"Why are you here?"
Upon seeing Yun Fan appear, the two women's eyes held a mixture of anger and relief. They were angry that Yun Fan would risk danger, as they currently held no value, merely prisoners. For their sake, Yun Fan would fall into peril. They were relieved, however, that Yun Fan had not abandoned them. Though their love tribulations were born for Yun Fan, he might not have cared about their lives. To their surprise, Yun Fan had come.
Yun Fan then said, "Two Dao Venerables, I will not abandon you!"
"But this is too risky!"
The two women were deeply touched.
"Even if it's risky, it's worth it for you!"
Yun Fan said with determination.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, their hearts had completely surrendered. Even Qing Ming, as cold as a mountain, had her icy heart melted by warmth. As for Qing Xuan, there was no need to mention it; her love tribulation had deepened. If it wasn't resolved soon, she too might become like Qing Ming before.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "I will help you break the seal!"
He then removed the seals on the two women, and their powers were restored. The three of them fled the prison together. However, they never expected that as soon as they left the cell, a powerful figure appeared before them. It was none other than Hun Chan.
At this moment, Hun Chan looked at Yun Fan playfully, "Kid, you walk the path of no return. Today, you cannot escape even with wings!"
"I was curious about their love tribulation, and it turns out to be you. As expected of you, you're omnivorous!"
Another voice chimed in. She was Yue Chan, the daughter of the Zen Master, possessing an even more enigmatic power. No one knew the true extent of her strength.
Qing Ming said, "Yun Fan! You should go quickly. You're no match for the two of them alone!"
She was already content that Yun Fan had come. Now, she firmly believed that if Yun Fan abandoned them, he could escape alone without issue.
"Yun Lang, don't worry about us. I have no regrets. This love tribulation was born because of you!"
Qing Xuan also said. At this moment, she was already becoming abnormal, calling Yun Fan with such an intimate and childish tone.
Yun Fan said, "I will not abandon you. Now, listen to my arrangement!"
"What do you want to do?"
For some reason, the two women suddenly realized a serious problem: Yun Fan might be trying to create an opportunity for them to escape.
As they had guessed.
Yun Fan said, "Outside the Seal Zen Land, Xiao Bai will be waiting to escort you. I will keep these two occupied. The rest are not a concern for you!"
"No!"
The two women would never agree to such a thing.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan said again, "Listen to me. You must believe in my strength. Although their power is great, I can still remain undefeated!"
The two women were not indecisive. Therefore, at this moment, they followed Yun Fan's arrangement and began to flee.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Hun Chan immediately attacked.
"Do you take me for a decoration?"
The next moment, Yun Fan met the attack, engaging Hun Chan in a decisive battle.
At this moment, Yue Chan ignored the fleeing women. After all, in her eyes, Yun Fan was the true prize. If Yun Fan were killed, no one could stop the Seal Zen Land's plan. Therefore, at this moment, she launched a surprise attack on Yun Fan from behind.
Yun Fan sensed her power and quickly dodged, evading her sneak attack.
At this point, the two stared coldly at Yun Fan.
Yue Chan said, "Hun Chan, you take the lead, and I'll assist you from the side. If he escapes, you're dead!"
"Yes!"
Hun Chan quickly nodded. Although he harbored a deep fear of Yun Fan in his heart, with Yue Chan's assistance, he bravely charged at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "The moment fear was born in your heart, you were no longer my opponent!"
"Boom!"
Yun Fan unleashed a blast of power, actively suppressing Hun Chan. He even entered a demonic state.
Facing two peak experts of the same level, Yun Fan's heart remained unmoved. He had his own battle plan: kill one first, and that target was naturally Hun Chan. Originally, Hun Chan was capable of fighting him. However, the fear in Hun Chan's heart was his best assist.
The battle between the two resounded through the heavens and earth. At this moment, their strength became immense, escalating infinitely. The entire Seal Zen Land was permeated by their aura.
"What a familiar aura!"
Hun Chan's heart trembled, and his courage weakened as he fought Yun Fan.
Just as Yun Fan was preparing to deliver a heavy blow to Hun Chan, Yue Chan suddenly attacked, appearing beside Yun Fan almost silently.
"Not good!"
Yun Fan's expression changed. This was the first time he had seen such an enigmatic movement technique. He had to admit that Yue Chan had mastered her aura perfectly; even if he had intended to evade, it was too late.
"Die!"
The next moment, Yue Chan struck with full force, hitting him.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. As he had predicted, Yue Chan was the most dangerous woman. Unfortunately, the price was not small.
Yue Chan smiled seductively, "As expected, this trash is ultimately unreliable and requires me to act personally!"
Hun Chan was in a dire situation but could only endure it.
Yun Fan said, "Do you only know how to sneak attack?"
"Who said that?"
Yue Chan said, "You're the one who almost foiled our plan, so later I'm going to peel the flesh off your body piece by piece and then torment you with the most cruel methods, making you beg for life and unable to die!"
It had to be said that she was a ruthless woman. Others might only say such things but not actually do them. Yue Chan was different; her actions were even more brutal than her words. Hun Chan understood this deeply. Years ago, a Zen disciple who had spoken disrespectfully to Yue Chan had his tongue cut out directly by her. In their final battle, he was torn apart by Xiao Bai. And for a small mistake, he had a finger cut off by Yue Chan, demonstrating her extreme ruthlessness.
Yun Fan said, "If you have the ability, I'll let you do as you please. Before then, I advise you to stop boasting!"
"Oh! Is that so?"
Yue Chan said dismissively, "Hun Chan, it's time for you to shine. I want you to burn your life force and fight him desperately!"
"What?"
Hun Chan gasped. How could he not know Yue Chan's plan? She wanted him to burn his life force to severely injure and kill Yun Fan. Then Yue Chan would reap the reward without any risk, but it would come at the cost of his suffering. After burning his life force, he might only have half a life left, or even be killed by Yun Fan. Therefore, at this moment, he completely caved.
"What? Is it difficult for you?"
Yue Chan asked coldly, highly dissatisfied with Hun Chan's reaction.
Hun Chan said with difficulty, "Junior Sister, he is just one person, and we are two. Even without burning our life force, he has no chance of winning!"
"I know!"
Yue Chan sneered, "But I don't have much time. If you don't burn your life force, you know the consequences!"
At these words, Hun Chan's expression changed. He knew that if he didn't do as Yue Chan arranged, she might directly destroy his Dao heart. Once his Dao heart was destroyed, he wouldn't have much time left to live.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Hun Chan, you're a grown man, why do you listen to her? Don't forget, your strengths are comparable. Are you sure you want to be manipulated by her?"
At this moment, he didn't want Hun Chan to burn his life force and fight him. Therefore, he prepared to sow discord between them. However, at this moment, Hun Chan berated him, "The relationship between my Junior Sister and me is not something you can interfere with. Kid, die!"
The next moment, without hesitation, he burned his life force and attacked Yun Fan. Yun Fan was speechless. He could tell that Hun Chan was not a sycophant, but likely had a handle on him held by Yue Chan.
Seeing Hun Chan burn his life force, Yun Fan no longer fought and chose to flee. However, Yue Chan gave him no chance and blocked his escape route. Therefore, Yun Fan, in his helplessness, had to fight head-on.
Seeing the two fighting desperately, Yue Chan smiled playfully, "Fight! Let's see if this trash can kill him!" At this moment, she didn't care about Hun Chan's life or death; what mattered was whether Hun Chan could desperately kill Yun Fan. As long as Yun Fan died, her objective would be achieved. As for the death of Hun Chan during this process, it was not a significant loss.
At this moment, Yun Fan circulated his devouring power and engaged in a world-shattering battle with Hun Chan. During this time, both were injured.
"Boom!"
As Yun Fan unleashed a blast of power, Hun Chan, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward and fainted.
"Hoo!"
Yun Fan exhaled, his body bearing several wounds, but not yet at the point of no return. What puzzled him was that Hun Chan shouldn't be so weak. He hadn't even used his true trump card, and he had already knocked Hun Chan unconscious. In Yun Fan's opinion, even with the boost from fear, Hun Chan shouldn't be this inept. But it wasn't the time to ponder these things, as he still had to face the powerful and enigmatic Yue Chan.
"Trash is trash!"
Yue Chan looked disdainfully at Hun Chan, who was like a dead dog, and then walked towards Yun Fan. "It seems I still have to kill you myself!" She said to Yun Fan with amusement.
"I know you are powerful, but you cannot kill me!"
Yun Fan said calmly, "I am not yet at my weakest. I am capable of fighting you!"
"So?"
Yue Chan pressed.
"So, I suggest we don't fight. Our grievances with the Seal Zen Land can be settled in a decisive battle at a later time!"
This was Yun Fan's suggestion. It was not yet time for a decisive battle with the Seal Zen Land, so Yun Fan did not intend to fight to the death. When he had made all his arrangements, it would be the best time to act. Today, he was only here to save people.
Yue Chan sneered, "You are truly naive. However, this suggestion is good. I accept it!"
"Then I bid farewell. Wait until the day I conquer the Seal Zen Land. That day will not be far!"
With that, Yun Fan turned and left. However, at that very moment, Yue Chan suddenly attacked, directly ambushing Yun Fan.
Yun Fan, who was prepared, calmly took out his second senior sister's sword, Qing Hong, and blocked Yue Chan's killing weapon. Yue Chan's killing weapon was an enigmatic dagger. If struck, even a Half-step Emperor Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand it.
"I knew you were a person of your word, so I had a backup plan!"
Yun Fan said coldly.
"Don't you think your suggestion was childish?"
Yue Chan said playfully, "Since you've come, there's no need to leave. I happen to need a human specimen, and you're perfect!"
"Dream on!"
Yun Fan quickly exerted force, repelling Yue Chan. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yue Chan attacked like a phantom. The dagger directly pierced Yun Fan's abdomen. Yun Fan cried out in pain and counterattacked, stabbing Yue Chan. Yue Chan clutched her wound, sniffed the blood on her nose, and said, "Very stimulating!"
Yun Fan's scalp tingled. This woman was a complete pervert. If Wang You before was pathological, then Yue Chan was a cruel pervert. Such people were often the most terrifying, as she could even harm herself. Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan mustered all his concentration, wanting to reach his peak state. However, Yue Chan attacked swiftly, giving him no chance to ascend. This was truly unsportsmanlike. In his helplessness, Yun Fan could only fight Yue Chan. Whenever he left a wound on Yue Chan, she would also leave a wound on him. These wounds were often fatal. In the past, Yun Fan had never feared anyone in a desperate fight, but this time, he was truly afraid because he had encountered someone who fought even more desperately than he did.
Yun Fan, enduring the pain, said coldly, "What is the meaning of fighting like this? In the end, we will both perish!"
"What? Are you scared?"
Yue Chan smiled flirtatiously, "You are a demon, how can you be scared?"
"Of course I'm not scared. It's just not worth fighting to the death with you!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "Don't use such despicable means. Let's have a peak battle!"
"If this method can restrain you, why wouldn't I use it?"
The next moment, Yue Chan attacked again, completely without warning. Yun Fan unleashed a sword strike, piercing Yue Chan's body, only for Yue Chan to stab him with her dagger, piercing him through the heart.
At this point, both were at the end of their strength. Yun Fan was frustrated because, from beginning to end, he had no chance to ascend. His weakness was easily exploited by Yue Chan.
Yue Chan said, "Continue!" With that, she licked the bloody dagger. "Your blood tastes ordinary. Indeed, you are worthy of being called a scumbag!"
At these words, Yun Fan became enraged. He said, "Very well, do you think I truly fear death?" With that, he became furious, enduring the pain of several fatal wounds inflicted by Yue Chan, and ascended. However, he only managed to ascend halfway before he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, he collapsed to the ground.
"The dagger has a problem!"
Yun Fan, at this moment, discovered the clue: he couldn't use even a fraction of his strength. If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have faced death.
Yue Chan said playfully, "How does it feel to be tricked?"
"Hmph!"
Yun Fan snorted, "You venomous woman, kill me if you dare!" At this moment, he was constantly provoking Yue Chan with his words because he was gambling, betting that Yue Chan wouldn't kill him easily but would torment him with various methods. As long as he could stall for time until his devouring power could devour the restrictions Yue Chan had placed within him, he would then counterattack Yue Chan.
"Alright! Since you've made this request, I'll grant it!"
Yun Fan was instantly dumbfounded. When had Yue Chan become so agreeable?
"Aren't you going to torment me to death?"
Yun Fan asked.
"Do you think I don't know what you're planning? Don't forget, I've studied your demonic physiques!"
Yue Chan said directly. Seeing his plan exposed, Yun Fan's heart tightened. As expected, Yue Chan attacked. However, just as she reached Yun Fan, Yun Fan gathered his strength and launched a final strike. This strike directly pierced Yue Chan's chest. Yue Chan fell to the ground in disbelief, "How do you still have means?"
"If you have means, don't I have them too?"
Yun Fan sneered, "Now our situations are similar, and I still have a faint demonic power. Go to hell!" He staggered towards the defenseless Yue Chan. This woman was too dangerous, so he intended to kill Yue Chan before escaping.
However, at this very moment, a force suddenly struck him from behind. In just an instant, Yun Fan's body was almost torn apart, flying backward and nearly falling into the abyss. Although with his physique, falling into the abyss would not be fatal, he smelled danger from below. This abyss was not simple; it was a death trap in the Seal Zen Land. Because this abyss was called the Soul Severing Cliff.
At this moment, he clung tightly to a vine, preventing himself from falling. Seeing this, Yue Chan praised, "Well done, push him down!"
Hun Chan, who had feigned death, did not act subserviently at this moment. Instead, he sneered at Yue Chan, "Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"How dare you speak to me in that tone? Are you tired of living?"
Yue Chan threatened. However, Hun Chan said, "Junior Sister, at this point, there's no need to threaten me!" "As long as you hand over my Dao heart, I will help you push him off the cliff!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Chan understood that Hun Chan was no longer under her control. Yun Fan, seeing this, mocked, "You've really gone too far this time! Serves you right!"
Yue Chan glared at him fiercely and then threatened Hun Chan, "If you go back on your word now, then pretend I never said anything!"
"Go back on my word?"
Hun Chan sneered, "Junior Sister, you are too naive. Do you really think I will be your dog forever? I was just waiting for an opportune moment to resist. As long as I get my Dao heart back, I will leave and no longer be under your control!"
"Dream on if you want to get your Dao heart back!"
Yue Chan said dismissively. She had no intention of handing over the Dao heart. Of course, Hun Chan's Dao heart was not with her.
"If that's the case, then Senior Brother can only kill you!"
Hun Chan smiled playfully. After being suppressed by Yue Chan for so many years, it was finally his turn to threaten Yue Chan, and he was overjoyed.
Yue Chan said, "The Dao heart is not with me. It is with my father. If you truly want the Dao heart, go get it from him! Not only your Dao heart but all the Zen disciples' Dao hearts are there, including mine!"
At these words, Hun Chan's expression changed. He truly did not sense his Dao heart on Yue Chan.
"Since it's not with Junior Sister, then I can only get it from Master!"
Hun Chan smiled playfully and struck Yue Chan down the Soul Severing Cliff with a palm. He knew that since he had come this far, Yue Chan would not let him go. Therefore, he had to get rid of Yue Chan. Then, he looked at Yun Fan again. Yun Fan already understood this fellow's intentions and immediately released his grip on the vine, falling as well. After all, even if he fell into this forbidden area, it was better than being killed by Hun Chan.
