Yu Fan narrowly dodged Ouyang Chu Ge's fatal attack, brushing past the sword. Although he escaped death, he was still wounded.
He clutched his wound, gasping for breath, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.
He now detested Ouyang Chu Ge, who had launched a sneak attack and, more shamelessly, had poisoned his dagger.
The poison was potent, capable of ignoring his physical defenses.
In just a short while, he felt his body tremble uncontrollably, as if plunged into an ice cave. A longing for warmth instantly invaded his mind.
At the same time, dark blood flowed from his nose, accompanied by a wave of dizziness.
Furthermore, with his magic power almost depleted and his body assailed by the potent toxin, he felt unsteady on his feet, like an inebriated old man.
Seeing Yu Fan's drowsy state, Su Xi shook her head and said seductively, "You must be feeling very sleepy right now. Why not just rest? Don't think about resisting anymore."
Yu Fan's lungs felt like they would explode upon hearing Su Xi's words.
Was he an idiot? If he closed his eyes now, would he ever have a chance to escape?
Su Xi's words were infuriating.
"Scram?!" Yu Fan mustered all his strength, spitting out curses.
Before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his presence began to fade.
Seeing Yu Fan cough up blood, Su Xi couldn't help but shake her head and continued to console him, "Don't rush. You won't die just yet. You'll have to wait a little longer."
"Bear with it. I believe you'll get through it soon."
Yu Fan's chest heaved with anger; he wished he could kill her on the spot.
He couldn't fathom how Su Xi could utter such infuriating words.
However, a fierce expression flickered across Yu Fan's face, filled with malice.
Even if he died here, he would never let Su Xi have an easy time. Besides, he wouldn't die so easily. This poison would injure him, but it wouldn't take his life.
Without hesitation, Yu Fan grabbed a handful of pills and shoved them into his mouth.
He didn't care what kind of pills they were, as long as they could provide him with energy. He didn't necessarily want to live, just to hold on a little longer.
The pills Yu Fan consumed were potent, causing a significant surge in his energy. In just a moment, he recovered and his cultivation continued to increase.
What was most important to him now was to kill these people.
Yu Fan looked at Su Xi and Ouyang Chu Ge with a triumphant grin. "Well, do you have any last words to say? Say them now."
Su Xi looked at the wildly inflating Yu Fan and shook her head helplessly.
Who gave him the confidence to become like this?
Arrogant words often lead to a slap in the face.
Didn't he know that at this moment, one should never act rashly? The more one speaks, the harder they will fall in the end.
As Yu Fan's inflation continued, Su Xi threw the Meteor God Sword above her head.
Immediately, she formed a series of hand seals, and the Meteor God Sword above her head split into two, transforming continuously. In moments, she was surrounded by countless densely packed flying swords.
With the summoning of the myriad flying swords, she began to relentlessly propel them towards Yu Fan.
The flying swords moved at extreme speed, creating thunderous sonic booms in the sky.
As a series of these booms echoed, they enveloped Yu Fan completely, leaving him no chance to escape.
Yu Fan, seeing the flying swords surrounding him, felt no fear. Instead, he spread his arms, indicating his indifference.
It was impossible for these flying swords to harm him.
His defense had evolved to another level, far surpassing ordinary individuals. His body was now as hard as a magical artifact, making these flying swords a non-issue.
These flying swords trying to hurt him were nothing more than a dream.
"Clang, clang!"
In just a moment, a series of metallic clashes rang out for all to hear.
Su Xi saw sparks fly, but the swords couldn't break through Yu Fan's defenses. Her expression grew solemn, and her breathing quickened.
This man was truly difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Su Xi's attacks were ineffective, Yu Fan sneered provocatively. "Since your attacks are useless, let me try."
With that, Yu Fan stomped his foot and charged towards Su Xi.
The momentum behind his charge was clearly aimed at a decisive victory, to eliminate Su Xi immediately.
His speed was so immense that the ground cracked beneath his feet, and the powerful recoil sent strong tremors.
Before Yu Fan even reached her, the immense impact nearly sent Su Xi flying, making it difficult for her to stand steady.
"Buzz~"
The impact was so severe that Su Xi felt her ears about to explode, her mind went blank, and she momentarily lost the ability to act.
"Die."
Yu Fan raised his fist and slammed it towards Su Xi.
"Boom."
With a sudden impact, Yu Fan's fist descended.
The sheer speed of its descent created a powerful sonic boom. If it hit, Su Xi, even with a body of steel, would be reduced to a bloody pulp.
Su Xi hadn't expected Yu Fan's speed to be so great and was caught off guard, directly hit.
"Thump!"
The violent collision instantly produced the sound of cracking bones within Su Xi. A pained expression appeared on her face.
At the same time, she was grateful that she had put on her armor, otherwise, she might not have survived.
Suffering from the pain, Su Xi retreated rapidly backward, while brandishing the Meteor God Sword as a shield in front of her.
Seeing this, Yu Fan smirked and began to repeatedly attack the shield.
He intended to overwhelm her with brute force, to shatter it with overwhelming power.
The shield formed by the Meteor God Sword could not withstand his onslaught for long, and with a mournful cry, it shattered into pieces on the ground.
With the boost from the medicinal pills, Yu Fan's cultivation had been fully unleashed. He was now two major realms above Su Xi, making him far beyond her ability to handle.
Moreover, this violent sensation brought him an indescribable exhilaration. He had quickly fallen in love with this feeling.
Su Xi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled at Yu Fan. "It seems the one who should be worried is not me, but you."
"???"
Yu Fan looked at Su Xi, confused by her words.
He could kill her with a single finger now, yet Su Xi claimed he needed to worry.
How inflated must she be to say something so preposterous?
Or was she so terrified that she had resorted to saying such shameless things?
Su Xi spat out more blood and said coldly, "Your current strength is indeed formidable, but how long can you sustain it?"
"When the time comes, I believe that even if I do nothing, you will become a useless husk."
Yu Fan's expression froze upon hearing Su Xi's words.
Such a forced increase in cultivation couldn't be sustained for long by anyone. He had initially believed that defeating Su Xi would mean victory.
But in his moment of hubris, he had completely forgotten the time limit. Now that Su Xi was unharmed, he didn't know what to do next.
Seeing the conflicted expression on Yu Fan's face, Su Xi burst into laughter.
She had seen through these tactics long ago and was not worried.
By the time he realized the situation was dire, Yu Fan was already done for.
Facing the current onslaught, Su Xi could sense Yu Fan's attack power beginning to wane from its peak. He wouldn't be able to last much longer.
Hearing Su Xi's words, Yu Fan also noticed the changes within his body. However, he quickly put on a cold smile and, looking at Su Xi, regained his former arrogance. "You think this will allow you to escape death? I can still kill you with ease."
With that, Yu Fan let out a roar and charged fiercely towards Su Xi.
His internal energy was depleting, so he had to seize the moment and kill Su Xi quickly. Otherwise, he might not be able to kill Su Xi and would find himself in danger.
Seeing Yu Fan charge towards her, Su Xi was not nervous.
Now that Yu Fan's strength had diminished, she was not as worried. Besides, she had Ouyang Chu Ge and Hei Shan Lao Yao by her side; she wasn't alone.
If they worked together, Yu Fan would be the one to lose in the end.
Responding to Su Xi's unspoken cue, Ouyang Chu Ge and Hei Shan Lao Yao attacked simultaneously.
They had been accumulating power for a long time, waiting for this very moment.
Yu Fan's attention was solely on Su Xi, and he completely failed to notice Ouyang Chu Ge and Hei Shan Lao Yao behind him.
Hei Shan Lao Yao and Ouyang Chu Ge joined forces, creating a powerful whirlwind that consumed everything around them and began to surge towards Su Xi.
They had prepared for this for a long time.
In this brief period, they had discovered Yu Fan's weakness.
Yu Fan was unaware that his weakness had been exposed. Feeling a sneak attack from behind, he remained unconcerned.
His current physical defense was so formidable that many magical artifacts would be ashamed, so he didn't need to exert himself.
Therefore, Yu Fan completely ignored the attacks from Ouyang Chu Ge and Hei Shan Lao Yao behind him and charged fiercely towards Su Xi.
At this moment, the most important thing for him was to eliminate the annoying Su Xi. As long as he killed Su Xi, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Ouyang Chu Ge and Hei Shan Lao Yao, seeing Yu Fan ignore them, felt a surge of frustration.
Although they hadn't been actively involved much, they didn't expect to be so insignificant.
In this situation, they could only prove their worth in their own way.
"Ding dong!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Yu Fan, who was just about to reach Su Xi, suddenly stopped.
He turned back, looking at Ouyang Chu Ge and Yu Fan in disbelief. What in the world were they doing?
Why were their attacks capable of breaching his defenses?
Even with his diminished strength, this was highly abnormal.
