Weren't these Flying Centipedes supposed to be held off by Chen Fan? Why are they charging at him now? Could it be that something happened to Chen Fan?

Elder Wang dared not think further, fearing that his worst fears had come true.

Moreover, now was not the time for distractions.

With these Flying Centipedes attacking all at once, forming a siege, even if he was a Mid-stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist, he would be gravely injured if not killed.

"Could it be that today I'll die here?"

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

At the same time,

the Flying Centipede chasing him from behind let out an excited roar.

Well done!

With the front and back pincers attack, let's see how that human can escape!

But just then, something happened that neither the human nor the demon beast anticipated.

Those Flying Centipedes ignored Elder Wang, who was at the front, and instead charged at the Flying Centipede behind him, wrestling with it.

"???"

Elder Wang was stunned.

He couldn't help but stop and look back.

He saw the Flying Centipede that had been chasing him being mobbed by the ones that had come later.

Angry roars intermittently came from its mouth.

Clearly, it couldn't understand why its companions would attack it instead of aiming for the human in front.

Not only it, but Elder Wang also found it perplexing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that these creatures are all under Chen Fan's control? Is Chen Fan alright?"

His face couldn't help but brighten up with joy.

"Elder Wang."

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

A figure appeared in front of him, smiling warmly at him.

"Chen Fan!"

Happiness sparkled in Elder Wang's eyes, and a smile broke across his lips.

He knew it—Chen Fan wouldn't go down so easily.

"I'm sorry, Elder Wang, to have scared you."

Chen Fan apologized.

To catch that creature off guard, he deliberately had the Flying Centipedes intercept it before revealing himself.

The creatures, under his command, naturally didn't harm Elder Wang.

However, anyone could see that Elder Wang must have been scared witless at the time—his face had gone pale.

"Hahaha."

Elder Wang laughed heartily at these words and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, clearly I should have anticipated it. After all, you managed to withstand one Flying Centipede and control another. The others, equivalent to only Early-stage Celestial Martial Artists, couldn't possibly break through your Undying Golden Body in a short time."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the wrestling Flying Centipedes, finding the scene amusing.

The Flying Centipede that had chased him probably never dreamed its own companions would ambush it one day.

It couldn't win the fight, nor could it escape.

In contrast, the other Flying Centipedes were going all out, quickly inflicting numerous wounds on it.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the outcome would be decided.

"Elder Wang, let's sit and regain our True Qi."

"Alright."

The two of them sat down where they stood, meditating to regulate their breath.

That Flying Centipede being assaulted kept letting out roars.

However, no matter how much it roared, its fellow centipedes seemed not to hear, continuing their aggressive attacks.

Its eyes inadvertently swept towards the distant two human figures, suddenly understanding.

Yes, its companions were attacking it because of those two.

Despicable humans!

Raging anger filled its eyes, and it charged straight at Chen Fan.

However, the other Flying Centipedes weren't pushovers and desperately blocked its way.

Unless it fought to kill these creatures, there was no way it was breaking through.

As time ticked by, its injuries worsened, its momentum fading. Its carapace was covered in cracks, and many of its legs had vanished.

The other Flying Centipedes weren't faring too well either.

Having fought Chen Fan earlier, they were already heavily injured; if the centipede controlling its movements hadn't held back, they would have been wiped out by now.

"That should be enough."

Chen Fan sensed the changes in the battlefield's atmosphere, opened his eyes, and stood up.

Elder Wang, noticing, also opened his eyes.

Their gaze locked with the Flying Centipede's.

Its eyes were filled with resentment, anger, and unwillingness.

"Seems like you've figured it out."

Chen Fan communicated telepathically with it.

"That's right, your companions are under my control. They attacked you under my command."

Beast King-level Fierce Beasts could communicate telepathically with humans.

This creature's power matched the top-tier Beast Kings, so it naturally could communicate— if it wanted to.

The next moment,

that Flying Centipede let out a roar and tried to charge, but the other centipedes blocked its path.

"Despicable outsider, what do you want!"

An angry voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind.

"You noticed I'm from outside?" Chen Fan found it a bit amusing.

He looked at his modern attire and then at Elder Wang's ancient robe, instantly understanding.

Indeed, apart from Elder Wang, other notable families from Yan Country had probably come, and some might be dressed just like him.
