Chapter 407: How About Buying with Your Lives?
One of the Blood Python City men reached out, summoning a gust of wind aimed at the roasted meat skewered on the rack nearby.
"You don't know who you're messing with."
Lin Fan's gaze chilled. With a casual wave of his hand, a massive yuan power palm shot out.
Boom!
The gust of wind was instantly shattered. The yuan power palm didn't lose its momentum—it slammed straight into the chest of the man who had tried to grab the meat.
Thud!
The man was blasted off his feet, rolling across the ground.
"You little punk, looking to die?!"
The rest of the Blood Python City thugs roared in anger upon seeing this. They charged forward, surrounding Lin Fan and his group.
"Who the hell are you people, daring to strike Blood Python City's men?" The leader of the group raised his hand to halt the others momentarily and questioned Lin Fan coldly.
"Just passing travelers," Lin Fan replied calmly. "But if you're thinking of stealing my food… that's not going to fly."
"Boss, what's the point of talking? Kill them!"
Another man barked out furiously after hearing Lin Fan's words.
"A human brat acting so arrogant in our Demon Domain? You must be tired of living!" the leader sneered. With a wave of his hand, he gave the order. "Kill them!"
Immediately, over a dozen Blood Python City fighters launched an assault on Lin Fan.
They didn't even bother with Lin Dong or Xinqing, seeing no threat in them.
"It's you all who are tired of living," Lin Fan shook his head slightly. He grasped his palm—and the silver Thunder Staff appeared in his hand. With a thought, radiant silver light surged from the staff.
Roar!
With a thunderous bellow, the nine thunder dragons atop the staff seemed to come alive, howling toward the sky.
"Thunder Dragon Heaven-Locking Staff!"
As Lin Fan's voice rang out coldly, blinding lightning burst forth. The nine thunder dragons soared from the staff, transforming into nine colossal thunder rods, each hundreds of feet long.
Boom!
Without hesitation, the nine thunder rods came crashing down upon the Blood Python City group!
As they fell, the rods tore through the air, causing violent spatial explosions that echoed across the plains.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
One after another, nine deafening explosions erupted.
The thunder rods swept through with unstoppable force, utterly crushing the dozen or so Blood Python City men—bones shattered, limbs flew, blood splattered.
"Ahhh!"
A few surviving spirit forms screamed in agony as they tried to flee, trailing golden light.
"Go."
With a flicker of thought, Lin Fan summoned the God-Slaying Flying Dagger from his dantian. It shot out like a lightning bolt, chasing down the escaping spirits.
Shlick…
Sharp whines rang out—and the spirit forms were slain on the spot!
Watching this unfold, Xinqing's eyes widened in awe. "Lord Lin Fan is… so strong!"
After a moment, she suddenly came to her senses and exclaimed, "Lord Lin Fan, you've killed people from Blood Python City! They won't let this go—let's hurry and leave!"
Lin Fan shook his head lightly. "No rush. Do you know why I went so far as to wipe them all out?"
Xinqing blinked, then whispered, "I… don't know…"
"Come on, you'll understand soon enough," Lin Fan smiled and took the lead, flying off in a certain direction.
"Let's go," Lin Dong said to Xinqing, still puzzled, but followed quickly after Lin Fan.
Xinqing didn't hesitate anymore and chased after them, her heart full of curiosity.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a small, run-down city.
Within the city, countless campfires burned—it was a common rest stop for travelers. From afar, they could see more and more groups arriving.
This place was known as Little Wild City, a key resting hub in the wilderness. Many teams who hunted beasts or traveled across the wild plains would stop here to rest and avoid the occasional windstorms or cold mists.
Naturally, where many people gathered, transactions also took place—trading items, supplies, or goods of interest.
But even more common than trade… was conflict. The Demon Domain was already chaotic, and the Beast Battle Region was chaos within chaos. Smiles could turn to drawn blades in a heartbeat.
"Lord Lin Fan, this place is full of raiders and bandits. It's dangerous for us to be here," Xinqing whispered as her expression changed slightly at the sight of the city's activity.
"It's fine. With Lin Dong and me here, you'll be safe," Lin Fan reassured her with a calm smile.
He then made his way directly toward a part of the city flying the Blood Python banner—where a large group from the faction had gathered.
There, Blood Python City's people were boasting loudly to others about their latest spoils.
"Two Nine-Tails girls—what do you think, worth anything?" a burly man chuckled as he tore off a chunk of roasted meat, proudly showing off to the surrounding forces.
His words instantly stirred murmurs from the crowd. Many people's eyes lit up—everyone knew how renowned Nine-Tails girls were in the Beast World. With their natural charm and beauty, they were practically treasures.
Seeing their reactions, the burly man smirked and waved his hand.
Rumbling echoed out as a prison cart was rolled forward.
Inside it, two petite figures huddled together, trembling with fear. Their tear-streaked faces were filled with terror as they stared at the men outside—eyes full of unmasked lust and greed.
Whoosh!
The moment Xinqing saw them, her face turned pale. Worry filled her gaze.
"Don't worry—I'm here to save them," Lin Fan said gently, ruffling her hair.
"Thank you, Lord Lin Fan…" Xinqing whispered, deeply moved.
"Heh, Brother Lei Zhen, how about selling one of them to me?" a skinny man in the crowd licked his lips. "I'll give you a million Xuan Yuan Pills—how about it?"
That price caused an uproar—people were shocked by how much he was willing to offer.
"Wang Hou, these are meant as a gift for our City Lord. You think you can touch them?" Lei Zhen, the burly man, sneered.
Then—
"How about selling those two girls to me?"
A clear, calm voice rang out through the crowd.
Lei Zhen turned toward the speaker, eyes narrowing at Lin Fan. "Sure—what's your offer? Can you pay ten million Xuan Yuan Pills?"
Lin Fan met his gaze and replied coolly, "How about I buy them with your lives?"
