Chapter 4061: Three Kills in a Row

According to Ni Sakong's instructions, Chao Kuan did not act with the other two fellow disciples after entering the Immortal Paradise, but quietly searched for this place following the instructions on the Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip was specially made by Ni Sakong and had an extremely strong sensing ability for the Divine Sense mark he left behind.

He was at the Immortal Emperor Peak, moving extremely fast, and after about half an hour, he felt the Divine Sense mark getting closer and closer, so he slowly reduced his speed.

After walking for a while longer, he saw a Young man sitting on a mountain peak in the distance, who was none other than Ye Bufan.

“Damn it, I’ll send you on your way today!”

A flicker of hatred flashed in Chao Kuan’s eyes; he had an excellent relationship with Gongshu Kan.

Hearing that the latter had died at the hands of this Young man, he had always wanted revenge, and now he had finally found a suitable Opportunity.

Originally, according to his idea, it would have been more satisfying to just rush up and kill the opponent directly.

However, the Sect Master had repeatedly instructed him to take the form of an assassination.

Although he didn't understand the reason, he was an extremely obedient person and had never dared to disobey Ni Sakong's orders, and today was no exception.

Chao Kuan adjusted the Immortal Essence within him, concealed his aura, and slowly approached Ye Bufan's back.

He didn't understand what this Young man was doing; instead of quickly seeking Opportunity after entering the Immortal Paradise, he was sitting here. Was he waiting for him to kill him?

But none of that mattered anymore; he would be a dead man soon, so whatever he did was irrelevant.

As he approached about a hundred zhang behind Ye Bufan, his Immortal Emperor Domain suddenly erupted, pressing down on the opponent firmly.

Then a long sword sliced through the Void Realm, directly stabbing towards the opponent's back.

All of this was done quickly and ruthlessly, pushing his Immortal Emperor Peak strength to the extreme.

The result proved effective; the Young man in front didn't even have time to react before he was pierced through the chest with a single sword.

Although the assassination was successful, Chao Kuan felt no relief in his heart; instead, he was filled with dread.

He hadn't seen any flaws before; this Young man's aura was exactly like Ye Bufan's, and he even carried the Sect Master's Divine Sense mark, so he had no doubts whatsoever.

But the moment the long sword entered the body, the opponent's figure rapidly dissipated, as if he had never appeared, vanishing into the Void Realm.

This was a Clone; he had been tricked!

As an Immortal Emperor Peak who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Chao Kuan immediately realized something was wrong. A Clone carrying the Sect Master's Divine Sense mark—what did that mean? It meant that Ni Sakong's scheme had been seen through by the opponent, and this was a trap.

He understood all of this, but unfortunately, it was too late. At this moment, a sharp sound of air being torn echoed from behind him.

Ye Bufan had been observing the movements here, and the moment Chao Kuan attacked with full force, he also moved.

Since the opponent wanted to assassinate him, he didn't need to be open and honest either. He immediately unleashed the Extinction God Fist, directly smashing it towards the opponent's back.

As an Immortal Emperor Peak-Rank expert, Chao Kuan had experienced countless battles, big and small, in his life, and though startled, he remained calm.

The Immortal Essence within him circulated wildly, and he forcibly shifted ten zhang away, avoiding the punch.

But to his surprise, before he could even stabilize himself, another sharp sound of air being torn echoed from behind him.

That overwhelming pressure, mixed with destructive aura, was exactly the same as the punch from behind him just now.

Ye Bufan had now Broken Through to Immortal Venerable Peak, and his strength was not much inferior to an Immortal Emperor Peak, which was why he didn't use the Sun-Extinguishing Bow but chose to attack directly.

As one punch missed here, the newly manifested Dao Body there had already struck.

The same strength, the same Extinction God Fist, and Chao Kuan could no longer dodge.

In desperation, he could only reluctantly turn around and meet the punch.

If he were at his peak, he might have been able to block this attack, but now his Immortal Essence was mostly depleted, and Ye Bufan had given him no chance to recover his Qi. In this situation, he couldn't even exert half of his usual strength.

The two fists collided, and with a crisp crack, his arm was broken in half. He flew backward, spitting out blood.

But at this moment, it was only the beginning of the nightmare. After flying out a dozen zhang, another Dao Body appeared behind him, also unleashing the Extinction God Fist with full force.

Chao Kuan was filled with vexation at this moment. He had been the one trying to ambush others, but he ended up becoming the prey, being ambushed from behind repeatedly.

But there was nothing he could do. The opponent was not only powerful but also meticulous in his planning, calculating everything to the extreme, leaving him powerless to resist.

“Bang!”

Even with Chao Kuan's formidable strength, he could not withstand the triple kill after a failed sneak attack. Unable to dodge any longer, he was hit squarely in the back by this punch, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

A wisp of Primordial Spirit overflowed, and before it could escape, it was collected into the Demon Refining Bottle.

Until his death, Chao Kuan was filled with vexation, a dignified Immortal Emperor Peak, falling here so inexplicably.

While he was vexed, Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying beside him watched with faces full of shock.

They had participated in the Dan Wang Competition and naturally recognized Chao Kuan's identity. They never expected that an Immortal Emperor Peak expert from Lingxiao Sect would be so easily killed here!

Ye Bufan reached out and grabbed the opponent's ring, then threw out a ball of flame, completely erasing the traces.

After he finished all this, Hua Qiqi and the other woman walked out, and Xia Qingying asked, “Young Master Ye, what exactly happened?”

“It's all that Old thing, Ni Sakong, who put a mark on me…”

Ye Bufan didn't hide anything from the two of them and recounted the entire incident.

“This… Young Master Ye, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for causing you trouble.”

Hua Qiqi was filled with guilt; if it weren't for her, Ye Bufan wouldn't have become enemies with Lingxiao Sect.

“It’s nothing, just a small trouble, and besides, I didn't suffer any loss.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly and patted her shoulder, “But from now on, we have to separate. You and Fairy Xia should go together; it’s really too dangerous to be with me.”

This was something he had just thought of. Outside, Ni Sakong couldn't help but scheme against him, let alone Xuanji Emperor in the Immortal Paradise, and Xie Hongying, whose depth was unknown.

Originally, with his increased strength, he wanted to look after the two of them, but now it seemed being by his side was actually dangerous.

Once they encountered an expert of Xuanji Emperor's Rank, he wouldn't even be able to take care of the two of them.

If he wasn't there, their identities would make them much safer.

“Alright then, you must be careful.”

Hua Qiqi was not one to drag things out; she had witnessed the big battle just now.

If Ye Bufan's counter-attack failed, he could escape alone, but if he brought himself and Xia Qingying, they would become a burden.

Xia Qingying was also like this. Although her Mental Energy had led to a Breakthrough in cultivation after taking the condensing spirit fruit, she was now at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage.

However, compared to those veteran Immortal Emperor experts, her strength was still much weaker.

She didn't say much and left with Hua Qiqi.

Watching the two figures slowly disappear, Ye Bufan also prepared to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a figure standing behind him.
