Chapter 476: Which Head Should I Knock

Inside the glorious high-rise pavilion of the Ancient Clan, it was pitch black, with a few green flames floating like ghosts, adding a glimmer of light to the dark pavilion.

But compared to the darkness, they were so insignificant.

On the round crystal bed, a pair of blue eyes shone brilliantly in the darkness.

A luxurious black fur coat draped over the Despair Marquis.

At this moment, the Despair Marquis was very quiet, his eyes calm as water, without a ripple.

Gazing at the green flames, the Despair Marquis slightly raised his hand, as if reaching for something, but layers of darkness blocked everything, and finally it slowly fell.

Silence, oppressive.

Not a sound.

"Xiguang..." At that moment, a majestic voice came from the darkness.

A trace of fear faintly appeared on the Despair Marquis's cute face, but it vanished without a trace in an instant.

"King..." The Despair Marquis knelt there, the black fur coat draped over him, yet he seemed so small.

In the darkness, a pair of purple, eerie eyes appeared. Under those eerie eyes, anyone who met their gaze would lower their noble head.

The purple, eerie eyes suddenly flickered with a glint.

"Ah..."

Instantly, the Despair Marquis's whole body trembled, and a scream burst violently from his throat.

Streams of black aura emanated from the Despair Marquis's body, then flowed toward those eyes.

The Despair Marquis prostrated on the ground, head lowered, enduring the pain that descended every month.

After an unknown time, the eyes floating in the darkness disappeared.

And the Despair Marquis also collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, tormented by that pain for who knows how long.

"Xiaoguang..." From a corner of the darkness, a voice came, carrying concern.

"Don't come over..." The Despair Marquis roared coldly, then slowly stood up, his childish face filled with determination.

"Long Xuan, I don't need your false kindness. I am the Despair Marquis Xiguang. Put away your pitiful gaze. Just remember, you are only a vessel; you have no right to control me." The short-statured Despair Marquis clenched his small fists, his black fur coat billowing as he walked into the boundless darkness.

"Xiaoguang..." A sigh came from the darkness.

...

Lin Fan, Xia Zehua, and the others fled all the way, leaving that place of trouble.

With Wuxu Xin and the Ancient Clan soldiers dead there, the Ancient Clan camp might already be furious.

For safety, they had to find a hidden place to lie low.

Lin Fan now had the strength to protect himself. Although the Azure Heaven rank was not the strongest, it was enough to stay alive. He wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge the Ancient Clan experts.

Because if they were all so easy to kill, the Ancient Clan would have been overthrown long ago, and there would be no need for him to come.

After killing Wuxu Xin and those Ancient Clan soldiers, his ranking on the wanted list indeed jumped significantly.

But Lin Fan was not satisfied with this ranking.

Counting, he was already in the tens of millions. In Lin Fan's view, the road ahead was still long; he had to reach first place.

Although the higher the wanted ranking, the more dangerous life became, so what? Could he be afraid?

One day, he would make his name known throughout the Ancient Saint Realm, make all Ancient Clan members fear him, and make all beings of the myriad races admire him.

"Wow... Brother Lin, your ranking has improved a lot." Mu Liang was constantly watching the wanted list. Checking Lin Fan's ranking now, he was stunned, and also envious, wondering when he could be as formidable as Brother Lin.

"Keep a low profile... keep a low profile." Lin Fan said calmly, but a hint of pride showed on his face.

For someone as awesome as me, this kind of ranking really doesn't matter.

"Brother Lin, what should we do next?" Xia Zehua asked.

After that battle, he had seen Lin Fan's powerful strength and was full of hope for the team's future.

Lin Fan sighed inwardly, wanting to say, "Brother, you're the captain," but he was also resigned to Xia Zehua and didn't want to pursue the issue.

"It's getting late. Let's rest for a while. There's still some time before the ascension. Everyone should hide and cultivate well during this period," Lin Fan said.

"Right, Brother Lin's plan is thorough and wise. This time, we must rescue those ascenders," Xia Zehua said admiringly.

Lin Fan sighed, also impressed by Xia Zehua's intelligence.

The night was hazy, and everyone fell asleep.

Lin Fan looked at the void, then walked into the darkness. Even at this time, he couldn't relax; he had to seize every moment to cultivate and raise his strength to its peak before he could afford to rest.

Otherwise, with his current strength, showing off would be unstable and easy to backfire.

...

"Pfft..."

An ancient beast was split in two by Lin Fan's axe.

Lin Fan looked at the experience points and frowned. The experience was too little, so little it was frightening.

If only the strongest buff could last forever, but that was impossible.

Lin Fan flicked his sleeve and absorbed the beast's demonic aura.

Every little bit counts; even the weak have their uses.

At night, the ancient beasts became unusually active.

This place was different from the border area; high-level ancient beasts might exist here, which was what Lin Fan most anticipated.

"Roar..."

Just as Lin Fan was venturing deeper, he was attracted by a roar and couldn't help quickening his pace.

The roar was extraordinary, carrying a hint of pressure.

"Ancient Beast: Three-Headed Giant King, Azure Heaven mid-rank."

"Oh wow, I didn't expect a big boss." Lin Fan looked at the beast, overjoyed. Encountering a beast stronger than himself was always the most exciting thing.

The beast was sleeping, and the roar was its breathing.

Its breath was like thunder.

This time, he truly witnessed it.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, thinking about what to do. Should he charge in with the Eternal Axe and fight, or sneak attack?

This question was worth considering.

Lin Fan took out the 95 Red Brick, then entered stealth mode and crept forward.

It was late at night, and the beast was sleeping. It wouldn't be good to wake it up.

Tiptoeing, carefully, as if about to do something bad.

"Huff..."

Three huge heads hung to the ground. With each breath, a puff of hot air was exhaled, and the smell was truly unbearable.

"Damn, it stinks. But for the experience, I'll endure it." Lin Fan wondered if he would be discovered this time.

But when Lin Fan approached the Three-Headed Giant King, he was stunned.

Three heads—which one should I knock?

This was the first time Lin Fan didn't know where to knock.
