None of the beings from the various races who had come to rescue the ascenders were weak. This was especially the case for the white robed man who was wielding the sword. His cultivation state was even higher than the leader of the ancient race beings.
Evidently, there shouldn't be much of a problem with the rescue this time around.
However, there was something that puzzled Lin Fan. If the ancient race beings were to be killed every single time an ascender came up, wouldn't that be way too unreal?
"Something's not right. No matter how stupid the ancient race beings are, they can't possibly allow the thousands of races to succeed every single time." Lin Fan hid in the shadows and observed the situation up ahead.
"Eh? These ancient race beings seem really calm." Lin Fan looked at the expressions on the faces of these ancient race beings. They weren't as flustered as they were when he had just ascended and was ambushed by the thousands of races. Instead, they were calm and composed, as though everything was under their control.
"I know that man. He's Bai Yichen of the Sword World. He's really strong, azure celestial full cultivation." Xia Zehua observed the situation up ahead.
Lin Fan opened up the fugitive list and did a quick search. He was shocked by this fella's ranking.
Even though it wasn't all that high up, it was still in the 600,000s. Lin Fan was only in the tens of millions. Naturally, there was no way he could compare with this guy.
"I'm afraid there's nothing much for us to do this time around. That Bai Yichen's sword skills are unparalleled in this world. Even within the Sword race, he's extremely famous. Big Brother Lin, should we retreat or just watch?" Mu Liang asked.
"Just watch …" The moment Lin Fan heard this, he was a little indignant.
Famous? By the time the Young Master grew stronger, he would definitely be someone who could shake the entire world with his might. In fact, he would definitely be much more famous than this Bai Yichen.
All of the ascenders who were trapped in the cages did not know what was happening right now. However, the moment they saw that someone was here to rescue them, they were naturally overjoyed.
This was especially the case when they sensed the immense aura emanating from these people. Their hearts skipped a beat.
Back in the Lower World, they were the top overlords. Therefore, it was only natural for them to be prideful. However, these people who were here to rescue them were way stronger than them. This caused them to feel a sense of disappointment in their hearts.
...
"They're fighting … they're fighting." Mu Liang whispered.
The sharp sword in Bai Yichen's hand glowed with a godly light as his Unparalleled Sword Will swept across the Heavens and Earth. Compared to Lin Fan's Sword Will, his Unparalleled Sword Will was way stronger.
"This doesn't make any sense …!" Looking at how the beings of the thousands of races were slaughtering with such ease, Lin Fan was bewildered.
Of course, this wasn't because Lin Fan wished for them to be annihilated by the Ancient race. However, wasn't everything going a little too smoothly?
Could it be that he was thinking too much? Those Ancient race beings were truly idiots. They weren't faking it.
'Weng …!'
Just at this moment, the entire void trembled. Even Lin Fan and the others could feel this aura.
"He's here …" Lin Fan's face froze up. Indeed, it was as he had expected. This time around, the ancient race would definitely not be the same as before.
At this moment, the skies in the distance suddenly darkened. Boundless dark clouds covered the entire sky. Within those pitch-black clouds, a tear appeared in the void all of a sudden.
A majestic and desolate aura gushed out from the crack in the void, and the sound of a huge bell resounded through the void.
"HAHA! You're finally here! I've been waiting for you guys for a long time!"
A pitch black figure appeared from the tear in the void. This was an ancient race being who had appeared. He was much stronger than the other ancient race beings.
With a single roar, all of the ascended beings who had been locked up in the cages started bleeding from all seven orifices as their mental states were scattered.
"S-so strong …!" Even though he was this far away, Lin Fan could feel the blood within his body rumbling.
"Seems like it's a tragedy this time around." Lin Fan sighed. It seemed like these people were going to have to die here.
'Desolate celestial lower level.'
This was a cultivation state that Lin Fan did not even want to fight. After all, the difference was simply way too great. There was no way he could even fight.
The Xuanhuang World could not be compared to the Ancient Saint World.
In the Xuanhuang World, even though the Will of the Heaven and Earth was strong, it couldn't even compare to one ten-thousandth of the Ancient Saint World.
The fact that Lin Fan could fight monsters that were one level higher was already something that could shake the entire world. But now, he wanted to fight three levels higher? Wasn't this just a fool's dream?
...
At this moment, Bai Yichen's face changed. He had not expected an ancient race tribunus to come this time around.
Not only that, the strength of this ancient race tribesman was an entire cultivation state higher than his own.
"Everyone, please retreat first." That resolute face of Bai Yichen's revealed a look of worry. The seven feet green sword in his hands was wrapped with a Sword Will, sealing off all paths of escape.
"Bai Yichen, the people of the Sword race have killed countless ancient race tribesmen. Their sins are unforgivable. You guys are courting death by coming here this time around!" The ancient race tribunus took a step forth as a tremendous aura burst forth from him. "I've already set up a trap here. No one shall leave this place!"
Suddenly, a loud roar rang out from within the valley. A large group of ancient race tribesmen surrounded the entire valley, forming an encirclement.
At the sight of this situation, all of the initially excited ascendants were filled with despair.
Even though their mental fortitude was resolute, that last bit of hope they had was slowly being destroyed at this moment. To them, the fact that they were in the hands of this pitch-black and ugly bunch was definitely not going to end up well.
...
"Big Brother Lin, let's hurry up and retreat. There's nothing we can do to save this place." Looking at the ancient race tribesmen, Mu Liang's initial excitement had vanished into thin air.
The difference in strength was simply way too great. If he were to head up right now, he wouldn't be a hero anymore. He would be an idiot!
"Brother Lin, there's truly no chance anymore." Xia Zehua replied.
Lin Fan had heard the words of the righteous party in his heart as well. However, looking at the situation right now, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
But even if there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, given his current strength, there was no hope at all. If he were to head up now, he would just be sending himself to his death.
Why did the word 'righteousness' sound so weird? Just which b * stard was the one who came up with it?
Back in the Xuanhuang World, the Young Master was a righteous young man who stood up for justice. Whenever he met with injustice, he would naturally pull out his sword to lend a helping hand.
Even if he were to meet with a situation where he was being suppressed, he would still be domineering and impressive.
Looking at the scene before him right now, if he were to just sit idly by and watch someone die, that would be a little unbecoming of him.
But, how should he go about doing so?
This was a question that stumped Lin Fan.
Even though Bai Yichen was being pushed back repeatedly, he was barely holding on right now.
Even though sword wielders were all domineering people, to be slapped in the face the moment they appeared was still pretty pitiful.
"Brother Lin, let's go. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. One day, we'll definitely kill these ancient race tribesmen with our own hands. Now that we're weaker than them, it's not because we're cowards that we're hiding. It's because we want to preserve our strength." Looking at how Lin Fan was still hesitating, Xia Zehua thought that he couldn't let go of his pride. Hence, he consoled him.
"That's right, Big Brother Lin. Our party leader is right. We know that you're not afraid of death. But, the difference in strength is just too great. If we were to head up now, we'd just be sending ourselves to our deaths." Mu Liang continued.
"Don't argue …!" Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively.
The scene before him right now was a rare opportunity. As the saying went, 'Riches come with risks'. If he were to miss this chance, it would be gone forever.
"That's right …!" Suddenly, Lin Fan's mind spun as he thought of a brilliant idea.
In fact, he could even kill two birds with one stone.
