Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Sha Que Appears
Ye Fan lit a cigarette and took a mont to calm himself.
Seeing Ye Fan’s emotional turmoil, Su Qingxue’s heart ached. She knew that behind this man’s usually carefree and joking deanor hid an unspeakable sorrow.
So, she said to him, "Ye Fan, I can help you, you know."
But Ye Fan shook his head. "Qingxue, you are very strong, but you cannot wield the full power of the Fla Witch. You still need to grow. As you are now, even with our help, you cannot defeat the Divine Dragon."
Ye Fan understood Su Qingxue’s strength, and he knew a direct confrontation with the Divine Dragon would end in a grueso death.
At that mont, the Ice Phoenix Saintess wiped away her tears and said to Ye Fan, "I’m sorry. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been so impulsive."
Ye Fan replied, "I understand how you feel, but dealing with the Divine Dragon requires careful planning."
"Okay," the Ice Phoenix Saintess agreed obediently, before adding with conviction, "But one day, I will wipe this faction from existence!"
It was a solemn vow.
Ye Fan said, "Count
in."
" too," Su Qingxue added.
Although she had no personal grudge against the Divine Dragon, anything involving Ye Fan and his friends was her business too.
Now that they had uncovered the truth, Ye Fan knew it wasn’t safe to linger. "Let’s get out of here," he said. "Since the Scarlet Reaper chose this place for his transaction, he might co back and lie in ambush for us."
"Alright."
The two won imdiately got up, preparing to leave with him.
But just as they reached the middle of the gorge, Ye Fan’s expression darkened. "Not good!"
"What’s wrong?" the Ice Phoenix Saintess asked.
Su Qingxue felt it too. "A powerful presence is approaching us from ahead," she said.
Ye Fan said, "It’s a scarlet killing aura!"
Instantly, the Ice Phoenix Saintess’s face turned cold, her delicate brows furrowing.
Sure enough, a figure appeared ahead, shrouded in a scarlet aura and radiating an extre Evil Qi. It was the Scarlet Reaper, whose very presence inspired despair.
Ye Fan said grimly, "Scarlet Reaper."
The dark figure stopped and said to Ye Fan in a mocking tone, "I never imagined the little brat from back then would grow to such an extent. Congratulations."
"What’s there to celebrate? You’re the ones who forced
to this point!" Ye Fan retorted coldly.
The Scarlet Reaper said indifferently, "King of Heaven, you were lucky to escape back then. Important matters within the Divine Dragon kept us busy, which is the only reason you’ve lived until now. You should be grateful."
Ye Fan sneered, "Grateful that you didn’t kill ?"
"Precisely," the Scarlet Reaper nodded.
But Ye Fan countered resolutely, "You didn’t spare ; I survived on my own. The only reason I’m alive is for revenge! One day, I will destroy the Divine Dragon!"
The Scarlet Reaper, however, scoffed. "Is that so? You won’t get the chance. The Divine Dragon is not as simple as you imagine. Forget now—even if I gave you another hundred years, you wouldn’t stand a chance. Of course, you won’t get that long, because today, your death is certain!"
"You were waiting here just for us?" the Ice Phoenix Saintess demanded.
"That’s right, and you finally showed up. Ice Phoenix Saintess, you disappoint
as much as your father did. Neither of you managed to kill him!" the Scarlet Reaper said coldly.
"Are you saying you killed my father?" she asked, her voice trembling with hatred.
"Indeed, I killed that worthless father of yours. He should have known his place. Once you collaborate with the Divine Dragon, you see it through to the end! There is no backing out halfway. Besides, for those destined for greatness, what is the sacrifice of one or two useless people?" the Scarlet Reaper taunted again.
The Ice Phoenix Saintess roared in anger, "Die!" and imdiately charged forward.
"Damn it!" Ye Fan exclaid, quickly charging forward as well. Though the Ice Phoenix Saintess was strong, he knew she was no match for the Scarlet Reaper.
Su Qingxue also sprang into action, the three of them rushing the Scarlet Reaper together.
"A bunch of clowns," the Reaper sneered. "Scarlet Reaper!"
In an instant, the sky turned a bloody red, as if a Blood Demon had descended. The trio was instantly shocked. For soone’s power to be so strong it could alter their surroundings ant they had reached the legendary state of Unity of Heaven and Man.
Leading the charge, the Ice Phoenix Saintess suddenly found her vision filled with chaos.
THUD!
She was struck by the Reaper’s palm and sent flying. But he clearly had no intention of letting her go, lunging after her to deliver the final blow.
In that split second, Ye Fan rapidly swung his Yuanhong Sword, unleashing two powerful Sword Qi strikes straight at the Reaper.
The Scarlet Reaper dodged swiftly, flicking a strand of his scarlet killing aura. It struck Ye Fan’s shoulder and exploded into a mist of blood.
Ye Fan let out a muffled grunt.
Finally, Su Qingxue attacked, striking with her palm and unleashing Fla Sparrow Annihilation.
"Finally, a worthy opponent!" Brimming with interest, the Scarlet Reaper t her palm with his own. Su Qingxue staggered backward, while the Reaper only retreated a step or two before steadying himself.
Tension filled the air. Only now did the Ice Phoenix Saintess and Su Qingxue realize Ye Fan hadn’t been exaggerating; the Scarlet Reaper was even more terrifying than he had described. Clearly, Ye Fan isn’t a man who shies away from trouble. His analysis was entirely rational.
Ye Fan felt a crushing pressure in his heart. The Scarlet Reaper’s realm isn’t Emperor Level... it’s Supre! The blood-red canopy above us is the Supre Domain, an ability unique to experts of that level!
The Scarlet Reaper looked at the three of them as if they were prey.
In an instant, he attacked, rushing straight for Ye Fan. "You. I failed to kill you back then, but since you’re courting death now, I’ll be happy to oblige!"
He was upon Ye Fan in the blink of an eye. Shocked, Ye Fan had no choice but to retaliate. "Returning to the Sect Sword!"
His sharp sword technique attempted to parry the Reaper’s fierce assault, but it was futile. Enveloped by the scarlet killing aura, Ye Fan could not break through the Supre Domain. In the next mont, the Scarlet Reaper’s palm struck him squarely.
"Argh!"
Ye Fan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was sent flying.
"I’ll kill you!" the Ice Phoenix Saintess shrieked, unleashing the Ice Phoenix Pearl. A massive torrent of Water Elent Power surged toward the Scarlet Reaper.
"So, you found this trinket," the Reaper scoffed. "But a pest is still a pest. Even with the mightiest Divine Artifact, you cannot reverse the inevitable! Scarlet Curtain!"
He blocked the Water Elent Power of the Ice Phoenix Pearl with his own overwhelming Inner Strength. The backlash struck the Ice Phoenix Saintess, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Just then, Su Qingxue made her move. "Fury of the Red Lotus!"
This ti, she unleashed her fiercest and most powerful technique. The attack struck the Scarlet Reaper, sending him tumbling backward before he vanished into the scarlet mist.
The three imdiately grew vigilant. "Form a three-way defense!" Ye Fan said. "He’s using a concealnt technique, so be extrely careful!"
The two won nodded. They focused their senses, but they could no longer detect the Scarlet Reaper’s aura.
