After walking for a while, Yun Fan felt something was wrong. He always felt a killing intent beside him.
Yet he couldn't detect the other's presence.
"Strange, why is this happening?"
Yun Fan was filled with doubt. This sinful galaxy, seemingly simple, was in fact full of complexities.
Just then, the shadow behind him suddenly rose from the ground, preparing to deliver a throat-slitting surprise.
At that critical moment, Yun Fan reacted and punched out, only to hit empty air.
The blade was less than an inch away from him, which Yun Fan had subtly evaded.
"Kid, you're quick. Not as useless as that old white-haired man said!"
The shadow smiled playfully, looking at Yun Fan with mockery.
Instantly, Yun Fan recognized the other's identity, "Xiong Ying!"
"That's right! It's me!"
Xiong Ying smiled playfully. He was skilled at hiding in others' shadows and launching surprise attacks.
He never expected to fail this time. He had only failed twice in his career. The first was ten thousand years ago.
The second was now.
And he had fallen at the hands of the Zhan Tian clan both times. However, this time he hadn't truly failed yet.
After all, he hadn't truly clashed with Yun Fan. Last time, that shameless fellow had dodged his sneak attack and then ground him into the dirt.
Yun Fan said, "So, you intend to kill me?"
"Nonsense!"
Xiong Ying said coldly, "That guy from last time defeated us and said that ten thousand years later, someone from the Zhan Tian clan would come, and we should submit to him! It seems this person is you!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was stunned. He hadn't expected someone to be so accurate ten thousand years ago. This was too perverse.
Of course, these were not the important things. The important thing was that someone had made arrangements ten thousand years ago.
"We are both Immortal Emperors, a promise is a promise!"
Yun Fan said, "Ten thousand years ago, he asked you to submit to me after ten thousand years. You should honor your promise and submit to me now!"
However, Xiong Ying said, "Dream on! You're so weak, how can we submit to you?"
Someone dared to call him weak. Yun Fan couldn't stand it. He said to Xiong Ying, "Do not look down on a young man's poverty! If you have the guts, let's have a real fight!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
At this moment, Xiong Ying said, "Don't say I don't give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I will submit to you. Fight!"
The next moment, Yun Fan decisively attacked, heading straight for Xiong Ying.
But Xiong Ying vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, then attacked him as a shadow again. Unknowingly, Yun Fan's body was pierced with a hole.
"Is all you know how to do is sneak attack?"
Yun Fan was furious. This guy was mysterious, and he couldn't figure out his methods at all.
Xiong Ying said mockingly, "As long as I can kill you, any method is a good method!"
The next moment, he stopped talking nonsense with Yun Fan and attacked Yun Fan again.
Yun Fan's moves were useless against him, and he was heavily wounded several times.
"Weak and frail, yet you expect us to submit to you? You're dreaming!"
Xiong Ying taunted.
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!"
After such humiliation, Yun Fan could no longer bear it. He immediately ignited his Devouring Flames, preparing to fight the opponent to the death.
However, as he ignited the Devouring Flames, Xiong Ying's body also seemed to begin burning. It turned out that the one from ten thousand years ago had left a mark within him. Once he activated it, the other would also burn.
Xiong Ying was terrified. "Stop! I surrender! I surrender!"
He hastily begged Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan felt immensely satisfied. He thought this guy was so arrogant, but he was easily subdued.
Of course, he was most grateful to the kind person from ten thousand years ago. Without that person's methods, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the opponent.
At this, Yun Fan said, "I don't believe you'll surrender just like that. Unless you give me your divine soul imprint!"
"What?"
Xiong Ying hadn't expected Yun Fan to make such a demand. If he truly handed it over, his life and death would be in Yun Fan's hands.
For this reason, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, no problem. As long as you don't activate the Burning Flames, I agree!"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't court death, I won't kill you!"
At this, Yun Fan cautiously walked forward, preparing to take Xiong Ying's divine soul imprint. However, the next moment, Xiong Ying revealed a sinister smile.
"Damn it, it's a trap!"
Yun Fan immediately reacted and prepared to evade, but the next moment, several figures appeared and knocked him unconscious.
...
When Yun Fan woke up again, he didn't know where he was, but he was certain that his situation was not good.
Because at this moment, his limbs were bound, and his power was sealed, making it impossible for him to use his Devouring Flames.
You read that right, his limbs were indeed bound. The opponent was too shameless, and Yun Fan felt insulted.
Just then, a young girl strolled in. She looked like a pure beauty, but Yun Fan dared not be careless.
Because she was the only Immortal Emperor among the Seven Deadly Sin Immortal Emperors who was ancient yet eternally youthful.
This Immortal Emperor was the renowned Qiao Yexi.
Qiao Yexi said with feigned concern, "Young Master, how did you end up like this?"
"Let me see what's wrong with you?"
At this, she walked up with concern.
"Don't come near!"
Yun Fan suddenly shouted.
"Young Master, why are you so angry?"
Qiao Yexi asked in confusion, pretending to be scared.
Yun Fan said, "Do you think I don't know who you are? You are the Qiao Yexi who is full of perversion and extremely cruel!"
Faced with such a dangerous woman, never be fooled by her appearance, or she will kill you with the most brutal methods in this world.
At least, that's what the records stated, and Yun Fan believed the records were correct.
Qiao Yexi said aggrievedly, "Young Master, you misunderstand me. I'm not that kind of person. You must believe me, people are spreading rumors about me!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan didn't believe her at all. But in order to break free from his restraints, he pretended to believe her and said, "If you can remove my restraints, I will believe you!"
Qiao Yexi immediately said, "Don't worry, Young Master, I'll help you remove them now!"
Then, she untied Yun Fan.
This left Yun Fan confused. When did these sinful Immortal Emperors become so accommodating? At this moment, he even began to doubt if the records were correct.
Otherwise, there was no reason for Qiao Yexi to untie his restraints!
Of course, he wasn't stupid. At this moment, he shouldn't harbor any doubts, so he prepared to activate his Devouring Flames. Whether Qiao Yexi was cruel or harmless, it was best to control her first.
However, the moment he activated his Devouring Flames, his body suddenly exploded, and his meridians were shattered.
"Pfft!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Yun Fan cursed, "Are you playing with me?"
"Young Master, I kindly released you, but you wanted to control me. You can't blame me for this, can you?"
She said pitifully, even shedding tears, but undoubtedly, these were crocodile tears.
Yun Fan hadn't expected to be almost killed by her methods. He could only say that none of the Seven Deadly Sin Immortal Emperors were easy to deal with. Even Yun Fan was close to collapse.
"What do you want?"
Yun Fan cursed.
Qiao Yexi suddenly switched her persona. "Since Young Master wants to play, then I'll play with you. As long as Young Master can handle it!"
With that, she took out a dagger that looked like a divine weapon and walked straight towards Yun Fan.
