Chapter 133 Invincible Below the Core Formation Realm

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the Four Symbols Dao Sword let out piercing, mournful cries.

Crimson Flame, Cold Ice, Gale Wind, and Raging Thunder were instantly swallowed by the enraged Dragon, causing the sword body to tremble violently, and visible cracks rapidly expanded.

After a brief stalemate, the Dao Sword shattered into fragments of spiritual energy, and the terrifying residual shockwave nearly blew the entire plaza away.

The Core Formation Realm Cultivators present quickly intervened to provide protection; otherwise, even the main hall would have been utterly destroyed.

When the sky-obscuring dust settled, Ye Fan was covered in hideous wounds, his right arm, which had undergone Dragonification, was receding to reveal horrifying white bone, and the ground within five Zhang was stained red with blood; his figure swayed as if he could collapse at any moment.

This horrifying sight made The several women, including Murong Wan, feel as if their hearts were bleeding. Su Ningxue rushed out at the first moment, intending to help Ye Fan up, but he waved his hand to stop her.

"Don't... If you interfere, I lose."

Ye Fan forced himself to stay conscious and looked at Dao Xuan: "Thank you, Senior, for holding back. I have taken this third move."

Ye Fan grinned, and the ruins of the plaza fell silent. All the Sect Heads present were already petrified, and Dao Xuan wore an expression of utter shock.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed the words back.

"Forget it, kid, you won."

The matter had come to this; Dao Xuan was completely convinced. He was certainly going to lose face today.

"With this child here, how could your Joyous Union Sect not prosper?"

After Dao Xuan spoke, he led the Qingyun Sect Disciples away, which made the expressions of the Sect Heads from the Upper Three Sects look rather unsightly.

These people had come under the guise of mediators. Now that even Qingyun Sect, the supposed 'aggrieved party,' had left, if they looked for any more excuses, they would lose all pretense of dignity.

The three remaining families exchanged a couple of polite words and also departed. As for those from the Lower Three Sects, most were just there to watch the excitement, so they naturally wouldn't step forward at this time.

Seeing that the forces of the Eight Sects had all left, Ye Fan finally couldn't hold on any longer. His tightly strung nerves relaxed, and his body instantly weakened.

"Ye Fan!"

Murong Wan, You Tan, and Yun Li cried out almost simultaneously, but it was Su Ningxue who caught him.

"Ye Fan is severely injured. I am taking him into seclusion to heal immediately."

Su Ningxue took Ye Fan away without another word. Everything happened too suddenly; by the time everyone understood, the two figures had already vanished.

Only then did Qing Mingzi and the others snap back to reality, looking at the devastated ruins of the plaza, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

"Ye Fan really won?!"

That was the Sect Head of the Qingyun Sect, a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm, who was actually slightly stronger than Qing Mingzi.

Yet, his strike, delivered with only fifty percent of his power, was blocked by Ye Fan. All of this was simply too incredible.

Even behind her veil, You Suyi's expression was one of shock, and she couldn't calm her feelings for a long time.

She looked towards You Tan not far away and retracted the words she had spoken previously.

"Your taste in men is excellent."

Although the eight Sects were unwilling, they could only leave dejectedly, biting down on this bitter fruit.

Not only did they fail to force the palace, but they ended up greatly boosting the prestige of the Joyous Union Sect, completely wasting the White Lotus Sect as a viable card.

Soon, the news of the duel before the hall spread throughout the Joyous Union Sect, and countless Disciples instantly erupted in excitement.

Ye Fan had forced away the Eight Great Sects without drawing blood, invisibly strengthening the Joyous Union Sect's might. From now on, the Upper Three Sects would have to become the Upper Four Sects.

"Transmit my order: the entire Joyous Union Sect will celebrate for three days, and all Disciples will receive double their cultivation resources this month!"

Qing Mingzi immediately made the decision, causing countless Disciples to shout 'Long live!'

Murong Wan and Yun Li didn't think much of it, only feeling that Su Ningxue had taken Ye Fan away out of deep concern for her Disciple.

Only You Tan showed a thoughtful expression in her beautiful eyes, and that crazy thought grew stronger.

"Could it really be true?"

On the other side, Ye Fan was taken into a secret chamber by Su Ningxue. His Divine Sense swept over him and discovered that his injuries were far more severe than they appeared. She quickly fed him two Spirit Pills to prevent them from worsening.

Although the Divine Dragon Roaring Heaven Art was powerful, Ye Fan's cultivation level was still slightly insufficient.

To block the Four Symbols Dao Sword, Ye Fan had more than half of his bones shattered, his extraordinary meridians twisted like hemp ropes, his internal organs were severely bleeding, and his muscles were almost dissolved.

If not for his incredibly strong internal and external Cultivation Techniques and Magic Treasures, Ye Fan would have died long ago.

"This is absolute nonsense! If Dao Xuan hadn't fallen for the ruse and used his full power, what would you have done? Just wait to die?!" Su Ningxue couldn't help but scold.

Ye Fan grimaced in pain, realizing Su Ningxue was truly angry, and quickly explained that he still had trump cards.

"If he hadn't fallen for the ruse, I would have used the Great Five Elements Formation Flags to resist. I never said I wouldn't use a Formation.", Ye Fan said with a sly smile.

"You..."

Su Ningxue was almost angered into laughter. This was the first time she had ever heard of a duel where one could use a Formation.

Ye Fan's seemingly reckless action was actually the result of deep consideration.

In that situation, if he hadn't stepped forward, the Joyous Union Sect would have faced either an open conflict or the surrender of numerous benefits to appease the situation, and perhaps even You Suyi would have been implicated.

Whichever choice was made would result in heavy losses for the Joyous Union Sect, so he had to step up, both for public and private reasons.

Of course, he dared to do this because he had absolute confidence in himself.

After the battle with Li Minghe, Ye Fan had a very clear understanding of the strength of a Core Formation Realm Cultivator.

Unless Dao Xuan's strength had reached the Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm, it would be impossible for him to kill Ye Fan within three moves.

Although this duel carried great risk, the chance of winning was extremely high. Ye Fan had to take the gamble no matter what.

As the two spoke, Ye Fan's complexion turned grim again; it seemed the two Spirit Pills alone could not suppress his injuries.

"It looks like I'll have to trouble you for a while then.", Ye Fan said, suppressing a smile.

"You... Hmph."

Su Ningxue didn't say anything, blushing as she untied the silk ribbon at her waist, revealing a suffocatingly perfect delicate body.

Even though he had admired it countless times, Ye Fan still felt his mouth go dry and instinctively reached out, only to grimace in pain.

"Behave yourself. You're this injured and still acting recklessly.", Su Ningxue scolded shyly.

"I want to behave, but Ningxue, you are simply too alluring. It’s only human nature."

"Hmph, are you more alluring than that vixen by your side?"

"You Tan is a vixen, and you are a fairy. Both have their own merits.", Ye Fan chuckled.

"Truly, not offending a single one... Hmm... Woo..."

Ye Fan's injuries were too severe for him to move, so Su Ningxue took the lead throughout the entire process, employing the Yin-Yang Nirvana Method to slowly heal Ye Fan.

Although the Righteous Path Eight Sects attempted to suppress the news, how could such an event possibly remain unspoken?

In just a few days, everything that happened in the Joyous Union Sect spread.

Initially, many people believed it was an exaggerated rumor. How could someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm withstand three moves from Dao Xuan, even if it was only fifty percent power?

But soon, more and more news emerged, and Disciples who were present even came forward to testify.

Everyone spoke animatedly, spitting saliva flying everywhere. To prevent disbelief, they spontaneously added explanations for the unbelievable parts.

As the news spread wilder and wilder, it eventually morphed into tales of Ye Fan defeating Dao Xuan and forcing the Cultivators of the Eight Sects to lose all face.

Dao Xuan was so angry upon hearing this that he couldn't eat for several days. He strongly suspected that the Joyous Union Sect had paid to buy trending topics.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Fan had also acquired a new title.

Invincible Below the Core Formation Realm!
