Chapter 1005: Backing Down, Truly Backing Down

"Demon Lord, did you hear what my big brother said? He told you to come and die." Qiu Zhanyu roared.

Lin Fan frowned. This Demon Lord was quite arrogant, still not moving at all. Could it be that he didn't take Lin Fan seriously?

This was really awkward.

"Big brother, this guy doesn't seem to take us seriously." Jin Zhengu said angrily.

They hadn't expected that one day they would be so domineering, following their big brother and directly challenging a Mystic Immortal realm expert. This situation was truly imposing.

"Courting death."

Lin Fan's brow tightened. The sword intent he had been cultivating suddenly erupted, a transparent sword intent shooting into the sky, then instantly slashing toward the Demon Lord seated in the void.

The sharp sword intent was unstoppable, causing the entire abyss void to tremble.

"Big brother is so strong!" Qiu Zhanyu and the other exclaimed in shock.

Puchi!

Wherever the sword intent passed, none could block it. It directly slew the Demon Lord in an instant, his body violently exploding into a pool of blood that scattered between heaven and earth.

"Big brother is amazing!" The two marveled.

Lin Fan was also somewhat puzzled. What the hell? Could this be the legendary Demon Lord? But he was way too weak.

He had been killed with a single sword strike.

Simple, too simple.

It was almost hard to believe.

But strange—why hadn't the system notification sounded after killing this Demon Lord?

At that moment, Lin Fan's mind raced.

Could it be that this Demon Lord had already been severely wounded and died earlier? And the seductress on the ground didn't know, still thinking the Demon Lord was alive, luring people in?

Damn!

What a loss, getting nothing at all. Truly a dog's move.

"Who..."

Just then, an earth-shattering roar suddenly echoed through the surrounding void.

Just the sound alone caused the entire void to shake.

A monstrous demonic aura suddenly erupted from underground. This aura condensed into a solid form, eventually turning into a pair of demonic eyes. These demonic eyes looked down upon heaven and earth, then swept their gaze over Lin Fan and the others standing there.

"I didn't expect someone else to come seeking death..."

Lin Fan, who had been feeling puzzled, was instantly stunned when he saw those demonic eyes.

And the two brothers, Qiu Zhanyu, who had just felt very domineering, were now completely dumbfounded, their legs starting to tremble.

"B-big brother, w-what is this?" Qiu Zhanyu stammered.

Lin Fan swallowed hard, feeling like he wanted to die.

Only now did Lin Fan realize that the thing earlier wasn't the Demon Lord at all, but a sacrifice the Demon Lord used to heal.

"Damn your ancestors!" Lin Fan roared inwardly, then suddenly grabbed the two and said, "Run!"

Although he hadn't seen the Demon Lord's true form, just from those demonic eyes and the demonic aura that had erupted from underground, Lin Fan was already convinced.

This was simply not something he could face at his current level.

This was truly a great demon!

"Since you're here, then come in. It seems you've seen through the bait I arranged. Do you think that because I'm injured, you ants can suppress me?"

Boom!

The earth split open, and from within, pitch-black pillars shot out one after another, completely sealing off all directions.

"Let's fly." Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all, directly intending to vanish into the void.

But when Lin Fan looked up, just about to enter the void, he found that the void was crisscrossed with red ribbons slithering about.

These red ribbons, like pythons, writhed continuously, densely packed and intertwined, as if being bound by them would mean certain death.

At this moment, Lin Fan swallowed his saliva, feeling a pang of agony—was he digging his own grave, about to die here?

"Demon Lord, a misunderstanding! We came to deliver medicine."

Then, Lin Fan, who had been silent for a moment, suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Heh, do you take me for a fool?" The voice came again from beneath the earth, laced with contempt.

"Demon Lord, a misunderstanding! The three of us are utterly sincere toward you. We truly came to deliver medicine. This Universe-Defying Healing Saint Pill can help you recover from your injuries. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself." Without any hesitation, Lin Fan tossed the Liyun Pill over.

The pill vanished into the void, as if caught by an invisible hand.

Then, the void fell silent again.

For a long time, there was no sound.

"Big brother, what do we do?" Qiu Zhanyu asked, a little scared.

Jinzhengu kept nodding too—it was damn terrifying.

"Don't panic." Lin Fan held his breath, also wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Just from this aura, this Demon Lord was not someone he could handle.

This aura had definitely surpassed Mystic Immortal. As for how strong it was, he really didn't know. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't know.

Sure enough, before long, a voice filled with surprise and supreme authority came through.

"Do you have any more of these pills?" The Demon Lord roared, as if sensing the pill's benefits.

"Yes, yes. We came this time to help you heal your injuries." Lin Fan shouted.

"Good, truly good. As long as you provide me with enough pills, I will take you as a disciple and make you a great demon of the world." The Demon Lord spoke.

"Thank you, Demon Lord. I'm so moved I could cry." Lin Fan wiped the corner of his eye, then took out another handful of pills. "Demon Lord, this is the last batch. I hope it will be useful to you."

He tossed the handful of pills, which again vanished into the world.

Lin Fan lowered his head, his mind beginning to churn.

"What to do? What the hell to do? If this doesn't work, we're really screwed." Lin Fan thought to himself.

This was completely a bad start. Out on his adventures, he had just killed a True Immortal mid-stage powerhouse and become a True Immortal himself, but who would have thought that entering this underground place to grab a big advantage would end up with this Demon Lord being a total freak, completely beyond expectations.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu were now completely dumbfounded. The situation had changed too fast.

They hadn't expected that just after acknowledging a big brother, they would have to accompany him in courting death.

Boom!

Sure enough, before long, a powerful aura suddenly erupted.

"Good, I didn't expect these pills to restore two-tenths of my injuries. Very good..." The Demon Lord's voice came through, filled with excitement.

Originally, the Demon Lord was severely injured. Without these pills, it would have taken at least a hundred years to recover, but now he was two-tenths better.

"What's your name?" At that moment, a figure appeared in the world.

When Lin Fan saw this figure, he was stunned—what a damn enchanting man.

If this man were on Earth, he would definitely be the kind that girls and aunties would go wild over.

But this was the Endless Continent, and the Demon Lord before him was absolutely a ruthless and merciless character.

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, this humble one is Lin Fan." Lin Fan shouted, then secretly glanced at him.

Holy shit...

Golden Immortal Great Perfection.

That was an existence even more formidable than Mystic Immortal.

Damn, a Golden Immortal Great Perfection powerhouse, even if severely injured, could still easily kill him.
