"Earthly Yuan Realm Late Stage Peak?"
At that moment, Xie Yingying covered her lips, her face filled with disbelief.
Not much time had passed since the Lin Family Clan Competition, yet Lin Fan's cultivation had improved by so much again.
"It seems Lin Fan truly possesses astonishing talent. He will surely become an Essence Core Realm expert in the future."
At the thought of Lin Fan breaking through to the Essence Core Realm, the look in Xie Yingying's eyes changed.
Xie Yingying had always admired the strong. In the past, she had believed Lei Li possessed the greatest talent, so she had always treated him with a gentle smile.
But now, Lei Li had been killed by Lin Fan with a single punch. That proved Lin Fan had surpassed Lei Li.
Although she had not yet come to admire Lin Fan, she no longer looked at him as though he were an enemy.
Sensing Xie Yingying's gaze, Lin Fan could not help but frown. "What? Do you want to fight me too?"
"You're so formidable, sir. I couldn't possibly beat you."
Xie Yingying shook her head. "You killed Lei Li, so Lei Bao will surely make trouble for you afterward. If you agree to one condition of mine, I can have the Xie Family stand with the Lin Family."
"What condition?"
Lin Fan asked.
A flush appeared on Xie Yingying's face as she said, "A marriage alliance with me!"
"Pfft!"
Lin Fan stared at her in shock. "Aren't you Lei Li's fiancée? I killed him, and you still want a marriage alliance with me?"
"So what?"
Xie Yingying said indifferently, "In this world where strength is revered, strength represents everything. Since you could kill Lei Li, that means you are more outstanding than him and more suited to be my partner."
At this point, her autumn-water eyes looked toward Lin Fan. "A marriage alliance with me brings only benefits and no disadvantages. Not only will you gain a beautiful wife for nothing, but you will also receive the Xie Family's full support. In a few years, you may even become the head of both the Lin Family and the Xie Family."
Lin Fan shook his head. "Though it is tempting, I already have someone I like."
He was not Cao Cao. Naturally, he would not take just anyone.
Although Xie Yingying was beautiful, she was far inferior to Qing Tan.
Moreover, her talent was quite ordinary. Compared to Qing Tan's Calamity Demon Physique, the gap was simply immeasurable.
Only someone who thought with his lower half would take on such a useless burden.
"You like Lin Qing Tan, don't you?"
Xie Yingying persisted. "It's fine. As long as I am the principal wife, you may marry her as a concubine."
"Heh!"
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "To be honest, you are not even worthy of being compared to Qing Tan."
After saying that, he told Xie Yingying, "Hand over your Identity Token, or die!"
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Xie Yingying had no choice but to hand over her Identity Token.
Then, Lin Fan found the Lei Family's Identity Token on Lei Li's body and left directly.
"Lin Fan, you actually dare look down on me!"
Watching his retreating figure, Xie Yingying's eyes brimmed with intense killing intent.
"Since I can't have you, I'll destroy you!"
Lin Fan did not know what Xie Yingying was thinking, and even if he had known, he would not have cared.
He had spared her not out of pity for a beautiful woman, but because he simply did not care.
Lin Fan now possessed a composite formation.
As long as he set it up, even if the Lei Family and Xie Family joined forces, he could kill them all.
He even wished the Lei Family would take this chance to make trouble. Then, he would have a reason to deal with them.
When he returned to that patch of forest, Lin Dong and Qing Tan were still confronting the Flame Python Tiger.
Though Qing Tan's current strength was enough to kill the injured Flame Python Tiger, she did not want its cubs to lose their mother just like that.
Under the Flame Python Tiger's wary gaze, Lin Fan stepped forward again.
As he walked, his hands continuously formed seals.
Streams of dazzling light began to appear in Lin Fan's hands, eventually transforming into a strange rune.
The instant it saw that rune, the Flame Python Tiger immediately sensed danger.
"Roar!"
It immediately leaped into the air and pounced at Lin Fan.
At that moment, a golden light abruptly appeared around Lin Fan, blocking the Flame Python Tiger's attack.
Lin Fan swiftly pointed with his right hand, imprinting the rune onto the Flame Python Tiger's body.
"Roar!"
As soon as the rune landed, the Flame Python Tiger discovered that it had lost control of its body and immediately began struggling violently.
If it had still been at its peak, it might have been able to break free.
But it had been injured for a long time and had also given birth to three cubs. Its strength had fallen to the point where even Earthly Yuan Realm martial artists could kill it, so it naturally could not resist.
"Phew!"
Lin Fan let out a long breath. He had finally subdued the Flame Python Tiger.
Back then, Chen Beixuan had slain countless enemies, and naturally some of those enemies had come from Beast Taming Sects.
What Lin Fan had just used was merely the simplest Beast Taming Method.
The powerful beast-taming arts could directly plant a Servitude Seal upon a living being's True Spirit.
The True Spirit was the core of all living beings. Once a Servitude Seal was planted there, even reincarnation could not erase it, and one would remain enslaved.
Lin Fan slowly walked over and gently stroked the Flame Python Tiger's head. Then he said to Qing Tan, "Qing Tan, come freeze its wound. If it keeps losing blood, I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to survive."
"Okay, Lin Fan Bro!"
Qing Tan nodded and skipped forward, beginning to use her Yin Calamity Yuan Power.
Then Lin Fan said to Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, give me some of your Spiritual Liquid."
"Alright!"
Lin Dong nodded, then took out a jade bottle and handed it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan poured several drops of Spiritual Liquid onto his hand and extended it toward the Flame Python Tiger.
This time, Lin Fan did not even need to give an order. The Flame Python Tiger stretched out its tongue and licked up the Spiritual Liquid itself.
Clearly, the Flame Python Tiger knew it was good stuff.
"Roar!"
The next moment, the Flame Python Tiger could not help but let out a pained roar.
After a moment, once the Flame Python Tiger had calmed down, it discovered that more than half of its injuries had recovered.
"Roar!"
It cried gratefully at the three of them, as if thanking them.
Lin Fan patted the Flame Python Tiger's little head. "Come with us!"
This time, the Flame Python Tiger did not refuse.
Of course, as its enslaved master, even if it wanted to refuse, it could not.
Thus, Lin Fan and the other two brought along the Flame Python Tiger and its three cubs as they headed toward the enormous platform at the center of the forest.
Along the way, any martial artists they encountered had their Identity Tokens taken from them.
Before long, they had gathered thirty Identity Tokens.
