Chapter 378: The Slaughter Begins!

Gu Fan and Fang Xue, upon hearing those words, did not continue speaking. To put it simply, the two of them were now forced to act as enforcers.

The blood-colored corrosive energy was indeed terrifying. Neither of them dared to gamble. If even a trace touched them, they would basically be crippled.

As for Gu Fan’s powerful physical body… what a joke. Even a grand formation at the Shore Reaching Realm had been dissolved, let alone his mere flesh!

Under such circumstances, other than compromising to protect the Blood-colored Child, there was no other way.

But the problem was—protecting it was just as dangerous! The hundreds of Hunters behind them were not here to play games!

Gu Fan was confident that he could contend against any one of them, but with so many, there was no chance for a one-on-one duel.

Most likely, he would be beaten to death, and the Blood-colored Child would be taken away.

Just as the two of them were unable to come up with any strategy, a whistling sound came surging toward them.

The two instantly reacted and dodged, only to see that from the side, unbeknownst to them, some people had already flanked them!

“Damn it! We’re surrounded! Change direction!”

Gu Fan immediately led a charge in the other direction, but very soon, more than a dozen cultivators appeared on this side as well!

Seeing this, Gu Fan steeled his heart. Pressing his palms together, he prepared to condense a Cultivation Nuclear Bomb to forcefully blast open a gap in the encirclement!

At this moment, a voice rang out from within the crowd!

“Interrupt him! An attack of that level must require charging. Otherwise, how could a mere Yang Spirit Realm brat unleash such destructive power!”

“That’s right! Kill him!”

In an instant, countless spells rained down. With only Fang Xue, it was absolutely impossible to block so many attacks!

Gu Fan had no choice but to cancel his condensation. While evading, he observed the surroundings.

From the corner of her eye, Fang Xue spotted a familiar figure. The one who had just shouted to prevent Gu Fan from charging up was none other than Yi Tianliu!

Yi Tianliu clearly also noticed Fang Xue and Gu Fan.

His expression carried a hint of excitement.

“The fairy has left us, only to fall to such a pitiful state? Tell me, do you regret it now?”

Fang Xue felt speechless. Why was this man so full of himself?

Did she have to regret now?

He had no idea that if not for her and Gu Fan agreeing to the Blood-colored Child’s deal, the grand formation would never have opened. The rest of them might not have even had a chance to escape.

In the end, they might all have perished inside the city.

The fact that everyone was released at all, in some sense, was something they owed to her and Gu Fan.

“You aren’t qualified to make me regret. Such a trivial matter, yet you cling to it with pride…”

“Besides, with your strength, I can defeat you within a few moves. What is there for me to regret?”

Fang Xue’s expression was calm, as if she had never placed Yi Tianliu in her eyes.

This made Yi Tianliu furious. He felt as if all his gestures of goodwill had been trampled into the dirt.

Some others who were unaware of the past could be excused, but there were still a group of cultivators in the crowd who had once banded together with Yi Tianliu.

At this moment, these people laughed out loud:

“Haha, I remember this female cultivator being extremely arrogant back then. I wonder if she regrets so much that her guts are turning green, for choosing that pretty boy instead!”

“Hahaha, perhaps if she kneels now, we might even consider sparing her life—provided she properly serves Elder Yi first! Hahahaha!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Elder Yi is giving you one last chance. Hand over the Blood Energy creature, kneel, and admit your mistake, and you may yet live!”

At the sudden burst of filthy words, Fang Xue’s gaze turned ice-cold.

“Courting death!”

Whoosh!

Before she could act, an invisible ripple spread out.

Those few men who had just spoken were instantly cleaved into two halves.

Until their deaths, they never expected that a few mocking words would cost them their lives!

Gu Fan slowly lowered his finger, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd as he said:

“Did you truly think we are sheep to be slaughtered at your whim?”

Yi Tianliu and his group’s faces all changed. That ripple just now—it was the power of space.

They could not have imagined that this Yang Spirit Realm youth had actually grasped spatial power!

That was something that even Three Blossoms Realm, or even Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators might not comprehend!

“What a temper! I admit that your spatial power has frightening lethality, but with so many of us, do you really think a mere Yang Spirit Realm can defy the heavens?”

Someone forced themselves to speak up. His words instantly steadied the crowd’s nerves, and they all glared at Gu Fan and Fang Xue with vigilance.

To prevent another surprise strike.

“That’s right! Everyone, attack together. Let’s see if he can truly defy the heavens!”

Gu Fan had no intention of running anymore.

When they were surrounded, he had already noticed the emotional fluctuations of the Blood-colored Child. Clearly, despite being in what looked like a desperate situation, it showed no trace of panic.

It obviously held a trump card. At least, this crowd before them was not enough to threaten it!

In that case, he decided to force out its hidden methods. Otherwise, with endless pursuers at their backs, he and Fang Xue would be the ones suffering!

In the blink of an eye, Gu Fan’s black domain expanded outward!

Fang Xue instantly followed, her cold aura soaring as a field of frosty sword qi unfolded in white!

This scene shocked everyone present!

Cultivators at the Three Blossoms Realm could indeed manifest their own domains. That much was common.

But Fang Xue, though only at the early stage of the Three Blossoms Realm, had manifested such a complete and terrifying domain—it could be explained as extraordinary talent.

But Gu Fan, a mere Yang Spirit Realm cultivator, had also manifested a domain!

What was worse, his domain looked genuinely terrifying, not like some illusion or trick!

“Kill!”

Gu Fan let out a furious roar, his terrifying aura erupting.

Dark waves of energy rippled from within his domain as he charged into the crowd like a tiger descending the mountain!

Of course, he was not foolish. He specifically targeted those at the Yang Spirit Realm, avoiding the entanglement of the Three Blossoms Realm cultivators, intending to eliminate the small fry first!

Fang Xue shared the same idea.

The two of them turned hostile in an instant, and in just a few breaths, they had already rushed into the crowd.

Immediately, screams echoed through the battlefield.

Gu Fan’s body was immensely strong, and within his domain he could even use short-range spatial movement.

In an instant, he appeared behind one of the most provocative cultivators.

Grabbing the man’s head with one hand, he twisted sharply!

Crack!

With a crisp snap, the cultivator’s skull was forcibly wrenched apart by Gu Fan!

Only now did the crowd truly regain their senses.

Yi Tianliu immediately roared:

“Attack together! Don’t hold back!”

“If you don’t act now, are you all waiting to be killed one by one? Strike together and kill them!!”

Boom!

The crowd reacted instantly.

They launched a joint assault against Gu Fan and Fang Xue.

At the scene, there were twenty-three Three Blossoms Realm cultivators.

All of them instantly unfolded their domains.

Though their strengths varied, when they all targeted Gu Fan and Fang Xue together, the two of them instantly felt the looming crisis of death!
