In the battlefield, the Evil Lord turned his head and looked towards the Thousand Silk Dao Master.
Within his supremely evil pupils, a chilling malevolence flashed.
This gaze was directed at Qian Si.
The relationship between them had long been one of life and death.
"Hmph."
The next moment, the Evil Lord averted his gaze.
It was unavoidable; at this moment, he did not wish to die. Even though he knew Qian Si harbored killing intent towards him, he could only endure.
He had no trump cards left.
Therefore, as his gaze fell upon Chen Fan and the other two, a sinister evil emanated, chilling the bone.
"Very well."
The Evil Lord's voice was cold and unwavering.
Merely his voice sent shivers through Chen Fan and the other two from the inside out.
Killing intent surged.
The Evil Lord was enraged as never before.
Never.
The situation just now had been perilous, and he had been forced to use his last resort.
A life for a life.
"Jie jie."
The arc of his lips widened slowly, his teeth, uneven, stretching to his ears, resembling a ferocious ghost.
Boom.
The surging poisonous gas filled the heavens and earth.
He was truly enraged.
"You shall all die."
Boom.
A torrent of poisonous gas enveloped the world.
"Open."
The sword's hum shook the heavens.
Chen Fan and the Sword Master drew their swords simultaneously.
The invincible sword light once again cleaved through the boundless poisonous gas.
However, the poison gas this time was too dense, so dense that it obscured vision. The gap that had just been split closed instantly.
"Yin-Yang Transformation Shield."
Unable to break free, they could only defend.
The Yin-Yang Dao Master conjured the Yin-Yang Shield, protecting the three of them within.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
The poisonous gas eroded the Yin-Yang Dao, and the power of the Great Dao was consumed at an alarming rate.
"This cannot continue."
The Yin-Yang Dao Master's expression turned grim, "I can only hold on for another ten minutes at most."
Passive defense, the situation was dire.
Chen Fan looked at the Sword Master, "You and I, let's break through together."
"Alright."
They had to break out.
Ching, ching.
The two of them combined their swordsmanship, and streaks of sword light tore through the boundless poisonous gas.
The two, fighting with all their might, were like demon gods of destruction, shattering the poison gas domain. Yet, no matter how much poisonous gas they cleaved, more would surge forth, engulfing them once more.
Boom.
The Yin-Yang domain crashed through the poison gas domain.
But no matter how far they traveled, they could not escape the confines of the poison gas domain.
"Ugh."
The Yin-Yang Dao Master suddenly grunted.
"What's wrong?" The two of them turned abruptly.
They saw that a faint hint of green had appeared on the Yin-Yang Dao Master's face.
"Poison."
She said, "My Great Dao is poisoned."
Even the Great Dao could be poisoned.
"This is bad."
All three of them now understood the gravity and seriousness of the situation.
This poison was too potent.
It could poison even the Great Dao, causing it to wither.
"What should we do?" For a moment, they were at a loss.
"..."
Chen Fan frowned.
He was contemplating what method could be used to escape.
If they couldn't get out, they would only wait for death.
"We can only take a gamble." Chen Fan spoke.
"You have a way?" Hope flickered in the Sword Master's eyes.
Ping Xi felt the same.
In this moment of crisis, having a solution was enough.
"I dare not guarantee success." he said.
"It's alright."
The Sword Master comforted him, "There's no other way anyway. Rather than waiting to die here, let's try our luck."
The Yin-Yang Dao Master nodded, she felt the same.
She was already deeply poisoned, her Great Dao on the verge of collapse.
"Good."
Seeing that both of them supported him, Chen Fan wasted no more words.
He directly said, "Fellow Daoist Ping Xi, please hold on for a moment longer. Sword Master... I need you to clear the path for me, and I will guide the way..."
"No problem."
Hum.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Dragon-Patterned Compass appeared before Chen Fan.
Since it had previously warned Chen Fan of the danger, the Dragon-Patterned Compass had fallen silent.
It had been quiet for a long time.
"Rise."
Injecting the power of his Great Dao into the Dragon-Patterned Compass, the pointer spun madly.
Within the poison domain, there was no sense of space or direction.
Ding.
The pointer stopped.
"Act." Chen Fan commanded instantly.
Chih.
Without hesitation, the Sword Master led Chen Fan out of the Yin-Yang domain.
With a single sword strike, the poisonous gas parted.
Swish.
The two figures rapidly disappeared from their original positions. In the blink of an eye, the poisonous gas closed in again, leaving Ping Xi alone to hold the line.
In her eyes, a hint of worry appeared.
This emotion should not have appeared in Ping Xi.
But now, it did.
Who would wish for death if they could live?
...
Chih.
Sword light paved the way.
Guided by the Dragon-Patterned Compass, Chen Fan repeatedly changed direction.
All along the way, the Sword Master was the one who attacked.
And he, in turn, continued to supply power.
"Left."
"Right."
"Turn around..."
The Evil Lord seemed not to be standing still in one place.
Thus, Chen Fan had to repeatedly change direction.
After more than ten turns, the Evil Lord finally stopped moving.
"Slash."
Chen Fan shouted again.
He could sense it; the Evil Lord was right ahead.
The Sword Master felt the same.
"Go."
The Chaos Sword was drawn, its strongest strike.
Boom.
The poisonous gas churned wildly.
The domain was torn open, revealing a figure obscured by the poisonous gas.
"Interesting."
As their eyes met, a cruel smile spread across the Evil Lord's face.
"Waaah."
The moment he spoke, the Sword Master immediately spat out blood.
Along the way, he had used his Great Dao to protect Chen Fan, and he himself was already poisoned.
"Leave it to me."
Chen Fan raised his hand and pushed the Sword Master away.
The Sword Master was injured, and he could no longer participate in this battle.
"Oh?"
Seeing Chen Fan's action, the Evil Lord uttered a soft exclamation.
Then, he looked at the young man before him with amusement, "Are you going to face me alone? Do you think you can wound me, or what?"
This was interesting.
The Evil Lord's interest was piqued.
Boom.
Chen Fan did not reply. The Gravity Pearl immediately activated its gravity.
The immense pressure fell entirely upon the Evil Lord, causing his flesh and Great Dao to falter for a moment.
"Oh?"
Feeling the pervasive gravity that even suppressed his internal organs and Great Dao, the Evil Lord's expression became one of interest. "A good treasure. Pity that in your hands, it cannot exert its true power. How about this: as long as you hand over this gravity item and the sword in your hand, I shall grant you a whole corpse."
He coveted the Amaterasu Sword and the Gravity Pearl.
"Golden Silk Cicada Robe."
Boom.
Chen Fan shouted again.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe, which protected the physical body, materialized instantly.
It blotted out the sky and earth, transforming into a desperate situation.
The reason Chen Fan had not been affected by the poisonous gas before was that he was wearing the Golden Silk Cicada Robe.
With the protection of the Golden Silk Cicada Robe, he could completely avoid the interference of the poisonous gas.
Mere self-preservation was useless.
At this moment, he activated the Golden Silk Cicada Robe without hesitation.
"More?"
Deep greed appeared in the Evil Lord's eyes.
Three treasures.
Chih.
Silver light flickered, and space leaped.
Another treasure that stirred greed in the Evil Lord's heart appeared.
The Dragon-Patterned Compass was not meant for offense, so Chen Fan had put it away.
The next moment...
Hum.
The Heavenly Crown appeared.
"Hold."
Instantly, a power so immense that even the Evil Lord felt suffocated emerged.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe locked down this space, and the Gravity Pearl suppressed it.
The spatial boots carried him to the Evil Lord's front at the fastest speed.
Then came the Heavenly Crown.
At this moment, the Heavenly Crown, which had absorbed the power of a ninth-tier Great World, unleashed its own power.
