Chapter 118: Very Sneaky

With the Mo Family’s wealth, it was not a problem for them the get a Gorefiend Dragon’s inner core, but of course, it was still a great price.

However, they are lucky to have met me, a person who won’t con them of their money and has agreed to get them an inner core for just eighteen million.

Because it’s under the water, an Earth Star Border Stage Six might even lose their life in the lake. But there are many elites who are willing to take the risk since cultivating requires a huge amount of wealth.

Unlike me, who’s thankful that Old Master Mo sacrificed his safety to eliminate the evil cultivators for the safety of Spirit Wind City! It’s such a touching act, and he deserves so much respect.

As a Magnificent Flame Sect third-class inner disciple and Elder Tian Xu’s direct disciple, I need to stand up for justice.

Night fell.

The Mo Family members had not taken action. They decided to take a rest tonight. Lin Fan was allocated a grand room, but Lin Fan did not like it. It will make me lower my guard if I lead such a good life for too long of a time. I am going to earn points tonight.

I have the Magic of the Seven Gods on me, and I would be letting myself down if I still haven’t learned it after such a long time.

He pushed the window open. The streets were brightly lit up; the Cumulus Bazaar was bustling with activity.

This is indeed the Cumulus Bazaar, where cultivators gather. It’s also a heaven for striking the jackpot.

Unlike any normal cultivator, Lin Fan jumped out of the window and landed steadily on the street.

Some martial artists started at Lin Fan in shock. They were wondering if he was a madman. Who in their right mind wouldn’t make their way out through the door when there’s one, but jump out of the window? However, they did not pay much attention to him as attention seekers weren’t long-lived in the Cumulus Bazaar.

Lin Fan ignored the looks from the passersby. He was now going to earn points so that he could fight the Gorefiend Dragon with his full power. It will be slightly difficult to fight the Gorefiend Dragon right now. One should always fight with the upper hand if they can. That’s how an elite should fight.

After exiting the Cumulus Bazaar, the atmosphere felt different. It felt creepy. Being located near two danger zones, it was obviously dangerous outside the Cumulus Bazaar since there were beasts wandering around.

Normally, people would not dare to wander around outside at night since nobody knew what would happen at night.

“I’m a walking firefly in the night! Beasts, open your eyes. Are you happy and excited? Come and eat me!”

In a strange place where I have no friends, I can only succeed with the will of being eaten.

In the inn:

“Miss, are you really going to put your hopes on Gentleman Lin? That’s an Earth Star Border Stage Five Gorefiend Dragon,” Uncle Cheng asked Miss Mo. It wasn’t that he did not trust Lin Fan, but the rate of success was simply too low for one person to win against an Earth Star Border Stage Five Stage beast like that.

Mo Lingyu looked at the scene out of the window. “Mm. I have I already discussed it with Gentleman Lin. I can only trust him.”

“However, if he takes too long, this old servant is worried that Old Master Mo…” It was inevitable for Uncle Cheng to be worried about Old Master Mo. He was currently seriously injured, and they had already been delayed for too long. They were able to wait for Lin Fan even if he took several days, but Old Master Mo wasn’t.

“Uncle Cheng is right,” Mo Lingyu said after a short pause. “I’ll explain the situation to Gentleman Lin tomorrow. I will pay him as promised, but I will hire a few elites as well to go with him. You may take your leave, I’m tired now.”

“Yes, this old servant will take my leave,” Uncle Cheng said. That was all he could do now.

Wealth to the Mo Family wasn’t important, but Old Master Mo’s life was. As long as Old Master Mo was around, the Mo Family would not fall.

Ten miles away, near Scaled Dragon Lake, the crescent moon hung up in the sky. Its reflection could be seen on the water.

Lin Fan had his hands behind his back, the aura of an elite lingering in the air. Looking at the still waters, he shook his head in regret.

“So dead. There isn’t any movement to be seen, and yet you still call yourself Scaled Dragon Lake? Whatever, I, Lin Fan, am here. Not to kill you, but to take a look at your Gorefiend Dragon’s nest. It’s such a disappointment. Tomorrow morning, it will be your death day.”

After this, Lin Fan turned around, ready to hunt for beasts. I will take the Gorefiend Dragon’s life as soon as I pick up the Magic of the Seven Gods.

This is confidence, not arrogance. And I get it from my ability.

Rumble!

Suddenly, bubbles could be seen forming on the still water’s surface. Pop! Lin Fan could hear the bubbles bursting one by one.

Lin Fan frowned and turned back. The water level had risen up to a hundred meters tall. A scaled dragon tail could be seen surfacing from the waters and coming toward Lin Fan. It soon coiled around Lin Fan’s waist with an extraordinary force.

“Damn it. What the hell are you doing? I did not say that I would kill you now!”

Plop!

As soon as Lin Fan finished his words, he was dragged into Scaled Dragon Lake.

The Earth Star Border Stage Five Gorefiend Dragon had extraordinary strength. It was not a difficult task for it to pull Lin Fan down into the water.

Scaled Dragon Lake regained its silence again. The gentle moonlight shone down on Scaled Dragon Lake. The person who spoke loudly in front of Scaled Dragon Lake was now gone.

Rumble!

In the water, as soon as Lin Fan opened his mouth, water gushed in. Looking down, there was only the Gorefiend Dragon’s scales to be seen shining in the darkness. He looked up to see that he was far from the shore, and the moonlight of the crescent moon was currently shining down on him. He had confirmed that he was being pulled down into the water by the Gorefiend Dragon.

Lin Fan struggled, but there wasn’t any use.

I’m in the water! Even if I was in my best state, how am I supposed defeat this Earth Star Border Stage Five Gorefiend Dragon?

Oh my, I’m doomed. I have made a mistake! I was only here to take a look at Scaled Dragon Lake. This Gorefiend Dragon is so evil! It assaulted me when I was gushing about the beautiful scenery! How sneaky.

Suddenly, there was a change to the surroundings. The water seemed to have disappeared, and the scaled dragon started crawling on the ground. Lin Fan looked around. This seems like a cave, and oh! It has a pair of claws!

I did not think that there would be a cave under the water!

But this Gorefiend Dragon did nothing other than coiling around me. It did not try to kill me. Is it perhaps aware of my identity so it dares not act presumptuously around me?

But as soon as this thought passed Lin Fan’s mind, reality gave him a huge punishment.

In the spacious cave, the Gorefiend Dragon flung its tail, throwing Lin Fan at the wall of the cave with great force.

In the air, Lin Fan took a deep breath. He did a cartwheel and stopped his body forcefully before landing steadily.

He held himself up from the ground, only to realize that his hands felt gooey. Lin Fan lifted his hands to see that they were covered with blood. He looked around to see that he was surrounded by remains. His heart sank immediately. How many people has the Gorefiend Dragon killed?

He turned to look at the Gorefiend Dragon immediately. Oops, I’m at a loss here.

The Gorefiend Dragon spanned about thirty-three meters, so it was on the gigantic side. It held itself up from the ground with its claws. Its scales were about the size of a palm, and the Gorefiend Dragon had a striking red body. An ice-cold aura lingered in the air.

“Brother Dragon, river water does not interfere with well water. Even though I am planning to kill you, it’s immoral to take action now! Let me leave, and we shall fight again at dawn. What do you think? (TL note)

“Okay, since you’re silent, I’ll take it as you agreeing, Brother Dragon.”

Lin Fan clapped his hands and looked at the Gorefiend Dragon warily before walking toward the cave exit.

Suddenly, Lin Fan could hear a loud whoosh as the Gorefiend Dragon’s tail slammed toward him.

“Violent Body!”

Shocked, Lin Fan made use of his skill and blocked the attack with his arms. However, the strong force nearly broke his arms as it sent him crashing into the cave wall.

Pui!

Lin Fan vomited blood.

That’s so fierce.

You’re unwilling to talk nicely, huh?
