Chapter 2283 The Battle Of The Celestial Road


    “The loser dies, and the winner ascends to immortality!” The majestic and ethereal voice


    reverberated for a long time, shaking the heavens and earth. Ye Fan stopped in his tracks. He stood


    with his sword in hand upon hearing Chu Qitian''s words. A hint of determination appeared on Ye


    Fan''s attractive face.


    “Sure! Why not?” It was in Ye Fan''s intention to do so anyway. Chu Qitian was right. It would only be


    a waste of time and energy if they continued.


    In the end, no one would be able to reach the summit of the Celestial Road. It would be better to


    decide their fates there and then. Despite the uncertainty of whether he would seed or if his life


    was on the line, there was still, at least, the possibility of victory. Moreover, even if it was not for the


    sake of the Celestial Road, Ye Fan was still adamant about settling grudges between him and Chu


    Qitian. After all, Chu Qitian was the one who took Angie''s Jade Eyes back then. Ye Fan wanted to


    reim them for Angie.


    “Very well! You do have some guts, Chu Tianfan. I thought you would be too much of a wimp to


    fight! It seems that you do possess some of Chu Yunyang''s traits.”


    Symborsus was undoubtedly overjoyed upon seeing Ye Fan agreeing. Although Symborsus was


    now just a remnant of a soul, he managed to survive by borrowing Chu Qitian''s body. However, he


    only dared to spend these years in recovery and cultivation. His strength had undoubtedly


    recovered quite a bit. Unfortunately, inparison to his perfect state back then, there was still a


    significant difference.


    Yet, Symborsus was more than confident that he would be able to deal with a mere Chu Tianfan. A


    loud boom was heard as Symborsus finished his words. The surrounding heaven and earth energy


    immediately began to surge. The crimson-red radiance then condensed into beams of light swords


    before him.


    “Crimson sh!” Without any hesitation or dy, Chu Qitianunched his strongest attack right


    from the start. In an instant, millions of crimson des were all over the ce, covering everything


    in sight. From afar, it looked like a river of swords and a of des woven together with a


    vigorous blood-red Qi. Despite the hindrance and oppression of thews of heaven and earth on


    the Celestial Road, the speed of the crimson des remained incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye,


    they surrounded Ye Fan. Ye Fan dared not ck off.


    With the Sword of Yunyang in hand, he unleashed a series of ferocious shes. A surge of sword


    energy then filled the air. However, wielding a sword there felt different from wielding one on Earth.


    The gravity on the Celestial Road was dozens of times that of Earth.


    The Sword of Yunyang in Ye Fan''s hand suddenly became incredibly heavy. As a result, Ye Fan''s


    swordsmanship lost its original agility and elegance. His several attempts only appeared obscure


    and hindered. Even the effectiveness of the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique was greatly


    diminished. Under such circumstances, how could Ye Fan possibly be a match for Chu Qitian?


    Everyone witnessed the first face-to-face confrontation between the two. In the end, Ye Fan was


    utterly defeated. The crimson de kept shing across Ye Fan''s body relentlessly. Despite the


    protection provided by the Raijin Thunderdrake, traces of blood could still be seen on Ye Fan''s


    body. Ye Fan was once again knocked off the Celestial Road by Chu Qitian''s overwhelming power.


    “Ha ha ha! You finally know how powerful I am, brat. Even your mentor Chu Yunyang couldn''t


    defeat me back then. The most he could do was seal me away. Needless to say, you weren''t even


    an option as my opponent.”


    Afternding a sessful hit, Chu Qitian stepped onto the long staircase andunched another


    attack. As Chu Qitian descended along the Celestial Road, the pressure lessened, and his speed


    increased rapidly. In a sh, Chu Qitian''s figure appeared right before Ye Fan. As the saying goes,


    strike while the iron is hot. Chu Qitian''s attack rushed at Ye Fan again like a strong storm,


    mercilessly pounding upon him before he could gather himself from the earlier strike. The attacks


    were inclusive of fists or palms, chopping or shing.


    At that moment, Chu Qitian was seen repeatedly throwing heavy punches at Ye Fan''s abdomen.


    The deep rumble from the consecutive punches thundered like an explosion. In just a few moments,


    Chu Qitian had already thrown nearly a hundred heavy punches.


    Ye Fan''s Raijin Thunderdrake was brutally pierced through by Chu Qitian. Ye Fan''s abdomen caved


    in, and a mixture of blood and organs was spilled all over the ground. Chu Qitian gave a final kick,


    sending Ye Fan flying. As Ye Fan''s body rolled down the celestial stairway, the Sword of Yunyang,


    too, was knocked out of his hand. Like a withered leaf in the rain, Ye Fany silently on the Celestial


    Road.


    “How... How could this...”


    The battle both began and ended in a sh. For a moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent. Ye


    Qingtian, Aaron, and the others were dumbfounded. Far away in Jiangdong, Tang Yun was filled


    with worry. Chu Lin, on the other hand, could not help but shed tears. Xu Lei''s heart ached so much


    that it was hard to breathe. She closed her eyes, unable to look any longer. Although the fight


    happened in a farawaynd, the Celestial Road seemed to possess a unique magic that magnified


    the happenings at the said location, allowing half of the world''s poption to see it. That was why


    Xu Lei, Junie, and the others, who were nearly ten thousand miles away from Mount Kransbay,


    could see Ye Fan so clearly.


    “It''s too big.”


    “The gap is too big.”


    “There''s absolutely no hope of winning at all.” At the foot of Mount Kransbay, Ye Qingtian and the


    others had already lost hope. All along, Chu Qitian had been controlled by Moryana and others, so


    no one knew the true extent of his abilities. Yet, he managed to pierce through Ye Fan''s Raijin


    Thunderdrake after merely one confrontation with thetter. The power of Symborsus was truly


    terrifying. In that situation, no one held any hope for Ye Fan anymore. In fact, many people thought


    that Ye Fan might have already been beaten to death just from this one confrontation.


    “Hmph, such an overconfident fool,” Chu Qitian scoffed as he nced at the bloodied man beneath


    his feet.


    Then, he turned around and continued his journey up the Celestial Road. However, before Chu


    Qitian could even take a single step, faintughter was heard from behind.


    “What''s the rush, Chu Qitian? We''re not done yet.” There stood Ye Fan, a streak of fresh blood


    flowing down his forehead. Although slightly disheveled, Ye Fan''s eyes remained bright and spirited.


    Like the lights on the horizon, which never go out, his gaze was far away and profound. Chu Qitian''s


    face darkened upon seeing Ye Fan standing again.


    “You sure are a persistent brat. Believe it or not, I''ll freaking beat you to death!” With a roar of fury,


    he charged once more. Suddenly, Chu Qitian''s hands curled into ws as if they were venomous


    snakes ready to attack. They then lunged fiercely toward Ye Fan''s chest.


    Ye Fan, however, was already on guard. Using the Nine Steps of Yunyang, he avoided the attack.


    He then picked up the Sword of Yunyang and fiercely shed toward Chu Qitian''s wrist!


    ng!


    The long sword descended, striking Chu Qitian''s wrist with unwavering precision. Yet, the


    unexpected was that even though it was a body of flesh, it somehow felt as if the Sword of Yunyang


    was striking steel. A shower of sparks burst amidst the resonating sh. Although Ye Fan''s sword


    did not manage to cut off Chu Qitian''s arm, the gravity of the Sword of Yunyang ultimately forced


    thetter''s hand to retreat. The immense force caused Chu Qitian to furrow his brows in pain.


    “You brat! Again!”


    Chu Qitian did not feel discouraged after his attack was blocked. Instead, it led him to relentlessly


    release even more ferocious attacks. “Sky Hammer!”

    “Stygian Palm!”


    “Power Split!” The attacks came unceasingly, like a raging storm, pouring down on Ye Fan. In the


    beginning, Ye Fan fumbled as he was unable to handle the situation. He was left a blood-sttering


    mess and could only retreat after being repeatedly hit by Chu Qitian.


    Nevertheless, as the battle progressed, the situation was gradually improving. As the fight went on,


    Ye Fan stillcked the strength to fight back. However, he was almost able to hold out against the


    other!


    “Goodness gracious!”


    “He''s learning to fight through fighting!”


    “His learning ability is insanely good!”


    “No wonder the Chu Sect had been fighting with him for so many years, only to be ultimately


    overthrown by him!”


    The battle on the Celestial Road continued, shaking the heavens and the earth. Meanwhile, Ye


    Qingtian and the others at the foot of the mountain were watching the battle with trepidation.
