Chapter 96: An Unrivaled Reward — Dazzling Violet Light!
[Ding! You touched Jiang Lei and obtained: Nirvana Golden Body!
Note: Upon use, instantly upgrades an ordinary body into a Nirvana Golden Body — no cultivation required.]
Nirvana Golden Body?!
Hearing the unexpected system reward, Lin Fan's heart trembled fiercely.
Normally, only those who reached the Nirvana Realm could forge such a body!
Its physical durability far surpassed even peak Creation Realm experts—
not even their full-force strikes could damage it!
Once he possessed a Nirvana Golden Body, as long as he didn't face a Nirvana Realm enemy… he'd be invincible.
"You little bastard, I'll bury you with my son!"
Luo Jiu glared murderously at Lin Fan, his voice resounding across the martial hall's courtyard!
As his words fell, dark red Yuan Power erupted from his body, sweeping out like a storm.
"Late-stage Form Creation Realm!"
The oppressive aura forced the surrounding onlookers to instinctively back away.
Faces turned grim; gasps filled the air.
Such strength made Luo Jiu a top-tier expert in the Great Wilderness Province, and virtually unmatched in Great Eagle City!
"Young Master Lin, be careful!"
Jiang Lei called out in warning and retreated to the side.
He had witnessed Lin Fan slay two Mist Leopard-Croc Kings with a single strike and knew the youth's strength.
So when Lin Fan chose to step up, he didn't try to stop him.
Lin Fan sensed the force rolling off Luo Jiu and focused his mind.
He nodded to Jiang Lei, then waved his right hand—
A purple longsword appeared in his palm.
Even against a lion, one uses full strength.
Lin Fan had full confidence he could defeat Luo Jiu—but he wasn't about to underestimate him.
"Die!"
Luo Jiu charged forward, twin hammers in hand.
Boom!
In a flash, he appeared before Lin Fan, his massive hammers crashing down like twin mountains, tearing through the air!
"He's using the Heaven-Earth Hammers right away?! He's serious about killing Lin Fan!"
Gasps erupted outside the Blood Vulture Martial Hall.
It was said that Luo Jiu once used those very hammers to kill another Form Creation Realm powerhouse.
"Dad… do you think Young Master Lin can win?"
Jiang Xue stood beside Jiang Lei, clutching her sleeve tightly.
Before he could respond, Yinyin chirped up,
"Big Brother will definitely beat that bad guy!"
As Luo Jiu's attack closed in, Lin Fan didn't even flinch.
His Thunder Sword flicked out—precise and lightning-fast, striking a single point on the incoming hammer.
Ding!
The clash rang out, and the force nearly disarmed Luo Jiu on the spot!
Immediately after, Lin Fan unleashed the first form of his Thunderflash Sword Art—
Boom!
A single sword—thunder exploded!
The Thunder Sword shot toward Luo Jiu's chest like a flash of lightning!
Luo Jiu's expression changed drastically.
At the last moment, he crossed his hammers over his chest—barely blocking the strike!
Ding!
Sparks flew again—
a long crack formed between the hammers!
One strike failed—Lin Fan didn't stop.
He kept repeating the same move—again and again.
It wasn't fancy.
Just one word: Speed.
So fast, so relentless—Luo Jiu could barely defend himself, let alone fight back!
This was still Lin Fan not fully mastering the sword art!
The onlookers were stunned.
From the very start, Luo Jiu had landed a single attack—then spent the rest of the fight on the defensive!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous sword strikes raked across the courtyard, leaving dozens of meter-deep gashes in the earth.
Even the aftermath of the sword energy forced the crowd to keep retreating, afraid of being caught by a stray strike.
"Young Master Lin is… too powerful!"
Jiang Xue's eyes were wide with admiration.
Jiang Lei nodded in awe. Even he felt a hint of reverence now when he looked at Lin Fan.
Then, just as Lin Fan pressed the assault—
He suddenly stopped.
He even closed his eyes, standing still with his sword held loosely in hand.
The crowd fell into confused murmurs.
"What's going on?"
"Why did he stop?"
"Is he out of Yuan Power?"
…
Jiang Lei and Jiang Xue both frowned in worry.
Luo Jiu, panting heavily, stared at Lin Fan with apprehension.
His clothes were in tatters, his body covered in blood.
A deep sword gash ran from his forehead down to his lips—he'd nearly been sliced in two!
He clenched the shattered hammers in his hands, and dark red Yuan Power began swirling around him like fire.
His eyes burned with fury, muscles bulging.
"Boom boom!"
Crimson Yuan Power erupted like a blazing tide, engulfing him completely.
The aura of a beast seeped into his expression.
His hands swelled—like massive ape claws—gripping the hammers tighter.
Jiang Lei's face paled.
"Be careful! He's activating Demonic Ape Transformation—it boosts his physical strength massively!"
The crowd shuddered.
"Die!!"
Luo Jiu howled like a beast and transformed into a streak of red light, hurtling toward Lin Fan!
Seeing this, Lin Dong tensed up and prepared to intercept—
But just then—
Lin Fan opened his eyes.
Still in sword stance, still perfectly calm.
Swish!
Suddenly, a streak of brilliant violet light flashed across the courtyard!
Too fast to follow. Too stunning to describe.
Thud.
Luo Jiu, mid-charge, was suddenly cleaved in half, falling to the ground in two neat pieces.
RUMBLE!!
A deafening explosion echoed from the Blood Vulture Martial Hall!
The crowd turned in shock—
A sword scar, over a hundred meters long and dozens of meters deep, had split the hall in two from Luo Jiu's final position!
Violet lightning still crackled within the massive gash.
Silence.
Total silence.
No one spoke.
No one moved.
Everyone stood frozen, as if death itself had passed them by.
