Chapter 2090 - 1953: The Death of Yan!
Mars is also known as the Ancient Star of Yinghuo!
The earth is desolate and hard, with everywhere covered in red-brown soil and gravel, and sporadic giant rocks dotted in between.
"An artificial river?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two dragon-shaped Divine Lights.
He saw, at the end of the vast earth, a man-made river channel stretching across the horizon.
The marks of human excavation were already faint, but some traces could still be seen.
"Whoosh!"
Taking a step forward, Ye Fan seemed to travel through space, arriving above the colossal ravine spanning tens of thousands of miles.
"This is..."
Suddenly, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed. He discovered that this massive artificial river channel was not excavated, but cleaved by a single sword.
The Ancient Star of Yinghuo once had cultivators and had experienced earth-shattering battles.
The reason this ancient star ended up in its current state is probably closely related to those battles.
The aura of a Great Emperor!
Ye Fan sensed the presence of the Great Emperor’s aura on the Ancient Star of Yinghuo, proving that a Great Emperor had once been here.
"Which Great Emperor?" Ye Fan asked himself silently.
There was no answer, but Ye Fan knew the presence of the Great Emperor’s aura added another layer of difficulty to his attempt to break into the Venerable Realm and prove the Dao to become a Saint.
Ye Fan did not rush to breakthrough but instead walked across the entire Ancient Star of Yinghuo on foot, seeking Enlightenment in Dao and Martial Enlightenment.
He needed to prepare thoroughly for a single successful attempt.
Because, while ordinary cultivators comprehend one rule to break into the Venerable Realm, monstrous talents of the ages have comprehended two.
However, with four major rules in his grasp, he not only surpassed those monstrous talents but also exceeded the prowess of a Great Emperor in his youth!
Correspondingly, his path to proving the Dao to become a Saint was far more challenging than others, so he did not dare to take it lightly, instead aiming for perfection to ensure success.
...
Earth!
Huaxia!
The headquarters of the Yanhuang Organization was brightly lit.
Yan, with his hands clasped behind his back, constantly paced back and forth in the study, his brows furrowed.
After the war between humans and mutant beasts, the Cultivation World’s primordial Qi was severely damaged, with heavy losses, and had lost its former glory.
Although it had experienced a decade of recuperation and had somewhat recovered, overall strength was still far from before.
In such circumstances, someone dared to hijack resources sent to Mount Tian and nearly kill Chu Ji, which was extremely suspicious.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
A knock on the door sounded, Yan’s eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
The door opened, and a member of the Yanhuang Organization walked in to report to him: "Leader, the space agency just reported that a satellite captured an unidentified flying object skimming the edge of Earth, heading in the direction of Mars."
"What unidentified flying object?"
Yan frowned, "I don’t have time for this matter right now, go out!"
Scolded by Yan, the Yanhuang Organization member awkwardly exited.
Soon, someone else knocked on the door, and Yan said in a deep voice, "If it’s not about the hijacked resources, there’s no need to report it!"
The visitor was taken aback, then awkwardly said, "Leader, that’s exactly what I need to report."
"Who did it?"
Yan’s eyes paused, and he asked coldly.
Xia Haijiang nodded and said, "After investigation, the ones who hijacked the resources and injured Chu Ji were members of the Xu Family."
"The Xu Family?"
Upon hearing this, Yan was initially stunned, then his eyes shot out two rays of Essence Light, his entire being exuding a terrifying killing intent, and he coldly said, "Have they grown tired of living?!"
After his rage, Yan quickly calmed down and asked Xia Haijiang, "Is the information reliable?"
The Xu Family is the oldest cultivation family in Huaxia, one of the six great ancient forces on Earth, and also a member of the War God Alliance with significant influence.
In this case, to take action against the Xu Family, there must be conclusive evidence; otherwise, even if they deny it, he would have nothing to do.
"Absolutely reliable; someone witnessed that battle and saw a bronze chariot fly towards the Black Water of the White Mountain," Xia Haijiang said in a deep voice.
Coincidentally, when the Xu Family robbed the resources, a few young people saw the scene.
"Very good!" Yan said coldly, "It seems necessary for me to pay the Xu Family a visit."
"It’s a pity there’s no evidence; otherwise, we could force them to hand over the resources."
Xia Haijiang regretfully said, "It is said that those Xu Family members who made a move have not appeared again, and there’s a rumor going around that they made a mistake in cultivation and suddenly died. I suspect there’s something fishy going on here."
"Silencing to eliminate witnesses!"
Yan sneered, "The Xu Family is becoming increasingly cunning, and I’d like to see how they explain this to me!"
Strength is supreme; as the world’s top expert, Yan’s power cannot be underestimated.
An hour later.
A visitor arrived uninvited at the Xu Family Ancestral Land in the Black Water of the White Mountain.
The majestic Yan stood at the entrance of the Xu Family Ancestral Land, shouting coldly, "Xu Changxuan, come out and see me immediately!"
Yan’s voice was loud, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, echoing between the White Mountain and Black Water, lingering for a long time.
Yan had come knocking!
The entire Xu Family was in turmoil!
Ten years ago, Yan had also entered the Xu Family Ancestral Land alone, breaking through the great formation with his own strength, forcing Xu Tianqi to admit his mistake and return the Essence Stones.
Is this scene going to be repeated after ten years?
"Don’t be afraid, things are different now, and Yan won’t act recklessly in our Xu Family!"
Xu Changxuan remained very calm, quickly soothing the soldiers’ morale, and stepped forward to the entrance of the ancestral land.
"Leader Yan’s grand arrival truly honors us, please come in, please come in!"
Xu Changxuan arrived at the entrance, clasped his hands, and politely smiled, showing no hint of guilt.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
Yan was completely indifferent, speaking coldly, "You know why I’m here, hand over the resources, apologize to Chu Ji and the Evil Emperor, and I can spare you this time, otherwise don’t blame me for showing no mercy!"
"What is this about?"
Xu Changxuan performed skillfully, feigning innocence, and said, "I only recently found out about Chu Ji’s incident, without any evidence, you can’t wrongly accuse us!"
"Besides, how could we not know of the Evil Emperor’s reputation? Even if given the guts, we wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on Demoness Chu!"
"Stop acting!"
Yan’s anger surged, speaking coldly, "Without evidence, I wouldn’t have come. Someone saw it was your Xu Family’s people who did it, do you dare deny it? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare flatten your Xu Family?"
"Who is so arrogant as to spout such nonsense, daring to claim to flatten our Xu Family?!"
With the voice, Xu Wuji strode out from the ancestral land, standing before Yan.
Over the past few days, his realm had completely stabilized!
The True Essence Realm, a realm of legend on Earth!
Such combat power is enough to sweep across the world!!
"The Essence Stone was robbed by us, and Chu Ji was injured by us, what can you do?" Xu Wuji was extremely arrogant, showing no regard for Yan.
In his eyes, he and Yan no longer belonged to the same world, separated by half a realm, like an insurmountable chasm.
"Dare to shout in our Xu Family’s ancestral land, it looks like the one who should apologize is you!" Xu Wuji continued.
"Exactly, you must apologize!"
Xu Wuji’s presence instantly boosted the morale of the entire Xu Family, who clamored and no longer feared Yan’s threats.
Xu Changxuan also quickly changed his demeanor, retreating behind Xu Wuji, proudly saying, "Leader Yan, you guessed right, the Essence Stone and the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were robbed on my orders. Originally, we wanted to eliminate Demoness Chu, but she managed to escape."
"The realm of legend!"
From Xu Wuji, Yan sensed danger, which shocked him greatly.
However, having long dwelled in a high position, Yan had mastered the ability to remain expressionless, unchanged even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
At this moment, he showed no outward sign of fluctuations, coldly saying, "What do you intend to do?"
"Intend to do?"
Xu Wuji laughed wildly, saying, "What do you think? The rules of Huaxia, and indeed the entire Earth, need changing."
"You wish to dominate the world?"
Yan frowned, quietly preparing, knowing that a major battle would likely be unavoidable today.
"Why not?"
Xu Wuji arrogantly declared, "I have already broken through the constraints, stepping into the realm of legend, is there anyone under the heavens who can contend with me? You? Or the Evil Emperor?"
"Last time you breached our Xu Family’s grand formation, bringing shame upon us, today I will make you pay with your life!"
Having said this, Xu Wuji aggressively attacked, directly using the Void Thirteen Spears, conjuring countless gun lights to kill Yan.
"Snake and Dragon Joint attack!"
Yan directly used the killing move from the Yanhuang Fist, forcefully resisting Xu Wuji’s Void Thirteen Spears.
"Clang clang clang..."
A series of metallic clashes erupted with dazzling light between them, like brilliant fireworks.
Upon first contact, Yan’s face contorted, Xu Wuji’s True Qi surged like the Yangtze River, endlessly powerful.
Moreover, the big spear in his hand was an Ancient Artifact, emanating a chilling killing intent. Engaging in combat with mere fists, Yan was at a disadvantage, compounded by his inferior strength and realm, he was almost completely overwhelmed.
In a series of a hundred strikes, Yan stepped back a hundred times, his internal energy and blood churning, his chest unbearably distressed.
"Puff!"
In a moment of carelessness, Xu Wuji pierced Yan’s left shoulder with a spear, blood spattered, the astonishing Qi Force directly assaulting his heart meridian.
"Puff!"
Yan spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, dispelling the imminent fatal blow from Xu Wuji, his face ashen.
"Pathetic!"
Xu Wuji contemptuously remarked, "With such strength, you dare claim to be the best in the world? From today, you will be utterly erased from this world!"
"I will fight you to the death!"
Yan roared, directly burning his True Qi, emitting a terrifying aura, both hands like a dragon and a snake, unleashing astonishing Punch Rays.
"Boom!"
The ground cracked, rocks shattered, numerous ancient trees were swept up by the intense Qi Force, exploding in the air.
"Great Stone-Slapping Hand!"
Xu Wuji put away the Divine Spear passed down from ancient ancestors, took a step forward, as if traversing the void, came before Yan, and struck with a hand like a divine monument, blasting Yan away directly.
Bones broken, tendons snapped!
Yan abruptly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his vision somewhat blurred, struggling to get up, yet unable, his eyes filled with deep sorrow and unwillingness.
"Leader Yan, fare thee well, you won’t be lonely, the Evil Emperor and others will soon join you, hahahahaha..." Xu Wuji laughed wildly at the sky, his words were vicious.
"Wuji is mighty, the Xu Family rises!"
"Sweeping across the eight directions, dominating the world, it is just around the corner!"
The Xu Family members were jubilant, repeatedly discussing that with Xu Wuji, the Xu Family’s strong rise was just around the corner!
"Puff!"
Under Yan’s angry gaze, Xu Wuji’s foot descended, directly crushing his head.
A once heroic figure, blood-soaked demise!
The tragedy of Yan!
