Lin Fan gave a chuckle when he heard this and said, "You don't even remember someone you tried to kill before?"

Shi Yan knitted his brows even more when he heard this, but after a few seconds, everything clicked inside of his head.

His expression changed into a look of shock as he said, "You? It's you?"

Lin Fan just gave a nod in response without saying anything.

Shi Yan then shouted, "How can you be him? You're nothing more than some brat in the Peak Fragmented Soul Realm, you're not him at all!"

Lin Fan gave a snort and released his full aura.

Shi Yan knitted his brows, but he still said in a voice filled with disbelief, "Even if you are in the Embryo Soul Realm, how can you put up a barrier strong enough to trap me? What kind of tricks are you playing?"

Lin Fan shook his head before giving a snap.

When he gave that snap, there was a hole that appeared in the barrier, just big enough for one person to pass through.

After that hole appeared, he said, "Why don't you come out and face me then?"

Shi Yan didn't move at all when he heard this, but when the other members of his group saw this hole in the barrier, they saw their chance. While they were loyal to Shi Yan, that was only on the basis that their lives weren't in danger.

When their lives were in danger, naturally the only person that mattered was themselves.

They knew that they had no chance of breaking this barrier and now that there was a way out, they would be crazy not to take it. But there were some of them that hesitated because they thought that it was a trap.

After all, he already had them trapped inside the barrier, so why would he open a hole like this?

Still, there were people that were impatient and in the end, there was a black figure that jumped out from Shi Yan's group. Going as fast as he could, he rushed for the hole in the barrier in an attempt to escape.

However, Lin Fan, or rather Brainy around his arm had already expected this.

The moment that this black figure flew out, there was a ball of light that appeared above the hole in the barrier. It grew brighter and brighter as the black figure approached and when the black figure was only a few steps away, it suddenly flew out at the black figure.

The black figure was surprised by this and wanted to dodge, but he found that it was too fast for him to dodge.

Seeing that he had no other choice, he pulled out his weapon and slashed out at the ball of light with all his power.

As the ball of light flew out, it suddenly changed forms. It shrank from the form of that ball of light and started to become thinner until it became a blade of pure light, however that didn't mean that it became weaker.

As it became smaller and smaller, the black figure felt a stronger and stronger sense of danger coming from this blade of light.

However, it was already too late for the black figure to do anything else. Even if he wanted to do anything else, with the speed that the blade of light was coming at him, he wouldn't have been able to make it in time.

So the black figure roared out and released even more life energy as he slashed down at the blade of light.

The moment that his sword and the blade of light came into contact, the blade of light suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The black figure didn't feel any resistance at all when he cut right through the blade of light and he was filled with joy. He had felt a strong sense of danger from it, so he thought that it would be very hard for him to resist this attack, but there was no resistance at all in the end.

Then when he was about to charge forward to dash out of the hole in the barrier, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Before he could do anything, he looked down to see his sword split in half where the blade of light had made contact with his sword. Then there was a sudden spurt of blood from his body as a line appeared on his chest, parallel to the line that was created in the sword.

He didn't even get a chance to say anything as his top half was separated from the bottom half per the line.

The last look on his face was a look of pure shock as his face fell onto the ground.

Everyone from Shi Yan's group had their mouths wide open, which was visible even though they had masks on.

None of them could believe what had just happened.

As soon as the black figure's sword had made contact with the blade of light, they had felt the sensation from the blade of light disappearing. They had all thought that the black figure had destroyed the blade of light, but they couldn't understand why the black figure had suddenly died.

Of course, no one dared to go forward at this time since they knew that they wouldn't be able to do anything to this blade of light if this black figure couldn't do anything. The one that had gone forward was one of the strongest among them, being at the Peak Embryo Soul Realm.

What they didn't know was that the one that came out didn't feel any resistance because he couldn't offer any resistance.

To feel resistance, one has to be able to resist the attack. When one couldn't resist at all, then naturally they wouldn't feel any resistance as the attack would cut right through you, like what had just happened with the black figure.

Of course, the reason why this attack had become much stronger was all because of Brainy's breakthrough.

Because Brainy broke through, her spiritual sense had reached a whole new level, which allowed her to have better control of the array Lin Fan's five pets made. This allowed her to refine the attack to the point where it was so concentrated that it could even hurt those in the Child Soul Realm.

So naturally the black figure who was only in the Embryo Soul Realm couldn't take a single hit from this blade of light.

After a moment of silence, Shi Yan finally stepped forward.

He knew that there was no point in hesitating because if he didn't do anything, he would be trapped inside this barrier. If he were to leave, at the very least he wouldn't be trapped anymore and would have a chance to find a way out.

Of course, he wasn't feeling desperate yet since he still had a trump card up his sleeve. However, that trump card was something that he wouldn't want to use unless he was forced to use it.

Shi Yan calmly walked through the hole in the barrier before it closed behind him.

Seeing this, one of the black figures couldn't help saying, "What about us? Are you going to let us go?"

Lin Fan just ignored that person as he said to Brainy, "You can take care of the rest now."

Brainy slithered out of Lin Fan's sleeve and landed on the ground. She gave Lin Fan a nod before jumping back to the Xu Family group.

Lin Fan and Shi Yan just stood there in the center of the street, staring at each other, even though neither could see the other person's eyes.

Shi Yan was the first to break under this pressure as he asked, "Do we really have to do this? As long as you're willing, I can put in a good word with young master Lei and you can work with us."

Of course, this was a plain faced lie.

He knew just how much Lei Feng hated Lin Fan, so there was no way that Lei Feng would ever accept working with him.

However, at this point, it didn't matter what he said as long as he was able to escape.

Lin Fan just revealed a smile as he asked, "Then what should I do?"

Shi Yan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this as he quickly replied, "As long as you tell me about the ruins from before and swear to serve young master Lei, I can promise that you'll never have to worry about anything in the future. Naturally that means that you'll also receive a spot in the Ancient Era Ruins exploration."

Shi Yan didn't forget to add a bit of sugar on top. After all, everyone in the upper realm was driven by benefits and without enough benefits, he wouldn't be able to convince Lin Fan to switch sides.

He firmly believed that the temptation of the Ancient Era Ruins was strong enough to move Lin Fan, which was why he had said all this in a confident voice.

Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this before saying, "That's not what I meant."

Shi Yan knitted his brows before asking, "Is that not enough?" Then after a quick pause, he said, "I can talk to young master Lei about getting you some more…"

Before he could finish, Lin Fan cut him off by saying, "I meant how should I take care of you."

Shi Yan's eyes immediately narrowed the moment he heard this, but when he reacted, there was already a white dagger that was in front of his eyes.
