“What the hell is that?!”
“Fuck! It’s courting death!”
“Run!”
As the crowd saw the unclean thing charging toward them, some fled in terror, while others unleashed their divine abilities in an attempt to suppress and kill it.
However, they discovered that their attacks landed on the thing like a stone sinking into the ocean—completely ineffective.
Luo Yin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he let out a cold laugh.
“So it’s just a Blood Nether Soldier. I thought it was a Blood Nether General for a moment!”
This Blood Nether had no fixed form. Now that it had suffered heavy damage, it had transformed into a shadow, seeking another unfortunate soul to parasitize.
Naturally, Luo Yin wouldn’t let it succeed.
Previously, only the Primordial Chaos Sword Embryo could destroy such a creature, so he hadn’t acted lightly.
But things were different now.
With methods like the Mount Sumeru Tribulation Seal, the Prison Suppressing Body, the True Fate Technique, and other divine abilities at his disposal, he could easily eradicate it. There was no way he’d let it escape.
Just as the Blood Nether Soldier was about to plunge into a man’s body, Luo Yin made his move.
He flipped his hand, and a strand of Mount Sumeru intent shot out, condensing in midair into a massive seal.
Tribulation light flickered across the surface of the great seal, with runes faintly visible. It abruptly blocked the Blood Nether Soldier’s path.
Suddenly, the great seal split into four, forming a cage that enclosed the Blood Nether Soldier within.
Luo Yin then waved his hand, and the four seals slammed together!
Rip!
The gravely wounded Blood Nether Soldier didn’t even have time to scream before it was ground into powder.
Seeing this, the fleeing crowd finally calmed down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“That… what the hell was that thing?!”
“My strongest attack didn’t even scratch it! Too terrifying!”
“The aura on it was so horrifying—I’ve never even heard of such a thing!”
“Blood… Blood Nether! That was a Blood Nether!”
As the crowd puzzled over it, a white-bearded elder recognized the creature and couldn’t help exclaiming in shock.
The crowd was instantly stunned.
Blood Nether!?
Wasn’t that the scourge Lin Fan had once spoken of?
To think it would appear here!
Amid their shock, they turned to look at Luo Yin, clicking their tongues in amazement.
Just who was this guy? He not only erased a Marquis Realm expert but also instantly killed a Blood Nether!
Those who had previously schemed for Luo Yin’s Primordial Heavy Pupils began to rethink their plans carefully.
“Young Master Luo’s strength has grown even more. I truly can’t imagine it—someone at the Great Ability Realm Peak casually slaying a Marquis Realm powerhouse. Even the top two on the Newcomers List wouldn’t find it that easy to kill a Marquis Realm expert, would they?”
In the private box, Luo Qianqiu’s beautiful eyes shimmered with admiration as she gazed at Luo Yin, her worship growing ever deeper.
She felt that her previous assessment of him had been far too conservative.
Ling Qingxue pursed her lips, a hint of resentment flickering in her eyes.
She had thought that recovering her strength would give her a slight edge in her confrontations with Luo Yin.
Now, it seemed that wasn’t the case at all!
“Y-Young Master Luo… he isn’t going to attack Mr. Lin, is he?”
Xiao Yurou’s trembling voice sounded from behind, a trace of worry appearing on her delicate face.
She didn’t actually care about Lin Fan’s life or death; she was just concerned that without him, there wouldn’t be any more exciting stories to hear.
After all, in her view, Luo Yin knowing the continuation of Tales of the Great Wilderness was merely the result of his deductions.
“Hey! Sister Xiao, stop worrying about Lin Fan’s life. It’s just a storybook tale! My young master knows way more than that guy! Why don’t you just marry my young master? Then you can listen to stories every day.”
Ling’er threw her arms around Xiao Yurou’s arm and rubbed against her ample chest. After speaking, she couldn’t help pouting.
She seemed a bit dissatisfied with herself.
Hearing this, Xiao Yurou’s face flushed bright red.
“W-What nonsense are you spouting! B-But… does Young Master Luo really tell stories?”
Ling’er puffed out her cheeks.
“Sister Yurou, you can relax. My young master is the real deal with heaven-defying talents. A mere storybook tale? Of course he knows it. Whether he tells it to you, though, depends on your own abilities.”
Then, Ling’er leaned in and whispered in her ear,
“Oh, and let me tell you a secret—you’ve got a huge advantage! Young master’s sure to like it!”
Xiao Yurou’s face turned scarlet. Though she didn’t understand what Ling’er meant by her “huge advantage,” the blatant discussion of her and a man like this was something she could hardly accept.
“S-Stop… stop talking.”
“Sister Yurou, you only know how fun storybook tales are, but there are so many other things in this world even more interesting than stories or cultivation! Like the game that Sister Qingxue always plays with young master. Ling’er wants to play too, but unfortunately, young master has no interest in playing it with me.”
Ling’er pursed her lips, looking a little dejected.
Xiao Yurou blinked in confusion. “A game? What kind of game?”
“Ling’er, what nonsense are you saying!”
At that moment, Ling Qingxue’s voice rang out. Ling’er shrank back, giggling.
“Sister Qingxue, I was just joking. Just joking!”
Ling Qingxue shot her a flirtatious glare and shook her head helplessly.
Was that game fun?
She actually didn’t know either.
Xiao Yurou looked puzzled but didn’t press further. Instead, she turned her gaze to Luo Yin and murmured softly to herself,
“He… can he really create stories as captivating as Tales of the Great Wilderness?”
Meanwhile, Luo Yin had arrived in front of Lin Fan and looked down at him slumped in his chair.
Luo Yin could understand the man’s current mood.
Traversing to this world, binding a system—he had thought it was the start of an invincible protagonist’s journey.
But it turned out he was just cannon fodder. No one could accept that.
Lin Fan raised his head, his face ashen, his eyes lifeless as he stared at Luo Yin. He spoke with difficulty,
“Are… you going to kill me?”
“Actually, I’d rather keep a fellow countryman around to keep me company in this foreign world. But alas, one mountain can’t hold two tigers, so you must die!”
Luo Yin said expressionlessly.
Lin Fan gave a self-mocking smile.
“Can you at least let me die knowing the truth? I want to understand what’s really going on here.”
Luo Yin nodded slightly.
“Of course. And I have a few questions for you as well.”
With that, Luo Yin grabbed Lin Fan by the collar and vanished in a flash.
