Chapter 360 - 321: Struggling at Death’s Door?

Chapter 360: Chapter 321: Struggling at Death’s Door?

Just as Ye Fan had anticipated, the moment he was struck and sent flying, Ye Long completely let his guard down, even revealing a malicious smile of having vented his resentment.

At this moment, Ye Fan’s telekinetic manipulation of the Xuanye Flying Blade to carry out an assassination took Ye Long completely by surprise, catching him off guard.

As the flying blade shot out, the smile on Ye Long’s face froze, his heart entirely engulfed by the aura of death!

Ye Fan’s attack was so abrupt and devious that Ye Long didn’t have time to locate the sound, let alone use his Consciousness to sense the danger. He could only rely on his experience to identify it was a hidden weapon attack!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Long, leaning on his years of life-and-death combat experience, kept his feet firmly planted on the ground, his body rigid, suddenly leaning back at an angle toward the sky.

His feet as if cast in iron, his body straight like a plank, rising at an angle like a bridge!

——Iron Plate Bridge!

In this critical moment, Ye Long tried to dodge Ye Fan’s hidden weapon attack using the ’Iron Plate Bridge’.

However—

Before Ye Long’s body could fully bend, the streak of white light had already reached his face.

"Zi~"

"Puchi——"

Like the sound of cloth being torn, the sharp Xuanye Flying Blade sliced through Ye Long’s flesh as easily as cutting tofu, shearing off half of his nose, and then, without losing any power, leaving a deep bone-exposing gash across his brow and forehead.

"Sss~"

Blood splattered, obstructing Ye Long’s vision, yet he felt an intense, piercing pain. His face, which had been twisted in a mocking smile, was now covered in blood and filled with terror.

He was very clear that if it weren’t for his extensive combat experience guiding his evasive maneuvers, and had he tried to sense with his Consciousness before acting, he would have already become a soul under Ye Fan’s blade!

Hmm?

Ye Fan, like a kite with its string cut, flying through the air, saw Ye Long evade the lethal strike, feeling his heart sink. Immediately, he hastened to once again imbue his Mind Power into the Xuanye Flying Blade.

"Hoo!"

Under the control of Ye Fan’s Mind Power, the swiftly flying Xuanye Flying Blade returned, suddenly stabbing towards Ye Long from behind.

"Damn it!"

Compared to the previous assassination attempt, although the speed and force of the Xuanye Flying Blade hadn’t diminished, the threat to Ye Long was greatly reduced due to the distance and his heightened alertness. All he did was snort coldly, his body lifted, stepping nimbly aside to easily evade.

"Bang——"

Meanwhile, Ye Fan, having suffered internal injuries that caused a complete upheaval of his vital energy, lost control over his body and crashed heavily to the ground, losing control of the Xuanye Flying Blade in the process.

"Clang——"

Without Ye Fan’s Mind Power guiding it, the Xuanye Flying Blade fell in a slant under the pull of Earth’s gravity, landing on the marble floor with a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Ye Fan didn’t rush to retrieve the out-of-control Xuanye Flying Blade; instead, he focused on stabilizing the vital energy in his body first. Then, he stimulated his Power and circulated it along the route of the Grand Circulation, allowing the Pure Yang Qi within the Power to heal his injuries.

Since he was only an Early Innate Martial Artist, Ye Fan’s understanding of Martial Arts was inferior to Ye Long’s, and so was his physical strength.

This directly led to his injuries being far more severe than those Ye Long had previously sustained. He had completely lost his fighting capability and even found it difficult to control his own body.

In such a situation, if he couldn’t recover from his injuries quickly, he would be utterly killed by Ye Long!

On the other side, Ye Long stood up with his face a bloody, terrifying mess.

Seemingly perceiving that Ye Fan had completely lost his ability to fight, Ye Long didn’t rush to attack or seek revenge. Instead, he quickly took out a low-level Golden Healing Pill and squeezed it lightly.

"Crack——"

With the squeeze, the Golden Healing Pill shattered into powder.

Ye Long closed his eyes, grabbed the powder, and sprinkled it onto his face.

"Sss~"

Soon, the powder penetrated the wound, and the piercing pain caused Ye Long to involuntarily inhale sharply. His body trembled violently, and his fists clenched with a crackling sound!

Since it was applied externally, the healing properties of the Golden Healing Pill acted quickly. The wounds on Ye Long’s face began to heal, and the bleeding stopped.

"You damn bastard, you almost killed me! Just by that much!"

Feeling the wound closing up, Ye Long’s rage completely erupted. He stared at Ye Fan with eyes blazing like a wounded beast and growled menacingly, "I’m going to break your body into a thousand pieces!"

As he spoke, a terrifying murderous intent surged from Ye Long.

Thirty meters away, Ye Fan, who was struggling to stabilize his vital energy and heal his wounds, felt Ye Long’s killing intent and tensed up.

Immediately, he divided his Consciousness in two, one part continuing to direct his Power to circulate along the route of the Grand Circulation, while the other focused on the Ghostly Gourd in his sleeve.

Under the influence of Mind Power, the Ghostly Gourd swiftly flew out of the sleeve, floating in front of Ye Fan.

Whoosh!

Quickly, Mind Power entered the Ghostly Gourd, activating the Formation inside, and a beam of black light suddenly brightened.

Wooo wooo! Wooo wooo!

The black light flashed, and the Evil Yin Qi stored within the Ghostly Gourd burst forth, transforming into a stream of yin wind that swept towards Ye Long in the distance.

As the yin wind howled, Ye Long, burning with rage, felt as if he had been plunged into the Nine Nether Abyss, surrounded by the wails of countless evil ghosts rushing at him.

"Break for me!"

Facing the onslaught of Evil Yin Qi, Ye Long roared, and his flagging War Intent surged once more. An invisible force of Blood Qi burst from the top of his head, turning into a torrent that rushed towards the yin wind.

With that forceful rush, the yin wind scattered, turning into strands of Evil Yin Qi, many of which were directly incinerated by the Blood Qi that emerged from Ye Long, leaving no trace behind.

"Outcast, stop struggling, I will let you die in despair!"

Ye Long smirked coldly after shattering Ye Fan’s Evil Yin Qi attack and strode toward Ye Fan with steady and forceful steps. With each step he took, the marble floor beneath him would crack, creating a mighty sound.

It seemed as if, to vent the anger in his heart, he was deliberately using this approach to make Ye Fan experience the fear before death!

"Disperse!"

Seeing that Ye Long wasn’t rushing to kill him, Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, with a thought, streams of Pure Yang Qi suddenly separated from his power. Under the control of Ye Fan’s will, they transformed into fine threads, enveloping his viscera and lungs.

Immediately, those streams of Pure Yang Qi furiously surged into Ye Fan’s organs, quickly healing his injuries.

"Pu-chi—"

Under the healing of the Pure Yang Qi, the blood qi within Ye Fan’s body stabilized a great deal, and his internal injuries gradually improved. He then spat out a mouthful of black blood.

With the black blood spat out, Ye Fan felt a trace of strength return to his previously weak body, and he could essentially control his body again, but he still could not rely on his body to fight!

Hmm?

Witnessing this scene, Ye Long’s pupils suddenly dilated, and a few more shocks surged between his brows.

As a Peak Innate strong person, he was well aware that once a cultivator suffered internal injuries, coagulated blood would form within the body. If the coagulated blood could not be expelled, the internal injuries would not heal.

At this moment, Ye Fan spitting out coagulated blood proved that his internal injuries were recovering.

This was completely beyond his expectation!

After all, he hadn’t seen Ye Fan take any Healing Pills just before!

In shock, Ye Long suddenly thought that not only did the two Jade Beads Ye Fan gave to Ye Yuanshan contain Pure Yang Qi, but Ye Fan also said that they were just casually made trinkets.

"Could it be that he is the Extremely Yang Body, a rare existence between heaven and earth?"

The thought suddenly surged in Ye Long’s mind.

"Yes!"

"If he wasn’t the Extremely Yang Body, it wouldn’t be possible for him to easily gather Pure Yang Qi, nor would it be possible for him to heal internal injuries and expel the coagulated blood within such a short period!"

The next moment.

Ye Long had his answer.

Although he couldn’t believe that Ye Fan was the extremely rare Pure Yang Body, reason told him that this was the only explanation for the bizarre situation at hand.

"No need to struggle, all your struggles are in vain!"

After understanding this, Ye Long sneered coldly and then... suddenly accelerated!

Swoosh!

Sensing this, Ye Fan knew that danger was looming and dared not delay, hastily forming Seals with both hands.

"Converge!"

As the Seal was struck, Ye Fan shouted in a low voice.

"Woo woo woo~"

The howling sound of the Yin wind rose again. The Evil Yin Qi that had been dissipated by Ye Long, under the manipulation of Ye Fan, once again gathered together.

Hmm?

Ye Long’s consciousness trembled, and he suddenly felt the scene before him change. Darkness enveloped him, and he could not see his own hands. Then, a monster made up of thousands upon thousands of Yin Demons appeared before him!

The monster was more than ten meters tall, with a terrifying expression and robust limbs. It held a pitch-black saber in its hand, black smoke billowing around it. Those black smokes turned into thousands of Yin Demons, showing their fierce faces and wailing as if they were about to claim Ye Long’s life.

The Evil Yin Demon!

At a critical moment, Ye Fan created the illusion technique ’Evil Yin Demon’ with the Ghostly Gourd, one of his magic skills.

As soon as the Evil Yin Demon appeared, it wielded its saber with both hands and chopped down at Ye Long with full strength!

"Illusion attacks pose no threat to me, break!"

Faced with the attack of the Evil Yin Demon, Ye Long remained firm as a rock, roared loudly to bolster his War Intent, and instantly dispelled the surging Evil Yin Demon.

Noticing this, Ye Fan was not surprised.

After all, Yanhuang Fist was most suitable for battlefield combat. During battle, one would face death without fear, advance bravely with a heart as steady as a rock, possessing an especially strong will, and could easily break illusions.

Since the illusion attack had failed, while Ye Fan hastily healed, his Consciousness moved again, a Golden Light flashed between his eyebrows, and an invisible Mind Power shot rapidly toward Ye Long.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"

Suddenly, Ye Long felt a slight tremble in his heart, immediately understood it was a Mind Attack, and, with a cold snort, defended his Consciousness with his strong will. A terrifying intent of war emerged from his spirit, dissipating Ye Fan’s Mind Attack into nothingness.

After the first attack failed, Ye Fan did not pause and launched another Mind Attack, even more fierce than before!

"I want to see just how much Mind Power you have!"

As a Peak Innate strong person, Ye Long knew very well that for a Magician to break through an opponent’s Consciousness with Mind Power, not only did their own Consciousness and Mind Power need to be far stronger than the opponent’s, but also, if the opponent’s will was strong, it was only possible to overwhelm the opponent with quantity!

Thus, the one being attacked merely had to resist with their will, while the Magician would have to continually deplete their Mind Power!

Once the Mind Power was exhausted, it would be as if the opponent had been sentenced to death!

Knowing all this, Ye Long saw Ye Fan’s current actions as nothing more than the final struggles of a dying man, unable to change the outcome!
