Chapter 1483: Chapter 1481: Psychological Suppression Is a Battle of Higher Ranks!

The situation was reversed!

Right now, Lan Zhengqing was at an absolute disadvantage, while Lin Fan firmly held the upper hand.

At the very beginning.

Lan Zhengqing had stepped on Lin Fan and threatened the Divine Phoenix, so imposing and arrogant. But he never expected that in just a dozen minutes, everything would turn completely around!

He actually started to feel fear toward Lin Fan.

Although Lin Fan kept denying it, in his heart he knew perfectly well that Lin Fan’s arms had indeed exploded. And they had indeed grown back again!

Broken arms reborn—this kind of High Rank Magic was something even he couldn’t perform.

If you haven’t reached that qualification, then naturally you don’t have that ability.

Yet Lin Fan, a mere ant, actually knew such High Rank Magic. It was enough to make anyone’s jaw drop.

Thus.

An inexplicable panic started to well up in his heart.

Lan Zhengqing had always been someone who admired the strong. Whoever was the most powerful in the Five Elements Realm, he admired and respected!

In the past.

He had respected Elder Han An immensely. After all, that was a near-legendary figure of the Water Clan.

So he obeyed Elder Han An in everything, extremely deferential, letting the elder order him around like a servant.

And he was perfectly willing.

But as he grew older and his monstrous talent fully revealed itself, he instantly became a different person.

He began to gradually refuse Elder Han An’s orders, even starting to cast sidelong, condescending glances at him.

Until he participated in the Fenghua Assembly, truly displaying his Cultivation Realm to the Five Elements Realm, reaching the strength of Middle Heavenly Venerate Seventh Layer at only two hundred years of age.

You have to know.

Even in the Five Elements Realm, to reach Lower Heavenly Venerate Fifth Layer at two hundred years old was already an incredible achievement.

Already enough to be called a genius!

On the Sumeru Continent, to barely step into Dao Venerate at two hundred was already rare, and their lifelong ceiling would just be hovering between Lower Heavenly Venerate and half-step Middle Heavenly Venerate, making it extremely hard to advance any further.

From this, it could be seen that Lan Zhengqing’s monstrous level was absolutely not something ordinary people could compare to.

At the same age, he was practically a whole Great Realm ahead of his peers, and his Cultivation even surpassed elders like Elder Han An.

From that point on.

Lan Zhengqing completely broke free from Elder Han An’s control, and even turned it around so that Elder Han An had to listen to his orders instead.

This was Lan Zhengqing’s true nature.

No matter how submissive he had been before, once his strength surpassed the other party, he would immediately turn his face and refuse to recognize them.

Elder Han An was a living example.

So.

It was only natural that he now felt fear in his heart.

Because the broken-arm rebirth technique was a High Rank Magic that only appeared on those with a far higher Cultivation Realm. Even though his Divine Sense probe showed Lin Fan was only at Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, still some distance from Ancient Supreme, Lin Fan undeniably possessed this ability, so Lan Zhengqing couldn’t help but feel a trace of awe.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his chaotic heart.

At the same time.

He kept brainwashing himself.

A mere ant—don’t be afraid. Don’t treat him as a strong enemy, just treat him as a mere ant.

Thinking this, Lan Zhengqing slowly lowered his head, his body trembling slightly.

Lin Fan froze for a moment and frowned.

He had no idea what Lan Zhengqing was doing. Could it be that he wanted to bow his head and admit he was wrong?

"Hey, are you trying to apologize? If you want to apologize, then be sincere about it. Get on your knees, say ’I’m sorry,’ and kowtow. Then I can forgive you."

"After all, locking the Divine Phoenix in an Array is something I absolutely can’t forgive."

Before his voice fell.

"Heh heh—"

"Hahahahaha—"

Lan Zhengqing burst into wild laughter, arrogant, maniacal, conceited, smug!

That laugh was utterly wanton, as if he was the god of the Five Elements Realm himself!

"Kid, you really surprise me."

"I thought you were just trash, a useless waste. I didn’t expect you to be a bit interesting. No, extremely interesting!"

As Lan Zhengqing spoke, he suddenly raised his head, his ferocious features twisting into a vicious, cruel sneer.

The next second.

Without any warning!

He directly raised one hand and suddenly clenched it into a fist.

His arm was instantly wrapped in a surge of cold air, sweeping from his upper arm down toward his fist! Violent icy radiance flashed over it, boundless rays of light, dazzling to the extreme.

The air abruptly solidified, permeated by a chilling aura of slaughter.

Slaughter.

Blood.

Savagery.

Viciousness.

Boom!

Even the Void trembled fiercely, as if torn apart, emitting an earth-shattering roar.

Lan Zhengqing’s fist blasted straight toward Lin Fan, the cold air raging, turning all the surrounding air razor sharp.

In other words, even the air had turned into killing intent.

"Don’t think you’re the only one who can do it. Laozi can do it too!"

Terror beyond belief! Spine-chilling!

The air felt compressed, letting out continuous sonic booms, shockingly loud. If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably break out in a cold sweat on the spot, their very soul frightened out of their body!

The weight behind this punch was probably over tens of billions of jin!

Lan Zhengqing no longer held back. He exploded completely, pouring all his Power into that swinging fist.

Power rampaging!

Cold air surging madly!

The oppressive force smashed forward like a hot knife through butter!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the fist shot out, a fierce shockwave surged forth with the fist as its center, raging outwards, directly dispersing the cold mist around them.

Clink, clatter.

Cold met cold, directly freezing the air into frost. Time itself seemed to halt, the entire room instantly turning into a frozen hell, as if it had been sealed in ice for a thousand years.

The air around them was slowly turning into chunks of ice.

Even Lin Fan was not spared!

He felt something creeping up his instep. Looking down, he saw ice blocks forming and spreading.

This was going to freeze him solid!

Looked like Lan Zhengqing had finally brought out his true strength.

You had to know, this room was not small. To release enough energy with a single punch to freeze the entire room was terrifying in the extreme.

There probably weren’t many in the Water Clan who could do that.

Although Lan Zhengqing kept shouting, calling him an ant, his actions didn’t treat him as an ant at all.

He was treating him as the most terrifying enemy there was.

It seemed the rebirth of his Dragon Bone had scared him half to death.

Heh.

How amusing! Really damn amusing!

Lin Fan was very clear in his heart that with his current ability, he couldn’t possibly block this punch. And his body hadn’t recovered yet; his Spiritual Power was only half of what it had been.

If Lan Zhengqing hadn’t kept yelling, he would’ve stayed hidden a bit longer.

But Lan Zhengqing was already about to walk into the mist. If he didn’t go out now, the Divine Phoenix’s location would be exposed.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

So even if he didn’t have the ability, he had to grit his teeth and step up.

Just like he was doing now.

Even if he had no way to block that punch, he still had to face it with a blank face, calm and composed.

He absolutely could not show any trace of panic.

Since he couldn’t suppress the other party with skill and strength, he could only crush him psychologically.

Right now.

Lan Zhengqing was already at the brink of collapse. He kept thinking he’d hidden his Cultivation, so although his attacks were violent, they lacked the decisiveness and resolve from before.

He was hesitating too much, worrying about this and that, afraid of being counter-killed by Lin Fan.

Yet.

The more you think like that, the easier it is to be counter-killed!

Even if the opponent was far inferior, it was still easy to suffer a backlash.

A lack of confidence in yourself was the greatest encouragement you could give your enemy.

On this point, Lan Zhengqing had completely lost.

However, although Lin Fan held the psychological advantage, he still had to find a way to neutralize this punch. Only then could he completely crush Lan Zhengqing.

Dammit... with a punch this fast, this violent, how the hell was he supposed to dodge?

He frowned slightly, muttering in his heart.
