With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 199 Counter Ambush

Everyone was shocked to see the sudden appearance of this sword as it had just appeared out of thin air.

However, this sword was anything but weak as they could sense the powerful aura that came from it as it slashed down.

The beast wasn't able to raise its guard at all since by the time it reacted to the sword, the sword was already cutting into its skin. It tried to resist by creating a spiritual energy barrier around its skin, but it didn't have the time to gather the spiritual energy as the sword had already cut right through the skin.

There was no impediment to this sword at all as it cut right through the skin, muscles, and bones of the beast, severing its head from its body.

When everyone finally reacted to what had happened, the beast was already lying on the ground dead with its head severed from its body.

As for the sword that had appeared out of nowhere, there was now an owner holding that sword.

This was a person that also appeared out of nowhere, but based on the aura that he released, he wasn't a normal person. At the very least, both Master Feng and Team Leader Shen could tell that this person was stronger than them since he had killed the beast in one strike.

Team Leader Shen even doubted that this person was in the Foundation Realm with the way that he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

But in truth, all Lin Fan had done was use his illusion magic to hide himself until he found the right opportunity to strike.

He hadn't been certain that it would work when he had tried it, but he knew that he could afford to take this risk since he was the strongest person here. He had used his Appraisal Eyes to make sure of this.

So he had cast his illusion magic and had snuck his way in between to the two sides.

To his surprise, his gamble had actually paid off as not a single person had been able to see through his illusion magic and he was able to sneak right in between them.

Once he was there, the only thing that he had to do was wait for the right moment to strike.

He had become the oriole hiding behind as the mantis stalked the cicada.

After cutting down the beast, Lin Fan couldn't help looking at the sword in his hand in surprise.

This sword was naturally Gramr, the sword that he had inherited from the skeleton in Aphrodite's dungeon.

When he had cut through the neck of the beast just now, he had only used a bit of his spiritual energy since he had only expected to injure the beast with this sneak attack. He was confident in taking the beast on after injuring it, so he didn't use that much of his spiritual energy in this attack.

He hadn't expected his sword to cut right through the neck of the beast.

Most of this credit went to how sharp Gramr was…

He couldn't help thinking of the stats for Gramr that he had seen before.

The sword that he gave Tian Tian only had an attack power of 10 and it was so valued by her. The Gramr in his hand had an attack power of 100…Just how strong was this sword in his hand?

Not to mention that there were four more seals to it…

How strong would Gramr be when it was fully unsealed?!

Not to mention just now…he had felt that Gramr hadn't used all of its strength just now. It wasn't because he didn't use his full strength when he swung down, rather he could tell that it was because he wasn't strong enough to draw out the full power of Gramr.

After a long period of silence, Master Feng finally looked at Lin Fan and asked in a cautious voice, "Who are you and where did you come from?"

Lin Fan looked right back at him, but he didn't bother answering his question because he knew that there was something else that he had to do. He had to eliminate everyone that was here.

That was right, everyone including Team Leader Shen and his group.

He couldn't leave a single trace of his involvement here, which was why he hadn't hid his face at all.

He had been watching what had happened between the two sides, but he wasn't sure what the situation was. So even if it looked like they had a falling out, it wasn't as if he knew that the Mercenary Guild had planned on killing Team Leader Shen and his group.

So after a moment of silence, Lin Fan suddenly jumped out and charged at Master Feng.

He could tell that Team Leader Shen and his group were completely tired out from the fight, so the one that posed the most threat to him was Master Feng who hadn't done a single thing the entire time. He knew that it would be best for him to take out this person first.

However, Master Feng wasn't scared at all that Lin Fan was charging at him. Instead he said with a calm look, "Shen Yun, this is your last trump card?"

After saying this, he suddenly gave a snap and then there was a pressure that filled the cave.

Lin Fan immediately stopped when he felt this pressure falling onto him.

This was a pressure that he was familiar with since he had felt this kind of pressure before. However, this pressure was at least weaker than the one that he had felt before.

But that wasn't good news at all since this pressure was still the pressure that came from a Foundation Realm Cultivator.

With the snap, there was a figure that suddenly appeared behind Master Feng. This figure that suddenly appeared was the one that was releasing the pressure that was currently suppressing them right now.

After this figure appeared, Master Feng said with a taunting smile, "This is how you use a trump card. You're supposed to hide it until the very last moment."

Team Leader Shen and the other members of his team were completely shocked by this just like how they had been shocked by Lin Fan's appearance.

The only thing that they thought was that this was all an elaborate trap set up for them by the Mercenary Guild, but they couldn't understand why they were important enough that the Mercenary Guild would set up this kind of trap for them,

What they didn't know was that this was all a series of coincidences.

Well, to put it more precisely, this was all Lin Fan's fault.

After all, if Lin Fan hadn't appeared, Team Leader Shen's team would have been taken care of by the beast alone. If Lin Fan didn't appear, Master Feng wouldn't have been forced to bring out this Foundation Realm guard that had been sent by his family.

This Foundation Realm guard wasn't actually from the Mercenary Guild, but rather it was a guard that was supposed to protect Master Feng's life just in case he was ever in danger.

So that meant that nothing that happened after Lin Fan slayed the beast was part of the Mercenary Guild's plan.

Lin Fan knew that he wouldn't be able to face this Foundation Realm Cultivator even if he had reached the Peak Ninth Qi Gathering Realm. After all, even if he was only a step away from reaching the Foundation Realm, there was still a heaven and earth gap between the two of them.

If the Foundation Realm Cultivator wanted, he could kill him with just a single finger still.

So without any hesitation, Lin Fan once again casted the illusion spell and immediately started to run away.

It was a shame that he wasn't able to hide himself from the Foundation Realm Cultivator. The illusion spell allowed him to disappear from the sights of everyone else except for this Foundation Realm guard.

Lin Fan naturally could see this too with how the Foundation Realm guard was staring right at him. It didn't take a genius to understand that he had been exposed, so without any hesitation, he summoned an ice wall between him and the Foundation Realm guard.

Master Feng was shocked to see this and immediately shouted, "What's going on here?"

But the Foundation Realm guard ignored all of this.

All he did was pull out a sword before suddenly flicking it out.

The sword flew right out at the ice mirror and without any anticipation, it shattered the ice mirror to pieces.

This ice mirror was naturally the Ice Mirror Skill that Lin Fan had gotten from the Shiro, but this Ice Mirror did have a limit. With the large difference in power between Lin Fan and the Foundation Realm guard, it was no contest.

The sword didn't stop at all after shattering through the ice mirror. It continued flying through the air until it pierced Lin Fan right through the shoulder, sending him flying until he was pinned on the wall.

With the large force of the flying sword, all of his magic power was scattered and Lin Fan was revealed to everyone.

Seeing him appear, Master Feng revealed the smile of a victor as he looked at him and said, "Trying to escape? What a joke. Did you really think that you could escape from my guard?"

Lin Fan spat out a mouthful of blood from the internal injuries that he suffered before falling to the ground as the Foundation Realm guard summoned back his sword.

Master Feng narrowed his eyes to look at him again as he asked, "Who are you and what is your connection with Shen Yun? If you tell me everything that you know, there's a chance that I will let you go."

Lin Fan looked up and asked, "Who is Shen Yun?"

Master Feng knitted his brows when he heard this before he said, "If you keep acting tough like this, I can't guarantee what will happen to you."

Lin Fan said with a serious look, "I really don't know who Shen Yun is."

Master Feng gave a snort before turning to Team Leader Shen to say, "Shen Yun, your subordinate here really is loyal. Even in this situation, he refuses to give you up."

Team Leader Shen however had a confused look on his face since he didn't know what this situation was either. After all, he didn't have a single idea of who Lin Fan was.

But Master Feng just thought that they were playing dumb together.

When Master Feng turned away, Lin Fan slowly raised his hand which was hidden from view and gathered some energy before flicking his hand out to shoot out an icicle.

However, before that icicle could even go anywhere, there was a flying sword that suddenly flew out and shattered this icicle before stabbing him in the other shoulder, paralyzing his remaining arm.

Master Feng was shocked to see this, but he could understand what had happened. His eyes turned cold as he said, "It seems like you really want to die." Then after a pause, he said, "Then I'll fulfil your wish."

With a nod to the Foundation Realm guard, the Foundation Realm guard suddenly leaped into the air before throwing his sword down at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn't do a thing as he felt the pressure of this attack pushing him into the ground. He could only watch as the sword was stabbed right into his chest and the force exploded through his body, shattering all of the bones in his chest.

It was so strong that the floor underneath him cracked apart and a large hole formed under him.

It seemed like there was another cave that had been under him the entire time and the force of the attack had shattered the ground under him, throwing him into that cave.

As Lin Fan fell, streaks of blood rained down with him before the glow in his eyes dimmed.

Once Lin Fan was gone, Master Feng turned without even looking at Team Leader Shen and said, "Finish the rest of them off as well."

With a single flick of the hand from the Foundation Realm guard, Team Leader Shen and his team had been beheaded.

With this finished, Master Feng and his Foundation Realm guard disappeared with the body of the beast.
