Chapter 1867 - 1734: Encirclement and Slaughter
The entire trial arena echoed with the cries of apes and roars of tigers, the cries of cranes and calls of eagles, presenting a scene of wilderness where cruel hunts transpired incessantly.
Meanwhile, the entire world was filled with a mysterious essence of Tao.
In this Purgatory Trial Ground, trialists had to not only survive in this harsh environment but also comprehend the primordial laws of the world and the Heaven and Earth Great Tao, which was a significant challenge for every cultivator.
Over three hundred trialists in this vast trial arena were as insignificant as a few stars scattered across the sky.
However—
While Ye Fan was quietly comprehending the primordial laws of this world, the followers of Young Master Pang Xie, the son of the Divine City Lord, appeared.
It was unknown what special method they used, but they managed to pinpoint Ye Fan’s location in such a vast trial arena.
But all of that was unimportant now; these people were ordered by Young Master Pang Xie to kill Ye Fan, seize the Bai Yan wolf, and avenge his brother-in-law Young Master Chen.
That was their main reason for appearing here!
This group of over thirty were all followers of Pang Xie, strong people from various star domains who’ve all embarked on the strongest trial path, each a hero dominating their region.
Some of them were even strong people who ultimately failed on this strongest trial path; though they were failures, they were terrifying indeed.
Swish!
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Fan opened his eyes, shooting out two dragon-shaped Divine Lights, scanning them briefly, then closed his eyes again to continue comprehending the primordial laws of this world and the Heaven and Earth Great Tao.
"Did you see that? How arrogant and conceited he is, completely disregarding us, as if he truly considers himself a supreme master! It’s both pathetic and laughable!"
"Why waste time with a dead man, just move forward, kill him, and bring that beast to Young Master Pang!"
More than thirty people flew in from the distance, surrounding Ye Fan completely, each revealing killing intent, coldly watching Ye Fan on the mountaintop without hiding their murderous aura.
"There is no enmity between us, yet you press me so; it’s hard for me to even consider sparing you!"
Ye Fan stood up, calmly surveyed them, and spoke lightly.
"You offended Young Master Pang and still think you can leave here alive? How ignorant do you have to be not to know the meaning of death," one person coldly rebuked.
"Indeed, in this Human Clan’s First City, no one who has offended Young Master Pang has successfully completed the trial. You are neither the first, nor will you be the last," another added.
The group advanced, step by step, their powerful aura frightening the nearby Xuan Beasts into terrified roars before they fled away.
One must admit, this group of cultivators was terrifying, causing even an Early-Stage Venerable to frown!
"I’m giving you a chance: cripple your cultivation and hand over that beast, and perhaps we’ll spare your life, considering the grace of the heavens."
"Indeed, abolish your cultivation immediately, hand over all your Mystical Skills and Martial Arts Secret Skills, and we may let you live."
The thirty-plus people advanced together, their sharp killing intent piercing the Nine Heavens, all with cruel smiles.
In their minds, forcing Ye Fan to cripple his cultivation was far more fulfilling than slaying him with a single strike.
"Have you said your last words?"
Ye Fan asked calmly, the sea of his heart unperturbed.
"Uh..."
All of their expressions froze; such humiliation hadn’t disturbed him in the slightest, which sent chills through their hearts, unsettled them despite failing to disrupt his composure.
Such a terrifying opponent; fortunately, his strength wasn’t great yet. Otherwise, just his mental realm would be enough to instill fear in them.
"I’ve tolerated you long enough. Do you really think I’m someone to be trifled with? Roll over here and face your death!"
The Bai Yan wolf erupted; these people hadn’t regarded it at all, stoking its fury.
Ye Fan opened his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, scrutinizing them closely, noticing that aside from a few soldiers maintaining order in the Divine City at the Lord Realm Peak, the others ranged from the Early Lord Realm to its peak, with most being in the Mid-Stage to Late Lord Realm.
This kind of combat power, united, was indeed formidable, yet not concerning to him. Except for those battle-hardened soldiers who might pose a challenge, the rest were negligible.
"He who kills will be killed; since you wish to kill me, prepare to be killed!" Ye Fan declared coldly.
As his words fell, Ye Fan ceased to suppress his true combat power; his vital energy surged like a Heavenly Dragon straight to the clouds, his blood roaring like thunder, unleashing a powerful war intent that swept across the vast and boundless earth.
His black hair cascaded like a waterfall; his gaze was like cold electricity. Though standing alone, he possessed an atmosphere of swallowing the universe, his divine bearing unmatched, acclaimed by the world.
"Kill!"
Sensing danger, the group attacked together, unleashing various Spiritual Treasure Divine Weapons, Sword Qi crisscrossing, sword light splitting the sky, Divine Light piercing the void, a terrifying storm of killing intent.
More terrifying still, a few of them even unleashed Divine Demon Thunder, hurling it directly at Ye Fan, intending to blast him to death.
The Divine Demon Thunder had enormous power, a type of Forbidden Artifact, infused with the power of gods and demons within a container, reinforced with talismans and Tao Patterns. Upon detonation, it could threaten a Saint Lord Level strong person.
"Boom..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Intense explosions ensued, shaking the earth and mountains; almost instantly, the surrounding hundreds of miles became flat ground, the earth subsided thousands of meters, rendering the area void of vegetation, with all mountains gone.
This was a Forbidden Artifact, exceedingly difficult to forge successfully. It could indeed kill a Saint Lord Level strong person and was brought onto the Xing Kong Gu Road specifically to deal with supreme strong people, now deployed first against Ye Fan, showcasing their determination to kill him.
Had it been anyone else, even a Saint Lord ruling a region would be doomed, unable to evade or outrun the explosive radiance of the Forbidden Artifact Divine Demon Thunder.
However—
Ye Fan was not among them; he didn’t flee. Instead, at the moment the Divine Demon Thunder exploded, he took Bai Yan wolf and hid in the Virtual Space of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
The Virtual Space is a space independent of all worlds, actually the space derived from the Emperor Weapon of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown.
Although the Divine Demon Thunder is terrifying, it cannot harm the Emperor Weapon in the slightest, and naturally, it couldn’t harm Ye Fan inside the Virtual Space.
The light dissipated, and the place where Ye Fan stood was empty, leaving nothing behind.
"Ssss~"
This scene instantly made these people breathe a sigh of relief, though they felt a bit regretful—the Bai Yan wolf was blown to death, and they hadn’t perfectly completed the task Pang Xie gave them.
However, this minor flaw was still within the acceptable range. As long as Ye Fan was killed, it didn’t matter whether the Bai Yan wolf survived.
"Hahaha... I thought he was so strong, but he’s just like that!" a young cultivator laughed aloud.
"Exactly, having offended Young Master Pang, there’s only one road to death, and from now on, there’s no such person in this world," others echoed.
"Bang!"
The void split open, and Ye Fan stepped out of the Virtual Space with Bai Yan wolf, delivering a punch that blew the young cultivator into pieces in the air, blood splattering, bones flying.
"Ah..."
The man screamed, his Divine Soul shooting out from the top of his skull, transforming into a miniature version of himself, screaming in terror as he fled into the distance.
"Suppress!"
Ye Fan’s stern shout resonated, and the first Heavenly Sound of the Divine Soul Resonance Heavenly Sound echoed. The man’s Divine Soul paused, then disintegrated in the air, utterly annihilated.
"What?"
"He actually didn’t die?"
"What on earth is happening?!"
Ye Fan’s unexpected appearance and instant kill of one of their compatriots shocked everyone, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.
Under such a powerful explosion earlier, even a Mid-stage Venerable Realm Saint Lord couldn’t possibly escape, but this scene before them...
Ye Fan not only evaded the explosion of the Divine Demon Thunder and their attacks but also remained unscathed, taking out one of their companions in one move. How could they not be shocked?
"Everyone, attack together and kill him!"
Several soldiers’ expressions changed drastically, realizing they had hit an iron plate this time. Given that Ye Fan dared to enter the Trial Arena knowing so many wanted to kill him, he clearly had absolute confidence.
Confidence stems from strength. Since he had such confidence, he must have the strength to handle crises.
"Ice Blade!"
"Gun Forest!"
"Flame Divine Dragon!"
"Holy Light Judgment!"
In an instant, various Divine Skills appeared like fireworks, all attacking Ye Fan. These people knew that the hatred between them and Ye Fan was irreconcilable, and they had to do their best to kill him, or they would suffer.
"Eight Phase World!"
Ye Fan let out a cold snort, unleashing the Absolute Defense of the Eight Phase World Domain. Unaffected by Ten Thousand Techniques, none of the Domain and Divine Skills attacks could pose any threat to him.
On the contrary, as he unfolded the Xuandi Fist, shattering the eternal void and piercing through the Six Paths Reincarnation, his every punch was unsurpassably powerful, with blood splatter ensuing.
One vibrant life after another bloomed with their final brilliance under his fist, their Divine Souls unable to escape.
The deeper Ye Fan’s insight into the Xuandi Fist, the more he was shocked, not daring to even look up at the realm of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor.
The Great Emperor had already surpassed the category of cultivators, even beyond humans, becoming the sole master of heaven and earth.
The Xuandi Fist was created by the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor after Proving Dao, and neither his breadth of mind nor his vision can be reached by ordinary people.
However, these people were top-notch strongmen in their domains, with formidable strength that could not be underestimated, each with their own Absolute Techniques and secret techniques.
At this moment, having reached the brink of life and death, they no longer held back, unleashing their full strength.
Bai Yan wolf fought against five, a shake of the Purple Gold Bell sending out rolling sound waves that directly shattered one of them alive, their Divine Soul unable to escape.
"Did you all take me for a sick cat because I wasn’t fierce?"
Bai Yan wolf shouted as it fought.
It was utterly unscrupulous, specifically targeting the opponents’ lower parts. In just a few rounds, the opponents had become nude models, with their clothes ripped to shreds by it.
What drove those people to collapse the most was this guy was sleazy, unscrupulous, shady, and insidious, specifically biting their lower brothers and butts.
