Chapter 86: Chapter 0086: Retreat, Retreat Quickly, Tens of Thousands of Earth Demons are Attacking

[Earth Demon: A small Earth Demon with mastery over the Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs.]

[Possible loot drops: Golden Spirit Root Fragment, Wood Spirit Root Fragment, 250 Years of Cultivation, Quick Recovery.]

[Earth Demon: A small Earth Demon at the Divine Refinement Realm.]

[Possible loot drops: Earth Spirit Root Fragment, 300 Years of Cultivation, Sensory Perception of Living Beings, Damaged Treasure Map, Fasting Pill.]

These two Earth Demons weren’t anything extraordinary, not even possessing Mana.

But none of that mattered.

The fact that Lin Fan could see these Earth Demons was proof enough that heaven hadn’t abandoned him. It still gave him opportunities—he just needed to work hard and success would follow.

The two Earth Demons fled in panic with no sense of direction.

They were truly terrified by the Immortal Sect Disciples. Damn it, those lunatics looked like rabid dogs, their eyes gleaming at the sight of them as they claimed that their Immortal Sect mission was finally going to be completed.

For these two Earth Demons, it had always been them preying on others. No one had ever dared to go after them.

Lin Fan hid in the shadows, unmoving. When the two Earth Demons passed by him, his body flashed into motion like a tiger pouncing on its prey. The Green Toad Saber in his hand became a streak of light, slashing directly at the small Earth Demon with mastery over the Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, killing it instantly.

"Who’s there?"

The other small Earth Demon panicked immediately. Moments ago, it had sensed the presence of a living being nearby but had dismissed it in its desperate escape.

Who would’ve thought someone would ambush them?

When it saw that another Immortal Sect Disciple had stepped out to slaughter them, it roared in anger, charging directly at Lin Fan. "Immortal Sect Disciple, I’m going to eat you!"

This small Earth Demon opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth biting into the back of the Green Toad Saber. However, with a crisp "crack," its teeth shattered into fragments and fell to the ground.

"Ahhh! It hurts!"

The small Earth Demon wanted to clutch its mouth, nearly on the verge of tears. My beautiful rows of teeth!

Lin Fan kicked the small Earth Demon to the ground, pressing the Green Toad Saber against its throat. He barked a question, "Speak! How many Immortal Sect Disciples have you seen, and which sect are they from?"

"Damn bastard, if you have the guts, just kill me!" the small Earth Demon snarled viciously. Perhaps it wasn’t truly afraid of death, or perhaps it had completely misunderstood what death meant.

Slash!

Lin Fan’s arm moved, and the Green Toad Saber slit the Earth Demon’s throat. Blood spurted out in streams.

The small Earth Demon’s expression shifted drastically. Before it died, it whispered bitterly, "This... this isn’t how it should’ve ended... At least threaten me a bit. Do I not deserve any dignity?"

[Obtained Golden Spirit Root Fragment.]

[Obtained 300 Years of Cultivation.]

That was it—nothing else dropped.

"This dumb little system helper... It really thought I wouldn’t notice what the target was carrying? What’s the point of making me search myself?"

Lin Fan rummaged through the Earth Demon’s body and found a Damaged Treasure Map and a Fasting Pill.

What a miserably poor demon.

Still, the gained cultivation wasn’t too bad, bringing his total up to 487 years.

He fantasized about a scenario where an almighty cultivator slapped him, only for him to retort, "A measly few decades of Mana? How dare you challenge my nearly 500 years of Inner Strength!"

After scavenging the demon’s corpse down to the last scrap, he vanished from the scene immediately.

Now, painstaking effort was the only way forward. No shortcuts available. Operating on the outskirts of the Earth Demon Plains was somewhat beneath the capabilities of his audacious little system helper.

But there was no choice.

If he didn’t stick to cautious tactics, he could die at any moment.

Another Golden Spirit Root Fragment dropped.

Maybe the little helper felt guilty about its stinginess in the past, withholding Spirit Roots and severing his ties with the Immortal Path. Perhaps now it just wanted to make amends.

To this development, he only wanted to say, ’You son of a... fine, I’ll forgive you. Just increase the drop rates a bit more from now on.’

Carefully, Lin Fan prowled the Earth Demon Plains, searching for more Earth Demons.

Time passed unknowingly.

In the distance, he saw light flickering, and an image of a Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the sky—not too large.

The dazzling light dispelled all the surrounding Demonic Qi.

"Could it be that the Immortal Sect Disciples, whom the Earth Demon mentioned earlier, are now in a fierce battle?" Lin Fan pondered. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to take a look. Maybe the reason he hadn’t encountered any Earth Demons lately was that these disciples had entered the area, attracting them all.

Thinking it over—

It made quite a bit of sense.

He soon crept closer, skulking behind a large boulder. His behavior was indeed rather sneaky, but there was no helping it; the scene in front of him was overwhelming.

Unfamiliar with the terrain and the people, even making casual contact with this lot could easily get him killed.

Up ahead—

The number of Immortal Disciples was substantial, roughly twenty or so, by his initial count. Above their heads floated the Tai Chi Diagram. Curtains of light descended from the sky, enveloping them and quite a few Earth Demons alike.

Earth Demons caught inside the Tai Chi Diagram were suppressed, unable to unleash their full power.

But the Earth Demons, vicious as they were, exhibited shocking ferocity in this desperate death struggle. Even so, the coordinated formation of the Immortal Sect Disciples disadvantaged the demons significantly.

"My heart... it hurts."

Each time Lin Fan saw an Earth Demon mercilessly cut down by the Immortal Sect Disciples, it pained him deeply, akin to the sting of a breakup. It was as if something valuable were being ripped away before his very eyes.

But the key issue was that he was powerless to intervene.

He could only watch helplessly as the Earth Demons were slaughtered, unable to lift a finger.

What the hell are you all fighting for?

And those Earth Demons, are you guys brain-dead or what? Knowing you can’t win, why still fight to the bitter end?

Unacceptable. Lin Fan couldn’t just sit by and do nothing. If the Earth Demons on the outskirts really got wiped out, wouldn’t he be forced to head deeper into the Earth Demon Plains?

Lin Fan’s mind worked quickly.

Think of something. Think of something!

Suddenly—

A metaphorical light bulb lit up above Lin Fan’s head. He had an idea.

He looked at the Immortal Sect Disciples in the distance. Their cultivation realms weren’t too intimidating. The strongest among them was at the Longevity First Level Foundation Establishment Realm. While a few had Mana far denser than his, none of that posed an insurmountable problem.

Glancing down at his intact robes, Lin Fan shook his head. How could this pristine look possibly inspire sympathy?

He grabbed his Green Toad Saber and began frantically slashing his clothing—rip, rip.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lin Fan nodded approvingly at his tattered appearance. Yes, this definitely looked like someone who’d been through hell.

He then activated Cloud Traveling Four Steps, his Sprint Burst technique.

Rushing forward, he wailed in panic, "Senior brothers, sisters, run! Thousands of Earth Demons are chasing us from behind! Run!"

"Senior brother has fallen for their decoy strategy! The Earth Demons are targeting *us*!"

Lin Fan screamed at the top of his lungs.

His speed was impressive, like a gust of wind sweeping past.

The Immortal Sect Disciples, locked in fierce battle, froze momentarily at his words. Thousands of Earth Demons?

What kind of joke was this?

If there truly were thousands, they wouldn’t even have their ashes left.

But wait—who the hell was that guy?

Was he from their sect?

The Earth Demons trapped inside the Tai Chi Diagram howled at Lin Fan’s words, barking orders, "Kill them all! Our thousands of brethren are on their way to block these scum!"

After yelling this, the Earth Demons themselves hesitated momentarily. Thousands, really?

But who cares?

If there truly weren’t thousands of Earth Demons en route, how could that guy have run off so frantically just now?

"Retreat! Fall back!"

The Immortal Sect Disciples inside the Tai Chi Diagram, seeing the sudden surge of ferocity in the Earth Demons, actually fell for Lin Fan’s ruse. They began shouting for their comrades to flee.

The senior brother may have gone after that terrifying Earth Demon, but who would’ve expected this to be a diversion from the demons?
