Chapter 453: The Minion Almost Got Stolen

As Lin Fan confronted the ancient being Gu Hai, two figures floated silently in the void above, watching the scene unfold below with astonishment.

They had observed the situation for quite some time, deeply shocked by what they witnessed.

They never expected that in the Ancient Holy Realm, there would be someone so defiant, standing up fearlessly against the ancient race.

“What kind of strength is supporting him?” A young man in the void murmured in astonishment.

“He just said he is from the Human Race. Perhaps that’s the reason,” beside him, a woman replied, her eyes filled with awe.

They had been observing from the void for a while. Initially, they didn’t understand the situation and dared not make a sound. In this perilous Ancient Holy Realm, every step needed to be taken with caution.

Especially with an ancient race member below, they had to be even more cautious.

However, as they continued watching, their hearts were stirred.

Especially the human, enduring brutal attacks from the ancient race yet still shouting defiantly.

“Long live the Human Race!”

“You can’t kill me…”

These words exploded in their hearts like thunderclaps.

Their own races had also experienced such struggles. Yet in this cruel world, how many had turned traitor, groveling before the evil ancient race for survival.

“This person shouldn’t die here,” the woman beside the man said.

“Indeed, such people are rare in the Ancient Holy Realm,” the man replied.

“This ancient race has a powerful aura, likely at the middle stage of the Earth Heaven Position. If we take it by surprise, we might be able to kill it,” the man added.

As Lin Fan confronted Gu Hai, two figures silently floated in the void above.

They had been observing the situation below for quite some time, and what they witnessed left them utterly shocked.

They never expected that in the Ancient Saint Realm, there would be someone so unyielding, someone who would stand firm against the Ancient Clan with such indomitable spirit.

“What force is driving him?” muttered a young man in the void, his face filled with astonishment.

“He just said he’s from the Human Race, perhaps that’s it,” replied a woman beside him, her eyes shimmering with awe.

They had been watching from the void for a while now. Initially, they didn’t understand what was happening, so they remained silent. In the perilous Ancient Saint Realm, every step had to be taken with utmost caution.

Especially since there was a member of the Ancient Clan below, which made them even more wary.

But as they continued to watch, their hearts began to waver.

This human, despite being brutally beaten by the Ancient Clan, remained unyielding, shouting,

“Long live the Human Race!”

“You can’t kill me…”

These words struck like thunder, exploding in their hearts.

Their own race was no different, but in this cruel world, many within their race had turned traitors, groveling before the vile Ancient Clan to save their own lives.

“Such a person shouldn’t die here,” the woman beside the man spoke up.

“Indeed, in the Ancient Saint Realm, people like him are rare,” the man agreed.

“The aura of this Ancient Clan member is strong, likely at the mid-level of the Earth Heaven Rank. If we strike unexpectedly, we might be able to kill him,” the man suggested.

“Brother Xu, your Void Diamond Sword Intent is unparalleled, blending seamlessly into the void. Since the Ancient Clan hasn’t noticed us, it might work,” the woman said.

“Alright…” The man, Zhang Xu, nodded. In an instant, he flicked his finger, and a golden sword light silently sliced through the void, heading downward.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan watched as the Ancient Clan member before him was on the verge of collapse. He felt a surge of joy; he had already reaped the benefits, and now it was time to finish him off.

“Human, why won’t you fall…” Gu Hai roared in fury, his immense power erupting chaotically from within.

“You…” Lin Fan remained calm, about to taunt his opponent when suddenly, an unstoppable force pierced through the void.

“Damn it, someone’s trying to steal my kill,” Lin Fan’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t stand it; the Ancient Clan member was about to be his, and now someone was trying to take it away.

His ability to level up depended entirely on this Ancient Clan member.

The unstoppable sword intent tore through the void, and Lin Fan was certain that if the Ancient Clan member didn’t dodge, he would be cleaved in two.

But given the current state of the Ancient Clan member, it was clear he hadn’t noticed the hidden sword intent.

“Stop!” Lin Fan leaped forward, kicking the Ancient Clan member away.

At that moment, the unstoppable sword intent emerged from the void, appearing right in front of Lin Fan and slashing into the ground.

“That was close…” Lin Fan exhaled in relief. He had made it just in time; if the Ancient Clan member had been killed by that sword intent, he would have been devastated.

The two figures in the void also changed their expressions. “Let’s go, these two might be conspiring to lure us out.”

Zhang Xu saw the human kick the Ancient Clan member away, leading him to believe that the human wasn’t what they had thought. It was possible that the human and the Ancient Clan member were in cahoots, putting on a show.

Just as they were about to leave, a voice stopped them.

“There’s no need for your help. This guy insulted the Human Race, and I must kill him myself,” Lin Fan said, naturally not revealing that the monster was his experience point. If they killed it, all his efforts would be wasted.

Zhang Xu frowned slightly, exchanging a glance with the woman beside him, both puzzled by this human.

At that moment, the Ancient Clan member Lin Fan had kicked away shook his head and stood up.

“Damn it…” Gu Hai glared at Lin Fan, then turned his gaze to the two figures in the void, his face twisting into a vicious snarl.

“You insulted the Human Race, and today I will kill you,” Lin Fan declared, now that there were outsiders present, he couldn’t waste any more time.

“Boom…”

In an instant, Lin Fan’s figure vanished, only to reappear right in front of Gu Hai.

“What?” Gu Hai’s expression changed, filled with disbelief. How could this human have become so strong?

“I’ll cleave you…” Lin Fan gripped the Eternal Axe and brought it down heavily on Gu Hai.

“Bang…”

Gu Hai’s pupils contracted sharply. He couldn’t believe he would die at the hands of a human, especially one he had nearly beaten to death.

“I am the Ancient Clan’s Decurion, blessed by the heavens. I curse you to suffer the eternal pursuit of the Ancient Clan…” At that moment, something shocking happened.

The Ancient Clan member, cleaved in two by Lin Fan’s axe, suddenly emitted a red light from his body. His ferocious eyes locked onto Lin Fan, as if engraving him into his memory forever.

In an instant, the red light shot out from Gu Hai’s body and vanished into the heavens.

“Ding, congratulations on killing an Earth Heaven Rank Ancient Clan member.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 2000 experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”

“Rank: Earth Heaven Rank, initial stage.”

At this moment, Lin Fan was immersed in the exhilarating feeling of leveling up, his body filled with immense power.

Though he had experienced this many times before, the thrill of leveling up never faded.

The two figures in the void were equally shocked. This human was so strong; how could he have been beaten so badly by the Ancient Clan?

“Thank you both for earlier,” Lin Fan said, cupping his hands toward the void, though he was also a bit puzzled.

These two looked no different from humans.

But they exuded a sharp, sword-like aura.

The two figures slowly descended. “I am Zhang Xu from the Sword Realm, and this is my companion, Hai Lan.”

“Lin Fan from the Profound Yellow Realm,” Lin Fan introduced himself.

Indeed, the vast world wasn’t just inhabited by humans. Many realms had people who looked like this.

But what was this Sword Realm? Were they all sword wielders?

Lin Fan naturally didn’t want them to leave just yet. He wanted to learn more.

Judging by their appearance, they had clearly been in the Ancient Saint Realm for a long time and likely knew much.

Lin Fan then engaged them in conversation, asking about things he didn’t know.

“Alright…” Xu nodded, instantly flicking his finger. A golden sword beam tore through the void, silently rushing downward.

At this moment, Lin Fan saw the ancient race nearly collapsing and felt delighted. He had already gained the benefits he wanted and was ready to kill it.

“Why won’t you fall down, human…” Gu Hai roared furiously, his immense power violently erupting from his body, becoming somewhat chaotic.

“You…” Lin Fan’s expression remained calm. Just as he was about to mock his opponent, suddenly an unstoppable force pierced through the void.

“Oh no, someone’s stealing my kill,” Lin Fan’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t bear it any longer. The ancient race was about to be his prey, yet someone now wanted to kill this monster within reach. How could he tolerate that?

His own advancement depended entirely on this ancient race before him.

This unstoppable sword intent pierced through the void. Lin Fan believed that if the ancient race didn’t evade, it would surely be split in two.

Yet the current state of the ancient race clearly indicated it hadn’t noticed the hidden sword intent within the void.

“Stop!” In an instant, Lin Fan leapt up, rushing in front of the ancient race and kicking it away with one powerful stroke.

At that very moment, the unstoppable sword intent surged from the void, appearing suddenly before Lin Fan and directly striking the ground.

“That was close…” Lin Fan couldn’t help but sigh in relief. Fortunately, he had made it in time. Otherwise, if the ancient race had been killed by that sword intent, he would have nowhere to cry.

The two figures above, witnessing this scene, also changed expressions. “Quickly leave. These two might be working together to expose us.”

Seeing the human kick away the ancient race, Zhang Xu could only conclude that the human was not as he seemed. It was highly likely that he had colluded with the ancient race, staging this entire performance.

As the two prepared to leave swiftly, a voice reached them, causing them to halt.

“There’s no need for your help. This one insulted my Human Race; I must kill him with my own hands.” Naturally, Lin Fan couldn’t say that this monster was his source of experience. If they killed it, all his efforts would be in vain.

Zhang Xu slightly furrowed his brows, exchanging glances with the woman beside him, now filled with doubt about this human.

At this moment, the ancient race, kicked away by Lin Fan, shook his head and stood up.

“Damn it…” Gu Hai looked at Lin Fan, then shifted his gaze toward the two figures in the void, his expression turning fierce.

“You insulted my Human Race. Today, I will kill you.” With outsiders present, naturally Lin Fan couldn’t continue arguing with the ancient race.

“Boom…”

In an instant, Lin Fan’s figure vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gu Hai.

“What?” Gu Hai’s expression changed dramatically, hardly believing that this human could have become so powerful.

“I’ll split you…” Holding the Eternal Axe in his hand, he heavily swung it down at Gu Hai.

“Peng…”

Gu Hai’s pupils constricted sharply. He refused to believe he would die in the hands of a human, especially one he had beaten half to death.

“I am a Ten Chief of the Ancient Race, protected by the will of heaven. I curse you, ensuring that you and your descendants will forever be hunted by the Ancient Race…”

At that moment, a shocking scene unfolded before Lin Fan.

The Gu Hai, split in half by Lin Fan’s axe blow, suddenly emitted a red light from his body. His ferocious eyes stared at Lin Fan, as if wanting to etch his image into memory forever.

In an instant, this red light violently flew out from Gu Hai’s body and disappeared into the heavens and earth.

“Ding, congratulations on killing an ancient race member at the Earth Heaven Position.”

“Ding, congratulations on gaining 2000 experience points.”

“Ding, congratulations on leveling up.”

“Proficiency: Earth Heaven Initial Stage.”

At this moment, Lin Fan indulged in the exhilaration of leveling up, his body filled with a powerful force.

Although he had experienced this feeling many times before, every time he leveled up, it was still incredibly satisfying.

The two figures in the void, witnessing this scene, were also deeply shocked. How could this human be so powerful, and yet be beaten so severely by the ancient race?

“Just now, thank you both,” Lin Fan saluted towards the void, also somewhat puzzled.

These two looked exactly like humans of his race.

Yet, an aura of sharpness radiated from their bodies.

The two slowly descended from the void. “I am Zhang Xu from the Sword Realm, and this is my clanswoman, Hairan,” the young man introduced.

“Xuan Huang Realm, Lin Fan,” Lin Fan replied.

Indeed, in the vast world, not only humans looked like this; many beings from other realms also shared this appearance.

But what kind of realm was this Sword Realm? Could it be that everyone there wielded swords?

Naturally, Lin Fan wasn’t about to let the two leave just yet. He wanted to know more.

Judging from their appearance, they had clearly survived in the Ancient Holy Realm for a long time and must know a lot.

Subsequently, Lin Fan actively engaged them in conversation, inquiring about various things he didn’t know.
