Su Fan frowned.
He formed a hand seal and tapped a few times in front of the barrier, which immediately disappeared.
Su Fan stepped out from within.
Wu Yun and Li Jun, who were hesitating, were stunned.
Su Fan ignored the two. Since they hadn't made a move, he decided to let them go.
"Stop!"
Su Fan shouted at Long Jianchuan and the other.
Long Jianchuan immediately stopped and looked back.
"You really got the inheritance!"
If Su Fan hadn't obtained the inheritance, how could he have opened the barrier here?
Long Jianchuan gritted his teeth in hatred.
He had prepared for so long, and had even gone to great lengths to invite the strongest individuals for this inheritance, specifically to ensure he would obtain it. However, Su Fan, who had appeared unexpectedly, had exploited a loophole.
"Want it? Come and get it."
Su Fan beckoned to Long Jianchuan.
Faced with Su Fan's provocation, Long Jianchuan could no longer stand it and was about to use his special ability to control Su Fan.
Su Fan took out several gems and, following a sequence, threw them onto several positions, instantly setting up a formation.
Long Jianchuan's special ability became ineffective within this formation.
"How is this possible!"
Long Jianchuan was filled with shock as his ability vanished.
Su Fan watched Long Jianchuan with a smile.
The formation he had set up was a "Disabling Array" recorded in the Art of Vertical and Horizontal. Within this formation, all supernatural powers were unusable, including his own. All special abilities were rendered null.
The gems he had thrown were brought from the game. The raw materials for setting up the Disabling Array were various gems and jades, which were as common as cabbage in the game and could be bought in bulk from the shop.
"Even without special abilities, I can still kill you!"
Long Jianchuan regained his composure, his gaze filled with killing intent as he looked at Su Fan.
"Then come."
Su Fan said calmly.
"Soaring Dragon in the Sky!"
Long Jianchuan drew his sword and leaped into the air, using his strongest attack.
In mid-air, Long Jianchuan thrust his sword towards Su Fan. The sword seemed to be entwined with a dragon's shadow.
"Flashy."
"Vertical Strike!"
Su Fan simply brought his blade down, striking precisely at a flaw in Long Jianchuan's technique, the weakest point.
Clang!
Long Jianchuan was sent flying by Su Fan's strike, his sword splitting in two.
Nine Di, who had intended to sneak attack Su Fan, stopped in her tracks upon witnessing this scene, abandoning her plan.
Su Fan had become so strong!
Long Jianchuan found it hard to believe he had lost, and so decisively.
"I don't believe it!"
Unable to accept reality, Long Jianchuan roared, his aura suddenly surging.
"Three Yuan Qi Burst Technique!"
Long Jianchuan's realm directly broke through the Yaoguang realm and entered the Kaiyang realm.
He lightly clenched his right hand, and the broken sword flew into it. Su Fan unleashed a sword energy towards Su Fan.
Su Fan frowned slightly.
"Horizontal Strike!"
Su Fan slashed horizontally with his Golden Back Blade, striking the incoming sword energy.
Boom!
The sword energy exploded in front of Su Fan with a loud bang, creating a deep pit at Su Fan's location and stirring up a large amount of dust.
"Hahahaha! I told you, even without special abilities, I can still kill you! Because my surname is Long!"
Long Jianchuan let out a wild laugh. No one in this world could be more of a genius than him! Impossible!
Nine Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Young Master Long was still superior.
Hu Xuelan and Xiao Lan were stunned.
Su Bei, however, remained largely unfazed.
"He should be fine, right? Isn't it said that smoke means no harm?"
Hu Xuelan glanced at Su Bei.
You're quite optimistic.
"Xiao Lan, can you sense if Su Fan is alright and alive?"
Although Su Bei trusted Su Fan, he still asked Xiao Lan with some concern.
Xiao Lan shook her head.
"I can only predict danger, not sense life force."
Su Bei was somewhat disappointed, but he believed in Su Fan. Su Fan had been in similar situations before, and had emerged unharmed.
Soon, the dust settled, leaving a considerable pit on the ground. Su Fan's shadow was nowhere to be seen in the pit.
Su Bei's heart sank.
"Impossible!"
He found it hard to believe that Su Fan could die so easily.
"This is the consequence of opposing me. It's just a shame about the inheritance."
Long Jianchuan snorted disdainfully at Su Fan and looked towards the mountaintop, wondering if the inheritance was still there.
"I was only gone for a moment, and you've gained this much confidence?"
Su Fan's voice suddenly appeared. Su Fan had reappeared in the deep pit at some unknown time.
"How are you still alive!"
Long Jianchuan looked as if he had seen a ghost. He had clearly blown Su Fan to smithereens just moments ago, so how had he reappeared?
"Do you mean like this?"
Su Fan held a Bagua Token and waved it, appearing on the mountaintop. Then he waved it again and returned.
He had merely used the Bagua Token to teleport.
Before this, he had already left a coordinate on the mountaintop. In the emergency situation just now, he had left another coordinate and teleported directly to the mountaintop, thus avoiding the explosive force of the sword energy.
Seeing Su Fan disappear and then reappear, Long Jianchuan felt a chill.
Teleportation!
How many special abilities did this Su Fan have? Fire, mist, and now teleportation.
"I've taken two of your moves. Now it's my turn, isn't it?"
Su Fan looked coldly at Long Jianchuan.
"Su Bei, lend me your saber!"
Su Fan said to Su Bei.
Seeing that Su Fan was alive, Su Bei was relieved and, without a word, threw his saber to Su Fan.
Su Fan caught the saber from Su Bei, holding a large saber in each hand.
"If you can block this move, I'll let you leave."
Su Fan held the saber in his right hand vertically and the saber in his left hand horizontally in front of him.
Long Jianchuan felt a sense of crisis, as if Su Fan's next move could threaten him.
"Impossible! No one is my opponent! I am invincible!" Long Jianchuan refused to believe that Su Fan could pose a threat to him. It must have been an illusion.
"Art of Vertical and Horizontal, Cross Slash!"
Su Fan's figure instantly disappeared. A cross-shaped blade light flashed, and Su Fan reappeared behind Long Jianchuan.
Long Jianchuan held a broken sword horizontally in front of him, still in a defensive posture.
"Imposs...ible..."
Su Fan sheathed his sabers. Behind him, Long Jianchuan had a bloodstain splitting from his head downwards. His body slowly parted in the middle, the horizontal saber directly cutting him in half. A cross-shaped blade mark divided Long Jianchuan into four pieces, his internal organs and blood spilling onto the ground.
Cross Slash was not the name of a technique within the Art of Vertical and Horizontal. Many of its moves were unnamed, with only the techniques recorded in Su Fan's mind. Cross Slash was a name Su Fan gave himself based on the appearance of the move.
Everyone present was stunned.
Especially Li Jun, Wu Yun, and Nine Di. The Young Master Long they revered had been killed by Su Fan in a single move?
Li Jun felt fortunate that he hadn't had any major conflicts with Su Fan.
Wu Yun felt the same.
Only Nine Di's eyes darted around.
He had promised to kill Su Fan.
"Nine Di?"
Su Fan suddenly called out Nine Di's name.
This made Nine Di's body tremble.
