Watching the demon, which passed directly through the crowd without being touched, Lin Fan cursed inwardly.
Damn it, with so many people, why did you have to target me? What's wrong with you?
He looked around. Everyone was scared and scattered, but curiosity kept them watching from a distance.
Few people had seen a demon before, and they were very curious.
Lin Yu's consciousness attached to a clone. Seeing everyone retreat, he cursed inwardly, quickly calmed his mind, and ordered the clone to release his heart fire.
For now, only heart fire could harm souls; other skills were almost useless.
Although heart fire couldn't kill the demon, it was worth a try.
It didn't matter if it failed, as it was a clone and could be resurrected.
Hundreds of clones simultaneously released heart fire, instantly engulfing the sky with flames. The surroundings were scorched by waves of heat.
Rumble!!
The heart fire merged with the flame spray and shot out fiercely.
"Human brat, your heart fire level is too low; you can't hurt me."
He sneered, enduring the burning of the heart fire. The soul energy on his body transformed into tentacles and reached for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan, terrified, quickly retreated and let his puppet block. Unfortunately, the opponent's arm passed directly through the puppet's body.
Anything that couldn't harm the soul was useless against it.
The senior disciple frowned and used several skills, but they were all unable to hit the opponent.
"Bind!" At this moment, the Mojiang warrior shook the bell in his hand, and a soul-suppressing wave emanated.
Instantly, the demon's movements froze, and it looked at the warrior with a pained expression.
Everyone rejoiced, thinking the soul-suppressing wave was effective!
The Mojiang warrior immediately continued to shake the bell, emitting wave after wave of soul-suppressing energy, determined to subdue the demon.
The demon roared in anger.
"Human, you have angered me!"
Its rage surged, and black energy shot into the sky, obscuring an area of dozens of meters.
"This is bad. This demon is too strong; my treasure can't suppress it."
With that said, he put away the bell and retreated into the crowd.
The demon would not let him go. A soul hand reached out and, at extreme speed, pierced through the warrior's chest.
"Ah!" The Mojiang warrior screamed miserably, his life hanging by a thread.
Master Yun, witnessing this, was also angered by the demon's arrogance.
However, facing a creature as bizarre as a demon, even a thousand methods were of no use.
At this moment, another wisp of heart fire landed on the demon.
"Ah! Pain!" The demon let out a tragic cry. Forgetting the Mojiang warrior, it turned its ferocious eyes and lunged at Lin Fan.
In its eyes, among this group of identical-looking people, only Lin Fan possessed a complete soul. Furthermore, Lin Fan's soul was very special; it made the demon salivate. This was a type of soul it had never tasted before.
It was convinced that Lin Fan's soul would be incredibly delicious, and by killing Lin Fan, these clones would disappear.
It mistook Lin Fan for the main body.
However, flames landing on its body caused it to scream in pain.
Lin Fan looked at the demon within arm's reach and thought, It's over. My first death will be at the hands of a demon.
The next moment, a voice echoed in his ear, startling him.
"Let him devour!" It was Lin Yu's voice.
Lin Fan nodded silently and closed his eyes.
Everyone was stunned, watching as the demon slowly merged into Lin Fan's forehead. They were powerless to use their abilities, filled with self-reproach and anger.
"It's over. Lin Fan's soul will be devoured!"
"Alas, what a shame. Lin Fan's puppet talent was praised by even Lord Yuzhe."
"Fate and luck, bad luck means everything is lost."
"Remember this day. It is Lin Fan's memorial day. Next year, we will form a group to visit his grave."
"I will provide the first shovel of soil for his grave!"
"Then I will kowtow first. After all, he once saved me."
"Alas, I hope Lin Yu isn't too sad."
Everyone sighed in unison, mourning Lin Fan.
Their hearts were heavy with grief for Lin Fan's death.
Two days ago, Lin Yu had held the line alone to save them, and miraculously, Lin Yu had survived. But today, the miracle would not happen again.
Because those who were devoured by a demon had no hope of resurrection.
And those who could break free from a demon were extremely rare.
Unless Lin Fan's soul energy was too strong and could counterattack the demon, even devouring it.
But this was impossible. A demon's soul was innately several times, even dozens of times, stronger than a human's.
And this was a demon of a higher rank than Lin Fan, making the chances of survival even smaller.
"Alas~"
Sighs echoed across the sky.
Almost everyone believed Lin Fan was doomed.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Look at Lin Fan, quickly!"
Everyone who had lowered their heads, unable to bear witness, raised them upon hearing the words.
Then, they saw a scene they would never forget.
A giant arm made of soul emerged from behind Lin Fan.
Without hesitation, the arm grabbed the demon.
The demon was greatly alarmed and struggled desperately, but the arm was as firm as rock, unmoving. No matter how the demon struggled, it could not break free.
At this moment, Lin Fan opened his eyes, his gaze as cold as frost, devoid of any emotion.
"Die!" Lin Fan uttered the word softly.
His palm began to tighten. The demon felt the suffocation of death and finally became scared.
"Don't kill me, I don't want to die! I'll give you whatever you want!"
"Cultivation methods, secret techniques, even secrets of the demon realm, I can tell you!"
"Don't....."
Before he could finish speaking, the palm continued to move, and the soul within it quietly shattered.
Watching the demon's body dissolve into specks of starlight and vanish, while Feng Lei's corpse also thudded to the ground, everyone was utterly shocked.
With a clatter, a crystal the size of a baby's fist fell to the ground.
Lin Fan picked it up expressionlessly and put it in his pocket.
Suddenly, he stiffened, his eyes gradually returning to normal.
He looked around and realized he had truly escaped danger, feeling immensely excited.
Although he didn't know how his main body had saved him, the power that crushed the demon just now was too immense! It was definitely not his main body.
He couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it.
Having survived a death threat, he was overjoyed and laughed heartily:
"Haha, you dare to mess with me? Don't you know who I am?"
He stood with his hands on his hips, looking invincible.
"Who else~~~"
He tilted his head, pointed at the people around him, and shouted loudly.
Everyone was speechless, unable to bear watching his performance; it was too much.
The senior disciple walked over and checked Lin Fan's body. Seeing that Lin Fan was indeed unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was quite familiar with Lin Fan, having lived together in Jicheng before. He was very fond of Lin Fan, Lin Yu's brother.
He patted Lin Fan on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you're okay."
"Haha, I am a person of destiny; how could I possibly die!" he laughed.
Seeing his optimistic demeanor, everyone laughed along.
"Speaking of which, Lin Fan has such a good personality. I'd love to introduce my daughter to him."
"Old Li, you have a daughter? How did I not know? You also know, my son..."
"Your son being single is none of my business!"
"We can become in-laws! You have a daughter, I have a son. Your family is wealthy, mine is poor. Your daughter is beautiful, my son is a bit ugly, but he has good character. Our families are a perfect match!"
"Get lost! Absolutely not!"
"Look quickly, the enforcement team is here!"
