Chapter 42: Mutual Destruction

  Lin Fan didn't dare to linger for a moment, he didn't want to fight against the black-clothed woman. He knew it was impossible to win, but still waited foolishly for her, what's the difference between this and being an idiot?

  However, before Lin Fan could use the Five Elements Escape to leave the pavilion, the black-clothed woman suddenly appeared inside the pavilion. Her eyes were somewhat icy cold, and although her face couldn't be seen, Lin Fan felt a terrifying killing aura emanating from her body.

  "Who are you, anyway? Why have you come to my Jiu You Sacred Land?" The soft-spoken questions were a far cry from the rashness of the pale purple girl, but Lin Fan noticed that the entire pavilion's space seemed to be completely isolated by a strange aura.

  "I come from Longteng College, was chased by two War Kings to here, unintentionally broke into the passage, came to this place in distress", Lin Fan did not lie at all, told the truth, but changed his origin from Luori City to Longteng College.

  Since entering the Jiuyou tribe, Lin Fan discovered that the Jiuyou tribe was indeed mysterious and unpredictable. Even the black-clothed woman in front of him was mysterious and unpredictable, with an extremely powerful strength. He couldn't bring trouble to Luoricheng, so he had no choice but to compromise with Longteng Academy.

  "No matter what the reason, since you've intruded upon the sacred land of Jiuyou, then you only have death," after saying that, the black-clothed woman lightly waved her hand, and Lin Fan felt a terrifying power completely lock him down.

  Feeling the strange power that locked himself, Lin Fan was shocked beyond measure, because he felt a hint of war aura from the power released by the black-clothed woman. However, it's worth noting that the War King could only separate his war aura from his body, breaking through the air to injure his enemies, and it was absolutely impossible for him to use his war aura to lock down his opponent.

  What does this represent? Since crossing over, Lin Fan had seen such a strong person for the first time and didn't dare to stay any longer. He directly unfolded the Five Elements Concealment Technique, and Lin Fan's figure instantly disappeared without a trace.

  Watching the boy suddenly disappear, both the pale purple girl and the black-clothed woman had an incredulous look on their faces, especially the black-clothed woman, who seemed to be unable to comprehend why the boy was able to escape under her power.

  "You're just a war master, how can you escape from my dark domain?" It seemed that she still couldn't believe it, but at this moment, the black-clothed woman looked at a place 100 meters to the left front of the pavilion and said: "Indeed, there's some trickery, I see where you're trying to escape."

  With the light purple girl, the black-clothed woman chased after them instantly. A hundred meters outside the attic, Lin Fan looked back at the attic with some helplessness, thinking that if he had run any slower, he would have definitely died inside the attic.

  Until now, Lin Fan still had some lingering fear of the black-clothed woman's strength, which was simply too terrifying. Lin Fan could completely confirm that the black-clothed woman's strength absolutely exceeded the War King realm, because he hadn't sensed her aura from either the black-clothed man or the white-clothed man, nor from Na Lao. Just now, that strange power had locked him down, giving him a feeling of being powerless. If it weren't for the Five Elements Shift, Lin Fan knew he would definitely not have been able to escape.

  However, Lin Fan was still somewhat dissatisfied with his own Five Elements Shift. Although the Five Elements Shift was very against the heavens, each time the distance of the shift could only reach a maximum of 100 meters, and it couldn't be used continuously either.

  Before he could even catch his breath, Lin Fan's face had already revealed a hint of helplessness. There was no way around it; after all, his strength wasn't as good as others. The only solution was to keep running.

  Very soon, Lin Fan had already left the palace and was speeding in one direction. The black-clothed woman's speed was like lightning, and although she was carrying the pale purple-clad woman, her speed still surpassed Lin Fan by a large margin. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Lin Fan would be caught up to.

  If it weren't for the Five Elements Escape, Lin Fan might have been caught up long ago. About half a time later, Lin Fan arrived at the edge of a cliff, with an absolute wall in front and pursuers behind. The Five Elements Escape couldn't take him away from the cliff either. Now Lin Fan was like a trapped beast, crying out to heaven but getting no response, calling out to earth but getting no echo.

  A woman in black brought a purple girl to stand still one hundred meters away from Lin Fan, seemingly having already figured out the rules of Lin Fan's Five Elements Escape. The position where the two stood happened to be exactly one hundred meters apart, which made Lin Fan even more worried.

  "You're quite good at running, to have arrived at the Abyss of Death. I advise you to jump down, otherwise if I catch you, I'll make you suffer all the hardships of the world before killing you." The pale purple girl seemed to bear a grudge against Lin Fan that was as deep as a vendetta for killing her father, and she couldn't wait to go up and tear him into pieces.

  Before Lin Fan could speak, a loud roar erupted, shaking the sky and earth. The entire cliff seemed to be trembling. A little later, under the dark abyss of death, a small mountain slowly rose up. Two giant lanterns with eerie green glows appeared in the dark depths, looking terrifying. The two lanterns were thin and long, with a faintly sinister intent revealed through their emerald light.

  "The ninth-level ferocious beast, the Death Python, is dead, yet it still hasn't died," The black-clad woman's body trembled, her voice revealing a strong sense of fear. She stared at the two giant lanterns that were glaring at the three of them. The pale purple-clad woman also seemed to be afraid and asked: "Black Aunt, wasn't it said that the Death Python had already been killed by our ancestors? Why would it still appear here?"

  A woman in black clothes said hastily: "Rumors say so, but now it appears here, I don't know why. The Death Python is a ninth-level ferocious beast and an ancient ferocious beast, extremely cruel, unless the ancestors take action, no one can be its opponent, we must leave here as soon as possible."

  The pale purple girl took a few steps back and suddenly turned around to ask the boy 100 meters away, "Hei Yi, what should he do?"

  The black-clothed woman seemed to have really become anxious, without even having the time to speak, pulled up the light purple-clothed woman and was about to leave, but at this moment it was already too late. A snake tail as thick as five people came sweeping over, flying sand and walking stones, and even with the black-clothed woman's strength, she couldn't withstand it for a while.

  At a glance, both of them were forced in front of Lin Fan, but at this time, neither the black-clothed woman nor the light purple-clothed woman could care about Lin Fan. The three of them just stared at the gradually approaching Death Python not far away.

  The small hill approached, and the three of them only now completely saw clearly that the two huge lanterns were actually a pair of giant eyes. The small hill was a tongue, and a strong wind rushed towards their faces, carrying an overwhelming momentum that pressed directly towards the three people.

  At this moment, a gigantic black python was coiled above the entire Death Abyss, slowly floating in front of the three people. The lower half of the python's body was hidden beneath the Death Abyss, and the three could only see one-third of its body. Yet, even this one-third of its body had a length of tens of zhang, with dark, glowing eyes that seemed to pierce through the sky, staring fixedly at the three people on the precipice, as if looking at a menu, waiting for them to become his next meal.

  Whether on Earth or in the Eastern Profound Continent, Lin Fan had never seen such a gigantic python before. This thing was way too exaggerated! Just one-third of its body was already tens of meters long, and Lin Fan found it hard to imagine what the entire Death Profound Python would look like.

  Don't mention Lin Fan, even the two women beside him had never seen such a massive beast before. For a moment, all three of them were stunned on the spot, not saying a word. The entire Death Abyss stirred up a whirlwind, but the fear in the hearts of the three people did not decrease at all. The huge body of the Death Python coiled in front of their eyes, its two giant pupils staring tightly at the three of them, emitting a dark and ominous glow.

  "Wait, I'll kick this person into the abyss. Taking advantage of the Death Serpent's divided attention, we two will leave immediately." The black-robed woman transmitted her thoughts to the pale purple girl.

  She nodded slightly, the pale purple girl didn't show any opposition because she was very clear in her heart that at this moment wanting to leave the Death Abyss safely without dying was the best solution, and there was no other way besides this.

  At this moment, Lin Fan didn't even notice the two people beside him, his eyes fixed intently on the Death Python not far away, thinking about how to safely leave the Death Abyss. Just as the Death Python let out a loud roar, the black-clothed woman finally stretched out her foot and kicked Lin Fan viciously.

  Lin Fan, who was completely unprepared, was no match for the mysterious and unpredictable woman. At this moment, Lin Fan only felt an overwhelming aura coming from behind him. In this life-or-death moment, Lin Fan's eyes were clear and his hands were quick as he stretched out his right hand to grab onto the girl who was about to leave, and together they plunged into the abyss of death.

  "Meng Er!" Looking at the two who had already disappeared, the black-clothed woman never thought that the young man would drag Meng Er down with him in his final moments. Amidst her sorrow, the black-clothed woman did not hesitate one bit, for the Death Python had not gone after the pair, but instead was coming towards her.

  But in that instant, the purple-clad girl was gone, and the black-robed woman's figure quickly disappeared into the precipice above. It seemed impossible to leave the Death Abyss, and the Death Python could only watch helplessly as the black-robed woman left, its angry roars echoing throughout the Death Chasm.

  Rapidly falling, Lin Fan's vision went black. If he hadn't forced himself to stay awake, perhaps at this moment Lin Fan would have already fainted, let alone the fact that the black-clothed woman's kick was so powerful, not to mention Lin Fan, even a war king might not be able to withstand it.

  Lin Fan's entire body ached unbearably, his bones felt like they were about to shatter, and he was almost torn apart. He was suspended in mid-air, and in addition to the small ball of flesh in his arms, there was now another person - the pale purple girl who had been pulled down with him into the abyss.

  The girl in his arms had long since fainted, but Lin Fan remained calm and composed, unlike the woman who couldn't bear to see a scene. With his brain operating at 180 miles per second, he gazed out at the dark surroundings, feeling his body plummet downwards at an alarming rate, the wind rushing past him with increasing ferocity.

  Just as the lightning flashed, Lin Fan grabbed a branch on the left stone wall. Before he could even get a good grip, a snake tail with destructive power suddenly appeared, and he quickly let go of his right hand that was holding onto the branch. The two bodies plummeted downwards again, splashing into the water with a loud "plop". Before Lin Fan could even react, they had already crashed into the surface, their eyes going black once more. This time, Lin Fan also fainted, and the two bodies instantly sank into the vast ocean.
