After taking the antidote, he channeled his energy to expel the poison from his body.
Leng Yue's body was no longer in serious condition, but having been injured, she was still sowhat weak and couldn't sustain long periods of combat.
Recollecting his inner strength, Xiaofan looked up at the crowd surrounding him, and his eyes surprisingly showed a hint of disdain.
If this is the strength of breaking through limits, then this disdain is well-deserved.
Once, Xiaofan had entered such a state, in the Kyoto base, a realm of losing oneself and becoming selfless.
Back then, he was utterly cornered, desperate enough to risk his life, leading to the formation of Xiaofan's self domain.
However, after being rescued by Li San and Tang Tianyou, until today when Leng Yue risked her life to save him, Xiaofan couldn't recapture that feeling.
But just as Xiaofan saw Leng Yue on the brink of life and death, his inner strength flowed by itself, surging out like an endless torrent.
His senses beca so sharp that everything in front of him slowed down, with everything within a few ters radius under Xiaofan's control.
He opened his domain, his personal domain, where within it, Xiaofan had the final say.
Lightly holding Leng Yue's small hand, Xiaofan gently asked, "Are you scared?"
Feeling Xiaofan's tenderness, Leng Yue's heart ward, and she smiled faintly, shaking her head, "As long as you don't leave alone again, I'm not afraid of going anywhere."
"Alright, I won't leave you again..."
'Whoosh.'
With that, Xiaofan's figure flickered, dashing towards the elder he had just slashed monts ago.
His speed was astonishing, even Muto couldn't react imdiately.
When the elder realized he was targeted again, Xiaofan was already in front of him.
Retreating a step, the first thought in the elder's mind was to flee, as that strange slash earlier almost cost him his life.
"Don't retreat, retreat and you're defeated..." Muto realized, shouting loudly.
Trying to rush over to save his fellow disciple was too late, he hurried towards Leng Yue intending to execute a strategy of surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao.
A split second could an life or death. When Xiaofan reached the elder, the opponent was already within his domain.
If he dared to face him directly, there might be a chance, but starting with a step back sealed his fate.
The opportunity lost, Xiaofan's eyes turned indifferent, a cold flash, blood splattered in the moonlight...
"Baka yarou..."
No matter how furiously Muto shouted, he could only watch as his fellow disciple died at Xiaofan's blade in an instant.
Xiaofan's victory ca from the elent of surprise; the opponent's instinctive retreat left an opening for attack. Within his domain, Xiaofan could grasp any of the opponent's intentions and directions.
If he dared to fight head-on, Xiaofan surely wouldn't press his advantage, because there was still Leng Yue behind him. But as soon as the opponent gave up on fighting, it spelled his doom.
'Whoosh.'
In another instant flash, Xiaofan's speed within his domain reached an unparalleled level. Right after killing the elder, he instantly returned to block Muto.
Muto could only be amazed at such an incredible retreat.
Although Muto's inner strength was much stronger than Xiaofan's, under such bizarre speed and agile body technique, he couldn't find any attacking point on Ye Xiaofan.
"What are you waiting for? Go capture that girl for ."
Yes, to avoid greater loss, only by capturing Leng Yue could they force Ye Xiaofan to comply.
All previous advantages vanished the mont Ye Xiaofan broke through his limits.
Muto began to get anxious, even panicking. If they couldn't kill Ye Xiaofan in such circumstances, how would they deal with him in the future?
However, when Muto proposed to capture Leng Yue to threaten Xiaofan, he had already lost.
Originally, with four people joining forces, Xiaofan was never a match, but now one had been assassinated, and another was dead, leaving two who could do nothing against Xiaofan.
'Bang.'
Blocking Muto, Xiaofan withdrew back to Leng Yue's side.
"How was it? Handso?"
"Pfft."
Even at this tense mont, he had the leisure to crack a joke.
But precisely in such a tense mont, Leng Yue was amused by his joke.
"Don't stray too far from ."
"Alright."
With that, Muto and his fellow disciple advanced again.
The subordinates surrounded as well.
Muto's plan was simple: if he and his disciple could hold Xiaofan off and let the subordinates control the girl, they would win.
But upon confronting Xiaofan, they realized their plan was naive.
Naïve to the point of being childish.
'Whoosh. Whoosh...'
Xiaofan didn't even use his toothpick ejection on Muto or the elder; during their pincer attack, his toothpicks one after another shot past, taking down the experts surrounding Leng Yue one by one.
Even if Muto wanted to restrain Xiaofan alone, allowing his disciple to capture Leng Yue, he found that Ye Xiaofan had firmly blocked the path forward.
In his domain, you could pass only if he allowed it; otherwise, you couldn't move an inch.
That year, the scene in the cedar forest replayed before Xiaofan's eyes.
That aged figure single-handedly blocking the joint attack of the Five Ghosts.
In such circumstances, within his formidable domain, even the Five Ghosts couldn't advance half a step despite fighting to the death.
This was Ren Zhongtian's realm.
Unfortunately, that ti Ren Zhongtian was already old. Xiaofan never witnessed Ren Zhongtian in his pri with overwhelming strength.
But now, Xiaofan knew he was approaching the first ti he saw Ren Zhongtian; every move, every step was so freely casual, with everything around firmly in control in his heart. Taking this step, Xiaofan no longer feared even the strongest of sieges.
Death… one expert after another fell.
Although Leng Yue was sowhat exhausted, under Xiaofan's continuous toothpick protection, the confronting enemies fell one by one.
This settled Leng Yue's heart, and her performance beca increasingly stronger.
"Hey, don't go too far."
"Hm? Going too far and you can't find ?" Leng Yue chuckled slightly, originally wanting to pursue and slay another but was stopped by Xiaofan.
"Yeah, afraid of losing you." Xiaofan smiled softly, a cold light once again facing Muto.
Actually, Xiaofan's toothpick ejection had also greatly increased in power, but the farther the distance, the more it waned. That's why Xiaofan let Leng Yue stay not far behind him to attract the enemies, making them easier to take down.
