405: Chapter 405 Lin Ran's request

Lin Ran didn't care about this at all; to him, killing Little Prince Chen Lian was no different from killing an ant.

As for how angry the Chen Residence would be, let them be angry.

As far as he was concerned, Empress Mo Chenxin would likely protect him.

After killing Little Prince Chen Lian, Lin Ran tilted his head slightly, looked at Elder Jin, and said:

“Elder Jin, I wonder if you are satisfied with this outcome?”

Elder Jin snapped out of his daze, gave Lin Ran a strange look, and nodded slightly: “It is acceptable.”

He hadn't expected Lin Ran to be so ruthless, killing Little Prince Chen Lian as soon as he said he would, without the slightest hesitation.

Under such circumstances, he naturally had nothing left to say.

“Since you lost this Life-and-Death Battle, can this fake Golden Ancient Loulan be demolished now?”

Elder Jin said with a cold face.

Lin Ran blinked his innocent eyes and feigned confusion: “Demolish the Golden Ancient Loulan? Why would we personally demolish this hard-won Golden Ancient Loulan?”

“Elder Jin, what do you take us for?”

“What! Could it be that your Zifu Holy Land is full of people who go back on their word?!”

Elder Jin instantly bristled, his eyes nearly splitting as he spoke with burning rage.

They had finally won a Life-and-Death Battle and were looking forward to demolishing the fake Golden Ancient Loulan in front of them, but Lin Ran was refusing?!

Wasn't this clearly playing with them?!

“Oh, Elder Jin, I believe you've misunderstood me.”

“Aside from the first Life-and-Death Battle, where I used the demolition of the Golden Ancient Loulan as a stake...”

“In which of the subsequent Life-and-Death Battles did I ever use the demolition of the Golden Ancient Loulan as a stake?”

“Furthermore, we took so many treasures from your Golden Ancient Loulan; don't you want to win them back?”

“Elder Jin, catch. This true phoenix feather taken from your Golden Ancient Loulan will be the stake for this Life-and-Death Battle.”

Lin Ran's expression was indifferent as he tossed the true phoenix feather he had just 'tricked' out of Yu Xin to Elder Jin.

Elder Jin looked at the true phoenix feather in his hand, completely stunned, standing alone in a daze.

What!?

Just this!?

From the moment Ming Chuan, Saintess Yu Luo, and Yu Xin picked out treasures from the Golden Ancient Loulan, they had never thought about winning those treasures back.

What they wanted was only to demolish the fake Golden Ancient Loulan!!

But now, Lin Ran was using the treasures obtained from their Golden Ancient Loulan as stakes for the following Life-and-Death Battles; wasn't this simply mocking them?!

“You... you're playing with us?!”

Elder Jin was beyond furious, his anger almost consuming his reason.

“Playing with you? Elder Jin, stop joking. I don't have the mood to play with you guys,”

Lin Ran said with a chuckle.

“Elder Jin, how about this? You continue to send Pang Huaijian onto the stage to fight a Life-and-Death Battle with us.”

“As for our side, I will be the one going up. What do you think?”

Elder Jin was somewhat surprised to hear this.

One must know that for the sake of fairness in the Life-and-Death Battle, he had declared beforehand that both sides must be in the same major Realm.

But now, Lin Ran was actively requesting to fight Pang Huaijian himself. What kind of scheme was he cooking up?!

Pang Huaijian was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, while Lin Ran was only at the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm.

The difference between their cultivation Realms was not just a small gap!

“Are you sure you want to have a Life-and-Death Battle with Pang Huaijian?”

Elder Jin stared intently at Lin Ran's face, as if trying to see through him.

“Naturally. However, Pang Huaijian is at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm, while I am only at the ninth level of the Divine Bridge Realm.”

“Therefore, this Life-and-Death Battle is inherently unfair.”

“To make this Life-and-Death Battle seem a bit fairer, so...”

Before Lin Ran could finish, he was interrupted by Pang Huaijian, who was filled with killing intent.

“So, you want me to suppress my cultivation to the Divine Bridge Realm before fighting you, is that it?”

“I might as well tell you, I can suppress my cultivation to the Divine Bridge Realm; I'm just afraid you won't dare to fight me!”

However, upon hearing this, Lin Ran extended a finger and slowly shook it.

“Of course not. You don't need to suppress your cultivation. After all, in my eyes, whether you suppress your cultivation or not makes no difference.”

“My only requirement is that after I kill you, I get to go into your Golden Ancient Loulan and pick out two treasures!”

A wild and arrogant smile curled on Lin Ran's lips, and his words were exceptionally overbearing.

Regardless of whether Pang Huaijian suppressed his cultivation, it made no difference in his eyes!

How arrogant was this?!

One had to know that Pang Huaijian was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Palace Realm and could toy with Little Prince Chen Lian like a cat with a mouse.

Yet Lin Ran didn't take him seriously at all, which undoubtedly infuriated Pang Huaijian completely!

“Hmph! As long as you can defeat Pang Huaijian, what's wrong with agreeing to your request?”

Elder Jin snorted coldly.

“You're looking for death!!”

Pang Huaijian was thoroughly enraged. He thrust out a palm, and endless yellow mud surrounded Lin Ran from all directions, intending to imprison him completely.

Lin Ran's expression was indifferent as he slowly uttered two words.

“Useless move!”

He clenched his right hand into a fist, activating the ninety-first level of the fifth heaven of the Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon, as well as four Physical Destiny Runes.

A terrifying, mighty force whistled out, like a furious dragon sweeping away clouds, blasting the endless yellow mud into dust!

“Swish!”

Lin Ran transformed into a dragon-shaped afterimage. By the time everyone saw him again, he had already appeared behind Pang Huaijian.

“Ascending Heaven Divine Finger!”

Lin Ran struck with a finger. Behind him, a phantom of a Heavenly God rose from the ground and similarly extended a finger, crushing toward Pang Huaijian with supreme might.

Pang Huaijian's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Lin Ran's speed to be so fast; he couldn't even react before Lin Ran was already behind him!

However, he didn't show any fear. He turned and threw a punch, a desolate and ancient aura wrapping around his fist, appearing very powerful.

“It's an Elementary Immortal Physique—the Barbarian God Heavenly Battle Body!”

General Tiance said with some surprise.

“It is indeed that Physique. What Pang Huaijian is using should be the first Origin Divine Ability of the Barbarian God Heavenly Battle Body—Eight Desolations Intent!”

Chen Mu took over the conversation and said.

As an Elementary Immortal Physique, the Barbarian God Heavenly Battle Body was very powerful, far beyond what the likes of Yan Zhen, Yan Qing, or Qing Mixian could compare to!

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Ran's finger and Pang Huaijian's fist collided. It was a clash between a top-tier divine art and an Origin Divine Ability, but the result was shocking!

Pang Huaijian's body flew backward, lacking any power to resist. His Origin Divine Ability was actually torn to shreds before Lin Ran's top-tier divine art!!
