Chapter 100: Ye Fan’s Moment of Opportunity
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jiang Chen’s longsword and Ye Fan’s long saber clashed wildly, sending waves of battle energy surging in every direction!
Just then, the wounded Miao Xiaorui, who got back on her feet with the help of her fellow sect members, called out softly, "Jiang Chen, thank you!" The expression in her eyes was somewhat strange as she looked in his direction.
Jiang Chen responded with a curt nod before decisively instructing, "Everyone, pull back now!" He didn’t want these walking sources of qi and blood energy anywhere near Ye Fan.
As expected, Duan Ziming didn’t let him down. He swiftly decided to fall back with his group, declaring, "We’re pulling out!" He also encouraged members from the Floating Spirit Sect, the Ice Heart School, and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain to follow suit.
They stood no chance against the showdown between Jiang Chen and Ye Fan; their presence would merely get in the way.
However, the remaining disciples from the four sects could only pull back to the entrance of the passage, brimming with illusions and traps, reluctant to go any further. They were fully aware of the passage’s daunting nature.
At this point, everyone was in a weakened state, not eager to risk exploring its dangerous depths.
"Let’s wait for Jiang Chen here!" Duan Ziming announced, signaling with his hand for everyone to stop and start treating their injuries.
While the disciples from the Ice Heart School and the Floating Spirit Sect stayed with the members of the Starry Abyss Sect, the disciples from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, on the other hand, gathered cautiously in a corner, ready to dash through the passage that was fraught with danger at any moment.
They knew that if Jiang Chen, who appeared to have the upper hand in his intense battle with Ye Fan, eventually managed to kill the latter, then they would be next on the list. The deep-rooted hostility between Jiang Chen and their sect was already well established.
...
On the battlefield, Jiang Chen, wielding his Shadowblade Sword with all his might and unleashing a full-scale assault, didn’t miss the chance to mock Ye Fan. "Hehe, what’s the matter, wimp, can’t you keep up? If you don’t step it up, today might just be your last day!" he taunted, maintaining his arrogant demeanor.
"Shut up! I’m no wimp," Ye Fan roared back in anger, his face turning a deep red as he swung his long saber with all his strength, trying to counter Jiang Chen’s unyielding attacks.
Despite his expertise in numerous cultivation methods and a wide array of fighting styles, along with his vast combat experience, he was gradually being overpowered by Jiang Chen.
True, Ye Fan was skilled at defeating opponents beyond his level. But when faced with a challenge that exceeded his limits, he found himself somewhat outmatched.
Just when it looked like Ye Fan was in a dire situation, suddenly, a powerful roar echoed, and to everyone’s astonishment, the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, its body engulfed in flames, emerged from the sea of Burning World Raging Flames, attacking Jiang Chen.
While the gruesome scene might have repelled others present, Ye Fan was an exception; a mix of surprise and excitement crossed his face. ’Haha!
Its qi and blood energy!’ he thought, filled with glee, quickly moving away from Jiang Chen to chase after the retreating Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, with the Wordless Heavenly Jade already in his left hand, integrated into his flesh via blood-red threads.
In an instant, streams of qi and blood energy started to gather into the Wordless Heavenly Jade from the surrounding atmosphere!
Seeing Ye Fan reveal his most crucial treasure, Jiang Chen thought to himself, ’So, he’s resorting to his strongest trump card! It looks like I overestimated him. Ye Fan doesn’t have any more tricks up his sleeve.’ This realization brought him a sigh of relief.
The reason he had held back from breaking through to the Heavenly Origin realm before entering the fray was due to his worry that Ye Fan might still have hidden tricks up his sleeve.
But at this point, with Ye Fan unveiling his heaven-defying trump card, it was clear that he had run out of strategic moves.
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s lips as he boldly proclaimed, "Burning World Raging Flames, incinerate everything for me!" In an instant, an intense surge of flames burst forth from him, effectively turning him into a human torch.
The intense Burning World Raging Flames began to devour the qi and blood energy filling the air.
Upon witnessing this, Ye Fan’s expression changed dramatically. For some reason, he suspected that Jiang Chen’s action was intentional, almost as if he knew about the Wordless Heavenly Jade. This thought sent a shiver through him. However, he quickly dismissed it; he couldn’t afford to get distracted. So, without any hesitation, he dashed towards the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
If he could capture the qi and blood energy from the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, he would gain the strength to immediately turn the tide of the battle!
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had no intention of giving him that chance. Skillfully maneuvering the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle, he went straight past Ye Fan, striking near the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
At this point, the demonic beast was so severely burned that it had been blinded, its eyes consumed by the flames. Its massive wolf head was almost reduced to a horrifying, flesh-covered skeleton. Its combat ability was rapidly declining, its actions hesitant and unsteady; it was on the verge of collapse.
Whoosh!
The afterimage of Jiang Chen moved over the head of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, and at the same time, a streak of sword light sliced through the air.
Slash!
The Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf’s body suddenly froze, its massive head cleanly cut off from its neck and falling to the ground.
This Half-step Heavenly Origin realm demonic beast was now completely lifeless.
