Chapter 709: Instant Kill

"How is this possible!"

In an instant, everyone stared in shock at the scene before them.

"Even a Divine Heaven rank seven powerhouse couldn't withstand the Thunder Monarch's strike just now. How did this guy manage it?" Liu Qiangwei felt as if a pair of hands were slapping her face repeatedly.

Just moments ago, she had dismissed Lin Fan, but in the blink of an eye, reality had taught her a lesson.

"Extraordinary, truly extraordinary. Could it be that the person Qiu Yue brought can actually suppress the Thunder Monarch?" Lie Baizhan said in astonishment.

"Captain, that's impossible. You and I both know the Thunder Monarch's strength..."

A member of the Baizhan Squad was speaking, but suddenly, as he saw what was happening, it was as if a giant hand had gripped his throat, rendering him speechless.

"Who is he?" The Baizhan Squad member, finding strength from somewhere, stood up abruptly and said in disbelief.

The thunder whip in Lin Fan's hand, full of spirit like a dragon or snake, suddenly locked around the Thunder Monarch's neck and yanked him before Lin Fan.

"You bastard, you're asking for death!" The Thunder Monarch burned with rage. Lightning flickered in his palm, and a towering thunder deity slammed down toward Lin Fan.

"The Emperor said you have no chance to fight back, and you won't. Slash." Lin Fan moved his mind, and a sharp sword intent shot through the air, instantly severing the Thunder Monarch's arm.

"Ah!"

The Thunder Monarch roared, his face turning extremely ugly. He hadn't expected this guy to be so powerful.

"Kneel before the Emperor." Lin Fan spread his five fingers and pressed heavily on the Thunder Monarch's head. Vast might erupted, and a force of a thousand jun swept across the heavens.

"You dare humiliate me? Die!" The Thunder Monarch punched toward Lin Fan's chest.

Boom!

"Oh no, the Thunder Monarch struck him!"

In an instant, everyone was horrified. They had thought this guy could suppress the Thunder Monarch, but then they saw the Thunder Monarch land a punch on him.

"Too arrogant! How could he be so arrogant? The Thunder Monarch's destructive power is immense; that punch must contain infinite annihilation force. Even the Giants and Diamond Tribe wouldn't dare take it head-on!" Liu Qiangwei's face changed drastically. The hope that had risen was once again dashed.

But just then, the situation shifted again.

"Thunder Monarch, stop resisting. Your punch is like a tickle to the Emperor. Kneel." Lin Fan sneered. His physical strength had already reached Divine Heaven rank eight.

Thud!

Vast force poured down from the Thunder Monarch's head. Unable to withstand it, he fell to his knees with a thud, the immense power seeping into the ground.

Boom! Boom!

The earth cracked, earth spikes erupted, and the entire plate seemed about to split.

At that moment, Liu Qiangwei felt her face burning with pain. Her words from moments ago were instantly contradicted, without even a chance to react.

The members of the Qiangwei Squad looked at their captain, unsure what to say. They suddenly realized that today seemed to be the captain's unlucky day—nothing was going smoothly.

For the Baizhan Squad, the scene before them had already left them speechless with shock.

"So strong, incredibly strong. When did such a powerful being come to the Guardian Grounds?"

"How did Qiu Yue manage to ask him for help?"

"I don't know. How could such a strong person be unknown?"

...

"The Emperor said you have no chance to fight back. Do you believe it now?" Lin Fan smiled calmly, as if stating something trivial.

"Damn you! I'll kill you!" The Thunder Monarch, unable to accept his fate, let out a sharp roar.

Boom!

In an instant, a dark vortex appeared in the void, within which immense power brewed.

Everyone looked up, their faces filled with terror.

They sensed a powerful destructive force within that vortex.

"Bastard, die!" The Thunder Monarch roared. Lightning danced in the dark vortex, and a thick bolt of thunder descended from the sky, striking toward Lin Fan.

"That's a Thunderstorm! I didn't expect the Thunder Monarch to master such a divine ability!" Lie Baizhan's face changed drastically when he saw the lightning.

A Thunderstorm was like a tribulation of a cave heaven.

For a cave heaven to produce a Great Dao, it must undergo tribulation. And the thunder the Thunder Monarch had just unleashed was exactly that—a cave heaven tribulation.

Lin Fan looked at the descending thunder, feeling a sense of déjà vu, but it didn't matter to him.

"Wretched creature, die!" The Thunder Monarch laughed coldly, his laughter chilling. But in an instant, his expression changed.

Lin Fan grabbed the Thunder Monarch by the head, lifted him, and turned him to face the descending thunder.

"Ah!"

The Thunder Monarch screamed, his body emitting black smoke.

"Aren't you stupid? You're already in the Emperor's hands, and you still dare to play with lightning? In the end, you're the one taking the hit." Lin Fan sighed, not knowing what else to say.

"Despicable! Shameless!" The Thunder Monarch hadn't expected this guy to be so treacherous, using him as a shield.

The members of the Baizhan Squad and Qiangwei Squad were dumbfounded.

They hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"What was that Heaven-grade mid-level mission about the Thunder Monarch?" Lin Fan asked the Baizhan Squad.

"Capture the Thunder Monarch alive."

"Oh, just bring him back alive?"

"Yes."

At that moment, Lin Fan looked at the Thunder Monarch, a cold smile curling at his lips.

The Thunder Monarch erupted with his mana, which surged violently, but the hand on his head suppressed it, leaving him powerless to resist.

Suddenly, the Thunder Monarch's expression changed drastically.

"How dare you!" The Thunder Monarch felt his mana, cave heaven, primordial spirit, and heavenly divine pill slipping out of his control, flowing into this creature's body. His face turned extremely ugly.

"Thunder Monarch, you're unlucky to have met the Emperor. But for the mission, I won't take your life." Lin Fan's Parasol Tree within him began to stir.

In an instant, the Thunder Monarch's mana, cave heaven, primordial spirit, and more were extracted.

"Ding, congratulations. Experience increased by 800,000."

"Damn you! I'll kill you!" The Thunder Monarch suddenly found himself without a trace of mana, like a cripple.

"Heh..." Lin Fan said nothing more. He dragged the Thunder Monarch like a dead dog toward the Baizhan Squad.

"Monk, the remaining ancient tribes are yours." Lin Fan said.

"Good, thank you, benefactor." Venerable Shijia was overjoyed at this. He instantly flew into the void, his whole body bathed in golden light, his expression serene, as he began to convert the ancient tribe army.

The Baizhan Squad members were completely stunned. They hadn't expected the once-invincible Thunder Monarch to be suppressed by this man so easily.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

At that moment, the most sorrowful and regretful was the Qiangwei Squad...

"He... he..." Liu Qiangwei looked at the scene before her, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and fainted.

"Captain... Captain!" The Qiangwei Squad members quickly caught their captain. They knew why she was like this.

Such a powerful expert had slipped through their fingers.

And all for just ten thousand contribution points...
