Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

The eight people below lowered their heads slightly, held the wine glasses in front of them, and drank them all in one gulp.

Immediately, Xiao Yan put down his wine cup, grinned, and said, "Since the Demon Commander thinks we have made such great contributions, I wonder if you could grant us a request?"

Xu Zhong's eyes narrowed, and he said with a faint smile, "General Yan, please make your request."

"Remove the Dark Abyss Ghost Talisman from our bodies," Xiao Yan said slowly.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xu Zhong's smile gradually faded. He leaned forward slightly, his palms resting on his knees, his entire body exuding an astonishing pressure. He stared at Xiao Yan and said calmly:

"General Yan, are you testing my patience to the limit? Do you really think I will tolerate you forever?"

A chilling killing intent, impossible to conceal, surged from Xiao Yan's scarlet tiger eyes. "Xu Zhong, we both know the truth, why be so hypocritical?"

"You used the Dark Abyss Ghost Talisman to force me to stay in Thunder Abyss Mountain, wasn't it just because you wanted the other half of my inherited blood essence?"

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

The leaders of all sides looked at the sudden change in atmosphere with a sense of shock in their eyes. Was this scene a sign of a break between the top leaders of Thunder Abyss Mountain?

This gathering in the mountains today is quite unusual...

However, Yan Jiang's audacity in provoking Xu Zhong in this way surprised them somewhat.

Xu Zhong's face was gloomy. He stared at Xiao Yan, his hand slowly clenching into a fist, and then said indifferently, "I am very curious... In the past, you would only avoid me when you faced me. Why do you dare to do this today? Could it be that you think you have found some powerful backer?"

As he finished speaking, Xu Zhong's sinister gaze turned to Lin Fan and Lin Dong, who were standing next to Xiao Yan.

Inside the grand hall, all eyes began to shift, then looked suspiciously at the positions of Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Lin Fan slowly stood up, looked calmly at Xu Zhong on the throne, and said indifferently, "General Xu Zhong, things have come to this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore."

“You’ve always coveted the inherited blood essence in my brother’s body. Coincidentally, we’ve also set our sights on your half of the inherited blood essence. Hand it over now, and you might still be able to save your life.”

"Otherwise, today we will not only take your essence and blood, but also your life!"

The entire room fell silent; everyone was stunned into silence.

The faces of everyone in the hall were blank. They stared at the young man in the front seat with a slight daze. Some rubbed their ears, seemingly doubting the truth of what they had just heard.

"He wants to take Xu Zhong's life..."

Some people exchanged glances, then grinned, thinking that Lin Fan was indeed domineering, but perhaps a little too overconfident.

Xu Zhong is a top expert at the peak of the Death Profound Realm, only one step away from the Reincarnation Realm!

Lin Fan, it seems, is only at the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm.

It was hard for them to believe that a young man who had reached the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm would say he wanted to take the life of a peak expert in the Perfection of the Death Profound Realm.

At the very front of the grand hall, the atmosphere was exceptionally tense. The other seven generals, including Chen Tong and the others, all felt a chill run down their spines as they stared at the young man not far away.

They knew Lin Fan and his two companions would cause trouble today, but they didn't expect Lin Fan to be so domineering.

But now there's absolutely no turning back!

On the throne, Xu Zhong leaned slightly forward, his eyes fixed on Lin Fan, with a cold, bloodshot look slowly creeping out from them.

"Take my life?"

Xu Zhong's lips parted in a grin, and a laugh rang out. Then, his body trembled, and his loud laughter echoed throughout the entire grand hall.

After a moment, Xu Zhong slowly lowered his head, a mocking and sinister smile appearing on his lips. "You are not qualified to take my life!"

"Then you should give it a try!"

Xiao Yanhu's eyes flashed with ferocity as he slammed his palm down on the stone table in front of him. The stone table immediately whistled out, carrying astonishing force, and slammed fiercely towards Xu Zhong.

boom!

Xu Zhong's eyes turned cold, but his body remained motionless. The stone table exploded out of thin air when it was still about ten feet away from him, then turned into powder and slowly drifted away.

"Generals, arrest these three traitors!" Xu Zhong shouted coldly.

Swish!

Upon hearing Xu Zhong's order, Tian E immediately stood up, but his expression changed slightly as his gaze turned fierce.

He noticed that Chen Tong and the others beside him were all holding wine glasses, their expressions shifting, showing no intention of making a move.

Huo Miao glanced at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were fierce, then gritted his teeth and did not stand up to make a move.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you've really failed as a demon general."

As the voice fell, the space around Lin Fan slightly distorted, and then, as if by teleportation, he instantly appeared next to Tian'e Jiang. In his palm, a silver spatial blade appeared silently.

"laugh!"

With a sharp sound, while the Crocodile General was still in a daze, he was directly cleaved in two by the spatial blade, and even the demon spirit was annihilated on the spot!

“Now, you don’t even have a single supporter,” Lin Fan said with a slight smile as he casually took away Tian’e General’s Qiankun bag.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the giant hall couldn't help but gasp in shock!

Chapter 427 Facing Two Great Demon Generals, the Great Battle Begins! [Please Read On]

As one of the nine generals of Thunder Abyss Mountain, Crocodile was incredibly powerful. At least among those present, few dared to say they could defeat him.

But Lin Fan killed the Heavenly Crocodile General in just one move, which is too terrifying!

The guests inside the grand hall subconsciously took a few steps back, distancing themselves from Lin Fan, fearing they might suffer the same fate as the Heavenly Crocodile General.

The five generals, including Chen Tong, also changed their expressions abruptly, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

If Lin Fan hadn't held back last night, their fate would probably have been the same as that of the Heavenly Crocodile General before them!

"Bastard! You deserve to die!" Xu Zhong's expression changed drastically when he saw Lin Fan easily kill Tian'e General. He was filled with shock and anger.

Even he couldn't kill Tian'e General so easily!

Could Lin Fan's strength be greater than his?

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Zhong looked at Chen Tong and the others and said coldly, "Chen Tong, I'm giving you a chance. Capture General Yan within ten breaths, and I will let bygones be bygones!"

"As for those two humans, I will personally take action, and they will not escape death!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tong and his four companions exchanged glances, but showed no sign of making a move.

The Dark Abyss Ghost Talisman within them had been removed, so naturally they were unwilling to risk their lives for Xu Zhong, especially since they would have to face ruthless individuals like Yan Jiang and Lin Fan.

They had long experienced Yan Jiang's ruthlessness, and Lin Fan's terror was also confirmed by the killing of Tian E Jiang.

How could they possibly take action against Yan Jiang and Lin Fan now?

Lin Fan watched this scene with amusement, but he didn't rush to make a move. He also wanted to see if these five guys would be so foolish as to follow Xu Zhong's orders.

Everyone in the grand hall looked at Chen Tong and his group of five, wondering what choice they would make.

Ten breaths passed in the blink of an eye, but Chen Tong and his four companions showed no sign of making a move.

A vicious glint flashed in Xu Zhong's eyes. He then clenched his fist, and a black talisman appeared in his hand. He then crushed it with a sudden burst of energy.

However, as the black light talisman was crushed, the explosion he had imagined did not occur.

Chen Tong and the other four men's mouths twitched, and their eyes, which were fixed on Xu Zhong, finally turned ferocious. Their previous fear completely vanished at this moment!

They knew very well what that black light talisman was. If they still had the Dark Abyss Ghost Talisman in their bodies, they would probably have exploded and died by now!

"I have already removed the Dark Abyss Ghost Talisman from their bodies," Lin Dong said with a faint smile as he watched Xu Zhong's performance.

"I see..." Xu Zhong took a deep breath, his face turning slightly ashen. He then slowly turned his head, staring at Lin Fan and the other two, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace.

"After I capture you, I will plant a hundred Dark Abyss Ghost Talismans on your bodies, so you can have a good taste of this flavor!"

"You don't have that chance anymore," Lin Fan said calmly.

"I'll kill you first!"

Xiao Yan suddenly erupted, his fierce aura spreading outwards. Behind him, a vast amount of Yuan energy condensed, transforming into a dark light tiger that roared to the sky. His entire body then transformed into a sharp black light, slamming fiercely towards Xu Zhong.

The black light shot towards Xu Zhong like lightning, but just as it was about to collide, a black light flashed in the hall, and a black shadow appeared in front of Xu Zhong like a shadow.

Bang!

It was as if two giant fists had collided. A suffocating energy gust swept out from the point of contact, and both figures were forced back several steps, the bricks beneath their feet turning into dust!

As the strong wind dispersed, everyone looked over and saw a dark figure appear beside Xu Zhong. His entire body was shrouded in the shadow of a black robe, but the astonishing Yuan energy he exuded revealed his formidable strength.

"Shadow Guard!"

Chen Tong and the others stared at the mysterious black figure, their eyes narrowing slightly, but they were not surprised, presumably because they already knew of his presence.

Lin Fan glanced at the shadow guard and indeed, as Xiao Yan said, this person possessed the strength of the Death Profound Realm Perfection, which was not weak.

"I knew long ago that you, you beast, harbored murderous intent. Did you think you were the only one who was prepared?" Xu Zhong sneered.

Lin Fan scoffed, "If your preparations consist of just this Shadow Guard at the Death Profound Realm, they're probably not enough. Bring out your other backup plans as well!"

Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Xu Zhong's eyes, and he sneered, "Keep being arrogant, I'll see how long you can keep it up!"

Immediately, Xu Zhong called out to the side, "Brother Qin, please show yourself."

"Haha, Xu Zhong, it seems that what you said is true. Your number one general is planning to make a move against you in this mountain gathering!" As soon as Xu Zhong finished speaking, a loud laugh, like thunder, resounded in the huge hall.

Then, the top of the giant hall suddenly exploded, huge rocks fell, and a man wearing lion armor appeared in the eyes of many people with an astonishing aura.

"That's... the Demon Commander of Hundred Beast Ridge... Qin Shi...!"

Everyone stared at the lion-armored man who had suddenly appeared, their expressions changing drastically.

The faces of Chen Tong and his four companions suddenly turned deathly pale. Clearly, none of them had expected that Xu Zhong would actually invite a demon general!

"Xu Zhong, I promise to help you with something, but you know very well the price..." Qin Shi's loud laughter echoed in the huge hall like a lion's roar, making everyone's ears ache.

"Kill this human brat, and I will agree to your conditions," Xu Zhong said coldly, pointing in Lin Fan's direction.

In mid-air, Qin Shi's sharp gaze fell upon Lin Fan, and he grinned, "Alright, as you said!"

Qin Shi was outside the palace and could roughly sense the commotion, but he did not witness Lin Fan's instant kill of the Heavenly Crocodile General. Otherwise, he might not have agreed so readily.

"Roar!"

As soon as Qin Shi's laughter subsided, a lion's roar echoed. With a swift movement, he transformed into a dazzling golden light, which coalesced into a galloping golden lion, fiercely blasting towards Lin Fan.

The surrounding crowd, witnessing Qin Shi's terrifying attack, all changed their expressions, their eyes filled with deep fear.
