Chapter 72 - 72: Jade Token
That Gold Realm Expert was completely caught off guard and he didn't have time to put up his guard against Lin Fan.
The moment Lin Fan's palm came into contact with his head, it was like a watermelon shattering as his skull burst into pieces. Once his head had exploded, blood poured down his body before his legs crumpled and the headless corpse fell to the ground.
At this, everyone finally noticed Lin Fan.
But Lin Fan didn't just stop there, he immediately turned to attack the other Gold Realm lackey, but this one wasn't as easy.
The others all reacted this time, but with a single thought from Brainy, they were all unable to move.
The Gold Realm Expert tried to put up his guard, but the moment Lin Fan's palm slammed into his arms, there was a loud snapping sounds as his arms bent inward at the center. Then as Lin Fan's palm continued pushing forward, the Gold Realm Expert's chest collapsed and a large mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.
But this Gold Realm Expert was quite tenacious. Even with a collapsed chest, he still pushed through and tried to get a kick in at Lin Fan, but the moment his legs made contact, it felt like he was kicking a sheet of steel and it was his leg that turned numb.
After the first palm, Lin Fan quickly ended it with another palm, shattering the head of this Gold Realm Expert.
The leader wanted to take advantage of this moment to attack Lin Fan, but the moment he jumped out, the Gold Realm wolf that had appeared second suddenly jumped out. That wolf clashed with the leader and pushed him back before jumping to Lin Fan's side where it allowed Lin Fan to pat its head.
Seeing this, every single member of the group felt a chill run down their spine.
It was clear that they had fallen for a trap, but they still didn't know what grudge this person had against them.
The leader tried to calmly say, "This friend, we're all trying to claim the inheritance, there's no need for you to do this."
Lin Fan just looked at him and said, "Unfortunately, there was some conflict between me and your group, so there's no other choice."
The leader quickly said, "This friend, what conflict could we have with you? This is our first time meeting."
Lin Fan turned to where the three corpses were buried, "Maybe you haven't met me before, but those three certainly have."
The leader's mind quickly turned and he put the pieces together. The strange way that those three died proved everything, it was clear that they provoked this unknown man and now he was tying up loose ends.
But the leader didn't give up, "Friend, those three were nothing more than burdens for our group. This friend has done us a favour by eliminating them."
Lin Fan pointed at the two dead Gold Realm Experts, "Then what about these two?"
The leader's face twitched, but he still said, "It can be considered the price to pay for making new friends."
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and shook his head, "You already know how this will end, why do you keep trying to stall?"
The leader's expression fell at this.
While he had been stalling, the other members had already started moving in different directions. They didn't believe that Lin Fan would be able to chase all of them down.
But the moment they tried to escape, Brainy suddenly activated the seeds and none of them could move. They had thought the first time Lin Fan stopped them was just a special skill that he couldn't use in succession, but how wrong they were.
Seeing the members of his group dropping to the ground like flies, the leader knew that there was no other way.
The leader quickly said, "This friend, my name is Qi Yu of the Qi Royal Family. As long as you spare me, I guarantee that our Qi Family will be your closest allies and we will fulfill any wish you have."
Lin Fan just shook his head again, "You and I both know that everything you're saying is a lie."
Qi Yu was desperate, so he took off the ring on his left hand, "Friend, this is a Spatial Ring with everything that I have. I will unseal it and give you everything as long as you allow me to leave here safely."
While the wrist watches did provide storage, it was a storage that relied on service from the Union Government. This meant that as long as there wasn't service, one couldn't access their items.
That would never happen on the Blue Star Planet since the Union Government had laid down a complete network, but that gave control of your items to the Union Government.
Most people had no choice since they couldn't afford spatial treasures, but royal families preferred to use Spatial Rings which they could imprint with their own spiritual sense seals. After all, the safest hands were your own in the end.
But Lin Fan wasn't tricked at all, "You think I don't know what you're trying to do? This is a grudge that you will never drop and as long as I keep your Spatial Ring you'll have a way to track me. How long do you think I'll live with a royal family hunting me down?"
Qi Yu wanted to say something else, but Lin Fan didn't give him a chance at all as he jumped out at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu tried to put up his guard, but then he found that there was something inside him that restricted his movement.
Lin Fan charged forth and with one smooth motion, he cut off Qi Yu's head.
In his final moments, Qi Yu had a look of absolute terror which remained on his decapitated head.
Once he took care of that, Lin Fan picked up the Spatial Ring before saying to Brainy, "Have the beast take care of the others."
After saying that, he completely ignored the rest of the group as he went off to the side to look through Qi Yu's Spatial Ring as Brainy controlled the beasts to take care of the corpses.
The beasts put bite marks and signs of battle in the surrounding area, making this look like the aftermath of a beast wave. That way, no one would ever connect this incident to Lin Fan.
…
Zi Ling in the sky was completely amazed by Lin Fan, she never thought that he would be this decisive.
He had just slaughtered an entire group because of a single act of saving her, this kid really was bloodthirsty.
But she didn't care about that since all experts were like this. They had to be decisive living in the cultivation world because the cultivation world followed the law of the jungle. If he didn't do this, he might have been the one to be hunted down once they left this realm.
As for what she really cared about, it was the power that she could sense inside Lin Fan.
During that entire fight, she could tell that Lin Fan wasn't even aware of the power that he had, but traces of it could be seen in the way he fought. Especially how he sucked in the life energy of the enemies he slayed.
There was only one explanation for this and it was what Zi Ling had been looking for.
…
Once Lin Fan cracked the spiritual sense seal on the Spatial Ring, he immediately started digging around inside.
This Qi Yu really was quite the rich person, he had plenty of elixirs and pills, as well as many different artifacts.
But too bad none of those artifacts suited Lin Fan since his fists were still stronger than any of those artifacts.
As Lin Fan continued to dig around in the ring, he eventually came across a piece of paper that caught his attention.
There was a limited map on the paper and based on landmarks he had passed, Lin Fan could tell that it was a map of the Inheritance Realm. But the most interesting part was that there was a X that was marked on the map.
Could it be that this was a treasure map?
Lin Fan put this away with plans to check it out later before continuing to dig around in the Spatial Ring.
When he ran out of things to dig through, the very last item he found caught his attention.
It was a jade token with a picture of a rat on it.
