Chapter 1369: The Might of Yin and Yang Heaven

Jiang Fan was powerless. Even if he could have helped, he would never have retrieved it for him.

He flashed back behind Deputy Palace Master You and the Bodhisattva, taking shelter. Then he pulled out a wish paper and some Xitu as a precaution.

When Deputy Palace Master You saw the Xitu in Jiang Fan's palm, her aged body trembled. She quickly shifted a few steps aside, fearing Jiang Fan might act rashly and use it on her. Even the Bodhisattva couldn't help but glance at the Xitu, piloting her golden lotus away from Jiang Fan.

In their eyes, Jiang Fan's wish paper combined with the Xitu was more terrifying than a Venerable! At least against a Venerable, they could still exchange blows. But against such a rule-breaking wish paper and Xitu, they were utterly defenseless!

"Ah! You little brat! I won't let you off!" The lightning-winged middle-aged man had now swollen to over three meters tall. His entire body's skin was cracking with dense fissures, like a parched rice field, with blood continuously spurting from them. His face was covered in blood, his eyeballs squeezed out and dangling from their sockets. Blood oozed from his ears, nose, and mouth. His body had clearly reached its critical point and was on the verge of exploding.

Who could believe that just a short while ago, he was a powerful expert at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage, effortlessly crushing the Bodhisattva and Deputy Palace Master You, calmly controlling the entire situation? Even so, his ferocity remained undiminished. Staring furiously at Jiang Fan, he flashed over with a roar, intent on destroying Jiang Fan before he died!

"Stop!" Deputy Palace Master You, having anticipated this, flashed to block in front of Jiang Fan. Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva also led her followers, interposing themselves between the two. Privately, they both wanted to recruit Jiang Fan for their own purposes. Publicly, Jiang Fan's plan to use Xitu to destroy the Giant King was a great service to the Central Plains Realm. How could they stand by and watch Jiang Fan be killed before them?

However, the lightning-winged middle-aged man couldn't care less at this moment. He only wanted to kill Jiang Fan!

"Get lost!" the lightning-winged middle-aged man roared, forcing his attack forward. Left with no choice, Deputy Palace Master You and the Bodhisattva had to successively strike out to resist. As long as they could delay him for a moment, they could wait for the Xitu to explode and kill him.

However, the lightning-winged middle-aged man was, after all, an existence at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage. Previously, he had been wary of the Grand Wine Sacrifice and hadn't used his full power against the two. Now, having gone all out, he displayed overwhelming strength! Swirls of lightning arcs condensed on his body. With a slight shake, these swirls successively burst open, transforming into destructive bolts of lightning. The nine alchemic cauldrons in front of Deputy Palace Master You were all shattered to dust. Her body was scorched black like charcoal, she coughed up mouthfuls of black blood mixed with flesh, and lightning arcs surged through her body, destroying her vitality. Just one contact left her half dead!

The Bodhisattva, while resisting for a while, was still blasted out of her golden lotus by successive explosions, with streaks of golden Buddha blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. The Buddha light around her body dimmed, and the Sanskrit chants surrounding her became almost inaudible.

Breaking through the two, the lightning-winged middle-aged man advanced unopposed, charging towards Jiang Fan who was behind them. How could a junior at the Nascent Soul stage resist someone at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage?

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and shouted, "A centipede, though dead, never topples!" "Still causing trouble even as you die!" Without hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Abyss Heart, unleashing all the lightning power left to him by Venerable Heart Demon at this moment. Simultaneously, the Void Stream Lightning Energy also surged out. "Yin-Yang Heaven!" Suddenly, a series of Tai Chi patterns appeared before him. The patterns, originally only about three meters wide, expanded to thirty meters under the eruption of the Heavenly Abyss Heart. Furthermore, due to the Void Stream Lightning Energy, they contained a hint of blood red within the black and white, making them incredibly tough and reaching an unprecedented level. An enormous spherical Tai Chi diagram protected Jiang Fan at its center.

The lightning-winged middle-aged man approached, enveloped in incredibly powerful lightning arc swirls. Instantly, one Tai Chi pattern burst open, transforming into a reversed arc of light that struck Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan was immediately sent reeling, his blood and qi churning, a jet of blood shooting from his mouth, and his face rapidly turned golden. A single blow left him severely wounded.

Seeing that the lightning-winged middle-aged man was about to break through, the surrounding Tai Chi patterns successively surged over, plugging the gap and continuously contracting. This resulted in two Tai Chi patterns overlapping at every point. When the lightning arc swirls exploded again, although they still blasted the patterns open, they no longer created the destructive power of a reversed arc of light as before. The spherical Tai Chi then contracted again, becoming only three meters in size, with every point now having three Tai Chi patterns overlapping. This was the final defense. Fortunately, when the lightning arc swirls exploded again, they only managed to crack the three overlapping Tai Chi patterns with dense fissures. It had actually succeeded in blocking the explosion of the lightning arc swirls!

Before Jiang Fan could even sigh in relief, seeing his lightning arcs blocked, the lightning-winged middle-aged man roared in fury, "You little brat, go to hell!" He raised his fist, mobilizing all his Spirit Transformation power and his lightning-path divine abilities, and fiercely smashed it towards the Yin-Yang Heaven! This was far more powerful than the attack from the lightning arc swirls! Jiang Fan's heart pounded, sensing a strong aura of death. Even a dying expert at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage was not someone he could contend with!

However, just as this blow was forming, with a bang, his arms exploded! How could his already swollen body withstand the concentration of all its power? "Ah!" the lightning-winged middle-aged man let out a cry of agony! Immediately after, his chest exploded, followed by his neck, and then his head burst into a bloody mist with a bang! After a series of rapid explosions, this peerless mighty expert at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage thus died a gruesome death under a handful of Xitu.

Jiang Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of relief after surviving a catastrophe on his face. He dared not delay. He quickly recalled the Xitu, then dove into the seabed, searching for the Fated Broken Bone and the Luck-Changing Lock that the Two-Star Giant King had thrown into the sea. Then, he decisively activated the Bronze Grasshopper, teleporting five hundred li away and running off without looking back.

The Two-Star Giant King and the lightning-winged middle-aged man were dead. But the Bodhisattva and Deputy Palace Master You were still there! Jiang Fan hadn't forgotten why he was in the North Sea.

"Heh! He certainly ran fast!" Deputy Palace Master You only reacted after a long while, chuckling lightly. She was still immersed in the shock of a mighty expert at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage falling, while Jiang Fan had simply slipped away! The Bodhisattva wiped the Buddha blood from the corner of her mouth, gazing at the corpses of the Giant King and the lightning-winged middle-aged man. A calm smile returned to her face. "As expected of the Buddha Son, he thinks what ordinary people cannot think and does what ordinary people cannot do." "This Venerable will surely guide him!" Having spoken, she returned to her golden lotus, leading her monks in pursuit of Jiang Fan.

Deputy Palace Master You's two disciples, looking rattled, rushed over and asked, "Master, should we still pursue him?" Deputy Palace Master You rolled her eyes at them: "Pursue? Pursue with your lives?" "Your master doesn't want to be fed a handful of Xitu!"

She looked in the direction Jiang Fan had left, feeling as if she were in a dream: "At the seventh level of Nascent Soul, he successively slew a Two-Star Giant King and a great cultivator at the Heavenly-Human Three Decays stage." "Even having witnessed it firsthand, it still feels unreal." "How could I be qualified to teach such a monstrous talent? It's better to just befriend him as a peer. Let's go back to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and leave him some gifts."

She did not notice that the scattered body parts of the lightning-winged middle-aged man in the seawater were slowly converging in a certain direction.
