Chapter 1774


    “How much do you hate this merciless world? Don’t spend the night crying solitarily. Cloud and Mist


    Sword Technique! Second strike! Ice Heart!” a cold, majestic voice boomed overhead.


    Ye Fan turned his attention to the horizon, and he saw a beautiful, blinding sh piercing the sky.


    The de''s sh pierced the earth as if lightning had struck, and thunder roared back at the skies


    as retaliation.


    The majestic impact from the attack shook the mountains around them, and the clouds up high in


    the sky disappeared into pieces.


    “This is impossible...”


    “D*mn it! Who dares interfere?”


    “I thought Chu Tianfan''s subordinates are all being kept busy by the Chu Sect!”


    When the men in ck sensed the immense power contained in that attack, they started shivering


    by reflex, for they could sense death looming over them.


    If they were struck by that attack, they could and would end up dead.


    “What should we do now?”


    “Should we kill this guy or stop this attack first?”


    The deadly attack was charging straight at them like an unbridled cheetah, while Ye Fan was only a


    few hundred yards away from them. They could not decide on what to do first.


    “Are you stupid? We have to survive this attack first! We can kill Chu Tianfanter! We have to stop


    this attack now, or we''ll be killed instead!”


    The men in ck''s leader made a quick decision. They stopped their attack on Ye Fan and turned


    their attention to their impending doom. They held no grudges against Ye Fan in the first ce, so


    there was no need to put themselves in harm''s way just to kill him.


    After some consideration, they decided to handle their attacker first before they would take Ye Fan''s


    life.


    “Very well then!”


    “Let''s do this together!”


    Even though they had no idea who was attacking them, they knew the neer was not to be


    trifled with. After all, only an immensely powerful fighter could use such a powerful attack.


    They dared not underestimate their challenger, or death could be their fate. Without any hesitation,


    the men in ck unleashed all their power, shooting it straight up into the heavens.


    “Ultimate Seal!”


    “Palm of Wisdom!”


    “de of Olympus!”


    “Brittania Cross!”


    The thirteen men in ck unleashed thirteen powerful attacks at once, and the immense power


    lying within their attacks alone whipped up a storm around them.


    The attacks came together like thirteen furious streams that merged and formed a river. From where


    Ye Fan was standing, he thought the amalgamation of attacks looked just like a coursing river,


    though it was made up entirely of destructive energy.


    The attacks flowed furiously at the sword sh that was charging toward the men in ck


    relentlessly. Even when faced with such powerful attacks, the blinding sh that came from across


    the horizon did not dull. Not even one bit.


    The mysterious challenger swung their sword a few more times after they sent out their first two


    attacks, and the bright lights roared fiercely at the river of attacks that were charging toward them.


    A momentter, the sword shes and the men in ck''s attacks shed in the air. The explosion


    that ensued was loud enough to crush the eardrums of those who heard it, and a great shockwave


    spread from the center, pulverizing everything within its vicinity.


    Ye Fan was a few hundred yards away from the sh, and he was hiding in the crater, trying to not


    get caught in the aftershock. Even so, he failed, and he was sent flying away again. Only this time,


    he coughed up blood.


    However, Ye Fan should count himself lucky that it was only the shockwave, and that he was hiding


    in the crater. If not, the explosion from the sh alone could have killed him without any help from


    the men in ck.


    The battle did not end after that sh, however. Surprisingly, the men in ck and their attacker


    were in a stalemate. The situation would change soon, though, for the men in ck''s faces fell.


    There was surprise on their faces, and there was horror as well.


    “What power!”


    “Who is this person?”


    “How did they stop all thirteen of us at once?”


    The men in ck were shocked, and they could feel their skin crawl with terror. How did Ye Fan


    even get this kind of fighter to serve him? How did he even grow to this level?He alone is enough to


    mess the Chu Sect up, and now he has a subordinate who can stop all thirteen of us at once?


    “D*mn it all!”


    “This is impossible!” “There are thirteen of us, and there is only one of them! There''s no way we


    can''t win!” the men in ck roared furiously.


    They injected even more power into their attacks, and the river of attacks was starting to roar with


    an intense ferocity.


    Their attacks seemed to work, as the blinding light was starting to dim. The men in ck smiled,


    thinking that victory was close at hand, but their hopes were dashed, for the icy voice boomed


    overhead yet again.


    Ye Fan, who had been watching from afar, noticed something extraordinary in this attack. He gazed


    into the horizon, and his face froze. “This can''t be... The attacker has stepped into the realm of One


    With the Sword?”


    The sword pierced the sky above and descended with the ferocity only seen in a hurricane. It cut


    the night sky in two and lit the heavens up, shining brightly like the sun. A blinding sh of light


    rained down upon the thirteen men in ck, roaring at them majestically.


    “With the power of the monarch vested within me, Imand thee, kneel! Cloud and Mist Sword


    Technique! Seventh strike! Undefeatable!”


    Storms appeared on the battlefield and raged across the woods around it. The horizon became a


    blur as a silhouette appeared above in the heavens. Ye Fan watched as that silhouette faded into


    the sword strike above, and the light contained within the attack crushed the darkness around it,


    destroying any and all obstacles that stood in its way.


    As Undefeatable rained down upon the men in ck, it broke their river of attack, and their energy


    was shattered into tiny little pieces.


    “What?”


    The men in ck were shaken from that sight alone. They were veteran fighters who had ventured


    into the martial arts world for decades, but that was the first time they had seen such a powerful


    sword strike.


    The attack broke through the air, ignoring any and all resistance. Even after it destroyed the men in


    ck''s attacks, it rained down upon them, as if their attacks were nothing for it.


    A momentter, the sh of light washed across the men in ck, and silence fell upon the


    battlefield.


    When the storm finally disappeared into the night, only a single, hauntingly beautiful silhouette was


    left floating in the air.


    A veil covered her face, and her dress billowed in the air, while her lustrous ck hair tumbled down


    her shoulders.


    A gash appeared on the arms of the men in ck, and blood flowed out from it.


    There was agony in their eyes, and they retreated far away before they came to a stop. Even so,


    they still looked fearful of the fighter who had joined the battle earlier.


    “Pardon us, but who might you be? I have never seen such a marvelous attack before in my life. We


    wish to at least know of the name of the person who has defeated us,” one of the men in ck


    asked somberly.


    They stared intently at the woman, but she had no intention of answering their question.


    A moment of silenceter, she announced coldly, “You have three seconds to make a decision.


    Leave, or die.”


    There was malice in her tone, and she left no grounds for negotiation. It was a demand.


    “Why you...”


    The men in ck were furious, for the women''s attitude was far too arrogant. They were veterans,


    and it was the first time someone was treating them so rudely.


    “Three.”


    “Two...”


    The woman was starting her countdown, and she was slowly raising her sword as she did so,


    getting ready tounch another attack.


    It was then the men in ck knew that their mission to kill Ye Fan had ended in failure. Left with no


    choice, they could only leave the battlefield. But before they left, the leader said, “This is not the


    end, boy. We shall meet again eventually.”


    He waved his hand, and hispanions disappeared into the darkness with him. After their


    departure, silence once again returned to the forest.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Only Ye Fan and the mysterious woman were left on the battlefield. Ye Fan was leaning against a


    tree, looking at the woman from afar, but the woman did not even look at him. Her back was still


    turned


    against him even at that moment.


    A long, long silenceter, Ye Fan decided that he would speak up first. “Don''t you have anything to


    say to me?” He smiled.


    The woman still did not answer him. In the end, she raised her leg and was about to leave, but the


    moment she did so, she could not hold it in anymore, and she coughed up blood.


    Her face, which was already pale, to begin with, turned even whiter, and her veil was tainted with


    blood.


    “Yun!” Ye Fan gasped.
