Qin Jiuge's indifferent attitude and his perfectly justified mockery drove Lin Fan to the brink of collapse.

Weren't geniuses supposed to possess pride far beyond ordinary people's, flying into a rage at the slightest word?

Why was Qin Jiuge before him completely unaffected by his provocation?

A deep sense of unwillingness surged within Lin Fan.

He could feel the aura around him steadily weakening.

Before long, he would likely fall back to the Spirit Nurturing Realm.

That was why he had tried to provoke Qin Jiuge into fighting him, hoping to use this power before it completely faded to kill Qin Jiuge in one overpowering strike!

Even if he were ground into ashes by a Guardian afterward, it would still mean his life in this world had not been in vain!

But Qin Jiuge simply refused to take the bait!

Overcome with agitation, Lin Fan could not help roaring, "Qin Jiuge, you—you—you... You don't dare! What kind of genius are you supposed to be?!"

Hearing Lin Fan's impotent, furious shouting, Qin Jiuge did not feel the slightest embarrassment. Instead, he found it somewhat amusing.

What a joke. He was not some brainless villain!

In those webnovels from his previous life, the villains practically had no brains at all.

They would tailor experience packages to the Child of Destiny's realm, constantly delivering themselves, equipment, and beauties to him, until the Child of Destiny's wings had hardened and he wiped out the villains in one wave.

Qin Jiuge would never do something that stupid!

With that thought, Qin Jiuge casually waved a hand. "Uncle Li, crush him."

What?

Lin Fan could hardly believe his ears.

What had he just heard?

Qin Jiuge actually wanted his Guardian to kill him?

Originally, Lin Fan had thought that after transforming in just a few months from an utterly ordinary Groom into one of the foremost experts on the Sky Profound Continent, Qin Jiuge would surely be interested in him.

Even if Qin Jiuge wanted to kill him, he should at least interrogate him first and uncover his hidden cards before making a move.

But Qin Jiuge did not even question him before deciding to kill him outright?

"Qin Jiuge! Aren't you going to ask what exactly happened to me? Aren't you going to ask whether I have some supreme treasure on me?"

Lin Fan cried out unwillingly.

He still had so much life ahead of him, so many things left to do. How could he possibly accept death so readily?

"Foolish. Once I kill you, those things will be mine too."

Qin Jiuge gave a soft laugh and looked toward Uncle Li.

Uncle Li understood. The terrifying aura around him instantly condensed.

A heaven-shaking might descended from above, directly crushing the previously noisy Lin Fan into a puddle of flesh!

Lin Fan was dead!

Looking at the pulverized Lin Fan, the Su Family members wore complicated expressions.

The affairs of this world truly were impossible to predict...

Over the past three months, they had treated Lin Fan as an honored guest of the Su Family, regarding him as the hope of the Su Family's revival.

Yet they had never expected him to be so utterly vulnerable before the Eternal Qin Family.

Even after erupting with combat strength far surpassing his usual level, he still could not escape the fate of being crushed.

Now, he had even become a puddle of flesh...

However, what the Su Family felt more than anything was relief.

Lin Fan had actually been bold enough to try to kill Qin Jiuge, the Second Sequence among the Eternal Qin Family's younger generation.

Thankfully, Qin Jiuge's mysterious Guardian was powerful. Otherwise, Lin Fan would have dragged their Su Family down with him!

Now that the Su Family had latched onto Qin Jiuge's great tree, who still cared about Lin Fan?

Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, an abrupt change occurred the next moment!

A dazzling golden light rose from Lin Fan's body and shot into the distance!

This sudden turn of events left everyone greatly shocked.

The golden light was too fast; there was simply no time to stop it!

Watching the golden light flee into the distance, Qin Jiuge's lips curled into an arc.

Just as expected... Lin Fan really was not dead!

How could a Child of Destiny be so easily killed?

No matter what method one used, they could not be killed!

"Old Man Lin!"

Qin Jiuge shouted.

The next instant, an aura even more terrifying than Uncle Li's soared into the sky, as though it would crush the entire East Departure City!

A violent aura surged forth, blanketing heaven and earth like raging waves in an angry sea, terrifying beyond measure.

Amid that overwhelming aura, a gaunt figure clad in black robes slowly descended from the air.

The moment this figure appeared, everyone in the Su Family clearly sensed that this old man was even more terrifying than the Guardian who had acted earlier!

The descending old man did not seem to be moving quickly, yet for some reason, the golden light that had just been incomparably swift seemed to have struck a wall and instantly slowed down.

"Freeze!"

An aged voice came from the old man's mouth.

A somewhat withered finger accurately tapped the golden light.

Like a trapped beast, the golden light lunged left and right, yet it could not break through the barrier the old man had casually laid down.

Whoosh!

No one saw the old man make any movement, but in the next instant, he had already appeared before Qin Jiuge.

"Young Master, I have not failed my mission!"

The old man raised a hand, holding up the golden light as he presented it before Qin Jiuge.

"Break!"

The old man gently rolled his right thumb. To everyone's astonishment, the golden light that had seemed indestructible moments ago was forcibly crushed to pieces by the old man!

What terrifying cultivation was this?

As the golden light scattered, an ancient-looking Scroll appeared before everyone.

Beside the Scroll, a Soul Body almost identical to Lin Fan's, though somewhat illusory, lifted its head in terror and looked around.

The succession of twists in such a short span left the Su Family members and Su Xian'er unable to believe their eyes...

Lin Fan was actually not dead?

Didn't Soul Bodies require at least the Life and Death Realm to cultivate?

Even at the height of his aura earlier, Lin Fan had only reached the Nirvana Realm!

How had he cultivated a Soul Body?

The Su Family members finally realized that Lin Fan must have been hiding a terrifying secret!

And that old man who had just captured Lin Fan's Soul Body... he was even more terrifying than the Guardian who had crushed Lin Fan earlier!

There were already two such experts beside the Second Sequence of the younger generation. Was this the foundation of the Eternal Qin Family?

It was simply terrifying beyond words!

In Uncle Lin's palm, Lin Fan, now reduced to a Soul Body, was also somewhat dazed.

Hadn't he died?

How could he still see Qin Jiuge and the Su Family members?

What exactly was going on?

While everyone else stood stunned, Qin Jiuge appeared completely composed.

He fixed his eyes on Lin Fan's Soul Body and spoke aloud, "Old sir, are you still unwilling to come out? Must I invite you out personally?"

Just as the Su Family members thought Qin Jiuge was spouting nonsense, an aged voice slowly sounded beside Lin Fan.

"Alas, are young people nowadays all this terrifying?"
