Chapter 464: They're All Damn Oscar Winners

From deep within the mountains came a series of terrifying sounds.

A squad of ancient tribesmen moved through the mountains, their chilling aura causing the hidden ancient beasts to tremble in fear and dare not emerge.

"Haha, we didn't find that human, but we found a village instead." A tall ancient tribesman, his ugly face twisted into a ferocious grin, carried a bag in his hand—loot from the village.

"That feeling of slicing those ants in half with one swing is truly exhilarating, but their cultivation is too weak, utterly useless." Another ancient tribesman sneered coldly; massacring villages like this was routine for him.

Countless races in the vast world had been slaughtered by them.

"Where did that human run off to? If we catch him, we'll devour him whole."

"That winged woman was wild indeed, but her body was too fragile; she died after just a few blows."

"Haha... The decurion is the real deal; he killed the village chief with one slash."

...

For this ten-man ancient tribe squad, wherever they passed, nothing grew—they killed and looted everything.

The leader was the ancient tribe decurion, who had been ordered to pursue the human. But in that forest, aside from finding their comrades' corpses, they found nothing. After searching the mountains for days, they stumbled upon a village—a pleasant diversion for them.

"If that human runs into our decurion, he'll be scared shitless..." Before the ancient tribe guard could finish, a battle axe tore through the void and split his head open.

This sight startled the ancient tribesmen.

"Who's there?" The decurion, seeing the axe that had come out of nowhere, his expression shifted drastically as he warily scanned the surroundings.

"Decurion, over there..." A tribesman spotted a figure in the distance and shouted.

"Hmm..." The decurion squinted at the distant figure, then burst into laughter.

"Haha, no effort at all—you've come to us willingly. Human, you've got some nerve, killing our ancient tribe kin." The decurion stared at the distant figure and said coldly.

Hearing the decurion's words, the surrounding tribesmen were overjoyed.

A human... So that's the human? The one we were ordered to hunt down.

"Human, surrender, or I'll devour you alive..." The decurion barked.

"Boom..."

At that moment, the distant figure suddenly appeared before them.

Lin Fan had never been this furious before.

Looking at the items the ancient tribesmen carried—those were the villagers' belongings.

"Human, you think you can..." A guard began to shout, but

"Pfft..."

A flash of light, and the speaking guard's limbs were severed, black blood splattering everywhere.

"Ah..."

A scream echoed through the heavens and earth.

The decurion's face hardened, and he threw a punch. "How dare you!"

"Boom..."

The decurion's fist, carrying immense force, struck Lin Fan.

"Hmph, human, you're too reckless. Today you'll regret this..." The decurion rejoiced at landing the blow, but then his expression changed.

"How is this possible..."

"Pfft..."

A flash of the axe, and the decurion's black arm flew into the air, black blood spraying.

"You..."

Seeing their decurion lose an arm in one move, the guards were terrified, but as fierce ancient tribe warriors, they had no retreat.

"None of you are leaving today." Lin Fan looked at them, no longer in the mood to toy with them—he wanted to hack them all to death.

"Pfft..."

"Ah... My arm."

"My leg..."

"Damn human, I'll fight you!"

...

Lin Fan's current cultivation easily crushed this squad; even the decurion was nothing to him.

At this moment, the mountain forest was a scene of horror, with agonized screams echoing through the void.

"Human, kill me if you dare..."

The decurion's face was filled with terror. All ten of them were no match for this human, and he had severed all their limbs, turning them into living stumps.

"Hmph, dying won't be so easy." Lin Fan looked at the bloody stumps and smiled.

Then, Lin Fan leaped up, activated stealth, and waited quietly.

The decurion didn't understand why the human had suddenly let them go, but then it hit him, and his face twisted in horror.

"Human, you've killed us..."

As ancient tribesmen, ancient beasts dared not approach them. But now, in this state, those beasts would have no fear.

"Roar..."

Roars came from the forest.

"Killing you would be too easy. Today, you'll taste what it's like to be torn apart by ancient beasts." Lin Fan said coldly.

Then, one by one, ancient beasts emerged, radiating ferocity, and appeared before the tribesmen.

These beasts were most sensitive to the scent of blood.

"No!" In that instant, a pack of vicious beasts charged at the tribesmen.

"Haha... You all deserve to die!" Lin Fan laughed wildly as he watched the scene below. Just as a beast was about to swallow a tribesman, he swung his axe and killed it.

"Ding, congratulations on killing the ancient tribe decurion."

"Ding, hidden BUFF triggered."

"Ding, congratulations, experience increased by 10,000."

"Ding, congratulations on leveling up."

"Cultivation: Earth Heaven rank, mid-level."

...

"Haha..." Lin Fan laughed maniacally at the tribesmen's miserable state. "Xuan'er, rest in peace. I will avenge you."

...

In the destroyed village.

Tombstones stood in the village.

Xuan'er's grave was covered in flowers. The once lively village had fallen silent.

Suddenly, the void rippled.

"What an interesting fellow." A figure appeared above the village, looking down at the tombstones and chuckling softly.

"Xuan'er, how long are you going to keep lying there?" The figure's voice was gentle, as if filled with irresistible allure.

If Lin Fan were here, he would be shocked by what he saw.

The tombstones began to tremble, and one by one, the supposedly dead villagers crawled out from the graves.

Xuan'er climbed out of the pit, frowning at her dirty clothes. She shook herself, and the dust vanished instantly.

"Master..." Seeing the figure in the sky, Xuan'er happily floated over.

"Missing your Uncle Lin already?" The woman looked at her disciple with a faint smile.

"Master, Uncle Lin is a good person. Why did we have to trick him? He must be so sad." Xuan'er pouted, looking unhappy.

The woman glanced at Xuan'er, then looked into the distance without answering, but inwardly she sneered.

"Kid, you like to show off. If I don't give you some motivation, you won't get moving."

Still, she hadn't expected that this guy would care so much about her disciple—that was a bit surprising.

But it worked out well.

Since I said I'm hope, then show some results. The way you are now isn't enough.
