Ye Fan remained silent as he helped Ye Kong and Ye Yun up with tears in his eyes. He helped them to an empty space at the side. After placing them down, Ye Fan wiped his tears and looked back at the black-robed man expressionlessly. After a long while, Ye Fan's lips curled up.
He was smiling! He was actually smiling! The black-robed man's sinister smile disappeared. Instead, he suddenly felt that the air had turned cold. Ye Fan's smile made him feel uneasy.
Ye Fan stood up and slowly stood in front of the black-robed man.
"Do you have a family?" Ye Fan held the Snake Shadow Sword vertically in front of him and asked as he sized it up.
"… …" The black-robed man was stunned by the question.
"Do you have a family?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Yes, why?" The black-robed man replied.
"Is it in Japan?" Ye Fan continued asking.
"Yes, what do you want?" The black-robed man said.
"Alright." Ye Fan smiled and said, "After I kill you, I will cut off your head and get someone to send it to your family. I will let them experience the feeling of losing a family member."
"Baka!" The black-robed man was enraged. The Ever-Fire Sword in his hand surged into the sky again as he slashed at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan did not move at all as if nothing had happened. He sneered as he watched the Ever-Fire Sword slash at him.
Just as the Ever-Fire Sword was about to hit Ye Fan, a clang was heard. The Snake Shadow Sword blocked the Ever-Fire Sword. The two peerless weapons collided. The red and white lights reflected each other, neither giving way to the other. One side was filled with flames, while the other side was filled with cold air. The black-robed man did not stop at all. He activated the Ever-Fire Sword, wanting to use the flames from the sword to burn Ye Fan to death. However, what he did not expect was that when the flames on the Ever-Fire Sword rushed to the Snake Shadow Sword, it stopped. It was as if it had hit an invisible wall and immediately changed direction.
Looking at Ye Fan again, there was still a sneer on his face. He looked coldly at the black-robed man as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Baka!" The black-robed man was anxious. He used all of his strength on the Everlasting Flame Sword, wanting to use brute force to overwhelm Ye Fan.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and channeled his spiritual power to his arm. He raised his arm and the black-robed man was forced to retreat more than ten feet under his domineering strength!
The black-robed man stabilized himself in the air and slowly landed on the ground. After landing on the ground, he was covered in cold sweat.
"It seems that he has completely absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Spiritual Jade," Fujiwara No Chiko said coldly.
"Isn't it all because of you? If you had taken care of your treasure, would this have happened?" The black-robed man said angrily.
"How can you blame me?" Fujiwara No Chiko refuted the black-robed man. "If you had not underestimated your opponent, you would have already captured this child. His Snake Shadow Sword and the treasure on his back would have already been in your hands. Why did you have to go through so much trouble?" Fujiwara No Chiko continued, "I also don't want to see the current situation."
The black-robed man's face turned red and then white. Fujiwara No Chiko's words were not without reason. If he had not underestimated his opponent, he would have already completed the task. Now that he had to make up for his own mistakes, he could not blame anyone else. The only thing he could do now was to use all of his strength and use his trump card to defeat his opponent.
Thinking of this, the black-robed man concentrated and closed his eyes. His loose black robe once again fluttered without any wind, and the flower on his robe shone with a red light.
Fujiwara No Chiko's face changed greatly. She quickly jumped ten meters away. After landing on the ground, she looked at Ye Fan with a worried expression. Her eyes were full of concern.
At this time, the black-robed man's hair and beard were already standing up. His body was surrounded by a red light, as if a huge cover was covering him. The red light cover was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, it turned into a huge skull that was ten meters tall. What was even more strange was that countless cherry blossom petals were dancing in the skull's eyes. It was very strange.
"Thousand Cherry White Bone Slash!!!" Fujiwara No Chiko shouted. Unexpectedly, this black-robed man had a secret technique that had been lost in Japan.
Seeing this scene, Ye Fan's face did not change. Now that the Spiritual Energy in his body had completely merged, his eyes had also returned to normal. He had already mastered the use of x-ray vision. As long as he transferred the Spiritual Energy to his eyes, he would be able to see the meridians of a person's body. He would then transfer the Spiritual Energy away from his eyes and return to normal.
Ye Fan held the sword with one hand and urged the Snake Shadow Sword's cold Qi to eighty percent. He used his Spiritual Energy to display his movement technique. A white light appeared in front of the black-robed man in an instant. His movements were smooth like moving clouds and flowing water. The black-robed man remained motionless with his eyes tightly closed.
With a "boom" sound, waves of Qi rose up and the cold Qi scattered. The Snake Shadow Sword, wrapped in a biting cold Qi, firmly struck the red skull. Ye Fan only felt a strong force coming from the skull and his power was instantly reflected. He felt the web between his thumb and forefinger go numb. The Snake Shadow Sword in his hand almost fell out of his hand. In a moment of desperation, he did not dare to be negligent and flew back ten meters.
Looking at the black-robed man, he still maintained his original appearance. However, the ground outside of the red skull had been frozen by Ye Fan's cold Qi.
What kind of technique did the black-robed man use? Under the attack of the Snake Shadow Sword with eighty percent cold Qi, he did not even move an inch! Ye Fan was a little surprised.
At this time, the black-robed man in the red skull suddenly opened his eyes. The huge red skull's light shield instantly became one size bigger. The color of the red skull became even more blood-red. The cherry blossoms in the skull also danced faster.
"Savaruka, Nakara …" As the black-robed man kept chanting the secret spell, the blood-red cherry blossoms in the red skull's eyes began to slowly flow out from the corners of his eyes. It was as if the skull was crying blood! After the blood-red cherry blossoms flowed to the ground, they did not stop. Instead, they continued to flow on the ground as if they had a life of their own. Gradually, they surrounded the black-robed man. For a moment, the entire skull was filled with blood-red cherry blossoms dancing up and down!
"Natakura, Smiura …" The black-robed man continued to chant the spell. The skull trembled and gradually became bigger. The blood-red cherry blossoms in it also began to move rapidly!
"Zakura!" As the black-robed man shouted, countless blood-red cherry blossoms gushed out from the skull's eyes, nostrils, and mouth. They formed into five blood-red bouquets. The bouquets quickly merged into a thick flower pillar and rushed towards Ye Fan.
Ye Fan did not dare to be careless. He activated the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand. The cold light shone again. Ye Fan raised the Snake Shadow Sword in his hand up high. When the five blood-red bouquets were about to reach him, he forcefully slashed them down.
Swoosh … Countless blood-red cherry blossoms collided with the Snake Shadow Sword like countless sharp blades. However, the Snake Shadow Sword did not back down. Under the activation of Ye Fan's spiritual power, it emitted a dazzling white light and split the flower pillar into two. The two flower pillars changed their direction and went around Ye Fan.
"What Thousand Cherry Slash? That's all there is to it," Ye Fan sneered as he split the flower pillar into two. The black-robed man's attack was not as powerful as he imagined.
The black-robed man did not say anything after hearing Ye Fan's words. Instead, a sinister smile appeared on his face again.
"Young man, don't be too happy yet. Look behind you," Fujiwara No Chiko reminded Ye Fan.
What …? Behind me …? Ye Fan continued to split the flower pillar in front of him with the Snake Shadow Sword. At the same time, he turned his head to look behind him. When he saw what happened, his expression changed drastically. The two flower pillars that were split into two by the Snake Shadow Sword went around Ye Fan. They made a turn in the air and attacked Ye Fan from behind again!
What …? What kind of attack is this? How can it make a turn on purpose? Ye Fan broke out in a cold sweat. If not for Fujiwara No Chiko's reminder, he would have been hit by the flower pillars that attacked him from behind. The thousands of cherry blossom petals were like thousands of sharp blades. If he was surrounded by the petals, even his bones would be shredded to pieces.
Ye Fan did not dare to be careless. Before the two flower pillars reached him, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and leaped into the air, dodging the three flower pillars.
However, the situation was not as simple as he had imagined. The three cherry blossoms did not succeed in their first attack, so they came at him again. They shot up into the sky from below and looked like they would not stop until they had sliced Ye Fan's flesh and bones. This time, the three flower pillars did not merge into one. Instead, they attacked Ye Fan from three different directions. One went to entangle the Snake Shadow Sword while the other two attacked Ye Fan's head and chest from above. The three cherry blossoms flew towards Ye Fan with their petals surging towards him.
Ye Fan was helpless. He could only circulate his spirit qi and use his movement technique to avoid the flower pillars again. Ye Fan dodged while thinking about how to deal with the enemy. The Thousand Cherry Slash was indeed worthy of its reputation. If not for his fast movement technique, he might have already died at the hands of the black-robed man. While Ye Fan was thinking, the flower pillars changed again. The three flower pillars turned into nine and chased after Ye Fan from all directions.
This time, he could not dodge anymore. He could not do anything if he kept on dodging. Ye Fan did not dodge anymore. He increased the cold energy of the Snake Shadow Sword to 90%.
The Snake Shadow Sword let out a clear and pleasant cry. It shone brightly and the cold energy went berserk. Ye Fan deliberately used 90% of the cold energy while using his spirit qi to suppress the cold energy. The white light emitted by the sword formed a three feet wide ball of light. It was dazzling.
When the nine flower pillars were three feet away from Ye Fan, Ye Fan turned around in the air. The sword turned with him and he moved with the sword. The 90% cold energy released by the Snake Shadow Sword instantly released cold energy. The white ball of light instantly exploded and a huge halo quickly expanded. It formed several huge shockwaves. It was like a ripple created by a stone thrown into water!
Shockwaves erupted from the ball of light one after another, and the nine cherry blossoms were almost completely shattered by the shockwaves. When they finally reformed, they were covered in a thick layer of ice, and were frozen in mid-air. The nine flower pillars wrapped in ice were frozen in midair. They were sparkling and translucent. They were very beautiful. They were like nine tails coming out from the skull.
Although the skull was on the ground, it was still shaken by the shockwaves. The black-robed man quickly formed a seal with his hands to stabilize the skull.
When Ye Fan landed back on the ground, he panted heavily. The move just now had consumed too much of his Spirit Qi. He had to activate the Snake Shadow Sword that had ninety percent of its Frost Qi and at the same time, he had to use his Spirit Qi to suppress the Frost Qi. However, this was the only way to display the full power of the cold energy. It was also the only way to form a huge shockwave. Ye Fan bitterly smiled. He was probably the only one who could think of such a move. But even so, the skull was still the same. His cold air only froze the cherry blossoms, but not the skull. Ye Fan recovered his strength while opening his pores to absorb more spirit qi.
The black-robed man was also not in a good state. His face had clearly become pale. It was not easy to support such a large formation. Adding on Ye Fan's overbearing cold energy, the black-robed man's stamina was running out. He did not think that even after using his family's "Thousand Cherry Slash", he would still be unable to suppress Ye Fan. Now, the two of them were not just competing in terms of moves, but also in terms of stamina. Whoever ran out of stamina first would fall first.
Thinking of this, the black-robed man forced himself to use the Fleeting Flame Sword again. He was not young anymore. In terms of stamina recovery, he could not compare to Ye Fan. Adding on the fact that Ye Fan had absorbed the spirit stone "Blood Phoenix", the situation was not good for him. The only thing he could do now was take advantage of Ye Fan's lack of stamina to defeat him.
The black-robed man clenched his teeth and pushed the Fleeting Flame Sword to its limit. The Fleeting Flame Sword that was shining with a red light suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a blue flame that made a hissing sound. The surrounding temperature instantly became very hot, and the air also became very dry. Even Fujiwara Chiko's forehead was oozing large drops of sweat. The scenery in the entire courtyard seemed to tremble and distort because of the hot air.
