Chapter 567: I'll Send You on Your Way!
Lin Fan continuously searched for True Martial Crystal Stones.
Along the way, his harvest was not insignificant.
On the road, Lin Fan naturally encountered many people, and he also witnessed some fighting over True Martial Crystal Stones.
But…
No one dared to rob the True Martial Crystal Stones from Lin Fan.
Because everyone knew that Lin Fan's strength was very formidable, and even many people could not fathom his depth, having no idea how high he ranked on the Tiger List. Therefore, even those ranked above Lin Fan on the Tiger List did not dare to attack him and snatch his stones.
As a result, Lin Fan was spared much trouble, allowing him to concentrate on searching for True Martial Crystal Stones.
Of course, this also meant Lin Fan missed some opportunities, like if someone had actively sought trouble with him, he could have seized more True Martial Crystal Stones.
But if others did not make a move against Lin Fan, he would not resort to such bandit-like behavior, and so the speed at which Lin Fan accumulated True Martial Crystal Stones was ultimately limited.
Lin Fan found another True Martial Crystal Stone and was delighted to collect it.
"Sigh!"
However, soon after, Lin Fan heaved a deep sigh and thought to himself: "The True Martial Crystal Stones are becoming scarcer by the day, since so many have been taken by others. It seems that gathering enough True Martial Crystal Stones will not be easy!"
"Should I resort to some special tactics and proactively rob others of their True Martial Crystal Stones?"
For a moment, such a thought emerged in Lin Fan's heart.
But soon, Lin Fan dismissed the idea. He mainly adhered to the principle of not offending others unless offended. If someone came to snatch his True Martial Crystal Stones, Lin Fan would have no qualms about retaliating, but to actively steal from others?
To be honest, he really couldn't bring himself to do it!
"It seems I can only continue searching slowly!" Lin Fan eventually shook his head in resignation.
"Hm?"
The next moment, Lin Fan was startled.
A joyful smile appeared on his face: "Great, great, I didn't expect that Chen Yong, that guy, gathered True Martial Crystal Stones so quickly? Heh heh, now it's time for me to collect the rent, haha!"
Just now, Lin Fan sensed through the tracking mark he left on Chen Yong that Chen Yong had found a lot of True Martial Crystal Stones.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan immediately headed quickly in Chen Yong's direction.
Soon, Chen Yong appeared within Lin Fan's sight.
"Ah?"
Seeing Lin Fan appearing before him, Chen Yong feigned a panicked look and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Fan said indifferently, "I'm not doing anything. Just hand over all the True Martial Crystal Stones you have on you!"
Chen Yong replied, "No way, I won't give you the True Martial Crystal Stones I have!"
Lin Fan said, "If you refuse to listen and won't hand over the True Martial Crystal Stones voluntarily, then I'll have to take them myself."
As he spoke, Lin Fan was ready to make a move.
But…
In that instant, Lin Fan suddenly felt his entire body bristle, as a very dangerous aura locked onto him.
"Not good!"
Lin Fan inwardly exclaimed.
He knew he had fallen into a trap.
"Retreat!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan prepared to flee.
"Hmph, still thinking of escaping? Wishful thinking. Leave behind your True Martial Crystal Stones, then you can go!" The cold voice of Zhao Xijun rang out.
At the same time, a sword shadow, accompanied by Zhao Xijun's voice, slashed straight towards Lin Fan.
"Activate the function to find flaws!"
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan immediately activated the Universal Image's function to find flaws.
Instantly, Lin Fan spotted the flaw within that sword shadow.
Lin Fan took a step and evaded the attack of the sword shadow with an extremely strange arc, but due to the sword shadow's speed being too fast, Lin Fan still suffered a slight impact. A whiff of Sword Qi grazed Lin Fan's left arm, causing blood to flow freely.
Zhao Xijun's figure suddenly appeared.
"Hm?"
Zhao Xijun, with a slight frown, looked at Lin Fan and said, "I didn't expect that you could actually dodge my attack? Honestly, it surprises me!"
Zhao Xijun was right, Lin Fan's reaction truly surprised him.
Originally, Zhao Xijun thought that with his surprise attack, Lin Fan would inevitably be injured.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan had managed to dodge?
Zhao Xijun finally realized that perhaps Lin Fan's strength was a bit higher than he had anticipated.
However, Zhao Xijun still didn't care. Even if Lin Fan's strength was higher, he wouldn't take Lin Fan seriously. In his eyes, Lin Fan was still an ant-like existence, only slightly stronger than a normal ant.
"What do you want to do?"
Lin Fan looked at Zhao Xijun and asked in a deep voice.
In fact, Lin Fan knew what Zhao Xijun wanted to do, but he feigned ignorance to buy himself time.
Zhao Xijun clearly wasn't falling for it and said with a sneer, "Are you trying to buy time? Sadly, playing tricks in front of me? You're still too green. I don't want to tangle with you. Hand over the True Martial Crystal Stone and get lost!"
Lin Fan said, "Don't even dream of me handing over the True Martial Crystal Stone."
It hadn't been easy for Lin Fan to collect the True Martial Crystal Stone; naturally, he wouldn't hand it over so easily.
"Hm?"
Zhao Xijun's brow furrowed and he said, "If that's the case, I'll send you on your way!"
While speaking, Zhao Xijun suddenly made his move.
His body swept toward Lin Fan.
The longsword in his hand brought forth a streak of Sword Light that suddenly appeared right in front of Lin Fan.
After this streak of Sword Light appeared, it gave off the impression that the Sword Light pierced the heavens, and Lin Fan seemed to be completely enveloped by it...
"Breaking Character Technique!"
Lin Fan thrust out with his Heaven Punishment Divine Spear without any hesitation, utilizing the Breaking Character Technique from the Combat Five-Character Technique.
A sweeping thrust emerged, carrying with it an immense momentum. It gave off an odd sensation that Lin Fan's thrust seemed capable of breaking through all techniques under the heavens.
"Hm? This spear..."
Even Zhao Xijun, after seeing Lin Fan's thrust, slightly furrowed his brows. He could feel the power within Lin Fan's spear.
Boom boom boom...
Terrifying sounds erupted as the attacks of the two collided.
Lin Fan only felt an immense energy sweeping toward him. Then, he couldn't control his own body and was sent flying backward, traveling a great distance before he could barely stand firm on the ground.
Lin Fan felt his internal energy roiling, almost unable to resist spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
In this clash, Lin Fan still suffered a great loss.
After all, the gap between the two was just too large; Lin Fan was no match for Zhao Xijun.
"Ha!"
