Chapter 267 Killing Zhang Qianmo

“It’s just…”

Li Fan couldn’t help but frown.

“Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang’s Purple Core state cannot be actively activated?”

Recalling the scene where Zhang Qianmo’s Physical Body was completely destroyed, and then reappeared from the Purple Core.

Li Fan couldn’t help but guess, “Could it be that only by breaking and then establishing can this special state be activated?”

The subsequent battle process seemed to confirm Li Fan’s guess.

Zhong Shentong’s continuous Seven-Colored Divine Light attack lasted for more than twenty days.

The energy stored in Zhang Qianmo’s Purple Core was finally exhausted.

When Zhang Qianmo was disintegrated by thousands of rays of light, there was no longer any scene of Purple Core Rebirth.

“I’ve made a fool of myself!”

A faint smile reappeared on the old Daoist’s face.

He bowed towards the direction where the opponent’s bones were no longer present.

Then his figure gradually faded away.

“So that’s how it’s resolved, it really is…”

Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

He didn’t expect that Zhang Qianmo was actually exhausted to death.

That’s right, in the Purple Core state, Senior Brother Zhang’s Foundation Establishment Cultivation was almost impossible to defeat.

So, as long as he’s not allowed to enter the Purple Core state, it’s fine.

Looking back, the reasoning is simple.

But after Li Fan thought about it carefully, he felt that truly achieving this, while seemingly easy, was actually very difficult.

In his normal state, Zhang Qianmo’s combat power was already at the Peak of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

To suppress him for such a long time, and only injure him without killing him, just to exhaust him.

This was simply not something a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator could do.

Even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator couldn’t easily do this.

Li Fan naturally couldn’t replicate it at the moment.

However, at least he now knew the method to restrain Senior Brother Zhang.

That was one word: “exhaust.”

With a solution, the next steps would be easier.

Li Fan considered his own combat power to be no less than Senior Brother Zhang’s in his regular state.

He only needed to find a way to fight for a long time, and he would be able to exhaust Zhang Qianmo to death in the Fallen Immortal Realm.

The only concern was that each login to the Fallen Immortal Realm had a certain time limit.

However, Li Fan already had a way to deal with this.

It was just that out of caution, he hadn’t implemented it yet.

This was a good Opportunity to see if it was effective.

Before entering the Fallen Immortal Realm again, Li Fan first searched to find out who this Zhong Shentong was.

The result greatly surprised him.

He originally thought this person would be some Prodigy, a cultivation genius with extraordinary Aptitude.

And that his youthful appearance with white hair was just a disguise.

But he didn’t expect that this Zhong Shentong was actually just an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He even had a bit of a late bloomer feel to him.

This person was still just a Mortal until he was over sixty years old.

With white hair and his Lifespan nearing its end, he finally developed the desire to cultivate.

He finally successfully stepped into the Qi Refinement Stage before his life ended.

He lingered in the Qi Refinement Stage for decades.

And then barely stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage just as his Lifespan was about to run out.

Originally, such a person, even if he became a Foundation Establishment cultivator, should have remained unknown.

But it was this person who, not long ago, comprehended his own Natal Divine Ability.

He could summon the Seven-Colored Divine Light to fight enemies.

The light was like a sharp blade, unstoppable.

He could also transform into light and move, his escape speed was extremely fast.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t compare.

It was precisely because of the existence of this Seven-Colored Divine Light that Zhong Shentong’s name gradually became well-known.

“Interesting…”

“According to the current intelligence, this Zhong Shentong should have comprehended this Seven-Colored Divine Light last year, around mid-23.”

“Perhaps there’s an Opportunity to see how he did it.”

No wonder Li Fan had this idea.

After all, Zhong Shentong’s Aptitude was truly not that high.

If there was an Opportunity to seize this Opportunity, Li Fan naturally wouldn’t let it go.

Who made this Seven-Colored Divine Light truly too powerful.

Keeping this matter in mind, Li Fan got down to business.

He searched for methods of prolonged combat.

The results were nothing more than a few types.

First, special Cultivation Techniques; second, special Foundation Establishment rare items.

Third, utilizing some special Magic Treasures.

Fourth, consuming pills.

Li Fan naturally chose the cheapest and most effective solution.

“High Grade Human’s Wonder: Lian Hen Branch.”

Taking the Heaven and Earth Wonder with him, Li Fan quietly left Wanxian Island.

As usual, he found a hidden area deep under the sea, and Li Fan began his secluded cultivation.

First, he absorbed the Lian Hen Branch.

Then 【Huan Zhen】 simultaneously transformed into the appearance of cang hai pearl and Lian Hen Branch.

Li Fan tried out his Spiritual Qi consumption.

To his pleasant surprise, under the combined blessing of these two rare items.

The recovery speed of his Spiritual Qi was frighteningly fast.

It truly felt like the water of the sea and the hatred of man, inexhaustible and endless.

With the capital for a prolonged battle, Li Fan’s heart settled.

After a moment of contemplation, he summoned the Blue Flame Phantom Spirit and entered a state of absolute rationality with no emotional fluctuations.

Then he performed the ritual.

“fusheng xuanhuang heavenly lord!”

After a long time, Li Fan finally entered the Fallen Immortal Realm again.

“Junior Brother? Junior Brother?”

Amidst Zhang Qianmo’s familiar voice, Li Fan opened his eyes.

He met Senior Brother Zhang’s gaze.

Who would have thought that the Senior Brother who was kind and smiling a second ago, would instantly have a solemn expression and murderous intent in his eyes the next second.

However, he didn’t immediately make a move, instead, he flashed and appeared in the distance, locking onto Li Fan from afar.

“You’re not Junior Brother?”

“Evil demon? Heavenly demon? Or…”

In his state of absolute rationality, Li Fan only aimed to achieve his goal.

Without wasting words with Zhang Qianmo, the body belonging to Junior Brother Li Chen instantly dissolved, revealing Li Fan’s original appearance.

Then, the cang hai pearl operated, and the Cong Yun Sword slashed out fiercely.

And Zhang Qianmo, who witnessed this terrifying sight with his own eyes, was also furious.

“Bold demon, how dare you act presumptuously in front of me, Zhang Qianmo of Zixiao Sect!”

Purple Firmament Divine Lightning descended from the sky, about to strike Li Fan.

But it was met with an overturned palm, and the thunder instantly vanished into nothingness.

Before Zhang Qianmo could react, Li Fan’s attacks came like a tide, one after another.

Li Fan precisely controlled the power of each move, maximizing the use of Spiritual Qi while continuously depleting Zhang Qianmo’s strength.

The battle between the two fell into a prolonged stalemate.

The great battle lasted for more than thirty days, destroying countless Mortal villages and cities along the way.

Finally, Zhang Qianmo, one step ahead of Li Fan, reached the point of exhaustion.

He was slain by Li Fan’s sword.

There was no Purple Core Nirvana.

Zhang Qianmo, dead.

Li Fan, narrowly achieved victory in the battle.

Without the restriction of Zhang Qianmo, before he could even explore the surrounding area.

A familiar fluctuation descended.

The duration in the Fallen Immortal Realm had reached its limit.

“It seems that even with the Blue Flame Phantom Spirit, I cannot stay in the Fallen Immortal Realm without limits.”

Li Fan thought this to himself as he returned to the real world.

He withdrew the Blue Flame Phantom Spirit, and a strong sense of fatigue surged into his heart.

More than thirty days of high-intensity combat was also a considerable psychological test.

“Fortunately, this time I gained a lot.”

“I finally dealt with Zhang Qianmo, who had bothered me for a long time. Next time I enter the Fallen Immortal Realm, I shouldn’t still be trapped in Ningyuan City, right?”

“And…”

Li Fan’s expression was subtle as he checked a piece of text that inexplicably appeared in his mind.

This should be what he gained from slaying Zhang Qianmo this time.

Although it wasn’t the complete “Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art,” it was extremely useful to Li Fan.

It compensated for a major weakness of Li Fan.

“Purple Firmament Divine Lightning Escape.”

Like the Purple Firmament Soul Observation Art, it was a secret technique attached to the Purple Firmament Thunder Control True Art.
