Chapter 303

A thousand trials of floating life end, a single lamp brightens the long day.

Suddenly a god-demon arrives, the great night suddenly stops turning.

The evening wind rises, the lonely moon is bright, a figure comes from afar, stirring the heart.

Xu family disciples, Mount Sanqing successors, great demons from the mountains... experts from all sides gathered here, hiding in this quiet courtyard. This small plot of land suddenly became a muddy, dangerous trap. With so many experts in the world, who would dare to cross the line?

Yet, Zhang Fan appeared here as if by magic. With one step, it was like crossing the ten-thousand-mile Yangtze River, like a leisurely stroll.

"Zhang Fan, you actually dare to follow us here?"

Xu Xu Banshan's eyes widened, his trembling face filled with disbelief.

This man was simply fearless. In this courtyard right now, surrounded by experts and great enemies like a tide, he actually dared to come alone, personally arriving in the lonely night!?

"You are Zhang Fan?"

Yu Yu Xuanji's gaze narrowed into a line, sizing up the seemingly unremarkable man before her.

Naturally, she was interested in the existence that Li Li Changgeng regarded as a heart-deep enemy.

It had to be said that, setting aside everything else, this courage alone was extraordinary.

"You are quite a character, daring to break into a dragon's pool and tiger's den?" Yu Yu Xuanji's eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance.

"You think he's a character, but I think he's an idiot, seeking his own death without knowing it," Huang Huang Liulang sneered.

"Good. Based on that sentence, I'll kill you first in a moment."

Zhang Fan grinned and chuckled, his calm gaze sweeping over every figure in the courtyard.

"A successor of Mount Mount Sanqing?"

Finally, Zhang Fan's gaze fell on Yu Yu Xuanji.

Qi Qi Delong had once said that the successors of the ten famous Daoist mountains in the world were no small matter; all were recognized by the ancestors and were born with great fortune.

Among the ten sects, Mount Mount Sanqing appeared extremely special because it and Mount Long Hu were both in Xijiang Province, and the distance between the two mountains was only three hundred miles.

Precisely because of this, throughout history, the development of Mount Mount Sanqing had almost always been under the control of the Long Hu Zhang family, hence the saying, "Two great Daoist sects in one region, dragons and tigers soar in Mount Mount Sanqing."

Eighty years ago, after the destruction of the Long Hu Zhang family, Mount Mount Sanqing began to truly show its edge, revealing its powerful foundation and strength.

"For the sake of Mount Mount Sanqing, tell me where Li Li Changgeng is, and you can live," Zhang Fan said with utmost sincerity.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Yu Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and then almost laughed out loud.

"Zhang Fan, your tone is truly bigger than the sky..."

"Determining life and death with a single word, viewing the heroes of the world as grass—do you think you are the Three-Corpse Daoist, or the Transcendent True Person!?"

A trace of mockery appeared on Yu Yu Xuanji's beautiful face.

"Sigh... then you can only die!"

A sigh like autumn water staining frost, layer upon layer, dissipated in this quiet courtyard.

Boom...

Almost at the same moment, everyone's expression changed abruptly; the peaceful aura receded, and the intent to kill rose suddenly.

Zhang Fan stepped forward, his pace getting faster and faster. Suddenly, a madman sharpened his knife in the night, the Emperor Star swayed, and the Fire Star was high—such a phenomenon covered the sky and earth, stretching from east to west, sweeping over.

"Scatter!"

Yu Yu Xuanji gave a sharp shout, her figure leaping up like thunder, and in the blink of an eye, she was ten meters away.

However, before her word "scatter" had even finished, Zhang Fan had already appeared in front of Huang Huang Liulang. His terrifying aura was like a great demon descending into the mortal world, and the moonlight around him was crushed at this moment.

"Confuse the Spirit!"

Huang Huang Liulang was worthy of being a great demon from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. His eyes narrowed, like a wisp of lamp wick, glowing with a faint luster.

Their lineage was well-versed in the changes of the soul-aspect, specializing in using demon arts to confuse the spirit and lose the trail. Even those with profound Daoist cultivation, if they accidentally entered the deep mountains, would fall for this great art, be dragged into ancient caves, have their flesh eaten, their bones swallowed, and their essence refined.

"So it's just a yellow-skinned rat."

Zhang Fan gave a light "hmm," his eyes sinking slightly, his gaze like a sword, actually meeting Huang Huang Liulang's gaze.

"Ah..."

The next moment, Huang Huang Liulang let out a miserable scream, blood flowing from his eyes; he had actually been blinded directly.

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect was terrifying, his divine intent encompassing all, difficult for any evil to invade. Daring to confuse the spirit with this art would surely lead to a backlash.

"The sky is high and desolate, the earth is deep and secluded, five dragons spit water to wash the golden basin, seven-treasure lotus flowers grow under the feet..."

"Majestic and glorious Xu Xu Jiulang, the disciple respectfully invites you to descend to the altar. A sword points to the candle to illuminate the red light, killing the sky and earth to be high and spirited!"

At this moment, a grand and vast sound, like the chanting of scriptures, like the singing of Sanskrit, came from behind.

Xu Changnian arrived with a killing intent, his primordial light soaring to the sky like an endless great star.

As soon as he finished chanting, red light pierced the sky, like a candle illuminating the firmament. Faintly, there was the blessing of the ancestor, the divine power was extraordinary, and the Daoist arts were prosperous.

"Xu Ancestor Xu Xu Jiulang!?"

Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but look over.

The Pure Yang family, in terms of foundation, was not below the ten great Daoist mountains in the world.

Xu Ancestor Xu Xun was the founding ancestor of the Jingming Sect of the Daoist Sect and was even revered as the Dharma Master by the Lushan Sect.

One must know that among the various sects of the Daoist Sect in the world, the Beidi Sect had the fiercest killing power, and the Lushan Sect had the most ruthless fierce power.

"Kill!!"

The true Yang around Xu Changnian suddenly turned into a clear breath. With one breath, sword Qi crisscrossed, and three feet became a blade.

"Dragon-Slaying Art!"

Zhang Fan focused his spirit.

The Xu family's 【Dragon-Slaying Art】 was famous throughout the world, and in terms of power, it was even above the 【Five Thunders Orthodox Art】.

Back then, the Xu Ancestor traveled the world, curing water disasters, suppressing river demons, and slaying dragons. He didn't know how much essence blood was dyed, nor how many lives were extracted, before he could refine this earth-shaking great art. Since it was passed down to the Xu family, how many people could obtain the essence of this art?

"Dragon-Slaying Art, Dragon-Slaying Art, who can refine the sword to obtain this art? Relying only on the breath in the chest, one can sweep away demons and slay all demons."

Xu Xu Banshan and Xu Xu Zhixia's eyes trembled, filled with awe. As disciples of the Xu family, they knew better than anyone how stunning and difficult to resist this sword was.

"One sword slays the dragon and crosses the ocean, respectfully inviting Lushan's Xu Xu Jiulang!"

The red light above Xu Changnian's head flourished, like a red candle illuminating the firmament. That sword Qi crisscrossed, looking even more extraordinary. Its movement seemed to produce blood light, originally formed from the essence blood of a dragon. Even if separated by thousands of miles, it could fly the sword to slay the essence soul.

"Good Daoist art!"

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up. He stood horizontally in place, naturally remaining motionless.

"You have the Xu Ancestor's Dragon-Slaying Art, I have the Lv Ancestor's Fire Dragon Sword!"

As the words fell, a fire light soared into the sky, condensing from in front of Zhang Fan. Brilliant and majestic, the Dan Marvel Art, the Lv Ancestor's Pure Yang Fire Dragon Sword.

Zhang Fan's cultivation today required no Dharma seals, no chanting of incantations; the true fire rose from his heart, returning to simplicity, and everything fell into place.

Boom...

The fire dragon turned into a sword, its aura slaying the dragon. After a thousand or a hundred years, the unique skills of two great divine figures collided in the mortal world on this night, at this moment. The heavens were moved, and it was exceptionally clear.

"Yellow Sand Barrier!"

Hum...

At this moment, a sound of breaking wind attacked from behind, chilling like bones growing from a withered tomb, majestic like a million soldiers of yellow sand.

The Yin wind turned into a barrier, the flying sand like knives, actually turning into a line, aimed at the back of Zhang Fan's head.

"Die!"

Huang Huang Liulang hissed in a low voice. This mouthful of Yin wind and yellow sand was refined by his demon art, turning nine times, breaking the soul-aspect, and shaving away Daoist cultivation. Even when facing the Daoist Sect's thunder and fire dual arts, he was completely fearless.

Boom...

Almost at the same moment, a true fire soared into the sky behind Zhang Fan, turning into a barrier.

The Yin wind tore, the yellow sand filled the air, actually breaking through that true fire barrier. In the blink of an eye, it was only half a meter away from the back of Zhang Fan's head.

Bang...

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, the fire dragon sword collapsed instantly, scattering into a great fire that filled the entire courtyard.

The dragon-slaying sword turned into a vast clear breath, soaring nine yards into the air, as if it had spiritual intelligence, and returned to in front of Xu Changnian again.

Taking advantage of the gap, Zhang Fan's body suddenly lowered, the yellow sand barrier brushed past, blasting the rockery not far away until it cracked and collapsed.

"Extremely dangerous, extremely dangerous!"

In the distance, Xu Xu Zhixia's beautiful face lost its color, already stunned and dumbfounded.

In her eyes, just in that instant, Zhang Fan seemed to have experienced life and death, first facing the Dragon-Slaying Art, then avoiding the Yellow Sand Barrier. The chance of survival was only in a split second, yet facing these two great experts, how many people in the world today could grasp that chance of survival in a split second?

Such temperament, such Daoist cultivation, such methods...

Xu Xu Zhixia was in a trance. She knew that the Zhang Fan before her was no longer the Zhang Fan she knew. Standing at the edge of the desolate mountain, he looked up and down like a heavenly monument.

He had already stood at a height she could not peer into.

"The High Truth of the Purple Mansion descends to the Jade Capital, the Divine Heaven Thunder Art operates the Heavenly Scripture. The gale is vast and drives away evil spirits, a single point of spiritual light clears ten thousand kalpas."

Suddenly, a Sanskrit sound chanted, vast and nameless.

That successor of Mount Mount Sanqing, who had been enduring and not acting, finally made a move. This woman had sharp eyes and judged the opportunity like a god, seizing this best moment. The true fire retreated and extinguished, the art had not yet turned, and as soon as she made a move, it was the world-famous...

"Divine Heaven Thunder Art!"

Thunder arts in the world did not go beyond the Divine Heaven; above the nine heavens, the Purple Mansion was king.

"Zhang Fan, even if you have the ability to reach the sky today, you will still fall here."

Yu Yu Xuanji gave a sharp shout. A small tower appeared in her palm, clear and bright like glass. The six corners of the tower were hung with golden bells. When the wind rose, the golden bells rang, shaking and producing thunder light.

"Green Feather Dharma Treasure, Wind and Thunder Tower!"

Xu Xu Banshan's eyes lit up, and he recognized it instantly.

Legend had it that there was an ancient tower in Mount Mount Sanqing, five stories and six sides, named the Wind and Thunder Tower. Tempered by wind and thunder, it had not fallen for a thousand years and was a mysterious treasure land of Mount Mount Sanqing.

This Dharma treasure of Yu Yu Xuanji was refined from a cornerstone of wind and thunder, with wind and thunder arts carved inside and the Mount Sanqing Daoist Sect appearing outside.

"Good, worthy of being a successor of Mount Mount Sanqing, he is finished." Xu Xu Banshan watched, his heart rising and falling, and he let out a long breath, as if all the humiliation and gloom he had suffered tonight had been swept away.

Boom...

The gale blew, the thunder shook, as if the heavens had sent down karmic obstacles, trapping Zhang Fan tightly, like a trapped beast in a cage, never to see the light of day again.

Hum...

At this moment, Huang Huang Liulang let out a cold snort, and the Yellow Sand Barrier descended from the sky, adding an insurance policy to that "death prison."

A million yellow sands rose, each grain like a flying knife. Such a terrifying demon art, even with High Merit cultivation, once touched, was like being thrown into a meat grinder.

Bang...

Xu Changnian flicked his finger, raising the Dragon-Slaying Art again. A clear breath like a long rainbow piercing the sun merged into the rolling wind and thunder.

Blocking the path, cutting off the way, destroying the chance of survival, making it difficult to return.

The terror of the three great experts was undoubtedly manifested at this moment.

Xu Xu Zhixia clenched her hands tightly, her fingernails almost sinking into her flesh, and her heart sank to the bottom instantly.

"No matter how crazy, he still has to die. Li Li Changgeng mobilized so many people, he really overestimated this person."

Huang Huang Liulang's eyes bled, but at this moment, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Killing him is fine, it eliminates future trouble," Yu Yu Xuanji nodded and whispered.

"Let the warm-up end here."

At this moment, a cold voice came from within the great Wind and Thunder Barrier.

Everyone's expression changed abruptly, and a sense of ominousness arose in their hearts.

Boom...

At this moment, a majestic phenomenon soared into the sky, like a wicked dragon rushing to the sky, like treasure light shaking the earth, actually tearing the great Wind and Thunder Barrier apart.

The yellow sand retreated in gloom, the sword Qi fled toward the sky in horror.

"This... this is..."

Zhang Fan stepped out, his body filled with endless essence Qi, faint treasure light showing through, flowing under his skin, flowing in his blood.

"Heaven-born and earth-raised, Dragon-Toad Treasure Qi!?" Yu Yu Xuanji's beautiful face lost its color, her eyes filled with deep shock and doubt.

"Stop him!"

Everyone was in a trance, not having reacted yet.

Zhang Fan had already appeared in front of Xu Changnian. He once again sacrificed the Dragon-Slaying Art, slashing toward Zhang Fan's head. At such a close distance, there was no chance of survival.

"Dragon-Slaying cannot slay the dragon!"

The Dragon-Toad Treasure Qi was invincible, wrapping around Zhang Fan's hand. He actually pinched it lightly, shattering the Dragon-Slaying sword that Xu Changnian had gathered, turning it into streams of clear Qi.

"You are seeking death!"

Xu Changnian let out a long howl. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, and his soul-aspect actually left his body. Black and white flowing light rotated, and the terrifying phenomenon was like a god or a demon.

Such a soul-aspect, even Yu Yu Xuanji in the distance couldn't help but show a strange expression.

"Divine Demon Sacred Fetus... this is the power of the Divine Demon Sacred Fetus... today I will let you see this legendary Inner Dan Art..." Xu Changnian roared sharply.

"You're far off."

Before the words were finished, a large hand reached out from the air, actually grabbing Xu Changnian's soul-aspect fiercely.

At this moment, that unprecedentedly powerful soul-aspect was as tender as a chick in Zhang Fan's palm.

"I'll let you see what the real Divine Demon Sacred Fetus is!" Zhang Fan grinned and chuckled.

Boom...

Primordial light soared, heaven and earth were chaotic.

Everyone was terrified, only feeling a darkness before their eyes, like an eternal great night, never to see the light of day again.

"You... you..."

Xu Changnian's soul-aspect struggled frantically, his eyes revealing an incomparably terrified expression. At this moment, how could he not see it, not guess it thoroughly...

"A successor of the Divine Demon Sacred Fetus!?"

Boom...

Zhang Fan didn't give him time to react at all. The next moment, Xu Changnian's soul-aspect was like falling into a millstone under Zhang Fan's pressure, exploding directly and turning into a stream of light.

Zhang Fan opened his mouth fiercely, actually swallowing that stream of light into his belly.

Boom...

In an instant, his soul-aspect changed, actually splitting again, producing a sixth primordial light.

"Truly a great tonic!" Zhang Fan smacked his lips.

This scene, falling into the eyes of everyone, was like the earth shattering, terrifying their hearts and spirits.

"Run quickly, this person is hard to match, only Li Li Changgeng can suppress him," Yu Yu Xuanji gave a violent shout and turned to leave.

At this very moment, this successor of Mount Mount Sanqing couldn't help but feel boundless fear in her heart.

"Still want to leave?"

Zhang Fan stepped out and arrived in front of Huang Huang Liulang. Just now, this yellow-skinned rat had the cheapest mouth.

"You..."

Huang Huang Liulang could not see, but Zhang Fan's aura was too real, too terrifying.

"Run!"

Yu Yu Xuanji bit her silver teeth, sacrificed the Wind and Thunder Tower, the gale rose, the thunder roared, actually smashing toward Zhang Fan.

"You are overwhelmed, and you still want to save others?"

Zhang Fan let out a cold laugh, the Bone Relic soared into the sky, mysterious light a thousand feet long, rippling and breaking the wind and thunder, actually colliding fiercely with the Wind and Thunder Tower, setting off ten thousand paths of fire.

Zhang Fan raised a hand, sacrificed the 【Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover】, and firmly suppressed that Wind and Thunder Tower.

"My treasure!"

Yu Yu Xuanji's eyes were about to split, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and the thunder light around her instantly dimmed.

At the same time, Zhang Fan didn't even look, the Dragon-Toad Treasure Qi like a flood breaking a dam, the terrifying power directly pressing Huang Huang Liulang into a pool of meat paste.
