Chapter 159: The Heavenly Demon Tiger Bone—It's Mine!
"Get someone who can actually make decisions to come talk!"
Lin Fan glanced at the four blocking his path and spoke calmly.
The moment his voice fell, a terrifying aura belonging to the Four-Fold Nirvana stage erupted from his body.
Boom!
In an instant, the air around them roared with explosive force.
The yuan power of heaven and earth surged wildly, forming a powerful storm.
The four half-step Nirvana cultivators from the Demon Tiger Dynasty and the Beast Dynasty were struck pale by the overwhelming pressure. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, stumbling backward before falling heavily to the ground.
Pfft!
The four coughed up blood in unison, their faces ghostly white.
After a long moment, they struggled to their feet, eyes filled with dread as they looked at Lin Fan.
"May we ask your name, senior? We'll inform our leaders immediately."
Lin Fan was about to respond when a fierce wave of battle fluctuations suddenly echoed from within Beast Valley.
His gaze sharpened. Turning to Lin Dong, he said, "I'm going ahead. You catch up quickly."
With that, he shot off toward Beast Valley in a flash.
Lin Dong nodded, leaping onto Xiao Yan's back. The two followed close behind, blazing across the sky as a streak of red light.
The four from the Demon Tiger and Beast Dynasties exchanged glances, all visibly shaken.
"Let's go alert the senior brothers!"
One of them barked the order, and they rushed toward the valley.
Against someone as powerful as Lin Fan, trying to stop him would be nothing short of suicide.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan blazed forward, his formidable aura sweeping across the mountain range. No beast or human dared approach him.
Soon, he arrived at the center of Beast Valley.
There, two human cultivators were battling a massive humanoid creature with the head of a tiger.
There was no doubt—this was the ruler of Beast Valley, the Earth-Cracking Tiger.
The beast stood several meters tall like a small giant, towering over the two humans before it. Despite its size, however, it wasn't gaining the upper hand in the fight.
Both human cultivators radiated the aura of One Yuan Nirvana stage.
One wore gray robes with tiger-like markings on his face—this was Teng Hu, leader of the Demon Tiger Dynasty.
The other, clad in beast-hide and resembling a wild man, was the leader of the Beast Dynasty, named Chen Mo.
As Lin Fan suddenly appeared, the two men and the tiger beast all paused, warily turning toward him.
Teng Hu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to Beast Valley?"
"I am Lin Fan," he replied, casting a calm glance at the two of them. "That Heavenly Demon Tiger bone—you'll hand it over. The rest of you may leave."
Swish!
The faces of those from both dynasties instantly darkened.
The Earth-Cracking Tiger also let out a low growl, fury flashing in its eyes.
Yet it wasn't foolish. It didn't immediately lash out, hoping instead that Lin Fan would clash with the two dynasties and wear each other down.
"Lin Fan? The one who wiped out most of the Mo Rock Dynasty?" Teng Hu asked with narrowed eyes, still unsure.
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Word spreads quickly, doesn't it?"
Once confirmed, both Teng Hu and Chen Mo grew visibly tenser.
Based on Lin Fan's aura alone, it was clear he was stronger than either of them—but their cultivations weren't high enough to gauge his true level.
Chen Mo's eyes flickered. "If Brother Lin Fan wants the Heavenly Demon Tiger bone, that's fine. But how about we join forces to subdue the Earth-Cracking Tiger first?"
Chen Mo had only come to Beast Valley for the tiger itself. He wasn't concerned about the bone's ownership.
"You—!"
Teng Hu's expression changed drastically. He shouted angrily at Chen Mo.
The two dynasties had agreed beforehand: the Heavenly Demon Tiger bone would go to the Demon Tiger Dynasty, and the Earth-Cracking Tiger to the Beast Dynasty.
Now Chen Mo was throwing that agreement aside to side with Lin Fan, leaving the Demon Tiger Dynasty with nothing!
No wonder Teng Hu was furious.
"That's not a bad proposal," Lin Fan said with a faint smile. He then looked at the Earth-Cracking Tiger. "Still, if you hand over the bone, I won't interfere in the rest."
"In your dreams!"
The Earth-Cracking Tiger roared, eyes gleaming with killing intent. With a furious bellow, a crimson energy surged from its body.
Boom!
It stomped the ground and shot forward like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the air and appearing in front of Lin Fan in a blink, unleashing a massive tiger punch!
Chen Mo had been a little worried earlier that the tiger might strike a deal with Lin Fan. That would make his goal more difficult.
But seeing the beast attack Lin Fan directly, he couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Lin Fan's reputation was fierce, but now they'd get to see how strong he really was. Regardless of who won, Chen Mo would benefit either way.
"What a waste," Lin Fan said, shaking his head slightly.
With a flick of his hand, yuan power surged into his palm and quickly condensed into a giant energy hand that met the Earth-Cracking Tiger's fist head-on.
Rumble!
The clash triggered a thunderous boom that sent the energy of the heavens into a frenzy!
Bang!
The sound of the collision echoed across the valley.
Then, the Earth-Cracking Tiger was blasted backward like a broken kite, crashing heavily to the ground.
Roar!
It let out a pained howl, then turned and fled toward the depths of the mountains without looking back.
Everyone from the Demon Tiger and Beast Dynasties stared at Lin Fan in stunned silence.
They had witnessed the tiger's power themselves—two One Yuan Nirvana stage experts had struggled against it in a drawn-out fight.
Yet Lin Fan had defeated it with a single, casual move—without even using any martial technique.
The gap was simply too vast!
Even Teng Hu and Chen Mo were now looking at Lin Fan with fear and respect.
At that moment, Lin Dong arrived with the four half-step Nirvana cultivators.
"Senior Brother, there's an intruder!"
One of the Beast Dynasty's half-step Nirvana experts shouted upon seeing Chen Mo.
"An intruder? Are you talking about me?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and glanced in their direction.
The moment he looked their way, everyone from the Beast Dynasty—including Chen Mo—felt a chill run down their spines.
