"Kill!"
Nangong Feng made the first move. The tail of his spear swung, and the spear struck like a dragon. The destructive lightning power erupted from the spear tip, transforming into a colossal black dragon, like a heavenly tribulation descending, directly attacking Zhang Fan. Seeing this, the others also unleashed their unique skills, charging towards Zhang Fan.
The fate of Fu Tianling before had made not a single one of them dare to underestimate the eight-tribulation realm cultivator before them. Thus, despite their numerical advantage, they showed no restraint. Even Canglan Mingyue and Canglan Qiuyue were no longer holding back. Having made their decision, they attacked without reservation. Various powerful spells and divine abilities were unleashed, filling this space with the power of countless rules, making the very essence of heaven and earth appear incredibly violent.
If an ordinary Golden Core stage cultivator were to fall into this, they would likely be torn apart by the rampant energy of heaven and earth in an instant.
The destructive lightning dragon formed from concentrated lightning power, the fire phoenix evolved from celestial fire, a giant ice sword condensed from ice power… One after another, powerful spells arrived first, surging from all directions, completely sealing off Zhang Fan's escape routes.
With the suppression of the Sword Dao Domain, each of them could only exert about eighty percent of their peak power, but it was still terrifying. Even a peak nine-tribulation realm expert would find it difficult to withstand such a fierce onslaught.
"Fighting ten nine-tribulation realm cultivators alone, isn't that a bit too much?" Xiao Yi frowned, quite worried. However, with his current strength, he was not qualified to help even if he wanted to.
Upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, Lin Haotian and the others, who had been full of confidence in Zhang Fan, now couldn't help but worry. Although their master had defeated Fu Tianling with a single move earlier, the difference between one and ten was still significant.
Moreover, the strength of Canglan Mingyue and Canglan Qiuyue, the siblings, was clearly a league above the other nine-tribulation realm cultivators. The imposing aura they displayed at this moment alone made them incredibly apprehensive.
"Since Brother Zhang Fan dared to do this, he must have his reasons. Let's just watch," Shen Feichen said solemnly. Facing such a lineup, perhaps only Nascent Soul cultivators who had fused their divine souls with the rules of the Dao could deal with it easily.
However, he also knew very well that Zhang Fan simultaneously cultivated the rules of Sword Dao and the rules of Lightning Dao, and both had reached a near-perfect state. Yet, facing the siege of ten nine-tribulation realm cultivators, Zhang Fan had not unleashed his Lightning Dao Domain, which was enough to show his confidence.
"Petty tricks, daring to show off in front of an expert!"
Facing the powerful spells tearing through the air, Zhang Fan did not evade. He stepped with peculiar footwork, leaving behind an afterimage with each stride. After he took three steps, these afterimages seemed to gain a life of their own, instantly solidifying around him, as if he had refined them into external avatars.
As Zhang Fan swung his iron sword, these afterimages also unleashed a sword strike. The Sword Dao rules surged madly, and centered on Zhang Fan, sharp sword energy transformed into a rain of swords that spread outwards, shattering all the incoming spells and divine abilities, turning them into a sky full of starlight.
At this moment, the sky above the flat top was brilliant and dazzling, but no one was there to appreciate such beauty. Their gazes remained fixed on Zhang Fan, unwilling to miss even a sliver.
In almost an instant, a figure broke through the starlight and charged within a zhang of Zhang Fan. His body had not yet arrived, but his spear had, pointing directly at Zhang Fan's brow, as if intending to settle everything with a single thrust.
However, this was, after all, within Zhang Fan's domain. The area covered by his domain allowed for meticulous observation, and every move of everyone present was clearly etched into his mind.
Although Nangong Feng's speed was astonishing, relying on speed to win was simply wishful thinking. As if he had foreseen it, Zhang Fan gently deflected the attack with his iron sword, and simultaneously, the iron sword slid along the spear shaft, aiming for Nangong Feng.
However, with a sword's cry from behind, it was Zhan Feiyang attacking with his sword. Zhang Fan had to withdraw his offensive, turn, and slash out a sword. Under the immense force, Zhan Feiyang was sent flying back several kilometers.
One figure after another followed. Fu Tianling, Qin Hao, Canglan Mingyue, and Canglan Qiuyue all attacked in succession. Each of them possessed extraordinary talent. Canglan Mingyue and Canglan Qiuyue were even more outstanding, their unleashed power surpassing that of ordinary peak nine-tribulation realm experts by a few degrees.
As the figures intertwined, the sound of clashing metal echoed incessantly. The distant onlookers held their breaths, their gazes fixed on Zhang Fan, who was being besieged by several nine-tribulation realm cultivators. They couldn't help but marvel.
Zhang Fan's exquisite swordsmanship allowed him to block everyone's attacks, but under their combined assault, he could not harm any of them.
Several other nine-tribulation realm cultivators provided support with their spells. These individuals had all broken through to the nine-tribulation realm after entering the Great Luo Realm, and their strength was relatively weaker. They dared not engage Zhang Fan in close combat, but whenever Zhang Fan found an opportunity to seriously injure one of them, they would be blocked by the spells cast by those nine-tribulation realm cultivators.
"Senior Zhang Fan is indeed the most monstrous cultivator of our Wushan Star Domain in a million years. Even the Zhizhi True Immortal back then probably didn't have such strength when he was in the eight-tribulation realm."
"The situation is not optimistic. Although Senior Zhang Fan can currently block the siege, he cannot counterattack. If this continues, he might be the first to give out."
"Fighting against a crowd alone is truly defying the heavens. If Senior Zhang Fan can survive this trial today, he will surely become a True Immortal in the future. I guarantee it!"
"Senior Zhang Fan's character is truly resolute. If he were willing to take a step back, perhaps this situation would not have arisen."
A group of Nascent Soul cultivators watched this scene. While they marveled at Zhang Fan's heaven-defying power, they did not believe he could truly defeat ten opponents.
"What do you know?"
"We cultivators, born between heaven and earth, are already rebelling against the heavens. We should naturally be unyielding to heaven and earth, and even more so to others." A young rogue cultivator's eyes flashed with divine light. The handsome young man exuded boundless ambition as he retorted.
How fast were nine-tribulation realm cultivators? If some Golden Core stage cultivators came to watch, they probably wouldn't even be able to clearly see the figures of everyone involved.
The exchange had lasted only a few breaths, but over a hundred moves had already been made. The magical power within both sides surged wildly, daring not to slacken even for a moment. Any lapse could be fatal.
