Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 1343 - 1341: No One from the Sumeru Continent Has Ever Left Alive!
Lin Fan glimpsed at the giant dragon maneuvering behind him, its searchlight-like eyes sinister and sharp, staring intently at his back.
Before him, Lao Qiu wore an expression of arrogant disdain, not taking Lin Fan seriously at all.
How could a mere Ninth Rank Saint Emperor have any standing in the Five Elements Realm!
"Kid, you can only blame your bad luck for coming to this place and running into me," Lao Qiu sneered, eyes full of vicious brutality. "Can't you see the white bones around here?"
A gust of chilling wind blew past, and the surrounding black mist suddenly dispersed.
Only then did Lin Fan, aghast, realize that he was surrounded by piles of bones as tall as small mountains, a horrifying sight!
"This..."
He furrowed his brows tightly and glanced around.
"That's right." Lao Qiu laughed, his expression growing more murderous and frenzied. "You must have come from the Sumeru Continent too. These are your predecessors, all from the Sumeru Continent."
"Throughout history, countless experts from the Sumeru Continent have tried to break into the Five Elements Realm, including Middle Heavenly Venerates and Superior Heavenly Venerates, the least being a Half-step Lower Heavenly Venerate. These people were all extremely talented, and if they hadn't tried to force their way into the Five Elements Realm, they probably would have achieved fame in the Sumeru Continent as well."
"But now they've all turned into piles of bones lying here forever, becoming a laughing stock of the Five Elements Realm, always ridiculed by us who belong to the realm."
"People who don't know their limits will never be respected! How can every Tom, Dick, and Harry, every annihilated ant hope to enter the Five Elements Realm? Even a Superior Heavenly Venerate is not necessarily a match for us, let alone you..."
Lao Qiu broke into a wild laugh, exceedingly arrogant and unrestricted, filled with boundless contempt and disdain for Lin Fan.
"This is the first time I've seen a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor trying to breach the Five Elements Realm. I really wonder what gives you such courage and nerve. Compared to these ants, you're not even as good as them."
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
The laughter echoed again, reverberating throughout the Thunder Space, sending chills down one's spine.
The giant dragon behind joined in, raising its head to emit a piercing howl, its claws directly stepping onto the pile of bones and grabbing a skull.
With a fierce exertion.
It shattered!
Shards of bone flew in all directions, horrifyingly!
The next second!
The dragon's claws pressed forcefully onto the mountain of bones, instantly turning them into powder, which scattered with the wind.
"This is your fate later; you came here only to die, with no chance of return."
Lao Qiu clasped his hands behind him and nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Fan sighed inwardly; if it weren't for a moment of pity for this beast, he could have acted and killed it long ago. Yet because of that pity, he found himself trapped, facing a formidable foe.
Now, he had to face two formidable enemies simultaneously.
One was a master from the Five Elements Realm, the other, a dragon!
"Aren't you just shameless, I just saved you, and now you turn against me, colluding with someone else to attack me. Had I known, I would have chopped your head off earlier."
Lin Fan outright ignored Lao Qiu's existence and pointed at the dragon, cursing angrily.
The dragon seemed to understand Lin Fan's point, and it stopped roaring, dazedly blinking its eyes at Lin Fan and then at Lao Qiu, appearing torn.
Seeing the dragon's odd state, Lao Qiu's eyes bulged with anger, delivering a swift kick to the dragon's body.
"Beast, what the heck do you mean?! Are you going to help him and not me?! I raised you painstakingly, wanting you to guard the Thunder Space, and now you choose not to work?!"
His voice was thunderous, as if exploding thunder bolted from his throat.
The dragon flinched abruptly, submissively lowering its head like an obedient cat in front of Lao Qiu, looking woeful.
"Don't give me that face; I'm not buying it! Stand up with me!"
Hearing Lao Qiu's manner of dealing with the dragon, Lin Fan felt it was no different from a circus taming tigers and lions, treating them as mere beasts, rather than partners.
Only resorting to scolding and beating as a means, taming these creatures under their dominating might so they dare not rebel.
The dragon before him was no different, evoking a sense of pity.
The dragon so lost its fangs, becoming a docile killing machine, a sorry sight!
"Hey! Stop pushing your luck."
"I'm training my dragon; it's none of your damn business! I'll deal with you later," Lao Qiu fumed furiously.
The dragon, humiliated, dared not lift its head, hearing Lin Fan's voice seemed to understand the plea on its behalf, casting Lin Fan a glance, then lowered its head slowly, looking helpless.
"It's a bloody nuisance to pick a fight with a dragon. Honestly, you're a disgrace, or you wouldn't be here guarding the Thunder Space," Lin Fan sneered.
"What did you say?! Say that again, you damn ant; as a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor, what gives you the right to talk to me like that!"
Lao Qiu was instantly infuriated, clearly struck at his sore spot. Being dispatched to guard the Thunder Space was not because of his exceptional skill, but rather due to his inadequacy.
Usually, a dragon guards the Thunder Space, making it hard for even a Superior Heavenly Venerate to rival it, and Lao Qiu was sent to guard but essentially to attend to the dragon's needs.
Equivalent to being the dragon's caretaker!
Therefore.
When Lin Fan uttered those words, Lao Qiu's fury knew no bounds, eyes bulging as if about to pop out.
In reality, there were lesser capable individuals in the Five Elements Realm, like Zhu Qilue.
But Zhu Qilue was the Fire Clan leader's son, and he was nothing, so he was sent here.
Lao Qiu's fury nearly exploded from his body, fuming at Lin Fan's smug expression, directly attacking!
His body emanated a ferocious and brutal aura!
The next second!
An overwhelming force barreled towards Lin Fan, an unstoppable sea expanse, earth-shaking!
Lin Fan stood motionless, calmly observing Lao Qiu.
He still didn't grasp Lao Qiu's depth, so he intended to quietly scrutinize, assessing Lao Qiu's capabilities.
A half breath!
Lao Qiu was already upon Lin Fan.
Lin Fan felt a furious wind surrounding him, as if he stood at the storm's heart, swirling clouds threatening to shred him to pieces.
The dragon watched, leaping to its feet, staring fixedly at where the two converged, wanting to move but hesitated.
Just that half-second.
Instant Escape!
Lin Fan remained expressionless, vanishing from his spot, leaving behind only an afterimage.
Lao Qiu lunged into emptiness, his body abruptly losing balance, nearly tumbling to the ground.
"What?!"
He couldn't fathom a Ninth Rank Saint Emperor possessing such abilities, managing to evade his fist assault!
Though considered a failure in the Five Elements Realm, he was more than adequate in dealing with those from Sumeru Continent.
But this guy...far exceeded his expectations!
Lao Qiu's heart shuddered, hair standing on end, wondering just who this guy truly was?!
