The crowd hadn't expected Yun Fan's tone to be so bold.
At this moment, the two women retreated. Although Xue Zhi was worried about Yun Fan, she could only choose to trust him at this juncture.
Thus, Yun Fan was left to face the Four Great Vassal Kings of Tian Can Di Que all by himself.
The Four Great Vassal Kings wore expressions of amusement, for in their eyes, Yun Fan was no match for them.
They couldn't fathom where Yun Fan's courage came from, to fight four opponents alone.
Even if Yun Fan was a young prodigy, how could he compare to Cang Tian?
Cang Tian himself had nearly died at their hands, let alone a mere Yun Fan, who was simply overestimating himself.
At this moment, Yun Fan spoke, "The four of you, how about I fight you?"
"Hahahaha!"
The four laughed heartily, "Kid, you're so eager to die, we have no reason not to oblige you!"
"Indeed!"
They said dismissively to Yun Fan, "Perhaps the three of you together could last a little longer, but you dare to face us four alone, truly overestimating yourself!"
"Don't waste words with him, kill him instantly!"
After all, their target was not Yun Fan, but Cang Tian.
Therefore, at this moment, they didn't want to waste time on Yun Fan.
In that instant, the four attacked. The one in the lead surged forward, arriving before Yun Fan.
"Slash!"
With a fierce shout, this strike was one of peak power.
It was intended to directly sever Yun Fan's head.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan easily intercepted his power and struck back.
*Bang!*
In an instant, the leading vassal king suffered a severe blow.
"What?"
At this moment, both the two women and the Four Great Vassal Kings were stunned. They were the strongest among those in the late stage of Hedao.
They hadn't expected that such an existence would not be Yun Fan's opponent.
Then, another person attacked. In his eyes, his comrade had clearly been careless, which allowed Yun Fan to succeed.
As for himself, he showed no carelessness when facing Yun Fan; he was going all out.
With his full effort, it was a complete crushing situation for Yun Fan.
As expected, as his strike descended, intending to kill Yun Fan instantly, Yun Fan transformed into an invincible war god. Not only did he not evade the killing blow, but he charged headlong into it.
In his eyes, Yun Fan became an outright madman.
"Overestimating yourself!"
He said contemptuously.
*Boom!*
The moment the two collided, this vassal king was sent flying like a broken kite, while Yun Fan stood calmly in place.
It was as if nothing had happened.
To Yun Fan, that was merely a casual strike, far from his peak.
"Is Husband so strong?"
Xue Zhi's eyes were dazed. This was far beyond being invincible among peers!
It could be said that the opponent had used their peak power, while Yun Fan had merely acted with ease.
He hadn't even exerted his peak strength.
For anyone, Yun Fan could have killed them instantly.
"How did he get so strong!"
Even more shocked was Huan Ling.
Thinking back to when Yun Fan was at the same level as her, even with all her might, she was not his opponent.
Unexpectedly, upon reaching the late stage of Hedao, Yun Fan had surpassed her by far among peers.
If he reached his peak, wouldn't she be completely crushed by Yun Fan?
Only if she reached her peak and fought him with the Tian Xin Mark might she have a chance of winning; otherwise, she would definitely not be Yun Fan's opponent.
It had to be said that having grown to this stage, Yun Fan's invincible aura had gradually begun to show.
She felt both joy and sorrow in her heart.
The joy was that they were saved. Although the real battle hadn't truly begun, she could boldly speculate that Yun Fan could defeat the Four Great Vassal Kings.
The sorrow was that after Yun Fan broke through to his peak, would he target her first? After all, even now, she and Yun Fan had not truly reconciled.
Therefore, at this moment, Huan Ling was nervous. If Yun Fan were to kill her prematurely, she would have no chance at all.
It could be said that her heart was extremely complex at this moment.
Of course, the greater pressure was on the Four Great Vassal Kings, who had never imagined Yun Fan would be so strong.
They were at the same level as him, yet the invincible talent Yun Fan displayed left no one capable of resisting.
The gap between their strength and Yun Fan's was immeasurable.
The second vassal king had already used his peak strength, while Yun Fan had merely made a casual move.
At this moment, they were already terrified by Yun Fan.
"This brat is not simple. Attack together, don't go in one by one!"
They warned each other.
Because going in one by one was not Yun Fan's opponent, they might even be defeated one by one by Yun Fan.
"Alright!"
Having realized the seriousness of the situation, the four no longer dared to fight Yun Fan alone. For them, Yun Fan's threat was far greater than Cang Tian's.
As long as Yun Fan died, Cang Tian would have no chance to retaliate. However, they were all extremely afraid.
When dealing with a martial artist like Yun Fan, if they couldn't kill him with a single blow, Yun Fan would surely take at least two of them down.
None of them wanted to die, so even when they joined forces, they didn't unleash their full power. Each of them wanted to guard against Yun Fan taking them down.
This made Yun Fan very angry, because this kind of fight was not satisfying at all!
For this reason, he immediately said, "The four of you, don't waste time, attack with all you have! You're all going to die by my hand anyway, so there's no need to be wary!"
"Arrogant!"
"Presumptuous!"
The four vassal kings hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so arrogant. Therefore, at this moment, they attacked with full force.
They refused to believe Yun Fan could be so monstrous as to fight four alone!
As expected, at this moment, they unleashed their full combat power. Four powerful strikes surged towards Yun Fan.
Yun Fan had been locked onto in advance, meaning that even if Yun Fan wanted to escape, it would be impossible.
Huan Ling and Xue Zhi were extremely worried. Faced with such killing blows, either of them would have been unable to withstand them.
Xue Zhi would have been certain to die, while Huan Ling, though not necessarily dead, would at least have been heavily injured.
Therefore, at this moment, they were all watching Yun Fan's performance.
Yun Fan was seen condensing his Zhan Tian power in advance, forming a shield before him.
*Bang!*
As the four strikes simultaneously hit the shield, the very heavens and earth seemed to change color.
After all, these were the peak powers of four individuals in the late stage of Hedao! Besides those in the peak of Hedao, who could contend with them?
Therefore, at this moment, the Four Great Vassal Kings were convinced that Yun Fan was doomed to die.
Even Huan Ling and Xue Zhi's hearts were in their throats.
However, the scene they witnessed made everyone gasp.
Not for any other reason, but because the four strikes had hit Yun Fan's shield, yet they couldn't even break it.
This disparity was not a small one; not only could they not break the shield, but there wasn't even a single crack.
"Impossible!"
The Four Great Vassal Kings were dumbfounded. Who could have imagined Yun Fan would be this strong?
This was no longer a display of invincibility; this was a monstrous prodigy among prodigies.
Why was such an unknown nobody so monstrous?
Although he was a Heavenly level expert, invincible among peers, they were convinced that even a Heavenly level expert, when encountering Yun Fan, could not defeat him at the same level.
Huan Ling was a prime example.
Although Yun Fan had not used his peak strength throughout the entire encounter, they were already terrified.
The inner defenses and the will to fight of the Four Great Vassal Kings crumbled.
They stopped attacking and fled.
That's right. Despite having an absolute advantage, they were so terrified by Yun Fan that they fled.
Therefore, at this moment, their only course of action was to escape; they had no interest in continuing the fight.
They didn't even want to fight together anymore because they saw the aura of death emanating from Yun Fan.
Their instincts told them that if they stayed to fight, they would surely die.
"Trying to leave?"
Yun Fan sneered. The reason he hadn't used his peak power earlier was not to show off.
It was to set a trap, a trap designed to keep all four vassal kings.
Therefore, the moment the four fled, he immediately pulled them into his invincible world.
"So Husband has such a backup plan!"
Xue Zhi was astonished.
"Will Husband be alright?"
Although Yun Fan had already displayed his invincible advantage and had scared away the four late-stage Hedao vassal kings before even launching an attack, at this moment, because she couldn't see or feel anything, Xue Zhi was still very worried about Yun Fan's safety.
"He should be fine, right?"
Huan Ling said, "Although we can't see the process of the battle, I can be certain that he will be the ultimate winner! Because he is invincible!"
"That's great then!"
Xue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yun Fan was alright, that was enough.
As for killing the Four Great Vassal Kings, in her opinion, it didn't matter.
Because what she cared about most was Yun Fan.
Huan Ling said speechlessly, "Senior Sister, you should be worried about me, not him!"
"Why?"
Xue Zhi asked, puzzled.
"The Four Great Vassal Kings are doomed. I can feel their Dao hearts rapidly dissipating, but next, he will surely kill me!"
This was what Huan Ling was truly worried about. From the moment they met until now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were locked in a battle of love and hate.
As long as she found an opportunity, she would do her utmost to harm the other.
This was undeniable. However, she hadn't expected that she would become the ultimate loser.
Therefore, at this moment, it was impossible for her not to worry.
If Yun Fan were to kill her, her grand ambition would be over.
Xue Zhi also showed a troubled expression. After all, Huan Ling was the one who had acted maliciously first. Therefore, persuading Yun Fan to spare Huan Ling seemed unlikely.
After all, Huan Ling had indeed done excessive things before. In fact, she didn't know that Yun Fan had done even more excessive things prior.
Of course, none of that mattered now.
What was important was how to resolve the conflict between the two.
At this moment, she quickly said, "Junior Sister, what attitude can you show! An attitude of reconciliation. It's come to this, you shouldn't be perfunctory anymore!" Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Xue Zhi still wanted to try her best to save Huan Ling.
Therefore, she wanted to see if Huan Ling truly had the heart for it.
Huan Ling said, "What I can do is not to make things difficult for him, nor will I make things difficult for the Lower Realm. From now on, he will be the Human Emperor of the Lower Realm, and I will be the 'Heaven' above the Heavens, on equal footing with him, and we shall not interfere with each other!"
As soon as she said this, Xue Zhi shook her head.
Although, for Huan Ling, she had indeed shown enough sincerity, it was clearly not enough.
At least in Xue Zhi's opinion, it was completely insufficient.
As it stood, Huan Ling was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, while Yun Fan was the butcher holding all the advantages.
Therefore, at this moment, Huan Ling needed to show a more sincere attitude.
Huan Ling was speechless. If this wasn't enough, she might as well give her position as 'Heaven' to Yun Fan.
For this reason, she said irritably, "At worst, I'll give him the position of the Lord of Heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhi said, "I know Husband will definitely not be tempted by that position, because he possesses the power of Zhan Tian, and in the future, he will be a being that surpasses Heaven. How could he possibly want the position of Heaven!"
"Then what else can I do?"
Huan Ling said, "Senior Sister, there's no need to say anything more. Just let him kill me! I don't care anymore!"
"Even if he kills me, his path won't be smooth sailing!"
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Huan Ling's heart was very displeased. Because this Senior Sister wasn't speaking up for her at all.
This was too much.
At this moment, she didn't expect her Senior Sister to wholeheartedly help her, but at least she should share her worries, such as desperately trying to stop the potentially maddened Yun Fan.
This was what a qualified Senior Sister should do.
But judging by her Senior Sister's current attitude, it was far from not helping her; it was as if she was actively helping Yun Fan deal with her.
Therefore, it was normal for her to feel unbalanced.
However, Xue Zhi didn't mean that at all. She simply felt that Huan Ling's attitude was not upright enough.
So, she immediately said to Huan Ling, "Junior Sister, since you can't fight him, then join him. This is the best outcome!"
"Join?"
Huan Ling looked at Xue Zhi in confusion. She didn't know why, but in her opinion, this was definitely not a good idea.
"Precisely!"
Xue Zhi said, "That is, join him. For Junior Sister, this will completely avoid all these risks, and even the path ahead will be smooth."
"Just tell me what the method is?"
Huan Ling asked impatiently.
"Become Husband's wife!"
Xue Zhi said directly.
In her opinion, this was a win-win solution. Not only could it resolve the animosity between them, but it would also add absolute advantage for Huan Ling to regain her imperial position.
From another perspective, Yun Fan marrying 'Heaven' would open up a new world for his own future.
This was a path of mutual fulfillment, so for the two of them, it was a strong alliance!
"Impossible!"
Huan Ling said directly, "I will absolutely not marry him. I am 'Heaven'. If even I have to get married to save my life, where will my dignity go!"
"I might as well die! Therefore, I will absolutely not agree!"
Huan Ling hadn't expected her Senior Sister to give her such a terrible idea. Her Senior Sister and nephew had been captured by Yun Fan.
That was because they were too naive. But Huan Ling, as 'Heaven', was not that naive.
On the contrary, her intelligence was in no way inferior to Yun Fan's. Moreover, she was originally the peak of all beings, the very embodiment of Heaven. How could she possibly marry?
In her eyes, she had never planned to get married.
But Xue Zhi said, "Junior Sister, you and I have lived for countless years. You are now just like I was before, thinking that my world does not need a man. But after Husband entered my world, I realized that my world must have a reliance, and Yun Fan is my best reliance! Believe me, after you marry him, you will definitely believe that what I say is correct!"
"Uh..."
Huan Ling hadn't expected Xue Zhi to be so serious about it. She didn't know what else to say.
For this reason, she immediately said, "Senior Sister, let this matter drop! Although he is not weak, and even stronger than I was at the same age, I will absolutely not compromise my dignity! Just give up on this idea! When he comes to kill me, I hope you'll tell him to give me a quick end!"
This was Huan Ling's resolve.
Xue Zhi was instantly speechless. This Junior Sister was too arrogant. However, she planned to slowly dismantle Huan Ling's psychological defense.
One day, Huan Ling would realize that having a reliance was indeed more important than anything else. Of course, this reliance had to be someone she liked.
She had waited for so many years and finally found Yun Fan. Although there were some minor incidents in between, they were ultimately insignificant.
At this moment, Huan Ling felt that her silly Senior Sister was beyond saving. Telling her to marry Yun Fan was such a terrible idea.
In her words, they had fallen, but don't drag her down. She was the true 'Heaven'.
No man was worthy of her.
She would never be as foolish as them, being manipulated by a man.
On this point, Huan Ling was very confident. She would not fall. However, at this moment, she didn't bother to remind Xue Zhi.
In her words, they were not on the same spiritual level. Even if she said more, you wouldn't listen, so why waste her breath?
It's just death, what's the big deal? Besides, Yun Fan might not dare to kill her, so she was very confident that she wouldn't fall into this situation.
At this moment, with a scream,
"Ah!"
One of the Four Great Vassal Kings escaped from Yun Fan's world. Judging by his terrified expression, he was already on the verge of collapse.
As expected, at this moment, Yun Fan emerged from his invincible world, covered in blood, but it wasn't his blood.
It was the blood of these vassal kings.
Subsequently, Yun Fan killed this vassal king with a single move and then walked with certainty towards the two women.
The two women looked on in shock. Fighting four alone and winning? They couldn't fathom why Yun Fan was so monstrous.
"Husband, what about the remaining three?"
Xue Zhi asked in shock.
Yun Fan said nonchalantly, "I've killed them all. These are their Dao Fruits!"
With that, Yun Fan threw out four Dao Fruits.
The two women were instantly dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so invincible. Although from the moment they were pulled into the invincible world, the two women knew this battle was a foregone conclusion.
But they hadn't expected Yun Fan to kill all four without injury, meaning even if the four had joined forces, they were easily dominated by Yun Fan.
This was Yun Fan's invincible strength. Only Yun Fan could achieve such invincibility.
At this moment, Yun Fan looked at Huan Ling with a playful expression. In their words, it was like "you kill me today, I'll kill you tomorrow."
Now it was his turn to have the advantage. It was time for him to deal with Huan Ling. No one could stop him, okay?
Seeing this, Xue Zhi couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this moment, she prepared to persuade Yun Fan not to kill Huan Ling, but to simply take her in, wouldn't that be better?
However, would Huan Ling directly threaten to commit suicide?
These were all things she had to consider.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Huan Ling spoke first, "I know you want to deal with me, but why don't we make a bet!"
"Bet on what?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled.
Huan Ling said, "Bet that you can't deal with me!"
"I don't believe it!"
Yun Fan said dismissively. At this point, Huan Ling still wanted to play tricks on him. He would deal with Huan Ling first.
Xue Zhi also didn't know why Huan Ling was so confident.
Did Huan Ling have some other plan?
At this moment, Huan Ling said directly, "Husband!"
"What?"
Instantly, Yun Fan and Xue Zhi were both stunned. They had never expected this outcome.
Especially Xue Zhi. Didn't Huan Ling just threaten with her life, saying it was impossible?
Unexpectedly, how long had it been, and Huan Ling directly called Yun Fan "Husband," without the slightest hesitation.
Of course, what was even more unacceptable was Yun Fan. He doubted if he had heard correctly. Huan Ling, this proud person, actually called him Husband.
At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Say that again?"
Yun Fan said coldly.
"Husband, Husband, Husband!"
Huan Ling said in a sweet voice, "From today onwards, I am your wife. I don't believe you would be heartless enough to kill even your wife!"
"Don't call me that!"
Yun Fan said, "You're spreading rumors about me!"
He would never agree. He hadn't expected Huan Ling to call him Husband just to save her life.
Sorry, he wasn't interested, okay?
"Anyway, I don't care!"
Huan Ling said, "When we were in the Lower Realm, you said you wanted to capture me. I hope you keep your word!"
"I'm not interested in you!"
Yun Fan said directly.
Even though Huan Ling was the exalted 'Heaven', if he said he wasn't interested, he wasn't interested. If he were to truly marry Huan Ling, with her unfathomable methods, a few lives wouldn't be enough to compensate!
For Yun Fan, he never did business at a loss.
"You..."
Huan Ling was almost angered to death. "On what basis are you not interested in me? In terms of looks, intelligence, and strength, who among your harem is inferior? I'm top-tier!"
"Anyway, I'm just not interested!"
Yun Fan struck again. For a woman like Huan Ling, if she wasn't guarded against, she would be very dangerous.
"Anyway, I want to marry you. Whether you're interested or not is not up to you to say!"
Huan Ling said domineeringly.
This scene indeed left Yun Fan and Xue Zhi dumbfounded.
For this reason, Yun Fan said, "Stop. Aren't you just afraid of me dealing with you? There's no need to be like this. I won't deal with you, okay?"
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Yun Fan, who had intended to deal with Huan Ling, no longer wanted to.
Because he was truly afraid that Huan Ling would be serious. Although, for now, Huan Ling was merely compromising her dignity, if Huan Ling were to truly be serious one day,
It would be problematic.
Therefore, at this moment, what Yun Fan wanted to do was to prevent Huan Ling from being serious.
Huan Ling was extremely furious. If she had merely been compromising her dignity just now, she was now truly angry.
This guy was simply too unappreciative.
To think that she, a dignified 'Heaven', whom everyone bowed to, was now being dismissed by Yun Fan to avoid her compromise.
Huan Ling felt insulted.
Xue Zhi also hadn't expected Yun Fan to resort to this tactic.
For this reason, she immediately said to Yun Fan, "Husband, I think you can consider it again!"
"No need to consider!"
Yun Fan said, "Wife, I have you all, and that's enough. After all, I'm a very picky person. I'm not interested in someone like her!"
As soon as he said this, Xue Zhi, while feeling sorry for Huan Ling, felt immensely moved.
Didn't Yun Fan's words tell her that they were superior to Huan Ling?
She had thought that after Huan Ling said she wanted to marry Yun Fan, Yun Fan would abandon them. Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had no such intention.
Therefore, at this moment, she became more and more convinced that becoming Yun Fan's wife was the right choice.
Little did she know that the reason she became Yun Fan's wife was entirely because Yun Fan was plotting against her.
At this moment, Huan Ling was truly angry. She, who was high above, had been devalued by Yun Fan to the point of worthlessness. Now she truly had the urge to kill Yun Fan.
It was a pity that she was no match for Yun Fan. Otherwise, Yun Fan would surely die today, she declared.
For this reason, she immediately threatened Yun Fan, "You must marry me, otherwise, when I recover my peak strength, I will definitely settle the score with you. If you don't marry me, kill me!"
This was Huan Ling's stance.
Yun Fan said helplessly, "I won't marry you, nor will I kill you. If you recover your peak strength, you are welcome to come and settle the score with me, okay?"
"But if you marry me, not only will I not settle the score with you, but I will also help you, and I will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Lower Realm!"
"No need!"
Yun Fan used roundabout tactics, "Even if you oppose the Lower Realm, and want to destroy the Lower Realm, that's fine, provided you can defeat me. But marrying you, please don't mention it again!"
Huan Ling was truly about to die of anger. She had even gone so far as to offer herself, yet Yun Fan still refused.
It wasn't that she truly loved Yun Fan, but she felt humiliated by Yun Fan.
Before she could say more, Yun Fan threw the four Dao Fruits at her.
"This is my compensation to you. Please, don't mention marrying me again, okay?"
Yun Fan pleaded humbly. Originally, he was the one in the active role, and Huan Ling was the passive one. Now, in this back-and-forth, he had become the passive one.
Huan Ling felt like she wanted to swallow Yun Fan alive. How much did he hate her to humiliate her like this?
"You wait and see, I'll make you pay sooner or later!"
After accepting the four Dao Fruits, Huan Ling returned to the Immortal Sword Sect in anger.
It could be said that at present, she had no mood at all. Although Yun Fan had not harmed her, this insult was something not everyone could endure.
At least she couldn't.
Therefore, she decided that once her strength recovered to its peak, she would definitely make Yun Fan, who had insulted her, pay.
"Husband, will there be trouble?"
Xue Zhi asked worriedly.
Yun Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry! Nothing will happen!"
"Is she really so unbearable in your eyes?"
Xue Zhi asked, confused. That was 'Heaven'! Since ancient times, apart from the vassal kings, who was qualified to see Huan Ling?
Furthermore, 'Heaven' was not someone anyone could be worthy of. Unless it was a Heaven of the same level, anyone who saw 'Heaven' would pale in comparison.
It could be said that just a glance at 'Heaven' would evoke inferiority.
But Yun Fan had ruthlessly rejected 'Heaven', not only rejected her but also humiliated her intentionally or unintentionally.
Only Yun Fan could have achieved this throughout history.
It could be said that Yun Fan's actions just now were truly inviting trouble.
Yun Fan said, "That's not it!"
"Then why?"
Xue Zhi asked, puzzled.
"Because her Dao and my Dao are opposite. If we were truly together, there would definitely be trouble. Either her Dao would kill my Dao, or my Dao would kill her Dao. Therefore, this is why I humiliated her so much. For her to compromise her dignity and marry me, there's no need!"
Although Yun Fan said it tactfully, in his heart, he simply wasn't interested. No matter what, it was impossible to find a more outstanding woman in the world than Huan Ling.
But precisely because of this, he had to decisively refuse.
He couldn't suppress such a woman, unless one day he broke through to a level beyond Heaven.
Even Yun Fan didn't know that because of his words today, he would be severely dealt with by Huan Ling later.
Huan Ling's compromise of her dignity had finally come back to haunt him.
...
"I didn't expect her to have such a powerful expert by her side!"
Inside the Cang Tian Divine Palace, Hou Qing looked on in disbelief. He hadn't expected that the Four Great Vassal Kings of Tian Can Di Que he had sent out would be dealt with by a single person.
With such strength, it could be said that apart from experts at the peak of Hedao, no one would be Yun Fan's opponent.
Even Hou Qing had miscalculated. He hadn't expected that Huan Ling would have such an existence as Yun Fan by her side.
It was precisely because of Yun Fan's appearance that his plan was disrupted. Therefore, at this moment, it was impossible for him not to resent Yun Fan.
"My Lord, this child is truly heaven-defying. Sending other vassal kings would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths. Why don't you personally take action?"
Hou Qing's subordinate suggested to Hou Qing.
But Hou Qing said, "Although Huan Ling can no longer achieve much, she still possesses the Tian Xin Mark. If she were to perish with me, I might be taken away by the Tian Xin Mark. Therefore, I cannot act!"
"Are we just going to watch them grow stronger?"
His subordinate said indignantly, "My Lord, you are the one most qualified to ascend to the position of 'Heaven'!"
"No need to worry!"
Hou Qing said, "I am currently researching a method to deal with the Tian Xin Mark, and it will have results soon. However, before that, let those vassal kings go to their deaths! At the same time, spread the news that 'Heaven' has killed the vassal kings, causing 'Heaven' to completely lose popular support. Then, even if the vassal kings are willing to defect to 'Heaven', they will be disheartened and isolated."
"Yes!"
A subordinate of Hou Qing quickly went to carry out the order.
The subordinate who had just refuted him also wanted to take his leave, but was directly killed by Hou Qing's power, turned into powder.
For Hou Qing, his decisions must be obeyed unconditionally. No one could refute his decisions, not even his confidants.
"Yun Fan, is it? Let my clone go and meet you!"
Hou Qing sneered. A being whose achievements outshone even 'Heaven' of the same era, he wanted to see what kind of person Yun Fan was.
...
At the Immortal Sword Sect, although various vassal kings attacked successively, they were all killed by Yun Fan. He was unstoppable, with no one being his match.
At their peak, eight vassal kings from the Land of Ice and Fire attacked together, but their luck had run out this time.
Because they encountered Yun Fan, a super boss among peers.
Thus, the eight vassal kings were completely killed by Yun Fan. After this battle, Yun Fan became renowned. Those vassal kings with ill intentions subsequently became obedient.
Because if they dared to attack again, Yun Fan would kill them without hesitation. No one wanted to die.
Although they all wanted to become 'Heaven', they also knew that with a monstrous being like Yun Fan by 'Heaven's' side, their success was destined to fail.
Why not leave the upcoming battlefield to 'Heaven' and Hou Qing? After all, they would pledge allegiance to whoever won.
Yun Fan killed these vassal kings not for Huan Ling, but for his own breakthrough.
He didn't kill so many vassal kings just to show off. For example, at this moment, he had reached the peak of the late stage of Hedao.
He was only one step away from breaking through to the peak of Hedao, but this realm was not easy to break through.
Although it was only a small gap, the difference was insurmountable. Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan was not in a hurry at all.
Because he wanted to break through to the peak of Hedao through his own comprehension.
Of course, during this period, the entire Cang Tian domain was filled with rumors.
It was said that 'Heaven' ruthlessly slaughtered these meritorious vassal kings and was no longer worthy of the position of 'Heaven'.
Some even directly declared that 'Heaven' should hand over the Tian Xin Mark and pass the position to the benevolent Hou Qing.
But Huan Ling ignored them.
She couldn't deal with these people now. When her strength recovered, she would see how she would deal with these short-sighted individuals.
At this moment, she was chatting with Yun Fan.
"Not bad! I didn't expect you to kill so many vassal kings. If you did this to please me, there's no need, because I've already accepted you!"
Yun Fan was truly speechless. He said, "So, you achieved the position of 'Heaven' not just through strength!"
"What do you mean?"
Huan Ling asked, confused.
Yun Fan said nonchalantly, "It's also through your thick skin! Your skin is incomparably thick!"
"I'll kill you!"
Huan Ling was almost angered to death. This guy never gave up on disparaging her.
"Alright, I'm not joking!"
Huan Ling said, "After I regain control of the Cang Tian domain, I will give you half of the position!"
"No thanks!"
Yun Fan said, "I have no interest in this position at all. Give me time, and I will surpass Heaven!"
"Stop bragging!"
Huan Ling said dismissively, "Under Heaven, you can never surpass Heaven!"
"Then we'll see!"
Yun Fan said, "As long as I decide to do something, there's nothing I can't achieve!"
Huan Ling completely gave up on communicating with Yun Fan. However, although Yun Fan was arrogant, he indeed had the capital for his arrogance.
For this reason, she said to Yun Fan, "I didn't expect that along the way, we would become friends!"
"Watch your words, I am not your friend!"
Yun Fan said, "When I surpass Heaven, if you don't obey, I will beat you until you obey!"
"That remains to be seen!"
Huan Ling suddenly tore off her clothes, "If you dare, come and beat me now!"
"Uh..."
Yun Fan was completely dumbfounded. When did Huan Ling become so abnormal?
In fact, Huan Ling's current goal, besides regaining her position, was to conquer Yun Fan.
One day, she wanted Yun Fan to kneel before her and sing a song of submission.
Just as the two were arguing, an aura suddenly descended.
Instantly, both Huan Ling and Yun Fan's expressions became solemn.
Huan Ling tidied her clothes and said, "It looks like he's here!"
"Who?"
Yun Fan asked, puzzled. Although he didn't know who it was, he could be sure that the person was extremely powerful.
Just from the aura alone, he was already finding it difficult to bear.
"Hou Qing!"
Huan Ling said directly.
"Hiss!"
Yun Fan gasped. He knew that as they grew stronger, Hou Qing would definitely make a move.
He just hadn't expected Hou Qing to come so quickly.
As expected, at this moment, a figure flashed. He was Hou Qing, even more handsome than Yun Fan.
"This is just a clone!"
Huan Ling reminded Yun Fan.
"A clone is already this strong?"
Yun Fan was shocked in his heart, not knowing how strong Hou Qing's true body would be. In any case, he himself was unsure if he could be the opponent of this clone.
"Sister, long time no see!"
Hou Qing smiled gently, showing no sign of killing intent.
But the more people like this, the more ruthless they often are. This was a principle Yun Fan had learned from traveling through so many worlds.
"Indeed, long time no see!"
Huan Ling said coldly. After she fell from her peak, she was pursued by Hou Qing's subordinates. And the Hou Qing before her was once the person she trusted the most.
But unexpectedly, the person she trusted the most had dealt her the greatest blow. At this moment, it was like enemies meeting, and their eyes burned with hatred.
Hou Qing smiled and said, "You are the King of Prodigies who has successively slain many vassal kings, aren't you!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Yun Fan said, "Mere achievements are not worth mentioning!"
"You're too humble!"
Hou Qing said, "This is a conflict between her and me. Why are you interfering in our affairs?"
Facing his questioning, Yun Fan said nonchalantly, "For no reason, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huan Ling immediately said, "Because he is my Husband, and I am his wife. Is that reason enough?"
Hou Qing was stunned. He hadn't expected Huan Ling to start looking for a man.
Although there was no man in the world worthy of Huan Ling, Yun Fan's proud achievements could barely be considered worthy of Huan Ling.
This was too much. Yun Fan was speechless. When had he become Huan Ling's Husband?
But before he could explain, Hou Qing said, "So that's how it is. Then his intervention is reasonable!"
"You know it's reasonable too!"
Huan Ling said coldly, "In the past, because of your ancestors' glorious military achievements, I trusted you so much, yet you betrayed me. Now that I've returned, I will settle every score between us!"
As soon as she said this, Hou Qing smiled calmly, "With absolute strength, you can't make any waves. Furthermore, my talent is no less than yours. Even if I ascend to the position of 'Heaven', it is the general trend and cannot be shaken. As for whether you can survive today, let's see!"
A great battle was brewing, and the hearts of the three were taut.
