Chapter 953: Chapter 839: Group Battle Part 2 – Compensating for the Deficit 19
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Su Liuli and Chu Ji did not retreat; instead, they advanced, taking the initiative to attack, launching their strongest killing moves.
In an instant, a massive tree of Gang Qi appeared before Su Liuli, while Chu Ji slashed out a sword radiance.
“Kill!”
Xu Wudao roared, instantly thrusting two spears, and two beams of gun light howled towards the Bodhi Tree and the sword radiance.
Boom——
The next mont a loud noise erupted, an energy storm swept in all directions. Su Liuli and Chu Ji successfully resisted Xu Wudao’s attack unhard, thanks to their defensive magic tools.
Although Xu Wudao was powerful, Su Liuli was also a mid-stage War God level cultivator, and the only disciple of the Martial Arts genius Bodhi Wu Yin, practicing a skill comparable to Ancient Heavenly Technique, the “Bodhi Skill”.
Once Su Liuli fought desperately, her combat power was astonishing!
Chu Ji, although not having broken through, was on the verge of doing so. Through this period of teaming up and hunting mutant beasts with Su Liuli, they had ford a seamless teamwork!
Moreover, both had strong defensive magic tools!
This was why Ye Fan felt at ease letting them battle Xu Wudao!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Constant muffled sounds could be heard, Gang Qi filled the air, and silhouettes intertwined as all three engaged in a frenzied battle.
Su Liuli’s Bodhi Tree and Chu Ji’s treasure sword complented each other, with one attacking and one defending. For a ti, Xu Wudao was completely at a loss, unable to break the duo’s coordination.
At this mont he realized his mistake, initially thinking that with his strength, defeating Su Liuli and Chu Ji was a piece of cake, only to find out that it was not the case once the real fight started.
Every ti he saw an opportunity to fiercely attack Chu Ji, she would shield with the Yanhuang Furnace, and he couldn’t break through its defense, making the battle a deadlock.
anwhile, Ye Fan and Anton finally clashed. Ye Fan abandoned the flying knife assassination, switching to the Domineering Fist to confront the opponent’s treasure sword head-on.
Anton had an extrely sharp saber technique, often adopting a mutual destruction strategy, which demanded high levels of morale and psychological readiness, attacking with a do-or-die ntality.
Ye Fan also fought with a reckless abandon, engaging fiercely with him.
Swish!
Anton slashed downward, the sharp sword light tearing through the air toward Ye Fan’s face. Simultaneously, Ye Fan’s right hand, donned with Black Iron Fist set, clenched into a fist, eting it with the Azure Sky Overlord Blood from the Domineering Fist, while silently kicking out a foot.
This kick, to prevent the opponent from knowing in advance, was done with hidden energy, silent, and without the slightest wind sound.
Anton was playing the sa trick; at the mont the saber and Black Iron Fist set collided, he swept a leg horizontally, attempting to break Ye Fan’s legs.
Bam!
Their legs collided below, but Anton swept horizontally while Ye Fan kicked out in the shortest straight line, essentially kicking right into Anton’s sweeping foot, catching him off guard.
If it wasn’t for Anton also plotting against Ye Fan, imbued with Gang Qi, this single move could have broken his foot.
Even so, Anton felt a sharp pain in his ankle, nearly losing his balance, and urgently retreated, widening the distance from Ye Fan!
At this mont…
Ye Fan launched another fierce attack, two flying knives circled with sword light over a ter long, attacking from both sides.
Simultaneously, the Azure Sky Overlord Blood struck out again, the blazing punch ray infused with a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, fiercely targeting Anton’s chest.
Anton never expected Ye Fan’s martial arts cultivation, which hadn’t even reached the mid-level War God realm, had such powerful attack power. Under ti pressure, he slashed out two beams of sword light to either side, while he opened his mouth to spray a beam of Innate Gang Qi, like an arrow, towards Ye Fan’s punch ray.
Clang clang…
The sound of the sword lights colliding resonated in everyone’s ears, as Anton’s sword light narrowly managed to shatter Ye Fan’s flying knife sword light.
anwhile, Ye Fan’s punch ray arrived as well. The Innate Gang Qi, though powerful, was wishful thinking if it hoped to crush Ye Fan’s Azure Sky Overlord Blood.
In the instant the Innate Gang Qi touched the punch ray, it was crushed instantly.
At this ti, Anton was horrified to find that he couldn’t dodge, his body seemingly immobile; he barely managed to twist his body, avoiding a lethal blow to his heart.
Boom…
The punch ray directly struck Anton’s protective Gang Qi, which only held for half a second before being shattered, viciously striking his right chest.
Pfft!
Anton imdiately spewed a mouthful of blood, struggling to operate the waning Gang Qi to defend and dissolve the heart-piercing punch ray, his body simultaneously being involuntarily flung backward.
Only now did he realize how correct Xu Wudao had been—Ye Fan truly was a demon. Despite not breaking through to the mid-level War God realm, he was already so formidable; once he did break through, perhaps no one of the sa age could challenge him!
Unfortunately, knowing now was too late. Anton’s Gang Qi circulated many tis within his body to finally dissolve the heart-piercing punch ray, but it was almost impossible to fight again.
Seeing Ye Fan’s intent to pursue and destroy him, Anton dared not linger any longer. Taking advantage of the montum of being thrown backward, he directly executed a flying martial technique. A pair of Gang Qi wings instantly materialized behind him, allowing him to flee.
Ye Fan did not chase, instead turning directly to walk towards Xu Wudao, who was currently engaging in a fierce battle with Su Liuli and Chu Ji, steadily gaining the upper hand. Defeating the two was only a matter of ti.
However—
At this mont, Anton couldn’t withstand Ye Fan’s attack and escaped alone!
Seeing this, Xu Wudao was so furious that he almost broke his steel teeth. He originally planned to deal with Su Liuli and Chu Ji and then turn around to join forces with Anton to attack Ye Fan. Unexpectedly, Anton deserted on the spot, foiling the plan!
Although he was seething with anger, Xu Wudao knew very well that if Ye Fan joined the fight, he would have no chance of winning and was dood to die.
Huff! Huff!
With his life in danger, Xu Wudao unleashed unprecedented potential, executing a move nad ‘Conquer the World,’ his black spear transforming into countless gun lights, forcing Su Liuli and Chu Ji back while simultaneously launching a Great Void Slash at Ye Fan.
As Ye Fan defended himself, Xu Wudao summoned an Ancient War Chariot, escaping in a blink, leaving only a small black dot behind.
This battle, though seemingly simple, was extrely perilous. Whether it was Ye Fan, Su Liuli, or Chu Ji, if any side failed to withstand the fierce attacks and lost, the other was sure to die as well.
Ye Fan frowned slightly. If he hadn’t grasped the Azure Sky Overlord Blood and advanced his magic to the Mid-level War God Realm, it would have been impossible to drive back Anton and Xu Wudao.
Su Liuli and Chu Ji were also filled with dread—Xu Wudao’s intention was to injure and capture them alive to coerce Ye Fan, or possibly to retaliate against him. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether they could have truly blocked his final strike aid at Ye Fan.
“You guys take a rest and then enter the Ancient Tower to search for treasure. I’ll stand guard here. They probably haven’t gone far and will surely keep an eye on this place.”
After speaking, Ye Fan stood in front of them, looking in the direction where the two had fled.
Ye Fan wasn’t mistaken. In reality, Xu Wudao and Anton hadn’t escaped far but were hiding on the other side of a mountain peak, sneaking curious glances in this direction.
They all agreed that there must be treasures inside the Ancient Tower, even if they couldn’t obtain them, seeing what was inside would be worthwhile.
Moreover, they were still contemplating stealing the treasures, thinking that as long as the treasures weren’t on Ye Fan, they might have an opportunity to act.
After the intense battle, both Su Liuli and Chu Ji were quite exhausted. Though the treasure was close at hand, they still heeded Ye Fan’s words, sitting cross-legged on the ground to restore their strength through cultivation.
A few minutes later, the two opened their eyes and, after glancing at Ye Fan, they headed towards the Ancient Tower upon his nod.
Ye Fan stood alone at the entrance of the Ancient Tower, like a statue of a War God, exuding an aura that seed to block thousands.
Half an hour later, the radiance from the Ancient Tower vanished suddenly. Anton and Xu Wudao exchanged a glance, seeing deep disappointnt in each other’s eyes.
No doubt, the treasure had been taken by either Su Liuli or Chu Ji; only then would the light disappear without a trace.
With Ye Fan by their side, the two felt that the chance of seizing the treasure was almost nil unless they divided their forces. However, given the cleverness of Su Liuli and Chu Ji, how could they possibly separate from Ye Fan?
Disappointed, the duo reluctantly retreated into the distance. Having no fate with the treasure, they decided it was better not to look to avoid unnecessary longing.
Shortly after they left, Su Liuli and Chu Ji erged from the Ancient Tower, empty-handed.
Ye Fan looked at the two in surprise and asked, “Did you find the treasure? Why didn’t you bring it out?”
The two smiled wryly, leaving Ye Fan even more puzzled, wondering what they were laughing about.
“Let explain!”
Su Liuli grinned again and said to Ye Fan, “Ye Fan, there are no treasures in this Ancient Tower at all. What was glowing was just a stele!”
A stele? Glowing? And with radiance? What on earth is that?
Ye Fan looked at them both, confused, waiting for Su Liuli to continue.
“According to the text on the stele, this tower is called the ‘Sky Tower,’ with a total of five levels. Each level has extrely difficult trials, and those who can fully pass will gain unexpected benefits.
However, since these are trials, they won’t be easy. Passing is likely difficult, but failing doesn’t matter. Participants will be teleported out just before death, so they won’t lose their lives.
That’s all the stele records. When we arrived, we didn’t touch anything, and the radiance disappeared by itself.”
Chu Ji continued the explanation to Ye Fan, she, like Ye Fan, had learned about the changes in ancient script from Chu Xuanji, so although the characters on the stele were ancient, they weren’t beyond her capacity to decipher.
“I see. So, did you take the trials?”
Ye Fan realized it suddenly, pondering that such a design by the ancients must have been intended for so of the geniuses among geniuses. As for the unexpected benefits ntioned, Ye Fan couldn’t guess what they could be.
Since they are unexpected, if guessed, they wouldn’t be unexpected. Still, the rewards for passing all levels would certainly not be too ager.
Chu Ji shook her head, saying, “No, probably due to the long passage of ti, the characters on the stele were sowhat blurred. I spent a lot of effort deciphering them, and we had no ti for the trials.”
Su Liuli added in agreent, “Moreover, neither of our strengths have returned to peak state, so attempting the trials now would be self-torture, and we were also afraid you might worry while waiting, so we ca out first to inform you.”
“Alright then, start cultivating imdiately and try to recover to peak state, then attempt the trials. I’ll guard the tower entrance to prevent those two from coming back.”
With these words, Ye Fan sat cross-legged, focusing on his breath until his heart cald, entering a ditative state, quickly beginning the process of restoring his strength.
He needs to regain his peak strength as quickly as possible!
Firstly, to guard against Anton and Xu Wudao’s potential return; secondly, to prepare for the upcoming trials!
Sky Tower, he must conquer it!
