Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 685: Chapter 686 Crisis! Terrifying Yaan Jinghong! (3 more)

With the first batch of Martial Artists arriving at the Lost City, soon the second and third batches also successively arrived.

”Southern City Gate!”

Jiang Xiaofan looked up at the broken wall in front of him and slowly read out the three large characters on the city tower.

Having studied at the Heavenly Position Academy for half a year, although Jiang Xiaofan’s knowledge and strategy had not improved much, his ability to read had basically become quite proficient.

He was no longer making embarrassing mistakes like reading ”Tianshu East Courtyard” as ”Tianmu East Courtyard.”

”We’re finally here!” Jiang Xiaofan raised his fist lightly in front of him and laughed joyously, ”Miss Yue, I think big brother and the others might have arrived at this relic even earlier than we did, heh heh. Let’s quickly enter; we’ll soon meet up with them.”

”Mmm.” Yue Yunlan nodded slightly, having thoroughly witnessed the true capabilities of Jiang Xiaofan and Lee Bufan along the way.

Especially Jiang Xiaofan, who initially seemed like just a simple and honest blockhead to Yue Yunlan, had completely transformed in just over half a year.

The East Courtyard Sword Team would undoubtedly become the most formidable contender in this year’s competition among the Five Academy Sword Teams.

One being her own Sword Team and the other being Ling Feng’s Sword Team, she herself did not know which side she hoped would win.

Lee Bufan, holding a long sword, stood to one side with a cold face, merely saying indifferently, ”Better safe than sorry. I think there are more than just a few of us interested in this Ancient Sect relic.”

Yue Yunlan and Jiang Xiaofan both nodded in agreement. Making their way here, the trio had indeed faced numerous crises, with one incident almost leading them into an ambush by several Martial Artists from the Tianyang Empire, nearly ending in utter disaster.

The three heightened their alertness and entered the Ruins City.

Unlike Ling Feng’s group, who entered from the eastern district, it seemed that the southern district was mostly an area where disciples lived. Inside the relatively well-preserved houses, the trio only found some weapons of ordinary quality and some other everyday items of no use.

”It seems this must have been the living area of the Outer Disciples.”

After analyzing, they no longer wasted time and continued to venture deeper into the desolate Ruins City.

After who knows how long, the trio passed through one ruined courtyard after another. These places were once inhabited by disciples of the Emperor Extreme Sect and held nothing special, nor was it likely that there were any treasures left—anything valuable would have probably turned to scrap metal over tens of thousands of years.

Only those treasures protected by Arrays and Barriers could withstand the ravages of time without losing all their spiritual energy.

Moving forward, the trio eventually reached a grand hall that was somewhat intact. Suspended above the grand hall was a Golden Plaque on which the characters ”Heavenly Pill Pavilion” could be vaguely discerned.

Although the hall was severely damaged and the roof had several large holes, its overall structure was still there, unlike many buildings they had encountered along the way, which were reduced to mere ruins, dreadful to behold. Presumably, such an important place like the Heavenly Pill Pavilion was protected by a Guardian Great Array, and so had not been completely obliterated in the battles against the Outer Heaven Demons.

”Ha ha, nice place!”

Jiang Xiaofan was visibly delighted and casually remarked, ”It looks like our luck is really not bad!”

”Is it really? Maybe not!”

Just then, a chilling voice came from behind, and two figures, one black and the other white, slowly approached.

One of them, wherever he passed, the ground would turn to frost, coming from afar and bringing with it a terrifying chill, as if plunging into the Ice Hell itself, freezing even souls solid.

”Yaan—Jinghong!”

Lee Bufan narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming extremely solemn. No matter how conceited he was, he understood that there was a huge gap between himself and Yaan Jinghong.

The presence of Yaan Jinghong alone was enough to bring despair, and the man in black beside him was just as unfathomable.

Formidable enemies!

Unprecedented formidable opponent!

Lee Bufan’s forehead was slightly sweating, and if these two decided to strike against them, the three of them would stand absolutely no chance!

”Miss Yue!” Yaan Jinghong’s gaze fell directly on Yue Yunlan, completely ignoring Lee Bufan and the other person.

From beginning to end, he didn’t take them seriously at all.

Yue Yunlan bit her silver teeth. The status of the Eastern Capital Yan Family had become increasingly entrenched over the years, and the head of the Yan Family had also expressed the intention of a marital alliance with her father multiple times.

These matters were naturally known to Yue Yunlan.

However, although Yaan Jinghong was gifted and an exceptional evil talent, Yue Yunlan had absolutely no good feelings towards Yaan Jinghong’s character.

He was cruel in action, arrogant and conceited, treating women as mere attachments.

How could such a person be considered a good match?

Seeing that Yue Yunlan did not respond, Yaan Jinghong seemed unfazed, merely stating indifferently, ”Miss Yue, if you are willing to join my team, you can enter the Heavenly Pill Pavilion at will. However, if Miss Yue has no such intention, please leave. Otherwise, although in the future you will inevitably become my woman, Yaan Jinghong, I fear I will not show mercy to you.”

”If a woman does not obediently listen, there is no use in keeping her around,” Yaan Jinghong said with a calm expression.

”What a joke! What gives you the right to claim Miss Yue as your woman!”

Jiang Xiaofan immediately jumped out, glaring furiously at Yaan Jinghong, and shouted angrily, ”Yaan, even though everyone says you are formidable, I, Jiang Xiaofan, am not afraid of you! The Heavenly Pill Pavilion was discovered by us first, who are you to chase others away!”

”Clamor!”

Yaan Jinghong’s gaze turned cold, and with a raise of his hand, a chillingly cold palm force burst forth instantly, fiercely striking Jiang Xiaofan’s chest.

”Bang!”

A loud explosive sound erupted, and Jiang Xiaofan’s body was sent flying, a mouthful of blood wildly spewing out.

”Xiao Fan!”

Yue Yunlan immediately rushed over to support Jiang Xiaofan, while Lee Bufan drew his sword, positioning it in front of Jiang Xiaofan.

”You are the son of the Grand Commandant Mansion, right?” Yaan Jinghong’s gaze swept over Lee Bufan, showing a trace of disdain, ”The so-called Little Sword God is merely this much. In consideration of Lee Grand Commandant, I will spare you from death today. Get lost!”

”You say you spare who from death!”

A roaring shout, similar to thunder, exploded suddenly. It was Jiang Xiaofan’s figure, charging back like a cannonball.

At that moment, the Xuanwu Treasure Blood within Jiang Xiaofan’s body was burning wildly, covering his body with incredibly mystical patterns, and a yellowish glow formed a tremendously solid barrier, protecting his frame.

”Oh? Not dead?”

A trace of surprise flickered in Yaan Jinghong’s eyes, unexpected that Jiang Xiaofan had taken a palm from him, and not only had he not died, but he also didn’t seem to have sustained any serious injuries.

”Interesting.” Yaan Jinghong’s interest was slightly piqued, ”I hear you are the teammate of that overconfident Ling Feng. I really want to know, if such feeble teammates of yours die here today, what right does that ignorant waste have to challenge the Royal Sword Team! Hahaha...”

Suddenly, an immensely terrifying coldness, centered on Yaan Jinghong, swept out wildly.

The Frozen Emperor Domain that Ling Feng had once experienced, finally reappeared!
