Chapter 181: Saving Beauty—Vermilion Flame Barrier!
[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained: One Immortal Origin Fruit!]
[Ding! You touched Lin Yan and obtained: One Heaven-Grade Spirit Treasure—Black Tortoise Sky-Suppressing Bell!]
Immortal Origin Fruit!
Heaven-Grade Spirit Treasure!
Not bad at all!
Upon hearing the system notifications, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel delighted.
The Immortal Origin Fruit contained vast and violent energy—after refining, it could significantly enhance yuan power and physical strength.
As for the Black Tortoise Sky-Suppressing Bell, it was a top-tier defensive treasure. It could block not only yuan power attacks but also spiritual and even soul-based assaults!
In high spirits, Lin Fan flew off with Lin Dong and the others in the direction where Su Rou and her companions had gone.
…
In stark contrast, the current mood of Su Kui, Su Rou, and Liu Ya was bleak and filled with despair.
Along a wooded path, Su Kui had already been struck down, lying injured on the ground with blood at the corner of his mouth.
Su Rou and Liu Ya's expressions were pale with hopelessness as they looked at his condition.
"Liu Ya, protect Xiao Rou and get out of here!"
Su Kui forced the words through clenched teeth, enduring the pain.
"Hmph. After wasting so much time, let's end this already."
A cold, mocking voice echoed around them.
Moments later, five black-clad figures appeared on the trees above, gazing down like cats toying with mice.
"Yan Mo! You've gone too far!"
Su Kui's face contorted as he shouted angrily at the man in the lead.
"You brought this on yourselves. Hand over your sister—maybe then we'll let you die quickly."
Yan Mo replied indifferently.
"In your dreams!"
Su Kui gritted his teeth, pushed through the pain, and prepared for a desperate counterattack.
Su Rou's eyes welled up with tears as she watched, helpless and terrified.
"Bold—but fools like you never last long,"
Yan Mo sneered as he darted forward.
His palm struck like a storm, smashing toward Su Kui.
Su Kui shoved Su Rou aside and mustered all his remaining strength, clashing fists with Yan Mo.
But already wounded, Su Kui was no match. He coughed blood and was sent flying again.
Seeing that, Yan Mo made no effort to hold back. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes as yuan power surged to his fingertips like a blade—aimed straight for Su Kui's throat!
"Big Brother!!"
Su Rou screamed, and in a blur, she leapt to shield Su Kui.
"A touching scene… too bad I don't care about sparing delicate flowers,"
Yan Mo sneered, the yuan blade slicing straight for her face.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a shadow appeared before Su Rou.
A dark crimson light erupted, forming a barrier that completely engulfed her.
The yuan blade slammed into the barrier—only to be instantly dissolved!
"Take him down!"
Yan Mo's face changed, shouting at his four allies.
The five of them surrounded Su Rou, launching torrents of yuan power at the crimson barrier.
But none of their attacks had any effect—all dissolved like raindrops on fire.
Su Rou instinctively shut her eyes, trembling.
Then she opened them—
And saw the tall, familiar figure standing between her and the enemies.
One man had blocked the combined attacks of five powerful enemies!
At that moment, a deep sense of safety bloomed in her heart.
As long as he was here…
Even if the sky collapsed, nothing would harm her.
As she stared, she suddenly realized why the figure seemed so familiar.
"Su Rou, are you alright?"
The man turned—and Su Rou saw his face clearly.
"Big Brother Lin Fan!"
Her cheeks flushed bright red as she recognized him. She shyly nodded and quickly looked away.
"Let me take care of this first,"
Lin Fan smiled gently, then turned to Yan Mo and his group.
Yuan power erupted from his body.
With a low shout—
"Vermilion Flame Barrier—go!"
The crimson barrier that had been protecting Su Rou instantly spun around and surged toward Yan Mo's group.
It expanded in mid-air like a massive cauldron or bell, and one could faintly see a Vermilion Bird phantom circling it!
BOOM!
The barrier ballooned outward, trapping all five enemies inside.
"Burn."
Lin Fan's soft voice fell.
Three-colored flames erupted inside the barrier.
The outer layer was ordinary fire.
The middle—Nirvana Fire.
At the very core—Nirvana Demon Flame!
What had been a shield moments ago had become a burning execution ground.
"Aaahhh!"
Within the barrier, Yan Mo and the others screamed as they were consumed by fire, their bodies turned into living torches.
Seconds later—silence.
Nothing remained inside the barrier except a sea of flame.
"Disperse."
With a thought, Lin Fan dismissed the barrier.
It vanished, as if the execution had never occurred.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan arrived.
"Enemies? Already dealt with?"
Xiao Diao looked around, surprised.
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Just a few clowns. They're gone."
"Big Brother Lin Fan is amazing!"
Su Rou's voice was filled with awe. Her cheeks still rosy, her eyes shone with admiration.
One move had annihilated five powerful foes.
"But remember,"
Lin Fan looked at her and said calmly,
"You have talent, but your personality is too soft. Out here in the Ancient Battlefield, being strong means nothing if your heart is weak. That invites danger."
"This time, you were lucky I showed up. Next time, you might not be so fortunate."
"...Okay."
Su Rou nodded obediently.
Nearby, Su Kui, supported by Liu Ya, had just arrived and caught the end of their conversation.
He smiled faintly, as though something had finally been resolved in his heart.
"Brother Lin Fan, thank you all for saving us.
This debt—I'll never forget. If the chance comes, I swear to repay it,"
Su Kui said solemnly, bowing deeply.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lin Fan!"
Su Rou bowed sweetly, her gaze full of gratitude.
"So, what will you do now?"
Lin Fan asked casually, changing the subject.
