It wasn't just Wang Jian, everyone who heard this immediately revealed shocked looks.

They couldn't believe what they had just heard from Lin Fan.

Did Lin Fan just say that he wanted to cooperate with Wang Jian?

Who would believe that?

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked right into Lin Fan's gaze as he asked, "Are you kidding?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said in a serious voice, "I'm very serious. I think that you and I should work together."

Wang Jian kept staring right into Lin Fan's eyes and he could tell that he was indeed being serious, but that confused him even more. Even if he had been beaten, he was the one who had attacked him first, so normally wouldn't that mean that there would be some kind of hostility between them.

However, Lin Fan didn't show any of that.

Rather, it almost seemed like he wanted to be his friend instead which was just too confusing.

Still, Wang Jian didn't do anything right away as he looked at the people around them. Then he turned right back to Lin Fan and asked, "Why?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile and said, "It's better than working with the people you see around you, don't you think?"

Wang Jian was taken aback, but then he started chuckling before breaking out in laughter. Once he was done laughing, he said in a calm voice, "Isn't it too much if you're being this direct with them?"

Lin Fan said with the same faint smile, "I don't think so, do you?"

Wang Jian paused for a bit before shaking his head. Once he finished shaking his head, he fell into deep thought.

While he was afraid of Lin Fan because of the fight between them that caused his heart demon, he also knew that he was different from the people that were surrounding them. Unlike them who only cared about themselves, he was someone who at least showed compassion to people and tried to help them, even if they didn't appreciate it.

He had seen this during the trial in the ruins, when he had offered a chance at salvation to the people who had been dragged in with them. Even if they didn't take that chance, he had at least given them that chance, which was something that these people definitely wouldn't have done.

Then there was the fact that Mo Ze Chen followed him this closely and was willing to follow him.

Wang Jian had actually met Mo Ze Chen before, even if Mo Ze Chen wasn't aware of this.

Mo Ze Chen to a certain extent was famous because he was the man who was crazy about ruin excavations. As long as there were ruins, he would be the guy who would go into them, looking for any artifacts that he could find.

Wang Jian had run into Mo Ze Chen during one of his runs into the ruins and he had been able to see what kind of person Mo Ze Chen was. Mo Ze Chen was a good person by nature, but he was corrupted by the nature of this upper realm and was a bit selfish as well.

However, none of that compared to his passion for diving into ruins.

For Lin Fan to convince Mo Ze Chen to follow him to this degree, there must be something special about him that could pull Mo Ze Chen away from his precious ruins.

After thinking about it, Wang Jian paused for a second before saying, "Alright, I don't mind working with you, but what do you plan on doing?"

Lin Fan looked around them at this and then said with a dangerous smile, "Since they all want to take care of us, how about we take care of them first?"

Wang Jian also revealed a smile when he heard this and looked at the people around them, "So who goes first?"

Lin Fan could see how much Wang Jian wanted to fight, so he made an inviting gesture and said, "How about you go first then?"

Wang Jian nodded at this and raised his sword up above him as he moved past Lin Fan. Once he was past Lin Fan, he looked at one of the large groups and found the person he was looking for before charging right out at them.

While these people had been listening to the conversation between Wang Jian and Lin Fan, they had been panicking because of what it meant.

If Lin Fan and Wang Jian were to partner together, it would mean that they would be unstoppable.

To put it simply, the two of them together were just too powerful and unless there was one person restraining the other, they wouldn't have a way to deal with them. After all, while they were gathered in groups and they weren't weak, these groups weren't that closely knit since they were temporary alliances formed to deal with the two of them.

If they had to actually fight them at full strength, there was no way that these groups would work since they would abandon the person that was being attacked by either of them if they did attack. Which was also what had happened at this moment.

The moment that the people of this group found the person that Wang Jian was aiming for, they all moved away from that person to let him fend for himself.

That person didn't understand why Wang Jian was charging right at him, but that didn't mean that he was willing to give up that easily. That person immediately raised their sword to block Wang Jian's slash coming down at him while shouting, "Wang Jian, there is no grievance between us, why…!"

But before he could even finish, Wang Jian's sword had already fallen down on the sword that he had raised to block it.

Like cutting through tofu, that sword didn't last a single second as Wang Jian's sword had snapped it in half, cutting right through it without any resistance.

After cutting through that person's sword, Wang Jian's sword continued down to slash him right across his chest. However, Wang Jian was still aware of the rules and didn't cut too deeply, but he made sure that the wound would hurt as much as possible.

That person fell to the ground screaming in pain, clutching his chest as it bled and he shouted, "I'm dying, I'm dying, save me, save me!"

But everyone who saw this moved even further away and not a single person dared to help that person who had been cut by Wang Jian.

Seeing this, the person on the ground turned to the old woman and shouted, "Save me, do you know who I am? You even said in your rules that people can't be killed, so you should save me!"

The old woman just looked at him with a cold look, not doing a single thing.

The person on the floor began panicking when he saw this and he tried to crawl away from Wang Jian, creating a trail of blood across the floor which made his condition seem much worse than it actually was.

In fact, the wound that Wang Jian had inflicted was nothing more than a surface wound that didn't cut that deep. The only reason it was so painful was because Wang Jian had used a special technique which incited the pain nerves found under the skin to make it much more painful than it really was.

This pain was enough to make the mind of the person on the ground collapse because he was that weak willed.

While he was a cultivator that had his fair shares of battle, so he had his fair shares of injuries before, he was also a young master that had been pampered by his family, which made his mind weak.

This kind of mind shattering pain was something that he had never felt before and as soon as he felt this pain, his first thought was that he was dying since this was something excruciating that went beyond anything that he had felt before.

Seeing that no one was helping him, the person on the floor turned back to Wang Jian once again and said, "Please, spare me! I'll follow you, I'll do whatever you want, just spare me!"

Wang Jian coldly narrowed his eyes and said, "Take out the sword that's in your Storage Ring."

The moment the person on the ground heard this, there was a chill that ran down his back.

Once that chill ran down his back, it was like he forgot about the pain that was coming from his chest as he looked at Wang Jian and said, "I don't know what you mean."

Well, it wasn't just him forgetting about the pain that was coming from his chest, rather it was also Wang Jian's technique running out. The technique that Wang Jian used would only last for a certain period of time since it couldn't keep forcing those pain nerves to fire forever.

Wang Jian looked at him and then with a single flick of his hand, there was another cut that appeared on the chest of that person on the ground.

Once again, the same excruciating pain came from his chest and he fell down once again, unable to get up as he was racked with pain.

That person on the ground screamed out, "You b*stard, you're slashing me again for no reason!"

Wang Jian ignored what he said and once again repeated, "Take out the sword in your Storage Ring."
