Chapter 466: Chen Bei! Battle Against the Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator (Part 2)
Chapter 466: Chen Bei! Battle Against the Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator (Part 2)
In truth, this was intentional.
The old woman also quickly noticed this, and became aware of Lin Fan who had been quietly following behind.
And so, after traveling tens of thousands of miles away from the Sword Aura Great Wall, San Ye took the initiative to stop and face the Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator from the Foreign Realm.
"Interesting."
The old woman laughed, "You have quite the courage."
"Do you really think you can surround and kill me with your numbers?"
The other party's accent was peculiar; apparently, the common language of the Immortal World was not their native tongue.
However, at their level, learning a new language was not a challenge.
"If you oppress the weak with your numbers, we will counter with our unity."
Lin Fan blocked her path, and together with San Ye, they attacked from both sides.
"Ridiculous."
The old woman scoffed, "You should be clear about this."
"At this moment, it's not you surrounding me, but I who have surrounded you!"
Humm!
She pointed with a finger.
As her finger extended, the void trembled.
Countless meteors descended from the sky at incredible speed, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles.
Moreover, these meteors fell faster and faster, resembling countless fireballs crashing down.
But upon closer inspection, one would realize that these were not mere meteors or fireballs, but countless sword lights!
And it didn't end there.
Above, countless sword lights transformed into meteors and attacked.
Below, it was as if a vast, empty land had appeared!
At this moment, the land shattered, and countless volcanoes erupted, spewing lava that clashed with the 'meteors' in the sky, creating a deadly zone!
This lava...
Was pure and condensed sword intent!
This sword move not only seemed overpowering but also possessed infinite might, striking fear into the hearts of its targets.
In just a fleeting moment, both Lin Fan and San Ye simultaneously sensed the aura of death and had no choice but to join forces.
"Sun, Moon, and Stars!"
San Ye waved her leaf, using it as a sword.
She pointed her sword at the sky.
You use sword lights to transform into countless meteors? Then I'll use my sword to cut through the sun, moon, and stars and return them to you! This is a battle of sword paths! San Ye pushed her sword path to the extreme, and countless insights swirled in her mind.
This sword move surpassed all her previous ones, reaching a brand-new peak.
Lin Fan shared the same insights.
In the blink of an eye, his eyes flashed with sword lights, and infinite sword aura surged.
"All Things Become Swords!"
In the sky, the countless meteors were redirected by San Ye's sword aura, changing course to attack the old woman.
Below.
The raging lava was enveloped by Lin Fan's sword, and all things became swords, including lava.
Even if you use sword intent to condense lava, and it's a part of your true fire sword path, what of it?
Borrow strength to strike!
San Ye and Lin Fan both borrowed strength to strike.
One used the sun, moon, and stars to bring down countless meteors, while the other used all things as swords to forcefully envelop the 'lava-covered ground,' then transformed it into a more powerful offensive, attacking the old woman.
"Oh?!"
"You do have some skills, daring to be so outrageous, but what of it? In front of me, you're just a chicken or a dog."
"Scatter!"
Sword lights crisscrossed, shooting out for tens of thousands of miles.
In just an instant, everything around them dispersed.
At the same time, none of the three hesitated and struck again.
Various sword techniques shone.
A genuine sword cultivator's Sword Cultivator's battle!
The Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator from the Foreign Realm was powerful, and each move and technique was entirely different from those in the Immortal World, both in form and concept.
Lin Fan found the battle novel and challenging.
Novelty meant unfamiliarity.
Unfamiliarity often required extra caution; otherwise, one might accidentally fall into a trap.
San Ye, on the other hand, had a better understanding.
However, their cultivation levels were ultimately inferior.
San Ye currently estimated her cultivation to be at the Immortal Stage.
Lin Fan's cultivation was indeed higher, and although he was at the Immortal Stage, his overall cultivation level was close to the peak of the Eleventh Stage or even the Twelfth Stage.
In terms of combat power, San Ye was currently roughly between the Eleventh and Twelfth Stages.
Lin Fan was a genuine Twelfth Stage cultivator.
In other words, he was approximately at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal.
Additionally, their profound sword path achievements allowed them to hold their own for a few moves against this Thirteenth Stage Sword Cultivator from the Foreign Realm due to their advanced sword path cultivation.
But soon, they began to fall behind.
After all, there was a significant gap in their strengths.
Lin Fan was indeed invincible in the Lower World, and he had slain Golden Immortals, but facing an experienced Thirteenth Stage cultivator, even with his exceptional combat power among his peers, he had no effective solution.
Initially, they seemed evenly matched.
However, after about ten rounds, both Lin Fan and San Ye were suppressed.
"Interesting."
The old woman's gaze was deep, and she spoke softly, "Two Tenth Stage cultivators with such combat power, managing to last over ten rounds against me."
"Hehehe..."
"I thought it would be a simple matter of killing a couple of prodigies, but I didn't expect to get two for the price of one."
"You thought you could lure me away, but..."
"You don't know that this is exactly what I wanted, bringing you out here. Even a high-level Sword Aura Great Wall Sword Cultivator can't save you now."
The Immortal World and the Lower World are different.
The world's level is higher, and everything is stronger.
For example, tearing space; in the Immortal Martial Continent, top cultivators at the Seventh Stage could achieve this.
But in the Immortal World, especially in such vast voids, even Thirteenth Stage cultivators would struggle to do so.
Additionally, the range of divine sense would significantly decrease...
From the moment they left the Sword Aura Great Wall, intentionally or unintentionally, they had traveled over a million miles away from it.
Currently, they were over a million miles away from the Sword Aura Great Wall.
Within this range, only the top-tier cultivators...
...could sense their presence if they actively approached.
Killing here would generally go undisturbed.
And slaying these prodigies...
...was indeed a great achievement.
She laughed heartily, seeing Lin Fan and San Ye still struggling, and said, "No need to bother."
"Give up."
"Just one sword, and your body and soul will be destroyed. It won't hurt at all."
Lin Fan blocked the sword attack and said calmly, "How do you know it won't hurt if you haven't died before?"
"Pretending to be calm."
The old woman believed that Lin Fan was just putting on a brave front, but she didn't intend to drag this out any longer.
She unleashed a powerful attack!
Boom!
A thunderous wave!
The sword strike seemed to transform the void into a raging wave, crashing towards them.
But this towering wave was not made of actual water; it was a manifestation of endless sword intent and sword aura, forming a 'tidal wave' of sorts.
This was...
The Grand River Sword Intent.
Lin Fan and San Ye exchanged a glance, then acted simultaneously.
"One Sword to Divide the World!"
They both executed the technique, forcefully blocking the sword strike.
However, even in the Immortal World, they couldn't truly sever a small world, so they could only barely withstand the attack, unable to seal it.
Boom!
Both sides were forced back.
"Still resisting?"
The old woman frowned and pressed forward.
She vaguely felt that something was amiss.
These two 'youngsters'... no, that was wrong. This person and plant were too bizarre.
To possess such formidable strength at such a young age was strange enough, but what was even more peculiar was that they showed no signs of panic, even with death staring them in the face.
They must have a backup plan!
The night was long, and she couldn't afford to drag this out.
She had to eliminate them quickly.
The old woman attacked again.
But Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand, "Hold on."
"The older the ginger, the spicier. Senior, you are indeed formidable."
"We concede."
San Ye: "???"
The old woman stopped, "Oh?!"
"Are you surrendering?"
"Excellent! He who understands the times is a true hero!"
She was somewhat moved.
In fact, over the years, there had been instances of surrender during their battles.
Not only that, but there had been more than one such occurrence.
Both sides had experienced this.
Furthermore, there was even an Immortal King in a foreign realm who had surrendered to the Immortal World.
He now held a rather high position!
If these Celestial Prodigies, Lin Fan and San Ye, were to surrender, her merit would be even greater!
Not only could she cultivate two powerful individuals, but she could also use this to promote and demoralize the Sword Aura Great Wall!
"Since it's like this, open your hearts, and let me plant the Divine Soul Imprint. From now on, you will be members of my clan!"
She was excited.
San Ye looked at Lin Fan.
The latter shook his head, "Senior, I think you've misunderstood."
"Hmm?" The old woman frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Well, to prevent any misunderstandings, I'll be more straightforward."
Lin Fan spoke in a low voice, "What I mean is, you've lived for a long time, and you still have some tricks up your sleeve."
"With just the two of us, it's hardly a case of the strong bullying the weak."
"So..."
"I need to call for reinforcements."
Old Woman: "???"
San Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she knew Lin Fan wasn't that kind of person, the situation earlier was indeed a bit scary. Oh, no, that's wrong. The old woman was still in a daze.
But Lin Fan had already opened the entrance to his small world...
"You're suffocating me!"
A voice cursed.
With her feet firmly planted, her tall figure was accentuated, and she looked at the old woman, then at Lin Fan...
She turned to San Ye, and her pupils dilated.
San Ye...
Hmph!
She was extremely rational and didn't seek trouble with San Ye, but instead, she looked at Lin Fan, "Where did you pull this old onion from?"
At the same time, Xiao Ling'er, Ya Ya, Shi Hao, and others emerged from the small world one after another.
The atmosphere became tense.
The poor environment made them all feel uncomfortable.
Without Lin Fan needing to say more, they knew that the old woman before them was an enemy!
"Be careful," Lin Fan whispered as he picked up the Divine Tomb and opened it.
Chen Bei appeared.
After more than a month of guidance, he seemed to have become more 'normal.'
"I'm out!"
He looked at Lin Fan, excited, "Master!"
"Wow, so many people!"
Everyone: "?"
Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he ran over to pat Chen Bei's shoulder, "Are you Master's new junior apprentice brother?"
"I'm your senior apprentice brother, Shi Hao!"
He Qiang scratched his head, his mind buzzing.
Where's Zhou Qi?!
Why did a junior apprentice brother suddenly appear from the Divine Tomb?
What's going on here?
"It's a long story."
"But first, let's deal with this old woman."
Lin Fan turned to the old woman.
"A 13th Stage Sword Cultivator, although your talent isn't exceptionally strong, you do have some strength. We must not underestimate you."
"Let's attack together and capture her first."
Old Woman: "(⊙o⊙)..."
She was a bit dazed.
To be honest, for a fleeting moment, she was indeed intimidated.
She thought Lin Fan had a backup plan and that a powerful existence of the 13th or even 14th Stage would suddenly appear and slay her.
But...
It turned out to be nothing!
Each one that came out was weaker than the last, not even reaching the 10th Stage. What a joke!
"Haha?"
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "A bunch of ants from the 9th or even 8th Stage..."
"Surrounding me?"
"Boy, your talent is exceptional, but I never thought your brain would be so foolish."
"These ants, they're not even fit to be cannon fodder!"
"I can wipe them out with a single breath!"
"How arrogant."
Long Ao Jiao immediately showed her displeasure.
Damn it! Whether they could win or not, she had never been treated so rudely.
"And..."
But the old woman ignored her and looked at Chen Bei, her lips twitching uncontrollably.
A mere mortal with no cultivation!
Damn it! They dare to send a mortal to face me?
How dare they?
Do they think I'm dead and won't fight back?!
Her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at Chen Bei, speaking slowly and deliberately, "You... you want to kill me too?"
"Huh?"
"No, no, no.
Chen Bei waved his hand.
"Heh." The old woman scoffed, "Afraid? It's only natural, no need to make excuses for yourself."
Chen Bei tilted his head, then spoke seriously, "Yeah, you're right, I'm afraid."
"Master said that killing is wrong. What if I accidentally kill you?"
"After all, I've already killed someone before. I can't just kill indiscriminately."
He Qiang blinked his eyes.
Killed someone before?
Could it be... Zhou Qi?
Hiss!!!
So, this seemingly ordinary, harmless little junior brother is actually a super powerful person?!
Capable of single-handedly killing a True Immortal? Not inferior to Long Ao Jiao?
The other disciples also looked at Chen Bei in disbelief.
The old woman, however, was filled with black lines...
What nonsense!
What kind of talk is this?!
Afraid of accidentally killing me?
Please, you're just a mortal. I'm a 13th Stage Great Sword Cultivator. How can you kill me?
And accidentally, at that?!
Where's your face?!
How dare you think you can kill me?
This is... infuriating!
The old woman gasped heavily, clearly agitated.
Although Chen Bei was speaking his mind, the old woman didn't know that! In her eyes, this was clearly the mortal deliberately provoking her.
This is outrageous!
"Die!"
She couldn't help but burst into action, and her first target was Chen Bei. Her sword sliced through the air with incredible speed, causing everyone present to gasp.
"Ah?"
Chen Bei was astonished, "I said I didn't want to fight you."
"But you still..."
"Ouch!"
The sword blade touched his body.
Chen Bei cried out, not having time to think about the mess.
He flicked his finger, and although he was the second to act, his finger landed on the sword.
A sword hum reverberated, and the sword was pushed to the side by his action.
At the same time, his right hand unleashed a powerful punch! Using his body's momentum, he channeled all his strength into that punch.
As the punch landed, even space seemed to distort for a moment.
The old woman's expression changed, and she revealed a shocked look, "Hmm?!"
She quickly raised her sword to block.
Bang!
The punch solidly landed on the sword.
Her entire body trembled, and then she uncontrollably flew backward for several hundred meters before barely stabilizing her figure, looking rather embarrassed.
"What?!"
She was stunned.
What the hell was going on?! A mere mortal...
With a flick of his finger, he blocked her sword, and then with a punch, he sent her flying.
But Chen Bei was instantly excited, "Ah?!"
"Great, you're not dead?!"
"I didn't kill you!"
He was genuinely happy.
After all, Lin Fan had taught him that killing without reason was wrong.
Moreover, after they left, Lin Fan didn't tell him that he should kill her.
Mainly...
Seeing his 'lethality' was so strong, Lin Fan felt that there was no need to tell him.
Why tell him?
His mouth's lethality was no weaker than his fists!
But his reaction made the old woman's eyebrows twitch, and her temples throbbed.
How dare he!
This is...
How dare he~~~~!
Too damn unreasonable!
Who does she think she is?
You didn't kill me with that punch, and you're happy about it?!
Because you didn't kill me, you're happy you don't have to face the consequences?!
Her face darkened, and without further ado, she took action.
At this moment, she had only one thought...
Kill!
Kill them all!
"Ah?!"
Chen Bei was stunned, "Why are you like this? I said I didn't want to kill you, and yet you still come?"
"What if I accidentally kill you later?"
His face was filled with annoyance and disdain, but he had no choice but to engage in combat with her.
"I'll go first!"
"Hmph!"
Long Ao Jiao coldly humphed and immediately rushed forward to help.
If there's trouble...
She's really going to fight!
Xiao Ling'er approached, curious, "Master, who is he?"
"Consider him a pitiful person."
Lin Fan sighed, "From now on, he's your junior brother."
"Our junior brother is very powerful." Fan Jianqiang's eyes widened, "His physical body is simply heaven-defying."
"Is his name Chen Bei?"
Lin Fan nodded.
Fan Jianqiang's heart immediately understood.
This wave?
This is a sure win!
"Let's help and take down this woman first!"
After saying this, Lin Fan charged forward.
"..."
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Ling'er and the others quickly responded, and after greeting San Ye, they attacked the old woman together.
"Don't rush!"
Along the way, Fan Jianqiang spoke softly, "Our cultivation is too low, we dare not be reckless."
"Otherwise, if something happens, everyone will be sad."
"So, I'll set up an array first, and we'll attack and harass from a distance."
"Come on~"
"..."
...
Chen Bei was completely bewildered.
He couldn't understand why the old woman was so angry after he merely spoke the truth.
And his expression of speechlessness and helplessness directly maximized the damage!
The old woman was almost entirely infuriated with Chen Bei, even temporarily ignoring the fiercely attacking Long Ao Jiao.
But despite her furious attacks, she couldn't manage to kill Chen Bei!
Lin Fan observed all of this with satisfaction.
He was satisfied with Chen Bei's strength!
Chen Bei wasn't actually a mortal; he was a powerful figure who had lost his memory and his 'divine energy'.
At this moment, his strength was also not weak.
But...
Being able to withstand her attacks without dying was already his current limit.
Lin Fan saw this clearly.
If the opponent were a little stronger...
At least, if they were one great realm stronger, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!
And Lin Fan himself could also share Chen Bei's physical strength...
But the problem was that this physical strength only allowed him to withstand the opponent's attacks.
