“What did you say!? You refuse!?”
The expression on Yin-Yang Young Master’s face was incredibly dark. Who was he? The most cherished son of the Yin-Yang Sect Master, who would bow and flatter him at every turn! But today, he had been confronted repeatedly. That Sun Yueying could be excused; she had the backing of her own sect. But this person in front of him dared to speak to him like this! He was just a small sect disciple!
“Did you not hear? If it lives, a dozen villagers will die!”
Looking at Yin-Yang Young Master, Tian Fan replied coldly.
“Hmph! Just a few villagers, a bunch of mortals! If they die, so be it. It’s not a big deal. To offend me for the sake of a dozen worthless lives is not a wise trade!”
Yin-Yang Young Master finally coldly threatened.
“Mortal!? What is a mortal? Are you not a mortal yourself!?”
Hearing Yin-Yang Young Master refer to others as mortals made Tian Fan very uncomfortable. He had also faced difficulties in his training in the past, ridiculed by those in his family. Even his father looked down on him. Thankfully, he had a pair of lovely younger siblings who genuinely treated him as their brother; otherwise, he might have grown completely indifferent. Now, facing this Yin-Yang Young Master who viewed lives as mere grass, he showed no goodwill.
“What a joke! I have already reached the peak of Spirit Condensation. I am just a step away from entering the Cloud Heaven Realm. How can I be compared to those worthless commoners! I see your cultivation is decent; I advise you not to mislead yourself. Itās not too late to back down now! I have a generous heart and can treat this as if nothing ever happened!”
Yin-Yang Young Master spoke arrogantly, coldly addressing Tian Fan.
“Hmph! What are you? How dare you speak to me like this! Do you want to die?”
The second-in-command, who had been pushed back by Tian Fanās single finger and lost face, harbored deep resentment. Now, with Yin-Yang Young Master as a “big tree” shielding him, he felt justified in ridiculing Tian Fan, regaining his face and expressing his true feelings.
“Get lost!”
In response, Tian Fan coldly glanced over, and two beams of divine light flashed in his eyes.
“Ah!”
The second-in-command was instantly sent flying, rolling on the ground while clutching his head and screaming in agony. This action startled Li Ming and the others behind Yin-Yang Young Master. They had intended to insult Tian Fan, but now, they lacked the courage.
Just a glance had injured someone, enough to instill fear in them. Such strength was something they had only seen in a few freaks among their generationāthose were already at the Cloud Heaven level. Could this young man before them also be a powerful figure in the Cloud Heaven realm? The thought sent a chill down their spines. People of the Cloud Heaven realm were existences they could only look up to.
“You dare to hurt my people!”
Seeing Tian Fan injure his subordinates right before him, Yin-Yang Young Masterās face was filled with killing intent; this was a direct slap in his face.
“So what if I hurt them!”
Tian Fan shot back coldly.
“Good! Very good! I hope you can still laugh when you reach hell!”
Yin-Yang Young Master’s voice was chilling. Suddenly, a sword appeared in his hand. The hilt was shaped like a dragon, and the perfect sword body swirled with yin and yang energies, exuding an aura that made oneās heart tremble. Yin-Yang Young Master didnāt even need to channel his true energy; the sword itself radiated this energy. As the sword emerged, Yin-Yang Young Master’s entire demeanor became extremely fierce, as if he were a powerful being from the Cloud Heaven Realm.
“That’s the Yin-Yang Sword!”
Seeing the sword, Sun Yueying’s expression changed dramatically, even showing signs of fear.
“No way, Junior Sister! Is that the sword that has slain those at the Immortal Ascension level!?” Li Yunyang exclaimed in disbelief.
“Hmph, not bad! Sun Yueying, you have some insight!”
The Yin-Yang Young Master said with a proud smile.
“How could this be? How could the Yin-Yang Sect Master spoil him like this? He even entrusted the treasure of the sect to him!”
Sun Yueying murmured, then looked up at Tian Fan and said, “Junior Brother Tian Fan, don’t fight him anymore. Just let him take that old zombie away.”
Saying this made her feel very uncomfortable. After all, letting that old zombie go meant that the lives of more than a dozen villagers would be lost. But the Yin-Yang Young Master had the Yin-Yang Sword, a renowned sword said to have slain strong experts of the Immortal Ascension Realm. It ranked thirteenth among the divine weapons on the weapon ranking list!
As long as he wielded the Yin-Yang Sword, he could easily kill across realms. She didnāt think Tian Fan could withstand it, so she could only persuade him to give up.
In fact, she didnāt need to say anything. The moment the Yin-Yang Young Master drew the sword, Tian Fan sensed a tremendous pressureānot from the Young Master himself, but entirely because of the sword in his hand. From that sword, he felt a looming threat of death.
“That’s right, Tian Fan, just let him take the old zombie!”
Li Yunyang’s words were filled with bitterness.
“Hmph, it’s too late. Since I’ve drawn this sword, I must return with bl00d on my hands.”
The Yin-Yang Young Master sneered at Tian Fan.
“Yes, kill him! How dare he defy you!”
Li Ming, standing behind the Yin-Yang Young Master, no longer felt fear upon seeing the appearance of the Yin-Yang Sword. He pointed at Tian Fan and shouted. Here, no one knew the terror of the sword better than he did. Just recently, he had witnessed the Young Master wield this sword, forcing an early Cloud Heaven cultivator into a desperate flight, nearly dying beneath the sword. One hundred peak Spirit Condensation cultivators couldn’t compare to a single early Cloud Heaven expert! Transitioning from Spirit Condensation to Cloud Heaven was a qualitative leap! Now that the Yin-Yang Sword was out, he was certainly confident.
“Yin-Yang Young Master, don’t go too far!”
Sun Yueying urged, “If you dare to kill him, my grandfather won’t let you off!”
“Hmph, Sun Yueying, out of respect for your grandfather, I won’t make things difficult for you, nor will I kill that person by your side. But this brat? Hehe, daring to speak to me like that, he must die!”
The Yin-Yang Young Master glanced at Sun Yueying and sneered.
“You!”
Sun Yueying and Li Yunyang both stood up and moved to Tian Fan’s side. Sun Yueying held the Purple Blue Sword, its tip pointed forward. Li Yunyang stood empty-handed, but still looked fearless as he faced the Yin-Yang Young Master, positioning himself in front of Tian Fan.
“You two?”
Tian Fan saw their actions and understood their intentionāthey were ready to fight together.
“Junior Brother Tian Fan, even though we’ve only known each other for a few days, I, Li Yunyang, consider you a brother! I’m not a coward; if we must die, let’s die together!”
Li Yunyang, usually playful, spoke seriously as he looked at Tian Fan.
Seeing Li Yunyang’s pale face and serious expression, Tian Fan’s body trembled lightly. A brother? He called me brother?
Yes, knowing full well that death was imminent, he still stood in front of the sword light, all because of that person behind him, just for those two wordsābrother!
Tian Fan suddenly laughed, so joyfully:
“Haha, brother! Good, you go rest; I can handle this alone!”
Tian Fan looked at Li Yunyang, laughed heartily, and stepped forwardā¦
