If the person beside him wasn't Xu Ruxue, then Zen Master Tianhe's words must have been a trap.

He would not hesitate to sacrifice the other person in exchange for his own chance to live.

But she happens to be Xu Ruxue, the former sect leader of the Ziyang Immortal Sect, and now the maid of the Supreme Lord of the Upper Realm.

Zen Master Tianhe dared not let her die.

If he were to do that, even if he survived, he would either face death or a fate worse than death.

If one cannot be invincible in this life, one will eventually become cannon fodder.

Zen Master Tianhe swallowed his last bit of bitterness, and instead, he became full of energy and spirit.

No matter what, he is a top expert in this world.

Having survived that brutal war three thousand years ago, his reputation is certainly not undeserved.

He looked at Li Fan and clasped his hands together.

The Buddha's light behind him completely disappeared into his body.

Li Fan's knife fell heavily.

With a crisp crack, Zen Master Tianhe's body shattered as easily as porcelain.

Endless light emanated from his body.

"Throughout thousands of years, apart from that person, only you have made this old monk feel despair."

It is my misfortune to be your enemy.

But at the same time, it is also my good fortune.

To die at the hands of a monster like you would be a life well-lived.

Of course, it would be even better if you could die too!

The lingering sound of the heavenly harmony echoed as Li Fan was engulfed by the terrifying light.

Even Xu Ruxue, who had gone far away earlier, was now in a huge crisis.

......

Rumble!

At the epicenter of the explosion, energy was released.

The void, which was gradually closing in, was torn apart once again by this force.

escape!

escape!

escape!

At this moment of turmoil, only one thought occupied my mind.

Not only him, but Ye Gu and the others who were originally guarding the perimeter also retreated one after another.

Anyone caught up in it will be severely injured, if not killed.

......

Deep within the imperial tomb, the seal has been lifted.

The stone platform crashed into the ground, and Zhou Wu and his two companions had just emerged when they were met with a terrifying explosion.

"Holy crap!"

Zhang San couldn't help but swear.

He thought it was the so-called lord who couldn't hold on, but he didn't expect this old cunning guy to pull this trick.

Is this something a human being would do?

In all my years, I have never seen such magnificent fireworks.

No wonder that kid Shoucheng saw me facing a calamity; it turns out it was here!

run!

Zhang San didn't even look back; he transformed into lightning and fled.

His speed was incredible; it wasn't until he had run dozens of miles away that Mr. Zhou Wu and Mr. Zhou Wu reacted.

Although only a breath had passed, the two had no chance to escape.

Zhou Wu's blood and energy surged, his entire body stood firm in the void, and his fists pounded like drumsticks, splitting apart the surging tide of energy.

He was like a reef in the sea, striving not to be swallowed up.

The gentleman stood behind him, using his righteous spirit to mend and plug the leak.

With the two working together, they managed to block the energy tide.

......

They escaped!

As the dazzling light around her was swallowed by darkness, Xu Ruxue almost jumped up in excitement.

Never before had she longed for emptiness as much as she did now.

That clever black gave her a feeling of being reborn.

But the next second, a figure wreathed in lightning burst forth from the void.

Old Celestial Master?

Why did he come out?

Didn't the Lord trap her?

Xu Ruxue's mind went blank. Zhang San didn't think for a second and directly rode his mighty thunder to attack.

Now that violence has begun, there's no point in talking about peace anymore.

Either exterminate the entire Immortal Sect, or his death will lead to the destruction of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"Zhang San, do you dare to be an enemy of my Ziyang Immortal Sect?"

Xu Ruxue blocked the power of the lightning in a very disheveled state, and then roared like a madman.

If she were at her peak, she wouldn't need to waste words.

Even if he couldn't beat Zhang San, escaping would be a piece of cake.

But now, almost all of her magical artifacts are destroyed, and her magical power is less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak.

How could she possibly handle Zhang San?

Zhang San ignored Xu Ruxue and directly used his strongest method.

The thunder dragon roared, engulfing Xu Ruxue.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xu Ruxue was reduced to ashes.

Zhang San didn't leave immediately after finishing the fight; he wanted to see who had caused such a commotion.

During the explosion, the energy gradually weakened.

As Zhang San slowly approached, a dark shadow burst forth from the energy.

The person at the very front was none other than Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu was followed by a man, who was carrying a skull.

"Holy crap, what the hell are you carrying?!"

Zhang and the other two were dumbfounded.

While it's supposed to be a person, the thing on its head certainly doesn't look like one.

While not human, it still has a human-like appearance.

The closer you look, the more familiar it feels.

But looking back on my entire life, I don't know any monsters!

There's no such person among the demonic beasts!

"Master...it's me, Li Fan!"

The sound of true energy rubbing together could be heard coming from within the skeleton.

"Holy crap! I was wondering why this looked so familiar, it's you!"

It's only been a short time since I last saw you, and you've changed so much you don't even look human anymore.

That's strange, how did you get in here?

That shouldn't be happening!

What are Ye Gu and Yang Dong up to?

A series of questions arose, and Zhang San quickly flew to Li Fan's side.

"What are you all standing there for? Give me my apprentice!"

Seeing that the gentleman did not move, Zhang San reached out and pulled Li Fan over.

"Ahem... Master, um... uh... I can stand up by myself!"

Li Fan scratched his skull and said somewhat awkwardly.

It wasn't because he became stronger and looked down on Zhang San; it was simply that Zhang San's lifting technique was rather poor.

Whether for convenience or to save trouble, Zhang San directly stuck his finger into Li Fan's eye socket.

Although empty eye sockets don't feel like much, it's not quite the same thing after all.

"You brat, you think you're all grown up now? Trying to act tough in front of your master?"

Let me tell you, with your mediocre skills, you need to practice more.

Even the aftershocks of a battle between top-tier experts can injure you like this; you're still very inexperienced!

However, even so, the person who made the move went too far.

Whoever he is, watch as Master gets justice for you!

Zhang San rattled off to himself, and Li Fan neither wanted to refute him nor interrupt him.

Having a master is really great!

As for Ye Gu and the others who surrounded them, it was wise of them to remain silent.

After all, this senior in front of him had just been incredibly fierce, and he would be struck by lightning if he said something wrong.

"Ahem, senior, maybe we should just forget about it!"

The gentleman offered his advice tactfully.

Although it's unbelievable, there's only one possibility that Li Fan was able to appear at the epicenter of the explosion: he was the one who caused it!

This young man might already be invincible in the top tier.

Even the Old Celestial Master might not be his match!

"Forget it? Impossible, I, a dignified..."

"Ahem, Master, I was the one who caused the commotion just now."

Xu Ruxue seems to have escaped, but I've killed Zen Master Tianhe!

Li Fan whispered a reminder.

"Xu Ruxue can't escape? Master killed him."

As for the fact that you killed Zen Master Tianhe... etc...

What the hell are you talking about?

Zhang San had no idea how many swear words he had used.
