241: A slap and he flies away! [Seeking follow-up reading]
Watching Huo Zhen's furious attack, Lin Fan's expression remained calm. Between the movements of his hands, a strange seal was formed.
"Stasis!"
Lin Fan's mouth slightly opened and closed, and faintly, a subtle sound seemed to emanate.
Instantly, Huo Zhen's violently thrown punch suddenly froze.
Even the Yuan Qi surging around him quietly stiffened at this moment.
It was as if Huo Zhen had been embedded in the seam between time and space.
The eerie scene lasted only for a brief moment, but that was already enough.
This was Lin Fan quietly using a trace of the Stasis God Tablet's ability.
Lin Fan only mobilized a tiny bit, and only for a short breath. Even with the Realm of Chen Zhen and others, it was difficult to detect anything.
"Slap!"
A crisp slapping sound suddenly echoed in the arena.
"Thud!"
Immediately after, Huo Zhen's body, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward abruptly, crashing heavily into the group of Hongya Cave Disciples.
Boom!
The terrifying punch wind he unleashed and the violent Yuan Qi on his body only erupted at this moment, and those Hongya Cave Disciples were unlucky enough to be caught in it.
On his cheek, a clear slap mark could still be seen!
"It's been a while since I've slapped someone like this, I'm a bit out of practice," Lin Fan whispered softly, looking in Huo Zhen's direction, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
"Whoosh!"
The surrounding crowd, seeing this scene, immediately burst into an uproar.
"Senior Brother Lin Fan is too strong!"
"He slapped Huo Zhen flying with one slap, how satisfying!"
"It seems Senior Brother Lin Fan's strength has grown again!"
"Hehe, that guy from Hongya Cave was so arrogant just now, he can't be arrogant anymore, can he?"
"..."
"Well done!" Ying Huanhuan, seeing Lin Fan slap Huo Zhen flying, clapped her hands happily.
She was also extremely displeased with Huo Zhen, and seeing Huo Zhen get slapped flying by Lin Fan, she felt a sense of relief.
In contrast to the jubilant Dao Sect disciples, the expressions on Hongya Cave's side were all very grim.
Huo Zhen was recognized as the strongest among Hongya Cave's younger generation. The Hongya Cave Disciples were full of confidence in him, but they didn't expect him to be unable to withstand even one move from Lin Fan. This was too demoralizing, wasn't it?
Many Hongya Cave Disciples looked at Huo Zhen with a somewhat inexplicable change in their eyes.
At this moment, Huo Zhen's face was even more ashen. As the number one of Hongya Cave's younger generation, he had always been a respected existence. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
In fact, Lin Fan had held back. After all, this was just a sparring match, not a life-and-death confrontation.
Otherwise, Lin Fan's slap just now could have splattered Huo Zhen's brains!
"You deserve to die!"
Huo Zhen, however, did not know this. He suddenly stood up, his eyes fiercely fixed on Lin Fan, his tone sinister.
"Boom!"
As his voice fell, Huo Zhen took another step forward, fully displaying his peak Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm strength at this moment.
Waves of majestic Yuan Qi, like surging tides, continuously swept out from within him!
His hands suddenly transformed into a strange seal. In the next instant, towering radiance swept out from within him, finally transforming into a mountain about a hundred zhang large in mid-air.
On the mountain, some caves seemed to form a peculiar Formation, permeating with a mysterious Aura.
As this mountain appeared, the Yuan Qi in this world violently fluctuated.
The faces of those Hongya Cave Disciples were filled with a fervent expression.
In contrast, the expressions of the Dao Sect disciples appeared much more solemn.
Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but remind him, "Lin Fan, this is Hongya Cave's most powerful Martial Art, the Hongya Cave Sutra. Don't be careless."
"Too late!"
A sneer flashed in Huo Zhen's eyes. Then, he flipped his palm, and the massive Immortal Cave mountain, imbued with earth-shattering power, transformed into a shadow that enveloped Lin Fan. "It seems I was still too lenient," Lin Fan shook his head slightly, his hands once again forming a strange seal.
Immediately, the familiar scene reappeared.
Lin Fan's figure flashed, instantly arriving beside Huo Zhen, and slapped the other side of his face.
Huo Zhen, the entire person, seemed to have transformed into a statue, motionless, allowing the slap to land.
"Slap!"
Another crisp slapping sound rang out. Huo Zhen, who had just regained consciousness, was once again slapped flying, falling heavily.
This time, after Huo Zhen landed, he immediately fell unconscious on the spot.
At the same time, Lin Fan's left hand suddenly shot out, violent Yuan Qi surged, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a massive Yuan Qi hand several hundred zhang large, which fiercely grabbed the Immortal Cave mountain.
"Explode!"
Lin Fan softly uttered a syllable. With a grip of his large hand, the Immortal Cave mountain was instantly crushed and exploded!
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of terrifying explosions rang out in the arena, deafening!
Frightening energy fluctuations roared as they spread out, as if even space itself showed some distortion.
"Pfft!"
As the mountain exploded, Huo Zhen, lying unconscious on the ground, was immediately implicated, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
Stimulated by this, Huo Zhen also slowly woke up. In his eyes, besides hatred, there was also a hint of fear towards Lin Fan.
"Symmetrical on both sides, it looks much more pleasing to the eye," Lin Fan said with a smile, seeing Huo Zhen wake up, teasing him.
Pfft!
Ying Huanhuan, hearing Lin Fan's words and then looking at the slap marks on both sides of Huo Zhen's face, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mo Ling and the other Dao Sect disciples also had strange expressions.
"Pfft!"
Huo Zhen, hearing Lin Fan's words, was overcome with anger and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Still fighting?" Lin Fan looked down at Huo Zhen from above, his voice calm.
"I..." Huo Zhen's eyes were full of unwillingness. He staggered to his feet, wanting to attack again.
"That's enough. You are not his opponent," At this moment, a grey-robed old man from Hongya Cave finally couldn't watch any longer and spoke to stop Huo Zhen.
Huo Zhen also knew at this time that he was not Lin Fan's opponent. Hearing the old man's words, he clenched his fists and retreated.
"Dao Sect is indeed one of the Eight Super Sects. In this sparring match, our Hongya Cave admits defeat. If there is an opportunity next year, we will certainly come to pay our respects again."
Having lost the sparring match, the grey-robed old man was clearly in a rather bad mood. He merely cupped his hands to Chen Zhen and said a perfunctory remark, then left dejectedly with the Hongya Cave Disciples.
Their appearance was completely different from their arrogance when they arrived.
Lin Fan looked at the dejected Hongya Cave group leaving, but he didn't take it to heart.
With his current strength, combined with his many trump cards, even the Vice Hall Master of the Enlightenment Hall was no match for him. Even if he were to fight with Hall Master Chen Zhen, the outcome would be uncertain.
Defeating an Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm cultivator was completely insignificant to him.
Unlike Lin Fan's calmness, the surrounding Dao Sect disciples, watching the Hongya Cave contingent leave, burst into waves of fervent cheers.
"Well done. These guys from Hongya Cave always try to take advantage. This time, it's a lesson for them. If you hadn't intervened, they might have succeeded today."
Chen Zhen walked over at this moment, patted Lin Fan's shoulder, and said.
"Minor tricks are of little use," Lin Fan shook his head, saying casually.
"That's true, but if it gets out, it won't be good for our Dao Sect's reputation," Chen Zhen nodded, his gaze sweeping over Lin Fan, then he said with a smile,
"The Hall Examination is coming soon. This time, our Desolate Hall is entirely relying on you."
"Don't worry, I've reserved first place," Lin Fan smiled indifferently, confidently.
"Haha, you rascal!" Chen Zhen burst out laughing upon hearing Lin Fan's words. After exchanging a few more words with Lin Fan, he and Wu Dao left together.
"Hey, thanks!"
After Chen Zhen and Wu Dao left, a slender jade hand from the crowd patted Lin Fan's shoulder.
