Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2270: Chapter 2316: Completely Relaxed

Answering him was a dazzling streak of crimson light.

Before the Three Calamities Realm expert could react, he was turned into a pile of minced meat. His soul couldn’t escape either, being taken away by the Blood Spear.

The colossal blood moon of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis brushed past the Hengsha Realm, leaving behind his icy voice.

"Allowing him to stay also means death!"

At this moment, the paper crane’s speed gradually slowed down, and the expressions of the trio grew solemn.

The Big Black Dog said, "Had we known this would happen, we should’ve captured a bunch of Sages in Nanqian to act as our beasts of burden for the Laws."

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment but did not ask the Sages in the Life Space Pocket for help.

The Power of Laws of those two was limited; it was only enough to sustain the paper crane for a short flight. It was fine to use them as a life-saving trump card, but using them just to travel would undoubtedly be a waste.

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder said, "Kid, use the Void Feather Robes to travel.

"Although its speed isn’t as fast as the paper crane when fully activated, it’s still enough to reach another world before the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis."

The Big Black Dog bared its teeth. "Once we reach that world, we’ll figure out a way to sneak in and snatch a few Sages."

Jiang Fan remained silent, quietly taking out three Void Feather Robes. He replenished the other two with Holy Power and handed them to the Heavenly Mechanism Elder and the Big Black Dog respectively.

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

One Void Feather Robe was enough for the three of them to share. Why waste two extra ones?

Jiang Fan said calmly, "Let’s part ways here."

What?

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was shocked. "The next world is just ahead!"

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "So what if we reach it?

"Even your friend of many years didn’t dare to bet a whole world to help me, let alone an unknown, unfamiliar world.

"If we really head over there, we’ll only be captured and offered as a gift to curry favor with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis."

The Big Black Dog grew anxious. "Like I said, we’ll sneak in quietly!"

Jiang Fan shook his head. "With our strength, how many can we capture? Even if we do, can we retreat safely?

"And even if we manage to escape, will we have enough time?"

Jiang Fan took out the Hell Soul Bell and flicked it with his finger. The wisp of the Big Black Dog’s soul trapped inside was released, merging back into its body.

"Go to the Martial Vault and find your master. Thanks for accompanying me along the way."

The Big Black Dog had regained its freedom. This was the day it had dreamed of, yet at this moment, it felt no excitement at all. It didn’t even seem to care.

Instead, it paced in circles around Jiang Fan. "Brat, don’t give up!

"We haven’t reached the final moment yet. How can you just let it go?"

Jiang Fan patted its canine head and said, "Before, you tried every possible way to bite me back. Now that I’m truly out of luck, why are you more anxious than I am?"

The Big Black Dog didn’t know what was wrong with itself either. If Jiang Fan died, it should have been happier than anyone else. Yet, now that this day had truly arrived, it didn’t want him to fall.

"Who’s anxious? The Dog Lord just doesn’t want you to die at the hands of someone else.

"You’ve bullied me for so long, and I haven’t even started settling the score with you yet!"

Jiang Fan smiled warmly. This damn dog didn’t have a bad nature after all.

He said with a sense of peace, "The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis kills Three Slaughters Realm experts like butchering dogs. What’s the point of you staying?

"It’s better if I face him alone, so I can go all out in the battle!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was astounded. Jiang Fan was actually planning to fight the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

But it made sense!

A universal proclamation across the heavens had already left Jiang Fan completely isolated and helpless in the Void, forcing him into a dead end. Besides fighting with his life on the line, there was no other way out!

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder looked at the sky and said, "Fine, I can leave.

"However, no matter what desperate situation you find yourself in, please do not lose heart.

"The Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation clearly could have given you a heavy treasure to resist the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, but he only gave you a paper crane to point the way. He must have concluded that you could turn this peril into a blessing!"

The Big Black Dog’s eyes lit up. It remembered that while spending time with Rebellious Guy and Hua Xin in the mirror, they had accidentally mentioned that Jiang Fan had an inescapable fatal tribulation.

He was destined to die at the hands of the woman he trusted most.

In other words, if Jiang Fan faced the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis alone, his life wouldn’t actually be in danger.

"Kid!" The Big Black Dog opened its mouth and spat out a brand-new golden bell. It said with a pained expression, "My master gave me this bell. It contains a surge of Nanqian’s providence.

"When you’re in danger, shout the Spell: The Number One Dog in the World!

"This providence will help you avert disaster."

Oh?

Jiang Fan finally understood how the Big Black Dog had managed to survive a strike from the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis back then. So it had a trump card like this.

After pondering for a long while, Jiang Fan took the bell. "Thanks."

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder put on his Void Feather Robe and said, "I’ll leave this paper crane for you. Hopefully, it can still be of some use."

Jiang Fan did not stand on ceremony and nodded as he accepted it. If he didn’t, the man and dog before him wouldn’t leave.

"Get as far away from me as possible. Farewell!"

He cupped his hands deeply toward the Big Black Dog and the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, then turned his head and continued on his way in the direction the paper crane had set.

Once he was completely far away from them, Jiang Fan took the Space Mirror out from his robes. A helpless smile curled the corners of his mouth.

Last time, in front of the Martial Vault, he had already explained his final arrangements to Rebellious Guy and Hua Xin. He had thought it was an unnecessary move, but in the end, it was unavoidable.

This was fine too; it saved him from a sentimental scene.

He directly released Rebellious Guy and Hua Xin. They were already aware of the situation outside, so there was no need to say more.

Looking at the Angel’s body stitched together by Hua Xin, Jiang Fan took out the Hell Soul Bell and said, "It’s time to fulfill my promise!"

He had promised Hua Xin that he would return her freedom. If he didn’t fulfill it now, he wouldn’t have another chance.

With a thought, he mobilized a large number of mutated souls from the Soul Suppressing Tower and activated the black face of the Hell Soul Bell.

"Take it," Jiang Fan said as he tossed the activated Hell Soul Bell to her.

With this bell, any soul-level damage caused by the eruption of the Nine-Colored Thunderbolt Seal on this body would be absorbed, allowing her to safely detach from the body.

Hua Xin caught the bell, played with it for a few moments, and then tossed it back to Jiang Fan.

"Don’t you want your freedom?" Jiang Fan asked in surprise.

Hua Xin said lazily, "In this world, things given by others are the most boring. Only what you snatch for yourself is fun.

"Keep your life for now, and wait for me to snatch it.

"Let’s go, Rebellious Guy."

Rebellious Guy, however, asked anxiously, "Are we just going to ignore Big Brother?"

Hua Xin chuckled. "With the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s proclamation out, there are plenty of women who will care about him. It’s not our turn."

After saying this, she left with Rebellious Guy.

Jiang Fan stood stunned for a long time before an uncontrollable, faint, and warm smile curled his lips.

"Every single one of them usually hates my guts.

"Yet, at the crucial moment, they all pretend to be good people."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Fan turned his head to look at the Void behind him. Right now, he felt completely relaxed, with no lingering worries.

He only had to wait for the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis to arrive and battle him!

"This time, I hope you have some other methods aside from the Blood Spear.

"Otherwise, I might not be the one who dies!"
