Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Misunderstandings Difficult to Resolve
Seeing this, Ye Fan finally panicked. "Stop!" he yelled.
"So you’re finally scared? Today, I will make you understand the pain of losing a loved one!" she said to Ye Fan, her voice icy.
Ye Fan imdiately replied, "Hold on! We need to clarify what’s going on, or this could lead to a huge misunderstanding!"
"When I received my father’s body, it was just his severed head. How could you be so cruel? You killed him and then cut off his head!" she said coldly.
Ye Fan said, "This matter needs to be investigated! Divine Dragon sought to cooperate with your father. It was them who frad
for this!"
Ye Fan tried desperately to explain. He had intended to return the Ice Phoenix Pearl to the Ice Phoenix Sect Master, but this unexpected turn of events truly grieved him. This is clearly Divine Dragon’s work. To think they actually succeeded in framing ... A knot tightened in his stomach. The one who killed the Ice Phoenix Sect Master must have been one of Divine Dragon’s top experts. Was it Mo, or maybe...
"Framing? You still refuse to admit it!" she seethed, her voice filled with anguish. "Today, I’m going to kill your woman!"
Ye Fan said quickly, "You’ve been blinded by hatred! Fine. If you say I killed your father, then co and take your revenge on . Just let her go!"
"Want
to let her go? It’s simple. Get on your knees, right now!" she demanded.
Ye Fan moved to kneel, but Qin Yanran cried out frantically, "Ye Fan, don’t! If you kneel, you’ll be admitting you killed her father!"
"Who told you to speak?!" The woman tightened her grip, nearly suffocating Qin Yanran.
"I’ll kneel! I’ll kneel!" Ye Fan dropped to his knees without hesitation. It is said that a man’s knees are precious as gold, and a hero should never kneel. But Ye Fan knew that if he refused, Qin Yanran would die. For him, kneeling at this mont was not a humiliation.
The stunning woman said coldly, "I’ll grant that you’re still a man. Cut off your own head, and I’ll let your woman go." She tossed a dagger, and it landed in front of Ye Fan.
He remained perfectly calm, but Qin Yanran cried out in tornt, "Ye Fan, you can’t! If you dare do that, I’ll bite my tongue and kill myself right now!"
"I will say it one last ti: I did not kill him," Ye Fan said, looking at her. "Since you don’t believe , so be it. One day, you will learn the truth. But I will not pay for it with my life." With that, he rose to his feet.
"You’re courting death!" the stunning woman said, her voice like ice.
But just then, Ye Fan produced the Ice Phoenix Pearl. "I found the Ice Phoenix Pearl, and now it is in my hands. You’d better not try anything foolish," he declared, "or I’ll destroy it! I wanted to give it to the Ice Phoenix Sect Master in person, but he is already dead. Now, release my woman, and I will give you the Ice Phoenix Pearl!"
Yet, the stunning woman didn’t move an inch. Suddenly, she dissolved into a watery shadow and lunged at him. Ye Fan imdiately thrust the Ice Phoenix Pearl forward. In that instant, she solidified out of her watery form and was forced back.
She glared at Ye Fan, her eyes full of killing intent. If she got the chance, she would kill him without a mont’s hesitation.
Protected by the Ice Phoenix Pearl, Ye Fan rushed forward, making it impossible for the others to get near. He quickly reached Qin Yanran’s side and freed her. "Yanran, fall back for now," he told her. "Leave this group to !"
Qin Yanran didn’t hesitate for a second. She knew staying by Ye Fan’s side now would only hold him back, so she retreated quickly. With Ye Fan wielding the Ice Phoenix Pearl, the surrounding people didn’t dare to advance recklessly, fully aware of the artifact’s terrifying power.
"I don’t wish to be your enemy, nor do I want to kill any of you," Ye Fan said. "But if you refuse to listen to reason, then you’ll force my hand."
"Thief! Do you think you can do whatever you please just because you have the Ice Phoenix Pearl?" the stunning woman rebuked.
"Perhaps not whatever I please," Ye Fan replied, "but it’s more than enough to deal with you."
The stunning woman did not advance. Instead, she stood her ground and silently chanted an incantation. A pale blue light appeared in her hands, growing ever brighter and more dazzling.
Ye Fan clutched the Ice Phoenix Pearl, ready for anything. Suddenly, he felt that sothing was wrong. The Ice Phoenix Pearl seed to be responding to so kind of summons, and it began to pull away from his hand.
He used all his might to hold on to it. If he lost the Ice Phoenix Pearl, he would lose his only way of restraining this woman. But the pearl grew more and more restless until it finally broke free from his grasp.
Ye Fan leaped into the air, trying to grab it, but the Ice Phoenix Pearl had already landed in the stunning woman’s hands.
"Ice Phoenix Power!" the stunning woman shouted, thrusting the Ice Phoenix Pearl toward Ye Fan. Instantly, the surrounding snow and shattered ice coalesced, forming a gigantic Ice Phoenix that charged at him.
Ye Fan was shocked by such a bizarre technique. He imdiately drew his Yuanhong Sword and slashed downward. The razor-sharp Sword Qi sliced the Ice Phoenix clean in two.
He didn’t stop there. He charged toward the Ice Phoenix Saintess, executing his fastest Swordsmanship. The Ice Phoenix Saintess was stunned. She suddenly suspected that this must be the sa decisive, killing Sword Qi that had injured her father. She quickly activated the Ice Phoenix Pearl, attempting to block Ye Fan’s incredibly sharp attack.
In the next mont, his sword pierced through her ice shield. The tip of the Yuanhong Sword ca to rest against the Ice Phoenix Saintess’s neck. She stared at Ye Fan, her eyes burning with hatred.
"You’ve lost," Ye Fan stated simply.
"Then kill ! If you have the nerve, kill
right now!" the Ice Phoenix Saintess retorted.
But Ye Fan just shook his head and smiled. "There’s no need to kill you. We have no real grudge between us. While there is a misunderstanding about your father, I hope you can give
so ti. I will find the true culprit and clear his na!"
Ye Fan had no intention of killing her. After all, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master had shown him favor. He certainly wasn’t going to kill the Ice Phoenix Saintess and deepen the hatred between them.
The Ice Phoenix Saintess said, "Fine. I will give you ti, but you had better keep your word!"
"Don’t worry," Ye Fan assured her. "I will find the murderer soon and prove that I am not the one who killed your father."
With that, he sheathed the Yuanhong Sword and turned to leave. But in the instant he turned, Ye Fan cried out inwardly, Not good!
Sure enough, in that sa mont, the Ice Phoenix Saintess struck. She unleashed the Ice Phoenix Pearl, sending it flying at him. Caught completely off guard, Ye Fan was hit squarely by the pearl and sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
At the sa ti, mbers of the Ice Phoenix Sect surged forward and restrained him, holding blades to his neck.
Ye Fan was furious. He never expected the Ice Phoenix Saintess to go back on her word and launch a sneak attack. He had been completely blindsided.
