Best Young Master

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1825: Ye Fan vs. Xingtian IV

The scene fell silent, as a bloody stench spread in the air.

On the Heavenly Demon Platform, a towering figure stood proudly!

Ye Fan’s hair shone brilliantly, his body shrouded in a layer of Purple Light, like an eternal Demon Lord crossing realms to descend, with an air of swallowing mountains and rivers, overlooking the world.

Everyone thought Xingtian was doomed. Even his head had been blown apart; no matter how strong his physique was, it was impossible for him to survive.

However—

Ye Fan knew that Xingtian was not dead.

When he struck Xingtian’s head, he had felt a strange ripple—Xingtian’s Divine Soul seemed to have been swept away by something!

At this moment, he stood proudly atop the Heavenly Demon Platform, pushing his spiritual sense to the limit and covering the entire Heavenly Demon Platform!

Without a doubt, as long as Xingtian resurrected, he would definitely appear on the Heavenly Demon Platform. Otherwise, it would count as losing the match, and this was something he could not tolerate.

Besides, Ye Fan also understood that the reason he had been able to blast Xingtian with one punch was mainly because he had caught the other party off guard, without giving him any time to react.

Once Xingtian reacted, relying on his endless stream of martial arts and secret techniques, the battle would become extremely difficult.

Sure enough!

From the northwest direction came an abnormal ripple in the Void, as if something was about to emerge from it.

"I really didn’t expect that a mere ant would actually make me waste a Death Replacement Talisman, but I will never give you another chance."

A deep roar came from the Void, like an Elder Gu Evil Spirit returning, breaking its chains and charging out of Hell.

"Buzz!"

The Void split open, and Xingtian, covered in blood, walked out from within.

His hair was disheveled, blood light shot from his eyes, and a thick evil aura surged from his body, truly like an awakened Demon.

"No wonder he could come back from the dead. So he used a Death Replacement Talisman!"

Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly understood.

Just now, when Xingtian was killed, the Xing Family member had not been particularly worried, not even showing any reaction. It turned out they had long known that Xingtian carried a Death Replacement Talisman on him that could block a single killing calamity.

However, Xingtian felt a great pang of heartache as well. The Death Replacement Talisman was incomparably precious; the entire Xing Family only had three, and they had been bestowed by an envoy from the Upper Realm in appreciation of the Xing Family’s potential.

In the Demon World, no one could forge Death Replacement Talismans.

It was a one-use consumable. Once used, it was gone, equivalent to a Cultivator’s entire life.

"Have you decided how you want to die?"

Xingtian spoke, his voice low and deep.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"

Ye Fan replied coldly, while readying himself for battle. The Death Energy within him boiled, and two beams of silver light shot from his eyes, piercing through the Void.

"Blood Demon Slash!"

Xingtian roared, looking like a mad demon. He raised his palm like a blade and slashed at Ye Fan, a fierce sword light stirring up a boundless tide of blood.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan moved, still using the Heavenly Demon Fist. Aside from the Heavenly Demon Fist, he had no other martial arts.

Yet the blazing Punch Ray still shattered Xingtian’s sword light. The two streams of Death Energy collided, annihilating the Void.

"I don’t believe I can’t kill you!"

Xingtian’s face twisted ferociously as he unleashed all kinds of martial arts and secret techniques in succession, attacking Ye Fan!

In the face of that endless barrage of martial arts and secret techniques, Ye Fan instantly fell into disadvantage, danger looming at every step. Relying solely on the six incomplete moves of the Heavenly Demon Fist, he simply could not contend with Xingtian.

"Pff!"

Under Xingtian’s fierce offensive, Ye Fan suffered grievous injuries. A sharp sword light split open his chest, purple blood spraying into the air, nearly tearing him open from chest to belly!

"Ah..."

Zi Huan cried out in alarm, then hurriedly clamped both hands over her small mouth, tears welling in her eyes.

Zi Xiaoyi’s face was also full of worry. He knew very well that Ye Fan was suffering because of his lack of martial arts and secret techniques. If Ye Fan possessed the same martial arts and secret techniques, this situation would never have happened.

At this moment, everyone else also understood. Ye Fan only had those few moves that he cycled through again and again. Although their power was immense, once the opponent grasped their pattern, danger abounded.

"What a pity. If he had corresponding martial arts and secret techniques, he would never have ended up like this!"

"The Xiao family still lacks deep foundations. They may have great strength, but without matching secret techniques, they are destined to fall!"

"I dare bet that if Zi Yefan had powerful martial arts or secret techniques, the final victor would definitely be him, not Xingtian!"

Many people sighed and lamented, feeling that Ye Fan’s fate was unfair and regrettable.

He had not lost in terms of strength, but in the severe lack of martial arts and secret techniques. With only those six moves to use over and over, how could he possibly withstand Xingtian’s endless martial arts and secret techniques?

"Gate of Death!"

The more Xingtian fought, the more excited he became. With a loud shout, he unleashed another secret technique. A pitch-black hole appeared in the Void and instantly swallowed Ye Fan.

"No..."

Zi Huan cried out, tears pouring down like rain. This time she no longer restrained her emotions and burst into loud sobs.

"We’ve wronged him!"

Zi Xiaoyi’s face was also wet with tears, as he murmured under his breath.

He understood clearly in his heart that if the Purple Demon Family had acknowledged Ye Fan’s potential a little earlier and given him some of the clan’s powerful martial arts and secret techniques, the situation might have been completely different.

Now, no matter what anyone says, it’s already too late.

"To hell with clan honor, to hell with dignity—I don’t want any of it. I just want Brother Ye to live, as long as he can be safe and sound. I’m willing to die in his place!"

Zi Huan cried her heart out, her voice choked and broken, but it clearly laid bare her heart, making many people turn to look at her.

The Demon Clan was an extremely selfish race by nature; for their own利益, they could sacrifice everything—even the lives of their own kin.

To have such a lover, willing to give up her own life for the one she loves, was truly rare and precious among the Demon Clan.

Inside the Gate of Death, Ye Fan ran into an unprecedented crisis. The Power of Death was like steel blades, bit by bit consuming his Life Force. If it had been an ordinary person, they’d probably have turned to pus and blood in an instant.

In the Void, the Gate of Death was like a black hole, devouring all things, spreading a terrifying pressure that filled many hearts with fear.

Even some older generation strong people wore grave expressions. This kind of secret technique was too heaven-defying; even for them, once they fell into the Gate of Death, it would be extremely hard to escape.

"It’s over, this time Zi Yefan is dead for sure!"

"The Gate of Death connects to the Death Realm. No one can survive after being swallowed by it."

"What a pity, such a youth with limitless potential. If he hadn’t run into Xingtian, his future achievements would have been immeasurable—he might even have been acknowledged by strong people from the Upper Realm!"

People discussed in succession; they all felt Ye Fan was doomed this time. The fact that he had broken through the Six Yin Blood Prison of Five Prisons Combined had already exceeded many people’s expectations.

However, the goddess of luck could not possibly always favor him.

If he could still break free from the Gate of Death, then that would truly be a miracle.

A miracle, huh?

"Boom!"

A terrifying evil aura surged out, and the Gate of Death in the Void shattered in an instant, erupting with dazzling light, like a blazing sun exploding.

"Ah..."

"My eyes..."

Many people had blood streaming from their eyes from the sudden intense light, screaming miserably as they hurriedly shut their eyes.

Even some older generation strong people squinted their eyes, not daring to look directly at that blinding radiance.

"What’s going on?"

The distant crowd was stunned. After the strong light faded, they all raised their heads to look toward the Void...

They saw, amid the ruins of destruction, a lone figure standing proudly. Though he looked battered, his whole body covered in wounds, he had nevertheless appeared.

In that instant, everyone was stunned, each of them dumbfounded.

Ye Fan’s life was too hard to snuff out. He had broken out of desperate deathtraps twice in a row; even the Gate of Death had been shattered by him. It was simply horrifying—if you told this story, people might not even believe it.

"A genius among geniuses, a demon among demons!"

Even the Ancient Demon King was shocked at this moment, staring in disbelief at Ye Fan, who looked like an eternal Demon Lord, murmuring under his breath.

Even he had thought earlier that Ye Fan would have a hard time surviving—the Gate of Death was an extremely terrifying secret technique. If it had been cast by a strong person at the Demon Venerate Realm, even he would have had to avoid its edge for a time.

Yet—

Ye Fan actually endured it. Not only did he endure it, he even shattered the Gate of Death!

"How can this be?"

The Xing Family member was shocked, for the first time revealing a solemn expression.

They felt uneasy—Zi Yefan’s Life Force was too tenacious; even the Gate of Death hadn’t been able to completely grind him away.

The people of the Mosi clan and the Mo Family member were shocked to an unimaginable degree; their jaws nearly hit their feet. Looking at Ye Fan in the Void, they felt despair for the first time.

"Brother Ye..."

Zi Huan once again burst into tears, but this time it was from excitement. Ye Fan had once more escaped from peril, making this Witch, who had never feared anything, start to believe from the bottom of her heart that there truly was a destiny in the dark.

"Swish!"

The moment Ye Fan shattered the Gate of Death, Xingtian shot away like a startled bird, fleeing at top speed. He no longer had a Death Replacement Talisman; he absolutely could not allow himself to be killed by Ye Fan again.

"You really have a hard life, don’t you!"

Xingtian’s face twisted ferociously as he said viciously, "If you had died in the Gate of Death, that would have been so perfect."

"Killing me isn’t that easy! The one who should die is you!"

Ye Fan circulated his Mystical Skill, and his injuries recovered in an instant. He spoke coldly.

"Kill me? You think that’s possible?"

Xingtian threw his head back in wild laughter and said, "Even if you managed to break free of the Gate of Death, in the end you still have to die!"

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared above Xingtian’s head, revealing an ancient, simple Bone Mirror, seemingly polished from the forehead bone of some peerless strong person. It was crystal clear, emanating terrifying waves as vast as an ocean.

"The Death Light Mirror?"

"Not good, back off, now!"

Directly in front of Xingtian, many onlooking Cultivators cried out in alarm. Chickens flew and dogs jumped as they quickly opened up a path.

"The Death Light Mirror is a Holy Artifact that the Xing Family ancestor brought back when he led an expedition to the Human Race’s Lin Xian Star Domain. It’s extremely terrifying."

"They say he killed a Supreme Holy Master of the Human Race, then used that Human Supreme Holy Master’s forehead bone to polish and perform Sacrificial Refinement on this mirror. It contains his Law within. Once activated, it can emit Death Light that dissolves all things—its terror is beyond words!"

The moment they saw that Bone Mirror above Xingtian’s head, many people turned pale with fright. Those Cultivators who knew of this Holy Artifact began to discuss it in shock as they scrambled to get away.
