Invincible Young Master in the City

Ye Fan does not fear Fu Xi, at least not Fu Xi without Pan Gu’s assistance, because there is always a significant gap between their cultivation levels.

But Ye Fan also knows that currently, his strength is considerably outmatched by Fu Xi, and he cannot recklessly underestimate Fu Xi before him. He can only find a way to defeat Fu Xi. If he can resolve both Fu Xi and Nuwa before the tribulation and leave only Pan Gu as an opponent, it might be a very good choice for him.

Yet, before the tribulation, it seems his cultivation is not strong enough to kill or defeat Fu Xi.

"Nuwa is in your hands now, and no matter what you did to her, you must ensure her safety. If she dies, I won’t let you off, even when the tribulation is about to come. I will show you the cost! Moreover... if you intend to use some of Nuwa’s power against me and Pan Gu, I think you should give up; Nuwa poses no threat to us at all!" Fu Xi said arrogantly.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Is that so? Whatever you say. At many times, Nuwa seems like a shackle on you and Pan Gu; I think removing this shackle might be a good thing, isn’t it?"

"What do you mean?" Fu Xi felt that Ye Fan’s words had malicious intent.

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "You don’t understand? It’s not hard to understand. If I wanted to kill Nuwa, she would have died ten times over... And you, Fu Xi, because of Nuwa’s bond with you, cannot challenge Pan Gu or control the entire universe. So, in my view, Nuwa is not beneficial to you. It would be better to let Nuwa..."

"Enough!" Fu Xi interrupted Ye Fan coldly, "I roughly understand your meaning. You want to sow discord, create conflict between me and Pan Gu, but do you think I will fall for it? Do you think Pan Gu will fall for it?"

Ye Fan laughed, "I know you won’t listen to these words, but whether Pan Gu will is another matter. Pan Gu is watching intently now; do you think he will trustfully let you come? You claim you have no ambitions toward Pan Gu, then why hide so much power? During the billions of years Pan Gu slept, you woke multiple times, researched energies beyond the universe at secret locations because you know, to surpass Pan Gu, you must start with energies outside the universe. The internal universe’s energies are no longer capable of defeating Pan Gu!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?" Fu Xi retorted, though he felt uneasy inside because Ye Fan’s words weren’t entirely baseless; many were truths.

Ye Fan replied, "Am I talking nonsense? I believe you know clearly; Pan Gu knows clearly. Pan Gu just hasn’t acted against you yet. Do you really think Pan Gu will spare you, let you live through the tribulation? Haha, you’re already on Pan Gu’s kill list. He is merely prolonging it to give you a sliver of hope, and finally crush it. So pitiful that your lifelong fame will be deceived by Pan Gu!"

Ye Fan’s words were not merely inciting conflict between Pan Gu and Fu Xi; they seemed to carry another implication.

Fu Xi sized up Ye Fan and shook his head, "What you’re saying is baseless, conjecture on your part that holds no ground. You’re trying to disrupt my relationship with Pan Gu, but your words are truly meaningless!"

"Is it meaningless?" Ye Fan continued, "Actually, both of you know very well whether my evaluations of you are correct. Fu Xi, ask yourself, haven’t you awakened numerous times in the past, cultivating so much power to contend with Pan Gu? And Pan Gu, ask yourself, don’t you intend to kill him? If what I said just so happens to hit upon your realities, why then do you insist that I’m just shooting blindly?"

As Ye Fan finished speaking, the space ahead seemed to distort, and a figure appeared before Fu Xi and Ye Fan.

This person was none other than Pan Gu.

"Is it you? Why have you come?" Fu Xi looked at Pan Gu inquisitively.

Pan Gu smiled at Fu Xi and said, "Don’t you feel there is some truth in Ye Fan’s words?"

Fu Xi shook his head, "He’s just a crafty human kid. With your level of wisdom, you won’t believe his nonsense, right?"

"Fu Xi, whether I believe or not, you know deep down. Though Ye Fan is a mere human kid, his words always carry logic. Over thousands of years, the only one who might surpass my cultivation is not you, but him. He is my opponent. If I don’t listen to an opponent’s words, then I’m truly out of options. That’s all I can say..." Pan Gu finished, contemplating Ye Fan as if trying to see through him.

Ye Fan remarked, "According to the previous agreement, Nuwa is my concern now. How you handle your relationship is not my business. Pan Gu, Fu Xi, I know your cultivations are currently above mine, and killing me shouldn’t be difficult. I am actually very much looking forward to your battle because I know Fu Xi now harnesses a lot of extracosmic energy; perhaps his cultivation might exceed yours, Pan Gu, or he might have a way to counter you! Haha, your battle is what I eagerly anticipate!"

"You want to benefit as the third party, letting us fight, isn’t that your aim?" Fu Xi coldly analyzed Ye Fan.

Ye Fan shook his head, "I’m merely a human cultivator; my cultivation time has been too short to possibly best either of you. Even through the tribulation, I’m likely not your match. Why would you assume I’d gain as the third party? Pan Gu, if you wish to kill Fu Xi, I will assist you because the final battle is inevitably between you and me. I don’t want Fu Xi to ruin our final confrontation!"

"What did you say?" Fu Xi scrutinized Ye Fan, increasingly inclined to kill him, making clear his power.

Ye Fan added, "Fu Xi, normally it’s necessary to ally with the weak to defeat the strong, but I won’t choose that. The enmity between you and Pan Gu should eventually be resolved. If you can defeat Pan Gu, I promise to return Nuwa to you; otherwise... Nuwa belongs to me because she lost to me, then she’s my possession. You should understand what that means, right?"

The smile on Ye Fan’s face was strikingly sinister to Fu Xi.
