Not long after Yun Fan left, three people found Tang Tianpeng's body.
Two men and one woman, all of them strong. At this moment, they were examining Tang Tianpeng's corpse.
"Killed in one strike! It seems the opponent is very powerful!"
The leading man's face darkened. He was Tang Hao, the senior disciple of the Tang Sect and the strongest prodigy dispatched by the Tang Sect this time.
"What about the killer's strength?"
The woman asked.
Tang Tianhao replied, "Not beneath mine!"
"What?"
The two were shocked. They were both from the Tang Sect and naturally understood how strong Tang Hao was. He had stepped into the Xiantian realm many years ago.
He was definitely a strong expert in the middle Xiantian stage. They never expected the opponent to be so powerful.
"Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out!"
Tang Tianhao said, "Because the opponent understood my Tang Sect's techniques too well, coupled with Tianpeng's lack of defense and his overconfidence, he was killed in one move!"
Then, Tang Tianhao said, "I didn't expect a young brat from Guigu to possess such strength. It seems we underestimated him after all!"
This time, many hidden sects dispatched numerous prodigies, all wanting to be the first to kill Yun Fan. Unexpectedly, the first battle ended in failure.
This was a definite disgrace to so many hidden sects.
At this moment, Tang Tianhao said, "You two, increase your efforts. You must find him in advance! We absolutely cannot let others snatch this credit!"
"Yes!"
The three rolled up Tang Tianpeng's body and disappeared into the night.
Little did they know, Yun Fan, who was hiding in the dark, emerged at this moment.
"It seems there are quite a few people who want to kill me!"
Yun Fan sneered in his heart. The hidden sects were determined to kill him and break the rules of the past.
This time, he decided not to be passive. That's right, he would take the initiative.
Only by taking the initiative would his chances of victory be greater, as there were too many strong experts dispatched by the opponent this time.
If he remained passive, unexpected changes might occur.
...
A few days later, more and more prodigies arrived in Jinling.
At this time, Yun Fan took the initiative to attack. Of course, none of his senior sisters were dispatched. Firstly, Yun Fan didn't want others to get involved.
Secondly, his three senior sisters, Suzaku, and Lin Tianxin had already returned to Jiangnan.
Their original intention for returning to Jiangnan was to strengthen the Black Dragon Society, as the Black Dragon Society might become a great asset to Yun Fan now.
Secondly, Yun Fan didn't want Lin Tianxin and Suzaku to be involved.
At this time, him acting alone was often the best scenario.
Tonight, Tang Tianhao and his two subordinates had already located Yun Fan's residence, so they had infiltrated at this moment.
This was a quiet courtyard. As soon as the three arrived, Yun Fan, who was in the dark, attacked. Before Tang Tianhao's two subordinates could react, they were killed by Yun Fan.
Yun Fan had intended to attack earlier, but that place was too conspicuous. If he hadn't killed them in one strike, fighting there would have affected the civilians.
This was something Yun Fan was unwilling to see, so he had lured the three here.
The Tang Sect would be the first hidden sect he would use to establish his authority.
"Yun Fan!"
Tang Tianhao roared at Yun Fan. Yun Fan's speed of attack was too fast just now. Even if he wanted to stop it, he was powerless. Yun Fan had succeeded.
Now he wished he could kill Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Tang Sect, you really have guts! Daring to be the first scapegoat!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianhao said coldly to Yun Fan, "Tonight, I will surely kill you. My Tang Sect will be the first to achieve merit!"
This was his goal. Although several people from the sect had died, as long as he could kill Yun Fan, the deaths of a few people were nothing.
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan said calmly, "Now it's just you and me. Let's have a one-on-one battle between men!"
"That's exactly what I intend!"
Tang Tianhao was fierce and not one for words. He charged directly at Yun Fan.
He was not comparable to Tang Tianpeng and was extremely wary of Yun Fan. Therefore, in the first round of their engagement, no victor was decided. Both retreated several steps before stabilizing themselves.
He knew that Yun Fan was very familiar with the Tang Sect's supreme skills, so he was extremely cautious when fighting him.
"Yun Fan, do you think you won't die just because you understand my Tang Sect's supreme skills?"
With that, he attacked Yun Fan again, but this time he changed his stance, fighting Yun Fan with the Tang Sect's peerless martial arts.
However, to his surprise, this time, Yun Fan did not use the Tang Sect's supreme skills. Instead, his entire body underwent a transformation.
Next, Tang Tianhao flew out dozens of silver needles, each hitting Yun Fan.
"Very good!"
Tang Tianhao laughed wildly. Indeed, to deal with Yun Fan, only by surprise could he achieve a direct hit. And the silver needles just now, dozens of them, meant Yun Fan was surely dead.
At this moment, he quickly walked towards Yun Fan, wanting to see if Yun Fan was dead or not.
However, in the dark night, Yun Fan suddenly struck out with a palm.
"Boom!"
This palm strike hit him directly.
"Pfft!"
Tang Tianhao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Yun Fan in shock.
"You're fine?"
Yun Fan said, "Of course!"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Tang Tianhao said in disbelief. He had great confidence in the Tang Sect's supreme skills. All of them hit Yun Fan, yet Yun Fan was still unharmed, completely beyond his expectations.
Yun Fan said, "Actually, none of your needles caused me any damage!"
With that, Yun Fan took off his outer robe and discovered that none of the silver needles had penetrated his muscles.
"Indestructible Body!"
Tang Tianhao looked at Yun Fan in shock. He hadn't expected Yun Fan to have cultivated an Indestructible Body inadvertently.
That's right, although the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poisons were unparalleled in the world, especially their hidden weapons, which were almost impossible to guard against.
But hidden weapons also had their counters, such as the Indestructible Body. It seemed like a defensive martial art, but it could counter his hidden weapons.
Not only did he not cause any harm to Yun Fan, but he also took a palm strike from Yun Fan's counterattack, which almost shattered his heart meridian.
Yun Fan said, "You have some discerning eyes. Although I am proficient in your Tang Sect's supreme skills, I am naturally inferior to you, an insider!"
"Therefore, fighting you without using your Tang Sect's martial arts is the best killing move!"
Hearing this, Tang Tianhao almost vomited blood in frustration. He hadn't expected that after all his calculations, he would still end up in failure.
However, for him, it was not impossible to turn the tables.
He said coldly to Yun Fan, "This time, I will never fall for your trick again!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan sneered and attacked Tang Tianhao proactively.
Tang Tianhao immediately unleashed the Five Poisons Supreme Skill. The Tang Sect's Five Poisons were unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for being driven away by Guigu back then.
The Tang Sect's Five Poisons would have been a terrifying existence. This set of martial arts could only be learned by direct disciples of the Tang Sect. One could imagine Tang Tianhao's status in the Tang Sect, at least as a direct heir.
In an instant, the Five Poisons appeared. The entire courtyard was enveloped by countless poisonous fumes. He was confident that even if Yun Fan had cultivated the Indestructible Body, so what?
Could he defend against his poisonous gas?
An ordinary person would die after even a single breath. He didn't believe Yun Fan possessed such power.
At this very moment, Yun Fan emerged from the poisonous mist, greatly startling Tang Tianhao.
Such extreme speed was completely beyond his expectation.
"Boom!"
After one move, Tang Tianhao was hit again. Unlike before, this time, his injuries were severe.
He asked warily, "How can you be fine?"
"I forgot to tell you, I have already cultivated a body impervious to all poisons, so your Tang Sect's Five Poisons are useless against me!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Tianhao almost spat blood and died. This was completely unscientific!
Are all descendants of Guigu this omnipotent? It seemed like they were deliberately targeting the Tang Sect, which left him speechless.
In fact, he couldn't blame himself. He could only blame the Tang Sect for being too despicable. Therefore, the Heavenly Master had deliberately strengthened Yun Fan's body.
He never expected it to be useful now.
Yun Fan asked, "Are you ready to face death?"
Tang Tianhao took a sharp breath. Although he had been cautious before fighting Yun Fan, he had still made two unavoidable mistakes.
These two mistakes had left him with no possibility of turning the tables.
Now, he had internal injuries, and coupled with Yun Fan's strength, which was not inferior to his peak condition, he was definitely no match for Yun Fan.
"Retreat!"
Tang Tianhao had no hesitation and chose to flee directly.
Yun Fan followed closely behind him. Tonight, he was determined to kill Tang Tianhao.
Tang Tianhao fled like a stray dog. Originally, with his middle Xiantian realm strength, he was not much different from Yun Fan.
He shouldn't have been so vulnerable, but he relied too much on the Tang Sect's methods and neglected his own strength. Coincidentally, Yun Fan could perfectly counter the Tang Sect's methods.
Therefore, he lost so quickly. If, from the very beginning, he had abandoned his tricks and fought Yun Fan with his true strength.
Perhaps, he wouldn't have lost so quickly.
But now, his defeat was a foregone conclusion.
Soon, he was caught up by Yun Fan.
"Since you've come, you don't need to leave. Stay here!"
Yun Fan said to him calmly.
Tang Tianhao was filled with anger at this moment, not expecting to be defeated so thoroughly.
However, he did not panic.
"Actually, you should be more worried about yourself!"
Tang Tianhao said to Yun Fan, "As I was fleeing, I already sent out a signal. My reinforcements will be here to help soon!"
"Then where are your reinforcements?"
Yun Fan pressed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the dark night, standing not far behind him.
This person was very strong, especially the sword light in his hand, which was sharp and gleaming.
"Gu Xiaochen, you damn it, you're finally here!"
Tang Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief. The newcomer was Gu Xiaochen of the Sword Sect. The Tang Sect didn't even rank in the top ten of the hidden sects.
But the Sword Sect was a powerful sect in the top ten. Leaving aside their methods, Gu Xiaochen's strength was definitely much greater than his.
Otherwise, Yun Fan's face wouldn't have shown a look of apprehension.
"Tang Tianhao, how did you get beaten up like this?"
A trace of mockery appeared on Gu Xiaochen's lips.
He knew Tang Tianhao before. Therefore, after entering the secular world, he had allied with Tang Tianhao to search for Yun Fan.
He didn't expect Tang Tianhao to find Yun Fan first without telling him. Judging from Tang Tianhao's pathetic state.
He must have suffered quite a loss at Yun Fan's hands, which was why he contacted him.
Tang Tianhao said coldly, "Of course, I suffered a loss because I was tricked by him!"
"Tricked?"
Gu Xiaochen said disdainfully, "In terms of trickery, who is more ruthless than your Tang Sect?"
Back then, when the Tang Sect was in the secular world, they were arrogant and did all sorts of evil. For the sake of developing poisons, the Tang Sect had used countless innocent lives for experiments.
Therefore, back then, the Tang Sect was specially taken care of by the Heavenly Master and was removed from the list of the top ten sects.
"Stop the nonsense. Let's deal with him together!"
Tang Tianhao glared at Gu Xiaochen.
Gu Xiaochen said, "No need for you to make a move, I'll deal with him!"
With that, he raised his sword and walked step by step towards Yun Fan.
"No, I discovered him first. My Tang Sect deserves some credit!"
Tang Tianhao argued.
But Gu Xiaochen warned, "Do you believe I'll deal with you first, and then kill him?"
As soon as he said this, Tang Tianhao became obedient. After all, he had spent a considerable amount of time with Gu Xiaochen, so he knew what kind of person Gu Xiaochen was.
He was a decisive person who showed no emotion. If he angered Gu Xiaochen, the other party would really kill him.
At this moment, Yun Fan said calmly, "No need to be so troublesome. You two can come at me together! Don't waste my time!"
"I am enough to kill you!"
In an instant, Gu Xiaochen moved, wielding his sword, and struck at Yun Fan with a single sword.
"Swish!"
Sword energy roared. After Yun Fan dodged the sword energy, the large tree behind him was cut in half.
It had to be said that Gu Xiaochen had reached an insurmountable peak in the way of the sword.
At this moment, Yun Fan attacked rapidly, heading straight for Gu Xiaochen. Gu Xiaochen swung his long sword, and each sword strike carried a killing force.
Even Yun Fan could not break through Gu Xiaochen's defense for the time being.
"Be careful, he has cultivated the Indestructible Body!"
Tang Tianhao, who was not far away, reminded him.
Gu Xiaochen said disdainfully, "Under the power of my divine sword, what good is the Indestructible Body? It's no different from mud!"
At this moment, Yun Fan attacked up close and unleashed a punch.
"Bang!"
This punch was perfectly blocked by Gu Xiaochen's long sword, but his long sword was deformed. One could imagine how powerful this punch was.
"Hmph!"
Gu Xiaochen snorted.
"Sword Breaking Art!"
He swung the long sword in his hand casually, but each swing was very regular, capable of both offense and defense at close and long range.
Yun Fan could not get close.
Gu Xiaochen said playfully, "I didn't expect the descendant of Guigu to have such little strength. I overestimated your Guigu sect!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan pretended to be angry and attacked him. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Die!"
Gu Xiaochen was extremely proud. If things continued like this, killing Yun Fan was a certainty.
However, at this very moment, Yun Fan changed direction, abandoning Gu Xiaochen and attacking Tang Tianhao.
"What?"
Tang Tianhao was instantly shocked. He didn't expect Yun Fan's target to be him, which was completely beyond his anticipation.
"Not good!"
A hint of anger flashed across Gu Xiaochen's face. He didn't expect Yun Fan to use a feint.
"Boom!"
With one move, Tang Tianhao suffered a heavy blow from Yun Fan again.
"Pfft!"
Tang Tianhao was sent flying backward, on the verge of death.
As Tang Tianhao landed, Yun Fan finally felt at ease and walked towards Gu Xiaochen.
In fact, he hadn't planned this from the beginning. It was because he sensed Tang Tianhao's intention to ambush from behind.
Therefore, he decided to strike first and end Tang Tianhao's life.
He said to Gu Xiaochen, "Now it's time for our battle!"
Gu Xiaochen looked at the unconscious Tang Tianhao and knew that this guy was finished. Even if he survived, he would become a cripple.
"Are all descendants of Guigu so despicable and shameless?"
He asked Yun Fan coldly.
Yun Fan responded indifferently, "I am not despicable and shameless. I attacked him openly, but he couldn't withstand my killing blow. How can it be considered an ambush?"
"Well said, you sharp-tongued brat!"
Gu Xiaochen said with killing intent, "However, I am not like the trash Tang Tianhao. When I make a move, it is a fatal blow!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Fan said calmly, "Don't think that just because I didn't have the upper hand earlier means I can't defeat you. I was just being cautious of the threat from behind and couldn't go all out. Now that there is no threat from behind, you are not my opponent!"
"Arrogant!"
In an instant, Gu Xiaochen, who was enraged, charged at Yun Fan.
He was confident in his sword and was sure he could kill Yun Fan.
But who would have thought that at this moment, Yun Fan displayed speed beyond his limits, and before he knew it, he was behind him.
"Huh?"
Just as Gu Xiaochen was wondering, Yun Fan struck him with a palm. Instantly, Gu Xiaochen felt his internal organs churning.
In the counterattack, Yun Fan was hit by his sword. Although it only grazed his skin, it made Yun Fan's face show a hint of apprehension.
He hadn't expected Gu Xiaochen's sword energy to be so sharp that it directly pierced his skin. The Indestructible Body seemed to have become a decoration.
"There's something wrong with his sword!"
Yun Fan immediately sensed that there was something wrong with Gu Xiaochen's sword. This sword was definitely not an ordinary item, but an unparalleled sword that could cut through iron like mud.
"How does the cold light taste?"
Gu Xiaochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Yun Fan mockingly.
Although he was injured, Yun Fan had not gained an advantage. His sword was too sharp.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "This sword is good. After tonight, it will be mine!"
"So, the Guigu sect is not only mediocre in strength but also arrogant and ignorant!"
Gu Xiaochen said disdainfully, "I have already mastered the Sword Sect's supreme skills to the eighth level. What do you have to compete with me?"
Yun Fan said, "This!"
With that, he picked up a branch and held it in his hand as a weapon.
"Hahahaha!"
Gu Xiaochen mocked, "It seems your Guigu sect is truly in decline. How dare you fight my Cold Light Divine Sword with just a branch!"
With that, he activated the Cold Light Divine Sword, and instantly, an intense cold air filled the air. In his opinion, with a single strike, he could cut through both Yun Fan and the branch.
Who would have thought that with the branch in hand, Yun Fan seemed to have found a perfectly suited weapon. The sword energy was as sharp as Gu Xiaochen's.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Xiaochen showed a shocked expression. He had originally thought that Yun Fan only knew close combat and not swordsmanship. He never expected that Yun Fan's swordsmanship was no weaker than his.
Yun Fan said disdainfully, "Do you think only your Sword Sect knows swordsmanship?"
"My Guigu sect is proficient in all kinds of supreme skills in the world. How can mere swordsmanship count in front of me?"
At this moment, Yun Fan attacked again, displaying his immense power to the extreme. Each move seemed capable of piercing through everything.
What made Gu Xiaochen even more furious was that his sword missed every single strike. Under this trend, he completely lost his reason.
At this moment, Gu Xiaochen roared, "I'll kill you!"
Undoubtedly, at this point, he had completely lost his reason. His movements were now chaotic and lacked any pattern.
Yun Fan's branch had already left several wounds on him.
But even in this state, Yun Fan could not kill Gu Xiaochen immediately. After all, their realms and strengths were at the same level.
Yun Fan could not kill him instantly, and he had to be careful with every move.
At this moment, Gu Xiaochen's eyes were bloodshot. Although he was at a disadvantage, he had not completely lost. All of this was thanks to the Cold Light Divine Sword.
After being struck by Yun Fan's sword earlier, the cold energy had deeply penetrated his body. It was more than just pain; it even slowed down his movements.
This sword energy was definitely more terrifying than poison. Therefore, he was not in his peak state either.
His strength could only be maintained at about seventy percent, so defeating Gu Xiaochen had become very difficult.
"Swish!"
The next moment, the two stood in place, as if time had frozen.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Xiaochen looked at his chest in disbelief. His left chest had been pierced by Yun Fan's branch.
For an ordinary person, even if it wasn't fatal, they would definitely lose their ability to act. But for Gu Xiaochen, it was far from that point.
Yun Fan said, "Your swordsmanship is only average. If not for the Cold Light, I could have heavily injured you several times! Even killed you!"
"No, it's absolutely not like this!"
Gu Xiaochen roared, "Even without the Cold Light, I can defeat you!"
"Then do you dare to discard the Cold Light?"
Yun Fan asked disdainfully.
"Okay!"
Gu Xiaochen was about to discard the Cold Light, but at the next moment, he vaguely regained his reason.
"No, I will never discard it, nor will I fall for your trick!"
Gu Xiaochen pulled out the branch and said playfully, "You are instigating me like this simply because you are afraid of my Cold Light! I know your weakness!"
At this moment, he immediately shouted, "Today, I will let you know what it means to be one with the sword!"
"Hmm?"
Yun Fan showed a hint of confusion. He had heard of being one with the sword.
But he didn't believe Gu Xiaochen could achieve oneness with the sword.
"No, that's not right. The Cold Light is a bonus!"
Yun Fan immediately realized. Although Gu Xiaochen's strength was not enough to achieve oneness with the sword, don't forget that the sword in his hand was the Cold Light Divine Sword.
With the Cold Light Divine Sword, even if Gu Xiaochen couldn't achieve it, he was close.
At the next moment, Gu Xiaochen, with the momentum of oneness with the sword, charged at Yun Fan.
This move was fierce and unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, he had reached Yun Fan.
Yun Fan wanted to dodge this sharp sword, but after being locked onto by the cold light's aura, his movements became sluggish again.
"Not good!"
Yun Fan had a bad premonition, because from this posture, he had nowhere to retreat from this strike.
However, at this very moment, when Gu Xiaochen's sword was just one step away from him, it could advance no further. Instead, he let out a painful roar.
"Ah!"
After the roar, Gu Xiaochen's body exploded, shattering into several pieces.
Seeing this, Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. If Gu Xiaochen's strike had landed, he would have been seriously injured, if not dead.
Of course, before he was seriously injured, he was confident he could kill Gu Xiaochen. However, this move was a tactic that killed one thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of his own. He did not want to use it unless absolutely necessary.
He was still wondering why Gu Xiaochen had such an accident, but at the next moment, his doubts all vanished.
Because the person who killed Gu Xiaochen was none other than Zhulian.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Since the farce last time, Zhulian had not appeared again. He never expected Zhulian to arrive at such a crucial moment.
It was completely beyond his expectation.
Zhulian said, "Silly boy, if I hadn't come, you would have died this time!"
"Sister, am I too useless?"
That's right, no matter how dangerous the situation was in the past, Yun Fan could remain steadfast. But this time, he tasted the bitterness of defeat.
Although the worst-case scenario was mutual destruction, for Yun Fan, this was defeat.
"Of course not!"
Zhulian walked towards him with a smile.
