Chapter 205: Leave It to Me!
"Attack!"
Behind Qin Tian, several powerhouses from the Nirvana Golden Ranking also wore grim expressions and were about to charge forward.
"Fools who don't know their place."
The red-robed man in midair looked indifferently at the charging Qin Tian, then slowly extended his palm and gently clenched it.
Boom!
The space in front of him suddenly twisted. A strange black beam shot out from the void like lightning, slamming straight into Qin Tian.
Pfft!
The black beam struck him squarely. Golden light erupted from Qin Tian's body, but in the next instant, it dimmed.
He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was flung back like a severed kite, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The other Nirvana Golden Ranking powerhouses who had been about to act halted immediately, their faces filled with shock.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Qin Tian—at the Sixth-Stage Nirvana Realm—to be defeated in a single blow!
"That guy is strong," Lin Dong said in a low voice, his gaze serious.
Lin Fan chuckled lightly. "He's only at the Sixth-Stage Nirvana Realm. The reason he defeated Qin Tian in one move must be because he's channeling power from the Heaven-Sealing Array Diagram."
Xiao Diao added flatly, "You're right. That Heaven-Sealing Array is a Pure Yuan Treasure. This guy is clearly capable of channeling a portion of its power."
"Even if it's only a fraction, added to his own strength, it's no wonder he could beat Qin Tian so easily."
"Pure Yuan Treasure?" Lin Dong frowned. It was his first time hearing that term.
"It's a class above Heaven-tier Spirit Treasures—rarer and far more powerful," Xiao Diao explained calmly.
In the air, the red-robed man looked down on the crowd. His voice was cold, his expression mocking.
"Anyone else want to try?"
The summit fell silent.
Everyone looked grim. Some clenched their fists, clearly tempted to act…
But as soon as they glanced at Qin Tian's fallen figure, it was like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over their heads.
Even someone like Qin Tian had fallen so miserably. If they stepped up, they'd probably fare worse.
Lan Ying and the other Nirvana Golden Ranking experts had dark, uncertain expressions. The man's power had clearly shaken them.
In the sky, the man named Cao Yu looked at the quiet mountaintop and smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the black rings held by his allies flared with beams of light.
Those rays pierced the void, gradually forming a massive black formation in the air.
"We can't let them finish the array!"
Lan Ying and Qing Feng's expressions turned even more grim as the formation began to take shape.
"Let's move. I'm not going to that godforsaken Western Xuan Region!"
One of the Nirvana Golden Ranking experts, a man with a heavy black sword on his back, said with a dark expression.
"Can any of you take on Cao Yu?" Lan Ying asked gravely, her jade-like hand clenching tightly.
If they couldn't stop Cao Yu, there'd be no way to interfere with the enemy's formation.
At her question, the surrounding talents from the ten super dynasties all fell silent.
None of them had the strength to take on Cao Yu.
"Watch yourselves. I'll help and claim that champion's title while I'm at it," Lin Fan said, his brow arching slightly as he spoke to Lin Dong and the others behind him.
He then flickered forward and landed beside Lan Ying's group.
"Leave Cao Yu to me," he said calmly.
"Lin Fan!"
"Brother Lin Fan!"
The group greeted him as he arrived.
Lin Fan nodded slightly. "I'll handle Cao Yu. You focus on stopping the formation."
"Can you handle him?" Lan Ying bit her lip, her tone filled with concern.
Though Lin Fan had killed the Song Family's three demons and even forced Qin Tian to back down, his strength hadn't seemed clearly superior to Qin Tian's.
Cao Yu had taken down Qin Tian in a single move!
"Let me go instead," Xiao Diao's voice rang out as he arrived beside Lin Fan.
Lin Dong, Xiao Yan, Su Rou, and the others followed close behind.
"You can't go all out. That Yuan Gate guy doesn't seem like the forgiving type," Lin Fan said softly, using a voice only Xiao Diao could hear.
"You sure you can handle it?" Xiao Diao frowned.
"Relax," Lin Fan chuckled, then stepped into the air, facing Cao Yu.
"Another fool who doesn't know his limits," Cao Yu sneered coldly at him.
"We'll see after we fight," Lin Fan replied calmly, unfazed.
Cao Yu took a step forward and beckoned with his hand, smiling. "Come, let's see how many moves you can withstand."
"Disrupting the array is up to you," Lin Fan said, glancing back at Lin Dong, Lan Ying, and the others.
"Be careful, Big Brother Lin Fan!" Su Rou said nervously, clenching her fists.
"Don't worry," Lin Fan smiled, then turned to face Cao Yu, extending his hand and curling his fingers. "Let's see just how mighty the Western Xuan Region's elites are."
"Arrogant fool!"
Cao Yu was irritated by Lin Fan's calm demeanor. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he thrust his hand forward, pointing through the air!
Boom!
Though it looked like a casual gesture, the surrounding Yuan Power instantly exploded.
The void twisted again, and a torrent of black light surged forth, condensing into a razor-sharp beam that tore through the air toward Lin Fan.
Seeing such ferocity in Cao Yu's first strike, Lan Ying and the others were visibly shocked.
Clearly, Cao Yu had no intention of letting Lin Fan last more than a single exchange.
The speed of the attack made it impossible to dodge!
But Lin Fan had no intention of dodging at all.
Whoosh!
The deadly black beam reached Lin Fan in an instant.
Lan Ying and the others felt a chill in their hearts.
Su Rou's delicate face was filled with worry.
Clang!
A clear, metallic ring suddenly echoed.
Before Lin Fan, a towering dark-golden bell had appeared without warning.
It was the Xuanwu Heaven-Suppressing Bell—a Heaven-tier Spirit Treasure Lin Fan had obtained from a reward draw!
The massive bell shuddered violently as the black beam struck it, unleashing a wave of Yuan Power in all directions.
Behind the bell, Lin Fan stood unscathed.
"Yes! He blocked it!"
Lan Ying and Su Rou couldn't help but cheer with joy.
"That's… a Heaven-tier Spirit Treasure?"
Cao Yu stared at the bell, his eyes gleaming with heat.
"Heaven-tier or not, it depends on who's using it," he sneered. "Let's see how many of my strikes you can block."
"You're not the only one who can attack," Lin Fan replied calmly.
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, surging Yuan Power roared from Lin Fan's body, condensing into five towering beams of energy.
The beams coalesced into five colossal, crimson fingers.
The ancient fingers formed in a flash, rending open the void. In the darkness beyond, a blurry figure of immense size loomed—its presence seemingly above the heavens themselves.
"Great Wilderness Heaven-Imprisoning Hand!"
A torrent of Yuan Power howled from Lin Fan's body as he thrust his palm forward!
