’s mind raced.

Could it be that the Demon Lord was already severely injured and dead before? And that demoness on the ground didn’t know, thinking the Demon Lord was still alive, luring people into a trap.

Damn it!

What a loss, I didn’t gain any benefits at all. It’s really a dog’s life.

“Who is it…”

At this moment, a thunderous roar echoed through the surrounding void.

Just a single sound caused the entire void to tremble.

A surge of demonic energy erupted from the ground, solidifying into a pair of demonic eyes. These eyes looked down upon the heavens and earth, then scanned over Lin Fan and the others standing there.

“I didn’t expect someone to come in and seek death…”

Lin Fan, who was feeling puzzled, instantly froze when he saw those demonic eyes.

Autumn Slash Fish and his brother, who had just felt so domineering, were now completely dumbfounded, their legs trembling.

“B…big brother, what…what is this?” stuttered Autumn Slash Fish.

Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling an urge to die.

Only now did Lin Fan realize that the thing earlier wasn’t the Demon Lord, but a sacrificial offering for the Demon Lord’s healing.

“Damn it…” Lin Fan roared in his heart, then quickly grabbed the two, “Run!”

Although he hadn’t seen the Demon Lord’s true form, just by the demonic eyes and the surge of demonic energy from the ground, Lin Fan was already convinced.

This is not something I can face right now.

This is really a big demon.

“Since you’ve come, then come in. It seems the bait I set has been discovered by you. Do you think that just because I’m injured, you few ants can suppress me?”

Boom!

The earth cracked, and from the ground, one after another black pillars pierced through, completely sealing off all directions.

“Let’s fly,” Lin Fan didn’t hesitate, immediately trying to escape into the void.

But when Lin Fan looked up, ready to enter the void, he saw red ribbons writhing like pythons, densely intertwined, as if being caught by these would mean certain death.

At this moment, Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling a pang of regret. Did I just dig my own grave here?

“Demon Lord, it’s a misunderstanding, we’re here to deliver medicine.”

At this moment, Lin Fan, who had been silent, suddenly shouted.

“Haha, do you take me for a fool?” The voice came from the ground again, filled with disdain.

“Demon Lord, it’s a misunderstanding. The three of us are truly sincere, really here to deliver medicine. This Qiankun Invincible Healing Pill can help the Demon Lord recover. If the Demon Lord doesn’t believe, you can take a look yourself,” Lin Fan didn’t hesitate, immediately throwing the Liyun Pill over.

The pill disappeared into the void, as if caught by an invisible hand.

Then, the void fell silent again.

For a long time, there was no sound.

“Big brother, what should we do?” Autumn Slash Fish asked, a bit scared.

Golden Needle Mushroom also kept nodding, it’s really terrifying.

“Don’t panic,” Lin Fan held his breath, also wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Just by this aura, this Demon Lord is not someone I can handle.

This aura must have surpassed the Mystic Immortal Realm. As for how strong, I really don’t know. If I don’t see it with my own eyes, I probably won’t know.

Sure enough, not long after, a voice filled with joy and supreme authority came.

“Do you have more of this pill?” The Demon Lord roared, as if sensing the pill’s miraculous effects.

“Yes, yes, we came here to help the Demon Lord recover,” Lin Fan shouted.

“Good, very good. As long as you provide me with enough pills, I can take you as my disciple, making you a great demon in the heavens and earth,” the Demon Lord said.

“Thank you, Demon Lord, I’m almost moved to tears,” Lin Fan wiped the corner of his eye, then took out another handful of pills, “Demon Lord, this is the last batch, I hope it helps.”

He threw the pills over, and they disappeared into the heavens and earth.

Lin Fan now lowered his head, his mind racing.

“What to do? What to do? If this doesn’t work, it’s really a disaster,” Lin Fan thought.

This is really a bad start. Coming out to make a name for myself, I killed a mid-level True Immortal Realm powerhouse, making me a True Immortal. But who would have thought, entering this underground place to make a big profit, this Demon Lord is just a freak, completely unexpected.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom were now completely dumbfounded. The situation changed too quickly.

Just after recognizing a big brother, they have to accompany him to seek death.

Boom!

Sure enough, not long after, a powerful aura burst forth.

“Good, I didn’t expect these pills to help me recover two layers of my injuries, very good…” The Demon Lord’s voice came, filled with excitement.

Originally, the Demon Lord was severely injured. Without these pills, it would take at least a hundred years to recover. But now, two layers have been healed.

“What is your name?” At this moment, a figure appeared in the heavens and earth.

When Lin Fan saw this figure, he was stunned. What a flamboyant man.

If this man were on Earth, he would definitely be licked to death by all kinds of girls and aunties.

But this is the Endless Continent, and the Demon Lord before me is definitely a ruthless character.

“Answering the Demon Lord, my name is Lin Fan,” Lin Fan shouted, then secretly glanced.

Damn…

Golden Immortal Perfection.

This is even more powerful than a Mystic Immortal.

Damn, a Golden Immortal Perfection powerhouse, even if severely injured, can still easily kill me.

Oh crap!

What a huge loss. Nothing beneficial at all. Indeed, it was a dog’s situation.

“Who…”

Just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed throughout the surrounding void.

Merely a sound caused the entire void to tremble.

A surge of terrifying devilish energy abruptly erupted from underground. This devilish energy solidified into a tangible form, eventually transforming into a pair of demonic eyes. These eyes surveyed heaven and earth, then shifted their gaze toward Lin Fan and the others standing there.

“Didn’t expect anyone to come here to die…”

Lin Fan, who had been somewhat puzzled, was immediately stunned upon seeing those demonic eyes.

Qiu Zhanyu and Golden Mushroom, who had just felt proud and mighty, were equally dazed, their legs trembling.

“Bi… Big brother, wh… what is this?” Qiu Zhanyu stuttered.

Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling like he wanted to die.

Only now did Lin Fan realize that the previous figure wasn’t the real Mo Zun at all—it was merely a sacrificial offering used by the Mo Zun for healing.

Damn it…

Lin Fan inwardly roared in anger, then quickly grabbed the two, shouting, “Run!”

Although he hadn’t seen the true form of the Mo Zun yet, just from this pair of demonic eyes and the devilish energy erupting from underground, Lin Fan had already accepted defeat.

This was simply beyond his current capabilities.

This truly was a great devil.

“Since you’ve come, then come in. It seems my bait has already been discovered by you. Do you think, because this master has been injured, you puny insects can subdue me?”

Bang!

The earth cracked, and from underground, one after another black pillar pierced through, completely sealing off all directions.

“Let’s fly,” Lin Fan didn’t hesitate at all, immediately attempting to escape into the void.

But as Lin Fan lifted his head, just about to enter the void, he discovered red ribbons weaving through the sky above.

These red ribbons were like snakes, constantly writhing and intertwining densely. It seemed that if one were to be bound by these things, there would be no escape from death.

At this moment, Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling a sense of dread. Had he brought this doom upon himself?

“Mo Zun misunderstood us—we’ve come to deliver medicine.”

Suddenly, Lin Fan, who had been silent for a while, shouted loudly.

“Hmph, do you take this devil for a fool?” The voice came again from underground, filled with disdain.

“Mo Zun misunderstood us. We three are truly sincere toward the Mo Zun. We’ve really come to deliver medicine for the Mo Zun. This Qiankun Invincible Healing Pill can help the Mo Zun recover from injuries. If the Mo Zun doesn’t believe me, please take a look personally.” Without hesitation, Lin Fan directly threw the Li Yun Pill forward.

The pill vanished into the void, as if caught by an invisible hand.

Then, the void fell silent again.

For a long time, there was no sound.

“Big brother, what should we do now?” Qiu Zhanyu asked nervously.

Golden Mushroom nodded continuously. This was really scary.

“Don’t panic,” Lin Fan held his breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Judging from this aura, this Mo Zun was definitely beyond his capability.

This aura had already surpassed the Xuan Immortal level. As to how powerful it was, he really didn’t know. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t tell.

Sure enough, not long after, a voice filled with surprise and supreme majesty came forth.

“Do you have more of these pills?” The Mo Zun roared, seemingly having sensed the pill’s miraculous effects.

“Yes, yes! We came here specifically to help the Mo Zun heal,” Lin Fan shouted.

“Good, indeed very good. As long as you supply this master with enough pills, I shall accept you as my disciple, making you a great devil under heaven and earth,” the Mo Zun declared.

“Thank you, Mo Zun. I’m almost moved to tears,” Lin Fan wiped the corner of his eye, then took out a handful of pills, “Mo Zun, this is the last batch. I hope it will help.”

He threw the pills forward again, which vanished once more into the void.

At this moment, Lin Fan lowered his head, his mind racing.

“What should I do? What the hell should I do now? If this doesn’t work, it’s really going to be a disaster,” Lin Fan thought.

This was truly a setback right from the start. When he first set out, he had killed a mid-stage True Immortal expert, allowing him to become a True Immortal himself. Yet, who could have imagined that upon entering this underground realm to seek fortune, the Mo Zun turned out to be an absolute freak, completely beyond expectation.

At this moment, Qiu Zhanyu and Golden Mushroom were utterly bewildered—the situation had changed too quickly.

They hadn’t expected that right after pledging loyalty to their big brother, they’d be following him to their deaths.

Boom!

Sure enough, not long after, a mighty aura suddenly erupted.

“Good! Unexpectedly, these pills have healed two-tenths of my injuries. Very good…” The Mo Zun’s voice came, filled with excitement.

Previously, the Mo Zun had been severely injured. Without these pills, it would have taken at least a hundred years to recover. But now, two-tenths of the injuries were already healed.

“What’s your name?” At this moment, a figure appeared in the sky.

When Lin Fan saw this figure, he was stunned. Damn, what an outrageously handsome man!

If this man were on Earth, he would be the kind of person adored and fawned over by countless girls and even middle-aged women.

But this was the Endless Continent, and this Mo Zun before him was undoubtedly a ruthless character.

“Reporting to the Mo Zun, my humble name is Lin Fan,” Lin Fan loudly replied, then secretly cast a glance.

Holy crap…

Golden Immortal at peak cultivation!

This was a being even more formidable than a Xuan Immortal.

Damn it, even if this Golden Immortal at peak strength was severely injured, he could still easily kill Lin Fan.
