Chapter 2008 - 467: A Gentle Sword Strike

A vast swarm of Fire Flame Ant Beasts surged forward, completely encircling Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan unleashed astonishing strength, slaughtering all around, leaving the Fire Flame Ant Beast army utterly defeated.

Yet, the army of Fire Flame Ant Beasts showed no fear, continuing their advance.

This kind of wheel tactic could be deadly for Lin Yifan, who was alone.

The Fire Flame Ant Beasts reproduce quickly and cultivate rapidly, so even if he slaughtered many of them, it wouldn't inflict substantial damage to their numbers.

Therefore, he couldn't continue like this; he had to find a way to escape.

After cutting a bloody path, he swiftly fled, flying to distant lands.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Clusters of Fire Flame Ant Beasts flapped their wings, pursuing relentlessly, vowing to kill this thief Lin Yifan.

Shortly after leaving the Ant Beast World, Lin Yifan unexpectedly encountered a group of people.

Their attire was similar, suggesting they were students from the highest academy in Weiji Country.

Lin Yifan was uninterested in this group and swiftly passed by them.

However, upon seeing Lin Yifan pursued by a swarm of Fire Flame Ant Beasts, the group speculated that he might have stolen from them or angered them.

Either scenario meant he was their enemy because Lin Yifan's attire revealed he was not a cultivator from Weiji Country.

The Fire Flame Ant Beasts were extraordinarily lethal and sometimes indiscriminate; if they lingered here, they would surely be caught in the chaos.

Without delay, they quickly moved aside, then joined the Fire Flame Ant Beasts in pursuing the unfamiliar man.

Lin Yifan was incredibly fast, soon leaving the Fire Flame Ant Beasts far behind.

However, the Fire Flame Ant Beasts had keen senses and could detect the scent of their target even from several kilometers away.

Thus, the danger had not yet vanished.

He managed to shake off the Fire Flame Ant Beasts, but the cultivators from Weiji Country's highest academy became a headache.

After all, among them was a Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert; no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun them.

After leaving the Fire Flame Ant Beasts behind, this group pursued him, shouting, "Halt!"

"Halt, my ass, do I know you?" Lin Yifan retorted, continuing his escape.

"Dammit, ungrateful punk."

The Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert of the group couldn't hold back, launching an attack on Lin Yifan.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan had no choice but to stop and exchange a few blows with them.

"Bang bang bang!"

After several powerful strikes, the attacked Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert was shocked.

Lin Yifan, merely a Great Immortal Second Realm cultivator, was fighting evenly with a Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert.

More terrifyingly, the expert felt a strain on his abilities.

His companions, who were chasing, saw him immobile and barked, "What are you waiting for? Get in there!"

"Princess, this guy is too abnormal; perhaps we should call the elders from the academy to handle him?"

He was the personal guard of the Weiji Country Princess, his responsibility solely to protect her.

"Useless, you can't even handle a Great Immortal Second Realm cultivator." The Weiji Country Princess snapped, then glared at Lin Yifan, declaring, "Let me take you on!"

Facing such a young and inexperienced girl, Lin Yifan held back, giving her a light swipe with his sword as a gesture of respect.

"Ugh!"

The Weiji Country Princess clutched her chest; though she didn't spew blood, her lips were stained with a trickle of crimson.

Her face was aghast as she finally understood why her guard had said such things.

This man's power was extraordinary; she couldn't match his casual strike even being at the Great Immortal Second Realm.

"Hmph, presumptuous!"

With a cold snort, Lin Yifan continued his path, swiftly leaving the area.

Witnessing this, the Weiji Country Princess immediately ordered her entourage to inform the academy elders to assemble here, also instructing her guard to secretly tail Lin Yifan.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The army of Fire Flame Ant Beasts pursued once more.

Not daring to delay, this group promptly fled.

After frantically maneuvering in the Jitian Rainforest for over ten minutes, Lin Yifan believed he had thoroughly evaded the Fire Flame Ant Beasts.

However, troubles kept coming.

During his escape, he noticed someone tracking him, though he didn't see them, it was likely that group from earlier.

Unless he removed this group, he couldn't tend to Lei Ming with peace of mind.

Thus, he stopped and vanished among the trees.

The relentless personal guard of the Weiji Country Princess, amazed to find Lin Yifan suddenly disappeared without a trace a hundred meters ahead, was shocked.

He hurried forward, investigating where Lin Yifan could have gone.

Upon reaching the spot where Lin Yifan had vanished, he couldn't find any signs of him, nor could he sense Lin Yifan's presence.

As he stood bewildered, a cold voice laced with hostility and killing intent sounded behind him, "Who are you looking for?"

He jolted, quickly turning to face behind.

But what awaited him was a merciless sword.

"Slash!"

He was killed with a sword to the throat, dying without understanding.

After dispatching the Great Immortal Fifth Realm guard, Lin Yifan fixed his direction and sped toward it.

He had just left less than a minute when a group of dignitaries arrived at the spot where he killed the Great Immortal Fourth Realm guard.

This group was the elders from Weiji Country's highest academy, all at the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

Upon discovering the Princess's guard's corpse, they sensed the gravity of the situation.

They had assumed that the Princess's guard could follow the Kingdom of Leizhen cultivator for hours; even if discovered, he should hold out for half an hour. Surprisingly, it hadn't even been ten minutes.

Additionally, baffling them further was the lack of wounds on the guard's body; the fatal injury was merely a sword to the throat.

This seemed to suggest the Princess's guard was killed by a swift slash to the throat.

A mere Great Immortal Second Realm cultivator being able to kill a Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert with one strike was beyond their imagination.

This was a formidable enemy; henceforth, they must proceed with greater caution.

The Weiji Country Princess arrived shortly after, shocked at the death of her guard.

When she learned the guard had been killed with a single strike to the throat, she was even more incredulous.

"How can it be? He was a Great Immortal Fourth Realm expert; how could he be beaten by a Great Immortal Second Realm brat?"

"Princess, don't dwell on it; finding that kid is the priority." The elders of Weiji Country's highest academy consoled her.

"You must find that wicked thief and bring him before me!" The Weiji Country Princess commanded, seething with hate.

"Yes!"

The elders of Weiji Country's highest academy immediately took action, dispersing to find Lin Yifan.

...

After several dozen minutes, Lin Yifan returned to the Spirit Beast Cave where Lei Ming was housed.

It was intact and hadn't been discovered; Lei Ming should be fine.

Clearing away the underbrush and crossing the array, he entered the Spirit Beast Cave and saw Lei Ming.
