CHAPTER 643: CHAPTER 642: THAT IS THE LIFE FRUIT!

"Hehe..."

Feng Bing looked at Lin Fan with a faint smile and said, "That’s right, it’s me. I just have some regrets that I couldn’t kill you myself. What a pity!"

Lin Fan asked, "Do you really want to kill me that much?"

Feng Bing nodded and said, "Do you deserve to die?"

"Oh?"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised and asked, "I’m really curious, how do I deserve to die?"

Feng Bing shook his head and said, "No reason needed. I want to kill you, so you deserve to die..."

"Alright!"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, you also deserve to die!"

As he spoke, Lin Fan flicked his finger lightly, and a Finger Light appeared, piercing through Feng Bing’s head.

Feng Bing was dead!

The expressions on the faces of the two assassins beside him turned ugly.

Although they indeed took lives like reaping weeds and had killed countless people, now, facing their own deaths, they felt fear, despair, and panic.

Lin Fan looked at one of them and said indifferently, "Speak, who is the mastermind behind the attempt on my life?"

Actually, Lin Fan was also very curious about who wanted him dead.

Before, it was the Dongfang Family that wanted to kill him, but now that the Dongfang Family had been wiped out, why were there still people from the Hell Organization trying to kill him?

The assassin shook his head and said, "I will not tell you!"

"Oh?"

Lin Fan was somewhat surprised and said, "You’re not afraid of death?"

The assassin said, "Afraid, but... as assassins, we have our own code. You’ll never get any information out of me!"

"Very well!"

Lin Fan said, "Since you’ve lost your value to me, you don’t need to live any longer!"

With a wave of Lin Fan’s hand, a ball of energy hit the assassin, and he immediately died.

Lin Fan turned to the last assassin and said, "Your turn!"

This time, the last assassin didn’t speak but just smiled faintly. As he smiled, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Lin Fan was momentarily startled.

At the same time, a bad feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

As expected, in the next moment, the assassin collapsed to the ground. He too was dead.

As it turned out, that assassin had already taken poison and committed suicide.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and said firmly, "The person behind the scenes who wants me dead, you’d better not let me find you. Otherwise, I’ll make you understand what regret means!"

After a while, Lin Fan regained his composure.

"Forget it, let’s go find the Life Fruit first!"

The ultimate reason Lin Fan came to the Life Divine Mountain was to find the Life Fruit to evolve his Sky-reaching Tender Bud.

Shortly after, Lin Fan continued moving forward.

Of course, as Lin Fan marched on, his body was slowly absorbing the force of life, but unfortunately, despite the rapid absorption, the improvement to Lin Fan was significant but not enormous.

"Life Fruit detected ahead!"

Suddenly, the Universal Image alerted Lin Fan.

Just now, Lin Fan had activated the treasure-hunting function of the Universal Image.

Thus, when the Universal Image found the Life Fruit, it immediately informed Lin Fan.

"Finally found the Life Fruit?" Lin Fan’s entire being surged with immense joy.

Very soon, Lin Fan pushed his speed to the limit and dashed forward.

Before long, he saw a small pond in front of him, with water so vibrantly green it seemed to pulse with a rich life force.

Meanwhile, in this pond grew a small tree about two feet tall which, strangely, bore no leaves.

Atop the small tree was a bright red fruit.

The Life Fruit?

That was the Life Fruit!

In his previous life, Lin Fan might not have seen the Life Fruit, but he had seen it in ancient texts, so he recognized it instantly.

"And it’s a ripe Life Fruit? Perfect!"

Lin Fan was ecstatic.

It’s often said that timing is everything, and Lin Fan’s timing couldn’t have been better; the Life Fruit was ripe for harvest.

Lin Fan left behind an afterimage where he stood as he rushed towards it, ready to pick the Life Fruit.

But...

Just as Lin Fan was about to pluck the Life Fruit, his vision suddenly blurred...

The next moment, a shadow flashed by him, and the Life Fruit was gone.

"Damn it!"

Lin Fan cursed inwardly.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan rapidly retreated, knowing someone had already taken the Life Fruit, and he must withdraw immediately. As he retreated, Lin Fan readied his defenses, prepared to respond at once if attacked.

After Lin Fan retreated to the ground, he noticed an ascetic standing not far away.

This ascetic was holding the Life Fruit, sniffing it near his nose, seemingly savoring it...

At this moment, the ascetic’s attention was completely on the Life Fruit; he seemed unaware of Lin Fan’s presence, as if he had completely ignored Lin Fan.

"The Life Fruit was discovered by me first!"

Lin Fan couldn’t help but express his annoyance.

The ascetic finally looked at Lin Fan, seemingly noticing him for the first time, and said in surprise, "Who would have thought someone else was here?"

"Uh!"

Lin Fan was speechless.

So the other party really hadn’t noticed him?

"By the way, what did you say just now?" the ascetic asked again.

Lin Fan replied, "I said the Life Fruit was discovered by me first!"

"Oh!"

The ascetic nodded and asked, "So you’re saying the Life Fruit is yours?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Exactly!"

The ascetic further inquired, "Are you sure it really belongs to you?"

Lin Fan reaffirmed, "Yes, it should have been mine!"

The ascetic then said, "Well then, call out to it and see if it responds to you. If it does, it’s yours, otherwise..."

After hearing the ascetic’s words, Lin Fan was utterly dumbfounded. Wasn’t this completely unreasonable?

"Alright then, I take my leave!"

After saying that, the ascetic shook his body and then vanished.

The ascetic left just like that!

Lin Fan stood there, feeling incredibly frustrated.

He had almost secured the Life Fruit, but who would have thought that someone would abruptly appear and take it away?

It was incredibly depressing!

The key point being, Lin Fan wasn’t even a match for him, so the ascetic took the Life Fruit right from Lin Fan’s hands, leaving him completely powerless.
