Chapter 1001: Big Brother, We Were Wrong

“What kind of pill is this? It smells so fragrant,” said King Oyster, holding the pill in his hand. As he slowly took a whiff, his spirit surged with energy, as if he were about to soar into the sky.

“This is the Primordial Energy Pill, capable of instantly replenishing any drained magical energy,” Lin Fan explained.

Autumn Blade Fish, who had been watching while eating melon seeds, put down his melon and took the pill in his hand, astonished. “This is indeed a rare treasure.”

“Of course,” Lin Fan replied with a smile.

“What kind of elixir is this? It smells so fragrant,” Golden Needle Mushroom held the pill in his hand, taking a slow whiff, and instantly felt invigorated, as if he were about to soar into the heavens.

“This is the Primordial Law Pill. It can instantly replenish all consumed mana,” Lin Fan explained.

Autumn Slash Fish, who had been munching on a watermelon, put it down and took the pill in his hand, his expression one of astonishment. “This is a treasure!”

“Of course,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

These two fellows were both at the high-level Ancient Realm.

They were average in strength, not particularly powerful, but with the supreme immortal artifact, the Heaven Net, even a True Immortal Realm cultivator might not be able to defeat them.

Once caught in the net, one would be completely immobilized.

These two had survived until now solely because of this Heaven Net.

“Little brother, come here,” Autumn Slash Fish beckoned.

The two stood not far away, whispering to each other as if discussing something, all the while glancing at Lin Fan, as if their conversation revolved around him.

“This guy is too reasonable; it’s hard to bring myself to act against him,” Autumn Slash Fish said.

“Big brother, I feel the same. All the people we’ve netted before wanted to kill us, so we couldn’t let them go. But this guy hasn’t cursed us or tried to deceive us. He seems like a decent person,” Golden Needle Mushroom nodded in agreement.

“Should we let him go?” Autumn Slash Fish asked uncertainly.

“Then let him go,” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

“Wait, if we release him and he suddenly attacks us, what then?” Autumn Slash Fish voiced his concern again.

“Big brother, that does complicate things.”

As the two were discussing this, the void suddenly underwent a transformation.

A dark cloud blotted out the sky, filled with countless flickering black lights, exuding a high level of demonic energy. The cloud quickly condensed into the shape of a skull, its toothless black mouth opening wide and letting out a furious roar.

“You two, I’ve finally found you.”

The demonic energy was overwhelming, filled with deep resentment. A chilling wind swept through the heavens and the earth, instilling an infinite sense of fear in everyone’s hearts.

Lin Fan looked at the situation in the void, somewhat puzzled, unsure who had arrived.

“Big brother, an enemy has come for us,” Golden Needle Mushroom exclaimed upon seeing the dark cloud.

“I see, don’t panic. Let’s prepare for battle,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, stuffing the watermelon into his mouth and swallowing it in a few bites.

“Who are you?” Autumn Slash Fish’s plump body trembled as he looked up and shouted.

“Hmph, you two little scum, weren’t you having a great time that day?”

A sinister voice emanated from behind the dark cloud, which then continued to condense, forming a figure.

The two brothers’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing the figure, and they exclaimed, “It’s you…”

The figure had a cold face, a sharp aura, and his cultivation had reached the mid-level True Immortal Realm.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom were nervous; this guy was a powerhouse from one of the Six Great Sects, the Heavenly Demon Sect.

“You two little scum, you took advantage of me when I was severely injured after a battle with someone else, ambushing me with your artifact. Even if I were to cut you into a thousand pieces, it wouldn’t be enough to quell my rage,” Yin Zhenfeng said fiercely, his heart burning with anger.

At the same time, he remembered that treasure vividly.

That great net was no ordinary item; it had trapped him and even sealed his internal mana. How could he not want to seize such a treasure?

Thus, after recovering from his injuries, Yin Zhenfeng had been searching everywhere for these two.

Originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy to find them, but these two had taken one of his treasures and would occasionally take it out to look at it.

The treasure carried Yin Zhenfeng’s aura, so whenever it was taken out, he could naturally sense it.

“Big brother, what should we do?” Golden Needle Mushroom asked nervously, his thin face tense.

“Stay calm, we need to stay calm,” Autumn Slash Fish said, though he was also nervous. This guy’s strength far surpassed theirs.

Their reliance was the Heaven Net, but now that the net had already trapped someone, if they released it, that person would escape.

“Big brother, I think we should compensate the guy trapped in the net and get him not to act against us,” Golden Needle Mushroom suggested.

“That makes sense, little brother. Your suggestion is good,” Autumn Slash Fish’s eyes lit up, and he immediately went to Lin Fan.

“Brother, sorry about earlier. We netted the wrong person. Here’s your pill back, and these are some compensations we’re giving you. You should leave quickly. This guy is fierce, and if a fight breaks out later, it’ll be disastrous,” Autumn Slash Fish felt a bit unlucky.

He hadn’t expected the guy they had once netted to come looking for them; it was quite a predicament.

Lin Fan looked at Autumn Slash Fish, sighing inwardly. He wanted to see how these two would handle this situation, given the vast difference in their strength. How would they overcome this calamity?

“It’s fine,” Lin Fan said. He wasn’t sure if these two were truly foolish or just pretending.

“You, don’t get too cocky. We netted you once, and we can net you again,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted at Yin Zhenfeng in the void.

“Is that so? Then show me what you’ve got. I’ll take that treasure of yours as well,” Yin Zhenfeng, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, was no ordinary figure. With a single move, his aura surged, and his palm strike was accompanied by swirling demonic energy.

The demonic energy instantly condensed into a massive demonic figure, its hands clenched, and it slammed down with a mighty force.

“Little brother, let’s join forces,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted.

“Yes, big brother,” Golden Needle Mushroom responded.

“Oceanic Fury Qi.”

At this moment, Lin Fan could see that these two’s martial arts technique belonged to the water element among the innate five elements.

In an instant, a powerful surge of water energy churned behind them, quickly turning into towering waves.

The waves parted, and a water spirit giant emerged, striding on the waves. The aura it exuded was continuous, layer upon layer, like waves, each higher than the last, containing a sharp killing intent.

“Little brother, let’s use our ultimate move,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, opening his mouth to reveal a green water pill floating above his head, emitting an aura of water element power.

At the same time, Golden Needle Mushroom did the same, a green water pill floating above his head, and the two pills instantly merged.

One soft, one strong, two different water element auras intertwined.

Lin Fan nodded slightly. It seemed this was a combined martial arts technique.

Water element techniques encompass all things, yet they can also destroy all things.

“One punch to send you flying,” Autumn Slash Fish roared, his palms forming fists as he struck towards Yin Zhenfeng.

The water spirit giant raised its hand, its massive fist tearing through the void, striking towards the sky.

“Hmph, seeking death,” Yin Zhenfeng snorted. With his True Immortal Realm cultivation, even relying on pure mana, he could easily suppress these two to death.

Bang!

As expected, the water spirit giant instantly disintegrated. In the face of absolute disparity, any technique was futile.

“We’ll net you…”

At this moment, the Heaven Net soared into the air, emitting rays of immortal light as it rushed towards Yin Zhenfeng.

“Having suffered once, do you think I’ll fall for it again?”

Yin Zhenfeng flicked his sleeve, and bursts of light erupted, each a small orb that exploded upon contact with the Heaven Net.

Bang!

These were Yin Extreme Divine Thunder Pellets, specifically designed to counter this supreme immortal artifact.

The explosion’s force directly blocked the Heaven Net, and the residual shockwave formed an impact that rebounded onto Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom.

“Big brother, I can’t hold on,” Golden Needle Mushroom cried out in agony.

“Little brother, stay strong.”

“I will extract your souls,” Yin Zhenfeng said with malice.

“Big brother, we were wrong. Let’s talk this out. We’ll return your things, alright?” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, now thoroughly frightened.

He hadn’t expected the Heaven Net, which had never failed before, to be useless against this guy.

“Too late…” Yin Zhenfeng sneered.

These two were not strong enough to fully utilize this supreme immortal artifact. If he obtained it, the artifact could unleash its true power.

“Little brother, come here,” Autumn Blade Fish beckoned.

The two stood a short distance away, whispering and discussing something intensely, occasionally glancing at Lin Fan, as if their conversation revolved around him.

“This guy is too reasonable; it’s hard to bring myself to harm him,” Autumn Blade Fish remarked.

“Yeah, I was thinking the same,” King Oyster nodded. “Usually, those we capture try to kill us, so we have no choice but to eliminate them. But this guy hasn’t cursed us or tried to trick us. He actually seems pretty decent.”

“Then… should we let him go?” Autumn Blade Fish asked uncertainly.

“Let him go,” King Oyster agreed.

“But wait—if we let him go and he suddenly attacks us, what then?” Autumn Blade Fish expressed concern.

“Brother, that complicates things a bit.”

As the two were discussing, the space above suddenly shifted.

A mass of dark clouds blotted out the sky, filled with countless flickering black lights, exuding intense malevolence. In an instant, the clouds condensed into a skull-like shape. The toothless black mouth opened wide and roared furiously.

“Finally found you two!”

The surging malevolence and deep resentment swept across the heavens and earth, instilling boundless terror in the hearts of those present.

Lin Fan, observing the situation in the sky, felt puzzled, unsure who had arrived.

“Brother, an enemy has come,” King Oyster cried out in alarm upon seeing the dark clouds.

“I see. Don’t panic. Get ready for battle!” Autumn Blade Fish shouted. He immediately shoved the melon in his hand into his mouth and crunched it down.

“Who are you?” Autumn Blade Fish, his bulky frame trembling, raised his head and shouted.

“Hmph, you two little brats, weren’t you having fun that day?”

A cold voice echoed from behind the dark clouds. Then, the clouds condensed further, forming a figure.

Upon seeing the figure, the two brothers’ expressions changed, and they exclaimed in shock, “It’s you…”

The figure’s face was expressionless, his aura sharp, and his cultivation had reached the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm.

Autumn Blade Fish and King Oyster grew tense. This opponent was a powerful figure from the Heaven Devouring Sect, one of the Six Sects.

“You two brats, that day you took advantage of my weakened state after a duel, ambushed me with your artifact, and gained the upper hand. Even if I were to cut you into a thousand pieces, it wouldn’t quell my rage!” Yin Zhenfeng roared furiously.

At the same time, he coveted that artifact.

That net was no ordinary treasure—it had trapped him and suppressed his magical energy. How could he not desire such a treasure?

Thus, after recovering from his injuries, Yin Zhenfeng had been searching relentlessly for the two.

It would have been impossible to find them easily, but they had taken one of his treasures and occasionally took it out for a look.

That treasure carried Yin Zhenfeng’s residual energy, so naturally, he could sense it whenever it was revealed.

“Brother, what should we do?” King Oyster, his thin face tense, asked.

“Hold steady. We must hold steady,” Autumn Blade Fish replied nervously. This opponent’s strength far exceeded theirs.

Their only hope was the Celestial Net, but now it was already restraining someone. If they released that person, he would escape.

“Brother, I think we should properly compensate the one caught in the net, so he won’t turn against us,” King Oyster suggested.

“Good idea, little brother,” Autumn Blade Fish’s eyes lit up. He quickly approached Lin Fan.

“Brother, sorry about earlier—we caught the wrong person. Here’s the pill back, and these are our gifts as compensation. Please leave quickly. This guy is really strong. If a fight breaks out, it’ll get really dangerous,” Autumn Blade Fish muttered, feeling rather unlucky.

He hadn’t expected the person they once captured would come seeking revenge—it was quite the predicament.

Lin Fan looked at Autumn Blade Fish, sighing inwardly. He was curious to see how these two would fare against such a powerful opponent. With such a massive gap in strength, how would they survive this crisis?

“It’s fine,” Lin Fan replied. He couldn’t tell whether these two were genuinely foolish or merely pretending.

“You dare act so arrogantly? We caught you once, and we can catch you again!” Autumn Blade Fish shouted at Yin Zhenfeng in the sky.

“Really? Then show me what you’ve got. I’ll take that artifact too,” Yin Zhenfeng, a disciple of the Heaven Devouring Sect, declared. His power was formidable. With a single strike, a vast surge of devilish energy coiled around his palm.

Instantly, the malevolence condensed into a massive demonic head. With a mighty grip, it slammed downward.

“Little brother, let’s combine our strength!” Autumn Blade Fish shouted.

“Right, brother!” King Oyster responded.

“Oceanic Surge Technique!”

At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood—their martial arts techniques belonged to the Water Element of the Primordial Five Elements.

In an instant, a powerful surge of water energy rose behind the two, transforming into towering waves.

From the parted waves emerged a colossal water spirit god, striding forth on the sea. The aura radiating from this water spirit god was relentless, layer upon layer, like waves surging one after another, brimming with deadly intent.

“Little brother, let’s use our ultimate move!” Autumn Blade Fish roared.

He immediately opened his mouth, and a jade-green water pill floated above his head, radiating the aura of a water-based technique.

King Oyster did the same, conjuring his own jade-green water pill, which then merged instantly with Autumn Blade Fish’s.

Soft and fierce, two distinct flavors of water energy intertwined.

Lin Fan nodded slightly. It was indeed a combined martial arts technique.

Water techniques could both nurture and destroy all things.

“One punch to send you flying!” Autumn Blade Fish bellowed. He clenched both hands into fists and struck directly at Yin Zhenfeng.

The water spirit god, striding on the waves, raised its hand. A vast fist tore through the void, launching toward the sky.

“Hmph, seeking death,” Yin Zhenfeng sneered. With the cultivation of the True Immortal Realm, even through sheer magical power alone, he could crush these two to death.

Bang!

As expected, the water spirit god instantly disintegrated. In the face of such an overwhelming gap, no technique could change the outcome.

“We’ll net you!”

At that moment, the Celestial Net soared into the air, radiating immortal light as it surged toward Yin Zhenfeng.

“After one defeat, do you really think I’ll fall for it again?”

Yin Zhenfeng flicked his sleeve, and countless glowing specks erupted forth. These specks were small orbs that exploded upon contact with the Celestial Net.

Boom!

“What kind of elixir is this? It smells so fragrant,” Golden Needle Mushroom held the pill in his hand, took a slow whiff, and immediately felt invigorated, as if he were about to soar into the heavens.

“This is the Primordial Law Pill. It can instantly replenish all consumed mana,” Lin Fan explained.

Melon Slayer, who had been munching on a watermelon, put it down and took the pill in his hand, his expression one of astonishment. “This is a treasure!”

“Of course it is,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Both of these guys were at the high Ancient Realm level.

They were average, not particularly strong, but with the help of the supreme-grade immortal artifact, the Heaven Net, even a True Immortal might not be able to defeat them.

Once caught in the net, one would be completely immobilized.

These two had survived until now solely because of the Heaven Net.

“Little brother, come here,” Melon Slayer beckoned.

The two stood not far away, whispering to each other as if discussing something, occasionally glancing at Lin Fan, as if their conversation was about him.

“This guy is too reasonable. It’s hard to bring myself to do it,” Melon Slayer said.

“Big brother, I feel the same way. All the people we’ve netted before wanted to kill us, so we couldn’t let them go. But this guy hasn’t cursed us or tried to trick us. He seems like a decent person,” Golden Needle Mushroom nodded in agreement.

“Should we let him go?” Melon Slayer asked uncertainly.

“Let him go,” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

“Wait, if we let him out and he suddenly attacks us, what then?” Melon Slayer voiced his concern.

“Big brother, that does complicate things.”

As the two were discussing this, the void suddenly changed.

A dark cloud blotted out the sky, filled with countless black flashes, exuding a high level of demonic energy. The cloud quickly condensed into the shape of a skull, its toothless black mouth opening wide and letting out a fierce roar.

“Finally, I’ve found you two.”

The demonic energy was overwhelming, filled with deep resentment. A chilling wind swept across the heavens and the earth, instilling an infinite sense of fear in everyone’s hearts.

Lin Fan looked at the situation in the void, somewhat puzzled, unsure of who had arrived.

“Big brother, an enemy has come for us,” Golden Needle Mushroom exclaimed upon seeing the dark cloud.

“I see it. Don’t panic. Let’s prepare for battle,” Melon Slayer shouted, quickly stuffing the watermelon in his hand into his mouth, crunching and swallowing it.

“Who are you?” Melon Slayer’s plump body trembled as he raised his head and shouted.

“Hmph, you two little rats. Weren’t you having fun that day?”

A sinister voice emerged from behind the dark cloud, which then condensed further, forming a figure.

The two brothers’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing the figure, and they exclaimed, “It’s you…”

The figure had a cold face, a sharp aura, and his cultivation had reached the mid True Immortal Realm.

Melon Slayer and Golden Needle Mushroom were nervous. This guy was a powerhouse from one of the Six Great Mansions, the Heavenly Demon Mansion.

“You two little rats, that day when I was injured in a battle with someone else, you took advantage and ambushed me with your artifact. Even if I were to cut you into a thousand pieces, it wouldn’t be enough to quell my anger,” Yin Zhenfeng said fiercely, his heart burning with rage.

At the same time, he remembered that artifact clearly.

That large net was no ordinary item. It had trapped him and even sealed his internal mana. How could he not want to seize such a treasure?

Thus, after recovering from his injuries, Yin Zhenfeng had been searching everywhere for these two.

Originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy to find them, but these two had taken an artifact from him and occasionally took it out to look at it.

The artifact carried Yin Zhenfeng’s aura, so as soon as it was taken out, he could sense it.

“Big brother, what should we do?” Golden Needle Mushroom’s thin face was tense as he asked.

“Stay calm, we need to stay calm,” Melon Slayer was also nervous. This guy’s strength far surpassed theirs.

Their only reliance was the Heaven Net, but now that the net had already captured someone, if they released it, that person would escape.

“Big brother, I think we should compensate the guy trapped in the net and make sure he doesn’t come after us,” Golden Needle Mushroom suggested.

“That makes sense. Little brother, your suggestion is a good one,” Melon Slayer’s eyes lit up, and he immediately approached Lin Fan.

“Brother, sorry about earlier. We made a mistake with the net. Here’s your pill back, and these are some compensations for you. You should leave quickly. This guy is fierce. If a fight breaks out later, it won’t be good,” Melon Slayer felt a bit unlucky.

He hadn’t expected the guy they had netted before to come looking for them. It was quite a predicament.

Lin Fan looked at Melon Slayer, shaking his head inwardly, curious to see how these two would handle this situation with such a significant gap in strength.

“It’s fine,” Lin Fan said. He wasn’t sure if these two were truly naive or just pretending.

“You, don’t get too cocky. We netted you once, and we can net you again,” Melon Slayer shouted at Yin Zhenfeng in the void.

“Is that so? Then show me what you’ve got. I’ll take that artifact of yours as well,” Yin Zhenfeng, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, was no ordinary figure. With a single move, his aura surged, and a palm strike sent demonic energy swirling.

The demonic energy instantly condensed into a massive demon, its hands clenched, and it slammed down with a powerful strike.

“Little brother, let’s join forces,” Melon Slayer shouted.

“Yes, big brother,” Golden Needle Mushroom responded.

“Oceanic Fury!”

At this moment, Lin Fan realized that these two’s martial arts were of the Water Element, one of the Five Elements.

In an instant, a powerful surge of water energy rose behind them, quickly transforming into towering waves.

The waves parted, and a Water Spirit Giant emerged, riding the waves. The aura it exuded was continuous, layer upon layer, like the rising tide, each wave more intense than the last, filled with a sharp killing intent.

“Little brother, let’s use our ultimate move,” Melon Slayer shouted, opening his mouth to reveal a green water pill floating above his head, radiating the essence of Water Element martial arts.

Golden Needle Mushroom did the same, a green water pill also floating above his head, and the two pills merged instantly.

One soft, one strong, two different flavors of Water Element energy intertwined.

Lin Fan nodded slightly. It seemed this was a combined martial arts technique.

Water Element martial arts, encompassing all things, yet capable of destroying all things.

“One punch to send you flying,” Melon Slayer roared, his palms forming fists as he struck towards Yin Zhenfeng.

The Water Spirit Giant, riding the waves, raised its hand and delivered a vast punch that tore through the void, aiming straight for Yin Zhenfeng.

“Hmph, seeking death,” Yin Zhenfeng snorted. With his True Immortal Realm cultivation, even relying solely on mana, he could easily crush these two.

Bang!

As expected, the Water Spirit Giant disintegrated instantly. In the face of absolute disparity, any martial arts technique was futile.

“We’ll net you…”

At this moment, the Heaven Net soared into the air, emitting immortal light as it rushed towards Yin Zhenfeng.

“Having been tricked once, do you think I’ll fall for it again?”

Yin Zhenfeng flicked his sleeve, and a series of light points burst forth, each one a small orb that exploded upon contact with the Heaven Net.

Bang!

These were Yin Extreme Thunder Pellets, specifically designed to counter this supreme-grade immortal artifact.

The explosions created a force that blocked the Heaven Net, and the residual shockwaves formed an impact that directly hit Melon Slayer and Golden Needle Mushroom.

“Big brother, I can’t hold on,” Golden Needle Mushroom cried out in agony.

“Little brother, stay strong.”

“I will extract your souls,” Yin Zhenfeng said with malice.

“Big brother, we were wrong. Let’s talk this out. We’ll return your things, alright?” Melon Slayer shouted, now thoroughly intimidated.

He hadn’t expected the Heaven Net, which had never failed before, to be useless against this guy.

“Too late…” Yin Zhenfeng sneered.

These two were not strong enough to fully utilize this supreme-grade immortal artifact. If he could obtain it, the artifact would unleash its true power.

The explosion’s force blocked the Celestial Net, and the residual shockwave struck Autumn Blade Fish and King Oyster directly.

“Brother, I can’t hold on!” King Oyster screamed in agony.

“Little brother, hold steady!”

“I’ll extract both your souls!” Yin Zhenfeng snarled with malice.

“Brother, we were wrong! Let’s talk this through! We’ll return your treasure, okay?” Autumn Blade Fish shouted desperately.

He hadn’t expected that their previously unbeatable Celestial Net would be ineffective against this opponent.

“Too late…” Yin Zhenfeng sneered coldly.

“What kind of elixir is this? It smells so fragrant,” Golden Needle Mushroom held the pill in his hand, took a slow whiff, and immediately felt invigorated, as if he were about to soar into the sky.

“This is the Primordial Chaos Elixir. It can instantly replenish all expended spiritual energy,” Lin Fan explained.

Autumn Slash Fish, who had been munching on a watermelon, put it down and took the pill in his hand, his expression one of astonishment. “This is a treasure indeed.”

“Naturally,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Both of these fellows were at the high-tier Ancient Realm.

They were average in strength, not particularly powerful, but with the supreme immortal artifact, the Heaven Net, even a True Immortal Realm cultivator might not be able to defeat them.

Once caught in the net, one would be rendered immobile.

These two had managed to survive until now thanks to this Heaven Net.

“Little brother, come here,” Autumn Slash Fish beckoned.

The two stood not far away, whispering to each other as if discussing something, occasionally glancing at Lin Fan, as if their conversation revolved around him.

“This guy is too reasonable; it’s hard to bring myself to act against him,” Autumn Slash Fish said.

“Big brother, I feel the same way. All the people we’ve netted before wanted to kill us, so we couldn’t let them go. But this guy hasn’t cursed us or tried to deceive us. He seems like a decent person,” Golden Needle Mushroom nodded in agreement.

“Should we let him go?” Autumn Slash Fish asked uncertainly.

“Then let him go,” Golden Needle Mushroom said.

“Wait, if we release him and he suddenly attacks us, what then?” Autumn Slash Fish voiced his concern again.

“Big brother, that does complicate things.”

As the two were discussing this, the void suddenly underwent a drastic change.

A dark cloud blotted out the sky, filled with countless flashes of black light, exuding a high level of demonic energy. The cloud quickly condensed into the shape of a skull, its toothless black mouth opening wide and unleashing a deafening roar.

“You two, I’ve finally found you.”

The demonic energy was overwhelming, the resentment deep, and a chilling wind swept across the heavens and earth, instilling an infinite sense of fear in everyone’s hearts.

Lin Fan looked at the scene in the void, somewhat puzzled, unsure of who had arrived.

“Big brother, an enemy has come for us,” Golden Needle Mushroom exclaimed upon seeing the dark cloud.

“I see, don’t panic. Let’s prepare for battle,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, stuffing the watermelon into his mouth and swallowing it in a few quick bites.

“Who are you?” Autumn Slash Fish’s plump body trembled as he raised his head and shouted.

“Hmph, you two little wretches, weren’t you having a grand time that day?”

A sinister voice emanated from behind the dark cloud, which then continued to condense, forming a figure.

The two brothers’ expressions changed slightly upon seeing the figure, and they exclaimed, “It’s you…”

The figure had a cold expression, a sharp aura, and his cultivation had reached the mid-tier True Immortal Realm.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom were nervous; this guy was a powerful figure from one of the Six Palaces, the Demon Heaven Palace.

“You two little wretches, you took advantage of me when I was severely injured after a battle with someone else, using your artifact to ambush me. Even if I were to cut you into a thousand pieces, it wouldn’t be enough to quell my rage,” Yin Zhenfeng said with a voice full of fury, his anger burning fiercely.

At the same time, he had not forgotten about that treasure.

That great net was no ordinary item; it had trapped him and even sealed his spiritual energy. How could he not want to seize such a treasure?

Thus, after recovering from his injuries, Yin Zhenfeng had been searching everywhere for these two.

Originally, it wouldn’t have been so easy to find them, but these two had taken one of his treasures and would occasionally take it out to look at it.

The treasure carried Yin Zhenfeng’s aura, and as soon as it was taken out, he could sense it.

“Big brother, what should we do?” Golden Needle Mushroom’s thin face was tense as he asked.

“Stay calm, we need to stay calm,” Autumn Slash Fish was also nervous; this guy was much stronger than them.

Their reliance was the Heaven Net, but now that the Heaven Net had already captured someone, if they released it, wouldn’t that person escape?

“Big brother, I think we should compensate the guy trapped in the net and ask him not to attack us,” Golden Needle Mushroom suggested.

“That makes sense, little brother. Your suggestion is a good one,” Autumn Slash Fish’s eyes lit up, and he immediately approached Lin Fan.

“Brother, sorry about earlier. We netted the wrong person. Here’s your pill back, and these are some compensations we’re giving you. You should leave quickly. This guy is fierce, and if a fight breaks out later, it could be disastrous,” Autumn Slash Fish felt a bit unlucky.

He hadn’t expected the guy they had once netted to come looking for them; it was quite a predicament.

Lin Fan looked at Autumn Slash Fish and sighed inwardly, curious to see how these two would handle this situation with such a significant difference in strength.

“It’s fine,” Lin Fan said, unsure whether these two were truly naive or just pretending.

“You, don’t get too cocky. We netted you once, and we can net you again,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted at Yin Zhenfeng in the void.

“Is that so? Then show me what you’ve got. I’ll take that treasure of yours as well,” Yin Zhenfeng, a disciple of the Demon Heaven Sect, was no ordinary figure. With a single move, his aura surged, and a palm strike sent demonic energy coiling around.

The demonic energy instantly condensed into a massive demonic figure, its hands clenched into fists, which it then slammed down with great force.

“Little brother, let’s join forces,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted.

“Yes, big brother,” Golden Needle Mushroom responded.

“Oceanic Fury Qi.”

At this moment, Lin Fan realized that these two’s martial arts were of the water element, one of the five innate elements.

In an instant, a powerful surge of water energy churned behind them, quickly transforming into towering waves.

The waves parted, and a water spirit giant emerged, riding the waves. The aura emanating from the water spirit giant was continuous, layer upon layer, like waves, each higher than the last, containing a sharp killing intent.

“Little brother, let’s use our ultimate move,” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, opening his mouth to reveal a green water pill floating above his head, exuding the aura of a water element technique.

At the same time, Golden Needle Mushroom did the same, a green water pill floating above his head, and the two pills instantly merged.

One soft, one strong, two different flavors of water energy intertwined.

Lin Fan nodded slightly; it seemed this was a combined martial arts technique.

Water element techniques encompassed all things, yet could also destroy all things.

“One punch to send you flying,” Autumn Slash Fish roared, his palms forming fists as he pressed down towards Yin Zhenfeng.

The water spirit giant riding the waves raised its hand, and a vast fist tore through the void, striking towards the sky.

“Hmph, seeking death,” Yin Zhenfeng snorted coldly. With his True Immortal Realm cultivation, even relying solely on spiritual energy, he could forcefully suppress and kill these two.

Boom!

As expected, the water spirit giant disintegrated instantly. In the face of absolute disparity, any technique was futile.

“We’ll net you…”

At this moment, the Heaven Net soared into the air, emitting rays of immortal light as it rushed towards Yin Zhenfeng.

“Having suffered once, do you think I’ll fall for it again?”

Yin Zhenfeng flicked his sleeve, and bursts of light erupted, which turned out to be small orbs that exploded upon contact with the Heaven Net.

Boom!

These were Yin Extreme Thunder Pellets, specifically designed to counter this supreme immortal artifact.

The explosion’s force directly blocked the Heaven Net, and the residual shockwave formed an impact that rebounded onto Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom.

“Big brother, I can’t hold on,” Golden Needle Mushroom cried out in despair.

“Little brother, hold steady.”

“I will extract your souls,” Yin Zhenfeng said with malice.

“Big brother, we were wrong. Let’s talk this out. We’ll return your things, alright?” Autumn Slash Fish shouted, now thoroughly intimidated.

He hadn’t expected the Heaven Net, which had never failed before, to be ineffective against this guy.

“Too late…” Yin Zhenfeng sneered.

These two were not strong enough to fully utilize this supreme immortal artifact. If he could obtain it, then the artifact could unleash its true power.
