Chapter 335: Suppressing the Holy Maiden

Lin Xiaotian was struck by a sword and immediately lost much of his contempt.

Among all cultivators, sword cultivators were one of the deadliest.

It was said that their offense was the best defense, living by stepping into death!

Now it seemed that the sword cultivator before him was no so-called nobody!

On the contrary, within the Brahma God Sect, he might very well be a top prodigy.

Lin Yi sneered.

“Ying Langtian, perhaps I am not yet your match. But against you, maybe I can gamble, perhaps even slay a Holy Son for sport!”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaotian could no longer suppress the fury in his heart.

“Good! I want to see just how you plan to kill me!”

The moment he spoke, Lin Yi’s figure vanished from where he stood, transforming into a sharp sword light that slashed toward Lin Xiaotian.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan slowly walked up to Gu Cheng and Zi Xinyue.

“How about it? Are we going to fight?”

Gu Cheng’s expression darkened.

“You’re looking down on us?”

Gu Fan spread his hands.

“That’s unjust. I admit I intentionally provoked you to clash with the Pure Radiance God Sect earlier, but that doesn’t mean I look down on anyone.”

“After all, this is only my first year since becoming Holy Son. Naturally, I want to make achievements in this mission.”

Zi Xinyue gritted her teeth in anger.

“So, you tricked us into fighting with the Pure Radiance God Sect?”

“I had no choice. The three of your sects seemed to be on good terms. If you all decided to target us together, what would happen to my Brahma God Sect?”

“I, a newly appointed Holy Son, only thought about protecting myself. That’s not too much, right?”

Gu Cheng could hardly stand Gu Fan’s shameless words.

He grew tired of arguing and directly said to Zi Xinyue:

“Let’s attack together! I want to see if he’ll still be smiling in a moment!”

Zi Xinyue nodded and waved her hand, releasing a spread of violet mist.

At the same time, a scroll depicting beautiful mountains and rivers unfurled in the surroundings.

Gu Fan was slightly surprised.

A domain? No… there were no restrictive laws.

Then this should be an anomaly?

“Primordial Chaos Shining upon the Violet Moon!”

A vast violet moon slowly rose, its terrifying rays falling upon Gu Fan.

His expression changed slightly.

Each strand of violet qi was heavy as iron, and as they layered together, even he felt an immense pressure!

Indeed, none of these sects’ Holy Sons or Holy Maidens were easy opponents.

So casually, she forced out one who wielded an anomaly!

“Gu Fan! Even if you are a Holy Son stronger than Ying Langtian, when faced with my anomaly you must submit!”

Gu Fan chuckled.

“An anomaly? Who doesn’t have one?”

As he spoke, a green lotus swayed, manifesting a divine image that reached through heaven and earth.

An ancient, profound aura spread throughout the battlefield.

Zi Xinyue was taken aback.

“The Power of Anomaly?”

In the next instant, Gu Fan’s strength surged, and a pitch-black domain expanded.

Zi Xinyue felt herself bound by an invisible force, gradually attempting to control her body.

“Gu Cheng! Are you going to wait until he defeats us one by one?”

Gu Cheng’s face shifted between gloom and resolve before he finally gritted his teeth and attacked.

His fists, glowing with a green radiance, rumbled as they smashed toward Gu Fan.

“Competing in physique? Are you tired of living?”

Gu Fan laughed. While using his domain to suppress Zi Xinyue, he swung his fists to clash with Gu Cheng.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two exchanged ten strikes in a row. With each blow, Gu Cheng pushed himself further, and by the tenth punch, a strange fluctuation began flowing within his fist aura.

Gu Fan felt an eerie energy gnawing at his spiritual power. Gu Cheng’s fists grew sharper and fiercer!

A battle technique?

Gu Fan instantly thought of the Gu Family’s battle techniques, rumored to be one where the stronger the opponent, the fiercer the user became.

It was said that fighting against the Gu Family—if you couldn’t win within a hundred exchanges, you were already defeated.

For ordinary cultivators’ strength would wane as spiritual power was consumed, but the Gu Family’s techniques only made them grow stronger!

Gu Fan’s eyes gleamed, and he decided not to hold back!

Hum!

With a single swipe of his finger, a jet-black space fissure appeared, glimmering with dazzling hues.

Gu Cheng’s face paled, and he twisted aside to evade.

At that instant, Gu Fan had already finished charging his strength.

A thunderous elephant’s cry resounded across heaven and earth.

His entire body seemed encased in golden glaze as he threw a punch!

In that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.

“Domain Suppression of Myriad Phenomena! Sixth Layer!”

As Gu Fan’s fist shot out, the instability of the secret realm caused his strike to shatter the spatial barrier itself!

In Gu Cheng’s eyes, the fist grew endlessly larger.

At this moment, only one thought filled his mind—this punch was beyond what he could withstand!

If he couldn’t block it, he would die!

Run! Run! Run!

His body moved faster than his mind. In the blink of an eye, Gu Cheng turned and fled!

Zi Xinyue’s heart turned cold upon seeing this.

So Gu Cheng really was a coward, abandoning her and fleeing alone!

Gu Fan almost laughed aloud. Glancing at Zi Xinyue still struggling desperately, he said:

“Holy Maiden Zi, do you still wish to continue?”

Zi Xinyue’s Primordial Chaos Violet Moon strained frantically, trying to resist both Gu Fan’s anomaly and domain.

But it was futile. His Green Lotus anomaly was extraordinary to begin with, and combined with the black domain’s suppression, even her top-tier anomaly could not overcome it!

“What do you want?”

The question already admitted defeat.

After all, they were not within her sect’s territory. If Gu Fan truly went all out against her, she might not escape intact.

“It’s simple. First, hand over all the Burial Roots!”

Zi Xinyue’s expression turned ugly.

“You’re sure you want to go this far? To offend my Yaochi Sacred Land to death?”

Gu Fan laughed loudly.

“The weak are meat for the strong. What is there to offend or not offend? If your Yaochi dares, let them come trouble me at the Brahma God Sect.”

“But if you don’t hand them over now, I won’t be polite.”

As he spoke, his domain intensified, pressing down with even greater force.

Her defenses became increasingly fragile.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Although I don’t dare kill you, once I capture you, I’ll bind your spiritual power and keep you as my servant girl for a few days.”

“Then, when the whole continent learns that Yaochi’s Holy Maiden was taken by me as a servant girl… what do you think will happen?”

Zi Xinyue’s face drained of color. The words struck her like thunder.

Being injured was one thing—one defeat did not mean future losses, and her sect wouldn’t care too much.

But if she were captured and used as a servant girl, that would be humiliation for her Yaochi Sacred Land itself. She would no longer be worthy of her title as Holy Maiden.

Such disgrace could never be allowed!

What’s more, if she were seized and forced to serve as a maid, who would ever believe nothing else happened?

She would be condemned beyond defense.

No! She absolutely could not allow things to reach that point!

Realizing this, Zi Xinyue chose to yield.

She knew she could not win alone, and with that coward Gu Cheng having fled, surrender was her only option.

Zi Xinyue withdrew her anomaly and said:

“This time, I admit defeat. All the Burial Roots are yours!”
