Chapter 333: So What If We're Enemies?
The group arrived with aggressive intent, their turbulent auras plainly visible. Lin Fan only needed one glance to assess their strength.
The man leading them—wielding a blood-red trident—was at the Great Mastery Life Xuan Stage. Behind him, over a dozen others had reached Minor Mastery Life Xuan, and the rest were all above the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage.
Such a formation of one hundred elites was quite formidable—no wonder they acted so arrogantly.
However, to Lin Fan, their strength wasn't worth mentioning.
So, he wasn't about to humor them.
Lin Fan casually dug at his ear and said flatly, "Are you… talking to us?"
"You brat! How dare you speak to Commander Xia like that—are you looking to die?!"
Beside the trident-wielding leader, a sharp-faced man snapped coldly.
PA!
Before he could finish, a crisp slap echoed through the air.
THUD!
That man flew like a dead dog, landing hard in the sea below.
"If anyone's looking to die, it's you," Lin Fan's emotionless voice rang out, sending chills down everyone's spines.
Swish!
Seeing this, the trident-wielding commander and his men turned grim. They instantly adopted a battle stance, staring warily at Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
The commander—known as Commander Xia—locked eyes with Lin Fan and said coldly, "You attacked a member of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe without warning. Isn't that a bit much?"
Lin Fan sneered, "We were just passing through. You blocked our way, told us to detour, and even demanded we 'scram.' And we're the ones being excessive? The Blood Demon Shark Tribe sure knows how to throw its weight around."
"You damn brat, you're dead!"
The sharp-faced man who had been slapped resurfaced, his face swollen and bleeding, completely drenched and furious.
With a roar, he pulled out a blood-red trident and lunged at Lin Fan's chest.
"You want to die? I'll help you."
A cold gleam flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. With a swift motion, his right hand thrust forward, unleashing a surge of Yuan Power that formed into a massive handprint.
BOOM!
The energy hand grew to hundreds of meters in size and grabbed the attacker mid-air.
No matter how the man struggled, it was useless.
Lin Fan clenched his fist.
BOOM!
The man was crushed on the spot—his body reduced to a bloody mist!
A bolt of lightning then descended from the sky, disintegrating his soul into nothingness!
It had all happened so fast that even Commander Xia and the others hadn't reacted in time.
By the time they realized what had happened, their companion was completely gone—body and soul.
Hiss…
The Blood Demon Shark Tribe's warriors gasped in shock, their eyes full of fear as they stared at Lin Fan.
Even Commander Xia's expression changed drastically, heart pounding.
He took a deep breath and waved his hand, causing his warriors to spread out in a fan formation, surrounding Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
Then, he looked at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes and said coldly, "Just who are you? Are you declaring war on the Blood Demon Shark Tribe? You may be at Perfect Life Xuan Stage, but that's still not enough to challenge us!"
He had sensed Lin Fan's cultivation level during the earlier clash and confirmed it.
But with his own Pure Yuan Artifact and nearly a hundred subordinates, he wasn't afraid—just wary.
After all, Sea Demons, like other beasts, often had the strength to fight above their realm when facing humans.
"That guy tried to kill me. I simply defended myself." Lin Fan's tone remained calm. Then his smile faded, replaced by cold resolve.
"But if that counts as making an enemy of the Blood Demon Shark Tribe…"
"Then so be it."
On the glittering sea, Commander Xia's expression darkened as he glared at the man standing midair opposite him.
He seemed to want to hold back… but in the end, he couldn't.
A savage glint crept into his eyes. His killing intent intensified.
"You dare speak such words? Then you'll die here today!"
Commander Xia's voice grew colder. "Attack!"
At his command, nearly a hundred warriors surged forward, their fierce attacks pouring down like a torrential storm aimed at Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
Lin Dong's expression changed. He tensed up, ready to activate his Azure Dragon Wings to evade.
"Don't worry."
Lin Fan's voice remained calm.
He quickly formed seals, and Yuan Power howled from his body.
In an instant, a crimson barrier appeared around him, burning with three-colored flames. It looked like a blend between a bell and a cauldron, with a Vermillion Bird circling it.
"Vermillion Bird Flame Barrier!"
With a thought, the barrier expanded to include Lin Dong as well.
SHHH!
As the hundred attacks slammed into the barrier, they were instantly dissolved by the searing flames.
"What?!"
"How is this possible?!"
"Damn it—what the hell kind of technique is that?!"
The Blood Demon Shark warriors panicked, shocked by the strength of the defense.
Even Commander Xia's face turned grave.
"Now it's my turn."
Lin Fan sneered. His Yuan Power exploded, and two massive crimson wings burst from his back, each dozens of meters wide, blazing with three types of fire.
WHOOSH!
A searing wind swept the battlefield, turning the sky into a vortex of Yuan Power.
In a blink, Lin Fan vanished—reappearing in the middle of the Blood Demon Shark formation!
"Be careful!"
Commander Xia cried out, but…
It was too late.
