180: You don't deserve to be a beast of burden.

As the words fell, he moved.

"The first one."

Lin Fan's figure flashed, appearing in front of the Red-Skirts Woman.

"Old lady, your Charm Technique... even my grandma's square dancing is more graceful than your twisting."

A punch blasted out!

Chaos Punch... Return to Origin!

Bang!!!

The Protective Aura surrounding the Red-Skirts Woman shattered instantly. Her chest collapsed, and she was sent flying back, smashing through three buildings. Her life or death was unknown.

[Ding! Defeated Peak Martial Emperor Red-Skirts Woman, prestige value +10,000!]

"The second one."

Lin Fan turned and looked at the Bald Strong Man.

"Big guy, your axe technique... even Old Man Wang, who sells pork at my doorstep, is more agile than you."

Another punch!

The Bald Strong Man blocked with his twin axes, but the moment the axes touched the punch imprint, they shattered inch by inch!

The punch imprint's momentum didn't decrease, slamming into his chest!

Crack!!!

His breastbone was completely shattered!

The Bald Strong Man flew back like a broken sack, crashing into a deep pit, motionless.

[Ding! Defeated Peak Martial Emperor Bald Strong Man, prestige value +10,000!]

"The third one."

Lin Fan looked at the Stooped Figure in Gray Robes.

"A curser? What a coincidence. I have a friend who specializes in treating feudal superstitions... Although he's not here right now, I can educate you on his behalf."

He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a strand of Chaos Sword Qi slashed out!

The figure in gray robes hastily activated a Black Codex, and countless curse runes transformed into a barrier!

However.

The Chaos Sword Qi slashed onto the barrier like a hot knife through butter, breaking through instantly!

The Sword Qi slashed across the body of the figure in gray robes.

Pfft!

The gray robe split open, revealing a face as pale as a ghost inside.

That person's eyes widened as he looked down at his chest... a bloodline slowly emerged.

Then, his body split into two halves.

[Ding! Killed Peak Martial Emperor Gray-robed Cursemaster, prestige value +15,000!]

"The fourth one."

Lin Fan finally looked at the One-eyed Old Man.

At this moment, the One-eyed Old Man was already terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Four Peak Martial Emperors—in the blink of an eye, three were dead and one was heavily injured!

What the hell kind of monster is this?!

"Lin... Lin Fan! You can't kill me!" The One-eyed Old Man retreated repeatedly. "I am from the Dark Hall! If you kill me, the Dark Hall will not let you go!"

"Dark Hall?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "Never heard of it."

"The Dark Hall is one of the three major underground forces in the Holy City! There is a Martial Venerable backing it!" the One-eyed Old Man hissed. "If you kill me, you will be making an enemy of the Dark Hall!"

"Martial Venerable?" Lin Fan smiled. "I'm so scared."

He took a step forward and arrived in front of the One-eyed Old Man:

"However..."

"I have a problem!"

"The more I'm afraid, the more I want to try."

Lin Fan raised his hand, and a Chaos Palm Print condensed:

"So..."

"Safe travels on your final journey."

"Remember in your next life!"

The palm print fell.

"Don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke."

"Oh, sorry, you probably won't have a next life..."

Bang!!!

The One-eyed Old Man, along with his Skeleton Staff, exploded into a mist of blood.

[Ding! Killed Peak Martial Emperor One-eyed Old Man, prestige value +15,000!]

[Current prestige value: 358,000 points!]

prestige value: three hundred fifty-eight thousand!

Only one hundred forty-two thousand away from five hundred thousand!

The battle ended.

The Chaos Domain slowly dissipated.

The street was a mess; of the four Peak Martial Emperors, three were dead and one was unconscious.

Lin Fan stood in the middle of the ruins, brushing off non-existent dust from the corner of his clothes, as if he had just casually swatted a few flies.

The surrounding area was already crowded with people.

Everyone watched this scene in stunned silence.

Four Peak Martial Emperors... just gone like that?

Unilaterally crushed... by a Peak Martial King?!

"My God... just how strong is Lin Fan?!"

"In front of him, Peak Martial Emperors are like they're made of paper..."

"Chaos Law... it's too terrifying!"

"The Dark Hall really kicked a steel plate this time!"

Amidst the discussions, Lin Fan looked at Jin Gang: "Drag that one who's still alive over here."

"Yes!" Jin Gang immediately rushed over and dragged the unconscious Red-Skirts Woman over.

Lin Fan raised his hand and sent a strand of Chaos aura into her body.

The Red-Skirts Woman woke up slowly. Seeing Lin Fan, she was immediately terrified to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering: "Don't... don't kill me! I'll tell you everything!"

"Why is the Dark Hall targeting me?" Lin Fan asked.

"It... it was ordered by someone inside the Enforcers!" the Red-Skirts Woman said hurriedly. "Our Dark Hall has a partnership with Fifth Sir! Fifth Sir doesn't want you to successfully become a Reserve, so he had us come to give you a warning..."

"Fifth Sir?" Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

Inside the Enforcers, there really were factional struggles.

Seventh Master recruited him, so Fifth Sir wanted to eliminate him.

"Who is Fifth Sir?" Lin Fan asked again.

"I... I don't know! Fifth Sir is very mysterious; only the Hall Master has seen his true face!" the Red-Skirts Woman cried. "That's all I know! Please let me go, I'm willing to work like an ox or horse..."

Lin Fan glanced at her and raised his hand.

Pfft.

A strand of Chaos Finger Force pierced through her brow.

The Red-Skirts Woman's eyes widened, and her breath was cut off.

"Work like an ox or horse?" Lin Fan shook his head. "You aren't worthy."

He turned, looked at the surrounding crowd, and said loudly:

"If anyone wants to take her home while she's still warm, go ahead. And while you're at it, tell the Dark Hall and that Fifth Sir something for me!"

"If you want to deal with me, fine."

"But next time, remember to send someone decent."

"Trash like this..."

Lin Fan paused and said very seriously:

"Isn't even enough for me to warm up."

As his words fell, he led Qin Yue and the other two back to the base.

The gates closed.

Leaving behind only a mess on the ground and countless gazes of awe and fear.

[Ding! Killed four people, made a domineering declaration, and intimidated the Dark Hall, prestige value +10,000!]

[Current prestige value: 368,000 points!]

Inside the base.

Qin Yue's small face was full of excitement: "Brother Fan! You're too amazing! Four Peak Martial Emperors! Just like that..."

"Peak Martial Emperors?" Lin Fan shook his head. "They were too inflated."

He had felt it during the fight just now; those four's Peak Martial Emperor cultivations were likely forcibly boosted. Their Foundations were unstable, and their Law insights weren't deep enough.

A true Peak Martial Emperor, like Ao Jin, has a combat strength more than ten times greater than a Late Stage Martial Emperor.

And these four combined weren't even enough for Ao Jin to fight.

"But the Dark Hall... Fifth Sir..." Lin Fan's eyes turned slightly cold.

It seemed these three months in the Holy City wouldn't be very peaceful.

"Master, should I go check the Dark Hall's background?" Jin Gang asked.

"No need." Lin Fan waved his hand. "Just jumping clowns. When they come again next time, I'll deal with them all at once."

The most important thing for him now was to improve his strength.

The Chaos Prototype was at 58%, still some distance away from truly mastering the Chaos Law.

"Go and Cultivate." Lin Fan said to the two women. "During these three months, do not leave the base. The waters of the Holy City are deeper than I thought."

"Yes."

After the two women left, Lin Fan returned to the cultivation room.

He took out the second chaos enlightenment pill and swallowed it.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, the Chaos enlightenment state was activated once again.

This time, his insight into the Chaos Law was even deeper.

"Chaos encompasses all Laws... but encompassing them is not enough."

"True Chaos should be able to... evolve all Laws!"

With a thought from Lin Fan, he began to attempt to evolve other Laws within the Chaos Domain.

Fire Law... a ball of fire was born in the Chaos, burned, and then was assimilated by the Chaos.

Water Law... a stream of water flowed within the Chaos and then merged into the Chaos.

Sword Dao Law... a wisp of Sword Intent condensed within the Chaos and then dissipated.

Attempt after attempt, failure after failure.

It was easy for Chaos to encompass all Laws, but to evolve all Laws... was too difficult.
