Chapter 183: Chapter 112: The Seven Stars Gang Colludes with the Moon Worship Sect, the Demon Suppression Envoy is Trapped in the Grand Array, Chu Fan Furiously Kills the Cyan Wood Hall Master

No one’s "Nine Blood Soul Blades" had ever reached such a level!

No...

Not even the Hall Masters of the Blood Saber Sect could compare to this man’s "Nine Blood Soul Blades"!

"Who the hell are you!"

Zhou Tianci was terrified. All he could think about was escaping.

His opponent’s Saber Technique was far superior to his own. He was also astonishingly fast, to the point where he could even predict his Sword Techniques...

Besides, when facing the "Nine Blood Soul Blades," one was supposed to end the fight quickly to avoid being tainted by the Evil Qi the blade attracted.

If this kept up, there was only one way this could end for him—death!

Just then, the Ghost-faced Man unleashed a slash as fast as lightning, leaving him no room to evade!

"Too fast!"

Both shocked and enraged, at this critical moment Zhou Tianci decided to risk a mutual-destruction gambit to force Chu Fan back!

As the Ghost-faced Man’s saber came chopping down, he made no move to block. Instead, with a flick of his wrist, he thrust his longsword straight for Chu Fan’s heart!

CLANG!

SQUELCH!

Zhou Tianci felt his sword strike armor!

But Chu Fan’s Long Saber had already slashed down, leaving a gash on his body—

It ran diagonally from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, so deep the bone was visible!

Zhou Tianci let out a miserable howl and fell to his knees!

Chu Fan pressed his Long Saber to Zhou Tianci’s throat, his voice as cold as ancient glaciers. "The Seven Stars Gang is using young boys and girls to cultivate Demon Techniques? What stage has Qin Fei reached now?!"

He hadn’t killed Zhou Tianci in one blow precisely because he wanted to extract some useful information.

Zhou Tianci’s face was ashen. The intense pain and fear made him completely break down.

To save his own life, he screamed hoarsely, "Don’t kill me! I’ll talk! It’s... it’s the Gang Leader and several Hall Masters! They’re practicing a Secret Technique that... that requires the Innate Essence Qi of young boys and girls! That Array... that Array can drain life force... I-I haven’t practiced it! I don’t know the details either!"

"I was just following orders, capturing some children to send over..."

"Master Qin is currently using that Array to break through to the Third Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm!"

He was incoherent, but he had spilled all the horrifying secrets of the Seven Stars Gang’s upper echelon.

’Breaking through to the Third Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm... that means he must still be at the Second Heaven.’

Chu Fan’s gaze hardened.

’Qin Fei’s strength seems to be far greater than Duan Tianhong’s!’

Suddenly, Zhou Tianci stared intently at Chu Fan’s neck, a look of disbelief in his eyes. "It’s... it’s you?! You’re Chu Fan!"

"Hm?"

Chu Fan was taken aback for a moment, then asked coldly, "How did you recognize me?"

"It... it really is you? How is this possible!"

Zhou Tianci’s eyes were wide, as if he had seen a ghost.

’A kid who’s only been cultivating for just over three months...’

’...had actually mastered the "Nine Blood Soul Blades" to Perfection and then crushed him—a late-stage Entering the Realm of Strength expert—with a single blow?!’

’How could something like this be possible!’

He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with incredulity and fear. "A mole... on the right side of your neck, near the base of your ear, you have a small black mole... I noticed it the first time I saw you..."

"I’m just someone who remembers little details like that..."

As he said this, he suddenly remembered something and said in a trembling voice, "My nephew, Zhou Ye... you killed him?!"

Chu Fan said flatly, "Yes."

"You!"

Endless venom instantly erupted in Zhou Tianci’s eyes, along with a hint of relief—

as though he had finally found his nemesis.

But Chu Fan gave him no more chance to speak, let alone act. With a slight turn of his wrist, the sharp edge of the saber sliced across his neck.

SQUELCH!

Blood sprayed everywhere. Zhou Tianci’s head tilted to one side, and he collapsed, dead.

Chu Fan searched the corpses for a moment, stuffing the money pouches and other valuables he found into his robes.

After taking a deep breath, he sheathed his Long Saber and returned to the edge of the pit.

Peeking his head over the cliff’s edge, Chu Fan held his breath, his hawk-like gaze sweeping over the entire area below.

In the center of the Array at the bottom of the pit, Cyan Wood Hall’s Hall Master, Qin Fei, sat cross-legged in the middle of a blood-red pattern, a dark red stream of qi slowly circulating around him.

There seemed to be no other members of the Seven Stars Gang nearby.

The children in the cages remained deathly still, as if they had merged with the darkness.

Chu Fan took the longbow from his back. He quietly nocked a Black Kite Arrow—an arrow that was completely black save for the eerie, faint light glinting from its tip.

’Moon Eclipse Arrow!’

His Qi Blood Power surged, and Chu Fan released his fingers.

The instant he let go, he was already grabbing another Black Kite Arrow and drawing his bow once more!

WHOOSH!

The Black Kite Arrow left the string, so fast it tore through the air, heading straight for Qin Fei’s heart!

As the Hall Master of the Seven Stars Gang’s Cyan Wood Hall, Qin Fei’s Cultivation was profound.

An instant before the whistle of the approaching arrow reached him, a premonition of danger struck him, and his eyes flew open!

With a cold snort, he shot to his feet and grabbed forward with his right hand!

CLACK!

Incredibly, he caught the speeding arrow right in his hand!

ARGH!

But the moment he caught the Black Kite Arrow, Qin Fei cried out, his vision turning black.

He dropped the Black Kite Arrow and clutched his head with both hands!

That was the Trait of the "Moon Eclipse Arrow" after Breaking Limit—"Soul Split"!

An invisible wisp of "Soul-splitting Force" had shot straight into his soul the instant he’d caught the Black Kite Arrow! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

WHOOSH!

And in the instant Qin Fei clutched his head, another Black Kite Arrow had already arrived!

’This is bad!’

Still reeling, Qin Fei sensed the danger and threw himself to the right!

PFFT!

But the arrow curved and pierced through his left shoulder!

This was the unimaginable effect of "Pursuit," the Trait gained from Breaking the Limit of the "Hundred-step Piercing Willow Arrow Skill"!

AAAGH!

Qin Fei let out another pained scream.

The pain wasn’t just physical, but also the soul-tearing agony from the "Soul-splitting Force" on the second arrow!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A volley of arrows with crescent-moon fletchings tore through the air!

This time, however, Qin Fei had already recovered his senses.

Crossing his hands, he condensed a blood-red shield in front of him!

Each of Chu Fan’s arrows struck the shield, causing the blood-red barrier to shake violently, but not one could break through!

"You bastard, you’re courting death!"

Following the direction of the arrows, Qin Fei spotted Chu Fan’s figure on the cliff.

He let out a furious roar, and the dark red Primordial Qi around him erupted, burning like bloody flames.

Drawing his sword, he flicked it upwards—

SWISH!

The Black Kite Arrow embedded in his left shoulder was sheared off by his longsword, leaving only a small fragment lodged in the flesh!
