Lin Fan was ready to proceed on his journey to the territory of King Wei when, halfway through, something unexpected occurred.
In the distance at this moment, two groups were locked in combat.
Well, it couldn’t really be called two groups. One side was just a single person—a woman.
Her face was obscured, but her movements were earth-shaking, her power surging. Surrounded by six attackers, she still held back.
“Divine Heaven Stage, first level—True Dao Realm.”
Her cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, but what shocked Lin Fan the most was that among the six surrounding her, one was a Domain-stage expert.
Yet this woman, even under their combined assault, showed no sign of defeat, which Lin Fan found unbelievable.
It seemed the Ancient Sage Realm was indeed filled with many prodigies.
Countless races and beings from the lower realms had ascended to this grand world. Those who managed to ascend through their own strength were all extraordinary geniuses. Thus, encountering some who defied the heavens wasn’t surprising.
However, in Lin Fan’s eyes, the human race from the Xuanhuang Realm was the most brilliant.
The Heavenly Dao of Xuanhuang had been split in two, its rules incomplete, making cultivation extremely difficult. Anyone who managed to reach the peak of the Great Heaven Stage in Xuanhuang was a genius among geniuses.
Compared to other grand realms, reaching the peak of the Great Heaven Stage in Xuanhuang was undoubtedly several times harder.
“Who is this woman, and who are those six?” Lin Fan remained hidden in the void, watching carefully. He hesitated.
Heroically rescuing a beauty?
That thought had never crossed his mind. Those who lusted after beauty often didn’t know how they died.
Neither side belonged to the ancient clans; both were beings from the grand realms. If he were to kill them all, it wouldn’t be impossible.
But Lin Fan understood that even among the grand races, there were good people. To kill indiscriminately would be unjustifiable.
“Red Cloud Immortaless, hand over the item!” The man, the only one at the second level of the Divine Heaven Stage—Domain Realm—shouted fiercely.
“How could you attack me? We’re all beings of the grand races. We should unite against the ancient clans,” Red Cloud Immortaless, dressed in a flowing red gown with wide sleeves, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, jade sashes around her arms, exuding a subtle fragrance, her eyes like precious pearls, her slender waist delicate and fragile, was now trapped by the six attackers. Her bright eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of anger in her expression.
“Hmph, I’ll say this one last time—hand it over, or we’ll strip you bare and let you experience our brothers’ overwhelming dominance,” the Domain expert said, his eyebrows snow-white, his aura filled with malevolence, his eyes like those of an eagle, gleaming with sinister intent.
“Despicable perverts!” Red Cloud Immortaless shouted furiously. Her jade sashes flew into the sky, covering the heavens and darkening the sun.
“This woman is only at the True Dao Realm, yet she’s proving to be such a pain,” Wan Wujun cursed inwardly, his hands never stopping.
The six of them were notorious villains in the Ancient Sage Realm, even more ruthless and cruel than the ancient clans. They looted without restraint, seizing anything that seemed valuable.
This time, while wandering through the Ancient Sage Realm, they had seen a streak of radiant light in the distance. They immediately gave chase and saw the woman holding a talisman. The talisman had emitted a burst of colorful light before dimming again.
They realized the talisman must be a rare treasure. Seeing that the woman was only at the first level of the Divine Heaven Stage—True Dao Realm—they couldn’t help but feel greedy.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also possessed a rare treasure. This deal was worth pursuing.
Yet after chasing her for a full day and night, they discovered that although her cultivation wasn’t high, she had many techniques. Even with his Domain-stage power, he couldn’t subdue her.
“This is pure robbery and assault, with rape on the side. These guys are truly evil,” Lin Fan observed the scene, finally understanding.
He hadn’t expected these six to be so wicked.
At this moment, Lin Fan speculated that the woman must possess a treasure, and not just any ordinary one.
Robbing treasures and killing people—Lin Fan had done plenty of that, but always against villains. This woman didn’t seem evil. Killing her for her treasure would clearly be dishonorable.
But if he saved her, perhaps a romantic subplot would unfold—maybe even a marriage proposal or a gift of the treasure. That wasn’t impossible.
This deal could be done.
As Lin Fan contemplated his options, the situation on the battlefield shifted.
The Domain-stage man suddenly unleashed his Domain. His Domain was indeed peculiar—it contained many children from the grand races, innocent-looking. But Lin Fan understood that these children were deceivingly dangerous.
Yet what left everyone stunned was that the woman hesitated, dodging and avoiding the children, unable to bring herself to strike. What the hell was going on? Was she some kind of saint?
“How despicable! You use children to form your Domain. Are you even one of us grand race beings anymore? You’re even more cruel than the ancient clans!” Red Cloud Immortaless, caught in the Domain, faced the children and hesitated to attack, for they were real.
As she raged, a child suddenly appeared behind her and struck a palm.
And the child transformed into Wan Wujun.
“Hehehe! Didn’t expect it to be this easy. I should have taken you down earlier,” Wan Wujun, surprised that the woman couldn’t bring herself to harm the children, burst into laughter.
Back when he broke through to the second level of the Divine Heaven Stage—Domain Realm—he had once regretted his Domain, thinking it flashy but not powerful enough.
Now he realized his Domain was actually quite formidable.
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Red Cloud Immortaless’s mouth. Clearly injured, her aura weakened.
“Chief, don’t cripple the girl. That won’t be fun later,” said a bald man.
“Hehehe…”
A chorus of mocking laughter came from the six men.
“How could you kill these innocent children?” Red Cloud Immortaless glared at Wan Wujun, her heart aching for the children, her eyes reddening.
At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood. Yet he couldn’t figure out how such a kind-hearted girl had survived this long.
But judging from the situation, it was time for him to make his move.
“Hehe, little lady, the worst is yet to come,” Wan Wujun said, his hand stretching out toward Red Cloud Immortaless.
This demonic hand seemed to possess strange power, peeling away layers like silk, intending to strip Red Cloud Immortaless bare.
“Ha! Our chief’s ultimate move is here. Soon, this little beauty will be exposed before us, completely naked.”
…
“Damn it, their ultimate move is ‘completely naked’?” Lin Fan’s mind exploded the moment he heard it.
He had to act. This move must be stopped. Such an abominable technique had no place in this world—it must be eliminated to prevent further harm.
In an instant, Lin Fan’s figure flashed forward, appearing majestically and powerfully in the sky.
At this moment, Red Cloud Immortaless stared at that demonic hand, her heart tightening. Suddenly, she felt as if she were sealed, unable to move at all.
Despair. Red Cloud Immortaless felt despair. Death wasn’t frightening, but being violated by these people was worse than death itself.
“Under the bright sun and clear sky, you six dare to speak such filth. You truly disgrace the customs of Heaven and Earth.”
At that moment, a thunderous voice rang out.
Wan Wujun’s demonic hand couldn’t withstand the sound of that thunderous voice and shattered piece by piece.
An overwhelming power shook the entire battlefield.
