Chapter 411: Total Annihilation, Shocking the Region!
Whoosh!
Another flash of golden light streaked across the air—an exquisitely crafted golden dagger shot forth!
Shlick!
With a crisp sound, the escaping spirit of Cao Ying was instantly sliced apart!
In the next moment, the golden dagger reversed direction and disappeared back into Lin Fan's body.
As the crowd watched Lin Fan decisively finish off Cao Ying, their eyes widened in disbelief, shock flashing across every face.
"Is this guy really that powerful?"
"Cao Ying, who's dominated the Beast Battle Region for years, was just… killed like that?"
"Even his spirit couldn't escape. That Lin Fan is ruthless!"
"Cao Ying came here with great pomp to kill Lin Fan, wanting to show off Blood Python City's power and intimidate everyone. I bet he never imagined he'd lose his life over it!"
"This human named Lin Fan… he's not someone you want to mess with. Strong and merciless—he's even more savage than we beastfolk!"
…
"Lord Lin Fan is so strong!"
Beside Xinqing, the two Nine-Tails girls stared at Lin Fan in awe and joy. Their gazes were full of reverence.
Xinqing was similarly shaken. Although she already knew Lin Fan was powerful, seeing him kill a half-step Full Completion Death Profound Realm expert like Cao Ying with her own eyes was still overwhelming.
Even more so, because Lin Fan had done all this largely for her and her two clan sisters.
Lin Dong, on the other hand, wasn't surprised—though his determination to grow stronger burned even brighter. He had to catch up to Lin Fan.
"The city lord… is dead!"
The Blood Python City warriors, who had been ready to swarm Lin Fan, froze in place, their faces filled with horror.
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the entire group broke into a chaotic retreat, fleeing in every direction.
"Lin Dong, with me—kill them all!" Lin Fan's gaze turned cold as he called out.
Since they were already mortal enemies, there was no reason to let any of them escape.
Besides, this whole event had been orchestrated to make a statement—to shake the Beast Battle Region.
By completely wiping out Blood Python City, the news would spread fast and wide, reaching every corner of the region.
Calling Lin Dong to fight alongside him was also part of the plan—to make both of their names known. That way, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan would surely hear and come to find them.
"Alright!" Lin Dong responded immediately. With a wave of his sleeve, the Burning Heaven Cauldron appeared in his hand. In a flash, he activated the Burning Heaven Formation, trapping many of the fleeing Blood Python City warriors within.
Under the roaring flames, scores of enemies were burned to ash.
Lin Fan moved with a flicker, catching up to the fleeing Cao Mang. With one swing of the Thunder Emperor Staff, he shattered Cao Mang's skull, then destroyed his spirit as well.
Meanwhile, Lei Zhen tried to flee—only to be taken down by Lin Dong.
In less than a quarter-hour, the fearsome force from Blood Python City had been completely wiped out by Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
"So ruthless…"
The watching crowd all flinched, their scalps tingling with fear. A chill ran down their spines.
The previously loud and bustling plains fell into dead silence.
Everyone present—cultivators and beastfolk alike—watched the scene in shock, their eyes eventually turning toward the two young figures in the sky with a deep sense of dread.
These two… were terrifying.
After finishing off the last of Blood Python City's forces, Lin Fan returned to Xinqing and the other two girls. He calmly swept his gaze across the crowd.
The moment their eyes met his, the onlookers instinctively looked away, not daring to meet his stare.
"Let's go," Lin Fan said after casually collecting the loot from the battlefield. He turned and started walking away.
Lin Dong, Xinqing, and the others quickly followed.
On the wreckage-strewn plains, countless eyes remained locked on Lin Fan's retreating figure, full of awe and fear.
It wasn't until Lin Fan's group vanished from sight that the silence finally broke—and an uproar surged across the crowd.
No one had expected this outcome.
Who would've thought that a previously unknown human would appear out of nowhere and slay Cao Ying, a long-standing powerhouse of the Beast Battle Region?
"That guy's name is Lin Fan, huh? What a terrifying individual. After today, his name's going to spread across the entire Beast Battle Region."
Many people secretly gasped in disbelief.
Some, however, shook their heads in private. The Beast Battle Region was chaotic by nature, and someone as brazen as Lin Fan was bound to draw more trouble.
This time it was Blood Python City. Next time… who knows?
After a round of discussion, the crowd gradually dispersed.
And just as expected, news of Lin Fan's battle with Blood Python City rapidly spread throughout the Beast Battle Region.
Lin Fan's name rose like a comet.
Alongside it, Lin Dong's name also began to spread.
Though Lin Fan didn't witness it personally, he had more or less anticipated this outcome—it was his intention from the start.
After dealing with the Blood Python City affair, the rest of their journey went smoothly. Before long, they were drawing close to the Nine-Tails Clan's territory.
…
"Lord Lin Fan, in half an hour we should reach Nine-Tails Village…" Xinqing wiped the light sweat from her smooth forehead and called out from the front.
"Got it," Lin Fan nodded, scanning the area ahead. This land was lush and green, filled with vitality—a stark contrast to the desolate plains where they had first arrived.
"This area is at the border between Thunder Abyss Mountain and Hundred Beast Ridge. It's much more stable than the Scarlet-Yellow Plains," Xinqing explained, walking beside Lin Fan and sharing all the intel she knew.
"How does Blood Python City compare to those two powers?" Lin Dong asked.
Xinqing's expression turned serious. "Blood Python City can't compare at all."
"The leaders of both Thunder Abyss Mountain and Hundred Beast Ridge are among the Eight Great Beast Generals. Under them are nine elite warriors—each one no weaker than Blood Python City's lord."
Lin Dong's gaze hardened upon hearing that.
"So they're that powerful," Lin Fan nodded with a slight smile. "Interesting."
As they chatted and traveled, half an hour quickly passed—and at last, they arrived at the Nine-Tails Village Xinqing had mentioned.
