Lin Yao's fist landed on Lilith's face, and with the momentum, Lilith flipped and fell downwards.
Lin Yao pursued, unwilling to let go of this opportunity.
Though she didn't know what had happened, she knew Su Fan must have clashed with someone. It was best to eliminate one of them first.
Lilith had just regained her senses and hadn't managed to stabilize herself when Lin Yao slammed into her abdomen.
Lilith immediately arched her body like a cooked shrimp, spitting out the bitter bile from her stomach.
Boom!
Lin Yao, with Lilith, crashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
A large crater was formed by the impact. As the smoke and dust settled, Lin Yao stood with her foot on Lilith, a chaotic energy gathering in her hand.
Lilith looked up at Lin Yao in terror.
She felt the threat of death.
"No! Don't!"
Lilith shouted desperately, activating her powers to resist.
Snowflakes drifted around, but before she could launch an attack on Lin Yao, Lin Yao's fist smashed down.
The snowflakes landed on the ground and melted into puddles as the temperature rose.
Lin Yao walked out of the crater, ignoring the shocked gazes of the onlookers, and flew off to find Chen Wenjing at the amusement park.
Meanwhile, Su Fan was chasing Bright. Bright's speed was no match for Su Fan.
Before long, Su Fan caught up.
Fire Dragon Annihilation!
A golden fire dragon rose behind Su Fan and lunged towards Bright ahead.
Bright's heart was filled with an ominous premonition. Without even looking back, he hastily used teleportation.
The fire dragon missed its target, and Su Fan seized this opening to catch up to Bright.
Vertical Style, Mountain Splitting Sea Severing!
Su Fan's sword strike descended, a massive sword energy imbued with golden flames and laced with strands of purple lightning.
"Spatial Barrier!"
Seeing no way to dodge, Bright erected a spatial barrier in front of him, attempting to block Su Fan's sword energy.
However, Bright overestimated himself. Su Fan's sword energy struck the spatial barrier, causing cracks to appear like fractured ice, and then it shattered completely with a whoosh.
The residual force struck Bright, and he fell like a rag doll.
Su Fan followed closely, thrusting his sword towards Bright's chest.
Just as Su Fan's sword was about to pierce Bright's chest, an ice shield suddenly appeared, blocking the fatal blow.
Su Fan frowned, flipped, and landed steadily on the ground. Bright, on the other hand, crashed heavily onto the ground, unconscious.
Su Fan's brow furrowed as he looked into the distance.
A beautiful figure was rushing over.
Alice!
Su Fan looked at Alice with a grave expression.
The oppressive feeling Alice had given him last time was still vivid in his memory.
"You want to protect him again?"
Su Fan asked, frowning.
Alice nodded silently.
"You say protect and you protect? Is your face that valuable?"
Su Fan said without reservation.
This time, Alice felt different. The last time he saw her, it was like facing an insurmountable mountain. Now, she no longer felt that way in his eyes, but merely a worthy opponent to be taken seriously.
"We can trade. I'll buy his life."
Alice had no intention of fighting Su Fan, but she was determined to save Bright.
"Alright, ten SSS potions."
Su Fan made an exorbitant demand. One potion cost over a hundred million, so ten would be a billion.
"Agreed."
To Su Fan's surprise, Alice agreed immediately without even haggling.
Under Su Fan's stunned gaze, Alice threw ten potions at him.
Su Fan accepted them with a stiff expression.
This...
He had always thought he was rich, but he never expected Alice to be even more ruthless, casually giving away a billion in resources without batting an eye.
After giving Su Fan the potions, Alice took Bright and left.
However, she frowned as she noticed the golden flames still burning on Bright's chest.
"Can you take your power back?"
Alice asked Su Fan.
Su Fan shrugged.
"No, I can't even control it myself. Sorry."
Su Fan had no intention of retracting it. Let Bright suffer a bit longer.
Alice didn't say much more and left with Bright.
Su Fan sighed.
He had intended to kill Bright to prevent future trouble, but Alice had intervened.
However, he wouldn't be so lucky next time. The main reason was that Su Fan's strength wasn't yet sufficient to face Alice with absolute certainty, so he could only extort her and let them go.
...
Alice brought Bright back to the Ability Alliance.
Upon seeing Bright's miserable state, some mocked him, while others were shocked.
Although they didn't respect Bright, everyone had witnessed his strength. An SSS- rank individual who could contend with an SSS-class opponent would undoubtedly have few rivals as he grew.
"Lord Ice Emperor, what is this?"
Lockell asked Alice with some confusion.
"Su Fan did it."
Alice replied calmly.
Everyone present gasped.
Was Su Fan that strong?
"I told you Bright's plan was flawed. Now you see, didn't he cause our alliance to lose so many experts!"
Lockell wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to slander Bright, especially with Alice present, to show her Bright's true capabilities.
"From now on, the alliance will follow Lockell's arrangements."
Alice said softly.
She then took Bright into the medical bay.
Lockell's heart leaped with joy.
The feeling of having power was exhilarating!
Alice looked at the wound on Bright's chest, which was now charred by the golden flames, a gruesome sight.
Alice frowned and opened the medical pod.
The nanomachines in the medical pod rapidly repaired Bright's body, but they couldn't extinguish the flames on his chest.
Alice's frown deepened. If the golden flames couldn't be extinguished, Bright's injuries couldn't be healed.
Alice opened the medical pod, looked at the golden flames on Bright's chest, and released a gust of cold air onto his chest.
But it was useless. The flames merely flickered in the air, and her cold air only caused Bright further frostbite.
Even in his unconscious state, Bright whimpered.
Alice was helpless. Whether it was water or earth, nothing could extinguish this wisp of golden flame.
Alice was getting a headache.
"This kind of flame should be a special energy, like my Extreme Ice. Ordinary means cannot easily extinguish it."
Once Alice realized this, only one option remained.
To extinguish the flames with her Extreme Ice.
However, this carried another danger: could Bright withstand it?
But if a single golden flame had rendered him unconscious, combined with her Extreme Ice, Bright might not be able to endure it and would die.
