A crisp sound came from the gray stone door.

The surface covered with waves was pierced by a crack.

Immediately afterwards, the stone gate began to collapse from the crack.

The dust fell in a flurry, leaving a layer of ash on the ground.

He Wu was on the verge of tears and hurriedly protested, "Boss, I swear this has nothing to do with me!"

This is a chaotic and bizarre object, a complete sinkhole.

Even if this incident were reviewed a thousand times, he would still be classified as a suicide spy.

The key point is!

He has no evidence to prove his innocence!

"You dare to speak again? I'll kill you first!"

Chen Kui was furious, and his hand holding the knife was trembling.

Even now, thinking back on it, he feels a chill run down his spine.

The World Honored One is someone that neither he nor Li Fan can contend with!

He and Li Fan almost died here.

He didn't believe that the power of the rules of the Three Domains Blood Arena could restrict a powerhouse like the World Honored One!

Chen Kui even had a strong premonition that not only would he and Li Fan's Five Elements Body die, but any living beings connected to them would be wiped out.

Li Fan reached out and stopped Chen Kui.

But at this moment, he also fell into deep thought.

What exactly is the background of He Wu?

Is what he said really credible?

What just happened was truly beyond Li Fan's expectations.

Besides He Wu, Xue Nu's sudden attack was also unexpected.

A blurry shadow suddenly appeared in Li Fan's line of sight.

A lonely city, a beast's claw.

A silhouette that is awe-inspiring!

That person is definitely not Chen Kui!

If it is Chen Kui, then judging from the knife mark left on the stone wall of Longhu Mountain, the future Chen Kui would be able to break this knife mark.

If it's not Old Chen, then who could it be?

Now that things have come to this point, Li Fan doesn't believe he'll be able to make a close friend like Chen Kui on his next stage of cultivation.

The people who help you are likely those who have been with you along the way.

Who are the swordsmen I've befriended?

Wang Taicang? Long Xiaoyun?

These two guys don't look alike at all!

One should become famous as early as possible, and the same applies to the path of spiritual cultivation.

In the battle of ascending to heaven, I gave them a choice, but in the end only the Emperor and Chen Kui chose to throw themselves into chaos.

Without this opportunity to reach the heavens, is it possible for them to overtake others by taking a shortcut?

Obviously, that's unlikely!

After all, once he entered the Heavenly Palace, Li Fan truly felt the slowdown in his cultivation speed.

This... is even with the Black Dragon Clan providing him with unlimited resources.

Not to mention Long Xiaoyun and Wang Taicang, they may not even have advanced to the Heavenly Palace level yet.

If it weren't for them!

Then there's only one possibility left!

The answer is myself!

This is not narcissism, but a reasonable deduction based on reality.

I am inside my body, but I will not come out to see you.

It seems I'm in big trouble in the future!

In other words, the people who have appeared around me without suffering any harm are probably not enemies!

Therefore, by the same logic, He Wu is not an enemy.

Although his experiences seemed fantastical even to Li Fan, they were indeed true.

After figuring out these key points, Li Fan felt much less stressed.

He has always been in a hurry.

The reason he was in such a hurry was because he was a fish.

They could be cooked in oil anytime, anywhere.

When people are in dire straits, they can easily find themselves in a dead end.

Li Fan asked himself honestly, and he realized that he had considered taking everyone down with him more than once.

In many cases, they even place their hopes on the Chaos Entity.

This idea is clearly wrong!

When the road ahead is not smooth, why not take a step back?

Li Fan raised his eyes and looked up at the high sky.

The path of martial arts leads to ever greater heights!

Nine heavens, the Great Path of Gods and Demons.

Go forth and the world will be yours!

But it is also a desperate situation.

There have been predecessors at the pinnacle of martial arts.

Is freedom possible at the end?

cannot!

The freedom I want is unrestrained freedom.

His robes fluttered without wind, and the Four Heavenly Palaces appeared behind Li Fan.

The Daoist aura soared to the heavens, and the fifth heavenly palace condensed almost instantly.

Even the sixth heavenly palace was only partially visible.

"Holy crap, he broke through!"

Chen Kui, disregarding the matter of dealing with He Wu, drew his sword and tore through the void, enveloping Li Fan within its aura.

This guy is really unreasonable!

He was clearly betrayed, but somehow he turned misfortune into a blessing!

Who can beat him?!

Um?

What is this thing?

Just then, Chen Kui noticed the strange red line that had appeared on Li Fan's sixth-level Heavenly Palace.

The source of the red line was none other than Li Fan's right hand.

A strange red flower appeared out of nowhere.

What is this thing?

Chen Kui narrowed his eyes, his body radiating a murderous aura.

As the blade of the Yazi sword was covered in red light, Chen Kui made a sudden attack.

This strike seemed to come from outer space.

There was no trace, no warning.

The spider lily on the back of Li Fan's hand was peeled off just like that!

Chirp—Chirp—Chirp—

The peeled spider lilies seemed to have come to life.

A furious and piercing roar emanated from the blood-red flower.

It tried to burrow back into Li Fan's body, but Chen Kui's blade light was like an insurmountable chasm.

The petals, shrouded in the glint of the blade, crumbled inch by inch.

As if driven to the brink of despair, all the flower buds coiled around the illusory image of the Heavenly Palace.

Chen Kui raised his hand, preparing to unleash a second strike.

Just then, Li Fan suddenly looked away.

A sharp glint shot out from his eyes.

"He Wu!"

"Boss, fire at me!"

He Wu understood instantly.

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to oneself.

A sharp cracking sound came from the sky, and the Heavenly Palace projected by Li Fan suddenly shattered.

Caught off guard, the spider lily was swept up by the shattered projection of the celestial palace and crashed to the ground.

He Wu opened his arms and embraced the fragments of the Heavenly Palace.

Red spider lilies fell on him.

As if it had found a new home, it burrowed straight into He Wu's chest.

One by one, bright red, silk-like flower buds transformed into octopus tentacles, reaching out to piece together the shattered illusory image of the celestial palace.
