Yu Fan was currently in the Tianxiang Tea House, preparing to vent his accumulated dissatisfaction.
During this period, the trouble caused by Su Xi had put him under a lot of pressure. Now, to maintain his family status, he certainly couldn't just let it go.
However, he was unaware that outside, the people he had arranged in advance had already been dealt with by another group. At this moment, there wasn't a single person left of those he had stationed around the Tianxiang Tea House.
The surroundings felt like they had fallen into a strange magnetic field, with not a sound emanating from anywhere.
In the sky, not a single bird flew by, as if this world had been completely isolated.
Seeing this, Li Jie knew that he couldn't maintain the blockade for too long. If this scene were witnessed by those with intentions, the Ministry of War would surely be in great trouble.
He stubbornly held his ground, focusing on the commotion within the tea house, trying to understand what was happening inside.
However, in order to minimize any external influence, Yu Fan had already blocked any outside scrutiny.
In other words, even if the Tianxiang Tea House were to collapse entirely, those outside would not know what had happened inside, nor would they be able to peer into the situation.
"I hope these two won't disappoint me." Li Jie sighed, then waved to the person beside him and instructed, "Go and report the situation here to the lord, stating that everything is proceeding according to plan."
"Yes."
Upon receiving Li Jie's order, the subordinate immediately turned and left.
With his subordinate gone, Li Jie continued to sit at the street entrance, preventing anyone from impudently entering and disrupting their arrangements.
Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly approached from a distance.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Jie raised his eyelids and warned, "This area has been sealed off by us. You should go elsewhere. If you barge in rashly, you could easily get hurt."
After saying this, he displayed his oppressive aura, intending to force the approaching person to retreat.
Facing Li Jie's aura, a child of about seven or eight years old showed no reaction. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his face as he asked lightly, "Are you threatening me?"
"Hmm?"
Sensing that the seven or eight-year-old child was unaffected by his aura, Li Jie immediately knew that this person was not simple.
He was definitely not as simple as a child, and his intentions were not good.
After all, for cultivators, changing one's appearance was not a difficult matter. Therefore, it was highly likely that the person who appeared to be a child was actually a very old demon.
Huo Yun Tongzi looked at Li Jie, pointed to his head, and said lightly, "My purpose for coming here today is for your head."
Hearing Huo Yun Tongzi's words, Li Jie did not feel that the other party was exaggerating. Instead, a grave expression appeared on his face, his muscles tensing, becoming rigid.
He knew that Huo Yun Tongzi was not joking and that there was a genuine possibility of this happening.
At this moment, Huo Yun Tongzi's strength was already sufficient.
"Who are you? You should know that I am..." Li Jie wanted to use his identity to deter Huo Yun Tongzi from attacking him.
If a fight were to break out here, it would surely be discovered by others, disrupting their plan.
Therefore, for his own safety, he had to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, the Ministry of War was one of the most important parts of the Great Xuan Empire, and it was filled with numerous experts. Even if Huo Yun Tongzi was powerful, he would certainly not be a match for so many masters.
Before Li Jie could finish speaking, Huo Yun Tongzi quickly covered his ears with his hands and spoke in a childish voice, "Don't say anymore. If you continue to speak, I might not dare to kill you."
"You!" Li Jie tried to retort but found himself frozen as if encased in ice, completely unable to move.
His cultivation had reached the Void Refinement stage, yet he was rendered immobile at a single glance, his very breath restricted.
"Who exactly are you?" Terror appeared on Li Jie's face as he looked at Huo Yun Tongzi in disbelief. He felt fear at what was about to happen next.
Who had sent such a powerful individual? They were definitely not ordinary people.
"You are a dead man. You don't need to know." Huo Yun Tongzi smiled, then lightly raised his chubby little hand towards the sky. Instantly, Li Jie felt his breathing tighten, and he could no longer inhale.
"Crack!"
With the sound of bone breaking, Li Jie instantly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
In fact, because of the speed of his death, his Nascent Soul didn't even have time to escape.
Huo Yun Tongzi picked up Li Jie's corpse from the ground and began to carry it away from the Tianxiang Tea House.
The corpse of a cultivator was a great tonic for him.
After taking away Li Jie's body, Huo Yun Tongzi glanced at the direction of the Tianxiang Tea House. Without a word, he turned and left.
To him, these matters were not worth his concern. He only needed to accomplish his own tasks, and the rest was none of his business.
Inside the Tianxiang Tea House, Su Xi was facing Yu Fan's fatal blow. Her figure instantly vanished.
With his target gone, Yu Fan's attack landed in empty space.
Seeing this, Yu Fan's face showed confusion, clearly having no idea what had happened.
Everything had seemed so normal.
Just then, Su Xi reappeared behind Yu Fan, a smile on her face.
"Soul Ferry." Su Xi shouted, then unleashed the content of the Heavenly Talisman.
"Weng~~~"
Following Su Xi's movement, a black ripple instantly enveloped Yu Fan.
Immediately after, the Spirit Cat was also released by Su Xi.
With the Spirit Cat's meow, the hypnotic effect became even stronger.
Yu Fan, struck by the attack, became groggy, and the spirit and soul within his body began to be gradually extracted.
Just as Yu Fan's spirit and soul were about to be pulled out, a white light suddenly erupted from Yu Fan, counteracting Su Xi's black light.
Seeing this, Su Xi felt a sense of helplessness.
Yu Fan had too many treasures on him, possessing such a good item. It seemed unlikely that he could be killed.
If he didn't have a life-saving item today, no one could save him.
After being illuminated by the white light, Yu Fan instantly woke up.
He had realized that he had almost lost his life just now. The thought of being so close to death sent shivers down his spine.
"I will kill you both." Enraged, he no longer bothered to hide his strength and abruptly increased his magical power output.
"Sky-Flipping Seal!"
"God-Beating Whip!"
"Map of Mountains and Rivers!"
...
In one breath, Yu Fan produced seven or eight treasures, each of them a top-tier Heavenly grade artifact with immense power.
At this moment, Yu Fan was prepared to use his treasures to suppress everything.
Seeing this, Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge showed expressions of great helplessness.
Why hadn't they been born into a good family? Otherwise, they wouldn't be in this situation. They could have simply used their magical artifacts to crush people to death.
Facing such a barrage of attacks, Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge dared not engage directly and could only temporarily retreat.
After all, activating so many magical artifacts required a significant amount of magical power. Even with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, Yu Fan would certainly not be able to sustain it for long.
Indeed, Yu Fan's series of attacks, though imposing and immensely powerful, consumed a great deal of his magical power.
In just this short period, his magical power was nearly depleted.
His complexion was pale, and he was panting heavily, his face filled with resentment.
Why couldn't his attacks defeat them?
If his attacks had landed on Su Xi, they would have utterly destroyed her, leaving no chance for survival.
However, the surprise on his face quickly turned into confusion.
Why, after such a long time, was Su Xi still so lively?
Seeing this, Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge emerged.
"How is it, do you still have any strength left?"
Now, with the help of the formation, they were in an invincible position and had no fear of Yu Fan.
If they couldn't win, they could escape.
"Who exactly are you?" Yu Fan's eyes widened as he looked at Su Xi, intending to seize the opportunity to catch his breath and recover some strength.
At this moment, he had plenty of magical treasures on him.
As long as he had time, his recovery of magical power would be like a quick charge.
Five minutes of charging, and he would soon regain his strength.
Hearing Yu Fan's thoughts, Su Xi instantly understood what he was planning.
Of course, she wouldn't let him succeed.
Did these people take her for a fool?
Having finally depleted Yu Fan's magical power, she certainly wouldn't let him go so easily and wait for him to recover.
Seeing through Yu Fan's intentions, Su Xi let out a cold snort, "If you want to stall for time, I can give you this opportunity, but I don't know if you will cherish it."
"???"
Yu Fan had been slightly nervous when he first heard Su Xi sense his intentions. However, upon realizing that Su Xi had no problem, he became utterly bewildered.
Was this person a fool?
Giving him an opportunity to recover?
Hearing Yu Fan's mockery, Su Xi's expression remained unchanged. She merely smiled coldly.
She was not a bodhisattva, saving all beings.
What she had said just now was merely to confuse Yu Fan.
Just as Yu Fan was about to seize the moment to recover, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind.
At some unknown time, Ouyang Chu Ge had appeared behind him with a dagger, stealthily aiming for his heart.
"Damn it."
Cursing loudly, Yu Fan hurriedly dodged to the side.
Although Yu Fan had exerted all his strength, Ouyang Chu Ge's sneak attack was not without its reputation.
In this brief moment, he had still managed to inflict a wound on his body.
Seeing the blood flowing, Yu Fan became even more enraged, "I will kill you both."
This person had repeatedly challenged his limits. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would think he was afraid of them.
With this thought, Yu Fan promptly swallowed a red pill.
This was a Blood Replenishing Pill, made from hundreds of rare medicinal ingredients. After consuming it, although he would be weakened for a long time, it could rapidly restore his magical power in a short period.
At this point, Yu Fan had truly ignited his fury and no longer cared about these issues.
Once he killed Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge, he would deal with the consequences.
