Chapter 699: The Overbearing Old Man

“Master, look, there’s an Ancient Clan member. Let’s go out and convert him,” said Venerable Sakyamuni, his face lighting up as he saw the figure appearing between heaven and earth.

“Convert your sister! That’s an Ancient Clan Supreme!” Lin Fan had fought against the soul manifestation of a Supreme before and was very familiar with their power.

With his current strength, if he encountered this guy, he would basically be signing his own death warrant.

“What? He’s a Supreme?” Sakyamuni was stunned. In the minds of all beings in the great thousand worlds, a Supreme was an incredibly powerful existence.

“Does that mean we’re going to die?” Sakyamuni’s face turned pale. “No way! The poor monk hasn’t lived enough yet!”

“Hah!” Floating in the void, “Jie” gazed at the two imprisoned beings within the protective barrier, his eyes gleaming with boundless sharpness.

He had sensed the aura of Feng Qingzi and immediately came in person, but he hadn’t expected to encounter that annoying human.

“Jie” would never forget how his soul manifestation had been destroyed. Moreover, this human had close ties with the Water-Fire Emperor. If he could capture him alive, it would be even better.

“Human, I didn’t expect we’d meet again,” Jie instantly appeared before the barrier. “You’re like a turtle in a jar now. This time, I, the Supreme, will definitely not let you escape.”

Lin Fan looked at the Supreme “Jie” and couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“You’ve mistaken me. I’m not a human,” Lin Fan thought anxiously. With his current strength, he was absolutely no match for this guy.

That soul manifestation nearly killed him. Now that the real body has come, wouldn’t he just crush him into pulp?

“Haha! I didn’t expect that the Water-Fire Emperor, that lowly wench, would set her sights on such a pathetic human. Submit to me, the Supreme, or face death,” Jie roared with terrifying might. His mere aura made Lin Fan feel a chill of fear.

So powerful! It seems the gap between this young master and a Supreme is still massive.

“Master, what should we do?” At this moment, Sakyamuni was trembling. He was genuinely scared, especially in the presence of an Ancient Clan Supreme. Even with his deep Buddhist cultivation, his courage was shattered by the Supreme’s might.

At this moment, Lin Fan didn’t know what to say. This old man was truly a disaster.

“What’s the big deal? I just want to ask, can this Ancient Clan really do anything to this Emperor? That’s right, this Emperor is the Human Emperor Lin Fan, specially slaying Ancient Clan dogs. If you’ve got the guts, come on! If this Emperor so much as blinks today, I’ll follow your surname,” Lin Fan was furious. The Ancient Clan had repeatedly insulted him, and he could no longer tolerate it.

Wasn’t it just a fight? Although his strength was inferior to his opponent, he couldn’t afford to lose face.

“Master, stay calm! Don’t provoke him!” Sakyamuni urged hastily.

“I can’t calm down! If we won’t submit, then fight! What if he’s an Ancient Clan Supreme? Today, we’ll team up and take on this Ancient Clan Supreme and see who’s stronger.” In the current situation, even if they begged for mercy, it would be useless.

This old man was truly ruthless, and what Lin Fan hadn’t expected was that this Ancient Clan Supreme had actually found them here.

“Dare to die!” Jie’s face turned iron-gray, and with one palm, he grabbed toward the protective barrier.

Kuang Dang!

The barrier violently trembled, a vast force transmitted through it, and Lin Fan also felt immense pressure.

“Haha! This so-called Ancient Clan Supreme can’t even break through a protective barrier,” Lin Fan laughed loudly, though his laughter looked more painful than anyone else’s.

At this point, no matter how hard he tried not to worry, Lin Fan’s heart was already pounding.

“Hmph! Even Feng Qingzi’s protective barrier cannot block the majesty of this Supreme. Disappear!” Jie’s abyssal giant hand descended from the sky, grasping the barrier. In an instant, a powerful force erupted violently.

Ka Cha!

Cracks instantly appeared densely across the barrier, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

“Master, what should we do? This Supreme wants to kill us!” Sakyamuni was frightened. Although he had never personally experienced a Supreme’s power, he knew that a Supreme was invincible.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic,” Lin Fan’s mind began to race quickly, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t come up with a good idea.

Seeing Lin Fan’s calm expression, Sakyamuni’s heart also slightly calmed down. In his view, Master Lin must have a plan, otherwise how could he remain so composed?

“This Supreme will make you suffer endless pain and torment you severely. That useless Blood-Mist Devil Lord has obviously fallen into your hands,” Supreme Jie sneered coldly, increasing the force in his hands.

Lin Fan knew that the old man’s protective barrier wouldn’t last much longer.

If the moment the barrier broke was the moment of their deaths.

Hiding into the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace wasn’t something he hadn’t considered, but if he did that, it would truly be a disaster. He would probably be controlled by the Ancient Clan forever.

“Haha! Die!” The Supreme roared furiously, his terrifying aura exploding, darkening the entire heaven and earth.

At this moment, Lin Fan could no longer remain calm. He began slapping the barrier directly, “Old man, come out and save us! This is your doing. You can’t just watch us get killed by this guy!”

Seeing Lin Fan’s current state, Sakyamuni was almost in tears, “Master, you said you weren’t afraid?”

“Still talking nonsense? Hurry up and shout for help with me,” Lin Fan was helpless. Was it easy to put on a brave front? But the one appearing before them now was an Ancient Clan Supreme.

“Senior, save us!” Sakyamuni cried out.

“Old man, I give up! Save us!” Lin Fan shouted with tears and snot.

Lin Fan valued his life the most. If he died in such a stifling way, it would truly be a huge loss.

“Call me what?”

Suddenly, a voice came from the void, and it was Feng Qingzi’s voice.

Lin Fan’s heart was overjoyed. He knew this old man hadn’t left.

To Lin Fan, this old man was truly infuriating. Was it necessary to do this just to make him submit?

“Feng Qingzi, do you want to interfere in this matter?” Jie turned toward the void and asked fiercely.

“Boy, let me ask you, what did you call me?” Feng Qingzi didn’t answer Jie’s question but asked again.

“You… you…” Lin Fan was almost spitting blood at this moment. This was the first time he had been forced to such an extent. This old man was truly despicable.

“Master, hurry up and call, or we’ll both die,” Sakyamuni said.

Lin Fan took a deep breath. Old man, you win.

“Master…” Lin Fan’s eyes shed tears of humiliation. This was forced upon him.

“Haha! Are you convinced now?” Feng Qingzi was in a very good mood at this moment.

“Convinced,” Lin Fan said bitterly.

“Haha! In the ancient holy realm, I’ve never failed before. Now that you’ve called me Master, naturally I’ll protect you,” Feng Qingzi laughed.

Suddenly, a vast ancient hand pierced through the void, directly snatching the protective barrier from Jie’s grasp.

“Feng Qingzi, this is violating the treaty. Do you want the place you protect to be trampled by the Ancient Clan?” Jie roared with a dark and grim voice. He hadn’t expected Feng Qingzi to dare rescue someone from his hands.

“Benefactor, look, there are ancient clans. We can go out and convert them,” exclaimed the Venerable Shakyamuni with sudden joy upon seeing the figure that appeared between heaven and earth.

“Convert your sister! That’s the Supreme of the ancient clans,” retorted Lin Fan, who had previously fought with the Supreme’s avatar and was all too familiar with it.

With his current strength, encountering this guy would basically be a death sentence.

“What? He’s the Supreme?” The Venerable Shakyamuni was dumbfounded. In the hearts of all beings across myriad races, the Supreme was an immensely powerful existence.

“Are we going to die?” The Venerable Shakyamuni’s face turned pale. “No way, I haven’t lived enough yet.”

“Jie” floated in the void, looking at the two beings trapped in the protective barrier, his eyes gleaming with infinite brilliance.

He had sensed Feng Qingzi’s aura and immediately came in person, but unexpectedly discovered that detestable human.

“Jie” would never forget how his avatar was destroyed, and this human had a close relationship with the Water-Fire Emperor. Capturing him alive would be the best outcome.

“Human, I didn’t expect we’d meet again,” said Jie, appearing before the barrier in an instant. “Now, you’re like a turtle in a jar. This time, I, the Supreme, will never let you escape.”

Lin Fan looked at the Supreme “Jie” and couldn’t help but gulp.

“You’ve got the wrong person, I’m not a human,” Lin Fan thought nervously. With his current strength, he was definitely no match for this guy.

That avatar nearly killed him, and now the real body was here. Wouldn’t he be crushed into a pulp?

“Haha, I didn’t expect the Water-Fire Emperor’s favorite human to be such a piece of work. Submit to me, the Supreme, or die,” Jie’s menacing aura alone made Lin Fan tremble with fear.

So strong, it seems the gap between me and the Supreme is still huge.

“Benefactor, what should we do?” The Venerable Shakyamuni was shaking with fear. He was truly scared, especially in front of the Supreme of the ancient clans. Even with deep Buddhist nature, he was terrified by the Supreme.

Lin Fan really didn’t know what to say. This old man was really a pain.

“What’s the matter? I, the Emperor, ask you, what can the ancient clans do to me? That’s right, I am the Human Emperor Lin Fan, specializing in killing ancient clan dogs. If you have the guts, come at me. If I blink today, I’ll take your surname,” Lin Fan was furious. The ancient clans had repeatedly humiliated him, and he couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

So what if it’s a fight? Even if I’m not as strong, I can’t lose face.

“Benefactor, calm down, don’t provoke him,” the Venerable Shakyamuni hurriedly said.

“I can’t calm down. If I’m not convinced, I’ll fight. What’s so great about the Supreme of the ancient clans? Today, let’s join forces and take on the Supreme, let’s see who’s stronger.” In this situation, begging for mercy would be useless.

This old man is too ruthless, and what Lin Fan didn’t expect was that the Supreme of the ancient clans had found them here.

“Seeking death,” Jie’s face turned livid, and he reached out to grab the barrier.

Clang!

The barrier shook violently, and a vast force transmitted through, putting immense pressure on Lin Fan.

“Haha, and you call yourself the Supreme of the ancient clans? Can’t even break a barrier,” Lin Fan laughed, but his laughter was uglier than anyone’s.

Now, not only was he worried, but his heart was also pounding.

“Hmph, even Feng Qingzi’s barrier can’t stop my majesty. Destroy!” Jie’s massive hand descended from the sky, gripping the barrier. In an instant, a powerful force erupted violently.

Crack!

The barrier was immediately covered with dense cracks, as if it could shatter at any moment.

“Benefactor, what should we do? The Supreme is going to kill us,” the Venerable Shakyamuni was terrified. Although he hadn’t personally experienced the Supreme’s power, he knew the Supreme was invincible.

“Don’t panic, don’t panic,” Lin Fan’s mind raced, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t come up with a good solution.

Seeing Lin Fan’s calm expression, the Venerable Shakyamuni also calmed down a bit. In his view, Benefactor Lin must have some plan, otherwise how could he be so composed?

“I, the Supreme, will make you suffer endless pain, torment you mercilessly. The Blood Radiance Demon Lord, that waste, must have fallen at your hands,” Jie sneered, increasing the force in his hand.

Lin Fan knew the old man’s barrier couldn’t hold much longer.

If the barrier broke, it would be their death.

Hiding in the Heaven and Earth Furnace was an option, but if they did that, they would be truly screwed, likely controlled by the ancient clans forever.

“Haha, die!” The Supreme roared, his overwhelming aura darkening the entire sky.

Lin Fan could no longer remain calm and started pounding on the barrier, “Old man, come out and save us! This is your mess! You can’t just watch us get killed by this guy.”

Seeing Lin Fan’s current state, the Venerable Shakyamuni was on the verge of tears, “Benefactor, didn’t you say you weren’t scared?”

“Stop the nonsense and start shouting for help with me,” Lin Fan was helpless. Was it easy to act tough? But now, facing the Supreme of the ancient clans, it was a different story.

“Senior, save us!” the Venerable Shakyamuni cried out.

“Old man, I give up, save us!” Lin Fan shouted, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Lin Fan valued his life the most. Dying in such a humiliating way would be a huge loss.

“What did you call me?”

In an instant, a voice echoed through the void—it was Feng Qingzi’s voice.

Lin Fan was overjoyed. He knew the old man hadn’t left.

To Lin Fan, this old man was truly hateful. Was it necessary to go this far just to make him submit?

“Feng Qingzi, are you planning to interfere?” Jie looked towards the void and asked sternly.

“Kid, I’m asking you, what did you call me?” Feng Qingzi ignored Jie’s question and asked again.

“You… you…” Lin Fan was almost spitting blood. This was the first time he had been pushed to such an extent. The old man was truly despicable.

“Benefactor, hurry up and call him, or we’ll all die,” the Venerable Shakyamuni urged.

Lin Fan took a deep breath. Old man, you win.

“Master…” Lin Fan’s eyes streamed with tears of humiliation. This was forced.

“Haha, do you submit now?” Feng Qingzi was in a good mood.

“I submit,” Lin Fan said humiliatingly.

“Haha, I, who have roamed the Ancient Saint Realm, have never failed. Now that you call me master, I will naturally protect you,” Feng Qingzi said with a smile.

Suddenly, a massive hand broke through the void and snatched the barrier from Jie’s grasp.

“Feng Qingzi, you’re violating the treaty. Do you want the place you protect to be trampled by the ancient clans?” Jie roared furiously. He didn’t expect Feng Qingzi to dare to save someone from his hands.

“Violating the treaty? Jie, you want to kill my beloved disciple, do you want to provoke my wrath? If the ancient clans dare to trample the place I protect, I will destroy all your cities,” Feng Qingzi’s expression changed. He was no longer the playful old man but exuded a domineering aura, his killing intent surging, not inferior to the Supreme.

“You dare,” Jie said fiercely.

“Why wouldn’t I dare? Remember, don’t provoke me, or I can destroy all your ancient clan cities before you can act. I ask you, do you believe it?” Feng Qingzi said coldly.

“Domineering…” Lin Fan, who had been feeling miserable, now saw the old man as if he had become a different person. He was impressed. This guy was even more arrogant than him.

So arrogant that even “Jie” couldn’t retort. Such skill, truly impressive.

“Hmph!” Feng Qingzi snorted, then ignoring Jie’s livid expression, instantly took Lin Fan and the others into the void, leaving the place.

“You dare!” Jie shouted fiercely.

“What’s there not to dare? Remember this: don’t provoke me. Otherwise, even if we tear our faces apart, I can destroy all your Ancient Clan cities between your attacks. I’ll just ask you, do you believe it?” Feng Qingzi coldly said.

“Awesome…” Lin Fan had originally felt very sad, but seeing this old man now, as if he had transformed into someone else, he was also convinced. This old man was even more arrogant than himself.

Arrogant enough that Jie couldn’t even retort. What a skill! Lin Fan was convinced.

“Hmph!” Feng Qingzi coldly snorted, then ignored how terrible Jie’s face looked. Instantly, he took Lin Fan and the others into the void, leaving the place.
