Chapter 73 Skilled to the Point of Distress

Zi Yun Zhenren instantly arrived at the most accurate conclusion!

Her precious disciple had finally made a move!

This explained everything that had just happened!

Thinking this, Zi Yun Zhenren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That brat, playing heart-stopping games with his master, was truly wicked!

But as a noble immortal fairy, his master would forgive him this once!

However, he would still be punished later.

At least five meals... no, ten delicious meals!

Just as Zi Yun was contemplating what delicious food to have, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind again.

Before, when Ye Fan roamed around the sect, she had simply assumed her precious disciple was cultivating under the guise of being lazy.

Now, it seemed there was another layer of meaning!

It was clear that her precious disciple's roaming was a pretense; the real goal was to upgrade the sect's protective formation!

Thinking of this, Zi Yun Zhenren's heart warmed.

This wicked disciple, truly...

Why be so low-key all the time...

"Sect Master?" the other elders called out softly.

Zi Yun Zhenren turned around, their eyes meeting.

The elders' gazes questioned: Sect Master, could it be that all of this is...

Zi Yun gave a confident nod: Yes, it's exactly as you think!

Everyone suddenly looked enlightened!

It was indeed Ye Fan who had made his move!

At this moment, everyone was finally completely at ease.

Although they had previously speculated that Ye Fan might have reached the Nascent Soul stage, it was still just speculation.

No one could be certain of Ye Fan's true strength.

Now that Ye Fan had acted, there was basically no suspense left.

They had absolute trust in Ye Fan.

It was almost to the point of being blind.

Although they never said it out loud, they already regarded Ye Fan as a senior expert.

With Ye Fan here, there was peace of mind!

In mid-air.

The old man frowned slightly.

No wonder the other party had been so confident, they truly had a backup plan!

However, he was not worried.

The fact that his attack hadn't shattered it indicated that the formation's level was indeed not low.

This confirmed his earlier guess – Hu Wa had indeed been killed by external forces.

This was a good thing.

At least it proved there was no cultivator beyond his realm among them.

Otherwise, he would have been blasted away with a single palm by now!

He admitted that the formation was indeed much more powerful than before, but in his eyes, it was still not a problem.

Although his previous attack seemed not to have damaged the formation, it had actually caused damage.

This was a subtle feeling, one that only the attacker could perceive.

If it could penetrate the defense, then it was manageable!

A formation, after all, was an inanimate object, and its defense had a limit.

As long as he continued to attack, the turtle shell would eventually break!

Whether he broke the formation himself or depleted its energy, once the turtle shell was gone, where would they hide then!

The old man furiously circulated his true qi again, launching attacks one after another!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

...

Although they felt that Ye Fan's move would surely resolve the issue, Zi Yun and the others were still somewhat nervous.

But as time passed, they found that there seemed to be nothing to worry about.

Zi Yun Zhenren felt that continuing to watch would make her look foolish.

Perhaps she should just go back?

But then again, it didn't seem appropriate.

The senior outside was attacking so diligently; it would be impolite for them not to stay and watch his performance.

The Zi Yun Sect was a very polite sect, and she couldn't set a bad example by breaking that tradition.

So, Zi Yun Zhenren took out a table and a small stool from her spatial ring.

Then, to the stunned expressions of the other elders, she produced a large watermelon...

Half an hour later.

"Crash!"

With the old man's renewed attack, the sect's protective formation finally shattered into pieces again!

The old man slowly retracted his hand, calming his surging true qi.

Honestly, he was quite surprised.

This formation had withstood his onslaught for half an hour, its defensive capabilities were truly remarkable.

He hadn't expected such a powerful formation to be possessed by such a small, insignificant sect!

Perhaps the sect had been glorious in the past, and this formation was a relic from that era.

But now, none of that mattered!

The old man slowly lowered his head, looking towards the ground.

With such a powerful formation, the other party could absolutely not have a second one.

Their greatest trump card had now been destroyed by him, and their expressions must be priceless!

Hmph!

These weaklings were all the same.

They always thought they could contend with the strong.

But every time their so-called trump cards were destroyed by the strong, they would reveal expressions of terrified awe towards the strong.

Unfortunately, this time, no matter how much you beg for mercy, I will not spare you!

Then the old man saw that the so-called weaklings he had envisioned were sitting in a row at small tables.

In each of their hands, they held half-eaten watermelons...

The old man was a bit confused?

Something was wrong?

Now that he had shattered their formation, shouldn't they be kneeling and begging for mercy in terror?

Even if they weren't afraid, why were they eating watermelons?

"Senior, the watermelon is very sweet, would you like a piece?" Zi Yun Zhenren stood up and offered a piece of watermelon.

The old man stumbled, nearly falling to the ground.

Are you serious?

Now that your turtle shell has been broken by me, the next to break will be you!

I am a Void Refining realm expert, and eliminating you Nascent Soul realm trash is easier than crushing ants!

Aren't you afraid at all?

Damn it!

Are you all mentally challenged?!

"I'll leave the watermelon here. Feel free to take it whenever you want to eat," Zi Yun Zhenren said, seeing the old man remain silent.

"Oh, right."

Just as she was about to sit down, Zi Yun Zhenren suddenly remembered something and clenched her fist, raising her right arm towards the old man in the air.

"Senior, keep it up!"

The old man was utterly enraged!

The wrath of a Void Refining realm expert was truly terrifying.

Only the blood of ants could quell this rage!

The true qi within the old man surged madly again!

The fierce winds and oppressive aura generated were several times stronger than before.

Even Zi Yun Zhenren's tables, chairs, and watermelons were blown away!

It was clear that he was preparing another ultimate move.

And this time, it was a super ultimate move after a power-up!

Zi Yun Zhenren's expression immediately changed!

Really!

If you don't want to eat, you don't have to, but you don't need to knock everything over!

This old man is so impolite!

Xian Yu Peak.

[The sect's protective formation has reached its reinforcement limit. Further reinforcement will cause the formation to be unable to bear the load and be completely scrapped!]

The gentle breeze on the peak was comfortable, and Ye Fan was already asleep.

[What I mean is that you're screwed! Can't you react at all?!]

Ye Fan seemed to be dreaming of something good, a faint smile appearing on his face.

[Host... You're an idiot! Forget it, I don't care anymore!]

[Terminating formation reinforcement and changing the formation's effect to perfect damage reflection!]

The system's series of actions were swift and smooth!

So practiced, it was almost heartbreaking...

At the sect entrance.

The old man's amplified ultimate move was fully charged!

"Die all of you!" the old man roared and pushed the ultimate move forward with both hands.

This time, the ultimate move was even more terrifying than before!

The vortex generated created a suction force that caused the very architecture of the sect gate to shake!

Suddenly, the protective shield of the sect formation reappeared!

Unlike before, this time a faint golden light emerged on the shield.

Zi Yun Zhenren and the elders narrowed their eyes slightly.

Before, when Ye Fan had acted, there had been no discernible movement.

Now, the formation suddenly emitted golden light...

Good heavens!

He's unleashing a major move!

Thinking this, they cast a sympathetic glance at the old man.

And casually took out a new watermelon...

The old man's gaze turned ferocious.

This was his strongest attack!

He hadn't used it before because he didn't want to use it easily.

After all, using this move would leave him weakened for half a month.

But now, he couldn't care less!

The dignity of a strong expert could not be challenged, these people must die!

The vortex fiercely collided with the shield.

Nothing happened...

The old man's expression gradually froze...

Why?

This shouldn't be happening?

This isn't how cultivation works?

Just as his mind was filled with questions, he suddenly, in terror, realized that the vortex attack was turning back!

His strongest killing blow was rapidly flying towards him!
