Chapter 853: 独战浊阴

At this moment, with a thunderous boom, Reverend Evil Eye let out a pained groan. Clearly, he had been injured by the talisman arrow. Having been injured twice, he could no longer hold the upper hand.

From a distance, he shouted, "Turbid Yin, finish this quickly!"

Turbid Yin, stirring up turbulent waters, had already reached Jiang Fan and the West Sea Crown Prince. "You two dogs, prepare to die!"

Jiang Fan said helplessly, "West Sea Crown Prince, aren't you going to show your true capabilities? It's all your fault for messing with someone's concubine, drawing so much anger."

The West Sea Crown Prince instantly looked sheepish. Indeed, he was the one who had provoked this anger.

But to their surprise, Turbid Yin exploded in rage upon hearing this. "You little bastard, Jiang! How dare you speak about others? Did you enjoy stripping my wife? Did you enjoy fondling my wife's breasts? I'll hack you into a thousand pieces and grind your bones to dust!!!"

The West Sea Crown Prince felt as if struck by lightning! He looked at the stunning Demon Empress Old Dream in the distance, with her extraordinary figure and widespread reputation. Then he looked at the seemingly upright Jiang Fan beside him. He instantly felt like cursing aloud. "Damn it! You actually charmed the South Sea Demon Empress!"

"I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing! Jiang Fan, you truly deserve to die!" His eyes reddened with jealousy. He immediately lost all desire to help Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan reaped all the benefits, and now he had to help him bear the trouble. What a complete fool he was!

Jiang Fan's face flushed as he said, "Enough talk!" Immediately, lightning surged within him.

Turbid Yin scoffed, "You pretty boy, merely at the Core Formation stage, and you dare to attack this Demon Emperor? Overestimating yourself!" With a casual wave of his hand, an incomparably powerful water blade shot out, striking towards Jiang Fan from a distance! This was the only aspect of his abilities that met the Demon Emperor standard. Although he lacked sufficient Demon Emperor power, and his physique and soul hadn't reached that level, this strike still surpassed a cultivator at the perfected ninth layer of Core Formation!

The West Sea Crown Prince's scalp tingled with dread. How could he possibly handle this? He hastily unleashed one of his innate abilities and quickly dodged.

Jiang Fan's eyes gleamed as he roared, "Six Heavenly Thunder Divisions: Indestructible Blade!" A powerful eight-hundred-zhang lightning blade instantly descended from the sky, slashing down fiercely and clashing head-on with the water blade.

Boom—

A violent muffled roar instantly erupted from the seabed. The lightning blade shattered, transforming into arcs of lightning that struck Turbid Yin, leaving him covered in scorch marks. The water blade also splintered and scattered. Many fragments flew towards Jiang Fan. But Jiang Fan was prepared and took out the Sky-Gazing Treasure Mirror. All the remaining water blades were bounced back, causing him no harm. They merely caused him to stagger back a few steps.

Turbid Yin touched the scorch marks on his face, his expression one of disbelief: "You actually blocked my attack?" He could hardly believe that Jiang Fan was only at the eighth layer of Core Formation. If he broke through to the perfected ninth layer of Core Formation, wouldn't he be able to defeat him, a deviant Nascent Soul cultivator? But he also discerned something, and snorted, "That strike exhausted your lightning power. I'd like to see how many more hits you can take from me?" He unleashed another incomparably powerful water blade.

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth. "Divine Lord of the Vast!" Golden lines converged behind him, forming a majestic and extraordinary divine statue. Six arms, along with Jiang Fan, simultaneously punched out. Six golden fist winds pierced through the water current, shattering the water blade. Both were sent staggering backward. This was unacceptable to Turbid Yin. The pretty boy he had always looked down upon... actually managed to fight him to a standstill?

"I don't believe it!!" Turbid Yin, as if greatly provoked, attacked wildly.

Jiang Fan, meanwhile, continuously unleashed divine statues. Under the protection of the Sky-Gazing Treasure Mirror, Jiang Fan was surprisingly evenly matched with Turbid Yin for a time. The West Sea Crown Prince watched from a distance, frequently gasping in disbelief. "Holy cow! No wonder he dared to flirt with someone's wife. He actually has the ability to not fear Turbid Yin!"

In the distance, Reverend Evil Eye, seeing that Turbid Yin was actually entangled by Jiang Fan, cursed furiously: "What a useless fellow! He can't even handle a Core Formation cultivator!" The Demon Empress Old Dream's beautiful eyes, however, sparkled with delight and surprise. She was very aware of Turbid Yin's strength. He was by no means useless. Unless it was another deviant Nascent Soul cultivator, no one at the perfected ninth layer of Core Formation could be his match. She never would have thought Jiang Fan had kept his true capabilities hidden, yet his first move was astonishing!

What pleased her even more was that turbulent currents surged in the distance, and the powerful aura of the West Sea Demon Emperor was rapidly approaching. Sensing his arrival, Reverend Evil Eye's face changed drastically; how could he dare to continue fighting? After exchanging a few powerful blows, he tried to shake off the Demon Empress Old Dream and escape. Turbid Yin also sensed the West Sea Demon Emperor's aura, and his face changed. He shot Jiang Fan an extremely unwilling glare and said grimly, "Consider yourself lucky!"

He decisively retreated and fled. Seeing him run, Reverend Evil Eye cursed, then forcefully repelled the Demon Empress Old Dream and turned to flee. The Demon Empress Old Dream wanted to pursue, but felt somewhat powerless. Jiang Fan, having freed his hands, saw this situation and knew he couldn't let Reverend Evil Eye escape. He glanced at the Infinite Ring on his hand, which now held little green energy. Gritting his teeth, he immediately activated it. Instantly, Reverend Evil Eye suddenly encountered an irresistible, strange force. With a crash, he was slammed hard onto the ground.

The Demon Empress Old Dream was startled, then understood that Jiang Fan had used that miraculous ring again. How could she let go of this opportunity? She clasped her hands together and brought them down in a fierce slash. A terrifying spatial blade instantly cut towards him. Reverend Evil Eye's face turned pale with fright. At this critical juncture, he decisively used a life-saving escape art. A bloody light immediately enveloped him, teleporting him away. But it was still a step too late. A desolate, pained shriek was heard. He was gone, but an arm, neatly severed, remained there, gushing blood.

However, his luck seemed to be rather poor. At the edge of their sight, violent fluctuations erupted once more. It turned out he had run into the West Sea Demon Emperor! The Demon Empress Old Dream and the others immediately rushed over. When they arrived, they indeed saw the West Sea Demon Emperor. The surrounding area was stained with blood, but Reverend Evil Eye was nowhere to be seen.

"This fellow used a method of burning a large amount of vital essence and blood to escape," the bald West Sea Demon Emperor said, looking at an eyeball with two pupils held between his two fingers. "It's truly difficult to keep him here." Although Reverend Evil Eye had escaped, he had still had an eyeball forcibly gouged out by the West Sea Demon Emperor. This time, he lost an arm, an eyeball, and twice expended a large amount of vital essence and blood. He was truly severely weakened. All the resources he had tricked out of the South Sea over the years had been completely wasted.

"Father!" the West Sea Crown Prince exclaimed, running over excitedly. The West Sea Demon Emperor glared at him, then cupped his hands to the Demon Empress Old Dream: "Thank you, Demon Empress Old Dream, for saving my son."

The Demon Empress Old Dream shrugged her severely injured right shoulder and gave a wry smile: "I could barely take care of myself; how could I have any strength left? If you want to thank someone, thank my brother Fan. If it weren't for his repeated interventions, our situation would have been dire."

"Brother Fan?" The West Sea Demon Emperor looked at Jiang Fan beside the Demon Empress Old Dream, his brows instantly rising in surprise, exclaiming, "Jiang Fan? Why are you here too? Didn't you go to the East Sea?"
