Chapter 97: Fight to the Death

One hundred and twenty-five arrows, plus the ten arrows that came bundled with his God-Slaying Crossbow, for a total of one hundred and forty-five arrows. It drove him into a frenzy, shooting wildly toward the black-clothed men. One breath unleashed twenty or more arrows of full-power strikes from the Tongmai Realm.

In just two breaths, the black-clothed men had already sustained injuries, blood spraying everywhere.

After three breaths, someone took heavy blows.

After four breaths, one black-clothed man was unable to dodge in time and was shot through the head, his chest exploding.

During the fifth breath, one black-clothed man was pierced through the arm, the entire limb being torn apart by the crossbow arrows. As he let out a miserable scream, another arrow passed through his throat, killing him.

In the sixth breath, the remaining two black-clothed men were already powerless to resist and were all taken by the arrows, their bodies riddled with countless holes, slowly collapsing to the ground.

Their eyes brimmed with unwillingness; they had never imagined Lin Fan possessed such a formidable trump card.

If they had known this sooner, they would not have been so passive, avoiding the first wave of arrows and letting the rain of arrows repeatedly cover them.

It was because they failed to dodge the first wave that they were enveloped by the arrow rain. Without any余力 to leap beyond the arrow rain's range, they could only hard-block or short-distance dodge, resulting in their deaths.

But they did not understand why Lin Fan had such a powerful trump card yet withheld it from the beginning, instead enduring heavy injuries and fleeing only when forced. Otherwise, they would not have made such a judgment error!

Actually, what they did not know was that although the arrow rain was powerful, each arrow cost two thousand negative emotion points, which Lin Fan could not bear to expend.

Moreover, at the start there had been ten intact Tongmai Realm experts. Even if Lin Fan had not drawn a lottery beforehand, fifty-five thousand negative emotion points would only exchange for two hundred and seventy-five arrows.

Twenty arrows per breath, Lin Fan could only hold on for roughly thirteen breaths!

However, when they first encountered Lin Fan, his body, mind, and true essence were all at their peak, and he was also the most cautious.

Facing Lin Fan's assault, they naturally gave their all.

If Lin Fan truly unleashed arrows, twenty per breath against ten peak Tongmai Realm experts who were being cautious from the outset, they would certainly avoid it rather than hard-block.

Even if they hard-blocked, two God-Slaying Crossbow arrows would not leave them heavily injured or dead. After sensing the power of the God-Slaying Crossbow, they would immediately disperse, and Lin Fan's God-Slaying Crossbow would pose no threat to these ten black-clothed men.

Thus, Lin Fan chose close combat, prepared for heavy injury, and opted to draw the lottery.

But when he eliminated five of the black-clothed men, he suffered heavy injuries and was forced to flee.

Of course, the remaining black-clothed men were not injured but had consumed considerable mental energy, and with Lin Fan fleeing, in their eyes he was naturally at his last gasp, so they were not as cautious as before.

They merely hoped to kill Lin Fan as soon as possible and bring Ximen Yiyi back!

It was precisely their carelessness that allowed Lin Fan to devise the plan, have Little Gold enlarge his body, take Ximen Yiyi away, draw their attention, and then launch a fierce assassination, killing one.

Even though Lin Fan suffered heavy injuries again, it was at the cost of heavy injury to kill one person!

Just like that, plus the lottery failing to draw what Lin Fan desired, Lin Fan could only sever the lottery, exchange everything for arrows, and frantically shoot at the black-clothed men he believed had no more trump cards left!

One breath twenty God-Slaying Crossbow arrows, the remaining black-clothed men each had to face five God-Slaying Crossbow arrows simultaneously, five Tongmai Realm full-power strikes.

They could dodge two and hard-block three, but had no余力 to leap beyond the God-Slaying Crossbow arrows' coverage!

It was as if five Tongmai Realm experts unleashed full-power strikes at him, dodging two moves and hard-clashing with three, equivalent to continuously confronting three Tongmai Realm experts of the same level.

So they simply could not withstand it.

After just two breaths someone was injured; after three breaths someone was heavily injured; after four breaths someone died; after five breaths half had perished; after six breaths they all died beneath the God-Slaying Crossbow.

This was Lin Fan's control over the human heart and over the battlefield. If he had unleashed the God-Slaying Crossbow first, such a scene would not have occurred.

At that time, even if he targeted four black-clothed men, he would not have achieved such results, because the other black-clothed men were not fools. When they dodged the God-Slaying Crossbow and attacked him, he would have had to halt the God-Slaying Crossbow.

Similarly, Lin Fan actually did not wish to deploy the God-Slaying Crossbow. He had already suffered heavy injuries, and the God-Slaying Crossbow was the only weapon that was so powerful without consuming true essence; it had been prepared for emergencies.

Now that he used it, it also proved he had completely run out of trump cards!

Huff!

Lin Fan took a deep breath, suddenly his expression changed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The God-Slaying Crossbow arrows flew out. In an instant, the remaining twenty or so arrows all shot forth.

The arrows' positions also shifted, aimed not at the black-clothed men's bodies but at the large tree nearby. In that moment, ten figures disguised as black-clothed men fled in other directions.

While Lin Fan had already jumped and continued fleeing toward the interior of the fourth-rank demonic beast territory.

"Those of the third group are all dead. What good fortune! In the future when we advance to silver badge, there will be fewer obstacles!"

One of the ten black-clothed men slowly spoke, but their movements were not slow as they chased toward Lin Fan.

Hiss——!

Lin Fan sped along at high velocity while sucking in cold air. His injuries were too severe, the pain causing him to sweat profusely. Although he had swallowed Dragon Blood Vine to replenish his blood energy, his wounds had not yet fully healed.

The two-foot-long wound on his back had shrunk to one foot, the flesh on his calf merely forming scabs, yet in his rapid flight the back wound continued bleeding, the scabs tearing again!

And there was the intense pain in his chest!

This had been the heavy strike from the other black-clothed men, already shaking his heart and lungs; several ribs on his chest were definitely fractured.

More helplessly, the companions summoned by the black-clothed men had arrived at this moment.

He had previously been intact, enduring numerous stabs without sparing his body, and with Little Gold only managed to kill five black-clothed men; using the Hundred Mile Rush at the cost of broken ribs and heavily injured heart and lungs, he killed another black-clothed man again.

He was now at his last gasp, barely holding on with the three Dragon Blood Vines he had ingested, using their healing function to temporarily recover some wounds.

Subsequently, all trump cards were exhausted, all negative emotion points consumed, only then did he finally eliminate the final four black-clothed men.

But the black-clothed men's companions arrived so swiftly, and they were ten Tongmai Realm experts; he had no more trump cards and had already suffered heavy injuries, how could he withstand it?!

Fortunately, the fourth-rank demonic beast territory was not far away, less than a hundred miles distant. If Lin Fan desperately fled, he might still make it.

Huff huff!

Lin Fan rapidly shuttled through, at this time the lightning and thunder in the sky had vanished, the drizzle had turned into a torrential downpour, the black python jungle was pitch black, Lin Fan stepped on the rainwater, rapidly moving, he felt the blood energy of the Dragon Blood Vine also beginning to weaken.

This was the first time he had encountered such a life-threatening crisis since awakening his memories!

Lin Fan while running, took out the Earth Origin Fruit at the same time, and some ordinary healing pills from his storage ring, all frantically stuffed into his mouth.

At this time, there was no other way, he could only use the desperate measure of treating a dead horse as if it were alive!

The Earth Origin Fruit was extremely powerful; one could open the five acupoints of the Qi Pulse Realm, the power of one acupoint in the Qi Pulse Realm equivalent to the energy of twenty thousand Qi threads in the Qi Gathering Realm.

That means one Earth Origin Fruit could equal ten thousand Qi threads!

Unfortunately, the Earth Origin Fruit was not something the Qi Gathering Realm could digest at all, its energy too vast and pure; even just one could instantly burst the meridians of a peak Qi Gathering Realm expert.

Fortunately, Lin Fan's true essence was already pure, two hundred and fifty-three Qi threads, equivalent to twenty-five thousand Qi threads of others.

The energy of one Earth Origin Fruit was abundant, equivalent to ten thousand Qi threads, but for him it was only one thousand Qi threads.

Now that his blood energy was largely lost, his only choices were two: either quickly escape the black-clothed men's pursuit, find a place to bandage his wounds, and then use healing medicine to treat his injuries.

Or, quickly advance to the next realm, using his more powerful true essence to wrap around his injuries, and through advancement make his bloodline even more powerful!

And at the same time, with the battle power that surged from advancement, kill these black-clothed men!

Lin Fan had absolute confidence; as long as he advanced to the Tongmai Realm, he could completely annihilate these people, because with just his physical strength he could kill three Tongmai Realm, not to mention that after paying the heavy injury cost he had consecutively killed six Tongmai Realm experts.

If he advanced again, killing ten Tongmai Realm was not impossible.

You know, he was now only at the mid-stage of Qi Gathering Realm, two hundred and fifty-three Qi threads, already equivalent to the true essence of just advancing to the Tongmai Realm. If he advanced to the Tongmai Realm, he believed his true essence would be no weaker than Tongmai Realm experts.

Fighting in the same realm, killing black-clothed men like chopping melons and vegetables!

Even though he was now heavily injured....

However, his swallowing of the Earth Origin Fruit was also extremely dangerous; at least whether his meridians could withstand it, he had no idea.

He was now being pursued by the black-clothed men, unable to escape, Yiyi still ahead, he could not flee, the situation was extremely urgent.

Seeing the black-clothed men gradually closing in, he could only choose this, betting his life on one gamble!

Boom!

The Earth Origin Fruit entered Lin Fan's body and immediately transformed into a surging torrent of energy, rushing through Lin Fan's meridians straight toward the qi sea.

The Earth Origin Fruit energy was extremely majestic; although Lin Fan's physical strength reached the power of one ding, it did not represent that his meridians' strength had also reached the Tongmai Realm.

Because he had not experienced the tempering of energy, it was impossible.

Just like a weightlifter possessing a thousand jin of strength, it did not mean he could withstand a thousand jin of crushing.

Lin Fan's state was like this; although his physical strength had reached the Tongmai expert level, his meridians were only at the Qi Gathering Realm level, even if far stronger than the Qi Gathering Realm, they were still within the Qi Gathering Realm.

The Earth Origin Fruit was a fruit extremely effective even for the Tongmai Realm; the majestic energy flowed down Lin Fan's meridians, like a crushing machine several meters wide, charging straight through a two-meter-wide road.
