Accidentally invincible!-Chapter 87 - 00: Yes, this has nothing to do with me

"Kill them!"

"Kill all these Immortal Sect disciples!"

"Our tens of thousands of brothers are on their way here, so there’s nothing to fear!"

The Earth Demons fought with ferocity.

At first, they were being suppressed by the Immortal Sect disciples, but everything had changed now. Upon hearing the claim that tens of thousands of Earth Demons were arriving as reinforcements, the Immortal Sect disciples were scared out of their wits, losing even the courage to fight.

The Immortal Sect disciples fled with astonishing speed.

To them, without their senior brother present, it felt like they had lost their backbone. Especially after realizing their senior brother had fallen for a scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain, leaving them to face endless Earth Demons. At that point, there was no thought of continuing the fight at all.

The only fortunate thing was that the supposed tens of thousands of Earth Demons had yet to appear. As for the Earth Demons currently pursuing them, they weren’t capable of causing any significant harm.

Lin Fan quickly ran ahead and found a hiding spot to observe the situation unfold.

The current developments pleased him greatly.

The Immortal Sect disciples weren’t fools; it didn’t matter if the claim was true or false. Their first instinct was to flee.

On the other hand, the Earth Demons had fully embraced the tactic of bluffing about their massive reinforcements, leveraging it to their fullest advantage without any pretense.

True or false—who could say for sure?

Suddenly.

Lin Fan noticed that some Earth Demons were getting too cocky. One Earth Demon, in particular, seemed oblivious to its own limits and genuinely believed it could kill those Immortal Sect disciples. Like a lunatic, it charged madly forward.

It was instantly killed with a single strike.

"Damn it, what a pig-headed fool!" Lin Fan muttered with frustration, filled with the bitter sensation of wasted potential.

Before long.

The Immortal Sect disciples reached the exit and scrambled out one by one. Whatever lay beyond that exit was now beyond their control or concern.

On the surface.

A collective sigh of relief could be heard from the Immortal Sect disciples—they felt as if they had narrowly escaped death.

One of the disciples patted his chest and said, "That was so close! Do you have any idea what ’tens of thousands of Earth Demons’ means? With just one charge, they could’ve reduced us all to mincemeat."

"But we were right on the edge of the Earth Demon Plains. How could there possibly be that many Earth Demons?"

At this moment, the group of Immortal Sect disciples were chattering incessantly. They were here to train on the Earth Demon Plains, as some of the stronger Earth Demons had valuable materials on them. These could be exchanged within the sect for useful resources.

They had grouped together for this expedition, but unexpectedly, they encountered a powerful Earth Demon that nearly wiped them out. Luckily, their senior brother arrived in time to save them. He then went off to pursue the fierce Earth Demon.

Before leaving, their senior brother had used Divine Skills to set up a Qiankun Taiji Formation. This formation ensured that as long as they stayed within it, they would remain energized and have an endless supply of mana, while the Earth Demons would be suppressed, only able to use seventy to eighty percent of their strength.

Suddenly.

A rather discordant voice interrupted.

"Does anyone know which disciple was shouting about ’tens of thousands of Earth Demons approaching’ just now?"

The disciples, who had been engrossed in their conversation, froze and stared blankly at one another.

"That person wasn’t someone you recognized?"

"What do you mean? I thought you knew him."

"Who was he?"

"No idea. I thought he was someone you knew. When you all started running, I just followed."

Soon after.

Someone blurted out, "Were we tricked? Could it be there weren’t any tens of thousands of Earth Demons, and this was all a scheme to fool us?"

Immediately, they felt it might actually be true.

"Let’s go back in and capture that guy! How dare he trick us? We’ll beat him to a pulp!"

"Wait! During the chaos, we scattered and ended up running out of who knows which exit. If we go back in and encounter a really powerful Earth Demon, what are we going to do then?"

Upon hearing this, the group deflated again. It made sense—without the protection of the Qiankun Taiji Formation, who would save them if danger struck?

Meanwhile, the Earth Demons were also waiting for their supposed reinforcements of tens of thousands. But they waited and waited, and still, not even a trace of them could be seen.

"Who the hell mentioned tens of thousands of Earth Demons, anyway?"

"Where are they even supposed to be?"

At this moment, Lin Fan was hiding within a dark crevice, his eyes glowing with a sharp, green light as he fixated on the bewildered Earth Demons. To him, this was what "grinding mobs to level up" was supposed to feel like.

Not the hell-level difficulty grind earlier.

There were about twenty Earth Demons in front of him, four of whom had impressive strength.

All four were at the Longevity First Level Foundation Establishment Realm.

One Earth Demon had nearly a hundred units of mana, appearing to have particularly robust reserves. Among the group of demons, it seemed like a crane standing among chickens, exerting an air of dominance.

It was as if it constantly reminded the other Earth Demons, "I’m your boss. You small fries better behave."

"Where are our tens of thousands of brothers?" an Earth Demon asked.

"No idea. Maybe they got lost chasing the targets."

"Hmph, I was really looking forward to charging with our tens of thousands of brothers to slaughter all those Immortal Sect disciples. Guess it’s their lucky day for now. How dare they stir trouble in our territory!"

The Earth Demons thought simply. They never questioned the existence of the tens of thousands of brothers, simply assuming they had gotten lost along the way.

Soon after.

The Earth Demons began heading toward the distance, while Lin Fan trailed behind cautiously, awaiting an opportunity to strike and eliminate them.

A group of Earth Demons walked away nonchalantly, like nothing had even happened. They put their arms around one another’s shoulders and marched on.

Lin Fan followed them stealthily, waiting patiently for the perfect chance. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Ideally, he’d catch them alone and stab them one by one. That would be perfect.

Hours passed.

In the skies, a streak of golden light approached rapidly from the distance. Within the golden glow was a young man, handsome and exuding extraordinary presence. At this moment, he was fuming with frustration.

"That damned powerful Earth Demon runs so fast! Using that Magical Treasure, it managed to escape despite all my efforts. I’ve been chasing it for ages, but it still got away!"

He quickly moved on, dismissing the matter. "Whatever. It got away. Not a big deal. I’ll seek it out again when I have the chance to revisit the Earth Demon Plains."

Soon after.

He arrived at the place where his junior brothers and sisters were supposed to be. But to his shock, the only thing left was the Tai Chi Diagram glowing in the sky.

"Where is everyone..."

His eyes widened in disbelief. The place was utterly deserted—there wasn’t even a ghostly shadow in sight. Upon noticing the scattered weapons strewn across the ground, his expression changed dramatically. It seemed his junior brothers and sisters had met with disaster.

"Impossible..."

He couldn’t fathom it. The Qiankun Taiji Formation he created was designed to suppress Earth Demons and ensure his junior brothers and sisters remained energized, with a constant flow of mana replenishing their strength.

As he examined the chaotic footprints on the ground, a scene began forming in his mind. His junior brothers and sisters must have been panicked, scattering in all directions as they fled.

This suggested that the number of Earth Demons had surged dramatically, overwhelming the formation and leaving them powerless to defend themselves.

He considered reporting this to the sect.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

No way.

If he reported it, he couldn’t avoid being implicated. The sect elders would definitely grill him, asking, "What were you doing at the time?" What could he say? That he abandoned his duty to chase after an Earth Demon’s Magical Treasure, leaving his junior brothers and sisters unprotected?

If it came to that.

He’d definitely face punishment.

The mere thought of the disciplinary consequences left him cold from head to toe. He immediately buried the idea of reporting back.

Yes.

He’d pretend he didn’t know anything.

He’d act as if he was never here.

He’d claim he never saw any Earth Demons or his junior brothers and sisters. It had nothing to do with him.

After coming to this decision, he swiftly fled toward the horizon.
