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?
