Chapter 415: Brothers Reunited, Annihilation!
"Lin Dong, keep an eye on the people from Beast Ridge," Lin Fan instructed Lin Dong before the space around him twisted violently.
In the next instant, Lin Fan's figure blurred like a mirage and appeared directly in front of Meng Shan, blocking his path. With a punch, he forced Meng Shan back to his original position.
"Are you really going to take things this far?" Meng Shan growled, his wariness deepening at Lin Fan's strange appearance.
"You already said it—Lei Yuan Mountain will retaliate. So why would I let you go back?" Lin Fan shook his head slightly, smiling.
Boom!
Just then, the ground trembled suddenly.
Rumble!
The tremors became more frequent by the second. At the horizon, a dark flood of what looked like steel surged forward, carrying with it a ferocious and violent aura.
The black tide howled forth, and the sky above them was soon covered in layers of black clouds formed by the oppressive aura. The clouds rolled in, blotting out the sun—it was terrifying.
Outside the Nine-Tails stronghold, everyone stared in shock at the rushing black flood. The momentum it carried far surpassed the previous two waves of forces.
As the flood drew nearer, they finally saw a fluttering banner bearing the character for "Yan" (Flame).
"It's the Tiger Devour Army of Flame General!"
Cries of alarm erupted as the people from Beast Ridge, brought by Qin Gang, looked at the approaching army that charged forward without making a single unnecessary sound. Fear flickered in their eyes.
"Flame General…"
Qin Gang's expression changed as he stared at the black army. A heavy dread and wariness surfaced in his eyes.
There had been plenty of skirmishes between Beast Ridge and Lei Yuan Mountain, and among them, the Tiger Devour Army had inflicted massive losses on Beast Ridge.
Their commander—Flame General Yan—was the fiercest warrior of Lei Yuan Mountain. In just over a year, he had risen with terrifying speed in the Beast Battle Domain, becoming a fearsome legend.
"It's actually the Tiger Devour Army!"
Aunt Xin and the others, upon seeing the dark army charging toward them, had their newly kindled hope snuffed out in an instant. Their faces turned pale.
The Tiger Devour Army's vicious reputation was simply too overwhelming. Against them, they felt no confidence at all.
"Flame General, save me…!"
Meng Shan's face lit up with joy when he recognized the army, and he shouted toward the black flood.
Hearing this, Aunt Xin and several elders from the Nine-Tails clan turned even grimmer.
Lin Fan had just killed the Iron Mountain Guard of Lei Yuan Mountain. Now Flame General had arrived with the Tiger Devour Army.
Could Lin Fan withstand this terrifying force? Especially against Lei Yuan Mountain's most fearsome general?
Nearby, Lin Dong stood beside Aunt Xin and the others, on guard against the people from Beast Ridge. But when he saw the incoming black army and the murderous aura they carried, his expression grew grave. Thunder and dark light flickered in his eyes—he was ready for a hard battle.
However, upon hearing Meng Shan's cry, Lin Fan chuckled.
Meng Shan hoped that Flame General would save him? He was bound to be disappointed.
If things hadn't changed, that Flame General should be Xiao Yan.
Yet Lin Fan still had doubts. When they left East Xuan Region, their teleportation hadn't been disrupted by those old bastards from Yuan Gate. So why hadn't Xiao Yan gone to the Celestial Demon Marten clan with Xiao Diao?
As thoughts swirled in his mind, Lin Fan didn't rush to act.
Rumble!
The black tide advanced in a charging formation and soon appeared clearly in everyone's view.
As it drew near, the crimson, ruthless eyes beneath their armor became visible to all.
Before long, everyone's gaze was drawn to the center of the flood.
There, an immense aura of brutality soared into the sky.
If the Tiger Devour soldiers were savage tigers, then the towering man at the army's center was their undisputed king!
He had the physique of a tower, and the thick killing intent around him formed a blood-red tiger-shaped phantom behind him. His tiger-like eyes swept across the scene with disdain, emanating an unparalleled dominance.
Lin Dong's eyes also landed on the towering figure—and then, his gaze gradually froze, an expression of utter disbelief overtaking his face.
"Tsk tsk, haven't seen you in over a year, Xiao Yan. You're looking pretty impressive now," Lin Fan chuckled as he gazed at the figure at the heart of the Tiger Devour Army.
With that, Lin Fan moved slightly—and instantly appeared beside Xiao Yan.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Especially Meng Shan—his eyes were filled with utter disbelief.
Qin Gang of Beast Ridge, Aunt Xin, and the elders of the Nine-Tails clan were all visibly shaken.
What shocked them most was when that notorious general—feared for his brutality—dropped to one knee before Lin Fan.
His bloodshot eyes even grew moist.
"Big Brother," he said in a hoarse voice, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Get up. Let's go see your Second Brother together," Lin Fan said with a smile as he reached out and pulled Xiao Yan to his feet.
"Mm," Xiao Yan responded, stood up, and followed Lin Fan toward Lin Dong.
The Tiger Devour Army, though surprised, didn't hesitate for a second as they made way for the two.
Soon, Lin Fan brought Xiao Yan to Lin Dong.
"Second Brother," Xiao Yan said, once again kneeling with one leg and calling out warmly, his blood-red eyes filled with affection.
Having been raised by Lin Dong since childhood, Xiao Yan was clearly more emotional when facing him.
"You brat…" Lin Dong smiled and reached out to ruffle the head of the tower-like man. Then he let out a long sigh. "Why are you in the Beast Battle Domain?"
Just then, Lin Fan noticed Meng Shan trying to sneak away.
Clearly, after realizing Xiao Yan and Lin Fan were brothers, Meng Shan had abandoned all hope of being saved and instead tried to escape during their reunion.
"Trying to run? You think you can?"
Lin Fan sneered. Space twisted around him, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Meng Shan again. Clenching his fists, the space around them warped.
In the blink of an eye, a massive silver greatsword, hundreds of meters long, appeared in Lin Fan's hands.
Gripping the spatial blade tightly, Lin Fan slashed fiercely at Meng Shan!
Sensing the deadly threat from the blade, Meng Shan's face changed drastically—he tried to flee in another direction.
"Freeze!"
Lin Fan's spirit stirred, activating the Stillness Talisman.
Instantly, Meng Shan was caught between the cracks of time and space, frozen in place, unable to move.
Slash!
The silver blade swept through—and in an instant, Meng Shan was cleaved in half!
Not only was his body destroyed—even his demon spirit was completely obliterated by the terrifying spatial force.
Seeing this, the people of Beast Ridge led by Qin Gang shuddered. When they looked at Lin Fan, their eyes were filled with fear!
Aunt Xin and the Nine-Tails elders also stared at Lin Fan with awe and reverence.
