Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Ye Banxia’s Strength

Leng shouted coldly, "Woman who doesn’t know life from death!"

"I wanted to let you live a little longer!"

Whoosh—

The black blade, shimmering with a biting chill, swiftly slashed down.

Soon, a beautiful head rolled to the ground.

Boom—

But at that very moment.

An arrow was shot through the air onto the black blade.

The powerful force caused the black blade to veer, slicing past Leng Qingzhu’s earlobe.

A streak of blood immediately surged forth, trickling down in crimson Blood Pearls.

Li Shangqiu looked up, his gaze suddenly froze.

He saw a figure transformed from a Thunderbolt, plummeting rapidly from the sky.

A longbow was clasped in his hand.

As he was about to land, a Purple Sword flew out, with him standing on the Flying Sword racing towards them.

"Jiang Fan?"

Li Shangqiu’s eyes showed a trace of dread, then his eyes shifted, he smiled, saying:

"I was joking with Junior Sister Leng."

"Don’t misunderstand."

Murderous intent arose within him.

The matter of slaughtering Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion members, how could it be let known to Jiang Fan?

Alas, first he must stabilize Jiang Fan.

Then deliver him a sudden blow!

Whoosh whoosh—

Who knew.

Jiang Fan didn’t pay him any mind.

He raised his hand and shot two arrows towards the Dantian of the two remaining Wuji members beside him.

"What are you doing?" Li Shangqiu’s face changed dramatically.

He hurriedly struck, a black blade slashing out, successfully severing the two arrowheads.

Just as he thought he had saved his companions.

Jiang Fan made a tearing sound, transformed into a lightning shadow, flashed behind a member.

The Purple Sword pierced through his abdomen, shattering his Golden Core within.

"Ah! Luo Dan!"

Li Shangqiu roared angrily, "You destroyed her Golden Core!"

Luo Dan was both a core member at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation and his lover!

But Jiang Fan, right before his eyes, destroyed her cultivation!

He charged furiously at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan retaliated by releasing a blood-red lotus flower, then wielding his sword, he advanced towards another core member.

"Junior Brother Jiang, it’s none of my business, none of my business... Ah!"

Jiang Fan showed no mercy, directly shattering his Golden Core as well.

"When Li Shangqiu made you queue up, you seemed quite pleased about it."

"Zhang Shiyuan!" Li Shangqiu barely managed to exert all his might to block the blood-colored lotus flower.

He witnessed this scene, enraged to the point of shouting uncontrollably.

The only two Ninth Layer members of his team had all been crippled by Jiang Fan!

Jiang Fan coldly raised his sword, pointing at him:

"Your comrades only lost their cultivation."

"My two senior brothers, however, lost their lives."

"Now it’s your turn. Since we’re a team, you should all be neatly crippled together!"

What?

Li Shangqiu’s eyes widened in anger, realizing that the other team members were all crippled!

The Wuji he had painstakingly built.

Utterly ruined!

"Jiang Fan! I’ll fight you to the end!" Li Shangqiu lost his former dominance.

Face full of rage, he gripped the black blade tightly, slashing fiercely at Jiang Fan.

His stance seemed intent on battling Jiang Fan to the death.

But in the next instant, his figure retreated violently.

He intended to escape.

In a solo battle, he lacked confidence in defeating Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan wasn’t surprised.

As a former first team leader, Li Shangqiu wasn’t one to act rashly.

However, trying to flee in front of him seemed somewhat far-fetched.

He was just about to pursue.

In the distance, a jade-carved phoenix chair flew in the air.

On it sat a girl in an elegant black long dress, with long straight black hair, and equally long straight legs.

She was crossing her legs, resting a hand on her snow-white cheek.

The other hand holding a jade ruler, gently tapping her slender, rounded thigh.

"Ye Banxia?"

Seeing her, Li Shangqiu rejoiced, saying, "You arrived just in time."

"Jiang Fan has gone mad, slaughtering the innocent."

"He killed the disciples of Yunyang Master and crippled my Wuji disciples."

"You must speak for me..."

Ye Banxia gave him a faint glance.

Casually swung the jade ruler in her hand.

A palm-sized array diagram suddenly appeared, instantly striking Li Shangqiu’s abdomen.

With a crack.

The sound of a shattered Golden Core suddenly rose.

His cultivation was thus crippled.

"Ah~"

"Ye Banxia!!!"

"You crippled my cultivation?"

"Why?"

Li Shangqiu could hardly believe it.

For no reason, Ye Banxia suddenly attacked him?

And cruelly, without mercy, crippled his cultivation!

Ye Banxia looked down at him coldly: "I don’t like being lied to."

She was a person skilled in strategic manipulation.

With just a quick glance, she could figure out the seven or eight possibilities of the situation.

Where could Li Shangqiu have used her?

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.

This woman...

Previously, when she was affected by the Fragrant Corpse Pills and could not exhibit her strength, Jiang Fan did not think much of her as an impressive dark horse.

Now, he was somewhat frightened.

With a casual strike, she could cripple the cultivation of someone who had reached the Ninth Layer Perfection of Core Formation like herself.

If she had displayed this strength back then.

With Jiang Fan’s cultivation at the Sixth Level of Core Formation at the time, he would not have been a match at all.

No wonder when she had them under her suppression and confinement, Ren Guhong and Wu Manyue, those two old foxes, admitted defeat so readily.

Having dealt with Li Shangqiu.

The jade Phoenix chair slowly flew to Jiang Fan.

Ye Banxia looked down at Jiang Fan, still exuding the aura of an imperious queen.

"How should we settle our score?"

Jiang Fan showed a wary expression.

This woman’s array was unusually strange.

"What score?"

"You tried to use me but got manipulated by me instead."

"Consider it even."

Ye Banxia tapped her jade ruler lightly on her thigh and said indifferently:

"Calculations are calculations, I accept my loss."

"But what about taking my jade Phoenix chair?"

"Return it to me."

Ha!

Jiang Fan stepped back a few paces and said, "I got the chair with my skills, why should I return it?"

"You caused my Dragon Blood Lotus Seed to be exposed, I haven’t even settled that score with you!"

The frequency of the tapping of Ye Banxia’s jade ruler on her thigh slowed down.

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Do you intend to fight me?"

"You might not be my match."

She had seen Jiang Fan’s fight with Luo Yingshuang.

But, she still had the confidence to say such words.

It was clear she truly had this assurance.

However.

After his training in the Thunder Pool, Jiang Fan had experienced a qualitative leap in all aspects, and he was no longer the same as when he fought Luo Yingshuang.

"To get back the jade Phoenix chair, you’ll need to trade something for it."

He tightened his grip on the Purple Sword.

A sharp gleam of sword light flickered from the sword, exuding a unique glow.

Ye Banxia’s eyes fell upon this sword.

Suddenly, her battle intent subsided.

She said calmly, "Alright then, since you like the jade Phoenix chair, you can have it."

"It’s an artifact for transcending tribulations."

"If you have a beloved woman, you can gift it to her, increasing her chances of transcending tribulations by thirty percent."

Thirty percent?

Is that true?

Even the Bodhi Pill doesn’t have such magical effects, does it?

Jiang Fan was quite surprised.

When he wanted to inquire further, Ye Banxia was already sitting on the jade Phoenix chair, turning away and leaving.

As she turned away.

A smile with a profound meaning appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but want to take out the jade Phoenix chair from the Heavenly Thunder Stone to study it.

In the distance, there was the dull thud of Leng Qingzhu collapsing to the ground.

The last of her strength had been used to bite Li Shangqiu.

Seeing Li Shangqiu get his deserved retribution, she relaxed completely and could no longer hold on, passing out.

Jiang Fan quickly went over.

Without hesitation, he fed her a Revitalizing Pill.

Her complexion visibly improved at a rapid pace.

It wouldn’t be long before she woke up.

Jian Linyuan also rushed over at this time.

Seeing Leng Qingzhu still alive and unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Jiang, if it weren’t for you, the seven of us might have perished here."

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "In the end, we still lost two people."

"Yunyang Master will surely be very upset."

Jian Linyuan was about to say something when his expression changed slightly.

He awkwardly said, "Junior Brother Jiang, do you have any more of the Revitalizing Pill that you gave Junior Sister Leng?"

"I’d like to buy one."

Hmm?

When Jiang Fan gave Leng Qingzhu the Revitalizing Pill, Jian Linyuan hadn’t arrived yet, had he?

How did he know?

Wait a minute!

The guard hidden by his side?
