172: Want the ancient secret key? Take action! 【Seeking follow-up reading】

“Bang!”

Many gazes lingered on the bronze doors. After a moment, someone finally couldn't hold back.

He took a step forward, then, with surging, violent Qi, unleashed a fierce Martial Art technique, punching a bronze door.

A deep sound echoed across the square, and ripples spread out, directly shaking away the dust that had accumulated on the square for countless years.

Pfft!

However, after the ripples spread, the person who attacked instantly turned pale, then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His figure was sent flying backward under the astonished gazes, eventually shooting out of the square and being propelled back into the distorted space. He was then cut in half by a spreading spatial rift, and a pained scream immediately resounded across this heaven and earth.

This scene instantly calmed everyone in the square.

Those who had been preparing to blast open the bronze doors couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, their eyes filled with dread as they looked at the bronze doors.

Looking at the four tightly closed bronze doors, everyone in the square had fluctuating expressions.

“What’s going on? Can’t these bronze doors be opened?”

“We worked so hard to get here, are we going to come for nothing?”

“I don’t believe these bronze doors can’t be opened. There must be a way to open them; we just haven’t discovered it yet.”

“When the Ancient Secret Treasure was opened, it required four ancient keys. And there just happen to be four bronze doors. Do you think the ancient keys might be related to opening the bronze doors?”

“…”

Anyone young enough to Cultivate to the Nirvana Realm was naturally no fool.

Everyone in the square quickly shifted their gaze towards Lin Fan.

Now almost everyone knew that Lin Fan had snatched the ancient keys from the Demon Rock Dynasty, the Desolate Dynasty, and the Nether Spring Dynasty.

Adding the one he already possessed, all four ancient keys had fallen into Lin Fan’s hands!

However, recalling Lin Fan’s terrifying achievements in the Ancient Secret Treasure, no one dared to step forward to demand the ancient keys from Lin Fan for a while.

As the saying goes, profit moves the heart.

Under the temptation of the Four Xuan Sect Legacy, after some time, someone finally couldn't resist stepping forward.

The first to step out were Breaker Mountain Axe Jiang Shan and Beast Fist Mu Shou, two of the four overlords of the Northwest Region.

“Lin Fan, you alone possessing four ancient keys is a bit too greedy,” Breaker Mountain Axe Jiang Shan said to Lin Fan, holding his large axe.

Mu Shou also stood silently beside Jiang Shan, subtly exuding a sense of pressure.

Everyone in the square watched this scene, their expressions fluctuating, wanting to see how Lin Fan would respond.

Liu Bai, Yan Sen, and others also quietly watched the movements of both sides, not rushing to intervene.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, “So, what do you want?”

“Lin Fan, you have four ancient keys in your hand. Just give me one, and I won’t make things difficult for you,” Mu Shou, in his beast-skin robe, stared at Lin Fan with eyes as sharp as a wild beast’s, suddenly saying after a long pause.

Jiang Shan followed, “Me too, I only need one ancient key.”

“You’re thinking too much. I snatched the ancient keys with my own ability, why should I give them to you?”

Mu Shou and Jiang Shan’s expressions both darkened slightly upon hearing this.

“Brother Jiang Shan, since this brat doesn’t know what’s good for him, we don’t need to be polite with him. Let’s attack together!”

Mu Shou’s eyes flickered for a moment, a ferocious look flashing across his face, as he said to Jiang Shan.

Lin Fan’s reputation in the Ancient Secret Treasure was undeniably resounding, especially with the rumor that Tyrant Wolf Tian Zhen had also died by Lin Fan’s hand.

Although Mu Shou had some doubts, he didn’t want to take risks alone, so he prepared to team up with Jiang Shan. In Mu Shou’s opinion, even if Lin Fan truly had the strength to kill Tian Zhen, he and Jiang Shan together might not be without a chance to fight.

“Lin Fan, there’s a limit to greed, otherwise, you’ll end up with nothing!”

Jiang Shan held his large axe, his gaze cold as he stared at Lin Fan, his voice deep.

Lin Fan’s expression was calm as he said faintly, “Attack!”

“Since that’s the case… then we can only defeat you and take the ancient keys ourselves!”

With that, Jiang Shan’s Qi vibrated within him, and the blade of his large axe trembled, a fierce and domineering gust of wind carving a deep mark on the ground.

“Boom!”

Just as that fierce and domineering aura swept out from Jiang Shan, Mu Shou also took a sudden step forward, a surging aura permeating the air, pressing towards Lin Fan like an overwhelming tide!

Jiang Shan and Mu Shou, both among the four overlords of the Northwest Region, were strong individuals capable of attempting the third Nirvana Tribulation.

Looking across the Northwest Region, they were undoubtedly at the peak level.

Now, with both of them attacking simultaneously, the oppressive force caused many people in the field to change their expressions dramatically, hastily retreating.

Even Demon Spear Liu Bai and King of Hell’s Hand Yan Sen watched the strength they displayed with solemn expressions.

“Breaker Mountain Axe Blade!”

“Furious Lion Fist!”

Jiang Shan and Mu Shou shouted at the same time, unleashing powerful Martial Art techniques from the start.

A giant invisible axe, carrying terrifying Qi fluctuations, fiercely chopped down towards Lin Fan’s head!

At the same time, a majestic furious lion suddenly appeared in mid-air, opening its mouth wide and roaring as it charged towards Lin Fan’s chest.

Lin Dong and Xiao Yan behind Lin Fan looked at the fierce attacks, their expressions becoming slightly solemn. They stepped forward, intending to help Lin Fan.

“No need,” Lin Fan shook his head slightly, signaling for them to retreat, while simultaneously, the Qi within him surged out frantically.

Immediately, he suddenly reached his palm forward, and a terrifying, pitch-black giant hand abruptly appeared in the sky!

Within a radius of several thousand feet, light was instantly lost, leaving only endless darkness!

A single hand covered the sky, and the universe lost its color!

The sky-covering giant hand waved, directly stirring up a terrifying Qi storm, and the entire island seemed to tremble along with it!

Before the sky-covering giant hand even landed, terrifying cracks appeared on the island, spreading in all directions!

The sky-covering giant hand rapidly pressed downwards, as if the entire firmament was pressing down with it!

That terrifying aura made everyone below feel so suffocated they couldn’t breathe!

Everyone in the square now had greatly changed expressions, retreating backward, only wishing to be as far away from Lin Fan as possible!

Even strong individuals like Demon Spear Liu Bai and King of Hell’s Hand Yan Sen were no exception.

“So strong! This aura! It’s definitely more than two-yuan Nirvana; I’m afraid even three-yuan Nirvana isn’t his limit!”

Liu Bai’s eyes widened, his heart filled with incomparable shock, as he couldn’t help but say to Mu Hongling and others beside him.

Mu Hongling and the others had no objection to Liu Bai’s words.

Only then did they truly feel Lin Fan’s power!

And at this moment, Breaker Mountain Axe Jiang Shan and Beast Fist Mu Shou couldn’t help but show fear in their eyes!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Two explosive sounds rang out; the giant invisible axe and the roaring furious lion were instantly shattered by the sky-covering giant hand!

In the blink of an eye, the sky-covering giant hand was before Jiang Shan and Mu Shou.

The two fiercely activated their Qi, desperately trying to escape, but found that they had been firmly locked down by the sky-covering giant hand!

“I surren…”

“Bang!”

Before he could finish a sentence, Jiang Shan and Mu Shou were directly smashed apart by the sky-covering giant hand!
