NOVEL WEB Ch. 66
Chapter 66: Gu Fan: Lin Yi, I’m about to advance to the Primordial Yang Realm
The one-minute countdown had ended.
Gu Fan rose into the air and immediately flew toward the nearest target.
At that moment, the man who had already hidden himself inside his own base finally let out a sigh of relief.
He believed his base was the closest.
Naturally, it meant a lesser chance of getting caught while fleeing on the road.
If he were accidentally stalled by an Evolver Zombie, that would be fatal.
But just as he relaxed—
A figure appeared beside him.
“Counting you, there are more than eighty people. Not bad. Might consider assimilating you all later.”
The man was startled, but the next moment, his head was cleanly separated from his body.
Gu Fan casually tossed aside the severed head, memorized the location, and headed for the next site.
A few minutes later, the man’s corpse was discovered by his subordinates.
“This is bad! Boss has been killed!”
“Help! Did a Zombie get in?”
“How could this happen…”
Instantly, chaos erupted within the entire base.
At the Baihui Plaza Base in the south of the city—
This was a base jointly established by two Level 4 Evolvers.
At this moment, the two were basking in the joy of surviving a great disaster.
“I told you not to provoke Gu Fan, that guy doesn’t even seem human!”
“Damn Huang Quan and Qian Lidong, now we’re in this mess. We’d better be extremely cautious from now on. We absolutely must not run into Gu Fan.”
As they spoke, the glass wall beside them suddenly shattered.
Two sharp shards of glass shot forward like daggers, piercing precisely into both of their throats.
“Gurgle…”
The two looked at the Young Man in Ancient Robes who suddenly appeared, as blood kept gushing from their throats.
Gu Fan swept the place with his divine sense—more than one hundred sixty people.
Not bad. These could serve as laborers. Once he returned to the cultivation world, he could rely on manpower to transport Zombie Corpses.
Thinking of this, Gu Fan felt pleased and kicked off toward the next location.
…
In just half an hour, Gu Fan had single-handedly massacred the leaders of more than thirty Survivor Bases in the southern part of the city.
Suspended in midair, Gu Fan sensed the surroundings.
“One last location remains. It should be that former official Security Base. Let’s wrap this up.”
At this time, back at the Security Base, Huang Quan had lost his usual composure.
“Someone!”
“Here, Leader!”
Huang Quan swallowed hard, then forcibly steadied himself and said,
“Deploy all firepower to protect me!”
The subordinate froze for a second but dared not question anything.
“Yes, sir!”
Soon, a fifty-person squad in full gear surrounded Huang Quan tightly.
Only then did Huang Quan feel slightly relieved.
This Gu Fan was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Even a Zombie Horde numbering over a hundred thousand had not caused him the slightest trouble.
Huang Quan couldn’t even imagine how the other party had managed to deal with the situation.
It was utterly incomprehensible!
Not to mention there had been a Level 5 Zombie King among the horde!
Thinking of this sent a deep chill through his heart.
At that moment, a commotion arose in the crowd.
Huang Quan stood up to look, his face turning pale as snow.
It was Gu Fan!
“Gu Fan! This entire incident was Qian Lidong’s idea. He has already been executed. Spare me, and from now on, the Security Base will answer only to you!”
Gu Fan walked over slowly through the air.
His steps were light, as if he were in a good mood.
“No need. Even if I kill you, the Security Base will still be mine.”
“If you kill me, they won’t follow your orders!”
Gu Fan smiled.
“If they don’t obey, then I’ll just kill them all.”
As the two spoke, they drew closer and closer.
Seeing no way out, Huang Quan’s gaze turned vicious and resentful.
“Open fire!”
In the next moment, all fifty people opened fire in unison with guns of various sizes!
Instantly, a web of firepower was formed, all aimed at Gu Fan!
But—could modern weapons be of any use against a cultivator?
The answer was naturally no.
A barrier lit up in front of Gu Fan—it was a protective shield formed by spiritual energy.
All incoming bullets seemed to have entered a field where time had stopped.
They all froze mid-air, unable to move forward even slightly.
This left all the shooters completely dumbfounded.
Ratatatat…
Finally, after a few minutes of shooting—
The last burst of gunfire ceased.
All bullets had been expended.
Seeing this, Gu Fan gently waved his hand, and all the bullets fell to the ground like rain, clattering as they landed.
“Today, Huang Quan must die. Leave now and you may live. Otherwise, die with him!”
Everyone looked at each other but didn’t make a move.
It wasn’t that they were truly risking their lives to protect Huang Quan—they were still weighing their options.
Huang Quan had ruled them for a long time, and his authority was deeply ingrained.
Seeing this, Gu Fan shrugged.
Labor in the apocalypse was indeed precious, but those who didn’t obey were not worth keeping.
“In that case… then die…”
He stomped his foot.
Ripples of black radiance swept through the crowd.
Pop pop pop!
It was as if balloons were bursting one after another.
In the next moment, all the firearms dropped to the ground, and the fifty men vanished into thin air, all turned into a mist of blood!
Huang Quan looked on in horror as if he had seen a ghost, retreating backward with hands and feet flailing.
But Gu Fan had lost the mood for toying around. He reached out with one hand and grabbed his throat.
“Of all people you could have provoked… sigh!”
Crack!
A pale-gray Living Soul was drawn out. Gu Fan swallowed it and patted his stomach.
“I’ve eaten quite a bit today. Time to go back and digest…”
After speaking, his figure vanished.
Inside the Hospital Shelter—
Beside the blood pool, Gu Fan watched the Evil Lotus happily absorbing the blood-red pills.
Each of these was condensed from the flesh and blood of at least ten thousand Zombies, and one was even made from over a hundred thousand.
He believed even the Evil Lotus would need a good amount of time to digest them.
After pouring in a large batch of Spirit Stones again, Gu Fan only kept some Spirit Stones as reserves.
Once he returned to the sect and sold off the Spiritual Herbs and various Magical Tools obtained from the hunt, it would be another fortune.
Gu Fan patted the Evil Lotus.
“Eat well and grow fast. I’m about to break through to the Primordial Yang Realm.”
The Evil Lotus spun and swayed in the blood pool, then a streak of violet light drilled into Gu Fan’s head.
After a pause, Gu Fan was pleasantly surprised—the Evil Lotus could now communicate.
“Once you finish absorbing, you’ll be able to condense another lotus seed?”
Gu Fan had experienced the benefits of the lotus seed firsthand.
The previous one had granted him the Green Lotus phenomenon.
It allowed him to burst out with ten times his combat power for a short period.
If not for that ability, he couldn’t have possibly defied a Primordial Yang Realm Old Ancestor while still in the Spirit Sea Realm!
If the first seed was that powerful, then what about the second?
Thinking of this, Gu Fan became excited, wishing he could help the Evil Lotus absorb the flesh and blood faster.
But he soon calmed down.
The most important thing now was to advance to the Primordial Yang Realm.
Inside the Spirit-Sealing Jar, there were still over two hundred thousand Living Souls waiting to be refined.
So, Gu Fan soothed the Evil Lotus, then greeted Xia Yan before turning back to the cultivation world.
Inside the Gu Residence in Huiyun City—
Gu Fan walked out of his room and flew straight toward the outskirts of the city.
Lin Yi hadn’t slept. Hearing movement, he immediately followed.
“Brother Gu, where are you heading?”
Gu Fan turned and stopped, his expression somewhat complex.
“Lin Yi, I think you’d better go back. I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle the blow.”
“Haha, Brother Gu, what kind of thing could I not handle? Just say it!”
Gu Fan paused.
“I’m about to break through to the Primordial Yang Realm!”
Lin Yi: “???”
