The defeated Evil Overlord hung its head, tears of frustration welling in its eyes.
It quickly sucked the tears back.
It couldn't cry.
It had to maintain its last shred of dignity.
However, the moment it bowed its head and admitted defeat, the Evil Overlord's dignity had vanished. Moreover, it had been witnessed by the evil beings lurking in the darkness. How could it ever hold its head up again?
The evil beings hidden in the darkness were shocked.
The Overlord actually bowed its head to a human.
Could it be that the Overlord was also a traitor?
The evil rooster, held in Old Zhang's arms, shook its head helplessly. With the Overlord's surrender, this evil base would cease to exist. No evil being would obey an Overlord who bowed to humans.
The future of evil beings ultimately depends on me.
Other evil beings are simply unreliable.
Although my strength is indeed lacking, I have a brilliant mind. I can also lower my posture and use my talents to impress humans, successfully lurking by their side.
"Admitting your mistakes makes you a good child."
Lin Fan patted the Evil Overlord's shoulder, a smile blooming on his face. He was willing to forgive it. Everyone makes mistakes. As long as they can change, they are still good.
The Evil Overlord felt the human's hand on its shoulder. It seemed light, but in its heart, it felt like a giant mountain pressing down on its heart.
The pain made it hard to breathe.
It also wanted to resist.
But what could it do if it couldn't beat the opponent? Who said evil beings didn't cherish their lives? Only those brainless evil beings would use their lives to experience the consequences of stubbornness.
"Old Zhang, let's go."
A bright smile appeared on Lin Fan's face. For him, being able to make the other party realize their mistakes and change was a significant improvement. It also showed that what he was doing was right.
If it were wrong, others would definitely not admit their mistakes.
Only when it's right will people admit their mistakes.
"You're amazing," Old Zhang said admiringly.
Lin Fan smiled, "It's nothing, just telling it the correct values. I don't want it to go further down the wrong path of values, lest it goes astray."
The words "go astray" were used well.
Given the current situation of the evil beings, there wasn't much difference between being astray and not.
"Huh! What's that?"
Lin Fan saw the sword sphere in the distance and was surprised. He had never seen such a peculiar thing before.
Even the mentally ill have a sense of curiosity.
Their exploration of the unknown is stronger than anyone else's.
The Evil Overlord focused. The sword sphere contained a powerful human. Its goal was to kill him. Although it had won, it was difficult to kill him. Now that it had been discovered by humans, the situation was not good.
"Lin Fan, what is this?"
Old Zhang reached out to touch it. The sword sphere shimmered with white light. It was a beautiful thing, but Lin Fan stopped him.
"Don't touch it, it's very sharp, it will cut your finger," Lin Fan said.
The evil rooster smelled the human scent, and it was very strong. This sphere hid a human. It looked back at the Evil Overlord and found it standing still, hesitant, as if it wanted to attack.
"Cluck..."
The evil rooster crowed at it.
The words it spoke were completely unlike what a weak evil being like it could say.
Sure enough.
Since having a backer, the evil rooster had gradually become a haughty chicken.
First of all, it spoke with confidence.
It was not afraid of powerful evil beings.
It often stood from the perspective of an evil hero, using the harshest words to reprimand them.
Without Lin Fan, with the evil rooster's haughty temperament, it would probably be difficult for it to move a single step. It might even die without knowing how.
The evil rooster said, "What kind of look are you giving me? I am a hero among evil beings. I admit your strength is great, but you should understand that strength doesn't represent everything. A clever mind is the only hope for survival."
"Let's go, leave this place, and find a place suitable for your survival."
The domineering evil rooster stood at the peak of evil, speaking the most domineering words.
The Evil Overlord let out a low growl.
The evil rooster wasn't flustered at all.
It was all bluff and bluster.
It might have been scared before.
But now... it didn't care at all.
The sound of metal scraping was endless. Lin Fan's fingers touched the sword sphere, feeling an extremely sharp sword Qi and an indestructible body. It was a confrontation between spear and shield.
Lin Fan tried to pry open a corner of the sword sphere.
Solid, firm, unmoving.
"What's inside?"
Lin Fan pondered, then clenched his five fingers and punched through the sword sphere that even the Evil Overlord couldn't break. Through the hole, he could see a human figure inside.
Old Master Bai Yun spat out blood.
The breaking of the sword sphere had greatly injured him.
The Evil Overlord, provoked by the evil rooster, wanted to try to sneak attack Lin Fan again, but when it saw him punch through the sword sphere, it loosened its fist, lowered its head, and said nothing.
As expected…
Thinking too much was just deceiving itself. More regret, more blows, were things it could never accept.
"Old Zhang, do you recognize him?" Lin Fan asked.
Old Zhang peered inside, "He looks familiar."
"Think about it."
"I'm thinking."
Then, they looked at each other, their eyes shining, and said in unison, "I know who he is… You say it first."
After a slight pause, both of them said with a chuckle, "Old Sword God Bai Yun."
"Hee hee!"
This cheerful way of communicating seemed like a psychotic episode in the eyes of others.
"Crazy," the evil rooster muttered.
Lin Fan peeled away the rest of the sword sphere. The sword defense that even the Evil Overlord couldn't break was like mud in Lin Fan's hands, easily peeled away.
It wasn't difficult at all.
"Old Sword God Bai Yun, are you alright? Don't sleep, wake up." Lin Fan grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
Old Zhang said solemnly, "Do we need me to give him acupuncture? I think with my ability, I can definitely wake him up."
"But he's not injured," Lin Fan said.
"But he's bleeding," Old Zhang said.
Lin Fan pondered, "That makes sense. Let's try it then. I believe in your ability. You can definitely wake him up."
Old Zhang vowed, "Definitely."
Only when it came to acupuncture did Old Zhang show the most confident look, and his eyes even sparkled. Others might not believe in Old Zhang, but he absolutely believed in him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Old Zhang stick needles in him for so many years.
Although he ended up in the hospital every time.
But being hospitalized proved that Old Zhang was capable. If he wasn't capable, he wouldn't be hospitalized.
This explanation was flawless.
Very stable.
Old Zhang took out his precious needles, holding a silver needle between his fingers, circling Old Sword God Bai Yun, looking for the best acupuncture points.
Groan~
When this old monster sound appeared, it meant someone was about to wake up.
Old Sword God Bai Yun's eyelashes trembled. He sensed someone behind him and his vigilance exploded. He raised his hand and grabbed towards Old Zhang. Lin Fan was faster, directly grabbing Old Sword God Bai Yun's wrist.
"Awake?"
Old Sword God Bai Yun was surprised. After seeing that it was a human, he relaxed his guard. "Awake."
Lin Fan said, "Old Zhang, no need for needles, he's awake."
Old Zhang looked disappointed and reluctantly put away his silver needles. "I still wanted to show off my skills."
At this moment, Old Sword God Bai Yun realized that the surroundings were dim and the evil aura was very strong. He was obviously in evil territory, and these two people in front of him were likely experts sent by the Xia Capital headquarters.
However… they were unfamiliar. He hadn't seen them before.
"Evil being…"
Old Sword God Bai Yun saw at a glance that the evil rooster was not human, or rather, not an ordinary rooster. He slapped his palm towards the evil rooster.
Slap!
Lin Fan stopped him again.
"It's my pet."
Lin Fan held the evil rooster in his arms, not understanding why the other party wanted to hurt his pet. It was dangerous. How could people be so violent these days?
Pet?
Old Sword God Bai Yun didn't ask further and didn't pay attention to the Level 3 evil being. Then he saw the Evil Overlord standing by the throne, and his expression changed drastically.
"Be careful, this is a Heavenly King level evil being, very powerful. You go first, I'll cover your retreat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Sword God Bai Yun charged towards the Evil Overlord, his palms empty of a sword, but able to condense a sword with Qi.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang looked at each other, not understanding the situation. They felt that the other party was strange. Why was he fighting so desperately? Was it because he had something urgent to do?
The Evil Overlord sensed that this human expert's aura was very weak. Just as it was about to strike a fatal blow, it thought of Lin Fan. If it killed a human in front of him, it might not survive.
Sigh!
The pressure of reality made it difficult for the Evil Overlord to display its former dominance.
It threw a punch.
It didn't dare to use too much force.
Old Sword God Bai Yun was directly knocked back, staggering backward. He spread his arms to steady himself, his face slightly pale.
"I used too much energy earlier using Sword Qi Body Protection. Now I can only exert 10% to 20% of my strength."
In a moment, Old Sword God Bai Yun let out a low growl, brought his palms together, then raised them above his head, like a peacock spreading its tail. Behind him, numerous sword Qi condensed into the shapes of swords.
"Ten Thousand Swords Path."
He pushed his palms forward.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Ten thousand swords launched simultaneously, transforming into a sword dragon, continuously bombarding the Evil Overlord's body.
"Go!"
Old Sword God Bai Yun, his face even paler after using his ultimate move, grabbed Lin Fan and Old Zhang by the collars and rushed towards the exit of the cave.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang were stunned the entire time.
What was this Old Sword God doing?
He could clearly leave slowly, so why was he so hasty? Was it because he had something urgent?
The Evil Overlord stood there motionless.
Letting the myriad swords bombard it.
They didn't even break its skin.
Old Sword God Bai Yun's remaining strength was too weak. Even using his ultimate move was useless. The power was too weak, not like his peak state.
In this situation, not only were Lin Fan and Old Zhang a little confused, but even the Evil Overlord was confused.
Was this old man sick?
This Overlord was standing here, hadn't moved, hadn't even said a word, and he came up with a flurry of actions, then panicked and fled… Was someone chasing him?
With that human present, it hadn't dared to make a move until now.
The Evil Overlord felt that this place was not suitable to stay for long.
It was too dangerous.
