Chapter 2788: The Wrath of the Nine Fiends
tares, he nervously said, "What do you want""What You'll see soon enough."Li Yunhe reached out and sealed Jiang Fangzhou's acupoints, Wei Wei took out a rope and tied him up securely.Jiang Fangzhou su...Ye Bufan pushed the speed of Nine Heavens to its limit, but just after leaving Paradise Island for ten miles or so, the figures of Jiufang Xie appeared behind him.
"Ye, the little thief, you can't run! Today, I will grind you to dust!"
Jiufang Xie hated with gritted teeth. The sudden unexpected turn of events completely shattered his years of meticulous planning.
Looking at Ye Bufan in the distance, he was so angry that his eyes were blazing. If looks could kill, the other party would have died thousands of times over.
Ye Bufan controlled the Nine Heavens, discovering that Jiufang Xie's speed, though fast, could only keep pace with him, unable to close the distance between them. This immediately put his worried heart at ease.
He directly summoned Su Ling霜 and Xiaoqing, letting the two control Jiutian. He walked to the stern of the boat and looked at Jiu Fangxie with glee.
"Old man, I advise you to conserve your energy. You can't catch me."
"Stop dreaming, today I'll catch you even if I have to go to heaven and hell."
Jiufang Xie kept close behind, the distance between them remaining steady.
Thinking of the small world he had painstakingly refined, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Boy, how did you do it"
Ye Bufan sat down at the stern of the boat, reached out and took out a roasted chicken leg and a bottle of beer, taking a sip with relish.
Then he stuck out a little finger, "It's simple really, because my array skills are just a tad better than yours."
"You're a ninth-rank array mage as well!"
Although he had his suspicions, Jiufang Xie was still shocked.
To know that he had cultivated for so many years, barely reaching the attainment of a ninth-rank array mage, while the other party was only so young.
And he had tampered with it without even realizing it, his mastery of formations clearly surpassing his own.
When Ye Bufan set up a barrier with his divine consciousness to block him before, he knew that this young man was very skilled in formations.
He was just a person who was self-deprecating and never thought the other party could surpass himself.
A thought struck him, and he understood.
"Weren't the robed figures who stormed the square that night your avatars"
Ye Bufan munched on a chicken leg and said, "That's right, you orchestrated that refining battle. Others might not have noticed, but I did."
The reason I arranged things that way is to change your formation.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Having understood the truth of the matter, Jiu Fang Xie became even more enraged. He finally understood what it felt like to have a cooked duck fly away.
"For a millennium I have prepared, only to be thwarted by you!"
"I will flay your skin, pull out your tendons, extract your soul, and burn it with netherfire every day for a thousand years..."
Jiufang Xie was radiating immense hatred. In all his years, he had never hated anyone this much before.
Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Old man, I suggest you go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, everyone inside the space might have already escaped."
Maybe we can still catch a few more and salvage something.
"Damn thief, today heaven and earth I will catch you, until death do us part!"
"At your age, you still have such a temper. Here's a drumstick to cool you down."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he casually tossed the remaining chicken leg bone. It shot through the air towards Jiufang Xie.
Damn it!
As a powerful cultivator at the late stage of tribulation, how could Jiufang Xie be injured by a chicken bone Though the injury itself wasn't serious, the humiliation was extremely strong.
"You think you can escape just because you have a flying artifact"
His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he reached out to draw a golden talisman.
Having run Heaven Island for so many years, Jiu Fang Xie had also accumulated countless treasures. This talisman was one of them, called the Phantom Light Thunder Rune. Once used, it could double one's speed.
This talisman is extremely precious, he would not take it out unless absolutely necessary.
Now, in order to catch up with Ye Bufan, Jiufang Xie can no longer afford to care about much else.
Under the flow of true essence, talismans ignited, transforming into a golden ray that plunged into his body. Subsequently, his speed surged like a rocket, doubling in an instant.
"Holy crap, how did that happen so fast"
Ye Bufan was taken aback. After Jiufang Xie's speed surged, the distance between him and Jiutian began to close at an alarming rate.
At this rate, he'll probably catch up in eight or nine breaths.
He hurried back to the front and sent Xiaoqing and Su Ling霜 back into the Dragon King's Hall.
Ye Bufan poured all his energy into the Nine Heavens, but his speed was still no match for Jiu Fang Xie who used the Phantom Light Thunder Charm. The distance between them continued to shrink rapidly.
He can only hope now that the talisman his opponent used has a limited time and won't catch up to him before it expires.
But in fact, it disappointed him. Jiufang Xie's speed was increasing, showing no signs of weakening.
It had only been six or seven minutes, and there were less than a hundred meters left until the Ninth Heaven.
"Kid, you can't escape!"
Jiufang Xie gritted his teeth, hatred filling his eyes. A hundred meters was nothing to a powerhouse at the late tribulation stage.
He stretched out his hand, true energy swirling as a massive palm shot towards the heavens.
"It's done!"
Ye Bufan let out a sigh in his heart. He originally thought that he could escape with the speed of nine days, but now it seems that there is no hope.
The Dragon King's Palace, he wouldn't dare to use it casually. If a powerhouse in the late stage of transcending tribulation found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now, there is only one option left: the void stone.
Deep down, he really didn't want to use the Void Stone. First of all, it was incredibly precious and once used, it would be gone forever.
Secondly, this thing is simply unreliable. You can't tell where it will take you, so all that effort finding a map to return to Tianqiong Prefecture was for nothing.
Now there is simply no other choice. Facing the late-stage tribulation period's Nine Fang Evil, there is nowhere to escape.
With no other choice, he had to put away the Nine Heavens and then crushed the Void Stone.
A brilliant light enveloped his body, then vanished into the void.
On this side, just as the true essence of Jiufang Xie had vanished, his enormous palm struck out from thin air. However, he grasped at nothing but emptiness.
"Damn it, where the hell did it go"
Jiufang Xie's face was full of astonishment, unable to figure out how the other party had escaped from under his nose.
He cast out his powerful divine sense, sweeping the surrounding area, but found no sign of anyone.
"Damn it! Get out here, you come out to me!"
Jiǔfāng Xié all went mad with fury, his perfect plan, flawless in every way, had been ruined by a mere fledgling.
Not only did he have his stolen treasures snatched away, but he also lost the previously prepared Bawangcao and Xianqiong flowers.
After toiling for almost a thousand years, they ended up making wedding dresses for others.
Consumed by rage, he unleashed a flurry of punches, each one causing colossal waves to surge from the Demon Abyss beneath his feet. These waves towered over a hundred zhang high, shaking the very space around him relentlessly. Yet, despite this fury, he remained unable to find even a trace of Ye Bufan.
"Ah! You thief with the surname Ye, this old man will not let you go. One day I shall surely cut you into a thousand pieces!"
His roar echoed through the void, but that was all. It had absolutely no effect whatsoever.t Ye Bufan with a complex expression for a long time before finally calming her excited heart."Little brother, what do you want this for Is there a high-level array master around you"Ye Bufan pointed...
