"You good-for-nothing Qi Kunlun, you've harmed us all for your selfish desires!"
Chi Mei immediately said, "Three fellow Daoists, strike together today, or none of us four will leave alive!"
The remaining three prodigies immediately stood with Chi Mei, facing the threat together.
For at that moment, they completely believed Chi Mei's words.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun said, "Except for Chi Mei, the rest of you can leave!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three hesitated. With Qi Kunlun plus Zhan Tian Clan's Yun Fan in the lineup, they truly stood no chance of winning.
This didn't even include Bi Lian, who could contend with any of the three, or even defeat them.
So, this was a complete annihilation situation!
Chi Mei listened and incited further, "He dares to hide his Zhan Tian Clan identity and help the Zhan Tian Clan kid. Do you think he'll let you off?"
Upon hearing this, the wavering hearts of the three became even more uncertain.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun stopped wasting words with them. "Since you cannot choose, then I shall choose for you!"
The next moment, he directly attacked the three.
"Not good!"
The three prodigies felt a suffocating pressure. Before they could even attempt to defend themselves, Qi Kunlun had already struck.
With just three swords, the three lay dead on the spot.
"Now there's no need for indecision!"
Qi Kunlun was a decisive individual. If he said he would give the three a chance to escape, he would.
But since they didn't believe him, he wouldn't be polite.
Now, only Chi Mei remained, his expression instantly changing.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun said to Yun Fan, "Finish him quickly, I'm waiting for you!"
"No problem!"
Yun Fan smiled playfully and stepped forward.
"Die!"
Chi Mei wanted to strike first and kill Yun Fan, but to his surprise, Yun Fan's punch pierced directly through his body.
"Ah!"
Chi Mei let out a scream and fled quickly, crossing space. But just before he could cross space,
his body began to burn.
Then he vanished completely, his power absorbed by Yun Fan. Unfortunately, after reaching the eighth realm, every breakthrough was fraught with difficulty.
Chi Mei's power did not play a crucial role for him.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun and Bi Lian were both shocked. It seemed that the Devouring Fire was the core of Zhan Tian's power.
In the world, no one could resist the Devouring Flame's consumption. Like Chi Mei, in front of Yun Fan, he was utterly vulnerable.
At this moment, Yun Fan said to Qi Kunlun, "I'll give you a chance too!"
"I will only defeat you, not kill you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Kunlun gritted his teeth in anger. This brat was truly arrogant! He had returned his own words to him verbatim.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun coldly said to Yun Fan, "I hope your strength matches your words!"
"Since neither of us wants to be harmed, I think we can find another way to decide the battle!"
"What way?"
Qi Kunlun looked at Yun Fan in confusion.
Yun Fan said, "It's very simple. We'll have a three-move battle, and three moves will decide the victor!"
In fact, Yun Fan was not being lazy. If the outcome was to be decided, three moves would be enough. But if it were a life-and-death struggle, three moves would definitely not suffice.
It might drag on for a long time, as both were very strong.
Upon hearing this, Qi Kunlun agreed.
"No problem, within three moves, I will defeat you!"
"You are indeed confident. Come on!"
Bi Lian retreated to a distance, leaving the space for Qi Kunlun and Yun Fan.
At this moment, after a shout from Qi Kunlun, he unleashed his peak strike, carrying an invincible sword energy.
"Boom!"
After the first move, both retreated. Clearly, the first move did not decide the victor.
In fact, for this first move, Yun Fan had also deployed his peak combat strength. After all, with only three moves, who wouldn't want to use their strongest power!
It was a pity that although both suffered some damage from this move, neither could overcome the other.
Qi Kunlun said, "Very good. You did not fall in the first move, otherwise, I would be disappointed!"
"Second move!"
For this move, Yun Fan took the initiative, channeling Zhan Tian power into himself. At this moment, he was capable of fighting a ninth-realm expert.
Ordinary ninth-realm powerhouses were no match for him.
Bi Lian, standing in the distance, changed color. She realized that if she were to stand between their moves, she would surely be turned to ashes.
This was the terror of top-tier experts.
"Slash!"
Qi Kunlun gathered all his sword energy to contend with Yun Fan's Zhan Tian power.
"Bang!"
After one move and one sword strike, they retreated again.
"Pfft!"
Qi Kunlun and Yun Fan were both shaken by this power, spitting blood. It had to be said, the second move was truly too powerful.
However, the result was that they were still evenly matched.
"Hmph!"
Qi Kunlun, enraged, threw away the sword in his hand. Yes, he wanted to fight Yun Fan bare-handed for the third move.
"That was just your luck earlier, but this move, you won't be so lucky!"
He roared at Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "That's not necessarily true!"
At this moment, Yun Fan unleashed his peak origin power. Instantly, a colossal figure appeared behind both of them, and they directly collided.
In an instant, the two phantoms shattered into pieces, and both of them, like kites with broken strings, were sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
This move could have cost them half their lives, and it was truly a miserable outcome.
However, it was precisely because of this that they no longer had the strength to unleash a fourth move.
At this moment, Qi Kunlun, battered and bruised, got up and said to the equally battered Yun Fan, "You won, but this is only our first round of engagement. In every subsequent stage, I will challenge you again!"
"I didn't win, and you didn't lose! It was a draw!"
Yun Fan was very humble.
But Qi Kunlun said, "Losing is losing, there's no need to say too much. You haven't used your Devouring power yet, and my realm is higher than yours. If you were at my realm, I wouldn't be your opponent!"
Ten thousand years ago, countless prodigies and heroes had wanted to challenge the might of Zhan Tian power, but all had failed.
His father was the only one who had been an equal. Therefore, he greatly admired his father's power. It was a pity that in this era, the Zhan Tian Clan was no more.
Thus, he was very frustrated. Unable to find anyone from the Zhan Tian Clan to challenge, Yun Fan was his only chance, and he would absolutely not miss it.
If one time wasn't enough, then twice. He firmly believed that one day, he would defeat Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Devouring power is indeed the strongest, but one must find an opportunity to use it!"
"This match is a draw. I will give you another chance!"
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Kunlun vanished from the spot, as he still had to clear the seventh stage.
At this moment, Bi Lian said, "Husband, if it were a real life-and-death battle, could you defeat him?"
Yun Fan smiled and said, "If it were a true desperate battle, then he would not be my opponent!"
This was Yun Fan's confidence. However, even if he could kill Qi Kunlun, he would have to pay with half his life, which was simply not worth it!
"Mmm hmm!"
Bi Lian was filled with admiration. She had decided on Yun Fan for this lifetime, and even her master coming wouldn't change anything, as it was her master who had been hurt by the Zhan Tian Clan, not her.
Later, no matter what, she would shamelessly defend Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan asked, "By the way, what is this seventh stage?"
Although Bi Lian had never been here before, it was clear that the other prodigies had prepared thoroughly and would not be like him, only having a vague understanding.
At every stage, he didn't know what the content of the stage was.
At this moment, Bi Lian said, "Illusion!"
"Illusion?"
Yun Fan was somewhat confused.
"That's right, it's an illusion. As long as you walk out of the illusion, the seventh stage will be over!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan said, "This stage is a bit too dismissive, isn't it? Since it's an illusion, and they're testing me, if my will is firm, wouldn't there be no difficulty at all?"
Bi Lian scornfully said, "Husband, don't be arrogant. Knowing it's an illusion and then telling you about it, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?"
After hearing this, Yun Fan nodded. "It's fine. I don't believe this small illusion can stop me! Let's go and see!"
"Mmm hmm!"
Then, the two walked for a day and a night, and Yun Fan said, "Where is this illusion? Have we taken the wrong path?"
Bi Lian said, "That's entirely possible. We just need to be careful!"
"Mmm!"
Yun Fan nodded and prepared to look elsewhere.
However, in the next moment, Bi Lian suddenly attacked, aiming straight for his vital points. Yun Fan's expression changed instantly.
Fortunately, he was fully alert, or he would have been unable to dodge this fatal blow.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Yun Fan was somewhat angry, but Bi Lian smiled playfully, "You don't take illusions seriously, do you? Have you realized that I've switched the person beside you without you even knowing?"
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Fan's expression changed. He hadn't expected that the person beside him wasn't Bi Lian, and it was pathetic that he hadn't noticed at all.
At this moment, Bi Lian said, "The real game has just begun. If you cannot break my illusion, then your soul will be my prey!"
"You're thinking too much!"
The next moment, Yun Fan shattered the mirror image with a single move. It was indeed an illusion. At this moment, his heart became extremely vigilant.
Of course, he was even more worried about Bi Lian.
Although Bi Lian was powerful, she was very dangerous within this illusion.
Not long after, Yun Fan saw a blurry figure ahead. He walked closer and realized it was Bi Lian.
He didn't know if it was real or fake.
"Husband, where did you go? Why did you leave me behind?"
Bi Lian ran towards Yun Fan pitifully. After Yun Fan's thorough logical analysis, he could confirm that this person was Bi Lian.
So, he quickly stepped forward, "What did you just experience?"
"I... I was walking, and you suddenly disappeared!"
Bi Lian replied weakly.
"It's alright now. We've both fallen for it. We need to be careful from now on!"
"Mmm hmm!"
Bi Lian nodded.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Let's go! Now we must find a way to break this illusion!"
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Yun Fan felt a pain in his back. It turned out that at some point, Bi Lian had already plunged a dagger into his waist!
"Holy crap!"
