CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 269: VILLAIN

Li Fan moved at a lightning speed, seeing him come to kill, the Mana of two Condensed Core cultivators in front of Song Boling surged out, silently acknowledging the strong Sword Intent.

At this moment, Li Fan was like a beam of sword light. Even before he arrived, a mighty Sword Intent swept over, extremely sharp, causing their expressions to turn grave.

One of them was enveloped in an armor of earthy yellow, as if a giant figure of earth encircled him, raising a massive palm to seize Li Fan from afar, and violent Mana transformed into a prison, covering Li Fan’s body.

Yet the earthy prison was shredded under the Sword Intent, unable to impede Li Fan, as the massive palm came down with a deadly stroke.

"Boom..."

Li Fan’s body was like a sharp sword, directly piercing through the hand seal, while the other Condensed Core cultivator condensed a Dharma Seal, and wild flames transformed into a fire dragon rushing toward Li Fan.

In the instant they attacked, a colossal Sword Array suddenly appeared in front, countless sharp swords transformed into a sword ring, overshadowing the sky, killing forward.

The two’s expressions changed drastically, shifting from attack to defense, the Dharma Form appeared, protecting them frontally.

The left Condensed Core cultivator’s Dharma Form was a rock giant, with a loud roar, countless fist lights bombarded forward, while the right Condensed Core cultivator’s robe sleeves waved, seeming to send volcanic flames towards Li Fan, trying to melt the sharp swords into nothingness.

The attacks of the two Condensed Core cultivators clashed with the Sword Array, destructive waves swept out, their pupils enlarged, staring at the figure, a Foundation Establishment Sword Practitioner challenging a Condensed Core?

"Beware of the Soul-Attracting Bell in his hand," Song Boling warned from behind, only to see a golden bell continuously enlarging in the air, shooting towards them, the sound enveloped this space, invisible waves swept out.

Song Boling retreated violently, fearing an unforeseen incident, as countless illusions seemed to appear before him, as if unclear, silently acknowledging the Soul-Attracting Bell’s might, determined to acquire it.

The two Condensed Core cultivators experienced the same, their Divine Souls trembling, the left Condensed Core cultivator felt many images of Li Fan appearing before his eyes, focusing his mind, the images suddenly became clearer, many illusions before him transformed into a sword thrust.

Humph... with a cold grunt, he punched simultaneously forward, the shadow behind him also attacked forward, the Rock Hand Seal, extremely powerful, not fearing the sword of Foundation Establishment?

The Rock Hand Seal fell on Li Fan’s coming sharp sword, wild force poured out, sending the Sword Cultivator flying back, though his mind was still somewhat dazed, but he knew well, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was strong, but couldn’t overcome him.

"Careful..."

In a daze, a voice reached him, the thought just arose, a flying sword attacked from behind, causing his hair to stand on end, instantly shielding with armor.

The flying sword circled his neck, emitting sharp sounds, stone chips flew, and the Condensed Core cultivator’s neck spurted blood, his head tilted down.

The nearby Condensed Core cultivator’s face changed upon seeing this, he retreated, but saw the Soul-Attracting Bell flying above his head.

"Elder Li, save me," this cultivator pleaded for help, causing Song Boling’s face to pale, Condensed Core cultivator scared enough to seek aid from a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

But Old Monster Li was engaged by four Condensed Core cultivators, unable to spare himself, they were determined to obstruct Old Monster Li, allowing Li Fan to resolve the battle first, this was their only chance of victory.

Seeing Old Monster Li unable to assist, the Condensed Core cultivator turned to flee.

Li Fan would not let him escape, the Soul-Attracting Bell pursued him, ringing, with a flying sword roaring after him, countless fireballs surrounded the Condensed Core cultivator, crazily smashing towards the pursuing Li Fan.

Those fireballs exploded upon encountering the flying sword, unleashing terrifying flames.

"Clang..."

Another loud clash, the head was in a daze, in that moment of blur, a flying sword slammed onto his head, causing it to explode, instantly killing him.

Song Boling turned to flee upon seeing this, shouting, "Stop him."

However, behind him were only a few Foundation Establishment realm cultivators, who dared not stop him, all turned to escape.

Li Fan focused, the Soul-Attracting Bell flew into the sky, ringing, those Foundation Establishment cultivators felt a blur, then saw flying swords sweep past, one by one heads burst.

Song Boling still wanted to escape, but a flying sword pierced his arm, causing him to scream, turning to look at Li Fan, just about to speak, Li Fan’s palm fell directly on him, countless Sword Aura seeped into his body, Song Boling’s pupils enlarged, staring at Li Fan intently.

"How dare you..."

After Li Fan crippled his spiritual roots, he tossed him to the ground, Song Boling couldn’t be killed for now; he was to exchange him for the Rain of Resurrection.

"Watch him," Li Fan uttered, as Huang Xiong and others approached Song Boling, while Li Fan soared into the sky, heading towards the aerial battlefield.

The aerial battlefield was extremely fierce, Old Monster Li’s cultivation at the Mid Stage of Condensed Core, fighting against four.

Li Fan was not yet there, controlling the Soul-Attracting Bell towards Old Monster Li, the Soul-Attracting Bell rotated, Soul Capturing Power surged towards Old Monster Li.

"Brat, seeking death," Old Monster Li shouted, a bloody Thunder Palm Seal directly struck the Soul-Attracting Bell, Old Monster Li’s gaze swept to Li Fan’s side, blood-colored thunder transformed into a giant net, killing towards Li Fan.

"Watch out," Sun Zhao warned as he charged forward. A giant blade appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun as it slashed toward Old Monster Li.

Old Monster Li’s hand, like a sharp claw, pressed down through the air. Suddenly, the sinister shadow behind him stretched out blood-colored claws, grabbing the giant blade.

"Armor up front, array advance, attack," Meng Hong’s body shone with brilliant golden light. A divine glow erupted from him, and a specter of a Divine Weapon Heavenly General appeared behind him. In front of him, numerous golden armored divine warriors advanced simultaneously, a magnificent display.

"Boom..." The sky turned blood-red as countless crimson lightning bolts traversed the sky. Old Monster Li was surrounded by a skeletal blood-red figure, blocking the fierce attack.

"Die," Old Monster Li shouted. A magical treasure appeared in his hand—a blood-red claw—which he swung through the air, targeting Meng Hong with a gigantic blood claw.

Meng Hong’s magical treasure emitted an even more dazzling golden glow, cutting through the sky while the divine weapon protected his body.

A thunder whip kept extending, wrapping around Old Monster Li’s body, binding the gigantic skeletal figure.

"Kill his true body," Luo Qingyan yelled, her thunder whip suddenly radiating thunder light across the sky, paralyzing Old Monster Li.

Meanwhile, a massive snow-white fox appeared in the sky, its eyes fixed on Old Monster Li, as if trapping him in an illusion realm, with endless snow covering the heavens, threatening to freeze his body and divine soul.

"Buzz..." The Soul-Attracting Bell flew over Old Monster Li’s head again, constantly enlarging, dropping from above.

Then countless swords flew toward Old Monster Li, a barrage of swords fell down, striking the gigantic skeleton. Though they didn’t pierce it, none of them missed the opportunity as five figures flew forward simultaneously.

Frost covered the skeleton, blades flashed down, golden armored divine warriors and a pen stabbed, while Li Fan’s sword control formation formed into a single sword. The intense sound of impacts echoed as Old Monster Li let out a sharp howl, the skeleton shattered, and countless attacks pierced inside with a violent explosion.

A moment later, the blood light dispersed, and there was no trace of Old Demon Li.

"Dead," Meng Hong took a deep breath, coughing slightly, suffering a minor injury.

"Divide the spoils among the seniors," Li Fan said, heading downward.

"This fellow..." Luo Qingyan glanced at Li Fan as the group divided the spoils and then flashed beside Li Fan, looking down at Song Boling lying on the ground.

"Is his life worth exchanging for the Rain of Resurrection from the Song Family?" Li Fan asked, as Song Boling glared at him venomously.

"If it’s not worth it, just kill him; keeping him is useless."

"Worth it..." Song Boling hurriedly replied, "Do you want the Rain of Resurrection?"

"Does the Song Family have it?" Li Fan asked.

"Yes, recently my Song Family obtained the Rain of Resurrection," Song Boling responded, "If you let me go, I’ll ensure it is delivered with both hands. How about it?"

Li Fan looked at him with a strange expression.

Is Song Boling foolish, or does he think I’m foolish?

Now Luo Qingyan and the others understood that Li Fan wasn’t after Old Monster Li, but to lure out Song Boling and obtain the Rain of Resurrection.

Therefore, he didn’t want the magical treasures from Old Monster Li’s belongings, allowing them to divide them.

"With Song Boling in hand, is there a way to make the Song Family hand over the Rain of Resurrection?" Li Fan asked Luo Qingyan and Meng Hong beside him.

"I feel like I’ve boarded a pirate ship," Luo Qingyan said with a peculiar expression. They had allied to support each other for better survival on West Emperor Island.

Now Li Fan took them to kill Old Monster Li, kidnapped Song Boling, and intended to threaten the Song Family...

"Same sentiment," Meng Hong also said with a bitter smile, now stuck on the same boat, unable to disembark.

"But, it’s quite thrilling," Luo Qingyan said with a smile, not expecting Li Fan to be so bold. Once exposed, the Song Family would hunt them down.

Before, Song Boling schemed against them as a thief, now they seemed like the villains.

"For Song Boling, the Song Family would be willing to exchange the Rain of Resurrection. The key is how to obtain it," Luo Qingyan said, looking at Song Boling on the ground. "And after obtaining it, we can’t let him live, but if the Song Family doesn’t get him, they might not hand over the Rain of Resurrection easily."

Song Boling’s face turned even paler at Luo Qingyan’s words.

It seems his fate is doomed?

He glared venomously at Li Fan, this young man is even more ruthless than him.
