Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Attempted Robbery Turns into Getting Robbed
The existence of the Spirit Eye transformed Fang Lin’s abilities beyond the comprehension of the ordinary.
Not to mention, Fang Lin’s Spirit Eye had matured, gradually approaching the existence of the Heavenly Eye, its power unimaginable.
If any one of the eight men had possessed the Spirit Eye, then that person could have turned the tables, and they would not have been completely subdued.
Regrettably, none of these eight men had a Spirit Eye; their aptitude didn’t even come close to touching that realm.
At this moment, Fang Lin had exhibited the power of the Spirit Eye, absolute in its oppression, restricting the actions of the eight men.
Without a shred of mercy, Fang Lin whipped out his large bone club and charged directly into the midst of the eight men.
After a tumultuous struggle, the eight men were powerlessly helpless against the Spirit Eye’s awe-inspiring power. Within a few exchanges, they were beaten and thrown to the ground by Fang Lin.
A Tyrant King Sect martial artist of the Second Heavenly Origin Layer felt wronged. If it were a one-on-one face-off with Fang Lin, he wouldn’t have lost.
But because of the Spirit Eye’s existence, the rules of fair play were nullified.
If you don’t have a Spirit Eye, then there’s nothing to argue about; you would undoubtedly be suppressed by Fang Lin’s Spirit Eye.
Of course, the Spirit Eye was not invincible. If it faced a powerhouse of the Fifth Heavenly Origin Layer, then the Spirit Eye’s effect would be minimal. The gap in their realms was too vast, greatly diminishing the Spirit Eye’s power.
“What a pathetic Turtle Sect, you can’t take a beating,” Fang Lin sneered, swinging his large bone club disdainfully.
Scattered on the ground were the battered martial artists of the Tyrant King Sect; some dead, others still clinging to life, though wailing in pain from their serious injuries.
Zhou Zhishui and the Pill Alliance genius were appalled. Fang Lin was surprisingly formidable; effortlessly, he had brought more than a dozen Tyrant King Sect martial artists to their knees.
These were not just ordinary men, but experts, and they were all knocked down by Fang Lin, a Ninth Layer Earth Element cultivator?
If they had not witnessed it with their own eyes, Zhou Zhishui and the Pill Alliance genius would not have believed it.
“Hey, was the Crown Prince this badass when he was at my level of cultivation?” Fang Lin suddenly turned towards Zhou Zhishui and teased.
Zhou Zhishui snorted, replying curtly, “The Crown Prince was ten times better than you!”
“Pssh, who would believe that!” Fang Lin retorted disdainfully, disregarding Zhou Zhishui’s words.
Naturally, Zhou Zhishui was also blustering. Even Crown Prince Zhou Yishui hadn’t been as powerful as Fang Lin during his time at the Ninth Earth Element Layer. Defeating three to four Heavenly Origin warriors was already an exceptional feat.
What Fang Lin had accomplished, defeating more than a dozen Heavenly Origin martial artists at the same time, was simply monstrous.
Of course, Fang Lin’s terrifying achievement was largely due to the power of the Spirit Eye. Had he not activated the Spirit Eye, Fang Lin would never have been able to simultaneously defeat so many Heavenly Origin powerhouses.
As a result, the Tyrant King Sect’s original advantage in numbers had suddenly been reversed, causing Huang Batian’s heart to consecutively convulse. Would it really be their misfortune to encounter these weak Pill Refiners from the Pill Alliance, thinking they could make a killing, only to find that they were not at all pushovers, but rather tough and unyielding iron plates?
This time, Huang Batian genuinely felt like he’d struck an iron plate.
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute!” Huang Batian withdrew, hastily addressing the Pill Alliance Steward who was still eager to fight.
“What? Seeing the situation has turned? Now you know to be afraid?” The highest-ranked Pill Alliance Steward sneered.
Huang Batian’s face turned white, then green. Indeed, he was scared. They had lost so many men and gained nothing. Should they continue to fight, they all might end up annihilated here.
Huang Batian did not want to die, let alone to die in such a deserted place. If he were to die, he might not even leave a complete corpse behind.
The other four Heavenly Origin martial artists also stopped, standing behind Huang Batian. At this moment, the only Tyrant King Sect members left standing were the five of them.
At this moment, the five looked as if they had swallowed dead mice, sporting extremely ugly expressions.
“This… this is a misunderstanding.” After a long pause, Huang Batian finally uttered this sentence.
The others all laughed. After fighting for so long, Huang Batian was playing it off as a misunderstanding? Was Huang Batian an idiot, or were they supposed to be the fools?
“That Wangba Tian, you said this is a misunderstanding? If this is a misunderstanding, should you show some sincerity and apologize?” Fang Lin said this with a smile, appearing harmless. But in truth, six to seven of the Tyrant King Sect members who were lying on the ground had been killed by him.
Huang Batian, hearing Fang Lin call him ‘Wangba Tian’, almost went crooked with anger. He wished he could chop up Fang Lin.
“My name is Huang Batian!”
“Sure, sure, Wangba Tian.”
“…”
Huang Batian wanted to cry. Fang Lin wasn’t playing fair with him.
“Cut the crap! You have two choices: either leave your lives behind or leave the Nine Palace Bags. Go ahead and choose; we don’t have all day. This Commandery Princess is getting impatient and could produce a priceless treasure to suppress you at any moment.” Fang Lin impatiently retorted.
Zhou Zhishui and others were cynically observing Fang Lin. How could he be so adept at this dirty business? Could it be that he used to do things like this in the past?
Naturally, Huang Batian and his companions were hesitant about handing over their Nine Palace Bags. These bags were like their lives, who would willingly give them away?
“Sirs, please don’t go too far. If you push us too hard, no one will come out on top,” said Huang Batian solemnly.
Fang Lin sneered, “Do you even qualify to negotiate with us? Let me tell you the truth, I haven’t even unleashed my real powers yet, and there’s this lady. Do you know who she is? She’s a gender Commandery Princess of the royal family. She has lots of powerful treasures. Any one of them could wipe you out.”
With that, Fang Lin pointed at Zhou Zhishui, who was standing to one side.
Hearing this, Huang Batian was shocked. He hadn’t realized that among this group, there was a royal Commandery Princess.
At this moment, Huang Batian really wanted to slap himself. Of all the people to rob, he chose to rob this group. Did he really think that a Commandery Princess from the royal family would be easy to rob? Was there a single person from the royal family that was easy to mess with?
“I… I didn’t know it was you, Princess. My apologies!” Huang Batian hurriedly bowed, but looking at his clumsy movements, it was obvious he didn’t know what kind of bow to make.
Zhou Zhishui huffed and turned her head away, completely ignoring Huang Batian.
“Wangba Tian, we don’t have all day. Do you want to hand over the Nine Palace Bag or your life? Hurry up and decide. This Commandery Princess is getting impatient and could bust out a treasure to suppress you any moment now,” said Fang Lin, wearing a smile.
Huang Batian’s heart was filled with uncertainty. He didn’t know if Fang Lin was telling the truth or lying to him. What if he was deliberately deceiving him?
