"This is your own doing!"
Yuwen Kuo sneered, "With the current strength of my Yuwen family, let alone you, even if your master were alive, he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous!"
"Today, I will make you kneel and beg for forgiveness!"
With that, he gave an order.
"Guards, take him down!"
In an instant, the people of the Yuwen family surged forward. However, before they could get close, Yun Fan had already killed Yuwen Yuan with a single move.
"Father... Save me!"
Yuwen Yuan never expected that Yun Fan would be so decisive in killing him.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
Yuwen Kuo was enraged, but he had already recovered from his arrogance. He was no match for Yun Fan.
Therefore, he immediately retreated.
"Go! Leave this place to me!"
Yang Can said to Yun Fan.
"Mm!"
Yun Fan nodded, then chased after Yuwen Kuo, but he maintained a certain distance. After all, in his opinion, Yuwen Kuo would definitely use hostages to threaten him next.
As expected, Yuwen Kuo quickly arrived at the place where the hostages were held and directly shielded Ye Qingcheng in front of him.
"Brat, you'd better not do anything rash, or I'll kill her!"
Yuwen Kuo threatened Yun Fan. At this moment, he was stalling for time. As long as five minutes passed, with the Old Ancestor's strength, he would be able to arrive.
Once the Old Ancestor arrived, Yun Fan would be the one to die.
"Yun Fan, act! Don't worry about me!"
Ye Qingcheng was not afraid. She absolutely could not become a burden to Yun Fan.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Yuwen Kuo, do you think you can change the outcome? You're wrong. Release her, and I might consider a lighter punishment for you!"
Yuwen Kuo sneered dismissively, "Brat, even if your strength is great, so what? Since my Yuwen family dares to plot in this era, do you think we would be unprepared?"
"Oh?"
Yun Fan said, "Relying on your Yuwen family's Old Ancestor, Yuwen Chengdu?"
"That's right! The Old Ancestor will arrive soon, and then you will be utterly annihilated!"
This was his threat to Yun Fan.
At this point, he still believed he could turn the tables.
"Then how long are you prepared to wait?"
Yun Fan sneered. It seemed this old fox hadn't understood the situation clearly.
Yuwen Kuo said, "It will be very soon!"
"Alright!"
Yun Fan smiled calmly, "Then I'll give you time!"
"Very good!"
Yuwen Kuo said arrogantly, "You will pay the price for your arrogance!"
Thus, it became very quiet. Ten minutes passed, and Yuwen Kuo still hadn't seen his Old Ancestor.
"What's going on?"
For some reason, at this moment, a bad premonition gnawed at him. After all, twenty minutes had passed in total! Su Dan Novel Network
Even if the Old Ancestor were to rush over from the tomb, it would have been two round trips. Why had the Old Ancestor not appeared yet?
Had they been abandoned by the Old Ancestor?
But the Old Ancestor would never abandon them. After all, they had used the Yuwen family's thousand-year foundation to revive the Old Ancestor!
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Haven't you recognized reality yet?"
"No, never!"
Yuwen Kuo roared furiously, "The Old Ancestor will definitely come to save my Yuwen family!"
"Then you might be disappointed!"
Yun Fan said, "Look into my eyes!"
"What do you want to do?"
Before Yuwen Kuo could react, he felt his will being controlled by a terrifying and powerful force.
"Demon, it's a demon!"
Yuwen Kuo was like a madman. Under Yun Fan's manipulation, he released Ye Qingcheng and then turned to attack the direct descendants of the Yuwen family.
In just a few minutes, the Yuwen family was a river of blood. The direct descendants were not killed by Yun Fan, but by their own patriarch.
When Yuwen Kuo had killed most of them, Yun Fan released his control.
Upon seeing his blood-soaked hands and the direct descendants he had personally ended, he completely lost his mind.
"You are a devil, you devil!"
Yuwen Kuo roared at Yun Fan, "Devils like you should be executed by everyone!"
Yun Fan said dismissively, "However, reality is very ironic. It is devils like me who protect the common people! The common people are not blind; they can distinguish good from evil!"
At this moment, Yuwen Kuo was in despair, because the Yuwen family was almost wiped out within an hour.
"Before I die, I want to know, did you have a hand in the Old Ancestor not coming?"
He questioned Yun Fan.
If the Old Ancestor could have come, the situation today would have been different. It was a pity that the Old Ancestor, in whom he had placed all his hopes, had not appeared.
This directly led to the Yuwen family's complete defeat.
Yun Fan said dismissively, "Your Old Ancestor cannot protect your Yuwen family. Of course, it wasn't my doing. Don't worry, it won't be long before he joins you down there!"
"Damn it, damn it!"
Yuwen Kuo was extremely unwilling. The plan had almost succeeded, but it had ended in such a tragic conclusion.
Then, with a single move, Yun Fan shattered him. Until his death, he refused to believe that Yun Fan had a way to deal with the Old Ancestor.
In fact, Yun Fan did not have a way to deal with Yuwen Chengdu, but someone had blocked Yuwen Chengdu.
That person was the Marquis of Champion.
Outside Jinling, the arriving Yuwen Chengdu was blocked.
"Marquis of Champion, how could it be you?"
Yuwen Chengdu asked warily. Although the current Marquis of Champion was weak and his qi and blood were depleted, he still didn't dare to act rashly, even if his strength was still at its peak.
After all, the Marquis of Champion's reputation and strength were far more formidable than his.
Even though he was once ranked second in the world a thousand years ago, he was nothing compared to the legendary Marquis of Champion before him.
Although he was second, he had been defeated before, and more than once. But the Marquis of Champion had not.
He hadn't expected the Marquis of Champion to still be alive, and to be even more powerful than his portrait suggested.
At this moment, the Marquis of Champion said, "Where there is darkness, there I shall be!"
"You want to stop me?"
Yuwen Chengdu asked coldly.
The Marquis of Champion said, "You are wrong. I not only want to stop you, but I also want to capture you!"
This was the Marquis of Champion's goal.
Yuwen Chengdu was furious. Even though the Marquis of Champion was very powerful, he could not humiliate him so easily.
After all, his valor was comparable to that of a young Lu Bu, and what's more, he was at his peak!
"Marquis of Champion, don't think I'm afraid of you! If we were to truly fight, you might not be my opponent!"
At this moment, he displayed his strength. He was a peak Transformation Realm expert, a terrifying practitioner of the Divine Refining Realm. If he could gain the life force of the beings in this era, he might even break through to the Small Ascendant stage and become an eternal emperor.
His sole purpose was to intimidate the Marquis of Champion.
However, after he displayed his strength, the Marquis of Champion's face remained unmoved.
Moreover, at this moment, a terrifying aura emanated from the Marquis of Champion from time to time. It was the aura of the Half-step Small Ascendant stage.
This was an incredibly terrifying strength. In fact, the Marquis of Champion had once broken through to the Small Ascendant stage. When he was besieged by darkness, he had achieved the Small Ascendant stage.
Then he was attacked by numerous dark forces, but he also took away almost all of his enemies.
Although his qi and blood were now depleted, and he had no opportunity to consolidate his power, he had fallen from the Small Ascendant stage.
But undeniably, he was the strongest existence among the Half-step Small Ascendant stage.
"Damn it!"
Yuwen Chengdu was unwilling, not expecting such a vast difference between himself and the Marquis of Champion.
The Marquis of Champion said, "Second in the world, you are not worthy!"
With that, in Yuwen Chengdu's fear, he directly attacked.
"I don't believe you can defeat me!"
In an instant, Yuwen Chengdu attacked. After all, he was a warlike person, and coupled with the Marquis of Champion's depleted qi and blood,
He believed he still had a chance to win.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, the Marquis of Champion's power had already crushed down.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.
"Pfft!"
With just one move, Yuwen Chengdu was severely injured. He had never expected to lose so quickly.
Therefore, at this moment, Yuwen Chengdu, without any hesitation, turned and fled.
The Marquis of Champion wanted to pursue and finish him off, but at this moment, the Marquis of Champion's qi and blood were rapidly depleting.
To preserve his life force, he did not pursue Yuwen Chengdu, because he knew that although Yuwen Chengdu had been beaten like a stray dog,
It could not be denied that Yuwen Chengdu had great ambitions, so he was convinced that Yuwen Chengdu would not give up.
He would definitely return for revenge, and then he would deal with him then.
This scene was witnessed entirely by Yun Fan from a distance, and he instantly gasped.
The Marquis of Champion, even in his weakest state, could defeat Yuwen Chengdu with one move. If he were at his peak, Yuwen Chengdu would likely not even have a chance to escape.
No wonder he was called the undefeated God of War who surpassed all others by the world. With such strength, he was absolutely worthy of the title of the undefeated God of War.
After the crisis was resolved, the Marquis of Champion did not linger and directly returned to Jiangnan. After all, he still needed to conserve his life force to deal with future enemies. Of course, for the Marquis of Champion, he seemed to have foreseen the future. He realized that the darkness of this era was absolutely not simple, and it might even surpass the era when Emperor Wu quelled the darkness. Some things had to be prepared for early on.
As for the Yuwen family, after the battle ended, Yang Can took the Long family away.
Yun Fan and Ye Qingcheng did not leave, but instead went to see the Heavenly Emperor.
Presumably, the Heavenly Emperor was the most confused person at this time! Although his strength was not high, his heart was definitely no weaker than Yun Fan's.
He and Yun Fan were definitely the two most concerned about the world.
It was a pity that in the face of these slumbering martial artists from the dark era, the power of the secular world was no longer enough to be seen.
After all, these martial artists were too powerful, moving mountains and overturning seas with every gesture.
Therefore, he was also very helpless and could only place his hopes on Yun Fan.
Seeing Yun Fan's arrival, the stone in his heart finally landed.
This meant that the Yuwen family had been defeated.
"Uncle!"
Yun Fan bowed.
The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, please sit!"
At this moment, Yun Fan and Ye Qingcheng sat on chairs. The Heavenly Emperor sighed, "Alas! Young friend Yun, do we still have hope?"
He had originally planned to abdicate, but the arrival of the dark era forced him to remain in this position for the time being.
Yun Fan said, "Don't be discouraged. Although the era is cruel, am I not still persisting? No matter how cruel the dark era is, we must not give up. One day, a steadfast heart will shatter this darkness completely!"
"You've worked hard!"
The Heavenly Emperor knew that Yun Fan had the hardest time, facing one powerful martial artist after another, and Yun Fan didn't even have allies.
"This is what my Ghost Valley sect should do!"
Yun Fan said, "Your Majesty need not worry. We will deal with whatever comes our way. There have been countless dark eras, but haven't they all been overcome? I believe this time will be no exception!"
"I also believe in your strength!"
The Heavenly Emperor said to Yun Fan, "Actually, I asked you here this time because there is a secret I need to tell you!"
"What secret?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
"I don't know if I will die next, so I will tell you an ultimate secret that my family possesses!"
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor said, "According to the ancient scrolls of my family, there is a plant of immortality deep within Shennongjia. If it is true, you must find it for a time of need!"
He knew that Yun Fan was not someone who craved longevity, but he also understood that Yun Fan's situation was such that he could perish at any moment.
If he could obtain that medicine, it would be like Yun Fan gaining another life, and his chances of fighting against darkness would increase.
"Of course, this is just a legend. I don't believe such a miraculous medicine exists in this world!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan also felt it was unlikely.
Therefore, he said to the Heavenly Emperor, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if there is an opportunity, I will definitely look for it!"
"Mm!"
Then, the Heavenly Emperor handed the ancient scroll to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan put it directly into his pocket without even looking at it.
Afterward, they discussed countermeasures. Yun Fan would be the main attacker, responsible for facing the martial artists revived from the dark era.
The Heavenly Emperor, on the other hand, would be responsible for appeasing and rescuing the common people. After all, battles of this level could easily affect the common people.
If the common people were in trouble and could not be rescued, it would be dire.
After determining their strategy, Yun Fan took Ye Qingcheng and bid farewell to the Heavenly Emperor.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng said to Yun Fan, "Yun Fan, I have implicated you. Next time, don't hesitate; just act!"
Yun Fan smiled and comforted her, "Silly girl, I only do things when I have confidence. Without confidence, I won't underestimate the enemy. You are my person, and I will never let you be in danger and ignore you!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Qingcheng snorted, "You keep saying I'm your person, but you still haven't taken me. Tell me, have you lost interest in me?"
"That's not true!"
Yun Fan quickly denied it.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng pressed her advantage, "Since you don't dislike me, then you have to listen to me tonight!"
"Isn't it a bit too hasty?"
"No!"
Ye Qingcheng said firmly, "We cannot control the future. Now, I just want to give myself to you, so that even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
"Alright!"
