Chapter 305: Does Anyone Else Have an Objection?
Shiiing!
The razor-sharp water spears carried a terrifying, piercing force. In an instant, a few unlucky individuals were slashed open by the projectiles, blood spraying into the air.
Then, shrill screams erupted as pitch-black venom rapidly spread from the wounds.
Their bodies began to decay at an alarming speed—obviously victims of a deadly poison!
Plop!
Amidst their agonized cries, several figures fell into the lake, only to be dragged down into its depths by some unknown force. Even their screams were swallowed into silence.
Boom!
Just as those unfortunate souls vanished into the waters, an earth-shaking wave erupted from the lake's center.
All eyes turned to see a massive black shadow rise swiftly from beneath the surface, bursting through the water with a thunderous roar!
ROAR!
A monstrous beast broke through the lake's surface, casting a dark shadow over the surrounding hundred-zhang area. A horrifying aura surged outward like a storm, radiating its presence in every direction!
Everyone around the lake went rigid as they stared at the enormous creature that had finally revealed itself.
"The Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon… it's here."
Lin Dong's voice was solemn as he watched the colossal beast with three enormous heads.
From the flood dragon, he could feel a level of danger far beyond even what Yuan Cang had radiated back then.
Gu Yan and the other members of the Gu Clan stared at the beast, their expressions similarly grim—they were clearly under heavy pressure from its presence.
Crash!
Water cascaded from the sky like a downpour, splashing onto the ground and causing the earth itself to tremble under the sheer force of it.
The massive shadow loomed overhead as waves of killing intent spread from the flood dragon, unsettling everyone present.
Even just the portion of its body above the surface spanned several hundred zhang. Its crimson scales gleamed like impenetrable armor, covering its enormous frame.
Every twitch of its body released terrifying power.
Its three massive snake-like heads each bore a sharp, gleaming horn, their edges so cold and menacing that they seemed capable of tearing space itself.
Shiiing!
At that moment, the three crimson, ferocious eyes locked onto the cultivators surrounding the lake. The flood dragon's savage presence sent chills down their spines.
"You dare covet what belongs to this king? A bunch of fools courting death!"
The Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon opened its blood-filled maw and let out an icy, guttural growl that rolled through the air like thunder.
"Leave Xuanling Island immediately, or I'll kill you all—no matter where you're from!"
ROAR!
As the final words rang out, the flood dragon let out a furious roar and swept its body forward, releasing a terrifying burst of energy that surged like a hurricane.
In an instant, the trees surrounding the lake were uprooted by the violent winds—it was a truly terrifying display.
Facing such unbridled killing intent, many around the lake couldn't help but feel dread rise in their hearts.
After all, the flood dragon was a genuine Minor Mastery Life Xuan Stage spirit beast. With its powerful beast physique, it was likely no weaker than some human cultivators at the Great Mastery level.
Though the crowd was large, their goals were different, and they lacked unity. Even if they joined forces, their chances of victory were slim.
"What now? Are we really going to just walk away empty-handed?"
Voices filled with uncertainty and frustration rang out. Everyone here wanted the Life Xuanling Fruit, but aside from Lin Fan and Lin Dong, no one else felt confident in standing against the Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon.
Yet the thought of retreating without anything to show for it left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth.
"We should work together. Otherwise, no one's getting that fruit."
It was the one-armed man, Mo Zhan, who finally spoke—his voice raspy and low.
This was the first time he had said anything since arriving, and clearly, his words carried significant weight.
Many people immediately turned their gazes toward him.
Han Tao of the Haiyun Sect hesitated for a moment before turning to Gu Yan and asking, "What does the Gu Clan think?"
Gu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, then turned to look at Lin Fan beside her.
Seeing this, everyone instinctively followed her gaze. It was clear that the Gu Clan's stance rested entirely on Lin Fan's decision.
Lin Fan said calmly, "It's just a Minor Mastery Life Xuan Stage beast. No need for all the fuss—I can deal with it myself."
"And since I can handle the Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon alone, the six Life Xuanling Fruits naturally belong to me."
Uproar!
The crowd erupted at Lin Fan's words.
They hadn't expected his ambition to be this big—he actually intended to take all six fruits for himself.
Mo Zhan and Han Tao's expressions both darkened slightly.
"Your strength is impressive, no doubt," came a voice laced with provocation from the crowd. "But do you really think the rest of us are weaklings? We came from far and wide for the Life Xuanling Fruit, and now you want to keep it all for yourself? That's a bit much, isn't it?"
Another voice joined in. "The Gu Clan really doesn't think much of the other heroes gathered here, huh?"
Gu Yan's brow furrowed slightly as she glanced toward the speaker. "That's Lu Jian from Sword Heart Island," she whispered.
She had already introduced Lin Fan and Lin Dong to him earlier.
Lin Fan looked at Lu Jian and smiled faintly. "If you have an issue, feel free to step forward and say it to my face."
Being stared at by Lin Fan, Lu Jian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. Instinctively, he took several steps back.
Noticing the attention of the crowd falling on him, Lu Jian's face flushed with shame and anger. Gritting his teeth, he shouted:
"I admit, I'm no match for you—but if we all attack together, I don't believe you can kill us all!"
The surrounding cultivators now looked at Lin Fan with unmistakable hostility in their eyes.
Even Mo Zhan and Han Tao weren't exceptions.
Feeling the crowd's growing animosity, the Gu Clan members couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, their scalps tingling with tension.
The Three-Headed Demon Flood Dragon, seeing that Lin Fan had brushed it off so casually, was originally preparing to attack—but now it stopped and watched with gleaming, cunning eyes, clearly waiting for the humans to turn on each other.
"I can't speak for the others," Lin Fan said, his eyes locking onto Lu Jian, a smile appearing on his lips, "but you… will die."
As the final syllable left his mouth, everyone was stunned to see the space around Lu Jian suddenly twist violently.
In a flash, Lin Fan appeared right above him like a phantom. With a flick of his sleeves, ten fingers moved in rapid succession.
Shiiing!
Silver light rained from above as blade-like arcs swept down, forming countless sharp edges that engulfed Lu Jian!
Slash!
In the blink of an eye, Lu Jian's body was sliced into countless pieces. His fragile soul was also shredded instantly—completely annihilated.
"Does anyone else have an objection?"
Lin Fan casually collected Lu Jian's Qiankun Bag, then slowly swept his gaze across the crowd, his voice calm and cold.
