Hearing Lu Ming ask why he didn't have a lightning tribulation, Ye Fan’s eyes flickered. This was the first time he had broken through a major realm on the Xuantian Continent.
He hadn't expected that there would be no tribulation lightning either.
Looking up at the sky, he guessed that this must be special treatment from the Heavenly Dao of this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to resurrect time and time after again.
However, he wasn't going to tell anyone about this.
He then walked toward Lu Ming step by step, his cold voice brimming with murderous intent. “Now, you can die!”
Lu Ming’s face was pale as he looked at Ye Fan. “I’m about to die anyway, and we were basically husband and wife for a bit. Can you tell me why you’re so hell-bent on killing me?”
“Hmph... You deserve to die. You shouldn't even exist in this world...”
“Do I really look that deserving of death?”
“Yes, you do!”
Lu Ming nodded. Well, damn. This woman is definitely my fated enemy, a Heaven-ordained villain, and my destined stepping stone. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to kill me this badly for no reason!
Lu Ming then looked at Ye Fan with some sympathy. What a beautiful woman! If she hadn't been cast as a stepping stone, she might have been the female lead!
None of that mattered, though. What mattered was that he wouldn't let himself lose a war of words!
Seeing the sympathy in Lu Ming’s eyes, Ye Fan immediately bristled. I am a grand Immortal Emperor of my generation! Do I need the sympathy of a wretched mortal like you?
Just then, Lu Ming spoke up.
“You don't look like you deserve to die!”
Ye Fan froze, not understanding what Lu Ming was trying to say.
Lu Ming put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly, “You look three parts human, three parts ghost, three parts shoehorn, and the last part like my unwashed boxers...”
“You come out during the day to scare people, and at night to scare ghosts.”
“Your very existence is a jumpscare...”
As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking—
“Boom! Boom!”
Ye Fan was so enraged that his spiritual power erupted completely. A shockwave of energy soared into the sky, and his long hair danced wildly.
“You’re looking for death!”
A man of honor could be killed, but not humiliated. This wretched mortal was not only insulting him, but rubbing it in his face while he was pinned to the ground.
The moment Ye Fan raised his hand, Lu Ming retreated at high speed and shouted, “Everyone, it’s time for a group beatdown!”
As soon as Lu Ming’s voice fell, Big Yellow, Wang Defa, and the rest appeared around Ye Fan.
Back at Songfeng Villa, Lu Ming had already told them that the Crown Prince of the Tianqi Dynasty and the others had been arranged by Ye Qingcheng. They couldn't understand why Ye Qingcheng wanted to kill this monkey, Lu Ming.
Now that they knew who the enemy was, they weren't surprised to see Ye Fan.
However, Ji Chen was curious. Even if Ye Qingcheng had broken through, Lu Ming should still be able to fight above his level. He and Ye Qingcheng were both part of the elite generation of the major powers. He had fought Ye Qingcheng before, and while her strength was impressive, she was still a bit lacking compared to Lu Ming. Had this woman been hiding her true strength all along?
When Ye Qingcheng saw Big Yellow and the others, a thick murderous intent flashed in his eyes. “Very well. You can all go to the afterlife together!”
His words made everyone freeze for a moment. Good grief, this woman really is sick. She wants everyone she sees to die!
“Boom...”
Big Yellow was the first to act. After all, the early bird gets the worm, and the late bird gets the scraps.
Big Yellow’s four paws kicked off the ground as he performed a Hungry Dog Pounce, aiming to bite Ye Fan’s shoulder. He was completely unfazed by the Unity stage pressure emanating from Ye Fan.
Disdain flashed in Ye Fan’s eyes. His figure flickered as he threw a punch, which carried his profound cultivation as it slammed into Big Yellow’s chest and abdomen.
“Holy crap...!”
Big Yellow let out a pathetic yelp as his body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string. He slammed into the ground, creating a dog-shaped hole with only one twitching dog leg sticking out.
The moment Big Yellow made his move, Wang Defa and the others followed suit.
Wang Defa quickly formed hand seals to manifest his eight-trigram disk. This eight-trigram disk was the one Lu Ming had chosen from the Tiansheng Sect and given to him. A massive phantom of the eight-trigrams slammed violently toward Ye Fan...
Ji Chen held a cold, gleaming longsword as he stepped through the void.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh x 114,514!
The sword array unleashed its power as myriad sword shadows shot toward Ye Fan from all directions.
Fu Chen, Bao Duoduo, and Xue Wuchang looked at each other and simultaneously threw out their Thunderclap Bricks. The golden Thunderclap Bricks crackled with purple lightning as they hurtled toward Ye Fan.
Seeing the group's offensive, cold light flickered in Ye Fan’s eyes. He let out a soft shout and threw out an attack, first shattering the phantom of Wang Defa’s eight-trigram disk before striking Wang Defa himself.
“Pfft...”
Wang Defa’s face turned pale as he spat out blood and was sent flying dozens of zhang.
At the same time, Ye Fan’s figure flickered, his body glowing with light as he blocked Ji Chen’s thousands of sword shadows. He followed up with a strike that hit Ji Chen squarely.
Ji Chen groaned in pain as the sword shadows instantly dissipated. He stumbled back several steps, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing the Thunderclap Bricks thrown by Fu Chen and the others, Ye Fan simply waved his hand. Light flowed around him, and the Thunderclap Bricks were sent flying back, striking each of them in the chest.
“Pfft...!”
“Bang...!”
They spat out blood and were sent tumbling through the air.
“Cough, cough...”
Fu Chen and the others were horrified as they coughed up blood. Was this the strength of a Unity stage cultivator?
Seeing Xue Wuchang injured, Feng Qingqing let out a sharp cry. “You’re looking for death! How dare you hit my man!”
She immediately released waves of charming divine sense, aiming directly for Ye Fan’s soul.
“Pfft...”
The moment her divine sense clashed with Ye Fan’s, Feng Qingqing’s body trembled, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing everyone repelled, the giant Liu Yihu let out a furious roar. He swung his mace and smashed it toward Ye Fan. His thought process was simple: the time to repay Lu Ming’s kindness had come.
Ye Fan stepped to the side to dodge and used the momentum to land a punch on his chest. Liu Yihu’s massive body crashed to the ground, leaving him critically injured and on the verge of death.
In just a few moments, everyone besieging Ye Fan was wounded, their auras withering.
Lu Ming, who had just swallowed a recovery pill, felt his teeth ache at the sight. Dammit, this woman is a tough nut to crack!
Just then, Ye Fan looked at the group with a ruthless gaze. “Die!”
“What, do you want to live and die together with me?” Lu Ming shouted. He activated all his spiritual power and charged forward, brandishing his Weapon Vault.
Lu Ming was full of confidence that he could kill Ye Fan. After all, as the protagonist, he definitely wouldn't die! It was just that this stepping stone was a bit hard this time. Stubbing his toes!
“Boom... Boom...”
The battle erupted once more.
The injured group gritted their teeth and forced themselves to continue. Ji Chen swung his sword to distract Ye Fan, while Feng Qingqing risked further damage to her divine sense to release more charming divine sense as a distraction.
Big Yellow crawled out of his hole and roared again, unleashing his ultimate move: “A Dog’s Borrowed Might!”
Bao Duoduo and the others also controlled their Thunderclap Bricks to strike at Ye Fan.
While everyone was fighting tooth and nail, Zhu Wuneng stood at a distance, releasing poison... Xiao Huihui’s body flashed with gray light as she grew to the height of a man, flapping her wings frantically in support.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Lu Ming and the rest were once again blown away by Ye Fan.
“Heh... Ptooey...”
Lu Ming spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the heavily injured group, he frowned deeply. This wasn't working! He might not die, but Big Yellow and the others might not be so lucky! No... he had to think of something.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He remembered his vortex dantian...
