Tang San gritted his teeth so hard they nearly shattered. To describe his current state of mind as filled with hatred would be an understatement. His strength was already far inferior to Lin Fan's; if he allowed his dignity to be trampled upon as well, he would never have a chance to turn his life around!
"Very good. I love people with a backbone like yours!"
Lin Fan gave a cold laugh, walked straight over to Ma Hongjun, and stomped down hard on his thigh!
"Ah!"
A scream like a slaughtered pig erupted from Ma Hongjun's throat. His face turned as pale as paper, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, and his originally lecherous features were now twisted in agony!
"Lin Fan, I'm going to kill you!"
Bloodshot veins filled Tang San's eyes. A low growl rumbled in his throat as he charged toward Lin Fan!
Bang!
Even in his prime, he wouldn't have been a match for Lin Fan, let alone now. With a single kick, Lin Fan sent him sprawling to the ground!
"I'll give you one last chance. I'm counting to three. If you don't kneel by then, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
Lin Fan flashed over to the terrified Oscar, grabbed him by the throat, and hoisted him into mid-air!
"This kid is a support-type spirit master; his physical constitution is pathetic. If I accidentally kill him, don't blame me!"
"Three, two..."
As the countdown progressed, the pressure in Lin Fan's grip gradually increased. Oscar's face turned beet red, the veins on his neck bulged, and his expression was one of extreme pain as his legs kicked frantically in the air!
"One!"
As the final number left Lin Fan's lips, Tang San, not far away, dropped to his knees with a heavy thud!
"Haha!"
Lin Fan laughed, feeling incredibly satisfied. With a casual flick, he tossed Oscar aside like a dead dog!
"Tang San, look! Your teacher, your companions—they are all suffering because of you!"
"The reason for all of this is that you are too weak! Right now, you are nothing but a pathetic worm, not even worthy of me looking at you directly!"
Lin Fan walked up to Tang San, every word piercing the latter's heart like a sharp blade!
Tang San knelt there blankly, like a walking corpse. His dignity had been completely destroyed by Lin Fan.
Lin Fan raised a foot, kicked Tang San to the ground, and stepped directly onto his head!
Half of Tang San's face was buried in the dirt; he tried to struggle to his feet, but it was impossible!
"Remember the humiliation I've given you. Use it as fuel for your cultivation. If you want revenge, I'll be waiting anytime!"
After saying this, Lin Fan spat on Tang San and ignored him thereafter.
"What a bountiful harvest today!"
Seeing the 50,000 Villain Points added to his personal profile, Lin Fan was overjoyed!
As long as he had enough Villain Points, he could exchange for almost anything in the System Store!
"Many thanks to the Dragon Duke for holding the line for this junior."
Lin Fan stepped forward and bowed to the Dragon Duke.
"Brother Lin Fan, you jest. Even without me, you were more than capable of handling the trouble at hand."
The Dragon Duke's face still held traces of shock. While Lin Fan's strength was formidable, the decisiveness and ruthlessness of his methods had startled him even more!
The Dragon Duke was absolutely certain that anyone who became Lin Fan's enemy would be in for a massive headache.
"Brother Lin Fan..."
At this moment, Xiao Wu ran over and whispered something into Lin Fan's ear.
"Two seniors, Sister Yiran, we have some matters to attend to, so let us part ways here..."
"Very well, then we shall not intrude!"
The Dragon Duke naturally understood the implication in Lin Fan's words, so he led Snake Granny and Meng Yiran away.
"That... will we meet again?!"
Meng Yiran stopped in her tracks and turned back to ask, looking reluctant to leave.
"Of course. I believe that when we meet again, Sister Yiran will be even more beautiful, and I will be even more mature."
Receiving Lin Fan's slightly suggestive hint, Meng Yiran's pretty face flushed, and she followed the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny out of the Star Dou Forest.
"Hasn't Zhuqing already obtained her third spirit ring? Why are we still staying here? It's almost dark!"
Ning Rongrong asked with a frown, and Zhuqing beside her looked equally puzzled.
Chapter 36: Titan Giant Ape
"Uh... Rongrong, it's because I dropped my wooden comb on the way here. It was a keepsake left to me by my mother..."
Xiao Wu stepped forward to explain.
"Is that so? Then let's hurry and find it!"
And so, the group retraced their steps, beginning a meticulous search along the path they had traveled.
Boom, boom...
Just then, several sounds like muffled thunder suddenly erupted, accompanied by a violent trembling of the earth!
"What is going on? Is it an earthquake?!"
Ning Rongrong's pretty face was full of confusion as she murmured to herself.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the group felt their vision darken; a massive shadow had appeared on the ground. When they looked up to see the sight before them, everyone's mouths hung open in shock, and they stood frozen in place, their breathing and heartbeats even stalling for a fleeting moment!
It was a colossal creature resembling an ape. Although it was on all fours, its height exceeded 15 meters! If it were to stand upright, it would likely tower over 30 meters tall!
Its mountain-like body was covered in pitch-black fur that shimmered with a faint luster, and dark red, magma-like rune patterns traced across its form.
The beast's eyes, as large as lanterns, glowed with an earthy yellow light. Its physique was impossibly robust, with every inch covered in powerful muscles more terrifying than granite, bulging like small hills!
"Is this the Titan Giant Ape?!"
Lin Fan murmured. Even with his strength and state of mind, he felt a tremendous sense of oppression facing such a behemoth, to the point where even breathing became difficult!
"ROAR!"
The Titan Giant Ape let out a thunderous roar. The group felt their hearts and souls tremble; leaves and trees within a radius of several dozen miles fell, and all the soul beasts in the area fled in a panic!
At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape reached out a palm and swiped toward the stunned Ning Rongrong!
"Watch out!"
Lin Fan let out a loud roar. He lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow, grabbing Ning Rongrong and rolling a dozen meters to the side, narrowly avoiding the lethal attack.
"Are you alright?!"
Lin Fan kept Ning Rongrong shielded in his arms the entire time, terrified that she might suffer even the slightest injury.
"I... I'm fine..."
Ning Rongrong finally snapped back to reality.
Before the two could catch their breath, the shadow from above enveloped them once more. They saw the Titan Giant Ape raise its arm high and slam it down violently toward Ning Rongrong!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before the fist even landed, a series of sonic booms erupted. A vacuum formed in its wake, and the violent airflow created a convex arc as it struck down with devastating force!
"Get out of here!"
Lin Fan shoved Ning Rongrong out of the attack range and hurriedly activated his martial soul. As six soul rings emerged beneath his feet, he let out a roar, concentrating all the soul power in his body into his arms!
BOOM!
The Titan Giant Ape's mountain-like fist slammed into Lin Fan's hands. His body was instantly driven into the soil, and the Titan Giant Ape's force, undiminished, left a crater over five meters in diameter in the ground!
"Lin Fan...!"
"Husband!"
Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu let out cries of agony that sounded like the weeping of a cuckoo!
Ning Rongrong, in particular, had a face as pale as a sheet, and tears instantly blurred her vision.
"The three of you, go! I'll hold him off!"
The next moment, a figure flew out of the mud pit; Lin Fan landed in front of the ladies.
His clothes were tattered, the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers had split open, and his body couldn't help but tremble!
"Xiao Wu, quick, take them both and go! Find a safe place and leave by helicopter!"
Lin Fan tossed his storage soul tool to Xiao Wu and urged her urgently.
"Husband, I will not leave you behind to face this alone!"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood by Lin Fan's side simultaneously, their eyes filled with determination.
As they spoke, the Titan Giant Ape let out another roar and charged toward them!
"Fifth Soul Skill: Ancestral Dragon Heaven-Opening Seal!"
Lin Fan had no time to think. His fifth, pitch-black soul ring flared, and he thrust his hands forward violently. A golden seal of light flew toward the Titan Giant Ape's massive body!
BOOM!
With a violent explosion, a terrifying wave of energy, like crashing waves against a shore, slammed into the Titan Giant Ape's chest!
Its massive body was forced backward, and the towering trees in its path were mowed down like wheat!
"Staying here won't help; it only forces me to divide my attention to protect you! Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, hurry and take Rongrong away!"
Taking advantage of the moment the Titan Giant Ape was pushed back, Lin Fan urged them again anxiously.
"No, I won't go! The Titan Giant Ape's target is likely me. The three of you should leave!"
Ning Rongrong's expression was conflicted, but she finally gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Rongrong, what are you saying?! Since you chose to stay by my side, I must protect your safety!"
Lin Fan said resolutely.
"Then I should stay even more! At the very least, I can help you deal with this monster!"
Ning Rongrong was incredibly insistent, refusing to leave no matter what!
Roar!
A heaven-shaking roar erupted as the Titan Giant Ape, having been repelled by Lin Fan, suddenly leaped high into the air. It crashed down from above like a small mountain, its target once again being Ning Rongrong!
Lin Fan did not hesitate, immediately scooping up Ning Rongrong and fleeing into the distance!
Bang!
Just as he leaped away, the Titan Giant Ape's fists slammed down. A deep pit over ten meters in diameter instantly appeared where they had been standing, and a terrifying shockwave of energy, accompanied by soil and tree trunks, slammed violently into Lin Fan's back!
Lin Fan flew through the air while holding Ning Rongrong. Seeing that they were about to collide with a tree trunk ahead, he ignored the pain in his back and gritted his teeth, spinning 180 degrees in mid-air!
Boom, boom, boom!
Lin Fan's body flew like a cannonball, snapping five or six tree trunks before rolling over twenty meters along the ground before finally coming to a stop!
Ning Rongrong felt the world spinning, yet she remained protected within a warm embrace. A moment later, she felt a warm liquid land on her cheek; she touched it with her hand and found it covered in bright red...
"Are you alright? Sorry, I got your face dirty!"
Lin Fan shielded Ning Rongrong beneath him, struggling to pull his lips into an incredibly ugly smile before reaching out a hand to slowly wipe the blood from her face.
"You... why would you risk everything to save me..."
Looking at Lin Fan's face, Ning Rongrong's vision was already blurred, and she felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her heart!
She did not understand why this man before her would risk his life to save her without a moment's hesitation.
"Our Rongrong is the most beautiful, most adorable girl in the world; how could I bear to let you get hurt..."
No sooner had Lin Fan finished speaking than the deafening roar of the Titan Giant Ape echoed from not far away!
"You beast, do you really think I, Lin Fan, am afraid of you?!"
The gentleness on Lin Fan's face vanished completely. He stood up to shield Ning Rongrong, his sixth crimson spirit ring flashing wildly as an unrivaled wave of energy radiated from his body!
