Chapter 278: Chapter 277: Want to Escape? Too Late!

Menghu took steps steadily towards this side, its body exuding a strong aura while its eyes were filled with a chilly intent. As it casually opened its mouth, waves of a bloody stench swept over them, and without a doubt, as these young men and women sensed the smell of blood, they felt waves of terror, the more faint-hearted among them even started to shiver uncontrollably.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan’s brow slightly furrowed. At this moment, his heart was very annoyed. These guys, to dare show up even now?

Lin Fan took a step forward, and at the same time, a powerful aura burst forth from him. He yelled in a loud voice: "Scram!"

As Lin Fan spoke, his thoughts moved and energy converged to form the Illusion Spear. The Illusion Spear, looking almost tangible, thrust at Menghu intending to stab it to death.

At this moment, Lin Fan’s strength had reached an extreme limit; unless he encountered a super strong adversary, normally, he wouldn’t need to use the Sky Breaking Divine Spear at all. The Illusion Spear he condensed was already overwhelmingly powerful.

When the Illusion Spear lunged to stab, Menghu suddenly sensed endless danger locking onto itself.

"Escape!"

Without any hesitation, Menghu turned around to flee.

Just feeling the fierceness in the Illusion Spear, Menghu knew it was no match for Lin Fan and that if it didn’t escape now, there might never be another chance.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and said, "Think you can escape? Too late!"

The speed of the Illusion Spear suddenly increased, and just as Menghu had started to flee, the Illusion Spear had already reached it and directly pierced through Menghu’s body.

"Ah-oh!"

Menghu let out a massive roar as its huge body fell to the ground, and after moving a few times, it died.

Just like that, Lin Fan easily killed Menghu.

The surrounding young men and women were even more astonished.

Originally, when Menghu appeared, they all thought Lin Fan was no match for it, but unexpectedly, the outcome was... Lin Fan effortlessly slaying Menghu?

This was indeed too surprising for them.

"This person is really too powerful!"

This was what everyone was thinking in their hearts.

"Big brother!"

The girl who Lin Fan had rescued earlier was the first to come to her senses, walked up to Lin Fan, and said, "My name is Luo Xiaoling, may I know your name, big brother?"

While speaking, the girl’s eyes shone, and her look towards Lin Fan was also somewhat fervent.

One must understand that the girl had always lived in an affluent household; naturally, her standards were exceptionally high. Ordinary young men pursued her crazily, but she remained indifferent.

But just now...

When she faced Lin Fan, she had started to feel attracted.

In her heart, Luo Xiaoling even crazily thought: "He is the Prince Charming in my heart!"

"My name is Mu Yi!"

Lin Fan spoke lightly.

Although he had now arrived at Imperial City, Lin Fan decided to continue using a false name, for Lin Fan couldn’t rule out that Old Dragon Subduing might come to the Imperial City. Besides, Lin Fan’s main purpose in coming to the Imperial City was to search for his mother’s whereabouts, and sometimes, it was more convenient to use a false name.

"So you are Brother Mu Yi!"

The girl happily said: "By the way, Brother Mu Yi, are you perhaps also out here for training experience?"

"Training experience?"

Lin Fan gave a wry smile and said: "I’m not here for training experience. I’m from another city, it’s just that unfortunately I don’t have a City Entrance Order, so I’m unable to enter the city, that’s all."

"Oh, I see!"

The girl smiled warmly: "Brother Mu Yi, why don’t you enter the city with us? Don’t worry, we have a way to get you in."

The other young men and women also said: "Yes, Young Hero, please come with us to the city."

After all, Lin Fan had saved them earlier, and though these young men and women weren’t very strong, their judgment was good. They could tell Lin Fan was a very formidable person and definitely wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

Of course, not everyone was friendly towards Lin Fan, such as one of the young men among these people, who looked at Lin Fan with hatred in his eyes, only that he was hiding it well, so others didn’t notice.

His name was Liu Jiang, a crazy pursuer of the young lady Luo Xiaoling.

You should know, previously, Liu Jiang’s pursuit of Luo Xiaoling was extremely fanatic, to the extent that he was relentless. More than once, he publicly announced that Luo Xiaoling was his woman.

However, Luo Xiaoling had always been lukewarm towards him.

At that moment, he could clearly see that Luo Xiaoling had developed feelings for Lin Fan, which naturally filled Liu Jiang with anger and hatred.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan frowned slightly, as he could definitely feel the hateful gaze from Liu Jiang.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan then sneered in his heart: "What an ungrateful wretch!"

But Lin Fan quickly returned to normal. He didn’t take Liu Jiang seriously at all. If Liu Jiang behaved, Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t do anything to him, but if Liu Jiang didn’t, Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t be courteous either.

Seeing that Lin Fan didn’t respond, Luo Xiaoling then said, "Brother Mu Yi, don’t hesitate anymore. Join us in entering the city. It’s getting dark soon, and once it gets dark outside, it will be extremely dangerous. Often, demon beasts from the Heavenly Profound Realm appear. Normally, even the mighty ones from the King Profound Realm are reluctant to spend the night outside the Imperial City. After all, it’s too dangerous. Even the mighty ones from the King Profound Realm would be in great danger if surrounded by many demon beasts from the Heavenly Profound Realm."

Lin Fan nodded.

At this moment, an idea struck Lin Fan—he indeed could enter the Imperial City with these people.

After all, he had saved their lives. It would be fair for them to take him into the Imperial City; neither party would then owe anything to the other.

"Brother Mu Yi, have you agreed?" Luo Xiaoling asked excitedly.

"Mhm!"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I’ll join you in entering the city then!"

Luo Xiaoling became even happier and went on to say, "Right, Brother Mu Yi! After we enter the city, you’re welcome to visit my home. My grandfather would surely be very happy to see you!"

The others, seeing Luo Xiaoling’s manner, all understood that the young girl had finally been smitten.

Liu Jiang became even more furious.

Soon after, everyone prepared to enter the Imperial City.

They all possessed City Entrance Orders, so naturally, it was no problem for them to enter the Imperial City. However, when it was Lin Fan’s turn, he was stopped by the city guards.

Nevertheless, Luo Xiaoling pulled aside one of the ranking military officers, whispered something to him, and then slipped something into his hand. The officer glanced over here before waving his hand and giving Luo Xiaoling a token.

Excited, Luo Xiaoling took the token and presented it to Lin Fan, saying, "Brother Mu Yi, this is your token. There’s no identity information in it yet; just leave your personal details inside, and you’ll be able to freely enter and leave the Imperial City in the future."

Lin Fan was also happy, for at last it wouldn’t be so troublesome.

At the same time, Lin Fan wasn’t pretentious and said, "Thank you."

Luo Xiaoling replied, "Brother Mu Yi, there’s no need for thanks, actually. After all, it was you who saved my life before. This is something I should do... I could even repay you with my hand in marriage!"

Lin Fan was taken aback and asked, "What did you say?"

"N-nothing, you must have heard wrong, Brother Mu Yi!" The young girl immediately blushed like a ripe red apple, ready to be plucked.

Lin Fan shook his head and didn’t say anything more.

In the background, everyone smoothly entered the Imperial City.

"Great, we’re finally back!"

Someone shouted with joy.

They had thought that they would never return, destined to die outside the Imperial City, so now that they had returned, they felt an immense sense of relief, feeling extremely fortunate.

Some young men and women took their leave and invited Lin Fan to visit their homes, but Lin Fan declined each offer in turn.

In the end, only Luo Xiaoling and Liu Jiang remained by Lin Fan’s side.

Along the way, Luo Xiaoling kept inviting Lin Fan to visit the Luo Family. Lin Fan intended to take a look; after all, he had a good impression of Luo Xiaoling. Furthermore, having just arrived in the Imperial City and with some time until the Royal Academy’s selection exams, Lin Fan was unsure of where to go. Since Luo Xiaoling invited him so actively, there was no harm in taking a look...

However, seeing that Lin Fan had actually accepted Luo Xiaoling’s invitation filled Liu Jiang with even greater fury. He wished he could kill Lin Fan, but it was a pity that he lacked the strength to act on his desire.

"Eh?"

At that moment, Luo Xiaoling exclaimed in surprise, and with a puzzled expression, she asked, "Liu Jiang, aren’t you going back to your home? Why are you following me?"

Luo Xiaoling’s attitude towards Liu Jiang had become extremely cold. To be honest, she used to have quite a favorable view of him—while not liking him much, she at least didn’t dislike him.

But during the incident outside the city, when she was about to be killed by the demon beast, Liu Jiang remained indifferent.

From that moment, the young girl’s heart no longer held any bit of fondness for Liu Jiang.

However, Liu Jiang brazenly said, "Xiaoling, I want to go with you to your home!"

Luo Xiaoling’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said, "What for? You should hurry back to your house. And from now on, you need not come looking for me anymore—the friendship between us has reached its end~!"
