Chapter 456: Chapter 405 Father and Son Join Forces to Fight the Enemy Together Part One

At the moment Ye Wenhao slammed on the brakes urgently, Ye Fan, along with Liu Chuanjun and Rock, all heard the noise.

In addition, due to their position being less than a kilometer away from the bottom of the mountain in a straight line, they could all sense Ye Wenhao’s presence.

"It’s father!"

Ye Fan instantly recognized that it was his father Ye Wenhao’s voice, causing his complexion to change slightly!

Huh?

Liu Chuanjun had been keenly sensing Ye Wenhao’s breath, trying to gauge Ye Wenhao’s strength, when he suddenly noticed the change in Ye Fan’s expression and had a hunch about something.

"Rock, if nothing goes wrong, the person coming is this kid’s father, Ye Wenhao!"

Liu Chuanjun informed Rock, yet his gaze remained on Ye Fan, attempting to confirm his guess through Ye Fan’s facial expressions.

Ye Wenhao?!

Rock’s face couldn’t help but change slightly when he heard this name.

As a half-step War God realm strong man and a prominent figure in the Giant Axe Organization, he had long heard of Ye Wenhao’s great reputation, knew that Ye Wenhao was one of Huaxia’s most representative red descendants, and was also aware that Ye Wenhao had once ranked first on the Qing bang!

Before undertaking the mission to enter the Southeast Asia Special Zone, he had also carefully looked into Ye Wenhao’s information and learned about Ye Wenhao’s feat of killing the Wudang Grand Elder Murong Gu!

Beyond that, he remembered distinctly according to the deal with Chen Feilian, that after killing Ye Fan, he, Zorro, and Liu Chuanjun were supposed to join forces and cripple Ye Wenhao’s Kung Fu!

Now, not only was Ye Fan safe and sound, but Zorro had died and Ye Wenhao had suddenly arrived...

This was definitely not good news for him and Liu Chuanjun!

"Rock, I trust you are aware of the incident where Ye Wenhao killed a half-step War God realm fighter with the strength of a Level 8 Warrior."

Seeing Rock’s facial expression change and the tension it revealed, Liu Chuanjun cautioned, "If we don’t take action to kill this kid now, we might miss our chance!"

Rock raised his eyebrows and said nothing, which was as good as agreeing with Liu Chuanjun.

Even, in his view, if Ye Wenhao and Ye Fan were to join forces, he and Liu Chuanjun would likely be at a disadvantage!

"Liu Chuanjun, you are stronger than me, you have better chances of killing this kid, and it would save time as well, so you make the first move," Rock proposed, understanding the situation.

"Fine, but as I said before, that high-level magical artifact on this kid is mine!"

Seemingly discerning that Rock was hesitant to take the lead, Liu Chuanjun gritted his teeth and agreed.

Firstly, as Rock said, his strength was somewhat stronger, and he should make the first move; secondly, as a Japanese cultivator inheriting the spirit of the Samurai from ancient assassins and having an outstanding Martial Arts Will among cultivators in the same realm, and finally, being one of the most promising cultivators in Japan who could potentially become the next Ninja God, his Martial Arts Will was extremely resolute.

If he chose to retreat fearing the risks, it would leave a shadow in his heart, shaking his Martial Arts Will, which could adversely affect his future cultivation and potentially preclude him from ever entering the Ninja God realm!

This was something he truly did not want to see!

Therefore, he would rather face the risk of both sides being injured and Rock gaining an advantage to make the first move against Ye Fan, aiming to kill him, therefore clearing his own path.

This is bad!

Watching Liu Chuanjun and Rock reach an agreement, Ye Fan’s heart sank, his body tensed up, his mind highly concentrated, quickly contemplating a countermeasure.

However—

This time.

Liu Chuanjun did not give Ye Fan a chance!

Just as Ye Fan was contemplating his response, Liu Chuanjun leaped forward, his hands gripping the sword, using the momentum of his descent, and he slashed down with full force at Ye Fan!

—Slashing!

When Liu Chuanjun made a move, it was the slashing technique that was extremely well-known in Japan’s Cultivation World.

"Zi~"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As Liu Chuanjun’s blade slashed through, the air was instantly split open, and where the blade passed, the air exploded and the blade wind howled, with a tremendous momentum as if it could split even a mountain peak!

Facing Liu Chuanjun’s terrifying slash, Ye Fan felt as if he had been dragged into an isolated world, surrounded by blade shadows, unable to dodge no matter how he tried, doomed to become a soul under Liu Chuanjun’s blade!

It was just a slash, but Liu Chuanjun had already shaken Ye Fan’s consciousness, imposing immense pressure on Ye Fan!

To Ye Fan, although he was only a cultivator in the Innate Great Success realm, his magic cultivation was not weaker than that of an Innate Peak stage magician. Additionally, with his dual cultivation of magic and martial arts complementing each other, his consciousness was far stronger than that of an Innate Peak stage magician.

Furthermore, since dispelling his mental block and undergoing several life and death trials, with the help of the mysterious Crimson Golden Crown, his spiritual actions had reached a new realm, making his consciousness so strong that even compared to an Innate Great Perfection Cultivator, he was not inferior!

And... because magicians cultivate the spirit while martial artists cultivate the body, a magician’s consciousness is far stronger than that of a martial artist of the same realm—even comparable to the consciousness strength of martial artists two realms higher!

In such a situation, even comparing consciousness strength alone, Ye Fan was not at all inferior to a half-step Gang Qi realm martial artist!

"My heart is as firm as a rock!"

Then, faced with the intimidation of Liu Chuanjun’s slash, Ye Fan quickly steadied his consciousness, concentrated his mind power, and shouted in his mind.

As he shouted, the intimidation dispersed!

Following Ye Fan’s shout, the deterrence brought by Liu Chuanjun’s slash vanished completely.

Immediately after, without any delay, Ye Fan activated the Ghost Ring while harnessing his power to violently retreat!

"Clang!"

Liu Chuanjun’s Eastern Blade turned into a streak of white light, striking the phantom left by Ye Fan’s rapid retreat, and then it smashed into the asphalt road, carving out a deep gash and sending sparks flying.

When Liu Chuanjun’s slash missed, Rock took advantage of the moment Ye Fan dodged, appearing behind Ye Fan like a ghost, his right fist swinging out fiercely!

"Whoosh!"

As Rock punched, a stream of Gang Qi shot out from his fist like a laser from a gun, blasting toward Ye Fan’s head!

Ye Fan had anticipated that Rock would seize this opportunity to launch a sneak attack and had prepared his defenses. Amid his rapid retreat, his body slipped like a slippery eel, suddenly changing direction and flashing to the side!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The Gang Qi from Rock’s punch whistled past Ye Fan’s body. Wherever the Gang Qi passed, the air seemed to burst, and the sound of air exploding was incessant.

Ye Fan felt his face scorch as if seared by fierce fire, bringing a burning pain, but fortunately, he wasn’t injured, though it was extremely perilous.

"Bastard!"

Seeing Ye Fan narrowly dodge Rock’s sneak attack, Liu Chuanjun cursed in anger.

With his strength, he could naturally tell that Rock’s punch just now wasn’t with full force but was rather circumspect, ready to retract his fist at any time to avoid Ye Fan’s counterattack.

Indeed, that was the case.

Because Ye Fan had killed Zorro and shown previous arrogance and desperation, Rock harbored deep wariness towards Ye Fan. Unlike Liu Chuanjun, who broke the spiritual shackles aiming to kill Ye Fan with one strike, Rock, as Liu Chuanjun pointed out, always had a way out planned during his attack to avoid being injured by Ye Fan’s counter.

Not only did Liu Chuanjun see this, but Ye Fan was also crystal clear about it. Hearing Liu Chuanjun speak up, Ye Fan deliberately sneered, "Liu Chuan, don’t just talk about him. Are you not also holding back your full strength?"

"Hey, kid, although I don’t know how you killed Zorro, from our brief exchange just now, I can tell that you don’t have the strength to kill both of us. Otherwise, you could have taken advantage of Rock’s hesitation to strike and killed Rock!" Liu Chuanjun stared coldly at Ye Fan, speaking darkly, though he wasn’t entirely sure of it.

"If I had struck to kill him, I would likely be dead under your blade by now, right?"

Ye Fan, unfazed, coldly responded, "You seemed to take the initiative to strike but held back, not wanting to fight me desperately, hoping instead to use him as cannon fodder. Why mask it with such pretense?"

"Liu Chuanjun, if you pull any more tricks, I’m out. You can handle him alone!"

Rock wasn’t a fool. He had already suspected that Liu Chuanjun hadn’t given his all, and hearing Ye Fan say this, he immediately felt calculated by Liu Chuanjun.

"Rock, this kid is just bluffing us. Don’t fall for his tricks!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chuanjun sharply shouted, then sensing Ye Wenhao’s rapidly approaching presence, yelled, "This time, I will strike with all my strength, and you must too, or we truly won’t have another chance!"

Rock remained silent, seemingly waiting for Liu Chuanjun to make a real move.

"To your death!"

Seeing this, Liu Chuanjun no longer wasted words, and with a fierce shout, his momentum surged, and his intent to fight blazed.

With the shout, his figure moved!

"Snap! Snap!"

Liu Chuanjun powered up from his feet, stepping on the ground in succession, using the rebound force to leap into the air, both hands gripping the blade, thrusting toward Ye Fan.

—Thrust!

This thrust, with the renowned Eastern Blade technique, was a lethal strike aimed at killing Ye Fan—Liu Chuanjun now held nothing back. His entire being merged perfectly with the Eastern Blade in his hands, attaining the swordsman’s dream of unity with the blade, like an ancient assassin’s deadly blow, intent on slaying his target!

In the air, he maximized his speed to an extent where one couldn’t clearly see his figure, only the flickering white light of the blade, like a shooting star passing through.

At that moment, he was the blade, and the blade was him, indistinguishable from each other.

"Swoosh!"

Facing Liu Chuanjun’s full-powered strike, Ye Fan’s mind moved, and a Xuan Ye Flying Blade, under the control of mind power, broke out from his sleeve, turning into a streak of white light, swiftly shooting toward Liu Chuanjun.

"Hmph!"

Liu Chuanjun snorted coldly, changing his thrust to a slash, chopping directly at the oncoming Xuan Ye Flying Blade with terrifying force that sent the flying knife whirling away.

Although he did that, Ye Fan’s flying knife assassination directly broke Liu Chuanjun’s unity with his blade, slowing down Liu Chuanjun’s speed and winning Ye Fan a chance to dodge.

However—

Without waiting for Ye Fan to escape, Rock flashed his figure and appeared behind Ye Fan like a ghost again, his palm striking toward the back of Ye Fan’s head.

This time.

Rock held nothing back, striking with all his might, intent on killing Ye Fan!

"You’re seeking death!!"

Just then.

A furious shout suddenly resounded through the heavens.

A figure, like a War God descending from the sky, punched toward Rock’s back heart!

In the nick of time, Ye Wenhao arrived just in time!
