A gust of wind blew and the whole area was covered in dust. 

  Lin Fan stood straight, his two sideburns waving in the wind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. 

  Honglong! 

  A power exploded out within his body, True Essence shot out, covering his entire body and it burned crazily. 

  A really terrifying aura spread around Lin Fan’s body. 

  At such a high level as God Essence Realm, when one who cultivated both internal and external cultivation used all his strength, it was extraordinarily terrifying. 

  Purple Sun Four Saint Scripture. 

  Demon Heart Enforcing Scripture. 

  His two strongest heart cultivation techniques boiled, the Purple True Essence and Black True Essence clashed, producing a shocking change. The True Essence merged with one another and thin lightning flashed about. 

  There was a layer of eye-catching light on the surface of his body. 

  A very majestic and threatening Demon Ape appeared behind his back. This Demon Ape was formed from True Essence, forming into a physical form. Its steel needle-like black hair was very real. 

  Kong! 

  The Demon Ape roared out, forming a really shocking aura. 

  At that moment, Lin Fan activated all of the cultivation techniques that he had learned. 

  Of course, he used the Barbaric Saint Battle Technique, Xuan Xuan True Technique, and Elephant God Power. 

  Lin Fan stepped forward, the ground was unable to take such terrifying strength and directly collapsed. 

  Pili Pala! 

  His body shook within all the True Essence, changing slightly. Occasionally, lightning would strike down from the sky. 

  His consumption was terrifying. Normal God Essence Realm didn’t dare to do so. 

  Even if God Essence Realm Experts could absorb Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth to replenish their own, such absorption rates were far from his consumption speed. 

  The 12 experts of Assassin Organisation seemed to all be mute since they hadn’t said a single word up till now. 

  Did they really not see how explosive his power was? 

  Maybe it was time to teach them a good lesson, for them to understand that they were asking to die. 

  Peng! 

  In an instant, Lin Fan disappeared. Everything seemed to slow down in Lin Fan’s eyes. Those twelve experts didn’t move at all. Just as Lin Fan got closer, they moved. 

  Spiritual Energy all around them crazily surged into their bodies. 

  Of course, they were all God Essence Realm Experts. 

  Lin Fan was initial God Essence Realm, no matter who it was, to fight 12 God Essence Realm experts at the initial stage was just asking to die. One wouldn’t even have a chance of living at all. 

  Lin Fan walked in front of an expert, scary True Essence gathered on his fists as he punched forward. 

  This was one of the most overbearing moves of the Demon Ape Fist. 

  The projection of the Demon Ape Fist roared angrily. It punched out, like it was about to sweep past everything in its path. 

  Peng! 

  The two of them clashed, a shocking aura exploded. 

  Lin Fan looked toward him and hollered. A shocking power exploded out from his fists. The power of someone who cultivated both internal and external strength wasn’t so easily dealt with. 

  With a “honglong”, a person flew backward, directly smashing toward the tree in the distance. The tree broke, he continued to fly, breaking several trees. He then used the momentum to flip, both legs landing on the ground, drawing two long lines to stop his momentum. 

  Pu! 

  The Assassin Organisation expert knelt on the ground on one knee, his palm pressing on the ground and he coughed out a black sticky blood. 

  Peng! 

  Peng! 

  Lin Fan forced one person back but welcomed the combined attacks of the remaining 11. 

  Their moves contained many small bugs that the naked eye couldn’t see. These bugs floated in the sky, able to enter one’s body through their pores. They would even swallow blood and True Essence. 

  Refresh! 

  Directly pushing Bug Controlling Technique to the peak, a terrifying grey internal strength exploded out, and the small bugs who spread in the air were suppressed. They were controlled to counter-attack. However, the 12 from Assassin Organisation weren’t normal people. 

  When these small bugs entered their bodies, a certain power directly sliced off Lin Fan’s connection with them. 

  “Nine Heavens Lightning Drawing Technique – Lightning World.” 

  Lin Fan hollered, the lightning on his body was like a dragon. The lightning swelled up, forming a circular attack. With a loud peng, it spread in all directions. 

  Peng peng! 

  The 12 experts’ bodies slowly broke apart, like they were made of numerous bugs. In Lin Fan’s words, they turned into elements. 

  “Return.” 

  Bug Controlling Technique’s internal strength suppressed them, compressing the bodies that were about to break apart. 

  “Honglong!” 

  The lightning covered the Assassin Organisation experts. A deafening thunderclap could be heard as there was an intense explosion all around, striking and destroying everything. 

  This place had formed into a terrifying region. 

  If anyone entered, as long as their cultivation was too low, even if they weren’t attacked, they would spit out blood from the suppression of this area. 

  Pa ta! 

  Pa ta! 

  The dust dissipated and the 12 of them still stood there. Black colored meat that seemed to be formed from numerous bugs fell to the ground. Beneath their legs there were many bugs, like they were repairing their damaged bodies. 

  “These little monsters, how annoying. I understand why Nine Bug Gang won’t fall.” 

  Lin Fan muttered, he already had an initial understanding. 

  Nine Bug Gang came from Insect Valley, the true experts were really strong in controlling bugs. It was tough for normal people to kill them, so what if one had a huge army, it was the same. 

  They wouldn’t be able to defend against these tiny bugs. 

  The twelve of them were experts from Nine Bug Gang. From that, one could see how strong the Gang Leader was, maybe he also reached a level where he could fight an army alone. 

  Suddenly, Assassin Organisation’s 12 experts smacked their hands on the ground. True Essence spread out, covering the entire area. With a “puchi”, something popped out as the robes on their backs tore apart. 

  Grey scythes spread out from their backs. They were really long, a few feet long. 

  Xiu! 

  The tips of the scythes were really flexible, locking Lin Fan’s path and slashing toward him. 

  When the tip slashed across, as it was too quick, it left a grey glow in the air. 

  Refresh. 

  Mixed Energy Broken Jade Hand full. 

  Lin Fan’s palms changed color, directly clashing against these nimble and quick tips. 

  Peng! 

  Peng! 

  The strikes were too sharp at where Lin Fan stood, such that one couldn’t see his arms. One could only see numerous after images. Sparks flew and circle after circle of ripples spread out. 

  As it was too powerful, it formed into a tornado that covered them all. 

  “They are not weak, they are definitely Peak God Essence Realm.” 

  Lin Fan felt pressure but he wasn’t at a disadvantage yet. If he was fighting him alone, he could have destroyed these bunch. But the key was that they were all peak God Essence Realm, when they fought altogether, their partnerships were flawless. 

  As time went on, he became furious as he fought with these people, not blocking at all, revealing his back and hollering. 

  “Strongest God Body.” 

  The muscles on his back swelled, True Essence covered him. Internal and external cultivation allowed one to use True Essence to buff their bodies. The cultivation technique that strengthened one’s body activated. 

  Xuanwu, God Elephant, Demon Ape, Barbarian Saint projections covered his back. 

  Keng! 

  Honglong! 

  12 scythe tips stabbed toward his back. An unbearable power caused his body to shake. His legs dug deeper into the ground and fresh blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. 

  “Ah!” 

  Lin Fan roared out in rage, he opened his arms and hug these 12 scythes. He then raised his legs that were sinking into the ground, stepping down. His body spun, causing the 12 of them to be pulled up into the air, their legs lifting up from the ground. 

  Shua Shua! 

  His spinning speed became faster and faster, actually turning into a terrifying storm. He then stopped, raising his arms up high and hollering in rage. He tossed them toward the ground. 

  With a “honglong”, the ground exploded, thick dust rose up into the air. 

  “Ten Thousand Sword.” 

  Closely after, numerous True Essence swords floated behind Lin Fan. He pressed down with his palm and the swords swept forward like arrows. 

  There was a large number of explosion sounds. 

  But this wasn’t enough. 

  Lin Fan jumped up, his body was covered in light, like a God Elephant floating in the air. 

  “Elephant God Power – Earth Explosion.” 

  They hollered. 

  He directly landed on the ground. 

  Peng! 

  Although it was a little exaggerated to say that mountains were shaking, the entire ground was shaking. God Body strength and True Essence merged together, forming a terrifying power that suppressed the entire area. 

  The ground couldn’t take such terrifying strength, directly caving in. With a loud explosion, it formed a circular hole that was dozens of meters deep. 

  “Do you think it ends just like that? No, this is only just beginning.” 

  Lin Fan backed off, the strongest move of Lightning Blade Four Strokes slicing forward. He didn’t slice only once, but in the blink of an eye, he slashed out dozens of blades. 

  The terrifying blade intent boiled, the space around twisted. 

  “Honglong!” 

  “Honglong!” 

  The explosion sounds didn’t stop at all. 

  His hands became tired from slashing. So he wanted to change the move. 

  Big Dipper Silence Palm. 

  The sky was covered in lightning, a lightning dragon wrapped around his palms, covering the deep hole. 

  Pili Pala! 

  The lightning formed a large net, a dense amount of lightning power spread about. 

  If a pig was hit by such terrifying strikes, it would become a barbecued pig. 

  “Hu!” Lin Fan retracted his aura, his eyes stared right at the deep whole. If they still weren’t dead, then he would have to reevaluate the overall strength of Nine Bug Gang. 

  At that moment, a layer of grey dust covered the deep hole, and one was unable to see what happened within. 

  The feeling that the 12 experts from Nine Bug Gang gave him was just so weird, so weird that he didn’t believe what was going on. 

  They suffered such heavy strikes and didn’t even cry out? 

  They didn’t even give him any rage points. 

  They didn’t have emotions and desires or they didn’t feel anger at all? 

  Very quickly, the dust settled. 

  A black smoke bellowed from the deep hole. 

  The bodies of the twelve Assassin Organisation experts disappeared, only numerous black colored pierces of meat were moving there 

  It wasn’t right. 

  They weren’t even meat, more of flesh looking things made of numerous bugs. 

  At that moment, the pieces of flesh were merging together. 

  “They really aren’t humans.” Lin Fan frowned. 

  Suddenly, a shocking aura exploded out from the hole. 

  Si si! 

  Like a weird being was roaring out. 

  Kachi! 

  There were sounds of bones cracking. 

  Suddenly, a giant body appeared in the giant hole. The robes had already disappeared, revealing what the thing really looked like. There was indeed flesh and blood but there were many bugs wrapped around it. 

  So disgusting. 

  Just as he was dissing it, a wind swept toward his face. The Bugman appeared in front of Lin Fan and punched. Lin Fan blocked. With a “peng”, he flew backward but his legs landed. When he raised his head, his expression was really solemn. 

  “So strong.”


  Chapter 245: One Doesn’t Have A Soul If They Don’t Have Rage Points

  He was indeed really strong. 

  He wasn’t mocking him but he was really shocked by the other party’s strength. 

  There was originally 12 of them, after he beat the up they merged into one, this change was huge. 

  Also, how did they do it? 

  Even if they weren’t human, it was impossible for them to merge like that. It didn’t make sense, it also had the structure of a human body. 

  It was worth him doing more research into it. 

  “I need to be more serious.” Lin Fan shook his head and casually spat out a mouthful of blood. It was normal for one to spit out blood during an intense battle. 

  On rough estimation, this Bugman was around three meters tall, its body seemed really strong. But what was strong wasn’t the flesh and blood, but the muscles that were made out of long black bugs. 

  “Puchi!” 

  The back of the Bugman exploded, many black arms popped up, and on them were many mouths with sharp teeth. The 12 arms had a shocking visual impact. 

  This had exceeded what a human body should be like. 

  Mutated? 

  What was Nine Bug Gang on about? Playing bugs until they turned themselves into something like that. Also what was Insect Valley like? 

  He didn’t dare to imagine it. 

  Pant! 

  Pant! 

  The Bugman breathed, the air it spat out was black like it was poisonous. The air could make one die from poison. 

  A pair of eyeball-less eyes stared at Lin Fan. 

  It gave him a cold feeling like he was standing in ice. 

  Peng! 

  The Bugman disappeared. The surrounding pressure explosively increased. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Lin Fan and punched out. Several spinning currents appeared on it and there were many cracking sounds. This was it smashing the air. 

  Lin Fan clenched his fingers into a fist, not yielding at all and punching back. 

  Peng! 

  The moment the fists clashed, the shocking aura exploded. Numerous chaotic air currents swept forwards, cutting everything around like wind blades. 

  “Elephant God Power – God Shocking.” 

  When one cultivated both internal and external cultivation and used their killing move, it wasn’t just a clash of strength. There was also True Essence. When the two merged together, it was enough to destroy anything. 

  “Honglong!” 

  The battle was really intense. Lin Fan’s True Essence and God Body’s power was like a flood, totally endless, and not slowing down at all. 

  The battle of hands, fists, and palms were so quick that one could only see the afterimages. 

  Many deep holes appeared in the ground. These holes were left after two powers struck one another. 

  Lin Fan was used to killing his opponent instantly. It didn’t happen here, instead, they were on the same level and both sides were injured. 

  “So it feels so good to actually fight.” 

  This was the first time he had such a feeling. 

  He had never felt this way in the past. 

  Maybe this was the sense of joy that one could feel when their strength became extremely terrifying. 

  “Honglong!” 

  Lin Fan wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at the Bugman whose chest was burst open but was still regenerating. His gaze became really sharp. Could this person be killed at all? 

  Impossible. 

  There was no unkillable person in this world. 

  All sorts of unkillable things were just people bragging. 

  Lin Fan opened his arms and True Essence gathered. The True Essence that spread out from his body was like a mist, pulling a long tail and slowly merging together. 

  In this True Essence mist, many projections appeared. All of these projections were cultivation technique moves. 

  He gathered everything he learned together and then used absolute strength to suppress them. This consumed a lot of True Essence and was also a huge ask of one’s body. 

  However, what a waste. 

  Lin Fan’s True Essence and God Body’s strength was endless and he would never feel a sense of drying up. 

  Just at that moment, the strength he had accumulated reached its peak. 

  He rose his cultivation techniques to the Returning to True Realm, that was something other people didn’t even dare to think about. 

  Sword Palace Elder Han was strong, middle God Essence Realm. Even then, he only had one Heaven Shocking Sword Technique that reached Returning to True. The rest were far from it. 

  “Let’s see how strong this attack is.” Lin Fan pushed his palm forwards. It directly turned into a pillar of light that struck forward. 

  The Bugman’s body toppled. 

  A black veil appeared, blocking the light pillar. 

  “Buzz, buzz!” 

  The Bugman’s legs stepped into the ground, like it was blocking with much difficulty. 

  But the blocking was far from enough. 

  “Honglong!” 

  The light pillar covered the Bugman and he seemed to break apart. One couldn’t see the exact situation within. 

  Very quickly, the light pillar that contained the strongest True Essence pushed forwards 100 meters, destroying many trees, leaving a circular moat in the ground. 

  “This…” 

  Lin Fan looked at the scenes ahead and felt his head hurt. 

  Half of the Bugman’s body was shattered but the bugs moved, repairing it. Very quickly, the destroyed half was totally regenerated. 

  “Does it really not die?” Lin Fan frowned, he wasn’t satisfied with the current situation. 

  “No, it definitely can be killed, just that the time hasn’t arrived. I think it is definitely possible.” 

  Lin Fan was not tired, he didn’t even sweat at all. He just coughed out blood. All of this was just a small matter and he didn’t bother much. 

  The Bugman twisted his neck and locked onto Lin Fan. 

  It was obvious that it would fight to the death and not stop until he was dead. 

  “Siu!” 

  The Bugman disappeared from the spot. 

  Lin Fan disappeared too. 

  Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, there was a water-like ripple that spread in the air. 

  Those were energy ripples caused by pure power. 

  This was a battle of the highest echelon of God Essence Realm Experts. Lin Fan was able to fight till now and still not lose out, it wasn’t solely because he cultivated both internal and external cultivation, but more importantly because all of his cultivation techniques had reached Returning to True realm. 

  The moment Lin Fan appeared, the Bugman appeared beside, using his fists and legs to sweep him. 

  He raised his hand to block, there was a low and heavy thud, and then the impact ripples spread out. 

  The sky slowly became dark. 

  The battle continued. 

  This type of battle really lasted too long. 

  Even a normal Peak God Essence Realm Expert would be tired after fighting till now. For the Bugman to last until now was a huge problem in Lin Fan’s eyes. 

  Or rather, it was just really weird. 

  Now that both sides were equally matched, no one could take the other party down, it was down to who went out of strength first. 

  Of course, with Lin Fan’s current situation, that was impossible. But there seemed to be not many changes on the side of the Bugman. 

  How did Nine Bug Gang have such terrifying fighting strength? 

  That was enough to say that the reason why Nine Bug Gang was able to control such an important city like Fuzhou not because of Insect Valley but because Nine Bug Gang itself was really strong. 

  In the distance, several thousand meters away from Lin Fan, a few people hid in the darkness. 

  “Such an intense battle, it seems like experts are fighting. Who knows when this will end?” The person who spoke was covered in black clothes. Their aura was retracted, like they were a part of the darkness. they definitely weren’t revealing themselves. 

  “Don’t rush, wait. When such experts clash, an outcome will definitely be decided. We can secretly pick their corpses and see whether or not we gain anything.” 

  They were professionals who collected good things from the corpses of the dead. 

  Although sometimes they returned without any gains, most of the time they would have huge rewards. 

  This was the way that they survived. 

  Of course, if both sides suffered heavy injuries, then that was the best. They would kill steal and slay both parties. When that happened, then they would really be rich. 

  The sky was bright. 

  Sunlight shone in. 

  “Impossible, impossible, who are they to be able to fight until now?” 

  “This…” 

  They were totally stunned. They didn’t sleep for an entire night to wait for a chance. They thought that it would end quickly but who knew that the explosions wouldn’t stop? A bright light shone and lit up the entire area. 

  … 

  In mid-air. 

  “Elephant God Power – Absolute Destruction.” 

  Lin Fan hollered out in rage. He closed his palms and pressed down. Shocking True Essence and power surged out and struck the Bugman on the head. 

  With a peng, its head exploded. 

  Suddenly, he noticed that there was a weird-looking red bug. This red bug shook its tail, forming a circle. At the same time, many small tentacles stretched out, they were connected to the entire head. 

  One of the thicker tentacles was connected to the neck. 

  “Eh?” 

  “Is this the key?” 

  Lin Fan wasn’t dumb. Although sometimes he was a little silly, when facing some special situations, he was really smart. 

  Just as he was thinking about all this, the Bugman’s head recovered. 

  But it didn’t matter… 

  He didn’t fear that it regenerated, he had to just blow it apart once more. 

  Since fighting until now, Lin Fan had a deeper understanding of his own strength. The Bugman was Peak God Essence Realm but it was even stronger and more terrifying than other Peak God Essence Realm Experts. 

  Without such a special presence like him, it might be invincible among Peak God Essence Realm Experts. 

  “It seems like I can’t head to Nine Bug Gang yet.” 

  Lin Fan warned himself that it was normal to be annoyed but he definitely couldn’t head over to ask to die. 

  He was improving really quickly now. Other people required decades but he just needed a short time. He just had to play safe and within a year he would reach higher levels. 

  Peng! 

  Since he knew what the key was, then he would just go all out. A person without rage points was a person without a soul. 

  After some time. 

  “Puchi!” 

  Lin Fan took the Bugman’s strike head-on, punching right into its head. He grabbed with his fingers and pulled the bug out. 

  “This is the reason why you are able to endlessly regenerate?” Lin Fan looked at the struggling bug. He squashed and killed it. 

  When he looked at the Bugman, he noticed its flesh and blood falling to the ground like it was in pain. It then became a pile of dirt. 

  “This?” Lin Fan didn’t understand. That red bug had such ability? 

  That wasn’t Master or Grandmaster but God Essence Realm. 

  He had seen many cases in Nine Bug Gang, their Hall Heads were all Master Realm and weren’t much. 

  But the current situation was a little off. 

  Did Nine Bug Gang really rely on the Gang Leader himself to carry them up?
