Chapter 910: Chapter 801: Enemies Meet, Especially Furious!

When Ye Fan defeated Zorro with overwhelming force and crippled his cultivation, he encountered a perilous assassination attempt.

If not for his keen mental perception, sensing the presence of killing intent in advance, he would have surely been stabbed by the blade, facing either grave injuries or death — truly, it was a moment of extreme danger!

Swish!

Ye Fan steadied his stance, his gaze sharp as lightning, looking forward.

What met Ye Fan’s eyes was a young man holding a dagger.

The young man was clad in a black robe, his hair, face, and the robe all stained with blood, as if he’d been soaked in a blood pool, exuding an aura of evil.

"Xue Chou?"

Among the ten finalists, besides the six unparalleled geniuses like Zorro, only Ye Fan, Doug, Su Liuli, and Xue Chou participated.

Ye Fan had long met and even confronted the six geniuses like Zorro, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with them. Thus, he could ascertain that the person before him was the mysterious Xue Chou.

"To think you could avoid my ambush, no wonder you appeared so strong and arrogant before the match!"

Xue Chou spoke coldly, ignoring Ye Fan’s crippling of Zorro and instead directly mentioning Ye Fan’s evasion of his assassination, with a hint of astonishment in his words.

On one hand, he was confident Zorro was not his match; Ye Fan’s crippling of Zorro proved nothing. More importantly, he knew that a person’s vigilance would completely relax the moment after defeating an enemy, making them most vulnerable to ambush. Ye Fan dodging his assassination was somewhat unexpected!

"If I remember correctly, we previously had no interactions, much less enmity. Even by the rules, eliminating a contestant to gain their points should not warrant such hostility."

As Xue Chou’s words rang in his ears, Ye Fan slightly frowned. He could sense Xue Chou’s arrogance, and simultaneously feel the intense hatred and killing intent in Xue Chou’s eyes!

This struck him as peculiar!

Because, as he himself noted, if Zorro merely intended to kill him for points, he would not exhibit such intense hatred.

Such hatred only emerges when lifelong enemies meet!

Moreover... a mortal enemy!

"Your observation skills are good, but it doesn’t matter, the outcome will not change—my Blood Saber will consecrate your soul!"

Xue Chou sneered. For him, participating in the Hidden God List competition and striving for a rank was secondary; his most important objective was to accomplish the task assigned by Chen Daozang — to kill Ye Fan during the competition.

Achieving the greatest benefit at the smallest cost!

That’s his modus operandi.

Originally, he intended to slice Ye Fan during a moment of negligence to fulfill Chen Daozang’s assignment. But since Ye Fan evaded the previous assassination, he didn’t mind killing him outright in a fair duel.

As if Ye Fan was merely a fish on the chopping block, only requiring a bit more effort!

"You remained inconspicuous before the match, with no one discovering your true strength, likely using some kind of secret technique or magic artifact to obscure your presence and hide your strength — did you do all this just to kill me?"

Ye Fan frowned, staring intently at Xue Chou.

Though Xue Chou’s displayed prowess outmatched Zorro, he felt indifferent; his only concern was why Xue Chou bore such resentment towards him, going so far as to hide his strength and employ such despicable means.

"Since you don’t want to die without knowing why, I’ll grant your small request — your guess is entirely correct."

Xue Chou sneered again, his blood energy began to surge, even spilling out, enveloping his surroundings like a crimson shield.

"Who exactly are you?"

Ye Fan furrowed his brows tighter, logic told him Xue Chou’s faction certainly had ties with him, but he could not determine from which adversarial side Xue Chou came.

"Chen Daozang is my godfather."

Xue Chou responded coldly, "Is there anything else you wish to ask? If not, then prepare to die!"

"So that’s it!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was first stunned, then the killing intent exploded instantly, and the hatred in his eyes burned like a raging fire. _{fr.e ewe.bno.vel .com}

Yes...

It was hatred!

For in this world, if Ye Fan hated anyone most, Chen Daozang would undoubtedly top the list.

It was Chen Daozang who pushed his biological mother off a cliff, leaving her fate uncertain to this day!

It was Chen Daozang who issued threats to kill his father, Ye Wenhao, and wipe out the Ye Family, even acting on it until thwarted by Chu Xuanji in a bloody fight!

It was also Chen Daozang who killed Su Liuli’s master, Bodhi Wu Yin, leading to Chu Xuanji nearly losing all his cultivation, subjected to the world’s scorn and ridicule!

All this made Ye Fan harbor an intense enmity toward Chen Daozang, dreaming of reducing him to ashes!

Thus, he was racing against time, fiercely cultivating, and enduring life-and-death trials to soon enhance his power, kill Chen Daozang, and eradicate the Qinghong Organization from Earth!

In such a scenario, learning that Xue Chou was Chen Daozang’s adopted son, he spared no effort in expressing his hatred.

"Setting aside your earlier assassination attempt, merely your identity means you aren’t leaving here alive today!"

Ye Fan spoke once more, the tangibility of his killing intent as sharp as a blade, deadlocked on Xue Chou!

A dragon has a reverse scale; touching it means death!

Before this, Xue Chou and he had no grudges, not even an intersection, but their identities determined that only one of them could leave here alive!

Even if Xue Chou fled to the ends of the earth, he would kill him!

"Do you think defeating the Ross family’s wastrel or narrowly escaping my ambush means you can kill me?"

Xue Chou coldly stared at Ye Fan, grinning sinisterly. His voice was raspy and low, making one’s skin crawl, "Mark my words, I’ve already promised my godfather to present your head to him, so kindly lend me your head!"

"Poo—"

Zorro was already on the brink of death, pleading with Ye Fan to kill him. Upon hearing Xue Chou call him a cripple, he was suddenly enraged to the point of spitting out three mouthfuls of blood. Then his head tilted to the side, and he collapsed to the ground in a faint!

"Hoo~ hoo~"

At the same time, the Holy Land was filled with wind, a biting cold sweeping across the desolate ground, stirring up fallen leaves that danced in the sky, as if to echo the chilling words of Xue Chou.

The sudden gust blew wildly, causing the clothes of Ye Fan and Xue Chou to flap loudly.

Xue Chou’s hair, soaked with blood, clung tightly together, flying in the fierce wind.

Standing downwind, Ye Fan squinted at Xue Chou, recalling what Chen Daozang had done, and the murderous intent in his heart continued to rise, even feeling an urge to howl up at the sky!

In the gale, Ye Fan and Xue Chou faced each other, a mere hundred meters apart, with Zorro and Su Liuli between them.

Among them, Zorro had fainted from Xue Chou’s words.

Meanwhile, Su Liuli had somehow opened her eyes and discerned the situation on the field.

Due to her previous unconsciousness, she did not know Xue Chou’s identity, but she was aware that the one confronting Ye Fan was Xue Chou, and she could sense that Xue Chou’s strength was not weaker than Zorro’s before!

This gave her a slight amount of worry.

On one hand, although she didn’t witness how Ye Fan defeated Zorro, she judged that Ye Fan had to have expended some Gang Qi and energy, whereas Xue Chou seemed full of momentum and in a peak state!

On the other hand, Xue Chou’s origins were too mysterious; no one knew his means, nor did they know how strong he truly was.

The unknown always breeds fear.

Su Liuli believed in Ye Fan’s strength, though fear was absent, worry was inevitable.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Ye Fan gave Su Liuli a reassuring look, then with a wave of his hand, unleashed a Gang Qi, which transformed into a large net, enveloping Su Liuli and the Yanhuang Furnace, sending them to a safe area.

"Bang—"

After accomplishing this, Ye Fan pondered briefly, then raised his hand again to unleash a Gang Qi, which turned the unconscious Zorro into a pile of minced meat.

"Are you worried I’ll kill him first and take his points?"

Seeing this scene, Xue Chou sneered, "As long as I kill you, all of your points will be mine; there’s no need for me to make another move."

No reply followed.

This time, Ye Fan laughed outright.

Even as Xue Chou eyed him like a tiger, ready to strike at any moment, he laughed!

"I really admire you for being able to laugh when you’re at the verge of death!"

Xue Chou’s gaze was sharp as a blade, fixated on Ye Fan’s eyes, trying to see fear within them.

Even just a hint!

However, he was disappointed. Ye Fan’s eyes were as deep as a lagoon, without a trace of fear, only confidence and disdain remained!

"If there was ever an opportunity for you to kill me, just now was your only chance," Ye Fan responded.

"Ridiculous!"

Xue Chou smirked with derision, his aura soaring to its peak, as if he were an Asura Killing God emerging from Hell, his being exuding death and bloody malevolence.

"Oh, really?"

Ye Fan was not to be outdone, speaking as the blood and Gang Qi within him surged wildly, his aura continuously climbing.

Hmm?

Ye Fan’s sudden transformation made Xue Chou’s pupils shrink to the most dangerous pinpoints!

His reason told him that Ye Fan’s strength was likely far more formidable than he had imagined, and he must not underestimate him.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

As if to corroborate Xue Chou’s suspicion, Ye Fan abruptly stepped forward, striding towards Xue Chou, causing the ground at his feet to explode, the entire earth shaking.

At this moment.

He was like a War God descending to the mortal realm, an invincible aura emanating from his being, spreading in all directions.

At this moment.

For the first time, he revealed his true strength.

Because...

He decided to demolish Xue Chou in the most domineering way possible!
