Chapter 453: Little Monster Almost Got Snatched

While Lin Fan was confronting that ancient being, two figures floated silently in the void above.

They had been watching the scene below for a long time, and their hearts were shaken by what they saw.

They never expected that in this Ancient Saint Realm, there could be such an unyielding person, facing the ancient clan with such tenacity.

"What power is sustaining him?" a young man in the void muttered in astonishment.

"He just said he is human; perhaps that's it," said the woman beside him, a flicker of shock in her eyes.

They had been watching from the void for a while. Earlier, not knowing what was happening, they dared not speak. In this perilous Ancient Saint Realm, every step required caution.

Especially since there was a member of the ancient clan below, making them even more careful.

But as they watched on, their hearts wavered.

Especially this human, who, despite being brutally beaten by the ancient clan, remained unyielding and shouted.

"Long live humanity."

"You can't kill me..."

Words like these exploded like thunder in their hearts.

Their own race was no different, but in this cruel world, how many races had produced traitors who groveled before the vile ancient clan, begging for their lives?

"A man like this shouldn't die here," the woman beside the man said.

"Indeed, in the Ancient Saint Realm, such people are rare," the man said.

"This ancient clan member's aura is strong; he should be at the middle stage of Earth Heaven rank. If we catch him off guard, we might be able to kill him," the man said.

"Brother Xu, your Void Diamond Sword Intent is superb, merging into the void. This ancient clan member hasn't noticed us yet; it might work," the woman said.

"Alright..." The man, Zhang Xu, nodded. In an instant, he pointed a finger, and a golden sword light split the void, silently striking downward.

...

At this moment, Lin Fan saw that the ancient clan member before him was on the verge of collapse, and he was secretly pleased. He had already gained all the benefits; it was time to kill him.

"Human, why won't you fall?" Gu Hai roared in fury, a vast power erupting violently from his body, even somewhat chaotic.

"You..." Lin Fan's expression was calm, just about to taunt him when suddenly, from the void, an indestructible force pierced through.

"Damn, someone's trying to steal my kill." Lin Fan's face changed drastically. How could he tolerate this? This ancient clan member was about to be harvested by him, but now someone wanted to kill the monster within reach. Unacceptable.

His ability to level up depended entirely on this ancient clan member.

This indestructible sword intent pierced the void. Lin Fan believed that if the ancient clan member didn't dodge, he would definitely be split in two.

But the ancient clan member's current state clearly showed he hadn't noticed the sword intent hidden in the void.

"Stop!" In an instant, Lin Fan leaped up, rushed in front of the ancient clan member, and kicked him away.

At that moment, the indestructible sword intent suddenly emerged from the void, appearing right before Lin Fan, and slashed directly into the ground.

"Close call..." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing he made it in time; if that sword intent had killed the ancient clan member, he would have had nowhere to cry.

The two in the void saw this and their expressions changed. "Let's go quickly; they might be in cahoots to lure us out."

Zhang Xu saw that the human had actually kicked the ancient clan member away, so there was only one possibility: the human was not what they thought, and might have colluded with the ancient clan member to put on a show.

Just as the two were about to leave quickly, a voice came, stopping them.

"No need for help. This scum insulted humanity; I must kill him with my own hands." Lin Fan naturally couldn't say that this monster was his experience; if they killed it, all his efforts would be wasted.

Zhang Xu frowned slightly, exchanged a glance with the woman beside him, and felt puzzled about this human.

At that moment, the ancient clan member kicked away by Lin Fan shook his head and stood up.

"Damn it..." Gu Hai looked at Lin Fan, then turned his gaze to the two in the void, his expression turning ferocious.

"You insulted my race; today I will kill you." With outsiders present, Lin Fan naturally couldn't keep babbling with the ancient clan member.

"Boom..."

In an instant, Lin Fan's figure vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Gu Hai.

"What?" Gu Hai's expression changed, showing disbelief. How could this human have become so strong?

"I'll split you!" The Eternal Axe in his hand, he swung it heavily at Gu Hai.

"Bang..."

Gu Hai's pupils contracted sharply. He couldn't believe he would die at the hands of a human, and one he had beaten half to death.

"I am a decurion of the ancient clan, shrouded by heavenly will. I will have you hunted by the ancient clan for eternity..." Just then, a shocking scene occurred before Lin Fan.

The Gu Hai, split in two by his axe, suddenly burst forth a red light from his body, and his ferocious eyes stared fixedly at Lin Fan, as if to remember him forever.

In an instant, the red light shot out from Gu Hai's body and vanished into the heavens.

"Ding, congratulations on killing an Earth Heaven rank ancient clan member."

"Ding, congratulations on gaining 2000 experience."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Cultivation: Earth Heaven rank, initial stage."

...

At that moment, Lin Fan was immersed in the pleasure of leveling up, a surge of powerful energy filling his body.

Though he had experienced this feeling many times, every level-up was still so exhilarating.

The two in the void watched the scene in shock. How could this human be so strong? How had he been beaten so badly by the ancient clan member?

"Thank you both for earlier." Lin Fan cupped his hands toward the void, also somewhat puzzled.

These two looked no different from humans.

But they exuded a sharp aura.

The two in the void descended slowly. "I am Zhang Xu from the Sword Realm, and this is my clansman Hai Lan."

"Lin Fan from the Xuanhuang Realm," Lin Fan said.

Indeed, the vast world did not only have humans looking like this; many other worlds had people of similar appearance.

But what kind of world was the Sword Realm? Was it all about wielding swords?

Lin Fan naturally wouldn't let them leave just yet; he wanted to know more.

Judging by their demeanor, they had clearly survived in the Ancient Saint Realm for a long time and likely knew a lot.

Then Lin Fan took the initiative to talk with them, asking about things he didn't know.
