Flying in the air depended on one's Qi Refining cultivation.
Ding Chunqiu's Qi Refining cultivation was at the Immortal Emperor Three Qi Realm, while Lin Fan's was at the Immortal Emperor Four Qi Realm.
Lin Fan had to bring Fairy Zi Xia along as well. With this, the two of them could fly at the same speed, but not by much.
In comparison, the disciples of the Three Origin Sect were all cultivators above the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm. Some of them had even reached the Immortal Emperor Nine Qi Realm. Their flying speed was much faster than Lin Fan and Ding Chunqiu.
Moreover, they were in a group of five. They released their Divine Senses and searched in all directions. It was easy for them to find the three of them.
Sure enough, when they flew a thousand meters away, a group of powerful disciples caught up with them. The five of them quickly spread out and surrounded the three of them.
"Run, run! You want to escape? Stop dreaming …" One of the leading disciples stared fiercely at the three of them and said coldly and disdainfully. He took out a Signal Talisman and crushed it.
A purple light shot out from the broken Signal Talisman. It shot up into the sky and then exploded hundreds of meters in the air.
Like fireworks, it transformed into a five-colored brilliance. Although it was broad daylight, it was still dazzling and could be seen from a thousand meters away.
After seeing the signal, the other nine groups of powerful disciples immediately rushed over. The group led by the beardless Taoist was the fastest.
The beardless Taoist knew that the King of the East Mountain had taken a fancy to his daughter, Xiuchan, and was determined to marry her. The beardless Taoist was not happy, but he did not dare to refuse directly. At that time, he had an idea and introduced Zixia Fairy to the King of the East Mountain, praising that Zixia Fairy was ten times prettier than Xiuchan.
She deliberately belittled her daughter to the point that she was worthless.
In fact, Zixia Fairy was indeed prettier than Xiuchan.
As the saying goes, one would rather eat a peach than a basket of rotten pears.
After the beardless Taoist's introduction, the King of the East Mountain immediately turned his attention to Zixia Fairy. He asked the beardless Taoist to help him and promised that he would be greatly rewarded.
Otherwise, he would use Xiuchan as a substitute. Therefore, if Zixia Fairy escaped or died, his daughter Xiuchan would have to marry the 200-year-old old man.
Therefore, the beardless Taoist was the most anxious at this moment.
Therefore, his group flew the fastest.
…
"Oh no, that's a Signal Talisman. He's using the Signal Talisman to send a message to someone else …" Fairy Zi Xia's face turned pale as she warned Lin Fan.
"We have to finish this battle as quickly as possible and leave this place quickly. Otherwise, we will be surrounded."
Lin Fan let go of Zixia Fairy and took out the War God Hammer. Then, he rushed toward the disciple who shot the signal talisman.
The leading disciple was at the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Realm.
His strength was not low.
When he saw Lin Fan pouncing towards him, he actually stopped moving and even crossed his arms. He sneered.
"Immortal Emperor Four Qi Stage dares to challenge me? See if I don't kill you instantly …"
As he spoke, he suddenly loosened his grip.
His right hand pointed forward. Whoosh!
Under the influence of the Immortal Qi, a red Immortal Sword shot out towards Lin Fan.
Indeed.
At the Immortal Emperor level, there was a huge difference in strength between the lower level and the lower level. There was no doubt that the higher level could kill the lower level.
For example, a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi Stage could easily kill a cultivator at the Immortal Emperor Seven Qi Stage. Moreover, Lin Fan was only at the Immortal Emperor Four Qi Stage. He was not strong enough to be killed instantly.
Looking at how the red Immortal Sword was charging over with the might of wind and thunder, Lin Fan gripped the God of War Hammer with both hands and used all his might to face the incoming Immortal Sword. Taking in a deep breath, he smashed out with the hammer.
Boom!
A loud explosion rang out as the red immortal sword was knocked away. However, Lin Fan could feel his arms going numb from the impact. His blood and Qi were rumbling as his heart skipped a beat. Indeed, the Immortal Emperor Eight Qi State was something else. Thankfully, he had the Indestructible Golden Body. If it were any other cultivator of the same cultivation state, they would have been killed instantly.
Lin Fan's cultivation was not as good as his opponent's. At this time, he had to win with his physical strength. After knocking away the sword, he rushed forward with the hammer. He wanted to use the War God Hammer to smash the head of the leading disciple.
Then, just when Lin Fan was three meters away from the leading disciple, the leading disciple pointed his right hand twice.
Instantly, yet another red colored Immortal Sword bolted out under the influence of the Immortal Qi. Behind this Immortal Sword, yet another red colored Immortal Sword followed closely behind. The two Immortal Swords formed a line. One in front and one behind, they headed straight for Lin Fan.
It was clearly a killing trap.
At such a close distance, there was no way to dodge. If he used the War God Hammer again, he could only send one of them flying. The other one would be able to take Lin Fan's life.
Seeing this, the leading disciple revealed a playful and cruel smile.
He shouted proudly, "Go to hell."
Lin Fan did not dodge, nor did he use the War God Hammer to block. Instead, his body flashed, and with a whoosh, his body turned into a golden liquid.
In the next moment, the two red immortal swords pierced through Lin Fan, who was in his golden state. Lin Fan let out two muffled groans. At this moment, he had already arrived in front of the disciple. With a whoosh, he condensed his true body again.
The leading disciple was dumbfounded. His eyes were filled with fear and he retreated quickly. However, it was too late. Lin Fan held the hammer with both hands and smashed it forward.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the War God Hammer smashed open his head. Brain matter and blood splattered everywhere. The smell of blood filled the air.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. From the moment Lin Fan started fighting with the leading disciple to the moment he killed him, only five breaths had passed.
Before the other four disciples of the Three Yuan Sect could react, one of them had already died. Moreover, the one who died was the disciple with the highest cultivation level in their group.
In the battle just now, Lin Fan had also suffered some minor injuries. When the two red immortal swords penetrated his golden body, the fire-elemental Spiritual Qi on the swords burned his body. Fortunately, Lin Fan had already used his water-elemental Spiritual Qi to reduce the damage and wood-elemental Spiritual Qi to repair it.
At this time, Lin Fan did not stop at all. After killing one, he immediately pounced on the other. At the same time, Fairy Zi Xia and Ding Chunqiu also attacked. They joined forces and pounced on a disciple.
Ding Chunqiu attacked with his immortal swords. Fairy Zi Xia's cultivation level was too low. She could only use the Infatuated Silk to entangle her opponent.
The Infatuated Silk was like a silkworm spitting out silk. It shot out fiercely and instantly entangled the disciple. The disciple was like a fly that had fallen into a spider's web. He struggled violently but could not break free. Ding Chunqiu's immortal sword shot out and ended his life.
Facts had proven that the cultivation method derived from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra was quite powerful. It could completely kill people of a higher cultivation level.
Now, there were only three disciples left.
Lin Fan pounced on the third disciple with his hammer. Seeing that Lin Fan was powerful, the disciple immediately dodged. At the same time, the remaining two pounced on him from behind. When Lin Fan turned around to fight the two disciples behind him, the two disciples turned around and retreated. The disciple who escaped in front turned around and chased after them. At the same time, he released his immortal sword and attacked Lin Fan.
Of the three disciples, one advanced and one retreated. They dodged and dodged very methodically.
They wanted to cover each other and entangle Lin Fan. When the other groups of disciples arrived, they would surround and kill Lin Fan together.
Lin Fan's goal was to quickly end the battle. Seeing this situation, he was anxious and immediately released the Light of Joy.
The ball of Light of Joy rushed out from his body and blocked behind him. The immortal sword of the disciple rushed up and pierced into the ball of light. As a result, the immortal sword immediately softened as if it had been inserted into a furnace. In the end, it turned into liquid metal and was absorbed by the Light of Joy. After absorbing the immortal sword's Light of Joy, it suddenly lit up and then rushed towards the disciple.
The powerful disciple was blinded by the Light of Joy and couldn't open his eyes. He used his hands to block his eyes and quickly retreated, but how could he escape? The Light of Joy rushed behind his body and exploded, directly blasting his limbs and limbs away.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
In a battle between experts, victory and defeat and life and death were decided in the blink of an eye. Especially in a battle between Immortal Emperors, it took a long time to describe, but in fact, it was very fast. Up until now, the battle had only taken three minutes. Now, there were only two people left on the other side.
The two disciples saw that Lin Fan was only in the Four-qi Realm of the Immortal Emperor, but his overall strength was heaven-defying. He was not someone they could compete with at all. In particular, the ball of light that he released could kill them in an instant. At this time, they were surprised and bewildered. At this time, they were extremely frightened and did not dare to fight back. They immediately turned around and fled.
However, they hadn't run far when they heard whooshing sounds. Hundreds of white threads wrapped around them tightly. It was Zixia Fairy's "Infatuated Love Thread" that had entangled the two of them.
The two disciples' faces were filled with monstrous fear. They desperately struggled and were abnormally embarrassed, like two flies in a spider's web.
When the two disciples were about to use magic treasures to break the Infatuated Silk, they saw Lin Fan's right hand open and close. Suddenly, the Light of Joy, which had exploded into countless light spots, quickly gathered together and condensed into a ball of light in an instant.
Under the guidance of Lin Fan's mind, the Light of Joy, which had recovered into a ball of light, rushed toward the two disciples who were entangled in the Infatuated Silk. The two disciples who had just used magic treasures to break free of the Infatuated Silk were about to escape, but unexpectedly, the Light of Joy rushed up and exploded behind them.
Boom …
Boom!
Boom!
…
The two disciples' bodies exploded into minced meat in an instant, and they almost did not even have time to scream.
Too powerful!
Ding Chunqiu and Zixia Fairy stared blankly at the Light of Joy that had exploded into scattered stars.
Lin Fan's right hand opened and closed, and the scattered star-like light spots quickly condensed into a ball of light. It rotated like an aurora, and the light was dazzling.
Ding Chunqiu and Zixia Fairy hurriedly closed their eyes and covered their eyes with their sleeves at the same time.
Even so, they still felt a stinging pain in their eyes.
Lin Fan's mind moved, and the Light of Joy returned to his body.
"Don't dawdle, let's go!" Lin Fan shouted loudly to remind them.
He grabbed Zixia Fairy's slender waist and immediately flew away.
Ding Chunqiu immediately followed.
Just three minutes after the three of them left.
The nine groups of disciples of the Three Elements Sect arrived one after another. The disciples who had failed to catch them were vexed, and when they saw the broken limbs and minced meat on the ground, they were even more terrified.
Five disciples of the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Stage and above. One of them had his head split open, one was stabbed to death by an immortal sword, and the remaining three were all turned into minced meat.
The ground was covered in blood, and it was a miserable sight.
"What a powerful method, what a vicious method …" The disciples of the Three Elements Sect sighed.
"Logically speaking, it's impossible for them to have such a powerful method …"
"Could it be that they have the help of an expert?"
The Taoist Master without a beard was also very surprised, but he could only make such a guess, because he also did not believe that Lin Fan and the other two had such powerful strength.
"Taoist Master, what do we do?
Do we still chase after them? "One of the disciples asked.
His voice was clearly trembling.
"Of course we have to chase after her," the beardless Taoist said firmly. "If we can't capture Fairy Zixia, then we'll have to chase after her."
If they could not capture Zixia Fairy, his daughter Xiuchan would be married to the King of the Eastern Mountain, so he would not hesitate to pay any price.
"Everyone, listen up. We'll still be in groups of five.
Chase in all directions, and once there's any news, use the signal talisman … "The Taoist Master without a beard instructed.
"Taoist Master, the other party is very powerful. I'm afraid that we won't be able to defeat them in a group of five," an older disciple said weakly.
"I'm afraid that we won't even be able to use the signal talisman …"
The Taoist Master without a beard saw that the disciples were a little scared, so he said, "Alright, then we'll form groups of ten and chase in all directions …"
The disciples were a little hesitant. Deep in their hearts, they did not want to participate in this kind of thing.
It was dangerous, and there was no reward.
It was not even as good as the trial mission sent out by the sect.
"Whoever captures Zixia Fairy will be rewarded with 100 Qi-gathering Pills …" The Taoist Master without a beard saw that the disciples were hesitating.
He was afraid that they would slack off, so he immediately offered a reward.
Qi-gathering Pills were pills that could condense Immortal Qi in the Immortal Emperor Realm. They were very precious.
The disciples of the Three Origin Sect were only given 100 Qi-gathering Pills every year. Now, the Taoist Master without a beard was offering 100 at once. This reward was very valuable.
As the saying goes, when there's a great reward, there will be brave men. Immediately, the disciples became spirited. Then, they formed groups of ten and chased in all four directions.
…
Lin Fan, Zixia Fairy, and Ding Chunqiu fled as fast as they could.
"Lin Fan, let's escape in the direction of Stormwind House …" Zixia Fairy said.
"Stormwind House? What kind of place is that?" Lin Fan asked.
"It's an assassin organization," Zixia Fairy said. "This assassin organization is fair in the Falling Jade World.
Even a force like the Eastern Mountain Tribe can't compete with them. We can only rely on them now … "
"You mean we'll go there and become assassins?"
Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"That's right.
Taoist Master Wu Xu will come at any time, and the Eastern Mountain King won't let us go. Lin Fan, you can fight Taoist Master Wu Xu head-on, but you're definitely not a match for the Eastern Mountain King. So now we have to rely on Stormwind House … "
"I don't have an Immortal Meridian, your cultivation is so weak, and Ding Chunqiu is over the age limit. Will Stormwind House accept us …" Lin Fan hesitated.
"Stormwind House is different from large sects and tribes. It's just an assassin organization. The ultimate goal of the organization is to complete missions and gain benefits, not to cultivate disciples. So they don't care about your aptitude. They only use assassins to gain benefits. Any Immortal Emperor can join …" Zixia Fairy added, "Of course, Stormwind House will protect their assassins. As long as we join Stormwind House, even the Eastern Mountain King won't be able to do anything to us, let alone the Three Origin Sect …"
"Okay, let's go to Stormwind House," Lin Fan said decisively.
The three of them flew toward Stormwind House.
…
That evening …
The three of them arrived in front of Stormwind House.
Stormwind House was a tall and majestic pavilion. No one knew how many floors it had. From afar, it looked like a small mountain.
Stormwind House looked very old. No one knew how many years it had been through.
Stormwind House was purple-black in color and looked a little strange. On the plaque in front of the door, there were four big blood-red words — Bloody Storm.
A strong smell of blood was emitted from the four big words.
It floated far away.
"This is Stormwind House."
Fairy Zi Xia pointed at the four big words "Foul Wind and Bloody Rain" on the plaque of Storm House and said, "Look at those four big words. They are written with human blood. Every time Storm House kills a person, it will take that person's blood to replace the ink and add color to these four words …"
"It sounds quite cruel." Lin Fan's lips curled into a playful smile.
At this moment …
Whoosh …
There was a sound of something breaking through the air. A figure blocked in front of the three of them. This person had a white face and no beard. It was Taoist Wu Qing.
Following this, another ten figures appeared and surrounded the three of them.
They were a group of powerful disciples from the Three Yuan Sect.
"You want to join Stormwind House? Sure, but you have to get through me first." Taoist Wu Qing stroked his bare chin and stared at the three of them with a cold smile.
Zixia Fairy's face turned pale. Although they were only a hundred steps away from Stormwind House, before they joined Stormwind House, Stormwind House would not protect them. Therefore, this distance of a hundred steps was like a natural moat. If they could cross it, they could escape. If they couldn't, they would die here.
"You want to stop me with just a hairless woman like you?" Lin Fan stared at the beardless Taoist priest's smooth chin and said with a mischievous and playful smile.
The ten powerful disciples of the Three Yuan Sect subconsciously glanced at Taoist Wu Qing when they heard this.
It was not unusual for a man not to have a beard. However, it was still not very elegant, especially when Taoist Wu Qing's face was white and clean. He did not look manly at all and really looked like a woman.
However, Taoist Wu Qing's position in the Three Yuan Sect was respected. Usually, no one dared to talk about his face and embarrass him. Now that Lin Fan suddenly mentioned it and ridiculed him, how could Taoist Wu Qing tolerate it? His white face immediately turned red and then purple. He pointed at Lin Fan and was so angry that his finger trembled. "You, you …"
"Am I wrong?
If you have hair on your mouth, why would I say that to you … "Lin Fan said infuriatingly." Don't tell me you don't have a beard because you castrated yourself? "
"You, you …" Taoist Wu Qing was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. He pointed at Lin Fan and shouted, "Whoever kills this thief will be rewarded with a thousand Qi-gathering Pills!"
Taoist Wu Qing's position in the Three Yuan Sect was second only to the Sect Leader. Moreover, he had accumulated some Qi-gathering Pills over the years. A thousand Qi-gathering Pills was not a small number, but he could gather seven or eight hundred of them. Even if he could not get all of them, as long as he captured Fairy Zi Xia and gave her to King Dong Shan, he could ask for a reward from King Dong Shan.
A thousand Qi-gathering Pills was not a small number for him, but for King Dong Shan, it was a drop in the ocean.
A thousand Qi-gathering Pills was definitely a considerable amount of cultivation resources for the disciples of the Three Yuan Sect. With these pills as a foundation, they could quickly break through to the next level.
Hearing this, the ten disciples immediately became restless. They stared at Lin Fan almost at the same time as if they had seen a valuable prey. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent and they moved together.
Together, they pounced on Lin Fan.
Ten Immortal Emperors in the Five Qi Realm attacked together, which put a lot of pressure on Lin Fan. Lin Fan took out the War God Hammer to fight.
He used his physical strength to fight in close combat, but it was still difficult for him to fight against ten people at once.
Ding Chunqiu saw this and immediately pounced on him.
In the end, only one person was left.
Although it was only one person, because the opponent was an expert in the Six Qi Realm, he was able to force Ding Chunqiu back with a wave of his Immortal Sword. He was almost out of breath.
At the same time, Taoist Wu Qing pounced on Fairy Zi Xia like a hungry eagle. Although he hated Lin Fan to the core, the most urgent thing now was to capture Fairy Zi Xia.
He put up a bounty of 1,000 Energy Gathering Pills, not to take Lin Fan's life, but to let the ten disciples delay Lin Fan so that he could go all out to capture Fairy Zi Xia.
It should be known that subduing a person was more difficult than killing a person. If Taoist Wu Qing wanted to kill Fairy Zi Xia, he only needed to use a ruthless move to kill her. It was not easy to subdue her. If he was not careful, she would commit suicide.
Wouldn't that be a waste of all his previous efforts?
It was all in vain.
Just as Taoist Wu Qing pounced on Fairy Zi Xia, Fairy Zi Xia opened her hands and grabbed at Taoist Wu Qing.
Suddenly, hundreds of "Infatuated Silk" shot out and entangled Taoist Wu Qing.
In the blink of an eye, Taoist Wu Qing was entangled and almost turned into a dumpling.
Taoist Wu Qing's eyes flashed with anger. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Immortal Liquid. The Immortal Liquid turned into a sharp sword and slashed at the Infatuated Silk. Hiss …
A piece of the Infatuated Silk was cut off.
After an Immortal Emperor became a Perfected Golden Immortal.
The Immortal Qi in the body would liquefy and turn into Immortal Liquid.
From then on, the power would have a qualitative leap.
The sharp sword condensed from Immortal Liquid seemed to be indestructible.
Driven by Taoist Wu Qing's will, it slashed at the Infatuated Silk again and again.
Hiss … Hiss …
After slashing seven times in a row, the Infatuated Silk wrapped around his body was completely severed. Freed, Wu Dao grabbed the sword made of immortal liquid in his hand. Then, he leaped forward and arrived in front of Fairy Zi Xia. He placed the sword of immortal liquid against Fairy Zi Xia's neck.
"Lin Fan, stop, or I'll kill her."
Taoist Wu Qing, who had Fairy Zi Xia under control, shouted proudly. Even he felt that his words were brainless because they couldn't threaten Lin Fan at all.
Everyone knew that Fairy Zi Xia was the woman that the Eastern Mountain King had taken a fancy to. Taoist Wu Qing was afraid that she would die, so how could he dare to kill her?
"You want to kill me? Come on," Fairy Zi Xia said as she raised her neck toward the sword, intending to use Taoist Wu Qing's sharp sword to commit suicide.
Taoist Wu Qing turned pale with fright. In a moment of desperation, he slapped Fairy Zi Xia with his palm and knocked her to the ground with a bang.
Fairy Zi Xia spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her face was pale.
Seeing that Fairy Zi Xia was injured, Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. His heart ached and his sorrow grew. The Sorrowful Sword Rain in his body flashed and shook, ready to attack.
Just as he was in a daze, the nine disciples pounced forward and launched their attacks at him once more. With a single thought, Lin Fan activated the Sorrowful Sword Rain within his body.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Dozens of Sorrowful Sword Rain burst out from his body and shot toward the nine disciples who had surrounded him.
The nine disciples couldn't imagine that Lin Fan could shoot out sharp swords from his body. Moreover, the swords carried the Sorrowful Qi and were extremely powerful. It was too late for them to dodge.
Puff, puff, puff, puff …
The Sword of Sorrow pierced into the bodies of the nine disciples, and all of them were vital points. Their foreheads, necks, chests, and abdomens were all pierced by the Sword of Sorrow. The Sword of Sorrow's Sword of Sorrow quickly filled their hearts, causing them to involuntarily grieve. In the end, they died in grief.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that the nine disciples were killed by Lin Fan in an instant, Taoist Wu Qing stared at the dead disciples in shock and murmured, "Sorrowful Sword Rain, you … how do you know the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra?"
It should be known that the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra was extremely powerful. It could even make up for the self-destruction of one's cultivation due to the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra. For example, Fairy Zi Xia, who was in the True Immortal Realm, had used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra to entangle him, a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven.
Now that an Immortal Emperor also knew the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra, his strength was absolutely heaven-defying.
Lin Fan definitely had the power to fight him, Taoist Wu Qing. Lin Fan might even be able to kill him with the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra.
After realizing this, Taoist Wu Qing made a prompt decision and pounced on Fairy Zi Xia again. Now, he had to restrain Fairy Zi Xia. To him, only by successfully restraining Fairy Zi Xia would he have a chance of winning. Otherwise, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, he might even lose his life.
However, just as he was about to pounce on Fairy Zi Xia, Lin Fan suddenly roared, "Raging Waves of Sword Rain."
Along with his roar, there was a boom, and a fierce sword wave rushed out of his body like a waterfall. It solidified and rushed towards Taoist Wu Qing.
The beardless Daoist was greatly alarmed when he saw this, and immediately dodged. Even so, he was still a step too slow. Hong, hong, hong, that sword waterfall was like a raging wave, ferocious and powerful, and practically brushed past his right arm, instantly causing his right arm to explode.
It turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Taoist Wu Qing let out a muffled groan. His face was filled with pain, and his eyes were filled with monstrous fear.
He didn't dare to be negligent. His figure flashed, and he actually teleported a hundred meters away. Then, he quickly flew away.
Lin Fan had repeatedly used the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Mantra. At this time, he had used up a lot of energy and was slightly weak. If he used it again, his strength would be much weaker than before. Moreover, he didn't want to expose too many skills.
He felt that there must be someone in the Stormy House organization observing him.
In the Jianghu, one couldn't completely expose one's strength. One had to keep one's hand, which could be used at a critical time.
Therefore, he didn't pursue Taoist Wu Qing. Instead, he pounced and finished off the Immortal Emperor Six Qi Realm assassin who was fighting with Ding Chunqiu.
Lin Fan's prediction was not wrong. At this time, the Stormy House's assassins and deacons, as well as the Stormy House Master, were all watching this fight closely. To be more precise, they were watching him closely.
Looking at Lin Fan, those assassins and deacons, who had never shown any expression, were shocked. Even the Stormy House Master, who looked like he had died for thousands of years, was moved.
…
