Chapter 68, number one on the kill list

"Because you're too ugly."

Ye Fan's words echoed continuously in You Tan's mind, like Garen with an Infinity Edge dealing a silence and a critical hit.

You Tan stood frozen for a long while before snapping out of it, her realization quickly turning into humiliated rage.

"Little Brother, you've really made big sister Life Qi. Don't think that just because my illusions are useless, you can have your way with me."

A cold light flashed in You Tan's beautiful eyes as her seductive figure dissolved into a brilliant white lotus, reappearing before Ye Fan in the blink of an eye.

Several shimmering silver silk threads shot out from You Tan's long sleeves. After Ye Fan dodged them, dozens more threads shot out from different directions; their toughness was so great that even the red lotus sword couldn't cut through them instantly.

"These threads are actually a Magic Treasure?"

Ye Fan and You Tan clashed, the red lotus sword and silver threads intertwining in a fierce struggle, appearing evenly matched for a moment.

"She's strong. Her cultivation should be around the Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Level or even the sixth level. It seems I need to be a bit more serious."

Ye Fan originally wanted to hide his strength, but it seemed impossible now.

The red lotus sword flew from his hand, stirring up violent Fire Spirit Power. The terrifying force caused You Tan's expression to change drastically as she hurriedly manipulated countless threads to form a shield.

The collision of the two Magic Treasures triggered a fearsome spiritual explosion. The powerful force jolted You Tan's internal organs, and her alluring, seductive face instantly turned pale.

"You're a tough one. Little Brother, we have plenty of time in the future. Big sister is leaving first."

You Tan gave a delicate shout, intending to vanish into a white lotus again, but this time Ye Fan gave her no chance.

"immortal binding rope."

With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Fan unleashed the low-grade spirit treasure, the immortal binding rope, amidst a burst of golden light.

Before You Tan could react, she was bound tightly. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape the suppression of the immortal binding rope.

You Tan's body arched backward as the immortal binding rope crossed over her chest and covered every corner of her body, her hands tied behind her back and nearly bound to her ankles.

This shameful posture caused You Tan's face to flush crimson instantly, and she laughingly cursed Ye Fan for being so indecent.

"I thought Little Brother was truly a man of integrity, but it turns out you like this sort of thing."

"Unfortunately, big sister has business to attend to today and can't play with you. Let's meet again another day."

You Tan giggled, intending to use her old trick to escape, but panic soon appeared on her face.

"Wait... my spiritual power... why can't I use it?"

This time, You Tan was truly panicked. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't mobilize a single bit of spiritual power. She had become meat on a chopping block, entirely at Ye Fan's mercy.

"This immortal binding rope can seal spiritual power. If you were a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, you might be able to struggle a bit, but for someone like you, you'd better save your energy," Ye Fan said bluntly.

Although she was panicked to the extreme, nothing showed on You Tan's face. She immediately put on a weak appearance and began to plead piteously.

"Little Brother, big sister knows she was wrong. Give me a chance and let me go, okay? Big sister will let you do whatever you want with her."

You Tan wore a bashful expression, looking like an innocent young girl. Anyone else might have actually fallen for it.

"Is there something wrong with your head? You're already at my mercy while bound. Why would I take the risk of letting you go?" Ye Fan mocked her mercilessly.

"This... Little Brother, you really don't understand romance... Being tied up is very inconvenient for big sister... If you let me go... big sister promises to give you an experience of celestial bliss."

Even without her illusion powers, You Tan's tone and expression remained seductive to the extreme. Coupled with her slowly writhing, curvaceous body, the enticing sight was enough to make anyone's throat go dry.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in your flab."

"Actually, I'd like to talk business with you."

"Business? What business?" You Tan asked instinctively.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere quieter."

"Alright... You... what are you doing with big sister's sock... how annoying... wait... what are you doing... you wouldn't dare... mmmph..."

"Sorry, you have too many tricks. I'd better be careful."

With her mouth gagged, You Tan's alluring face was instantly covered in a shameful flush.

She wanted nothing more than to tear Ye Fan into a thousand pieces, but she was completely helpless.

Ye Fan hoisted You Tan onto his shoulder and quickly vanished into the forest.

Meanwhile, on the Qingyun Sect square, all the Sect Heads present were stunned as they watched Ye Fan suddenly skyrocket to the top of the kill list.

kill list: Joyous Union Sect Disciple Ye Fan, 58 kills, Rank 1.

Staring at the unfamiliar name that had suddenly appeared, Sect Head Dao Xuan and the others were bewildered, wondering when the Joyous Union Sect had produced such a character.

This time, even Qing Mingzi himself was dumbfounded. If not for so many people watching, he would have slapped himself to see if he was dreaming.

"Ye Fan became number one on the kill list?"

In just a few seconds, Ye Fan's name had surged from 234th place to 1st.

In other words, he had killed over fifty Cultivators in succession within seconds. This level of cultivation seemed a bit exaggerated, didn't it?!

The Sect Heads of the Qionghua Sect, Qingtian Sword Sect, Glazed Sect, and others all congratulated the Joyous Union Sect on having a worthy successor. After a momentary daze, Qing Mingzi hurriedly returned the courtesies; Ye Fan had truly earned a lot of prestige for the Sect.

As for what method he used to achieve this result, it didn't seem very important at the moment.

Only Dao Xuan's expression was somewhat sour. He let out a cold snort and said, "This boy actually killed over fifty people in a row. With such bloodlust, he must be some kind of demonic Cultivator."

Any trial Disciples who were defeated would be teleported back to the square.

However, it seemed that none of those fifty-odd people had returned just now. In other words, they weren't simply defeated but were all killed by Ye Fan. This ruthlessness was indeed more extreme than any other Disciple on the list.

"Hmph, in the Heavenly Pride Assembly, life and death are up to fate. If your Disciples are afraid of dying, they might as well withdraw now," Qing Mingzi retorted.

"Sophistry! I see that this person clearly has too much bloodlust and should be severely punished," Dao Xuan said bluntly.

The two Sects had been at odds for years, which everyone knew well, so they could only try to mediate and smooth things over.

Qing Mingzi manipulated the "Spectating Array" to try and find Ye Fan's location, but after searching all around, he found no trace of him, leaving a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"This kid runs really fast," Qing Mingzi cursed inwardly.

On the other side, Su Ningxue breathed a slight sigh of relief, then cursed Ye Fan in her heart for making her worry for nothing.

"But then again... how did he defeat so many people in such a short time?"

Su Ningxue looked suspicious. After thinking it over, she figured Ye Fan had likely used the Thunder Seal while everyone was in a chaotic brawl, which was how he achieved such a freakish result.

While the big shots outside were debating, Ye Fan carried You Tan to a hidden cave and tossed her onto the ground.

"Ah... this guy doesn't know the first thing about being tender to a beautiful woman," You Tan cursed in her heart.
