Chapter 373: Your Body, I’ll Take It.

The Saint Sect members’ expressions changed drastically. In their eyes, no matter how powerful Lin Fan was, he absolutely could not have survived the punch of an ancient great demon.

“Master…” Mei Qiongqi stared blankly at the deep pit created by the ancient demon’s punch, wanting to struggle up and fight the ancient demon to the death, but his entire body felt as if his bones were shattered.

Yan Sect Leader and Elder Wuya, along with others, also wore expressions of sorrow. Lin Fan was the hope of the Saint Sect; how could he die like this?

Now, they were also at their wits’ end, merely waiting for death.

Although the blessing of Heaven’s Dao was powerful, it was still too weak before the ancient great demon.

Lu Yan lay there silently, his grand vow just made shattered by Lin Fan, and his last hope of resistance vanished into thin air.

The ancient great demon, with a fierce and savage gaze, its demonic body towering like a mountain, capable of destroying everything, exuded an aura so domineering that it filled people with despair.

“Too much… this is just too much…”

Just as everyone was filled with despair, a thunderous voice suddenly echoed across the heavens.

The voice brimmed with boundless fury and resentment.

“Is this any way to treat someone? Just appearing and getting beaten up—don’t you have any conscience?”

“Do you even know how much suffering I’ve endured?”

“My spirit was nearly shattered to pieces. I thought I’d finally feel the warmth of the world, but you—a puny little demon—without even saying a word, punched me straight down. How despicable!”

This voice reached everyone’s ears, and the other sects looked puzzled, unable to tell who was speaking.

But for the members of the Saint Sect, this voice was extremely familiar.

It was… Lin Fan.

He wasn’t dead…

“Boom…”

Lin Fan, once again punched into the ground, burst forth from the earth in an instant. His body, illuminated by radiant light, stood tall and mighty.

To the members of the Saint Sect, he was like a savior descending from the heavens.

“How is this possible… who exactly is he?”

The other sects were completely stunned. Surviving a punch from an ancient great demon unscathed was simply beyond comprehension.

But for the Saint Sect, it was a moment of boundless excitement.

“Lin Fan!”

“Senior apprentice!”

“Master…”

The Saint Sect members roared with joy, releasing their excitement.

Even Elder Wuya believed that this miraculous young man was a miracle himself. Perhaps with him, they would survive.

In an instant, the other sects, upon hearing the Saint Sect members’ cries, were left speechless.

The person who had survived the punch of an ancient great demon was actually from the Saint Sect.

“Master Yan, who is he?” the leaders of the other sects asked in unison.

Yan Sect Leader looked at his people and finally spoke slowly.

“He is the strongest among us.”

“And our last hope…”

Upon hearing this, the other sects were momentarily stunned.

The strongest?

Their last hope?

Did he really possess such power?

But why did he seem so unlikely? He was far too young, and the ancient great demon was overwhelmingly powerful, having completely extinguished their hopes.

Standing before the ancient great demon, Lin Fan appeared as tiny as an ant in the demon’s eyes.

“You tiny ant… you’re still alive?” The ancient demon’s heart stirred with shock. It had never seen an ant with such tenacity and vitality.

“Hmph, you think you can kill young master? You’re not capable of that yet.” Lin Fan raised his middle finger in mockery at the ancient demon, then turned his head toward the people lying on the ground.

“Why are you all here?”

“Senior apprentice, we were guided by Heaven’s Dao to come here and suppress him. Otherwise, the Dongling Continent would be devastated,” Zong Hentian explained.

Zong Hentian had not inherited any ancient master’s legacy. Everything he had achieved was through his own efforts.

Lin Fan’s expression turned serious, and he shook his head. “You’re no match for him. You shouldn’t have come here to die. But now that I’m here, you’re safe.”

Upon hearing these words, the Saint Sect members’ previously excited hearts suddenly calmed.

Why did that sound so irritating? Then they smiled. That kid was still the same as ever.

To the other sects, Lin Fan’s arrogance left a greatly diminished impression.

Boasting recklessly, too presumptuous.

With the ancient demon so powerful, did he really think he alone could suppress it?

Even with Heaven’s Dao enhancement, they had been no match. Did he really think he could?

“Damn it…” Lu Yan lay there helplessly, listening to that annoying guy showing off again, his heart filled with resentment.

He had just vowed to perish together with the ancient demon, but unexpectedly, this guy had stopped him.

As for the state of detachment and enlightenment Lu Yan had previously achieved, it had long since vanished.

“Ant, this time, you must die…” The ancient demon roared furiously, delivering a punch from the heavens, determined to kill this tiny ant.

“Be careful…” Seeing the punch from the ancient demon, the others cried out in fear.

Lin Fan glanced at the ancient demon and clenched his fist. “Damn it, you want to punch me again? Do you even know how long I’ve been mutilating myself just to kill you? You can’t possibly understand the torment I’ve endured.”

“If you want to fight, I’ll see it through.” Lin Fan tightened his fist and swung it forward, colliding once again with the ancient demon’s punch.

“Xiao Fan, don’t confront him directly!” Elder Wuya shouted desperately. The ancient demon’s strength was simply too overwhelming.

But at that moment, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes.

“Bang!”

The two fists collided, unleashing boundless might.

“Ah?” The ancient demon was momentarily astonished, as if unable to believe what it was seeing.

This human, no different from an ant, had actually withstood its punch.

“How is this possible?”

“Master Yan, what kind of monster is this guy?”

“Wow, senior apprentice is amazing.”

“Senior apprentice is so powerful.”

Zong Hentian and the others were already stunned. They had never imagined that their senior apprentice could withstand the punch of an ancient demon with just his physical body. It was simply terrifying.

“Master Yan, why didn’t you bring out this figure earlier? Why wait until we were all beaten to a pulp before showing off your Saint Sect’s strength?”

Hearing the complaints from the other sect leaders, Yan Sect Leader was also taken aback.

It wasn’t like that… really not like that.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile. Although his physical body had already broken through its limits, the ancient demon’s strength was still beyond his ability to resist directly.

But humans didn’t rely solely on cultivation; they also had intelligence.

Five sets of top-tier heavenly armor absorbed part of the force, leaving the remaining force manageable for his enhanced body to endure.

“Ding, congratulations!《Gengu Bumie》has gained 400 million experience points.”

Lin Fan stood calmly in place, no longer being sent flying as before.

“Great ancient demon, your punches are nothing but a tickle to young master now,” Lin Fan said with a domineering gaze fixed on the ancient demon, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

All of this had been achieved through endless torment he had endured, all for the purpose of killing you.

“Great ancient demon, today, your corpse belongs to young master.” Lin Fan now had his eyes on the demon’s body.

《Palm-sized Demon City》needed new power.
