Chapter 186: One Move to Kill—Myriad Phenomena City Shaken!
"That's... a spiritual martial art! So strong!"
The overwhelming sharpness of the technique made even many Three Yuan Nirvana experts feel a chill deep in their hearts.
They knew clearly—if it were them facing this strike, they wouldn't stand a chance.
"Lin Fan, dying beneath my spiritual martial art… you shouldn't feel wronged.
Your path in the Ancient Battlefield ends here!"
Luo Tong's eyes were sharp as blades. His icy voice echoed through the night sky.
In the next moment, he slashed with two fingers—
The golden greatsword howled downward with a terrifying momentum as if it could cleave mountains.
Whoosh!
As the sword descended, buildings below it exploded into rubble, breaking apart into fragments as smooth as polished mirrors.
The sword moved fast—nearly instantly crossing the night sky and striking directly toward Lin Fan.
"Spiritual martial arts? You're not the only one who has them."
Lin Fan spoke calmly. Suddenly, five crimson beams shot up from his body, ripping through the darkness of the night sky!
"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Hand!"
With a fierce shout, the five crimson beams transformed into five massive ancient fingers.
They fused in mid-air, forming an enormous crimson palm that looked as though it had pierced through time from the ancient past.
Even the void behind it cracked and exploded.
In that shattered space, a towering illusory figure emerged—it seemed to stand above the heavens and earth!
As the golden sword descended, Lin Fan clenched his hand.
At the same time, the enormous crimson hand smashed downward, and the phantom behind it also extended its hand—this time more solid than before.
In full view of the entire city, the massive hand grasped at the golden sword.
The clash between the two martial arts was faster than lightning!
Most people in Myriad Phenomena City only saw a flicker of light across the sky.
Then—
BOOM!
A deafening explosion shattered the silence of the night.
The whole city trembled!
A terrifying energy storm exploded out, flattening half the courtyard below and reducing many buildings to ruins.
People fled in panic. Some were unlucky enough to be knocked unconscious by the shockwaves.
Crack crack crack!
A clear, splintering sound rang out.
It was the golden sword—shattered under the grip of the crimson palm!
BOOM!
Fragments of the golden sword rained down, ripping through the air and piercing deep holes in the buildings below.
Then the crimson palm—still moving—grabbed the stunned Luo Tong and wrapped around him.
Luo Tong's terrified expression froze as the giant hand clenched—
BOOM!
With another explosion, Luo Tong was crushed into a mist of blood and flesh, his remains scattering like flower petals.
From start to finish, it all happened in seconds.
Many in the city hadn't even had time to react—
The battle was over before it began.
In the darkness, countless watching eyes were filled with shock.
No one had expected it—
Luo Tong, the former Earth Tier #1, a Fourth Yuan Nirvana expert, had been instantly crushed by Lin Fan!
The entire city went dead silent.
In the quiet, whispers began to stir…
"That guy… he's a monster!"
"The Windcloud Dynasty's leaders won't let this slide!"
"Hmph, are their leaders even stronger than Lin Fan? He just one-shot a Fourth Yuan Nirvana expert. Can they do that?"
"What level is Lin Fan really at? Even if we don't know for sure, he's got to be at least a Fifth Yuan Nirvana!"
"No matter what—he's someone we should befriend, not provoke!"
…
In the courtyard, Su Rou stared at the sky with eyes full of awe.
"Big Brother Lin Fan is incredible!"
Her voice was full of admiration and joy, her cheeks flushed.
Su Kui swallowed hard, unable to calm the turmoil in his heart.
"…The gap between Lin Fan and me just keeps growing,"
Lin Dong said with a helpless smile as he looked at his brother's silhouette in the sky.
Xiao Diao was slightly surprised.
"This guy's progress is insane… he's almost caught up with me."
Xiao Yan gripped his black iron staff tightly, silently vowing to train harder—he didn't want to fall behind Big Brother Lin Fan.
As the night deepened, the storm of energy still raged above the city, drawing countless anxious glances.
In the northern part of the city, atop a high tower, several figures stood watching the night wind.
Their gazes were all fixed on the area where the clash had just occurred, each face marked with awe.
"No one expected this black horse would be so terrifying.
Even I couldn't kill Luo Tong in one move,"
said a refined man in pale blue robes. He finally withdrew his gaze.
His name was Mu Lin, leader of the Lone Moon Dynasty, one of the four super dynasties of Myriad Phenomena City.
Standing behind him in white robes was Mu Hanyue, the woman who had spoken to Lin Fan earlier that day.
Mu Lin nodded thoughtfully.
"You're right. If we can't recruit someone like him, it's best to establish good relations.
Now that he's provoked the Windcloud Dynasty, it might actually work to our advantage."
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the city, atop another tall platform…
Two men sat facing each other across a chessboard.
One had a sickly pale face, but a dangerous vitality pulsed beneath it.
The other had a hideous scar twisting across his face, like a crawling centipede—his aura exuded deadly intent.
These two were none other than the leaders of the Windcloud Dynasty—Feng Cang and Meng Lie.
They had been watching the fight from beginning to end.
Earlier, when Luo Tong had unleashed his Sword Sovereign Finger, both had smiled cruelly, certain that Lin Fan would die.
But when the battle ended—
Their expressions froze.
Shock filled their eyes.
After a long silence, Meng Lie turned to Feng Cang and asked:
"…So, what do we do now?"
