61: Chapter 61 Reversing Fate and Cleansing Marrow Realm

A coffin?

Could it be that Lin Fan has already... is he giving his last words?

"Lin Fan! Hold on! I won't allow you to die! Do you hear me!!" Liu Haoran roared into the microphone.

"Huh? I'm not dying."

On the other end of the communication, Lin Fan sounded somewhat confused. "I meant prepare coffins for those two foreigners. This ground full of minced meat is too unsightly; a bit of containment is a sign of respect for the strong. Oh right, remember to transfer their bounties to my card. Two Fourth Level Yuanzong Realm experts should be worth quite a bit, right?"

"..."

Liu Haoran's mouth hung wide open, as if a dead fly were stuck in his throat, unable to make a sound for a long time.

In the entire command center, from the general to the communicators, hundreds of people looked at each other with expressions that were vivid to the extreme.

He didn't die?

He even counter-killed them?!

"You... you mean..." Liu Haoran swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "Those two Fourth Level Yuanzong Realm experts were killed by you?"

"Yeah, just finished them off."

Lin Fan said as if it were a matter of course, "These two guys were too fragile. I hadn't even used much force before they fell. Commander, is the quality of current Fourth Level Yuanzong Realm experts really this poor?"

"..."

Liu Haoran only felt a tightness in his chest.

Poor quality?

Those were top-tier combatants capable of guarding an entire region! Do you think they're rotten cabbages from a wet market?!

"Lin Fan! Retreat immediately!"

Coming to his senses, Liu Haoran made a prompt decision. "Your current situation is too dangerous! Having slain multiple Yuan Zong Realm experts, you've become a thorn in the side of the Heavenly Snake Clan! Retreat to the Red Rock Supply Station immediately, that's an order!"

"I won't."

Lin Fan's refusal was crisp and direct.

"What did you say?!" Liu Haoran's eyes widened.

"Commander, I'm not retreating."

Lin Fan stood on a giant boulder, looking deep into the bloody battlefield in the distance, and tightened his grip on his blade.

"Now is our best opportunity for a counter-attack."

Lin Fan's voice became serious. "The Heavenly Snake Clan thinks they have us cornered, so their defensive lines are stretched very thin. As long as I continue to cause chaos here and draw their high-end combat power toward me, the pressure on other war zones will drastically decrease."

"Nonsense!!"

Liu Haoran roared, "You're gambling with your own life! Do you know your current value? As long as you live, you'll be a Human King in the future! There's no need to fight to the death here!"

"Commander."

Lin Fan interrupted him.

"I've heard a saying."

"If the mountains and rivers are no more, what use is it to keep my broken body?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the communication channel fell silent.

Liu Haoran was stunned.

The generals around him who were listening through the public frequency were stunned.

Even the soldiers fighting bloodily on the battlefield, upon hearing these words, involuntarily tightened their grip on their blades.

If the mountains and rivers are no more, what use is it to keep my broken body?

Only those who have truly experienced the destruction of their country and home, and witnessed the brutality of foreign races, could understand the blood, tears, and determination contained in these twelve short words.

"Good... what a line, 'If the mountains and rivers are no more'!"

Liu Haoran's eyes turned red, and he slammed his fist on the table. "Lin Fan! Since you want to go crazy, then I'll go crazy with you!"

"Pass down my orders! Open a dedicated encrypted channel for Lin Fan! Deploy three 'Heavenly Eye' satellites to provide him with 24/7 real-time positioning support!"

"Any foreign race coordinates Lin Fan needs, send them to him immediately!"

"Yes!!"

Inside the command center, the response was earth-shattering.

Hanging up the call, Lin Fan glanced at the tactical terminal in his hand.

*Click.*

He skillfully disassembled the terminal, took out the miniature communication module inside, and stuffed it into his ear. This way, he wouldn't have to foolishly hold a phone on the battlefield.

"Major Lin!"

At this time, the several hundred veterans who had helped with the "bloodletting" earlier surrounded him.

The leading young soldier, with red eyes, gave Lin Fan a standard military salute. "We also want to go to the main Fulong Battlefield! Take us with you!"

"Don't."

Lin Fan waved his hand and grinned. "You guys are too slow; you'll mess up my rhythm of stealing kills."

Everyone was stunned, then smiled bitterly.

Indeed, compared to this lord, they were just burdens.

"Guard this place well."

Lin Fan patted the young soldier's shoulder. "Wait until I've slaughtered all the big guys inside, then you can come in and clean up the mess."

After speaking, Lin Fan's figure flashed and disappeared into the vast night.

For the next three days.

The Abyssal Battlefield welcomed an unprecedented nightmare.

Or rather, it was a nightmare for the Heavenly Snake Clan.

With the assistance of satellite positioning from the command center, Lin Fan initiated a frenzied "roll call" mode.

"Coordinates (324, 568), found two Second Concealment Primal Sect Realm experts resting."

"Received, delivery has arrived."

Three minutes later, two snake heads hit the ground.

"Coordinates (445, 890), an elite supply team of the Heavenly Snake Clan."

"Received, I'm going to stock up."

Five minutes later, the supply team was wiped out, and even the exotic beasts pulling the carts had their blood drained.

Wherever Lin Fan passed, a storm of blood followed.

The human defensive lines, which were originally at a disadvantage and suffocating under pressure, miraculously stabilized because of Lin Fan's activity.

Those Heavenly Snake Clan experts who were originally besieging human strongholds were forced to retreat for defense or were intercepted and killed by Lin Fan midway. The surviving Yuan Zong Realm experts of the human race saw their pressure drastically reduced and one after another joined other local battlefields.

The advantages accumulated bit by bit, eventually forming an irreversible torrent!

"Charge!!"

"Follow War God Lin! Kill these long worms!!"

The morale of the humans across the entire Abyssal Battlefield soared, and the sounds of battle cries shook the heavens.

Meanwhile.

On the military merit board of the Iron Blood Military Academy, that name was rapidly climbing to the top.

[Rank 1: Lin Fan]

[Military Merit: 12,580,000]

[Realm: Marrow Cleansing Realm (Late Stage)]

[Title: Fate-Defying Marrow Cleansing Realm]

The moment these statistics froze, the entire Zhen Yao City boiled over.

The Zhen Yao City officials even deliberately released a segment of drone-captured footage:

In the footage, a youth stood alone with a blade atop a mountain of foreign race corpses, stepping on the head of a Fourth Level Yuanzong Realm expert, with the blood-red setting sun filling the sky behind him.

This scene was deeply etched into everyone's hearts.

The title "Fate-Defying Marrow Cleansing Realm" spread like wildfire, becoming a faith in the hearts of countless young martial artists.

Deep in the Earth Abyss, Black Stone Fortress.

This was the front-line headquarters of the Heavenly Snake Clan.

*Bang!!*

A table made of obsidian was shattered by a single palm strike.

At the head of the hall sat a Heavenly Snake Clan powerhouse wearing dark gold battle armor, with a vertical eye growing between his brows.

War General Tianmu!

A terrifying existence at the peak of the Heavenly Origin Realm!

At this moment, substantial fire of rage erupted from his vertical eye as he looked at the several commanders kneeling below.

"Three days! A whole three days!"

War General Tianmu's voice exploded, "Two Fourth Level Yuanzong Realm experts fallen! Thirteen Three-Viscera Yuan Zong experts missing! Is this the battle report you give me?!"

"Lo... Lord, please calm your anger!"

A commander trembled, "That human brat is too slippery! And he seems to have some special concealment method; our spiritual power simply cannot lock onto him!"

"Useless! All excuses!"

He looked at the youth's figure on the light screen, his gaze becoming solemn.

Initially, he had only regarded Lin Fan as a slightly stronger ant, thinking that once the Fulong Battlefield was taken, he could crush him at will later.

But now, this ant had not only bitten him painfully but had also overturned his pot!
