Chapter 161: Surprise Attack, Xuandan Realm

Xiao Fan and the other two had grim expressions; originally, their plan was to lie in ambush in the dense forest outside the city.

Based on their investigation over the past few days, they discovered that most of The Dried Corpse were found on this stretch of wasteland.

When discovered, most had been exposed to the scorching sun, and there were no injuries on their bodies; it could only be determined that all the blood in their bodies was gone.

Therefore, they suspected it was the work of someone who Cultivate evil arts.

Thus, based on their analysis, Zhao Chunyang, the City Lord of Xiluo City, was the most likely culprit.

However, the three of them were very clear that even together, they were absolutely no match for him, so they intended to hide in the shadows, silently lurking and investigating without revealing themselves.

If they discovered it was him, they could not alert the enemy and must quietly return to Jixian Sect to request reinforcements…

After all, their mission this time did not require them to kill the culprit; discovering the clues was enough to complete it.

The three were extremely cautious. With their current strength, if they intentionally hid themselves and held their breath…

Under circumstances where he wasn't intentionally searching, it was highly likely that even an injured Xuandan Realm Cultivator would be unable to detect them.

Furthermore, Xiao Fan had made an assessment of Zhao Chunyang's cultivation; even if the opponent were uninjured, he would only be at the Early Stage of the Xuandan Realm.

Otherwise, with his own Huaqi Realm Eighth Layer cultivation, even if the opponent were injured, he would not have been able to detect any fluctuation in Aura…

However, this entire plan was ruined by Nangong Lingxuan's loose lips…

"Young friends, I know you are here. Come out; I think we can talk."

Zhao Chunyang revealed a friendly smile, looking like a completely different person from the bloodthirsty appearance he had just moments ago.

"Young friends, what you are doing is not right… If you had come to my City Lord's Mansion, I would have hosted you well, and when you left, I would have even given each of you Spirit Stone as a reward. But what about you?"

"Not only did you not leave obediently, you are here secretly lurking. Do you not trust me?"

Zhao Chunyang's voice began to turn cold and somewhat grating…

Even as foolish as Nangong Lingxuan was, she knew that she could not show herself now.

Needless to say, Xiao Fan and Chen Feixing felt the same.

If not for that one loose-lipped remark from Nangong Lingxuan, the two of them would never have been discovered…

"Fine, fine, fine. Since you do not wish to appear, then do not blame me."

Zhao Chunyang's eyes turned cold, his Aura surged rapidly, and his face became ferocious and ugly…

The Spiritual Qi he emitted was violently turbulent, not at all like what a human Cultivator should have. He soared into the air, two fireballs appeared in each of his hands, and then he smashed them violently in all directions.

The places struck by the fireballs immediately erupted in violent explosions, displaying astonishing destructive power.

The Spell used by those above the Xuandan Realm were all terrifying in power…

Chen Feixing's expression was grim. He wanted to flee, but how could he escape in front of a Xuandan Realm Cultivator?

Nangong Lingxuan's pretty face was cold. She did not fear death; rather, she felt a bit sorry for the other two.

At this moment, however, Xiao Fan remained motionless, his eyes cold, staring fixedly at the indiscriminately attacking Zhao Chunyang.

Zhao Chunyang's figure floated in mid-air. The sky was dim, and coupled with his severe injuries, he was unable to clearly probe the surrounding situation.

However, besides dealing terrifying destructive power, the fireballs in his hands also served as illumination.

In his view, three Cultivator who had not even reached the Tongtian Realm were merely ants.

Beings that could be extinguished with a mere wave of his hand.

Zhao Chunyang threw the fireballs in his hands one after another; before long, the surroundings were illuminated by the firelight.

At this moment, a human figure vaguely appeared within the thicket…

"Haha… Found you, you little beast."

In mid-air, Zhao Chunyang revealed a ferocious, wild laugh, and then charged directly toward this figure.

This figure was none other than Xiao Fan…

Nangong Lingxuan and Chen Feixing both secretly thought, "Not good." However, they were momentarily flustered and did not know what to do.

Could the three of them together defeat a Xuandan Realm Cultivator?

Obviously not.

Even if the opponent was severely injured, it was the same; this was a fundamental gap.

Zhao Chunyang's speed was like the wind; in the blink of an eye, he arrived before Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's eyes were cold and sharp, staring fixedly at the opponent, his right hand kept behind his back…

A golden light shone, blocked by his body; Xiao Fan was continuously pouring Spiritual Qi into the Six Harmonies Slash palm imprint.

"Little beast, go to hell!"

Zhao Chunyang arrived before Xiao Fan, raised his right hand, and swung it violently toward the top of Xiao Fan's head.

Although aiming for the top of the head, it could be seen that he was not using his full strength, and the Aura produced was not that great.

He wanted to knock Xiao Fan unconscious and then drain the blood from his body.

And just as his palm was about to land half an inch from Xiao Fan's skull…

Xiao Fan's figure suddenly vanished…

"What?"

Zhao Chunyang was stunned. A Huaqi Realm Cultivator could actually disappear right under his nose?

However, before he could finish thinking about this, Xiao Fan's figure appeared behind him, his right hand glowing with intense golden light as the Six Harmonies Slash palm imprint thrust straight into Zhao Chunyang's chest!

"Die!"

Xiao Fan shouted fiercely. This strike was infused with most of his Spiritual Qi, Shadow Shifting combined with Six Harmonies Slash!

It was his strongest attack method at the moment.

In order to create this opportunity, he was willing to expose himself, letting the opponent discover him first.

The purpose was to heavily injure the opponent in one strike, so that they would have a hope of escaping!

The opponent was an injured Xuandan Realm Cultivator; if he was hit by a Six Harmonies Slash, he did not believe the opponent would be unscathed.

"Boom"

"Pfft"

Xiao Fan's golden palm imprint thrust straight into the opponent's heart…

Zhao Chunyang's expression changed wildly, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. He turned his head ferociously to see Xiao Fan's palm embedded in his own chest.

"Ah!!!"

He roared in rage and slapped toward Xiao Fan with everything he had! The surrounding Void Realm was twisted and shaken…

However, at this moment, just as the palm was about to land on Xiao Fan's head, Xiao Fan's figure disappeared once again.

Reappearing in the dense forest ten meters away, he panted heavily.

All his remaining Spiritual Qi had been used on this Shadow Shifting…
