"What are you doing?"
Yin Si's face was grim. "I'm here to help you, setting aside past grievances. If you don't appreciate it, fine, but to attack me?"
"No, no, no,"
Chen Fan shook his head. "This matter is within the jurisdiction of your Seventh Land. I am the one here to help you."
"Moreover, the main targets of the gravity domain are Gu Yu and An Zhu. Rest assured... we will join forces to suppress them."
With that, he turned to the Yun Hai Dao Master beside him and said, "Senior, please set up a Heavenly Mechanism Grand Array. We will join forces to suppress these two."
"...Alright."
Yun Hai agreed.
In truth, a better option would have been for the two of them to charge into the Yin Si Purgatory.
Under the suppression of the Yin Si Purgatory, their combined strength would have had a good chance of killing Gu Yu and An Zhu within it.
At least one of them could have been killed.
But Chen Fan refused to enter, indicating he did not trust Yin Si.
Since that was the case, he wouldn't force the issue.
Yin Si's appearance was indeed somewhat sudden, or rather... his method of intervention was abrupt.
*Buzz.*
The Yun Hai Dao Master began setting up the Heavenly Mechanism Grand Array.
As the clouds and mist began to form, the Yin Si Grand Array instantly collapsed, and An Zhu and Gu Yu walked out calmly.
This scene caused Yun Hai Dao Master's expression to change drastically.
The situation before him clearly indicated the problem.
"Yin Si."
Yun Hai Dao Master looked at Yin Si Dao Master with a grim expression. "You are indeed a traitor."
"Alas."
Yin Si Dao Master sighed with disappointment. "I wish to know, why didn't you just go in?"
He was truly puzzled.
The people from the Sixth Land had come to support them, yet he had endured until now.
He had thought he could kill Chen Fan and the other one here in one fell swoop, but Chen Fan had consistently refused to enter.
This had foiled all his carefully laid plans.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan sneered. "We simply didn't trust you."
Yes.
From beginning to end, he had never trusted the other party.
No matter how well they hid themselves, he wouldn't trust them.
"Just that?" Yin Si Dao Master retorted.
"Precisely."
Chen Fan nodded. "It's that simple, I just didn't trust you.
Furthermore, don't you find your appearance rather sudden? An Zhu summoned you, and you emerged only to trap An Zhu and Gu Yu in return. Did he no longer wish to live, summoning you to kill himself?"
Yin Si: "..."
Of course, the latter part of these words was secondary. Chen Fan's suspicion was the primary reason he refused to enter the Yin Si Purgatory.
"Why waste words with him?" Gu Yu's face was unsightly.
An Zhu was also extremely displeased.
In this battle, An Zhu's refined puppets were lost, Gu Yu's White Bone Mountain had crumbled, and the true body of Fusang Dao Master had been killed.
The losses were too great; they had to be recouped.
Yin Si Dao Master sighed. "I intended to continue hiding, but since you insist on forcing my hand, it seems I have no choice but to act."
*Buzz.*
The Yin Si Purgatory enveloped the area.
Even with the gravity domain of the Gravity Orb suppressing it, Yin Si's domain advanced slowly, and immense pressure still loomed over the two.
"Hoo."
Chen Fan exhaled.
Beside him, Yun Hai Dao Master's face was grim.
This was dangerous.
"Afraid?"
Chen Fan suddenly spoke. Though he didn't look at Yun Hai Dao Master, the latter knew the question was directed at him.
"Afraid?"
Yun Hai Dao Master was startled and gave a cold laugh. "What is there to be afraid of? It's just a pity... that we won't be able to kill An Zhu here."
"I don't think so."
Chen Fan's gaze remained resolute as he said, "Can you hold off Gu Yu and An Zhu for a moment? Not for long, just one minute..."
"Hmm?"
Yun Hai Dao Master looked at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with astonishment.
He understood Chen Fan's intention; this person was planning to kill Yin Si in one minute.
"Can you do it?" Chen Fan asked again.
"..."
Yun Hai's expression was solemn. "Although I don't know what confidence you have, since you said it, I will stop the two of them. Is that sufficient?"
*Boom.*
As soon as he spoke, a second avatar arrived from behind.
A confident smile appeared. "Let alone one minute, even a day is not a problem."
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded. "Then... let's begin."
"Kill."
Yun Hai's two avatars moved instantly.
As one entity, they attacked Gu Yu and An Zhu.
This scene stunned all three of the opposing side.
"Hmm?"
Yin Si Dao Master looked at Chen Fan in disbelief. "You... want to fight me yourself?"
After all, Chen Fan didn't have the Dragon King by his side now.
"Very well."
Yin Si Dao Master shrugged helplessly. "Since you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish."
He was a veteran ninth-tier cultivator.
While he admitted Chen Fan's combat power was formidable, capable of fighting against ninth-tier opponents, that was only against ordinary ninth-tiers.
In the face of an inherent ninth-tier, no matter how strong Chen Fan was, he was confident that Chen Fan was no match for him.
He could even... completely kill any eighth-tier cultivator.
"Heh."
Chen Fan said nothing, merely chuckled.
*Boom!*
The gravity domain pressed down instantly.
Immense pressure bore down on every part of Yin Si Dao Master's body, causing his internal organs to shatter.
However, Yin Si Dao Master didn't care at all.
Such minor injuries had no effect on a ninth-tier cultivator.
"Come out."
Chen Fan shouted.
A shadow materialized, and the Golden Thread Cicada Robe retreated from his body, sealing the heavens and locking the earth.
He snapped his fingers. "Gather."
The sky-obscuring Golden Thread Cicada Robe rapidly shrank, instantly trapping Yin Si Dao Master in a confined space.
"Hmm?"
Yin Si Dao Master frowned.
A strong sense of unease suddenly surfaced in his heart, but it quickly vanished.
He didn't see that the Dragon Pattern Compass had already obscured the heavenly secrets, masking Yin Si Dao Master's premonition of danger.
*Chit.*
A silver light flashed.
Chen Fan vanished, his spatial boots tearing through space, instantly appearing before Yin Si Dao Master.
Yin Si Dao Master, his face grim, revealed a cruel smile in his eyes. "To dare get this close, you are seeking death."
"Are you sure?"
Chen Fan smiled.
Above his head, the Celestial Crown appeared. "Still."
The cruel smile froze on his face. Yin Si Dao Master's Great Dao and his very thoughts were all frozen.
*Buzz.*
The Dragon Pattern Compass reappeared.
Under the heavenly secrets, threads representing fate appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.
The needle spun, instantly pointing to Yin Si Dao Master's weak spot.
"Roar."
A ferocious lion's roar.
The Dao Spirit of Life and Death materialized and plunged into the Heavenly Cloud Sword.
The Dao Spirits of Five Elements, Light and Darkness, Wind and Thunder... Four Great Dao Spirits simultaneously entered the Heavenly Cloud Sword.
*Bang.*
Within Chen Fan's body, his Great Dao instantly collapsed, transforming into a black hole that swept all Great Dao power into the sword.
A peak strike, a strike never before seen.
*Poof.*
The long sword stabbed out gently, effortlessly piercing Yin Si Dao Master's heart.
Guided by the Dragon Pattern Compass, his heart... was Yin Si Dao Master's fatal point.
...
*Boom!*
A deafening sound instantly drew the attention of Yun Hai, Gu Yu, and An Zhu.
In their sight, an immense river of rules appeared, with ethereal energy piercing through heaven and earth.
The river was collapsing.
Yin Si Dao Master's ephemeral Great Dao form opened his eyes within the river.
His eyes were filled with confusion. "What happened?"
*Bang.*
As soon as he spoke, the river completely shattered.
