Chapter 2075: Chapter 2112: Don’t Let Him Escape

The fierce wind raged, and rain poured heavily from the sky, which was pitch black and devoid of any light, making the night unsettling.

In the small courtyard behind the Great Elder Wu Ji’s castle, members of the Skeleton Sect and the Liew Family were still locked in a fierce battle, with both sides showing no reservation of strength. They clashed head-on, unleashing their most powerful attacks to claim each other’s lives.

Initially, there were more martial artists on the Liew Family’s side, but after Ye Fan’s onslaught, the numbers on both sides had evened out.

"The Lord is mighty, the Lord is mighty!"

The martial artists of the Skeleton Sect were shouting wildly. At this moment, Ye Fan was like a god to them, a War God!

"Miss, be careful!"

A long arrow suddenly shot towards Wu Qingxia, and one of the experts beside her pushed her out of the way. The arrow pierced his throat, and as he turned to look, Liew Bin was staring coldly at him from the crowd. Clutching his throat, the expert staggered a few steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

This expert’s skills were comparable to that of the cleaver expert. While the Liew Family Alliance lost an expert, Wu Qingxia’s side had also lost one, once again balancing the battle strength on both sides.

"Liew Qiang, you two go kill that so-called Lord for me, and the rest, launch a fierce attack on them."

Liew Bin instructed the two experts beside him. He knew that if Ye Fan continued his rampage, the situation at the back gate could become dangerous. They had to send people to eliminate him.

In his view, the two experts were much stronger than the cleaver expert, so it was impossible for them not to kill Ye Fan. The two experts were Liew Qiang and Liew Tian.

"Alright!"

Liew Qiang shouted, brandishing his long saber wildly, pushing back an expert from the Skeleton Sect before turning and rushing madly towards Ye Fan.

Wu Qingxia and others saw this and became anxious, wanting to rush towards Ye Fan. However, the Liew Family Alliance’s people were tenaciously clinging to them, while Liew Bin kept shooting arrows from the outer perimeter, leaving them unable to support Ye Fan.

Ye Fan, however, showed no sign of anxiety, wielding the Giant Axe to slay several martial artists from the Liew Family around him. Leaning on the Giant Axe, he watched coldly, waiting for Liew Qiang and Liew Tian to approach, with not a trace of fear on his face—only an unbounded fighting spirit.

Liew Tian, the cleaver expert’s cousin, bore some resemblance in appearance. Ye Fan couldn’t help but comment, "Ha, you must be relatives with that old fool. Both have the same cunning, thief-like faces. He hasn’t even cooled yet; let me send you to join him."

Liew Tian’s eyes flared red with anger. Ye Fan’s words were truly infuriating, especially since he had been on good terms with his cousin, growing up together. Now, Ye Fan had cleaved his cousin in half, and how could he not be enraged?

At this moment, Liew Tian’s aura surged as he accelerated, roaring like a beast as he charged towards Ye Fan. The True Qi infusing his long saber, it gleamed with dazzling light and charged at Ye Fan with impressive momentum.

Liew Qiang was faster than Liew Tian, and got up earlier, but he deliberately slowed down slightly, waiting for Liew Tian to catch up before picking up the pace together. Liew Qiang, experienced in combat, didn’t recklessly attack alone, knowing it was far better to face Ye Fan alongside Liew Tian.

Liew Qiang was younger, and much more slender than Liew Tian. His eyes were already small, and now squinted in the rain, appearing as narrow glints of cold light, like a predator ready to devour its prey.

Liew Tian charged head-on at Ye Fan in rage, while Liew Qiang quietly circled to the side, determined to let Liew Tian launch a frontal attack while he executed a sneak strike to cleave Ye Fan down, a tactic that had slain many experts.

Liew Qiang held his long saber firmly, trailing behind him, slowly approaching Ye Fan, shrouded by the veil of night and rain, like a poisonous snake.

Liew Tian was about to reach Ye Fan, with several iron rings on his long saber clinking loudly. The sound from his saber’s iron rings was so jarring that nearby fighters could feel their ears ache.

If one were to observe closely, they’d notice Liew Tian’s long saber trembling rhythmically, making the iron rings sound bizarre and loud, unsettling the enemy’s mind.

Ye Fan felt a sharp pain in his ears, finding it hard to focus his attention. He eyed Liew Tian’s battle saber and retreated with a flip of his foot.

"Die!"

Liew Tian accelerated the tremors of his saber, forcefully leaping while slashing his battle saber at Ye Fan.

Affected by the sound of the saber’s rings, Ye Fan seemed somewhat slow as he raised his Giant Axe to block Liew Tian’s battle saber.

"Bang!"

In midair, Liew Tian exerted all his might in bringing down the battle saber, directly striking Ye Fan’s Giant Axe. Ye Fan, slightly dazed by the saber’s sound, was sent flying by the blow, crashing into a Liew Family martial artist before coming to a stop, rolling once on the ground.

Liew Tian, too, was jolted by Ye Fan’s counter-strength, but merely stumbled and steadied himself without falling.

"Whoosh!"

A shadow charged rapidly like a wolf, swiftly approaching Ye Fan, raising a long saber to strike the just-rising Ye Fan.

Liew Qiang, too, made his move, seizing the best opportunity as Ye Fan, toppled by Liew Tian, was hurriedly getting up, his attention still on Liew Tian.

"Ye Fan, be careful!"

Though Wu Qingxia was continuously engaged in combat, she kept an eye on Ye Fan. Seeing Liew Qiang sneaking up while Ye Fan seemed oblivious, she couldn’t help but cry out.

"That fool!"

Behind a window in a room, Xia Mengqing sneered with a comment. Her understanding of Ye Fan’s strength told her that Liew Tian couldn’t have so easily knocked him flying; only one possibility remained: he did it intentionally!

There was only one objective—to strike at the sneaking Liew Qiang!

As expected!

The Giant Axe in Ye Fan’s hands moved, and with both hands gripping the axe, he fiercely swung it backward. At the same time, a surge of energy rose within him, his muscles bulged, and his eyes emitted waves of killing intent, making him appear more like a beast.

"Ah..."

A miserable scream rang out. Just as Liew Qiang was about to succeed, he dropped to his knees. His left leg had been chopped off by Ye Fan, leaving him kneeling on one leg. Suddenly, he discovered a small dog was chewing on his right foot, the intense pain causing him to feel dizzy.

"Die!"

Ye Fan roared loudly, sensing something amiss, Liew Qiang looked up abruptly, only to see the Giant Axe enlarging before his eyes. Instinctively, he wanted to raise his saber to block.

"Clang!"

Liew Qiang’s long saber was knocked off in one hit, and without any hindrance, the Giant Axe cleaved down, instantly splitting Liew Qiang’s body into two.

"Ah... hiss..."

Liew Tian, who had planned to strike again, couldn’t help but let out a startled cry, inhaling a sharp breath. Everyone in the ongoing battle was taken aback. They were too far away to see Sirius, and merely saw Ye Fan swing an axe backward and chop Liew Qiang to death.

What on earth is going on?

Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. Many knew Liew Qiang; his strength was not ordinary, yet he was killed by a single swing from Ye Fan. Is Ye Fan a god?

No one spotted Sirius, nor did they see Ye Fan using any secret technique. The Giant Axe he wielded seemed merely formidable and heavy.

Swoosh!

Sirius darted into the Hundred Treasure Bag in Ye Fan’s arms. Though nearby people caught a glimpse, they had no clue what it was. Covered in black fur, those further away couldn’t see it!

At this moment, Ye Fan turned and said to Liew Tian, "So, you’re Liew Tian? Do you really think you’re strong? Killing you is like slaughtering a pig—easy."

After speaking, Ye Fan swiftly soared into the air and, like an arrow, shot forward, landing right in front of Liew Tian. He shouted, "Liew Tian, prepare to die! Witness my Shadowless Divine Axe!"

Ye Fan’s Giant Axe descended straight down with a sharp whistle. Liew Tian was startled—Shadowless Divine Axe? Could it be that Liew Qiang was killed by this so-called divine axe? Is "shadowless" referring to the lack of a shadow?

With Ye Fan’s voice booming like thunder, Liew Tian genuinely glanced to see if the Giant Axe cast a shadow. This momentary distraction caused his reaction to lag.

In a battle between experts, every second counts. By the time Liew Tian realized Ye Fan was bluffing, it was too late to raise his saber.

"Thud... Bang!"

The Giant Axe slammed heavily onto Liew Tian, sending him flying. He collided with several martial artists from the Liew family, the terrifying force impacting his internal organs directly.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, spraying all over himself. Liew Tian rolled and climbed up, suppressing his urge to spit more blood. Pressing one hand on the ground, it trembled continuously; his hand was shattered by Ye Fan’s strike!

"How is this possible! How can you possess such terrifying power?"

Watching Ye Fan sprinting toward him like a whirlwind, Liew Tian shouted in disbelief.

A force of ten thousand pounds!

Liew Tian sensed that Ye Fan’s previous strike bore the strength of ten thousand pounds! If not for his quick wits and utilizing that strength to propel himself, he’d already be accompanying Liew Qiang.

Ye Fan, as if possessed by the War God, charged forward fiercely, sweeping all before him. He cut through the warriors of the Liew Family Alliance Army effortlessly, arriving before Liew Tian. Coldly, he said, "Want to know why I have such terrifying power? Ask King Yama!"

"Swoosh..."

A sharp sound rang out. Ye Fan’s perception ability, sensitive as a beast’s, didn’t even glance in that direction, swinging the Giant Axe in his hand.

"Clang~!"

An oncoming arrow was knocked away, and as Ye Fan looked in the direction from which it was shot, his gaze locked onto Liew Bin in the crowd. Coldly, he said, "Young Master Liew Bin, is it? Do you want me to finish you first before dealing with Liew Tian?"

Hit by Ye Fan’s gaze, Liew Bin’s heart suddenly grew cold, as if he’d been plunged into an icy cell. He had intended to shoot the arrow to stop Ye Fan from killing Liew Tian but hadn’t anticipated being targeted by Ye Fan.

At this moment, all martial artists within the Liew Family Alliance Army, including himself, were terrified by Ye Fan. He had been here for barely twenty minutes and yet had slain three great experts, numerous martial artists, and gravely injured Liew Tian. Shouldn’t Liew Tian be his top expert?

Liew Bin was thoroughly frightened. Having lost two of his personal experts and with Liew Tian about to die, he hadn’t expected that the battle he personally led in the back entrance would end in his failure. If he didn’t flee now, he might never have another chance.

He didn’t know when such a master appeared in the Skeleton Sect, not even the previous sect leader might be his match. The Liew Family Alliance’s assault on the Great Elder’s castle and the Skeleton Sect’s stronghold occurred simultaneously, with the front gate being the main battlefield.

With Young Master Zhong overseeing, it seemed impossible for the Liew Family to lose. With that in mind, Liew Bin decided to flee. From now on, he’d be the Young Overlord near the Great Python Mountain, the Young Master of all forces here. There was no need to fight Ye Fan to the death; he was porcelain, while Ye Fan, in his eyes, was merely a broken brick. He no longer cared about Wu Qingxia, nor his subordinates, turning around to run.

"Ye Fan! Don’t let him escape, capture him alive!"

A sudden voice rang out from a room—that was Xia Mengqing’s voice!
