Chapter 465: How Stupid Can One Be?

“A day’s time?”

The Guzu Ten Squad was completely slaughtered by Lin Fan here. The stench of blood spread across the ground, and the surrounding ancient beasts quietly retreated, intimidated by Lin Fan’s terrifying aura.

Yet now, Lin Fan’s heart was turbulent, a surge of anger building inside him. He needed a fierce release.

Lin Fan stood atop the mountains, gripping the Eternal Axe, gazing toward the distant and hazy horizon.

At this moment, he deeply regretted everything—it was all his fault. He had known he was wanted by the Guzu, yet he still remained in that village. He was the one who had doomed them.

A streak of light, like a rainbow, tore through the sky and vanished into the distance.

Lin Fan had searched the Guzu corpses and found a map. Ahead lay a small Guzu encampment. His anger surged—he would massacre every Guzu he could find.

Now with the BUFF enhancement, although it only lasted a day, he intended to level up quickly, increasing his chances significantly.

But after rushing forward relentlessly, he hadn’t encountered a single Guzu.

“This can’t be possible…”

In Lin Fan’s mind, the Gusheng Realm should have been the domain of the Guzu. How could he have traveled so far and seen not a single one?

When he didn’t want to meet them, they appeared like dogs chasing after him.

But now, when he wanted to find them, they seemed to have vanished entirely.

The BUFF granted by the system, in Lin Fan’s view, was essentially multipliers on experience gain—and substantial ones at that.

Killing low-level ancient beasts barely earned him any experience.

The gap in cultivation levels affected experience gains far too much.

It was the Guzu above the Earth-Heaven Position that Lin Fan longed to encounter the most.

Lin Fan hovered in midair, gazing at the vast land beneath him. Suddenly, he roared, “I’m a human! Who the hell dares come kill me?”

This roar, like thunder, echoed across the heavens and earth.

Yet no matter how loudly Lin Fan shouted, the surroundings remained eerily silent, without the slightest sound.

Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed. “I can’t wait anymore. If I can’t find them, then I’ll level up in battle.”

Lin Fan didn’t know how many Guzu were in that small encampment, but he wasn’t afraid. Only by ending the lives of these despicable Guzu could he relieve the anger in his heart.

“Whoosh…”

In an instant, Lin Fan vanished from the spot, dashing toward the distance once more.

After Lin Fan left, a group of figures appeared in the void.

“What exactly is this guy trying to do?” The breathtakingly beautiful woman gazed in the direction Lin Fan had gone, her captivating eyes narrowing slightly, puzzled by his actions.

“Master, what’s wrong with Uncle Lin? Xuan feels like if we keep deceiving him like this, Uncle Lin will never love Xuan anymore,” the drowsy Xuan tugged at the woman’s delicate silk sleeve.

The village elder, now with white hair, still radiated a sharpness in his vitality and spirit far greater than what Lin Fan had previously seen.

Seeing Lin Fan in this state, he felt a slight concern in his heart. He felt that the adult’s actions were somewhat inappropriate, but as a subordinate, he dared not defy the adult’s orders.

The woman looked at Xuan and gently patted her head. “Is Xuan blaming her master now?”

“No, Xuan isn’t…” Xuan hurriedly shook her head.

At this moment, the woman also felt puzzled. What exactly was that guy trying to do?

Break before you rebuild; without breaking, there can be no rebuilding.

She had hoped that a small incident would make him face the world head-on and realize his own weakness. But judging by the urgency in his demeanor, it seemed like he was about to do something drastic.

The Gusheng Realm was divided into eight regions, each controlled by one of the Guzu’s Eight Supreme Rulers.

This particular region had once been ruled by “Gengu,” but after Gengu’s disappearance, it had been leaderless. However, after ten thousand years, a new Supreme had already emerged.

Though this new Supreme was slightly weaker compared to the other seven, he was still a formidable force.

Even if he appeared in this region, he would still need to proceed with caution, or else provoke a conflict with unimaginable consequences.

“Master, ahead seems to be a small Guzu encampment,” the elder, Yang Kun, spoke up.

“Hmm?” The woman’s expression shifted slightly. “Yang Kun, what are you implying?”

Yang Kun looked at the woman, uncertain himself. “Master, this is just my speculation.”

“Enough, don’t even think about it. It’s impossible. No one could be that foolish. Although that is a small Guzu encampment, it houses millions of Guzu. It would be nothing short of suicide,” the woman immediately dismissed the idea. Such a thing was absolutely impossible.

“Master, can we follow and watch? Xuan doesn’t want Uncle Lin to get hurt…” Xuan shook the woman’s delicate hand, pleading.

“Hmm…” The woman nodded.

…

Lin Fan, rushing forward all the way, finally saw the massive encampment ahead. It resembled the empires of the Xuanhuang World, surrounded by towering walls.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a surge of bloodthirsty energy coming from the encampment.

On the blackened walls, bloodstains were visible, and the corpses of various races hung there, as if declaring to the world that the Guzu were the rulers, while other races were merely meat awaiting slaughter.

Inside the encampment, a cacophony of roars, cries of pain, and screams echoed through the void.

Even from such a distance, Lin Fan could hear them clearly.

These were the voices of various races, suffering cruel torture within.

Hearing these sounds, Lin Fan thought of Xuan’s face. Although he hadn’t seen with his own eyes the suffering of Xuan and the others at the hands of the Guzu, he could still imagine it.

It must have been excruciating.

“Roar…” Lin Fan spun his body, and a burst of flame erupted from him like a meteor wrapped in fire, tearing through the sky.

“Boom…”

Lin Fan descended from the void, landing outside the city walls.

Facing the Guzu encampment before him, Lin Fan felt no fear in his heart, for a force within him was driving him forward.

“Guzu! All of you bastards, come out and die!” Lin Fan’s roar, like a storm, swept across the entire Guzu encampment.

Lin Fan stood there, gripping the Eternal Axe even tighter.

A gentleman may wait ten years to avenge a grudge.

But for Lin Fan, those were just excuses cowards gave themselves.

“Who dares to cause trouble?” In an instant, a domineering voice roared from within the encampment.

“Boom…”

The earth trembled, and the massive gates of the city swung open with a deafening noise. In an orderly fashion, a swarm of dark Guzu poured out like locusts.

These ferocious Guzu lined up neatly beneath the city walls, stretching as far as the eye could see—tens of thousands in number.

Their fierce and cruel aura shot up like pillars into the sky.

Lin Fan stood there, swallowing hard, his palms sweating.

From among the Guzu, a towering figure stepped forward.

This Guzu was far more powerful than the others, radiating a violent aura. Upon seeing the lone figure ahead, he burst into laughter.

“I am Guzu Hundred Commander Gutao. A single human dares to cause trouble here? You must really be tired of living,” Gutao laughed loudly at the sight of the lone human before him.

…

At this moment, the group hiding in the void were completely stunned.

“How could it be like this…” The woman stared at Lin Fan in disbelief. She never expected this guy to actually come here to fight the Guzu head-on.

What kind of idiot would do something like this?

Any person with a normal mind would never dare to do such a thing.
