191 Chapter 191
Yue Jin continued firing off arrows at the Gale Rabbit who was slowly getting annoyed by the onslaught of arrows.
The Gale Rabbit knew that this couldn\'t be allowed to continue, so it called out to its followers and sent some of the Gold Realm beasts to attack Yue Jin while it held off the arrows.
The other young geniuses saw this and immediately moved to help Yue Yin intercept them.
They knew that the moment the Gale Rabbit was freed, they would immediately be put in a disadvantage when it came to Platinum Realm Experts. They had to hold off the Gale Rabbit for as long as possible, allowing one of their Platinum Realm Experts to take care of one of the Platinum Realm beasts to free them up to fight the Gale Rabbit.
Most of them had already taken care of the Gold Realm beasts they were already fighting since they were indeed geniuses. They also had powerful artifacts that they received from their families since they were the hopes of their families, so their families naturally wouldn\'t be stingy with the things they gave them.
As the fight continued, they were able to hold on even if they slowly did get tired, but soon things didn\'t look that good.
Xiao Huo, Xiao Lei, and Angela all had no problems fighting their enemies, but Lin Fan was different.
Most of the Gold Realm beasts had been sent to help the Charge Bear and this seemed like it had put some pressure on Lin Fan. Even though he had easily pushed back the Charge Bear at first, with the other Gold Realm beasts providing support for the Charge Bear, soon he was the one that was being pushed back.
Naturally this was all an act that Lin Fan was putting on to see if he could make any of his suspects make a mistake, but none of them were falling for it.
Every single one of the geniuses were fighting for their lives, it didn\'t seem like any of them were being shown the slightest bit of mercy. If they even made a single mistake, a claw, a fang, or another part of a beast would have cut right through them.
Lin Fan knew that continuing like this wasn\'t a solution, so he had to do something to change this situation.
As the Charge Bear came at him once again, Lin Fan this time let himself be pushed back, making it seem like he was running out of energy.
The Charge Bear pushed Lin Fan back again and again, building more and more confidence in itself. It began attacking Lin Fan vigorously as it saw that Lin Fan was getting weaker.
Of course that was all part of Lin Fan\'s act.
On the other side, Xiao Huo\'s flames were no longer cancelling out the flames of the Drake Lizard. Rather there were wisps of the Drake Lizard\'s flames that had pushed through Xiao Huo\'s flame to push Xiao Huo back.
As for Angela, when she saw Lin Fan and Xiao Huo being pushed back, she also began weakening the assault of her wind blades, as well as slowing down a bit. As she slowed down, there were a few wind blades that did come close to hitting her, even nicking a strand of her hair, but they never drew any blood.
Finally there was Xiao Lei, who was the same as Xiao Huo. Before the bolts of lightning it sent out matched cancelled that of its opponent, but now there strands of electricity that had made it through.
When the various Platinum Realm beasts saw that they were slowly pushing back their opponents, they all gathered their energy and began sending out full force attacks at them. They could finally see the chance to break through, so it would be a shame if they were to miss it.
Yue Jin on the side had been paying attention to the battlefield and of course he had noticed this shift. When he did, he began changing his target in between stronger shots, sending out arrows to try and help the human Platinum Realm Experts.
But that created a fatal error in spacing since it gave the Gale Rabbit time to slowly inch its way forward.
Before Yue Jin\'s continuous arrows had been enough to hold it back, but now that he diverted some of those arrows and his life energy was slowly being depleted, the Gale Rabbit finally had the space to slowly push forward.
It was also an intelligent beast since it was able to lead a group of beasts, so it sent more of the Gold Realm beasts that had been following it to attack the main group. Specifically, they headed towards Lin Fan who seemed like he would be collapsing at any moment.
The Charge Bear could naturally see this as well and it sent out its claws in a flurry of attack that continued to push Lin Fan back.
After pushing Lin Fan back far enough, the Charge Bear finally had enough and decided to end this.
With its flurries of attack pinning Lin Fan down, it also called out to its subordinates who made reckless suicide attacks on Lin Fan.
When these Gold Realm beasts had attacked Lin Fan before, he had been able to fend off the Charge Bear while either seriously injuring or killing the Gold Realm beasts that had attacked him. While he was still able to fend them off now, he was no longer able to seriously injure or kill them anymore. It was clear that he was already coming close to running out of life energy.
The Gold Realm beasts continued their reckless assault, even more so without fear now that Lin Fan didn\'t have the ability to seriously injure them.
But even if he could, they still would have charged at Lin Fan without any regards to their own lives since that was their instinct.
Unlike the Platinum Realm beasts who clearly had intelligence, these beasts were all beasts that only followed their instincts. The biggest part of that was the instincts present in their bloodlines.
In the world of Beast Clan, bloodlines were the most important things.
A beast with a higher tier bloodline instinctively created fear in those with inferior bloodlines, but it also incited them to follow those with higher tier bloodlines.
Over the generations, this instinct became stronger and stronger, even overwriting their instinct to survive. Now this instinct to follow the will of those with stronger bloodlines was so great that these beasts no longer feared death if it was following the wills of those with stronger bloodlines.
Of course, that was all in hope of becoming even stronger since only by taking the bloodlines of others could they hope to evolve. By following the ones with stronger bloodlines, there were more chances to receive a bloodline that the leader took, strengthening their own bloodline.
In the end, it was a dog eat dog world where they could only get stronger by stealing the bloodlines of other beasts to improve their own.
Eventually the Gold Realm beasts finally wore Lin Fan down and one of them actually broke through his guard.
The claws of that Gold Realm beast were aimed right at Lin Fan\'s back, at the part of his back that was right behind his heart. It continued to approach while Lin Fan was being distracted by the Charge Bear right in front of him.
As long as this claw were to land on Lin Fan\'s back, there was no doubt that it would cause a fatal wound to Lin Fan, but it didn\'t seem that Lin Fan would be able to react in time.
But that was all a part of Lin Fan\'s plan.
He saw that this was going nowhere, so he was going to take it to the extreme, letting himself be injured just to see how the others would react.
But of course, if he didn\'t allow himself to be injured, the Gold Realm beast would never be able to injure him. After all, Lin Fan\'s physique alone was already strong enough to match the power of a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert.
As the people of the Blue Star Planet said, the Legendary Realm was the true beginning. Everything under that was just like ants at the feet of the Legendary Realm Experts.
Lin Fan could have just let the Gold Realm beast hit him and it would have been injured just by hitting him. But he couldn\'t let that happen, so he was prepared to use his life energy to create a burst inside his body to make it seem like he was injured.
When Lin Fan gathered his life energy at his back and was prepared to be "injured", something had happened that had completely caught him off guard.
Right before the claws of the Gold Realm panther could hit him, there was a figure that had suddenly jumped out and blocked that blow for him.
That person raised their claymore to block the claw of the Gold Realm panther, but that Gold Realm panther was a beast in the peak Gold Realm, so it surpassed the cultivation of that person.
That person fell back at the attack and spat out a large mouthful of blood, but he somehow had managed to block that attack. But he did receive serious internal injuries from forcefully taking the attack.
Lin Fan immediately increased his power and pushed back all the beasts. Then he turned around to be surprised by the person who had protected him.
Standing behind him, holding his claymore was Yan Huo.
