Chapter 629: Chapter 629: The True Ferocious Beast

"Puff!"

A trail of black smoke shot out from Lin Fan’s palm.

In an instant, it enveloped several miles around.

The dense fog carried a pungent, fishy stench.

This caused Zhao Jiaqi, who was tucked under Lin Fan’s arm, to feel an unprecedented sense of panic.

"What happened?"

"The crystal ball broke."

Lin Fan looked helplessly at the swirling black smoke.

Although it was hard to see clearly, the malevolent threat it exuded made him feel a chill as well.

"No way, big brother, what are you doing, such an important thing, how could you not handle it carefully?"

Zhao Jiaqi frowned.

Just now, she thought Lin Fan was very clever, not even giving Xu Shiyong a chance to smash the crystal ball.

But unexpectedly, he ended up breaking it himself.

"Do you think I wanted this? If I hadn’t caught it with my hands, you would have been killed by them."

Lin Fan furrowed his brows.

Although the thing in the black smoke was very powerful.

The person who had just ambushed him was not weak either.

However, now with the smoke billowing, he could no longer see clearly.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind struck.

With the black smoke tumbling around, Lin Fan could see nothing.

But judging by the sound, it was probably not something ordinary.

He quickly held Zhao Jiaqi tight and leaped high, landing a dozen meters away in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

As soon as they landed, the spot where they had just been standing was gouged out into a large pit.

The off-road vehicle was even flipped onto the ground.

"Such big eyes!"

The next moment, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared about ten meters above the ground.

The eyes, shining with a beastly gleam, stared intently at them.

Gradually, the entire body also emerged.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Lin Fan looked astonished at the huge head, which was actually that of a tiger.

But the lower body was that of a giant mantis.

Such a discordant form, it was hard to tell what it actually was.

But whatever it was, its terrifying combat power was definitely not trashy.

"Roar!"

As the tiger roared, the dense black smoke was blown away.

The gigantic body suddenly sprang forward, pressing down on Lin Fan like a small mountain.

"Damn, we’re in trouble now."

With no time to administer an antidote to Zhao Jiaqi, Lin Fan could only dodge to the side.

But the next moment, the monster’s two foreclaws sliced through the air towards him.

"Boom!"

The massive impact force gouged a deep trench in the ground.

The sturdy asphalt road surface instantly crumbled.

Seeing the ground break apart like tofu, Lin Fan couldn’t help but gasp.

If he were hit, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"There’s someone on top of the truck."

Zhao Jiaqi, however, noticed at a glance that a woman in a red robe had already leaped onto the back of the truck.

Raising a blade that glinted with a bewitching light, she split the container in two as if slicing through tofu.

"Let it be, it’s all fake anyway, let’s get out of here first!"

The beast’s attack left Lin Fan unable to retaliate.

Especially since the container was just bait, and since the opponent was still unaware, he had to take the opportunity to escape quickly.

So, holding Zhao Jiaqi, he ran wildly towards the distant ridge.

The beast, no longer paying attention to anything else, continued to roar and charge down.

"Swoosh!"

But just as they had escaped not long ago, a blinding light suddenly appeared behind them.

The auspicious light, carrying a holy aura, illuminated the entire sky.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Fan instinctively turned his head, his gaze fixed on the source of the light.

He saw that the light was actually emanating from a cracked container.

"It’s the light from the Wind Stabilizing Pearl... Oh no... How did the Wind Stabilizing Pearl end up on our truck!"

Zhao Jiaqi’s words made Lin Fan involuntarily inhale sharply.

"Wasn’t it agreed it was just a decoy, why did the emperor put it on our truck!"

"Never mind me... Hurry and protect the Wind Stabilizing Pearl!"

Zhao Jiaqi’s anxious shout echoed; this object was even more important than her own life.

But at this moment, several miles away, there was still a monster in pursuit.

"Can I even protect it? Call for backup now."

Lin Fan couldn’t possibly leave her behind and return alone.

Now was not the time to argue over who was right or wrong.

The only option was to call for backup to come, perhaps then they could stop the opposition.

Meanwhile, on the other side, standing atop the container and looking at the radiant light inside was a figure, his lips curling into a cold smile.

Indeed, the information from the giant rat was accurate.

"This treasure is interesting, let me handle it!"

In the darkness, Beitiao Qian Naizi, controlling eight puppet strongmen, waved her hand.

Four puppets immediately charged towards the container.

But just as they reached the gap and before they could act,

the bodies that were touched by the sacred light began to disintegrate into ashes.

"Damn it, I can’t get close!"

Beitiao Qian Naizi then realized that the Wind Stabilizing Pearl possessed potent Heaven and Earth Mysterious Power.

Her puppets couldn’t get close, which meant they couldn’t take it away.

"If it can’t be taken, then destroy it!"

The figure’s face twisted into a fierce grin as he tightly grasped the demon blade in his hands.

As she concentrated power, dark red runes started appearing all over her body, face, and feet.

Suddenly, she leaped high into the air and slashed downwards.

"Bang!"

A loud bang resounded, the monstrous qi madly rushed towards the container.

But the holy light, like a barrier, continuously combated the demon blade.

This battle between black and white came with deafening thunder.

Although the figure struggled to advance even slightly, the fading holy light indicated the Wind Stabilizing Pearl might not hold out much longer.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a furious roar echoed.

From the direction Lin Fan had escaped, a figure shrouded in black fire swiftly approached.

Taking a hard hit from the monster, Lin Fan endured the severe pain throughout his body.

He exerted all his strength to the utmost.

No matter what, he had to find a way to protect the Wind Stabilizing Pearl.

"Your opponent is me!"

Seeing that Lin Fan was about to arrive,

Beitiao Qian Naizi quickly controlled the eight puppets, sending them flying towards Lin Fan.

With their claws bared, they forcibly blocked his path.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Fan no longer held back at this moment.

He released all his Demon Qi.

With one punch, he directly shattered the first two puppets that charged at him.

With another kick, two more puppets were demolished.

But the remaining four still did not retreat, seizing the opportunity to grab onto Lin Fan’s limbs.

The shattered puppets quickly congregated around Lin Fan, forming a cage that enclosed him.

"This time, let’s see where you can run!"

Beitiao Qian Naizi’s lips twisted into a wicked smile.

The heads of those puppets suddenly detached and transformed into eight sharp swords, thrusting towards Lin Fan.

Now that he couldn’t move, he was like a sitting duck.

This strike was enough to cause him severe injury.

"Break!"

Just as the blades were about to pierce Lin Fan,

accompanied by his roar, the black fire spread and forcefully shattered all the puppets.

And when Lin Fan raised his head again after falling to the ground, his appearance had changed completely.
