"Cough, cough, cough!"
Blackwater Martial Lord knelt down abruptly on both knees.
He propped himself up with his hands on the ground.
He vomited large mouthfuls of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.
He struggled to look up, his eyes hollow, gazing at Ling Fan with utter shock.
To this day, he couldn't believe that he, the leader of the Three Kings Hall and a ranked expert on the East Lin Martial Lord List, would suffer such a humiliating defeat in a remote corner like Xuan Yue Island!
"I'll drag you down with me even if I die! Let's die together!"
Blackwater Martial Lord grinned ferociously, his expression manic. The Golden Core within him suddenly emitted a destructive aura. If his Golden Core were to fully self-detonate, it could raze half of Xuan Yue Island to the ground. Ling Fan, being so close, had no chance of escaping.
However, at that very moment.
The Myriad Law Yuan Flow within Ling Fan surged out, instantly spreading into Blackwater Martial Lord's body and enveloping his Golden Core.
"Hmph!"
Blackwater Martial Lord's eyes widened in horror.
Just now, he had completely lost all sensation of his Golden Core, as if it had vanished into thin air.
"What did you do!"
Blackwater Martial Lord roared.
Ling Fan let out a cold smile and said, "I was about to use your Golden Core to enhance my cultivation, so how could I let you self-detonate?"
With that, the Myriad Law Yuan Flow, carrying Blackwater Martial Lord's Golden Core, instantly left his body and fell into Ling Fan's hand.
Blackwater Martial Lord let out a pained cry, his eyes gradually losing focus, transforming into a cold corpse.
"Although this Golden Core is of too low a grade, practically the most garbage Golden Core, it's still a Golden Core of a peak Martial Lord. It should be enough to significantly boost the Myriad Law Yuan Flow."
Ling Fan toyed with a golden bead the size of a fist in his hand. Its golden luster was impure, marred by many dark spots, and it lacked the solidity of a high-grade Golden Core.
Clearly, the cultivation environment in the Nine Hua Realm was too poor, and the Golden Cores condensed by martial artists would not be of high grade.
Ling Fan fiddled with it for a moment before tossing the Golden Core into the Myriad Law Yuan Flow. The Myriad Law Yuan Flow instantly swallowed it.
As the Myriad Law Yuan Flow continuously absorbed the law power within this Golden Core, it rapidly expanded at a visible rate.
The surging Dharma power flowing within also became increasingly refined and potent.
Ling Fan did not linger for long, as it was not the time to refine the Golden Core.
He withdrew the Myriad Law Yuan Flow into his body, allowing it to slowly absorb the power of the Golden Core.
Following that, Ling Fan straightened up and extricated himself from the black ocean.
At this moment.
On the battlefield.
Everyone stared intently at the black ocean. They suddenly saw a figure emerge from within.
The people of Giant Whale City rejoiced.
They excitedly congratulated each other, saying, "Haha, Lord Blackwater Martial Lord has dealt with that brat and come out!"
"I knew it, how could Lord Blackwater Martial Lord not handle that brat? He's a peak Golden Core expert! A top-tier expert of the East Lin Domain."
"Now, let's see if those people from Xuan Yue Island dare to resist!"
"It's good that this brat is dead. He dared to oppose us from Giant Whale City, and this is his fate."
Just as they were feeling pleased.
But the next moment, when the figure fully appeared, the smiles on their faces immediately froze, becoming a hundred times more unsightly than crying.
Because the person who appeared.
Was Ling Fan!
"How is this possible!"
The experts from Giant Whale City were all dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
"Brat, I ask you, where is Lord Blackwater Martial Lord? Speak quickly! Where did Lord Blackwater Martial Lord go?"
A Condensing Core realm expert from Giant Whale City, unable to accept this reality, asked.
From afar, Toad looked at the Giant Whale City Condensing Core realm expert with the gaze of an idiot, curling his lips and sneering, "Damn, with your IQ, how did you cultivate to the Condensing Core realm? If the old donkey Blackwater Martial Lord didn't come out, it means he was dealt with by our Boss Ling, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't old donkey Blackwater come out? Could he be squatting down there to defecate?"
Although Toad's words were unpleasant, no one could refute them.
In fact, those from Giant Whale City already knew the outcome in their hearts.
They just couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it.
Conversely, on the side of Xuan Yue Island.
Xuan Sheng, Xuan Kui, Xuan Na, and all the other experts exchanged glances, their faces showing the ecstasy of having survived a disaster!
Ling Fan had won.
Xuan Yue Island was saved.
Blackwater Martial Lord was originally the biggest threat, but now that Blackwater Martial Lord was dead, who else could stop Ling Fan?
This was a super prodigy who could even kill a peak Golden Core expert! An unparalleled prodigy!
Not all people from Xuan Yue Island were this happy.
Xuan Ye and Li Mobing remained silent, their expressions as distressed as if they had eaten feces.
Their eyes revealed an immense jealousy.
Why, why was this brat so strong!
Heaven was too unfair.
On the side of Ding Hui, the City Lord of Giant Whale City.
His expression was filled with uncertainty. He looked at Ling Fan, then at the slowly disappearing black ocean beneath Ling Fan's feet, and boundless unwillingness surged in his heart.
He had meticulously planned for so long, even risking greatly to invite Blackwater Martial Lord to guard the place, but now it had all come to naught because of this Ling Fan. Thinking of this, Ding Hui's hatred was like a continuous river, never-ending!
Now that Blackwater Martial Lord was dead, his Giant Whale City forces alone were no match for this Ling Fan.
They would likely not only fail to annex Xuan Yue Island but also lose all their elite combat power here.
That would truly be losing both the wife and the soldiers.
Considering this, no matter how unwilling he was, Ding Hui immediately solidified his resolve to retreat.
As for Ling Fan, they would have to request the intervention of the other two top experts from the Three Kings Hall.
"Retreat!"
Ding Hui suddenly roared, then resolutely turned and fled.
The other experts from Giant Whale City were stunned for a moment before following suit.
Xuan Sheng hesitated whether to pursue them.
Ling Fan glanced at him indifferently and said, "Island Master Xuan, do not be overly merciful. Giant Whale City wanted to destroy your Xuan Yue Island. Do you still want to let these enemies who wanted to kill you go back?"
"This world is cruel. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. If you are weaker than them, you will be bullied and eaten. If you don't seize this opportunity to devour Giant Whale City in return, do you expect them to come back again!"
Ling Fan's words immediately awakened Xuan Sheng.
Xuan Sheng gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Kill!"
The Xuan Yue Island experts immediately became high-spirited.
They had suffered enough from Giant Whale City's arrogance, and the two sides had already formed a deep enmity. Now that they had the chance for revenge, they would not let this great opportunity pass.
The Xuan Yue Island experts immediately pursued them.
Ling Fan, on the other hand, set his sights on the Golden Core experts from Giant Whale City.
If he could refine the Golden Cores of these ten Martial Lord experts from Giant Whale City, coupled with the Golden Core of Blackwater Martial Lord, his Myriad Law Yuan Flow, even if it couldn't reach perfection, should still expand significantly.
