Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2252 -2296: Sneak Attack

She could hardly believe her eyes. Wasn’t this her swordsmanship?

But… but her swordsmanship relied on her unique bloodline! Where on earth did Jiang Fan learn it?

Long Ming Sage stared blankly, then looked at Jian Sankuang in astonishment.

“And you still claim you have nothing to do with him?

“Do you dare say you didn’t teach him this?”

Jian Sankuang opened her mouth to explain, only to find she had no logical defense. It was true that she had imparted her Sword Dao insights, but they were merely meant as a reference for Jiang Fan. Without her bloodline, it was impossible for him to cultivate it successfully!

Long Ming Sage shook his head. “After we return to the Martial Vault, try to get along well with your sister.”

“Who is my sister? Shut up!” Jian Sankuang retorted anxiously. Then she turned around and glared fiercely at Jiang Fan. “You dog, my reputation is completely ruined because of you!”

With that, she took Long Ming Sage’s soul and tore through the air, departing into the distance.

Meanwhile, the experts of Nanqian also noticed Jiang Fan flashing past them. It was hard not to notice those exaggerated sword wings. However, most of their attention remained fixed on Jian Sankuang, leaving them no time to care about him.

Only Feng Lingxiao’s eyes flickered slightly. Taking advantage of the crowd chasing after Jian Sankuang, he quietly broke off alone to pursue Jiang Fan.

Shortly after.

Outside the barrier of the Nanqian World.

Jiang Fan turned back, his mind churning with new plans on how to kill Feng Lingxiao.

Suddenly, a silver beam of light shot toward him at an inconceivable speed. Before he could even dodge, the silver beam pierced through his right sword wing, blasting away a large swath of Spirit Swords. His flight speed immediately slowed.

Turning his head, he saw Feng Lingxiao riding a black paper crane, shuttling through the Void like a streak of light. In his hand, he held a massive bow carved with dragon scales, emitting the powerful coercion of a Quasi-Realm Artifact.

Jiang Fan laughed out of sheer anger. “I was just worrying about how to deal with you!

“Talk about a godsend!”

SWISH!

Feng Lingxiao arrived in an instant, staring coldly at Jiang Fan. “You must be Jiang Fan, right?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered. “You’ve got the wrong person!” He didn’t know what other trump cards Feng Lingxiao had up his sleeve. Naturally, it was best to keep his identity hidden if he could.

Feng Lingxiao nocked another long silver arrow and said, “You can hide other things, but you forgot to erase the aura of Snow Maiden.”

Jiang Fan froze for a moment. He reached into his clothes and, sure enough, pulled out three fox hairs. This was a protective charm she had given him before he went to the Earth Realm, meant to prevent him from losing himself within it.

He hadn’t expected this item to give him away.

Since he had been recognized, there was no point in hiding it anymore. “Then I really must thank Sister Snow Maiden for luring you here to your death.”

Feng Lingxiao sneered. “Your Top-grade Spirit Swords were already taken back by Jian Sankuang, and now they are all destroyed.

“Without that secret technique, you are nothing but an ant before me!”

With that, he released his fingers. The terrifying long arrow transformed into a cold silver stream of light once again, shooting forward at an unbelievable speed.

Prepared this time, Jiang Fan extended his palm and grasped the Evil Sword. At the same time, the triple Void Flow Power coated the longsword.

SLASH!

Both were Quasi-Realm Artifacts, but Jiang Fan had also activated the Void Flow Power. The might of this single sword strike rivaled that of the Early-stage Second Calamity Realm. The incoming long arrow was cleaved apart on the spot, shattering into sparkling specks of light that dissipated into the air.

“What?” Feng Lingxiao was taken aback. Back at the World of Darkness, Jiang Fan hadn’t been able to block a single strike from him, yet now he could face his heavy treasure head-on!

“Hmph! You learn some unorthodox tricks and think you can fight me?” Feng Lingxiao’s face darkened. He stowed away the longbow and instead brought out a pitch-black, damaged Magic Artifact.

More accurately, it was a pair of Magic Artifacts. In his left hand was a black hammer, and in his right was an awl. They looked quite ancient and emitted bizarre fluctuations. The moment they were taken out, Jiang Fan felt an intense discomfort on a soul level.

“Dying by this is your good fortune!” Feng Lingxiao raised the hammer and struck it fiercely against the awl.

CRACKLE!

Out of the unseen void, an obscure, transparent bolt of lightning struck down, slamming heavily into Jiang Fan.

That speed… No, there was no speed to speak of. The transparent soul attack pierced through time, striking its target directly. Jiang Fan was hit instantly. His body immediately stiffened, unable to move a muscle.

Feng Lingxiao sneered. “This is a replica Magic Artifact of the Hammer of Thunder God, forged by the Daqian Divine Kingdom.

“Even the soul of a One Calamity Realm Sage could be obliterated by it, let alone your Divinity Transformation Realm soul!”

As he spoke, he drew a black blade and slashed it through the air toward Jiang Fan’s body. “It’s a pity, but I won’t give you the chance to unfurl the Champion Marquis Banner this time!”

However, right at that moment, Jiang Fan’s eyes darted.

Feng Lingxiao’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly realizing something was wrong. He had been tricked! Jiang Fan was actually fine! But by the time he reacted, it was already too late!

Divine Power surged within Jiang Fan’s body. A massive banner materialized, radiating a coercion capable of suppressing the heavens. It was none other than the Champion Marquis Banner.

The moment the banner appeared, Feng Lingxiao was subjected to an irresistible pressure. He was forced to lower his blade, and his body bowed uncontrollably. Although it was only for a brief instant, for the current Jiang Fan, it was enough time to deliver a fatal blow!

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiang Fan’s icy voice rang in Feng Lingxiao’s ears.

“It’s time we settled our score!”

He threw a palm strike at Feng Lingxiao’s head, the triple Void Flow Power circulating in his palm. It was enough to shatter Feng Lingxiao’s Dao body.

However, at that critical, split-second moment, a terrifying Bone Blade pressed down from above without any warning. An unyielding, horrific coercion caused Jiang Fan’s entire body to stiffen!

It was the Three Calamities Realm!

Without a second thought, he summoned eighteen Array Stones to protect his body. Simultaneously, he mobilized his remaining top-grade spirit swords, forming nine massive Lotus Sword Formations that surged upward against the sky.

CRACK! SHATTER!

Under the strike of a Three Calamities Realm expert, the top-grade spirit swords shattered one by one like fragile porcelain. However, the terrifying overlapping power of the Sword Arrays successfully caught the Bone Blade.

When the residual sword might penetrated the Sword Arrays and descended upon Jiang Fan’s body, it was absorbed by the Array Stones. Ultimately, this fatal sneak attack only caused Jiang Fan’s body to jolt violently and his insides to churn.

Naturally, Feng Lingxiao also took the opportunity to retreat rapidly, narrowly escaping with his life by the skin of his teeth.

Seeing the Bone Blade, his expression shifted slightly, and he hurriedly asked, “Senior Bone Struggle, why are you here?”

SWOOSH!

Beside him, the black-robed figure of the Bone Struggle Sage slowly materialized. He shot a sideways glance at Feng Lingxiao and sneered. “When there are benefits to be had, you don’t think of me, but only want to swallow them all yourself?

“And to think I’ve been protecting the Feng family all these years.”

As it turned out, he had noticed Feng Lingxiao’s unusual behavior of lingering behind the others. Coupled with his understanding of Feng Lingxiao’s character, he concluded that the younger man was after a monumental windfall. Thus, he had secretly followed him.

He hadn’t expected Feng Lingxiao to give him such a massive surprise. This person was actually Jiang Fan! Not only did he possess the mysterious Array Stones, but he also had the legendary Peace Monument and numerous other heavy treasures!

Now, all of these belonged to him!
