Tian Fan was in serious trouble. He was struggling to defend himself against the combined assault of more than ten Cloud Heaven Realm experts. Moreover, half of his focus was on breaking through the killing formation, as it posed the greatest threat to him. For the moment, there was no way out.
“Pfft…”
The golden divine token eventually struck Tian Fan, sending a tremor through his body. He spat out a mouthful of bl00d, yet his eyes remained sharp, filled with unyielding battle intent. A dazzling silver sword light slashed from his right hand, tearing through the vast sea of energy and piercing the chest of one of his attackers, rendering them incapable of further combat.
“If you want to kill me, be prepared to pay the price!”
Tian Fan roared, his severely injured body erupting with radiant golden light as he struck out with his palm.
Crack!
The Wind Cloud Diagram shattered instantly, its fragments scattering through the air.
“Damn you, you devil! You destroyed my family heirloom! I will never forgive you!”
The owner of the Wind Cloud Diagram roared in rage, his face twisted with fury. His entire body emitted a crimson glow as he charged at Tian Fan, raising a massive energy sphere in his hands.
“Come back!”
“Don’t be reckless!”
The others shouted warnings, but it was too late.
Tian Fan smirked coldly. A golden sun mark spun between his brows, and a golden divine sword shot out.
“Pfft!”
The man froze in place, still holding the energy sphere high, but his head was already severed. It flew sideways, crashing into a swirling red cloud, where it was torn apart into bl00d and b0ne fragments.
“Urgh…”
Several female cultivators turned pale at the gruesome sight and ran to the side to vomit.
Everyone was in shock. This man was coughing up bl00d, seemingly on the verge of collapse, yet his attacks were ruthless. In just a short time, he had already slain three Cloud Heaven Realm experts.
Inside the Crimson Cloud Killing Formation, the morale of the remaining cultivators plummeted. Was this man even human? He was like a reincarnated war god—unrelenting and impossible to kill. A deep sense of unease spread through the group, making their foreheads break into cold sweat.
“This guy is terrifying!”
“Even Shangguan Yuntian wasn’t this strong when he was young!”
Many cultivators felt a chill down their spines. This level of resilience and combat prowess was beyond comprehension—one man, heavily injured, managing to kill three Cloud Heaven Realm experts.
“Everyone, attack together! Kill him!”
Huangpu Han shouted, waving his crimson flag. The killing formation responded with countless red lightning bolts that crashed down, wreaking havoc as if to obliterate everything in the area.
Boom!
Once again, Tian Fan was sent flying, spewing bl00d. Yet, he climbed back up, his gaze razor-sharp, his fighting spirit unwavering.
“Arrrrghh!”
Tian Fan roared, his aura growing even stronger. The Yin-Yang Sword appeared in his hands. Though sealed and unable to unleash its former divine pressure, its powerful blade was still superior to ordinary weapons.
Boom!
With the Yin-Yang Sword in hand, Tian Fan’s battle intent surged skyward. A boundless golden radiance erupted from his body as he strode forward, executing the Five Elements Sword Art. He slashed apart the waves of crimson killing energy that surged toward him.
Outside the battlefield, Yin Shitian’s eyes turned bl00dshot as he watched Tian Fan. His face twisted with rage. The Yin-Yang Sword had been taken from him, and he hated Tian Fan so much that he wished he could tear him apart.
“Everyone, k!ll him! Whoever takes his head, I will grant them one wish—anything!”
Yin Shitian gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked as he shouted at the battling cultivators.
Boom!
A dozen divine lights struck Tian Fan, sending him flying again. While he was still in mid-air, another surge of crimson killing energy crashed into him, inflicting even more severe injuries. He was running on fumes.
“Big Brother, we should step in now. Otherwise, Little Sister will go berserk and turn the Shangguan Clan upside down.”
Shangguan Jingyi was growing anxious. He wasn’t particularly worried about Tian Fan’s safety—he simply feared how furious Zi Ying would be. After all, their first encounter with Tian Fan had been full of deception.
“Wait a little longer.”
Shangguan Yunfeng frowned. He knew all too well how bad Zi Ying’s temper was. Causing chaos in the clan would be the least of their worries—she might even tear the entire Shangguan Clan apart.
However, he could tell that Tian Fan was on the verge of transformation. He was using the battle as a catalyst to break through the mid-stage of the Cloud Heaven Realm.
To everyone’s horror, Tian Fan, who had been knocked down, stood up once more. His entire body was drenched in bl00d, his face pale, devoid of any signs of life. Yet, his surging battle intent remained, burning stronger than ever. Even though he lacked overwhelming divine power, his unwavering determination sent chills down everyone’s spines.
“Kill!”
The son of the Golden Hall Palace Master gritted his teeth and commanded his golden divine token to strike again. The ancient inscriptions on its surface glowed brilliantly, wriggling like living creatures. Thin strands of spiritual energy surged toward it, causing the ground to crack under its power.
Meanwhile, a massive crimson wave surged forth, suddenly turning purple as its temperature skyrocketed. The very air sizzled from the heat.
“Come at me! Today, either I die, or you all perish!”
Tian Fan roared, his long hair standing on end as his battle intent soared to the heavens. A massive Five Elements Formation emerged from his body, shielding him from the incoming attacks.
“Pfft!”
Once again, Tian Fan was blasted away. The relentless crimson killing energy continued its assault, scorching his body. He was on the brink of being burnt to ashes, yet he stood up once more. Though he was on the verge of collapse, an indomitable battle aura surrounded him, supporting both his body and his will.
“Damn it! Why is this guy so hard to kill?!”
Even Huangpu Han was feeling the strain. Maintaining such a powerful killing formation was draining him significantly.
“You little b*stard! Weren’t you supposed to be the so-called Son of God? Haha! Even the gods can’t save you today!”
Yin Shitian’s face was twisted with madness, his eyes filled with vicious glee.
Boom!
Several crimson beams struck Tian Fan, along with more than a dozen magical artifacts. His body was barely holding together, riddled with cracks, but his battle spirit refused to die.
Tian Fan was sent flying again and again, yet he kept standing back up. Each time, his divine energy dwindled, but his aura grew stronger. After the ninth time, however, he could no longer rise. He lay motionless on the ground.
“Hahaha! You little b*stard! You’re finally dead! Finally dead!”
Yin Shitian burst into crazed laughter, tears streaming down his face from sheer hatred.
The surviving cultivators, though uninjured, were utterly exhausted. The overwhelming pressure they had endured made it feel as if an invisible hand had been gripping their hearts.
Even Huangpu Han sighed in relief, wiping the sweat from his brow with a satisfied smile.
“He’s really dead?”
“The Son of God has fallen!”
“A fallen genius… what a pity, what a tragedy!”
Many cultivators sighed. Everyone present knew the truth—this was nothing more than a scheme orchestrated by powerful factions. But knowing was one thing, speaking out was another. None of them dared voice their thoughts, fearing they would become the next Tian Fan.
“We’re doomed, Big Brother. Little Sister is going to tear us apart.”
Shangguan Jingyi groaned.
“Not necessarily…”
Shangguan Yunfeng murmured, looking up at the sky, where a radiant seven-colored light was slowly beginning to emerge…
