Best Young Master

The invisible killing intent surged like a great world collapsing and breaking apart. The air of slaughter swept across heaven and earth, and the entire central area of the Forbidden Zone was completely shrouded by the Emperor Killing Array.

"Ye Fan, do you think setting up a killing array can trap this old man? Let me tell you, it’s wishful thinking! No kind of killing array can trap this old man!"

The City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City was extremely powerful, surrounded by holy light, moving freely within the Emperor Killing Array.

The Demon Clan Saint was also overwhelmingly demonic, attacking the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City while resisting the killing array, forcing the City Lord to go all out.

Once the Emperor Killing Array was activated, it devoured the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, turning this Forbidden Zone into an ancient battlefield, a grindstone of the ages.

In this void, tens of thousands of great dragons soared, representing the most terrifying killing aura, with various thunder lights flickering. Anyone struck would inevitably turn to ashes.

Only strong people of Saint Lord Level like the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City and the Demon Clan Saint could resist such terrifying killing light.

"This..."

Outside the killing array, Young Master Pang Xie was completely shocked. He never imagined that Ye Fan could still have the ability to counterattack in such a desperate situation.

Feeling the shocking killing intent within the great array, he felt deeply uneasy, with a vague sense of foreboding!

"Boom!"

The killing array broke open, and Ye Fan charged out majestically with Bai Yan Wolf by his side, his blood aura like a vast sea, exuding intense killing intent, like a God of Killing returning from ancient times.

"You... you actually didn’t die?"

Young Master Pang Xie was stunned beyond belief, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist, his eyes nearly popping out!

This was too unbelievable!

His father was a strong person of Saint Lord Level, absolutely top-tier even in the First City of the Xing Kong Gu Road. How else could he suppress the trialists passing through the First City?

However—

Ye Fan emerged from the killing array unscathed, and his father did not manage to kill him. What did this signify?

"Indeed, I’m not dead. Are you surprised?"

With a cold killing intent, Ye Fan walked toward Young Master Pang Xie step by step, coldly stating, "I didn’t die, but you soon will!"

"Buzz!"

Young Master Pang Xie did not hesitate, immediately summoning a forbidden artifact to strike at Ye Fan while using his movement technique to rush out of the Forbidden Zone.

Facing Ye Fan, who resembled a God of Killing, he lost all fighting spirit, his heart gripped by cold fear, so he fled without a word.

He firmly believed that if he could hold on for a moment, his father would surely break out of the killing array to save him. Therefore, he desperately fled, hoping to buy some time until his father broke through the array.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan swung his golden fist like a mountain across the sky, smashing the forbidden artifact to pieces, enveloping himself and Bai Yan Wolf in terrifying destruction aura.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing this, Young Master Pang Xie stopped to laugh wildly, "Reckless fool, trying to catch a forbidden artifact barehanded? Do you think you’re a young Great Emperor?"

"I’m not a young Great Emperor, but killing you is enough!"

Before his words were finished, Ye Fan charged out of the destruction aura with Bai Yan Wolf, moving toward him like a God of Killing.

"What? How can this be?!"

Young Master Pang Xie was dumbfounded. The explosive power of that forbidden artifact should have been enough to instantly kill a late-stage cultivator in the Lord Realm, even he couldn’t withstand it. Yet, Ye Fan shattered it barehanded, unharmed.

This result sent his heart plunging into dread, his blood running cold.

How can I fight this?

The gap between the two was too large!

He couldn’t comprehend why Ye Fan, who seemed to be only mid-stage in the Lord Realm, possessed such astounding combat power. It completely defied logic!

Even the geniuses and demons from various star domains on the Xing Kong Gu Road didn’t have such powerful combat strength?

With this thought, Young Master Pang Xie dared not pause for a moment, nearly burning his divine power in a frantic escape.

However—

Moments later, he discovered in despair that Ye Fan was too fast, almost as if traversing space, appearing behind him in the blink of an eye, less than a hundred feet away.

"Pang Xie, we had no enmity, yet you repeatedly sent people to kill me, and now you conspired to take my Emperor Weapon. How can I forgive you?!"

Ye Fan’s icy voice sounded behind Young Master Pang Xie, frightening him to the core, driving him to escape with all his might.

"Father, save me!"

Pang Xie knew that even burning his divine power wouldn’t rid him of Ye Fan’s pursuit, so he cried for help as he fled, hoping his father could break through the killing array in time to save him.

"Today, you will surely die; no one can save you!"

Ye Fan’s figure appeared in front of Young Master Pang Xie, stating expressionlessly.

"Slap!"

A crisp slap resounded in the Forbidden Zone. Ye Fan, utilizing Chasing Star Step, appeared instantly in front of Young Master Pang Xie, slapping him flying.

Pang Xie couldn’t even react, it was as if he actively moved into Ye Fan’s hit, spinning through the air a hundred meters, his left cheek bloody and mangled, his jaw nearly shattered.

"You..."

Pang Xie was astounded and enraged, but dared not stay, simultaneously using divine power to heal his wounded cheek while continuing to flee for his life.

"Die!"

Ye Fan knew that to avoid unforeseen complications, he must quickly and decisively finish off Young Master Pang Xie.

This Emperor Killing Array was heavily incomplete, only about ten percent effective, and couldn’t trap a Saint Lord Level powerhouse for long.

Against the unmatched speed of Chasing Star Step, any strategy of Pang Xie was futile; absolute strength suppressed all.

"Bang!"

Almost instantly, Ye Fan appeared in front of Pang Xie, a golden fist swirling with violent Thunder Power, sending him flying with a powerful punch.

"Boom!"

Bai Yan Wolf also used Chasing Star Step, waiting on Pang Xie’s inevitable path, slapping a massive paw on his spine, nearly breaking it.

"Ah... ah..."

Pang Xie screamed continuously. Despite having a thousand Divine Skills and myriad secret techniques, his speed was inadequate, and he was nearly kicked around like a ball by Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf.

As the son of the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City, when had Pang Xie ever suffered such torment?

At this moment, being gang-beaten by Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf, his whole body was riddled with fractures and covered in blood, in a terrible state.

"Go ahead and be arrogant. When my father breaks free, it will be the time of your deaths!"

Pang Xie’s whole body convulsed, but his eyes remained cold and unyielding.

"That protective old bastard of yours has probably been torn apart by that Demon Clan Saint by now, yet you still expect him to save you? Dream on!" Ye Fan ruthlessly taunted, striking with the Immortal Stele Scattering Hand, nearly shattering him.

"That’s right. The array I set is the Emperor Killing Array; no one can come out of it unharmed!"

Bai Yan wolf boastfully blustered, echoing Ye Fan’s sentiment, scaring Pang Xie so much that his face turned pale.

His greatest fear was that if his father couldn’t break free quickly, he would be doomed for sure.

Previously, he targeted Ye Fan in every possible way, hoping to seize his Emperor Weapon, Cultivation Techniques, martial arts, secret techniques, and so on. The two sides were already locked in a life-and-death struggle.

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

Pang Xie also knew that begging would be of no use, so he might as well brace himself for a desperate battle.

"Fight with me? You don’t have that qualification!"

Ye Fan’s cold voice echoed, a flash in his hand, and the blood-red Jing Tian Divine Spear appeared in his grasp.

"Overpowering Nine Heavens!"

With a mighty shout, Ye Fan unleashed the most powerful move of the Heaven Slaying Seven Spears with the Jing Tian Divine Spear, manifesting countless spear shadows, piercing through him in an instant, as the violent Thunder Power and the power of the Heaven and Earth Tao Markings surged into his meridians.

"Ah..."

Pang Xie screamed, his whole body fixed in the void, unable to move.

"Ye, even if you kill me, you won’t survive!"

Pang Xie’s face twisted in pain, speaking with a hideous expression.

"Whether I survive or not is not for you to decide, and you won’t be around to see it."

Ye Fan calmly replied, then lightly shook the war spear in his hand, directly shattering Pang Xie’s body.

"Bang!"

Pang Xie’s entire body suddenly exploded, blood splattered, and flesh flew, creating an extremely bloody and tragic scene.

"Buzz!"

In the distance, a flash of light appeared, and Pang Xie reappeared, surprisingly unscathed, still in peak condition.

"This is..."

Ye Fan was shocked. Just now, he clearly felt Pang Xie had died, yet he reappeared, which was simply baffling.

Even his own Phoenix Nirvana Technique couldn’t be this fast, could it? The shredded blood and flesh on the ground couldn’t be faked; something strange was going on.

"Heh heh..."

Pang Xie stood in the distant sky, sneering disdainfully, "I told you, you can’t kill me, stop wasting your energy."

"This is..."

Bai Yan wolf’s eyes spun around, and then as if realizing something, suddenly said, "I understand now, it’s a Rebirth Talisman, he must have a Rebirth Talisman on him."

Ye Fan’s heart trembled; the Rebirth Talisman is an exceedingly difficult talisman to forge, possessing incredible power, capable of resurrecting a dead person—as long as there is a trace of the Divine Soul, it can achieve instant rebirth, even restoring to the peak state before death.

Throughout history, only a Great Emperor could forge it; even a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Layer Heaven Peak like the Thunder Venerable master couldn’t do so.

Moreover, the materials needed to forge a Rebirth Talisman are extremely precious; even a Great Emperor couldn’t forge many. Unexpectedly, the City Lord of the Human Clan’s First City doted on his son so much that he gave him such a Rebirth Talisman to save his life.

"Even with a Rebirth Talisman, it’s useless; I’ve said before, today, you must die, and no one can save you!"

As he spoke, Ye Fan again employed Chasing Star Step, instantly appearing not far in front of him, with a golden fist fiercely smashing into his chest.

"Crunch..."

The sound of bones shattering echoed non-stop; at that moment, over a hundred of his bones fractured, blood gushing, as Ye Fan punched through his chest, immobilizing him in place.

"Hand over all your Cultivation Techniques, martial arts, secret techniques, and I’ll give you a quick death, or you’ll taste the torment of the Hundred Ghosts Soul Searching!"

Ye Fan threatened; he actually didn’t know the Hundred Ghosts Soul Searching but might try the Soul Destruction Finger.

But he wasn’t planning to experiment, as time was limited; if that old bastard City Lord broke free, everything would be over.

"You’re dreaming, I won’t let you succeed even in death!"

Pang Xie knew clearly that once he handed over the Cultivation Techniques, martial arts, and secret techniques, he would definitely die; resisting till the end, he might still have a sliver of hope.

"Don’t want to hand over? Then don’t blame us for being rude."

Bai Yan wolf, an expert at looting, at once fished out a small silver shield, silver-white and shiny, ancient and mysterious, definitely a treasure from his Dantian.

Then, under Ye Fan’s watch, Bai Yan wolf began his grand looting business, pulling one treasure after another from Young Master Pang Xie’s body.

He only stopped after emptying his Dantian, muttering, "Impossible! How could there be no Rebirth Talisman? This makes no sense."

Saying this, he set his sights on Pang Xie’s sea of consciousness, directly clawing in and fishing out a pendant of ancient design, which turned out to be the Rebirth Talisman.

"No... you can’t do this!"

With the Rebirth Talisman taken, Pang Xie was truly terrified, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Shut up!"

Ye Fan slapped his cheek, nearly cracking his skull, leaving him dizzy with pain.
