Chapter Thirteen: The Final Battle at Tianque

  Tian Qu's sword is not drawn for nothing.

  Zhang Yu Fan naturally knew that Lu Xue Qi would either not make a move, or if she did, he would have difficulty defending himself. A cold sword aura suddenly burst forth from the blue mangroves beside him, and Li Xun, although hateful, didn't want his life, just wanted to teach him a lesson. He had intended to withdraw his hand, but this "Stellar Devouring Technique" was an extremely sinister martial art that absorbed others' vital energy to nourish one's own. However, he couldn't possibly use it on Lu Xue Qi.

  Tianyao was close at hand, Zhang Yu Fan had just finished collecting the Gong Fa, and his feet quickly changed as he made a swift move with Lingbo Weibu, rapidly avoiding Lu Xue Qi Tianyao.

  "Ah——" Li Xun collapsed to the ground and Yan Hong sat beside him, Zhang Yu Fan had just collected his Gong Fa and also returned a lot of his vital energy. The appearance of the two people did not change much, but their internal spiritual power was almost depleted, they didn't even have the strength to stand up. On the other hand, Yan Hong's time was shorter, so she wasn't hurt as badly, she struggled to support Li Xun and retreated backwards, Fa Shan also came forward to help.

  Fa Xiang glanced at him and said, "Brother Li, are you alright?"

  Li Xun loudly scolded in a low voice: "This Ghostly Evil, this demonic cult's witch, doesn't know where he learned this evil technique of sucking people's essence and blood. Without using the Soul Devouring Technique, his physical strength is actually even stronger!"

  Everyone just saw what happened, and "Gui Li" just used a very powerful and strange technique. However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that Zhang Yu Fan still showed mercy at the critical moment and stopped absorbing his energy in time; otherwise, Li Xun would not be able to stand now.

  Fashang didn't say anything, he just softly chanted Buddha's name.

  "Tianyue's sword is indeed formidable!" Zhang Yufan dodged and observed Lu Xueqi, with waves of blue light rising higher and higher around him. His swordsmanship was exquisite but far from being as ruthless and deadly as Li Xun's, and his frost-like face seemed even more melancholic than when they last met at the Wangyuetai.

  "Die, you evil cultist!" Tianyue thrust her sword straight at Zhang Yufan's throat. Although it seemed ruthless, Zhang Yufan deeply felt that she was weak when facing him, not for any other reason but because of this face. Could her sword really pierce through? The tip of the sword had unknowingly slowed down by half.

  Zhang Yu Fan could have countered this move with just "Ling Xi Yi Zhi", but firstly, he was still recovering from his internal injuries. Secondly, even if he really managed to snatch away Lu Xue Qi's Tian Zhuang, how would she be able to show her face again? Although his strength far exceeded what others had imagined, he still chose to hold back a little, so that when the time came, he could catch them off guard. As he thought this, he only dodged and weaved, but Lu Xue Qi's pale face kept flashing before his eyes, so ethereal and otherworldly. He was repeatedly enchanted by her, going crazy for her sake, but her haggard appearance would have pained anyone who saw it.

  "Lu Niang, are you still worried about Xiao Fan!" Zhang YuFan said with a burst of courage, the two of them in the strong wind only Lu Xueqi could hear this voice.

  Lu Xueqi was shocked, thinking that she had inexplicably fallen into this person's arms. She had mustered up the courage to confess her feelings, but it seemed she was wrong. Feeling ashamed and humiliated, yet her face showed no unusual expression. Her hand holding Tian Hui tightened, signaling him to keep quiet.

  Lu Xueqi's charm is undeniable, but Zhang Yufan has secretly been infatuated with her for a long time, hoping to one day meet a girl just like her. The subtlety of this situation is self-evident, but who would want to see the person they love being arrogant day and night?

  "You don't have to worry about Xiao Fan, he didn't come this time to the Venomous Snake Valley!" As soon as Zhang YuFan said that, Lu XueQi felt a few parts of surprise in her heart, and asked: "How did you know, why should I believe you?"

  Zhang Yu Fan was stunned, and he couldn't tell him that it was written in "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation", who would believe that? Tian Zhuo's Heavenly Thunderbolt was not something that could be withstood by Jin Da Jiang's secret martial arts manual. With a swift movement, Zhang Yu Fan dodged the incoming attack from Tian Zhuo and shouted: "Believe it or not, I am Zhang Da Fan!"

  Lu Xueqi's sudden attack stopped, no longer advancing with a single move or style, looking at this face in confusion.

  Zhang Yu Fan knew he didn't believe it and added, "It's not just him, most of the powerful people in Gui Wang Zong haven't entered Snake Valley, but are waiting for orders on Hu Qi Mountain."

  Who knew that Zhang Yufan didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Lu Xueqi struck with her sword. He hastily dodged and narrowly avoided being split in two.

  "Miss Lu, I'm going to be honest with you, why are you treating me like this?" Zhang Yufan asked loudly, not understanding.

  Lu Xueqi's expression remained cold, and she said, "The Demon Sect is cunning, what you say can't be true, you just want to deceive me into sparing your life, accept your death!" As soon as she finished speaking, the sword in her hand became even more sharp and deadly, and it was clear that she really intended to kill him.

  Zhang Yufan slammed his head twice and scolded: "What kind of world is this, who wants to split me, I offended who!"

  Jin Ping'er and Lin Jingyu were fighting fiercely, with neither gaining the upper hand. Although Lin's strength was slightly inferior, his Dragon-Slaying Sword was bold and fierce, seemingly leaving no room for retreat, but actually using offense as defense, with a hidden plan. However, the current situation was seven against two, and each of them had profound skills and abilities that should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the other three people who were self-righteous and relied on their numbers to win, the two of them would have been killed on the spot long ago. Even if Jin Ping'er defeated Lin Jingyu and managed to defeat Lu Xueqi by luck, after exhausting her strength, who could still win against Fa Xiang, Fa Shan, and Xiao Yicai, known as a peerless genius?

  Zhang Yufan glanced at Jin Ping'er, this girl was still fighting for her own sake, but if she didn't take advantage of her physical strength to escape now, soon she wouldn't even have the energy to walk. Although Qingyun might not kill her because they shared a common enemy in Gui Li, what about Fa Xiang? And Li Xun?

  Lu Xueqi was beautiful, and infatuated with Gui Li, but after all, she was still an imposter. Even if she had a crush on him, her life was more important, so she quickly followed Tian Zhuo as he brushed past, Zhang Yu Fan dodged to the side, shouting "Miao Miao, hurry up!" and reached out to grab Jin Ping'er's collar.

  Jin Bier was startled, if not for being entangled with Lin Xingyu and unable to extricate herself, in this situation anyone who approached her would be cut down by a single knife. Just as the sound arrived, she knew that Zhang Yufan, although a rascal, had no intention of harming people. As Zhang Yufan pulled her backwards, his toes touching the ground, in an instant, Lingbo Weibu's light steps had already brought the two of them to the large white boulder on the mountain ridge.

  "We can't stay here for long!" Without Zhang Yu Fan saying more, Jin Ping Er already knew that with two against seven they would definitely lose. However, he glanced at the corpse of the person under the Ling Tang and it was his benevolent teacher who was even more important than his mother. Could he really let them be exposed to the wilderness like this?

  Watching Lu Xueqi and Lin Jingyu draw their swords to chase after them, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!" Zhang Yufan was momentarily flustered and wouldn't think of this layer, complaining in a low voice as he pulled Jin Ping'er along. Although Jin Ping'er felt some reluctance, she had no other choice at the moment, hoping that these seven people wouldn't do anything to someone who was already dead. With a determined heart, she followed Zhang Yufan and left.

  "What's going on?" Lu Xueqi gazed at the two figures ahead, suddenly feeling a sense of inexplicable unease. She thought to herself that this Zhang Dafan must be a demonic cultivator from the Devil Sect, likely from the Huanhuan branch, or else he wouldn't have addressed Jinping'er in such a way. But did someone like that really exist within the Devil Sect's Huanhuan branch? Someone who, just like Xiaofan, simultaneously cultivated Buddhism, Taoism, and devilry? The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. She urged her feet to move swiftly, chasing after them with a speed as swift as the wind. Lin Jingyu closely followed behind her.

  There were also some doubts in the heart of Fa Xiang, and after glancing at Xiao Yi, he said: "Xiao Shixiong, it's a bit troublesome to ask you to take care of the two fellow disciples from Fengxiang Valley. This place is treacherous, if we don't leave behind two people with deep attainments to take care of it, it wouldn't be appropriate!"

  Xiao Yizai naturally understood the polite implication of Fa Xiang's words and said, "I'm a person who doesn't care much about fame and fortune. As long as I can contribute my share to the world, that's enough!" He was even more profound in his words, actually linking himself with the fate of the world.

  Fang Xiang said: "Fashan, you'd better stay too!"

  "It's Shifu!"

  The Dharmakaya of the Buddha of the Wheel-turning Pearl emerged with a loud whoosh, and in the blink of an eye, they left the Valley of Venomous Snakes.

  The sky is as clean as a piece of blue jade, like being in a fantasy world, it's called the usual natural but has another kind of interest.

  Lingbo's swift steps were no match for the extremely fast and unbridled movement, starting with Zhang Yu Fan pulling Jin Ping'er, but later Jin Ping'er turned around and grabbed him, and the purple mang blade flew quickly.

  Although Tianyue was extremely fast, Lu Xueqi's cultivation level was not low either. However, the speed of flight still depends on the properties of the magical artifact and the owner's usual cultivation method. Jinping'er was naturally clever and acted extremely mysteriously, and his cultivation method was also skilled in speed. Now that he had made great progress in his cultivation, if it weren't for the intense battle with Lin Jingyu earlier and the addition of Zhang Yufan, it would be very difficult for anyone to catch up to him!

  A purple mane galloped alone, followed closely by three magnificent manes of blue, green and gold, racing to the top of a great mountain range of 100,000 peaks, just about to catch up with three people.

  "Leave me behind and go on your own, or else both of us will die when they catch up!" Zhang Yufan said slowly, his words surprisingly laced with a hint of despair.

  Jin Bier didn't turn his head back, but from the whistling wind sound, he already knew that three powerful opponents had caught up, and a hint of abnormality flashed in his eyes.

  "Leave me and go by yourself!" Zhang Yufan repeated what he said earlier.

  Jin Bao'er initially pretended not to have heard, but later she chuckled and said: "Can't you call me Miao Miao again?"

  Zhang Yu Fan was stunned, and didn't know what this woman was thinking, he just said: "I've always called you Miao Miao, Miao Miao Miao Miao... as long as I'm alive, even if you put a knife to my throat, I'll still call you Miao Miao!"

  Jin Ping'er smiled, looking very pleased. In this world, only San Miao's wife and Zhang Yu Fan had ever called her that way before. But amidst the joy, she felt a tinge of disappointment. If that person could also call her like that, it would be even better!

  Zhang Yufan was still in a daze when he suddenly felt himself become lighter, and the woman actually let go of him. He shouted at the rapidly disappearing Jin Pinger: "You dead woman, you really are going to lose!"

  A golden bottle's seductive laughter came from mid-air and instantly disappeared beside Zhang Yu Fan's ears.

  Zhang Yufan was shocked, scolding in his heart a thousand times, but it didn't help. The wind whistled by his ears, and he let out a long sigh: "Just wait to be smashed into a meat pie!"
