Shen Tianfang's reaction was already extremely fast. Moreover, an experienced cultivator like him generally had an extraordinary sense of danger.
However, the situation was too complicated at that time. He had to dodge the omnipresent black light and was distracted by the sudden appearance of the Green Traveling Immortal Sword. Therefore, when he realized the danger, it was already too late.
Shen Tianfang roared and tried his best to dodge, almost twisting his body like a fried dough twist. At the same time, he tore off a jade pendant hanging on his chest and crushed it without hesitation.
Suddenly, a light screen rose and enveloped him.
Obviously, that jade pendant was a one-time protective Dharma treasure.
The next moment, Qu Shuang's flying sword pierced the light screen.
Due to the obstruction of the light screen, Qu Shuang's flying sword was slightly slowed. However, Xia Ruofei had also used all his strength for this attack, so the light screen was unable to completely block Qu Shuang's flying sword. It only had a slight effect of slowing it down.
Soon, Qu Shuang's flying sword had already broken through the light screen and stabbed directly at Shen Tianfang.
It was precisely because of this short delay that Shen Tianfang's body twisted at an angle. Qu Shuang's flying sword's attack was slightly off target and did not directly pierce his heart. Instead, it pierced through Shen Tianfang's shoulder.
Shen Tianfang screamed, covered the wound on his shoulder, and retreated quickly.
Although a hole had been pierced through the light screen, the other parts were still functioning. This also gave Shen Tianfang a chance to breathe — the light screen had blocked most of the black light.
He suddenly turned his head to stare at Xia Ruofei and shouted, "I didn't expect … you to be so strong already! Even a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator is only so-so! Xia Ruofei, I really miscalculated this time. I underestimated you … It turns out that you have been pretending to be weak all along! "
Shen Tianfang finally felt Xia Ruofei's true strength from the attack of Qu Shuang's flying sword.
If Xia Ruofei was just an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator, Shen Tian's one-time protective Dharma treasure would have been able to block him.
Although the attack of a flying sword was related to the grade of the flying sword itself, the strength of the cultivator controlling the flying sword was more important. Without sufficient strength, even the best flying sword would be useless.
Just like Shen Tianfang, he could not control the flying sword in this trial space. He could only control the flying sword with his spiritual force, just like how Xia Ruofei controlled the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword. Naturally, the power of the flying sword was greatly reduced.
A child holding a treasured knife that could cut through iron like mud might be able to injure an adult who did not know martial arts, but when facing an unarmed martial arts master, he would not even be able to touch the corner of his opponent's clothes. Moreover, it was very likely that he would hurt himself.
Therefore, Shen Tianfang could clearly feel that Xia Ruofei's strength had long surpassed that of an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivator from that simple stab. Even an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator would not be able to gain any advantage when facing Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei did not say a word. As he controlled the Qu Shuang flying sword to continue attacking Shen Tianfang, he did not forget to maintain the black light of the Trap and Kill Array.
Although the black light could not break through the protective light screen in a short time, Xia Ruofei knew that this one-time protective Dharma treasure had a time limit. Once the effective time was over, the protective light screen would disappear without him needing to do anything.
Moreover, the more attacks it received, the greater the consumption of the protective light screen, and the shorter the time it could be maintained.
Therefore, he did not stop the black light's attack at all.
And the Qu Shuang flying sword's attack was using the Gentleman Sword Technique. The angle of the attack was extremely strange, and there were no traces of it at all. Even though Shen Tianfang was experienced and knowledgeable, he was still very clumsy in dealing with it. He looked very pathetic.
Shen Tianfang knew very well that if this continued, only death would await him. He could not help but feel very anxious.
He had almost used up all his trump cards, but he was trapped in the array and had completely lost the initiative.
The Qu Shuang flying sword once again pierced through the protective light screen. Shen Tianfang controlled his flying sword in time, swung it away, and jumped to the side at the same time, shouting, "Xia Ruofei! How about we each take a step back? If we stop now, you will get the friendship of the Tianyi Palace! Furthermore, I will never attack you again. I can swear on my heart's devil! If I violate the oath, I will die because of Qigong Deviation! Now we only need one more Mirage Beast to complete the task. It's not worth wasting time here! As long as we kill one more Mirage Beast as soon as possible, we can break the record and complete the task. At that time, both of us will get rich rewards. Why do you have to fight to the death with me? "
Xia Ruofei sneered and said, "Shen Tianfang, at the beginning, I had the idea of cooperating with you. It was you who suddenly tried to kill me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we would have joined hands to complete the task and received the reward to go to the fourth level of the trial space! Now that you see that things are not going well, and you are doomed to lose, you want to cooperate with me? What were you doing earlier? "
Shen Tianfang saw that the attacks of the Qu Shuang flying sword and the black light were getting fiercer and fiercer. He couldn't help but cry out anxiously, "Xia Ruofei, I was obsessed with greed before. I can apologize to you!"
"If an apology is useful, why do we need the police?" Xia Ruofei said a cliché line, and then waved his hand again. The Qu Shuang flying sword pierced the light curtain from an incredible angle again.
This time, Shen Tianfang's reaction was not timely enough. He managed to avoid being hit in the vital parts, but a hole was pierced in his arm, and blood immediately gushed out.
Shen Tianfang snorted in pain and cried, "Xia Ruofei, do you have to fight to the death?"
"Is there any room for negotiation between us?" Xia Ruofei asked with a sneer.
"Don't think that you can defeat me!" Shen Tianfang said bitterly, "I have been cultivating for more than 200 years, and I still have my trump cards. Even if you can kill me, this precious array will definitely be destroyed! At that time, it will be a situation where neither side wins. "
Shen Tianfang had always thought that this Trap and Kill Array was given to him by Xia Ruofei's sect elders. If such a precious array was destroyed, it would indeed be very painful.
However, he didn't know that this array was designed by Xia Ruofei himself. As long as Xia Ruofei was willing and had enough time, he could make a new set. There was no cost at all.
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Since Grand Elder Shen still has a trump card, then hurry up and use it! Otherwise, you won't have the chance later! "
After that, Xia Ruofei controlled the Qu Shuang flying sword again and pierced toward Shen Tianfang's head.
The light curtain had already been pierced by the Qu Shuang flying sword, and its protective effect had been reduced by a lot. Many of the black light rays could penetrate through the holes.
However, Shen Tianfang faintly felt that the attack of the black light would be very terrifying, so he would rather be stabbed by the Qu Shuang flying sword than give the black light any chance.
Of course, the protective shield was already on the verge of collapse, and he didn't have much Primordial Qi left.
It could be said that he had no chance to turn the situation around now that things had developed to this point.
Shen Tianfang was shocked and angry. While desperately resisting, he shouted, "Xia Ruofei, don't think that if you kill me here, no one will know! If I die, there will be an indelible mark on your body. As long as you are a disciple of the Tianyi Palace, you will be able to sense it! This is the secret skill of the Tianyi Palace. If you kill me, you will be hunted down by the entire Tianyi Palace when you go out! "
When Xia Ruofei heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and his attack suddenly slowed down.
Seeing this, Shen Tianfang hurriedly said, "Xia Ruofei, there is no need for us to fight to the death! What good will it do you to kill me? Now that everyone is in this trial space, the most important thing is to complete the trial task and get the great opportunity! I can swear to the Inner Demon that today's matter will end here, and I will never harm you in the future. Moreover, you and I know this, and I will never reveal a word to a third person! "
Shen Tianfang knew that he was in a critical situation, so he didn't dare to act like a senior anymore, and his tone was a little humble.
However, after hearing this, Xia Ruofei felt that this person couldn't be allowed to live.
People who knew when to yield and when to stand tall were often the most terrible.
Shen Tianfang belonged to this kind of person, who could even abandon his dignity in order to survive. How much credibility did his oath have? An oath to the Inner Demon was indeed very binding, but it was not completely impossible to avoid it. If some words were used in the oath, it would be difficult for others to detect it. Even if the oath was flawless, Shen Tianfang would still have a way to deal with Xia Ruofei in the future through other means.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei's killing intent became even stronger. He no longer cared about what Shen Tianfang had said, and directly controlled the Qu Shuang Flying Sword to launch a fiercer attack on Shen Tianfang.
Shen Tianfang originally thought that he had finally convinced Xia Ruofei, but he didn't expect that the attack only paused for a few seconds, and then it immediately came at him in an overwhelming manner.
Shen Tianfang was shocked and angry. He shouted, "Xia Ruofei, are you really going to do this? I'm not trying to scare you. If you kill me, you won't be able to hide it from the Tianyi Sect! Are you really ready to fight against the entire Tianyi Sect with your own strength? And that martial nephew of mine, Chen Xuan, you two are good friends! When the time comes, he will definitely break up with you! "
Xia Ruofei was not moved at all. The speed of the Qu Shuang Flying Sword was getting faster and faster, and the black light was gathering more and more.
Finally, the light curtain formed by the one-time protective magic treasure released by Shen Tianfang finally shattered under the accumulation of attacks.
Shen Tianfang's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. The black light was no longer blocked. It formed a dense attack array around him, blocking all his escape routes.
"Puff! Puff! Puff! "
A series of dull sounds rang out. At the same time, Shen Tianfang's body was penetrated by many black lights. Several of them directly penetrated his head, chest, and other vital parts. Blood spurted out of the wounds like a fountain.
Shen Tianfang's body suddenly stiffened, and his face showed an incredulous look. Until now, he still couldn't accept this reality. As the cultivator with the highest cultivation in the exploration team and the longest cultivation time, he had been killed so easily by a junior at the early stage of the Gold Core Realm.
Shen Tianfang could feel that the vitality in his body was rapidly dissipating. His eyes were filled with incomparable resentment. He gnashed his teeth and said intermittently, "Xia … Xia … Ruofei … You've caused a big … big trouble! The Tianyi Sect … from now on … will fight you to the death! "
As Shen Tianfang spoke, blood gushed out of his mouth. His face looked even more ferocious and terrifying.
After saying that, Shen Tianfang's eyes also lost their light. His body fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
At the moment when Shen Tianfang's vitality was cut off, a colorful light suddenly appeared above his head. This light circled around Shen Tianfang's body and then shuttled through the formation.
The trapping formation was still running, but it seemed to have no effect on this colorful light at all.
This colorful light flew unscrupulously in the formation, as if it was looking for something.
At this time, in the Mountain Sea Realm of the Ring-Tu space, Xia Ruofei, who was using his spiritual force to observe the outside world through the Ring-Tu space, couldn't help but say to himself, "Shen Tianfang's words just now were really not a bluff … Fortunately, I thought of such a wonderful way …"
After Shen Tianfang's threatening words just now, Xia Ruofei had been quickly thinking about countermeasures. Although Shen Tianfang might be bluffing, Xia Ruofei couldn't gamble with his life.
After all, once he lost the bet, it meant that he would never rest in peace with the Tianyi Sect.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei came up with the safest solution in the shortest time possible — hiding in the Ring-Tu space.
Although Xia Ruofei didn't know how Shen Tianfang's curse-like threat would be realized, and he didn't know if hiding in the Ring-Tu space would work, this was the best solution he could find at the moment. After all, he and Shen Tianfang would never rest until one of them was dead.
Therefore, when Xia Ruofei launched the last blow, he directly entered the Ring-Tu space.
The Spiritual Map Scroll had been prepared long ago, and Xia Ruofei hid it in a bush at the eye of the formation.
After entering the Ring-Tu space, Xia Ruofei immediately released his spiritual force to check the outside world.
As expected, the moment Shen Tianfang breathed his last, a five-colored light actually appeared.
Xia Ruofei believed that if he still stayed in the outside world, the colorful light would definitely find him accurately and leave an indelible mark on him.
When he returned to the cultivation world on Earth in the future, this mark would be like a light bulb in the dark night. Anyone from the Tianyi Sect would be able to see that he was the one who killed Shen Tianfang.
At the thought of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.
Of course, he could also hide in Peach Blossom Island until his strength was enough to compete with the Tianyi Sect, but that was not his style. Moreover, he had too many ties in the secular world. He couldn't guarantee that the Tianyi Sect wouldn't be angry and attack his relatives and friends in the secular world.
After all, in this exploration team, in addition to Shen Tianfang, there were two other people from the Tianyi Sect, including Chen Xuan, who was quite close to him. It was impossible for him to return to Peach Blossom Island quietly.
In other words, as long as he was marked, the news that Xia Ruofei killed Shen Tianfang would inevitably be spread, unless he also killed Chen Xuan and Xu Yurou. Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan were quite close, and he had no enmity with Xu Yurou. How could he kill her?
