Before Lin Fan could react, Liang Sanhu threw a third punch.
Suddenly, all the doors and windows of the venue were blown open by the wind. On the stage, Lin Fan glared at Liang Sanhu, his right hand hovering in the air, tightly gripping Liang Sanhu's fist.
Seeing this, Liang Sanhu quickly withdrew his fist, but even with all his strength, he could not break free from Lin Fan's grasp.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Lin Fan released his grip, and Liang Sanhu took a few steps back, asking suspiciously:
"Who are you?"
Lin Fan adjusted his mask and smiled, "A person from Jiuyou." Then he asked, "And who are you?"
Upon hearing the words "Nine Netherworlds," Liang Sanhu was filled with shock.
Liang Sanhu was also a person from the Nine Netherworld. He was originally the commander-in-chief of the Great Liang Dynasty of the human race. At the beginning of the first year of Taizhang, he inexplicably came to the present world.
Liang Sanhu thought he could act with impunity using his spiritual energy, but he never expected that releasing even a trace of spiritual energy would trigger blood lightning.
After dodging a bolt of blood lightning, Liang Sanhu realized that this world was under a divine curse.
Although they cannot use spiritual energy, the physical abilities of martial artists from other worlds are beyond those of ordinary people. Breaking rocks with their bare hands and resisting a thousand pounds is not difficult for them.
With this skill, Liang Sanhu made a living fighting in underground boxing rings.
Surprisingly, it was discovered that blood lightning would not be triggered 1000 meters underground.
Being able to use his skills in the underground boxing ring gave him a significant advantage.
Over the course of twenty years, Liang Sanhu gradually adapted to modern life, married and had children, but his good fortune did not last long, as his wife passed away three years ago.
Three years after his wife's death, Liang Sanhu never appeared in the underground boxing ring again, but the underground boxing ring still treated him as an honored guest.
After the underground boxing rings closed down, things ended up like this.
Liang Sanhu came to his senses and replied, "I was once a person of the Nine Netherworlds."
Lin Fan wanted to ask something more, but he hesitated because of the bodyguard next to Liang Sanhu. Liang Sanhu noticed his hesitation.
"You can go back now. I'll handle this on my own!" Liang Sanhu said to his bodyguards.
After a moment's hesitation, the bodyguards dragged their leader, who was lying on the ground, away from the venue.
Liang Sanhu watched everyone leave, then turned to Lin Fan and said, "Now it's just the two of us. Tell me, who exactly are you?"
Lin Fan put his hands in his pockets, paced back and forth, and said, "I spent some time in the Nine Netherworld. The year I first arrived in the Nine Netherworld was the first year of Tai Zhang!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Sanhu immediately showed disdain and burst into laughter.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows slightly raised beneath the mask, and asked, "Is it funny?"
"You little brat, you're full of lies!" Liang Sanhu said as he approached Lin Fan. "I came here twenty years ago. Twenty years ago was the first year of Tai Zhang in Jiuyou. You've run into trouble by lying."
After Liang Sanhu finished speaking, he had already arrived in front of Lin Fan and suddenly reached out his large hand to remove Lin Fan's mask.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the mask, Lin Fan vanished without a trace.
The next second, Liang Sanhu felt someone gently patting his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Lin Fan.
Liang Sanhu suddenly raised his hand, trying to grab Lin Fan's hand, but Lin Fan returned to his original position in the next moment.
Liang Sanhu was secretly shocked. This was the Nine Netherworld's martial arts technique, the Mysterious Step. This level was already the pinnacle of the Mysterious Step. It did not require the use of spiritual energy; it could be as fast as lightning using only the functions of the physical body.
"I have no reason to lie to you, and according to the current timeline, I won't arrive at the Nine Netherworld for another five years," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Liang Sanhu was completely bewildered and quickly asked, "What do you mean? How could you have mastered the Misty Steps before even reaching the Nine Netherworlds, and even reached the pinnacle of it?"
Lin Fan calmly explained the situation to Liang Sanhu, just as he had told Nangong Jin:
In the first year of the Tai Zhang era of the Nine Netherworlds, time and space were in chaos. Lin Fan accidentally traveled to the Nine Netherworlds, and some people from the Nine Netherworlds also traveled to the present world.
Time has now been restored by the Heavenly Emperor, and Lin Fan has inexplicably traveled back in time. The Heavenly Emperor has abandoned the people of the Nine Netherworld in the present world and unleashed a cursed Heavenly Punishment of Blood Lightning.
Liang Sanhu shook his head repeatedly, saying, "The Celestial Race and our Human Race have always kept to themselves. Why would they impose divine punishment on us in this world? It must be a punishment for the Celestial Race!"
Lin Fan suddenly realized that Liang Sanhu was absolutely right. The Heavenly Emperor's grand display of blood lightning was definitely not just for a few humans. There must be members of the Nine Netherworld Clan in the present world as well. If that were the case, it would be an extremely troublesome matter.
A few beads of sweat had already seeped from Lin Fan's forehead beneath his mask. He asked Liang Sanhu, "What would happen if there were people from the Celestial Clan in the present world?"
Liang Sanhu swallowed hard and said, "If we were to consider the mindset of the Celestial Clan, they would probably already be considered dragons and phoenixes among men in this world."
Liang Sanhu added, "Furthermore, according to what you said, if the timeline of the first year of Taizhang is incorrect, I arrived here 20 years ago. Perhaps those people from the Celestial Clan arrived even earlier than me! Decades or even centuries earlier?"
"Or have they already integrated into this world? Or are they even manipulating everything?"
After Liang Sanhu finished speaking, he couldn't help but shudder, and Lin Fan felt a growing sense of apprehension.
Liang Sanhu suddenly let out a long sigh: "So be it. My wife has already left me, and my heart is already dead. So be it. I'll just live on like this."
"Don't you want to go back?" Lin Fan asked.
Liang Sanhu frowned and laughed, "Why go back? I've been an orphan since I was a child, spent over 20 years in the Nine Netherworlds, and over 20 years here. Where I belong is no longer important."
Lin Fan: "What do you do in the Nine Netherworld?"
Liang Sanhu: "Commander-in-Chief of the Great Liang Army!"
Lin Fan: "A marshal in his twenties?"
Liang Sanhu: "I am exceptionally gifted and a pillar of the Great Liang Kingdom, a meritorious figure in governing the country."
Lin Fan: "A true man is born under heaven and earth; how can he submit to others?"
Liang Sanhu remained silent, his gaze fixed downwards.
Lin Fan continued, "Does your Great Liang Kingdom still reside in your heart? Do your soldiers still reside in your heart? Do you still remember the oath you took before joining the army?"
Liang Sanhu was filled with mixed emotions. He let out a long sigh and asked, "How do we get back?"
"As long as you listen to me, you can go back," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"As long as you let me go back, I'll do whatever you say!" Liang Sanhu said, then asked, "But who exactly are you?"
Lin Fan slowly removed his mask, revealing his true face to Liang Sanhu.
Liang Sanhu was shocked when he saw this face. Song Xueyao had seen this face before and said it was Lin Fan, who had plotted to harm the bodyguard of Shancheng Interactive Entertainment Group.
"You are Lin Fan?" Liang Sanhu wondered to himself, "Isn't Lin Fan a useless son-in-law?"
Lin Fan guessed that Song Xueyao must have informed Liang Sanhu, after all, Liang Sanhu worked in the same company as her and was a top-notch enforcer.
"I am Lin Fan, but my identity is different from yours," Lin Fan said.
Liang Sanhu frowned and asked, "Then who are you?"
“My Lin is the Lin family of Shancheng.” Lin Fan said calmly, “From now on, you will work at the Tianji Department of Shancheng Group. Report to Nangong Jin. By the way, she is also a member of Jiuyou.”
Liang Sanhu was extremely shocked. He had heard of Nangong Jin's name in the underground boxing ring, but had never fought her. He never expected that Nangong Jin was also from Jiuyou. They were from the same hometown.
Even more shockingly, Nangong Jin also submitted to Lin Fan, which forced Liang Sanhu to submit.
“Okay!” Liang Sanhu said.
"You will use the alias Black Tiger, and Nangong Jin will tell you everything!"
