Chapter 125 The Crazy Plan

Although both sides were Core Formation Realm Cultivators, there was a huge gap in their actual cultivation levels.

On the White Lotus Sect side, You Suyi was the strongest, at the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm, whereas Li Minghe had reached the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm.

The remaining four members of the Blood Demon Sect side had an overwhelming advantage; they surpassed the White Lotus Sect Cultivators by nearly two or three minor Realms.

The two sides had only exchanged a few dozen moves before the White Lotus Sect side began to struggle, forced into a purely defensive stance with no power to counterattack.

You Tan and the others watched anxiously, wishing they could help but lacking the necessary qualifications to intervene.

Except for a Prodigy like Ye Fan, the gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Core Formation Realm was as vast as the difference between a dog and a human.

If they rashly charged in, they would likely be instantly killed by the residual combat energy before even getting close.

Seeing You Suyi and the others constantly retreating, the sneer on Li Minghe's face grew deeper.

"No matter how many schemes you devise, today is still your path to death... Blood Sea Surges to the Heavens!"

"White Lotus Blooms, Flowers of the Other Shore Open!"

You Suyi blocked Li Minghe's attack, but her expression became even more grim.

The situation had developed far beyond her expectations, but with matters having reached this point, regret was useless. She could only grit her teeth and hold on, hoping to last until the Joyous Union Sect reinforcements arrived.

Ye Fan watched everything quietly from the flying boat, but his brow gradually furrowed into a knot.

"No, if this drags on, they will certainly die. I must think of a way to break this deadlock."

Ye Fan's mind spun rapidly, and finally, a look of madness appeared in his eyes.

"It seems I have to take a gamble."

Ye Fan suddenly looked at You Tan, telling her that if anything happened to him and he couldn't return, she should go to the Joyous Union Sect to find Murong Wan or Su Ningxue, as the two of them would surely keep her safe.

Before You Tan could fully comprehend, Ye Fan rode his sword into the sky, heading straight for the battle group above.

At that moment, Li Minghe was locked in fierce combat and did not pay attention to a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator suddenly appearing.

He initially thought it was some fearless fool from the White Lotus Sect, but Ye Fan's words struck Li Minghe like a thunderbolt.

"Li Minghe, do you still recognize me?!"

"You are..."

Li Minghe subconsciously looked at Ye Fan, feeling that this face looked somewhat familiar, but he truly couldn't recall for a moment.

"Forgotten? It doesn't matter. Let me give you a reminder: I am the one who killed your son, Li Xiao. Do you want me to demonstrate how he wailed before his death?!"

As his voice fell, the world seemed to fall into dead silence. Even You Suyi and the others subconsciously stopped fighting, looking at Ye Fan with expressions of disbelief, unsure what he intended to do.

"Isn't this purely courting death?!"

Ye Fan launched a direct confrontation, and Li Minghe finally remembered the portrait he had seen. After a brief moment of stunned silence, his eyes turned completely red, and he became utterly frenzied.

"You killed Xiao'er!"

"Don't put it so harshly. Mine was self-defense. Or perhaps I should educate you on the matter..."

Before Ye Fan could finish speaking, a bloody Sword Qi streaked across the night sky like a meteor, shooting toward his head.

"No!"

You Tan's beautiful face was filled with despair; it seemed she could already see the scene of Ye Fan being blown to death.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, after his body was torn apart by the bloody arrow, Ye Fan transformed into a streak of lightning and swiftly escaped, subsequently reforming his body at the edge of the sky.

"This is an illusion... No... It's a Clone?!"

"That was a close call. If your son had possessed this ability back then, perhaps he could have kept his life. You should blame him for having insufficient skills."

Ye Fan continued his direct assault. The intense provocation caused Li Minghe to completely lose his reason.

He swore that he would kill Ye Fan no matter what, transforming into a blood-red light and charging directly toward him.

"Good!"

Although Ye Fan spoke casually, his heart was more tense than anyone else's. He immediately activated Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, turning into a lightning streak to flee.

In the sky, two beams of light, one red and one purple, pursued relentlessly, and their figures vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Everything happened so suddenly that by the time everyone understood, the two were already gone.

The original five-on-five team battle changed because Li Minghe was lured away.

Under a five-against-four situation, the difference in cultivation was quickly compensated for, and they even started to suppress the Blood Demon Sect.

You Suyi and the others finally understood what Ye Fan had done; he intended to use his own life to buy time for the White Lotus Sect, and they were deeply moved.

Once You Tan understood, she immediately chased after them, but her speed was far inferior to the two, and she could only watch Ye Fan's figure disappear completely.

On the other side, Ye Fan, transformed into thunder, tore through the sky, with Li Minghe closely pursuing not far behind, his mind filled with only one thought: to kill Ye Fan and avenge his son.

Although he couldn't figure out when the Joyous Union Sect allied with the White Lotus Sect, none of that mattered now.

Li Minghe also realized that Ye Fan was deliberately luring him away to create a numerical advantage for the White Lotus Sect.

But in Li Minghe's eyes, this action was tantamount to suicide. If he, a dignified eighth-level Core Formation Realm Cultivator, couldn't capture and kill a mere Foundation Establishment Realm piece of trash, he might as well slit his own throat and reunite with his son.

However, the turn of events far exceeded Li Minghe's expectations. Even though he used his full strength, he still couldn't catch up to Ye Fan; the gap between them was even widening.

"Damn it! What kind of movement Divine Ability is this brat using?!"

Nine Heavens Thunder Movement truly lived up to its reputation as a Heaven Rank Medium Grade movement Divine Ability. Even with a full major Realm difference between them, Ye Fan's speed still far surpassed Li Minghe's.

To prevent Li Minghe from giving up because he couldn't catch up, Ye Fan even deliberately slowed down, maintaining a safe distance where Li Minghe could see him but not touch him. This agonizing feeling drove Li Minghe nearly insane.

"Bastard! Let's see how long you can last! When this old man catches you, I will definitely skin you alive and tear your bones apart!" Li Minghe couldn't help but curse furiously.

Ye Fan remained silent, continuously swallowing Medicinal Pills to replenish his spiritual power, striving to keep his body in Peak condition. What he wanted was not just to lead Li Minghe away.

"Finally arrived!"

Seeing his destination in the distance, Ye Fan suddenly accelerated, throwing Li Minghe behind him. The purple lightning instantly streaked across the sky, its speed so fast that even taillights were invisible.

"You bastard, don't think you can escape!"

"Little thief, hurry up and chase your daddy!" Ye Fan didn't forget to mock him.

Seeing this, Li Minghe's face turned green. He used all his strength to continue the pursuit, but when he clearly saw the scenery ahead, he felt completely demoralized.

"That is... Extreme Thunder Valley?!"

Ye Fan pretended to be exhausted, suddenly accelerated, and plunged headfirst into the Extreme Thunder Valley, instantly vanishing amidst the endless lightning.

Li Minghe never dreamed that Ye Fan would dare to charge into the Extreme Thunder Valley, one of the Four Great Forbidden Lands. This place was constantly bombarded by heavenly lightning year-round, requiring even Core Formation Realm Cultivators to be extremely cautious, as the slightest slip could result in serious injury.

The killer of his son was right before his eyes, but facing the dangers of the Extreme Thunder Valley, Li Minghe hesitated and dared not pursue him inside.

In contrast, Ye Fan was like a fish in water within the Extreme Thunder Valley. Relying on the nature of the Heaven Concealing Art, he perfectly concealed his aura, seeming to merge entirely with heaven and earth.

The heavenly thunders appeared not to notice his existence and showed no intention of attacking Ye Fan.

Occasionally, a few bolts that struck nearby were easily dodged by Ye Fan using his movement technique.

"Hoo... This is finally my home turf."
