Chapter 193: Fang Yuan Arrives
Boom boom boom!
Intense explosions resounded. Mortal killer moves were unleashed endlessly, two figures were clashing continuously as they fought.
One was Ye Fan and the other was Tie Ruo Nan.
These two were fighting like two geniuses competing, huge commotions were created, the backlash of their attacks created a large area that would injure ordinary Gu Masters if they went into the range of their attacks, everyone had to evade them.
The Gu Masters from all three clans were stunned from seeing their fight.
At the same time, in the sky above the battlefield where mortal Gu Masters could not detect, three Southern Border Gu Immortals placed their gazes on Tie Ruo Nan's and Ye Fan's fight.
They were from Shang clan, Hou clan, and Tie clan, the three immortals were sitting on a white cloud, there was a round table in front of them as fragrant tea was placed before them.
The immortal from Shang clan, Shang Qing Qing, smiled from the seat to the left: "Congratulations Lord Tie Mian Shen, you found a good inheritor for your Iron Mask true inheritance."
Tie clan's Tie Mian Shen was sitting at the center.
He wore a martial uniform and his chest and legs were covered in armor, there was a thick iron mask on his face.
Among the three Gu Immortals present, the Gu Immortals from Hou clan and Shang clan were only rank six, as the only one with rank seven cultivation level, Tie Mian Shen sat at the center.
When they conversed, Shang Qing Qing and the Hou clan Gu Immortal also spoke respectfully to Tie Mian Shen.
Tie Mian Shen nodded slightly: "Shang clan's fairy is right, this is my true inheritance's successor. But she is still young, she needs to be trained."
Smoke and dust rumbled as Ye Fan took a step back, he breathed in deeply as his chest inflated and bulged.
Tie Ruo Nan pounced like an eagle from behind him, her fingers were extended like claws.
Ye Fan turned around and spat out a bright red arrow towards Tie Ruo Nan's face.
Tie Ruo Nan was not panicking, her eyes shined brightly as she leaned backwards, evading like an elegant crane, dodging the red arrow.
But at this time, Ye Fan had already found his opportunity, he pushed forward with both hands and pounced.
Tie Ruo Nan grunted as she raised her fists, facing the attack.
Boom!
A loud sound resounded as fist and palm collided, erupting with white light.
Both sides collided intensely before retreating backwards rapidly. After ten or so steps, they stabilized their footing and looked at each other while panting roughly.
At this moment, they both had solemn expressions as they treated the other party as their biggest rival, they did not dare to be careless.
Ye Fan looked around as he spoke: "Tie Ruo Nan, if you can handle this move, I will admit defeat!"
Tie Ruo Nan's gaze focused as she nodded, agreeing: "Okay."
Ye Fan breathed in deeply and started to activate his killer move.
Mortal killer move — Aurora Bird!
Chirp chirp!
Sounds of anxious bird chirping could be heard.
Light flowed like water on Ye Fan's body, these rainbow lights rumbled and gathered on his forearms and right palm.
The aurora lights acted on their own, they chirped as they transformed into the shape of a small sparrow.
The aurora bird gathered energy and had a powerful aura, Tie Ruo Nan had a grim expression, black smoke was emerging from her body. The black smoke gathered on her face and slowly turned into a thin black iron mask.
Mortal killer move — Iron Mask Equipment!
"Go." Ye Fan called out as the rainbow light on his right arm seemingly gained life at this instant, leaving his body and flying into the sky, turning into a rainbow bird.
The bird flapped its wings as the aurora bird charged forward at an extreme speed.
"Come." Tie Ruo Nan called out too as she charged forward instead of staying back.
At the next moment, she collided into the aurora bird.
The aurora bird crashed onto Tie Ruo Nan and turned back into a lump of aurora light, enveloping Tie Ruo Nan.
Black smoke emerged from Tie Ruo Nan's body as it defended against the corrosion of the aurora light.
Both sides were stuck in a deadlock, unable to decide the victor.
"Your Shang clan's Gu Immortal seed is also quite good." Tie Mian Shen praised.
Shang Qing Qing smiled: "It is a shame, he is an external seed."
Tie Mian Shen nodded: "I see that this killer move he had is innovative, it is likely his own creation. To be able to create his own style at this age, he far surpasses ordinary geniuses."
Hou Yao watched with envy by the side, sighing: "Such seeds are all future pillars for the clan."
Shang Qing Qing was humble but she felt very suspicious. She had given guidance to Ye Fan before, but he did not display such talent back then.
"My Shang clan has an arena system, thus Tie Mian Shen and Hou Yao thought that he is an external Gu Immortal seed that we recruited, but that is not the case."
"Ye Fan displayed such talent, he must have had some fortuitous encounters recently. Of course, he created his own killer move, such talent cannot be underestimated. He really is qualified to become part of our clan."
"If we can investigate and find that his origins are not suspicious, we will recruit him. Right, he seems to like Shang Xin Ci, we can make use of that. If he can become a Gu Immortal, so what if we have to give him Shang Xin Ci? This would be a beautiful story in the future as well."
Shang Qing Qing thought and made her plans, while at the same time, two Gu Immortals were conversing and plotting at a lake near the mountain.
These two Gu Immortals were concealing their traces, they had prepared for this long ago.
Among them, one of the Gu Immortals was a weak looking young man, he was called Yi Yu, he had a worried expression: "Will our actions really not alert those three Gu Immortals?"
"No." His companion Yi Nan Men answered with certainty: "If not for my unique investigative killer move, I would not have found an ancient water monster under this smoky warm jade field! Our Yi clan is most skilled at water path, it is hard for these three Gu Immortals to find out."
"And currently, we are not acting directly, we are luring this slumbering ancient water monster to wake up and rampage."
Saying so, Yi Nan Men's words shifted: "Of course, Gu Immortals have all sorts of methods, I cannot guarantee that they will not find out. But even if they find out and expose us, we can explain ourselves too, after all, Yi clan is also a super force, they might be suspicious, but they would not fight to the death with us."
"If they do not discover anything, hehe, when the water monster rampages, they will definitely suppress it. By then, you can act and kill one of them to make the three clans suspicious of each other and fight!"
Yi Nan Men had rank seven cultivation level, while Yi Yu was only rank six, in their plan, Yi Yu was the one executing the assassination, he must have some unique method.
The weak looking young man Yi Yu had a worried expression: "I am not familiar with that move yet, what if the activation fails? What if they find out when I use it?"
Yi Nan Men had a solemn expression: "That is the worst possible scenario, if they find out, I will use my life to stall them and let you escape. I will not admit I am a Gu Immortal from Yi clan even if I die, you must do the same."
"Mm!" This time, Yi Yu no longer had a worried expression, he was filled with solemnness and determination.
Yi Nan Men breathed in deeply: "I am going to make a move."
He activated an immortal killer move with deeply concealed aura, there was not a hint of commotion from it, Yi Yu became more assured.
At the next moment, water ripples appeared deep underground, a slumbering water monster had been rudely awakened!
On the surface, Ye Fan and Tie Ruo Nan were still about to decide the winner when the ground shook.
Puff puff puff!
Gushes of water rushed out of the black soil on the ground and penetrated the battlefield, destroying the Gu formation that Shang clan had painstakingly created.
Dozens of huge water pillars that were tens of feet high appeared in smoky warm jade field.
Those unlucky Gu Masters who were hit by the water pillars were quickly reduced to piles of mushy flesh.
"What is going on?" The three Gu Immortals above the clouds were about to respond when these water pillars gathered into one and turned into an ancient water monster that had a fish body, frog legs, and tiger head!
The water monster roared and pounced at the mortals.
Its huge frog legs landed on the ground as a vast amount of water gushed out.
But the three immortals acted in time, three shields of light defended their respective clansmen.
"So this smoky warm jade field has an underground frost heart lake, there was an ancient water monster inside it." Hou Yao had a solemn expression.
Shang Qing Qing gritted her teeth, looking at Tie Mian Shen: "I hope Lord Tie Mian Shen can take the lead, we will assist you to take down the ancient water monster, preventing it from rampaging and destroying the smoky warm jade field."
Tie Mian Shen nodded, he was about to fly down when suddenly, a sharp eagle cry resounded in everyone's ears.
At the next moment, everyone became shocked, the tiny eagle beside Ye Fan expanded rapidly and turned into a huge eagle!
Upper extreme heavenly eagle!
The huge eagle shrieked as it pounced at the ancient water monster.
Sensing the upper extreme heavenly eagle's imposing aura, the ancient water monster backed off and turned into water, flowing out of the cave and escaping.
After the ancient water monster left, Ye Fan became safe again, the upper extreme heavenly eagle's seal activated as it turned back into a tiny eagle, a formless force made it return to Ye Fan again.
Silence was around Ye Fan, countless Gu Masters looked at him with a shocked expression.
"Young… young master Ye, what is this eagle exactly…" Xiao Die was tongue-tied, she was completely stunned.
Ye Fan rubbed his nose: "If I say that this is the first time I've seen this eagle's power, would you believe me?"
"Immemorial desolate beast!! Be it the three Gu Immortals in the clouds or the two Yi clan Gu Immortals hiding under the lake, they were completely lost for words.
"Why did this happen?" Those two Yi clan Gu Immortals only wanted to release the ancient water monster, they did not expect an immemorial desolate beast to appear.
"This is a good thing, we do not need to do anything. That immemorial desolate beast can kill these three immortals!" Yi Yu said.
Yi Nan Men had a grim expression: "Things are not so simple, can't you see? That immemorial desolate beast is raised by someone, it is the pet of that young man who was fighting earlier!"
"Shang clan's fairy, what is going on, this immemorial desolate beast is?" Tie Mian Shen's gaze was bright like lightning, he turned around and questioned Shang Qing Qing.
Shang Qing Qing only had rank six cultivation level, she had to say: "I am not sure, it must be the young man's fortuitous encounter."
"What sort of fortuitous encounter can make a mortal raise an immemorial desolate beast as a pet?" Hou Yao exclaimed in a tone of shock and disbelief.
Tie Mian Shen smiled coldly: "This matter is too important, we cannot ignore it. Smoky warm jade field is no longer important in comparison!
This young man must have obtained an immortal true inheritance, but our Southern Border righteous path has never had such a method to allow a mere mortal to raise an immemorial desolate beast, I need to investigate this and prevent the demonic path from rising again!"
Shang Qing Qing was furious but helpless, she smiled bitterly: "I am sure Lord Tie Mian Shen will investigate this matter and uphold justice."
"Eagle, eagle, so you are this amazing!" Ye Fan sighed continuously, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the upper extreme heavenly eagle's head.
The upper extreme heavenly eagle had struggled and attempted to break free but it could do nothing against the seal, after a long time, it gave up. It returned to Ye Fan's shoulder and felt angry, but hearing his words, it showed a prideful expression, seeing Ye Fan's hand, it stretched out its wing and slapped it away.
Ye Fan smiled bitterly.
Xiao Die watched with bulging eyes: "This eagle is so arrogant, but with that strength, the arrogance suits it. Young master Ye, you…"
Before she finished, Shang Xin Ci interrupted: "Xiao Die, this is young master Ye Fan's secret, stop asking him."
"No worry, no worry, this eagle was captured by my master." Ye Fan saw that this was exposed and did not want to lie to Shang Xin Ci.
"Your master could subdue such an eagle?!" Xiao Die screeched.
While they were speaking, the upper extreme heavenly eagle suddenly showed great fright and became restless on Ye Fan's shoulder, it was like a rat seeing a cat, or a sheep seeing a wolf.
"What happened?" Xiao Die and the rest were surprised, this arrogant eagle actually acted like this, it was a huge contrast to their impression of it.
"I don't know!" Ye Fan shouted: "This is the first time I've seen the eagle act so flustered."
The upper extreme heavenly eagle did not move from Ye Fan's shoulder, but it shrieked at one direction. Its voice was no longer imposing as before, it was filled with fright and even had a begging tone, one could easily tell that fear was in its eyes, and even a trace of anger.
"What is going on?" At once, be it the mortal Gu Masters or Gu Immortals, they looked towards the direction that upper extreme heavenly eagle was crying out at.
Next, everyone saw a figure flying in the sky, moving like a sword piercing the air.
"It seems like a person?"
"Immortal?!"
"Who is it?"
"This aura, it is not an ordinary immortal…"
The Gu Immortals were alerted and felt great surprise.
The figure stopped in the air as everyone saw this Gu Immortal.
All of the mortal Gu Masters looked up towards him.
In pure silence.
Before they heard him speak in a plain tone: "My bird, so you are here."
