Chapter 34 Shura Field

"The one surnamed Ye, do you have any last words?"

Yan Jingyun tried hard to capture a look of terror on Ye Fan's face, having even fantasized countless times about the scene of him kneeling and begging for mercy.

But the reality was that Ye Fan was utterly calm, as if he hadn't even noticed he was surrounded. This greatly annoyed Yan Jingyun.

"You're facing death, yet you're still putting on an act as a tough guy. If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might consider sparing your life."

Yan Jingyun attempted to shatter Ye Fan's psychological defense, but was met only with a burst of mockery.

"I truly didn't expect the dignified Prodigy of Dragon Head Peak to go to such great lengths just to deal with a failure like me. I'm truly flattered."

"The one surnamed Ye, I think the only thing tough left on you is your mouth," Yan Jingyun sneered.

"Yan Jingyun, you've got that wrong. My mouth isn't the hardest thing about me. If you don't believe me, just ask Wan'er. Of course, she definitely won't pay any attention to you."

"You!!"

Ye Fan's taunts made Yan Jingyun's face turn almost green, and his last bit of patience was exhausted.

"Attack! Kill him for me!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

The Yan Family disciples closest to Ye Fan struck first, each one putting all their energy into securing the first kill.

Yun Li nervously tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve, afraid to watch what would happen next.

Only Ye Fan remained calm, preparing to end this farce completely.

But just as he was about to activate the Mysterious Jade Finger, a dazzling ice flower fell without warning, followed closely by a sharp, chilling Sword Qi.

"Flying Frost!"

The temperature in the valley plummeted instantly. A fierce Sword Qi carved a chasm dozens of feet long between Ye Fan and the Yan Family members.

Before Yan Jingyun could react to what had happened, a graceful figure slowly descended from the sky.

Ye Fan paused, then showed an expression that made him want to laugh and cry, thinking she really wasn't giving him any chance to make a move.

Yun Li almost jumped up in excitement when she recognized the newcomer, but the person glanced at the two of them and frowned.

"Yun Li, why are you with Ye Fan?"

The person who arrived was Murong Wan.

Having not seen her for a month, Murong Wan still wore her ice-cold beauty expression, though the tone of her voice was somewhat suggestive.

"Wan'er, you showed up just in time. Don't tell me you've been secretly protecting me?"

Ye Fan's teasing made Murong Wan pause slightly, a hint of shyness and annoyance flashing across her pretty face.

Her appearance here was indeed a coincidence, but explaining it now was clearly useless.

Murong Wan became even more curious about why Yun Li was with Ye Fan.

The pampered darling of Pill Cauldron Peak, and a recognized good-for-nothing who relied on women—this combination looked strange no matter how you viewed it.

Yun Li blinked her large eyes curiously, looking at Murong Wan and then at Ye Fan, suddenly seeming to understand something.

"Senior Brother Ye Fan's Dao Companion isn't by any chance Sister Murong?"

"Could he be that failure from the rumors... This..."

Yun Li had never imagined the relationship between the two would be that of Dao Companions.

After all, she had long heard that Murong Wan's Dao Companion was a failure who couldn't Cultivate.

Yun Li simply couldn't connect Ye Fan with the word 'failure,' so she never considered that Murong Wan's Dao Companion was the one he mentioned.

But now Yun Li understood everything, and a strange look appeared on her pretty face.

"If Sister Murong finds out about that incident... Oh my... I'm so embarrassed... I can't live... I can't live anymore."

Seeing Yun Li's shy appearance, Murong Wan's frown deepened. Ye Fan seemed to have fallen into some kind of Shura Field.

Conversely, Yan Jingyun was completely ignored and left on the sidelines. When he finally reacted, he was so angry he ground his teeth to dust.

He never expected Murong Wan to interfere, and the jealousy in his heart instantly burned to the extreme.

"Ye Fan, you good-for-nothing freeloader! Why do you always have such incredible dog-shit luck!"

"Wan'er, you see the situation now. As long as you obediently swallow this Heart-Devouring Pill, I will spare your life. Otherwise, you can die together with this failure!"

Yan Jingyun completely dropped his pretense, tearing off his hypocritical mask.

Murong Wan's beautiful face turned as cold as frost, and waves of anger rose in her beautiful eyes.

"You asked me before why I chose Ye Fan over you."

"Well, I'll tell you now: it's because you reek of being scum. Even if all the men in the world died, I would never choose you."

Murong Wan's words were like ice knives stabbing into Yan Jingyun's heart, completely breaking the composure of this Master of disguise.

"Since that's the case, you two can be together then! Kill them for me!"

With Yan Jingyun's command, the surrounding clansmen rushed forward, preparing to chop the trio into pieces.

Murong Wan frowned slightly, telling Ye Fan and Yun Li to leave immediately while she stayed behind to hold off the Yan Family members.

"Sister Murong... Actually, Senior Brother Ye Fan is very strong..."

Yun Li tried to explain, but Murong Wan glared at her.

"Hmph, you must have snuck out to participate in the Trial Assembly. Wait until we get back and see how your Master punishes you."

Yun Li stuck out her tongue in fright and hid behind Ye Fan, not daring to come out.

As for Ye Fan, he originally intended to step in, but after watching for a while, he realized there seemed to be no need.

Murong Wan's strength was far beyond Yan Jingyun's expectations.

Wielding the azure frost sword, she was like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm. Fierce cold light flew everywhere, and no one could stand against her.

With just these Yan Family members at the Qi Refining Realm, Third or Fourth Level, they couldn't even get close; no matter how many came, they would only meet their doom.

In just a few moves, more than ten Yan Family members were either dead or injured. Yan Jingyun felt as if his heart was bleeding from the pain.

It wasn't that he cared about their lives, but that he grieved for the weakening of his own power.

Although Yan Jingyun was a direct descendant of the Yan Family, he was only one of the heirs.

He had several brothers who were also qualified to succeed as Family Head, some of whom were even Foundation Establishment Realm experts.

Almost all the forces Yan Jingyun brought into the Secret Realm were his direct subordinates. Nearly half of them were wiped out trying to corner Ye Fan, which was a significant blow to him.

Now, several more were slaughtered by Murong Wan as if cutting vegetables. If this continued, even if he succeeded in killing Ye Fan and the others, Yan Jingyun would lose his qualification to contend for the Family Head position.

"Qi Refining Realm, Ninth Level! Murong Wan's cultivation has improved again."

Yan Jingyun's eyes turned somewhat red when he thought of this. In his plan, Murong Wan was supposed to be one of his greatest assets.

But now she had become a life-or-death opponent. This turn of events was far beyond his expectations.

Seeing that if things continued this way, he would soon be left with no troops, Yan Jingyun drew his sword and joined the battlefield.

With the aid of the Qi Refining Realm, Seventh Level Prodigy, the initially one-sided situation gradually became deadlocked.

However, Murong Wan, facing dozens of opponents alone, still held the upper hand, turning the fight into a contest of endurance.

But Yun Li, standing nearby, anxiously stomped her feet and quickly asked Ye Fan why he wasn't stepping up to help.

"Who said I haven't made a move?"
