Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 79 - 00: Seizing Kingship and Dominance in One Fell Swoop

Chapter 79: Chapter 0079: Seizing Kingship and Dominance in One Fell Swoop

No mistake about it.

A small Earth Demon wielding a Soul Summoning Banner.

How terrifying.

At this moment.

Lin Fan saw his master make a move instantly and hurriedly shouted, "Spare him under the sword..."

Swish!

A streak of Geng Metal Mysterious Sword Intent flashed by, slicing through the wind shield of the Soul Summoning Banner and directly severing the small Earth Demon’s head. The speed was too fast—by the time Lin Fan finished speaking, the small Earth Demon’s head had already rolled to the ground.

"Sigh!"

Lin Fan sighed, heartbroken beyond words. Couldn’t it have been a little slower?

"Disciple, what’s the situation?" Fang Jiuzhen asked, puzzled, as though he hadn’t realized how impressive that move just was.

The small Earth Demon that had been strutting moments ago was now reduced to a mere corpse—a testament to the profoundness of his master’s cultivation.

Lin Fan certainly couldn’t tell Fang Jiuzhen, "I wanted to personally kill the small Earth Demon; otherwise, it wouldn’t drop any loot."

Thus, he had to adjust his narrative.

"Master, your disciple strives for immortality in order to exterminate demons and purge evil. Upon seeing the small Earth Demon’s appearance, fear crept into my heart. I wanted to personally slay it to overcome my inner trepidation."

Lin Fan’s explanation was flawless.

He couldn’t just openly display his desire for the small Earth Demon like a person hungry for fatty meat.

That would undoubtedly raise suspicion.

"Your reasoning is sound, disciple. It’s just that I acted too quickly. That small Earth Demon was too weak yet too arrogant, and I couldn’t tolerate it anymore. Next time we encounter Earth Demons, I will leave them for you," Fang Jiuzhen replied.

Fang Jiuzhen then summoned the intact Soul Summoning Banner.

"Disciple, this is a good treasure. That small Earth Demon in the Transcendent Realm who had reshaped Earth Fire could barely hold its own against Longevity First Level Foundation Establishment cultivators with this artifact."

Lin Fan wasn’t particularly interested in magical treasures for the time being.

What he wanted most now was to personally slay Earth Demons—everything else felt inconsequential.

Fang Jiuzhen gleefully stored the Soul Summoning Banner. He had no use for it, nor did the Immortal Sect disciples. Perhaps he could sell it off someday to subsidize expenses.

"Disciple, I’ll hold onto this item for now. You can’t use it yet. Otherwise, if seen by others, they might mistake you for a disciple of the demonic path."

He feared his newly-recruited disciple might misunderstand, so he added extra clarification.

"I’ll leave everything to Master’s judgment."

Lin Fan truly didn’t care about these items—he only wanted to kill Earth Demons with his own hands and loot supplies that were useful for his current needs.

Afterward, Fang Jiuzhen led Lin Fan further into the depths of the Earth Demon Plain.

With nothing much to do.

Fang Jiuzhen began explaining the situation here to Lin Fan.

Many Immortal Sect disciples came here for training.

But one shouldn’t consider the Earth Demons on the Earth Demon Plain as easy targets—some of them were quite formidable, and countless Immortal Sect disciples had perished here.

Lin Fan listened intently, nodding continuously, as if to signal his diligence in paying close attention to his master’s words. "Please, continue. I’m listening."

Such information was rather important to him.

Once his realm advanced further, he vowed to return and venture alone.

To Fang Jiuzhen, sharing these stories with Lin Fan held little significance; he was merely recounting them as if they were tales. Deep down, he believed this disciple would never truly engage with the Earth Demon Plain for his entire lifetime.

At this moment.

Lin Fan silently prayed in his heart: Earth Demons, please come! I beg you, hurry up and appear!

"Disciple, what are you muttering to yourself about?"

Fang Jiuzhen seemed quite baffled; his disciple kept mumbling under his breath, unclear and mysterious, since earlier.

"Nothing much; I was just thinking about whether I could overcome my fear the moment I meet an Earth Demon."

Lin Fan’s skill at lying with a straight face was remarkable.

He wanted desperately to venture further inside.

But recalling his master’s earlier remarks made him realize this was unlikely. It seemed his master himself was intimidated, so what were the chances he’d take Lin Fan deeper?

Suddenly.

Lin Fan’s eyes lit up—he spotted shadows in the distance.

"Master, look! There are Earth Demons over there!"

Fang Jiuzhen focused his gaze. "Hmm, that’s a squad of Earth Demons—four in total. Alright, I’ll capture them for you so you can build your courage."

Lin Fan’s face turned red with excitement.

Four Earth Demons—it was simply too wonderful.

The previous Earth Demon had been killed by his master, filling Lin Fan with regret. But now, luck had arrived—four Earth Demons all at once. It was unbelievably exhilarating.

At this moment.

Four Earth Demons wandered naked, engaging in conversation with one another.

All of a sudden.

A golden light swept in from afar, catching the Earth Demons’ bewildered gazes. The dazzling beam wrapped itself around one demon first, then quickly encompassed the other three.

The golden light was Fang Jiuzhen’s magical treasure, the Binding Immortal Rope.

The Earth Demons fell to the ground, struggling and roaring in panic, utterly confused by the situation. Were Immortal Sect disciples here for training? They hadn’t received any warning.

"Disciple, what do you think of my treasure? Had I not deliberately restrained it, this Binding Immortal Rope could’ve already refined those demons in just one sweep," Fang Jiuzhen said casually, a hint of pride in his tone.

Showing off.

He was showing off.

To let his disciple see just how powerful and domineering his master truly was.

"Incredible. Master, you’re astonishingly powerful. Such mastery is exactly the kind of direction your disciple aspires to pursue for a lifetime!" Lin Fan showered compliments with enthusiasm, glad to boost his master’s mood for more help.

"Hahaha." Fang Jiuzhen laughed triumphantly, his disciple’s praise making his ears warm with delight.

Yet, he failed to notice a glimmer in Lin Fan’s eyes as he gazed at the Earth Demons, like flames blazing with intensity.

Jackpot.

Absolute jackpot.

If luck wasn’t horrendously bad, today’s haul would surely be transformative for him.

[Small Earth Demon: Transcendent Realm, reshaped Three Flames.]

[Possible drops: Golden Spirit Root Fragment, Vital Sense, Quick Recovery, Cultivation for 220 years, Earth Demon Chopper, Fasting Pill.]

This Earth Demon’s drops were average; it held items.

[Small Earth Demon: Innate Realm.]

[Possible drops: Water Spirit Root Fragment, Vital Sense, Cultivation for 99 years, Fine Steel Trident.]

[Small Earth Demon: Immune to All Maladies.]

[Possible drops: Golden Spirit Root Fragment, Vital Sense, Cultivation for 180 years, Earth Gang Fist Technique.]

Among the three small Earth Demons, two were in the Transcendent Realm, while only one was in the Innate Realm. Yet, judging by its rewards, the one proficient in the Earth Gang Fist Technique must have slain Immortal Sect disciples; otherwise, it wouldn’t have acquired such an evidently decent Immortal Fist Technique.

The last Earth Demon, however, was extraordinary.

[Large Earth Demon: Longevity First Level Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[Possible drops: Earth Spirit Root Fragment, Vital Sense, Quick Recovery, Mana for 50 years, Hundred Treasures Pouch, Earth Demon Scale Armor.]

Exactly as expected.

Cultivation and mana were distinct concepts.

This Foundation Establishment Earth Demon possessed mana for fifty years.

If it dropped anything, it would be an absolute win.
