Didn’t you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to make things more complicated, but unfortunately, the people here didn’t think the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was clear from a glance that these people were hard to communicate with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of wasting words, it was better to cut to the chase since every one of these people had blood on their hands. Killing them was just a way to rid the world of pests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he threw a punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, they watched a massive golden fist seal rush towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Argh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their screams pierced the air as their bodies burst into blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a dozen people behind them were stunned, and before they could react, they were hit by another fist seal and died on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he went deeper, the space around him became more spacious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of black-haired rats also increased from dozens to hundreds, now becoming countless and endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there were some golden figures among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vajra Rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were mutant versions of black-haired rats, covered with a layer of golden armor after mutation, and their combat power was several times that of black-haired rats, at the same high-level fierce beast status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was more interesting; getting rid of them group by group would take forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the noise was too much and it would easily attract attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a matter of fact, it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground disturbances were easy to transmit, and with Chen Fan making such a big move, it was hard not to get noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on? Is it an earthquake? But there’s never been an earthquake in Rat City all these years.\" Someone opened their eyes with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly is going on? Could it be that someone from outside snuck in and got discovered, hence the fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, the intruder must be quite powerful to reach here without being discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another clueless fool came in?\" Deeper inside, someone sneered with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unnoticed, the entire Rat City became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep underground, Chen Fan continued his unbeaten hunt of the fierce beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The experience points on the panel increased rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eleven million,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve million,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirteen million...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of Basic Boxing and Kicking also improved by one or two levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With good luck, today’s experience points would reach twenty million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so much experience, even the undying golden body would be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he sensed something, glanced southeast, and continued killing the waves of fierce beasts as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he notice me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the southeastern corner, a figure broke out in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being extremely careful in concealing his presence, he still couldn’t escape the opponent’s detection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if discovered, it doesn’t matter. He’s surrounded and will eventually run out of True Essence. Let’s see how long he can last.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and the black-haired rats seemed endless. Elite Vajra Rats began to appear as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People kept gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is that guy? Has anyone here seen him before?\" Someone looked at Chen Fan, who wore a mask, and asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never seen him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neither have I.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s definitely not from Rat City; no one here likes to wear masks.

What if they were recognized? Didn’t we beat back the Awakened Association’s teams multiple times? They don’t dare come anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, he’s from outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most likely. Damn, what were the people on the surface doing? Didn’t notice someone coming all the way here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, he’s trapped now.\" Someone said with glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an open fight on the surface, they wouldn’t be a match for the Awakener squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they always fought underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground tunnels were like a maze where intruders easily got lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, familiar with the area, navigating even with closed eyes was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the underground space housed over a hundred thousand black-haired rats and thousands of Vajra Rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used these beasts to deplete the Awakeners’ spiritual power and special items before making a move themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked guy didn’t seem to be an Awakener, but a martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, the tactic was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his True Essence was almost depleted, he would meet his end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-haired rats kept attacking, but people started noticing something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been half a day, and the person hadn’t shown any signs of exhaustion, as if his True Essence was boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone said, \"He’s definitely on his last legs, soon to collapse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, even veteran Awakeners fell eventually. We just need to wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Someone hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say that it was just one person; was there any need to fear him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he held his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time, the black-haired rats decreased visibly until none were left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding people were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many black-haired rats, all gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think he’s a Celestial Realm Martial Artist?\" someone suddenly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celestial, Celestial Realm Martial Artist! No, can’t be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only noble families had Celestial Realm Martial Artists. Why would one come here? What’s to gain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Jin, what do we do? Stop him or let him leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him leave? No, what if he’s scouting for the Awakened Association?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, listen to Elder Jin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed kind, but those who knew him stayed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Elder Jin, known for his cruelty, loved peeling his opponents’ skin slowly, making them die from dual physical and mental torture, earning him the nickname Golden Skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fled to Rat City because his atrocities made him a wanted A-level criminal in Yan Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rat City’s criminals were notorious, but most were nothing compared to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Jin smiled, \"It would be impolite to not ’properly entertain’ our guest, wouldn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious what kind of ’entertainment’ he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, why did that guy have to come here of all places?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan stretched; he had cleared the black-haired rats in this area and was ready to move on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap, clap, clap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Applause echoed as an old man with a radiant face approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your strength is impressive, friend. But isn’t it a bit rude to come here unannounced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Elder Jin speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he appeared, figures descended like raindrops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, over a hundred people surrounded Chen Fan, all on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen Chen Fan kill tens of thousands of black-haired rats and thousands of Vajra Rats barehanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few among them could do the same, so they refrained from underestimating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, they thought he was probably at his limit. If a fight broke out, he would surely lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sighed, expecting them to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, finally fixing his gaze on the old man and said, \"Rude? Maybe, but even if I had notified you, would you have let me in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows? Maybe if you had told us first, we might have agreed. Right, everyone?\" The old man laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, hahahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd laughed uproariously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pity you didn’t,\" Elder Jin sighed, his face turning cold, \"So, are you ready to pay the price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1344,"2026-06-06T15:42:49.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1ddd063933df1fbe1b7b3d2ca57303ba7440176ef21735001a232133e9aa8ad","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-491","high-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-chapter-489",808,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-invincible-starts-from-basic-a-cover.jpg"]
