242: Chapter 217 [The Power of Magic] 242: Chapter 217 [The Power of Magic] The night was inky black, and a light breeze carried the dry, yellow leaves from the roadside trees fluttering down, casting a desolate air.
Ye Fan, driving the Rolls-Royce Phantom, slowly approached the villa.
Seeing this scene, he seed to be moved and could not help but give a bitter smile.
Although Zhao ng, the head of the Yanhuang Organization in Dong Hai, had warned him that the Ye Family might not accept him, he felt Zhao ng made sense and was ntally prepared.
But—
He had not expected that the Ye Family would be so eager to find him and make him disassociate from Ye Wenhao.
Even more unexpectedly, his father, whom he had recognized, had cruelly abandoned him and his mother for worldly power, even driving his mother to leap off a cliff to her death!
Crack!
Thinking of all this, the pain surged back in Ye Fan’s face, which had just regained its calm, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
Soti later, before Ye Fan could stabilize his emotions, the Rolls-Royce Phantom reached the entrance of the villa.
He took out the electronic key and lightly pressed it; the electronic gate received the signal and slowly opened.
Ye Fan drove in, habitually heading towards the garage, his expression shifting uncertainly, completely unaware of Duanmu’s presence.
“Kid, you should feel lucky to be the bastard of the Ye Family, or you wouldn’t even be alive!”
In the darkness, Duanmu sneered in his heart and silently aid the Ghostly Gourd at the approaching Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Hm?
Just as the Ghostly Gourd targeted Ye Fan, a sudden sense of unease surged in his heart; he snapped out of his reverie and hit the brakes!
“Screech~”
The sound of the car tires fiercely rubbing against the road rang out.
Imdiately, Ye Fan released his consciousness, carefully sensing everything around him, yet he detected no presence.
This discovery deeply furrowed Ye Fan’s brows.
In the past two years, following Chu Xuanji’s orders, he had executed commands ti and again at the brink of life and death; his ability to sense danger far exceeded that of an average martial artist!
He was certain, at that very mont, he had sensed an extrely dangerous presence!
“Could it be because of tonight’s events, my mind is disturbed, resulting in hallucinations?”
Failing to detect any presence twice in a row, Ye Fan slowly eased his brow and muttered to himself.
In the dark bushes, Duanmu, seeing Ye Fan suddenly stop the car, was also startled—among the functions of the Ghostly Gourd was the perfect concealnt of presence!
Surprised, Duanmu did not rashly attack but held his breath, perfectly blending into the darkness, quietly sensing every move of Ye Fan.
He wanted to confirm if Ye Fan had discovered him, and also to wait for the perfect opportunity to strike a fatal blow when Ye Fan was completely off guard!
A few seconds later, as Duanmu patiently waited and Ye Fan, sensing no presence, started the car again and drove towards the garage.
This ti, however, his face was on guard, nerves tense, consciousness fully released.
“I knew it, I’ve used the Ghostly Gourd to hide my presence, how could he have possibly noticed?”
Watching Ye Fan restart the car and drive towards him, Duanmu chuckled silently, relieved; then, as the Rolls-Royce Phantom ca within five ters of him, his consciousness suddenly stirred!
The Ghostly Gourd, as Duanmu’s life-bound artifact, had absorbed Duanmu’s Essence Blood and was almost connected to Duanmu’s consciousness.
At the movent of Duanmu’s mind, the Ghostly Gourd reacted as if a soldier receiving a general’s command.
“Swoosh—”
A swooshing sound broke through the air, and a burst of yin wind suddenly sprayed out from the Ghostly Gourd, sweeping towards the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Hm?
When the yin wind manifested, Ye Fan detected the source of danger and imdiately hit the brakes, his consciousness stirred and the power surged frantically from twenty-eight acupoints, boiling his blood internally!
Ye Fan had been dual cultivating magic and martial arts since his youth, having a deep understanding of both.
The mont the yin wind appeared, he knew it was a magical attack that gathered Evil Yin Qi to frighten the opponent, creating in the opponent’s mind illusions of falling into Hell or an Abyss, surrounded by layers of yin spirits, until they lost control of their minds and were scared to death, possibly becoming vegetative.
That day, he used the Yin Yang Absolute Killing Array to gather Evil Yin Qi into Bai Luo’s body exactly like that.
The difference was, that day, he had exercised restraint, only gathering the Yin Qi from the corridor and leading it into Bai Luo’s body, causing Bai Luo to lose control of his mind.
If he had gathered the Evil Yin Qi surrounding Tan’s Private Restaurant into Bai Luo that day, it would have scared Bai Luo to death!
After all, Bai Luo was just an ordinary person.
Special circumstances and experiences had made his consciousness stronger than average and his willpower more firm, but his internal vitality was no different from an ordinary person’s.
And whether one’s vitality was strong or not was key to resisting magical attacks—magic used Evil Yin Qi to attack, while a person’s vitality represented the yang energy!
As the saying goes, yin overcos yang, but yang can also overco yin; the key lies in which side is stronger.
Wuu wuu wuu!
Wuu wuu wuu!
Just as Ye Fan anticipated, as his internal vitality boiled, that stream of yin wind abruptly dispersed, turning into strands of Evil Yin Qi and enveloping the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Inside the car, Ye Fan felt as if he had been suddenly pulled into the Nine Nether Abyss, surrounded by yin spirits on all sides, their cries echoing in his ears, assaulting his spirit.
“Disperse!”
As the illusion occurred, Ye Fan’s spirit trembled, imdiately harnessing the Qi in his Dantian, he shouted!
With that shout, using the martial arts technique ‘Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound,’ his voice bood like a bull, his aura like a rainbow.
The shout broke the yin wind!
“Such strong vitality!”
As the yin wind dispersed, Duanmu was inwardly shocked!
Originally, according to the data he had, Ye Fan was only said to have strength comparable to an Innate Great Success Martial Artist.
Even if he sensed the magic attack from the Ghostly Gourd in an instant, he wouldn’t be able to resist with the essence blood in his body.
Instead, his essence blood would weaken, leading to an unsettled consciousness, which would allow himself to comfortably use the second magic attack.
“Ghost King Descent!”
Taken aback, Duanmu’s consciousness moved, and his hands quickly ford a seal.
“Whoosh——”
As the seal was ford, an evil yin qi, several tis more powerful than before, suddenly erupted from the Ghostly Gourd and quickly converged.
Swipe!
In an instant, Ye Fan felt the scenery before his eyes change again.
Dark mist filled the area, and the sounds of ghost wails and wolf howls echoed once more.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the car.
That shadow was nearly three ters tall, enveloped completely by dark mist.
The mist seed to be composed of thousands of yin spirits, with ferocious expressions, sending chills down one’s spine.
At the sa ti, a large saber appeared in the shadow’s hand, resembling the kind used by executioners in ancient tis, which looked terrifying.
The saber in hand, the shadow let out a spine-tingling, ghostly laugh, leaped up, and swung the saber right at Ye Fan!
A fear like never before sprang up in Ye Fan’s heart.
He felt as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.
His boiling essence blood felt as if it had been frozen, rapidly dissipating.
He seed to have lost his soul and stood petrified with horror, just staring blankly as the terrifying shadow struck him with a saber!
“No!!”
As his consciousness slipped in the face of extre danger, a strong desire to survive erged in Ye Fan’s heart, and he kept shouting internally!
As he shouted, his consciousness stabilized!
The next mont.
Ye Fan’s consciousness moved, and a crimson gold mind power seed flashed brightly.
A trendous mind power surged from his consciousness, forming an invisible golden beam of light, shooting toward the attacking shadow!
“Golden Mind Power Seed?”
Duanmu noticed the glittering bead erging on Ye Fan’s brow in an instant, and a cold smile spread across his lips afterward.
Even though he could see the desperate struggle Ye Fan made at the brink of death, gathering all his mind power into a beam to resist the magic attack invoked by the Ghostly Gourd, he believed it was all in vain!
On one hand, the ‘Ghost King Descent’ was one of the killing moves developed by his master, the King of Magic Arts, Wu Mu, using magic to harness evil yins to form a Ghost King wielding a saber to slash the opponent’s soul—an extrely rare ‘High-level Technique’ with imnse power!
On the other hand, because the strength of Ye Fan’s essence blood was beyond his expectations, he had used up all the evil yins stored in the Ghostly Gourd when he invoked the ‘Ghost King Descent’ magic.
These evil yins, collected over three years in various gloomy places, were terribly fearso!
Under such circumstances, in Duanmu’s view, even if Ye Fan was a Great Perfection Cultivator, rely relying on his own mind power was absolutely not enough to resist this killing move!
As if to confirm Duanmu’s speculation, the golden beam of light ford by all of Ye Fan’s mind power, as soon as it neared the shadow, was effortlessly sliced apart by the shadow’s saber, turning into multiple golden sparkles that vanished into thin air.
In that instant, Ye Fan felt as if his consciousness was viciously pricked by a needle, causing him intense pain; his consciousness wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, imdiately becoming listless.
Simultaneously, after shattering the beam of Mind Power ford by Ye Fan, the shadow didn’t hesitate and lunged toward him, slashing at his neck!
As the saber swung, Ye Fan felt completely enveloped by the aura of death.
His body felt as if it was bound, unable to move; the golden light from his brow gradually dimd, like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any mont!
“Heh!”
Seeing this scene, Duanmu coldly laughed, flashing out of the thicket.
He was well aware that once the golden light from Ye Fan’s brow disappeared, it ant the shattering of the mind power seed.
For a Magician, once the mind power seed shattered, it ant the destruction of consciousness, the dispersal of the soul—vanishing completely from this world!
Hm?
Later, just when Duanmu thought Ye Fan’s consciousness was about to be destroyed and his soul dispersed, the originally dark inside of the car suddenly burst into brilliant golden light!
“Uh…”
As Duanmu watched, a crimson golden crown suddenly appeared above Ye Fan’s head, emitting a crimson golden glow, like a fierce sun, showering golden light everywhere, leaving him stunned.
“What…
what is that?”
As if in answer to Duanmu’s question, the mont the crimson golden crown appeared, the saber-wielding Ghost King instantly shattered, reverting to a stream of evil yin qi.
Swipe!
Seeing this scene, Duanmu felt as if he was awakened from a nightmare, his face changing color.
He quickly ford a handprint attempting to control the evil yin qi through the Ghostly Gourd once more.
No use!
“Whoosh——”
In Duanmu’s incredulous gaze, that powerful stream of evil yin qi completely escaped his control, rushing towards the Crimson Golden Crown.
“How…
how could this be??”
Seeing the bizarre scene before him, Duanmu’s hand trembled, almost dropping the Ghostly Gourd!
…
