Dragon Martial Sovereign

The next moment, a cold smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. Could someone actually be targeting him?

A murderous intent rose within Lin Fan's heart as well.

From the aura he sensed earlier, it was clear the other party wanted his life. Since they wanted to kill him, Lin Fan was not going to be polite. Once he made his move, he would kill the assailant and snatch the Crystal Stone...

Soon, a group of people swiftly arrived and surrounded Lin Fan.

Without a doubt, these people were Zhao Zhong's lackeys. There were five of them, encircling Lin Fan in the middle. They all stared at Lin Fan, neither speaking nor making a move.

Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want?"

Zhao Zhong's lackeys still did not speak; their task was to surround Lin Fan and prevent him from escaping.

"If you won't speak, then I will have no choice but to send you on your way!" Lin Fan said coldly. As he spoke, the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear was already in his hands.

Lin Fan was ready to strike and prepared to unleash a massacre.

"They surround you, merely to let me kill you!"

At that moment, a cold voice sounded. As the voice trailed off, Zhao Zhong approached, stepping through the air.

Zhao Zhong was incredibly fast.

"Hmm?"

The moment Lin Fan saw Zhao Zhong, his brow slightly furrowed. He sensed a familiar aura emanating from Zhao Zhong, as if he had felt it from someone else before.

"Who are you?"

Lin Fan asked coldly.

Zhao Zhong sneered and said, "Listen well, young master. My name is Zhao Zhong. Remember my name well on your way to the Netherworld. Otherwise, you will die with your eyes wide open."

"Zhao Zhong?"

Lin Fan also laughed and said, "Are you from the Zhao Family? Your kin, Zhao Xijun, provoked me for no reason, and was arrogant, ultimately dying at my hands. What now? Are you also insisting on seeking death?"

"Haha!"

Zhao Zhong laughed loudly and said, "What an arrogant fellow! Yes, you might be very powerful, and your talent might be strong, but let me tell you, you are like an ant before me. With a flick of my hand, I can extinguish you."

"Now, I give you a chance. Commit suicide. Don't force me to take action. If I do, you will wish you were dead. I will refine your soul into a Soul Device, and make you endure endless pain for thousands of years."

While speaking, Zhao Zhong looked down at Lin Fan with a condescending attitude, treating him as though he was nothing.

Lin Fan, uninterested in exchanging more pointless words with Zhao Zhong, simply said indifferently, "Make your move."

"Hmm?"

Zhao Zhong was taken aback and then sneered, "It seems you're prepared to suffer torturous death then, very well, I will grant you your wish!"

As Zhao Zhong spoke, he waved his hand.

The lackeys originally surrounding Lin Fan immediately understood Zhao Zhong's intention, and dispersed in different directions.

Zhao Zhong also advanced through the void, step by step moving toward Lin Fan.

As for Lin Fan, he remained quietly standing there. To the approaching Zhao Zhong, Lin Fan seemed as if he hadn't seen him at all, his face always maintaining an indifferent demeanor.

In fact, Lin Fan's indifferent demeanor was just a superficial display. Deep inside, he was taking Zhao Zhong very seriously as an opponent.

Lin Fan thought to himself, "No wonder this guy is ranked eighth on the Tiger List. His strength is indeed formidable. It looks like I need to give it my all later; any carelessness could lead to serious consequences!"

Lin Fan was waiting!

Waiting for Zhao Zhong to make his move.

"Swoosh!"

Finally, as Zhao Zhong approached not far from Lin Fan, a greenish long spear suddenly appeared in his hands.

Zhao Zhong was also wielding a long spear.

Under Zhao Zhong's swinging, bursts of spear blossoms appeared instantly. In a twinkling, the sky filled with spear blossoms, heading straight for Lin Fan.

The world around Lin Fan had transformed into a world of spear blossoms.

Lin Fan's complexion also slightly changed, his heart slightly panicked: "What kind of technique is this?"

For a moment, Lin Fan realized that Zhao Zhong's strength might be stronger than he had imagined.

At the same time, War Intent began to surge wildly inside Lin Fan's body; the stronger Zhao Zhong was, the happier he became, because he could enjoy a fierce fight.

"Combat Five-Character Technique, Breaking Character Technique!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan immediately used the Breaking Character Technique from the Combat Five-Character Technique.

A sweep of the spear instantly reduced the myriad spear blossoms by half.

However, the remaining spear blossoms still swept towards Lin Fan.

"Uh, his spear is indeed very strong!" Lin Fan thought to himself: "Using the Breaking Character Technique once can't completely break the attack of these spear blossoms?"

Lin Fan quickly retreated.

Meanwhile, as Lin Fan retreated, he used the Breaking Character Technique once again.

Swoosh!

When the Heaven Punishment Divine Spear swept across, all of the spear blossoms vanished.

Everything returned to normal.

"Good!"

From Zhao Zhong's side, attacks kept coming, each attack producing endless spear blossoms, each blossom containing extremely overwhelming energy, and even a slight touch could cause Lin Fan a disadvantage.

On Lin Fan's side, there was no surplus of techniques either.

He kept deploying the Breaking Character Technique from the Combat Five-Character Technique.

At the beginning, Lin Fan appeared somewhat troubled using the Breaking Character Technique to fend off Zhao Zhong's attacks.

But...

In the end, Lin Fan activated the flaw-finding function of the Universal Image.

As soon as Zhao Zhong's techniques were deployed, Lin Fan could immediately pinpoint the flaws in his moves, and then, Lin Fan would use the Breaking Character Technique, specifically targeting the flaws in Zhao Zhong's attacks.

Gradually, Zhao Zhong felt increasingly exhausted.

Honestly, before he battled Lin Fan, Zhao Zhong was very confident.

He believed that with his strength, killing Lin Fan would be a matter of moments.

But now, having engaged in relentless battles with Lin Fan, he finally realized that Lin Fan was much stronger than he had imagined.

At that moment, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but think: "No wonder he managed to kill Zhao Xijun, this man's strength is indeed very formidable."

At the same time, Zhao Zhong felt extremely annoyed and upset, even feeling somewhat humiliated.

Keep in mind, previously, Zhao Zhong boasted in front of his lackeys that he would defeat Lin Fan within five moves.

But now...

Dozens of moves had passed, not only had he failed to kill Lin Fan, but he also felt increasingly difficult to fight?

This made Zhao Zhong feel very much disgraced.
