The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1672 - 1677: Zhang Fan Takes Action

The upper-realm intruder used despicable means, causing Lin Fei to be captured.

However, Lin Fei knew that if he truly surrendered, he would definitely be the one to suffer. He wouldn’t even have any room to negotiate some terms with the opponent, so Lin Fei decided he couldn’t just let the opponent have his way!

Lin Fei refused to meet the opponent’s demands, but they shattered another village.

The village turned into ruins, and Lin Fei was enraged. Just as he was about to step forward, he found someone blocking his way; it was Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan stopped Lin Fei’s footsteps, "You’re no match for them. Save your trump card for the end; let me handle them now. I’ve been itching for action during this downtime."

Lin Fei couldn’t override Zhang Fan, and at this moment, Zhang Fan stepping up was the best choice. So Lin Fei didn’t insist on his own idea, allowing Zhang Fan to take action.

Moreover, what Zhang Fan said was true; Lin Fei still had the card of Little Black in hand. But since Zhang Fan wanted to go challenge the opponent, Lin Fei did not stop him, letting Zhang Fan try out the opponent’s strength.

By now, Zhang Fan had already charged in, and his cultivation rose steeply, finally reaching the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

An expert on the verge of entering the Nascent Soul Realm appeared between heaven and earth.

Lin Fei watched Zhang Fan within the array with an imposing aura that was very extraordinary. Even with a sense of suave dominance, his body was surrounded by azure light, evidently a cultivation technique of the Qingyun Sect. However, Lin Fei knew that Zhang Fan had another cultivation technique, a set combining righteous and demonic skills, including a demon skill.

"Come on, you contemptible people; let me see if your strength matches your arrogance!" Zhang Fan said aloud.

Feeling Zhang Fan’s aura, that surging True Qi left them horrified. Clearly, among them were indeed Golden Core stage experts, yet none were the top-notch Golden Core stage expert like Zhang Fan.

Lin Fei knew if things continued like this, victory would surely be Zhang Fan’s.

"Senior and junior brothers, let’s go together. We are all in the Golden Core stage, even if he is slightly superior, we need not fear him!" A disciple from the Desolate Earth Sect said aloud.

Upon exchanging glances, the others decided to strike together. After all, what the Desolate Earth Sect disciple said made sense. At worst, if they attacked together, they wouldn’t believe that a late Golden Core stage guy could resist their combined might?

"Kill!"

"Sweep with the Demon Stick!"

As soon as Zhang Fan took action, he directly took out his fire stick and swept it towards the Desolate Earth Sect disciples.

A green light blade attacked towards the Desolate Earth Sect disciples, who were already prepared to attack together, striking back at Zhang Fan.

As several people joined forces, various attack methods were unleashed, chromatic lights collided with Zhang Fan’s green light blade unfurling in mid-air. The green light did not match the opponent’s joint forces, ultimately shattering, counterattacking towards Zhang Fan.

At this moment, Zhang Fan’s aura suddenly changed, a black aura replacing the azure light surrounding Zhang Fan. Then, a giant black sphere formed by the black aura appeared. Even as the opponent’s attack hit the sphere, it remained unmoved.

"He indeed has to use the Demon Ape Transformation!" Lin Fei did not expect Zhang Fan to utilize his most potent demon skill. Without it, he truly couldn’t overcome the opponent’s joint attack.

After deploying the Demon Ape Transformation, Zhang Fan broke through the black sphere, and a gigantic demon ape appeared before everyone, swelling in the breeze, attaining a height of ten meters within a blink.

"Roar!"

The demon ape roared, charging at the Desolate Earth Sect people, who immediately launched attacks to obstruct Zhang Fan’s assault.

However, albeit the martial art glows exploded on the demon ape Zhang Fan transformed into, the black three-eyed demon ape showed no injuries, only some fur was singed black, as it continued charging at the group. Meanwhile, its massive hand struck down, instantly crushing one upper-realm cultivator unable to escape.

Blood mist exploded in the sky, shocking everyone, not expecting Zhang Fan to possess such a demon skill; the attack power increased substantially, it was a massacre!

They had the will to resist, but seeing their attack with no impact on Zhang Fan, they scattered promptly, pursued and struck by Zhang Fan, one by one being crushed. However, after Zhang Fan crushed the sixth person, the situation changed.

A powerful force suddenly descended in the sky, followed by the lower realm’s suppression of it. Lin Fei and Zhang Fan looked towards the sky, discovering a silhouette emerging as it descended into the array. Upon entry, its repressed cultivation erupted instantly, flooding the entire array.

"Zhang Fan! Come out quickly!"

Lin Fei could feel the opponent’s might, undeniably beyond Zhang Fan’s capability!

"An expert in the Nascent Soul Realm, perfectly suitable for me to challenge!" Zhang Fan not only had no thought of retreating, but wanted to engage the opponent thoroughly, desiring a slow-burning battle style, which made Lin Fei sigh, "Truly a combat fanatic."

No matter what, the gap in cultivation could not be overlooked. Lin Fei observed Zhang Fan within the array; notwithstanding Zhang Fan being consistently suppressed by the opponent, evidently the opponent’s cultivation was much stronger than Zhang Fan’s, the disparity between the two was significant.

"Elder Gushan! Kill him quickly, he has killed many of our Desolate Earth Sect disciples!" one disciple cried aloud.

"So, it seems you are the Elder of the Desolate Earth Sect?" Zhang Fan asked aloud.

This elder named Gushan, looking forty-plus years at this moment, looked at Zhang Fan, speaking, "Demon Ape Transformation? Are you Zhang Fan of Qingyun Sect?"

"I am!"

"I don’t understand why Qingyun Sect colludes with the lower realm reptiles? Could it be you’re considering yourselves reptiles too?" Gushan uttered, without any sign of compromise foreseen.

"Haha, well said, but I only know that strength reigns supreme, if your power is lacking, you’re a reptile, this holds no relation with upper or lower realm!" Zhang Fan laughed out loud.

Upon hearing Zhang Fan’s words, the opponent frowned, nodding: "Very well, you expressed it nicely, but it’s uncertain if you possess enough potential to become a force, otherwise in my eyes, you are merely a reptile!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let’s fight!" Zhang Fan was not interested in bantering; he was the kind that spoke of battle without delay. Hence, Zhang Fan was disinclined to listen to the opponent’s chaotic excuses.

"Very well, I feel the same, take my strike!" Gushan said then unleashed a palm strike at Zhang Fan.
