43: If she was really in danger, he would definitely rush the fastest and be the one in front.

Xiao Fan glanced at his comprehensively enhanced Sixth Sense.

Among its features was a characteristic: it could convert force into elemental energy, thereby amplifying the elemental energy to a certain extent!

Xiao Fan hadn't actually tested how much it could amplify.

He looked up and scanned his surroundings, pouting. He really wanted an enemy to appear quickly so he could practice!

At this moment, Lin Xianhuo had already stepped into the fourth-tier Tempering Pool.

In the pool where the flying sand fire danced wildly, a three-meter-tall humanoid flying sand fire suddenly leaped out, appearing abruptly in front of Lin Xianhuo, and slapped her on the forehead!

Everything happened so suddenly that Li Kai exclaimed in alarm, "Young Miss, please be careful!"

The three members of the Fourteenth Squad felt their hearts leap into their throats. If Miss Lin of the Lin family were injured in front of them, it would be troublesome!

But the next scene utterly shocked Li Kai and the others.

The sudden attack from the companion beast did not cause Lin Xianhuo to panic. She unhesitatingly unleashed the first form of the Fire God Blade's Chaotic Heaven Slash: Drawing Blade Slash!

Her fiery red long hair fluttered, Lin Xianhuo was heroic and valiant, her expression stern.

The Fire God Blade, which had grown to nine meters, cut through with a brilliant light, splitting the companion beast's Physical Body into two. The next second, it dissipated into flying sand fire.

Li Kai and the others were dumbfounded.

Her reaction speed and on-the-spot adaptability were too strong, weren't they?

From beginning to end, Miss Lin's face showed no trace of panic, as if everything was under her control.

That blade light was too decisive, too direct, too domineering!

At this moment, they actually felt an aura of authority from a superior on this woman.

"Truly... strong..." Li Kai couldn't help but exclaim.

The companion beast they were helpless against was instantly killed with a single slash!

A hint of pride appeared on Lin Xianhuo's face. She turned to Xiao Fan and raised an eyebrow, as if saying, "Isn't this old lady awesome? Hurry and praise me?"

But at this moment, Li Kai and the others turned pale with fright, because the companion beast wasn't dead at all; it had merely dispersed into flying sand fire and was now fusing back together. And while Miss Lin was turning her head, it launched an attack!

They wanted to go help, but it was already too late.

"Whoosh!" The companion beast's flying sand fire instantly engulfed Lin Xianhuo's Physical Body.

Li Kai rushed forward anxiously, shouting, "Save her!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Fan, only to see that freeloading man leaning leisurely against a stone, showing no signs of moving at all!

"What a good-for-nothing!" Li Kai cursed inwardly, unable to understand what Miss Lin saw in this guy!

But as Li Kai rushed to the side of the Tempering Pool, a fiery red blade light suddenly shot into the sky.

"Heavenly Fire Half-Moon Slash!"

The companion beast was once again annihilated. Standing in the Tempering Pool, Lin Xianhuo's red hair was a mess, making her look somewhat disheveled, but she sternly told the three who had rushed over, "You don't need to help me!"

"Go back!"

"This old lady will kill it herself!"

She was furious at this moment, wishing she could swallow that companion beast whole!

She had finally managed to put on a show and wanted to show off in front of Fan Fan, but she ended up getting slapped in the face instead!

Damn it!!

She abruptly rushed into the Tempering Pool, chasing after the companion beast!

Seeing this, Li Kai breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately turned and glared at Xiao Fan, saying, "Why didn't you rush up to help Miss Lin?"

"Aren't you her boyfriend!?"

Xiao Fan frowned and said, "I am her man, but why should I help?"

"Immortal Fire possesses Divine-Grade flame talent. How could she possibly lose to an enemy of this caliber?"

"You!" Li Kai's face was filled with disbelief as he said, "I can't believe you can make 'standing by and watching someone die' sound so noble and refined?"

"Do you really think my actions are 'standing by and watching someone die'?" Xiao Fan asked indifferently in return.

Li Kai laughed in extreme anger, saying, "Otherwise? I think you're just scared! Afraid to go forward, so you make excuses for yourself!"

Xiao Fan sneered, "So that's how your minds work."

"No wonder you're so weak."

Li Kai was furious, saying, "Stop barking, if you have the guts, come fight me now!"

"You, a mere Martial Artist Ninth Layer who only reached that level by consuming Ultimate Source Fluid, and I, a Little Grandmaster, you say I'm weak?"

"What are you even?"

"Do you really think being a kept man is a skill!?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Fan's anger flared. He was no longer the obscure person who needed to hide his strength. What kind of thing dared to curse him?

Thinking this, Xiao Fan's figure suddenly vanished, moving so fast that only an afterimage remained!

Li Kai's body trembled, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively felt a little flustered.

But the next second.

A whip kick directly struck him on the forehead.

"Boom!"

The other two members of the squad's pupils dilated in shock.

Li Kai was sent flying like a cannonball, directly crashing into a nearby boulder, which exploded, sending dust everywhere!

Li Kai was a Little Grandmaster!

And that Xiao Fan was only a Martial Artist Ninth Layer!

And then?

One second!

One move!

Killed in an instant!?

How could this be?

The two looked at Xiao Fan, dumbfounded, feeling inexplicably fearful.

After coldly twisting his neck, Xiao Fan returned to his original position, quietly watching the battle in the Tempering Pool.

On the boulder, Li Kai struggled to stand up, feeling his entire head throbbing, dizzy and disoriented. He had just stood up when he fell again.

That kick had directly struck his temple, causing his central nervous system to shut down.

After a while, Li Kai finally regained consciousness and hoarsely murmured, "You dare to make a move?"

"We are both of the Human Race. You dare to kill each other? Do you know what crime this is?"

Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes, and Killing Intent rose: "If it weren't for you helping Immortal Fire find the Tempering Pool, I would have your head rolling on the ground right now."

"You!" Li Kai instinctively wanted to shout, 'Come on, if you have the guts, come kill me, if you don't, you're a wimp!'

But after feeling Xiao Fan's Killing Intent, he was terrified and chickened out.

It was too dense. Had this guy walked out of a pile of dead bodies?

He swallowed, couldn't help but retreat three steps, and only exhaled in relief when Xiao Fan turned his head, his legs weakening, almost losing his balance.

The other two teammates quickly walked over and whispered, "Don't provoke him anymore."

"The higher-ups assigned them as a pair, it must be because that man is very strong and can protect Miss Lin well."

Li Kai was indignant, saying, "I just don't understand what he's thinking."

"He actually makes 'standing by and watching someone die' sound so righteous!"

"Don't you think this is disgusting?"

One person sighed and said, "I think... Captain, if you calm down and think about it, this might not be wrong."

"If you always let others help, how will you become stronger?"

"He's right, Miss Lin possesses Divine-Grade talent, how could she possibly be harmed by this level of flame?"

Li Kai snorted coldly and stopped arguing, but at this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at the high sky to the side.

The other two team members also looked over in unison, their expressions slightly changing. They saw two small black dots rapidly flying towards them!

"It's the aura of an alien race, bad! If the coordinates are exposed, we're finished, Miss Lin will be besieged!" Li Kai was anxious and was about to go forward.

But suddenly, an explosion sounded beside him!

"Boom!"

He turned his head in a hurry, only to find Xiao Fan had disappeared, leaving behind a crater formed by immense recoil!

Looking up again, he saw him transform into a streak of light, directly crashing into those two small black dots.

Li Kai's scalp tingled, his eyes filled with shock.

A teammate beside him sighed, "It seems, Captain, you misunderstood."

"If Miss Lin truly encountered a life-threatening danger, he would be the fastest one to rush forward..."
