Feeling the power of the true Third Step within him, Bai Xiaofan felt as if all the meridians in his body were cheering and shouting, seemingly excited for this very moment!

Early stage of Heaven-breaking!

Although he had just stepped into the Third Step, Bai Xiaofan had mastered the Nine Steps to Heaven. After performing the Nine Steps to Heaven, he became a master of the Unity Realm!

By then, he had the confidence to defeat even a Golden Elephant one-on-one!

"Stop playing around, finish the fight quickly. The tacit understanding between you and the Chengying Sword can no longer benefit from this Purgatory real one’s effect; to continue enhancing it, you can only rely on even more intense battles!"

After breaking through, Bai Xiaofan was joyful in his heart, and he instructed Yuan’er not far away!

"My master said not to waste time with you any longer, so you can just die!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Yuan’er softly said, with the Chengying Sword in her hand slashing horizontally, striking the ghost king knife in the Purgatory real one’s hand, forcing him back two steps!

Then, without waiting for the Purgatory real one to react, Yuan’er took another step forward, mercilessly thrusting the Chengying Sword towards his chest!

Facing the suddenly soaring strength of Yuan’er, the Purgatory real one was caught off guard. While defending with all his might, he was also searching for the best opportunity to counterattack!

In his view, the reason he was taken by surprise by Yuan’er was mainly because he did not expect Yuan’er’s strength to soar suddenly!

At this moment, having adapted, he naturally wouldn’t remain suppressed by Yuan’er!

However, as time passed, the Purgatory real one was astonished to find that every move Yuan’er made blocked all his escape routes, forcing him into defensive positions with not even a hint of a gap to counterattack!

The longer the battle continued, the more flustered the Purgatory real one grew!

Sizzle!

A moment of carelessness, and Yuan’er’s Chengying Sword cut a wound into the Purgatory real one’s left arm, leaving a bright red gash!

Under the intense pain, the Purgatory real one took a deep breath, barely calming himself down, knowing he couldn’t continue being forced into defense and needed to find a way to break the situation quickly!

But!

Sizzle!

With a crisp sound, another wound appeared on the Purgatory real one’s left arm, deeper than the previous one, spilling more blood!

What is going on?

He was clearly highly focused!

How did he end up getting stabbed by Yuan’er again?

The Purgatory real one couldn’t understand!

Suddenly, catching Bai Xiaofan out of the corner of his eye, sitting not far away and drinking wine, it seemed he found a method to break the embarrassing situation he was in!

Clang!

The Purgatory real one’s ghost king knife swung sharply, blocking Yuan’er’s thrusting longsword, and as he retreated rapidly, he hurriedly called out to Bai Xiaofan not far away, "May I ask if you are Mister Bai Xiaofan?"

Indeed, upon hearing the Purgatory real one’s words, Yuan’er’s re-thrusted longsword paused slightly, turning with a questioning glance to Bai Xiaofan, unsure if she should continue attacking?

"You know me?"

Bai Xiaofan signaled for Yuan’er not to attack first, looking at the Purgatory real one with indifferent eyes!

"Mister Bai, I am a member of the Immortal Realm, I once fought alongside you against the Fire Demon Clan!"

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s response, the Purgatory real one hurriedly introduced himself loudly, fearing a slow response might provoke Yuan’er to draw her sword again!

"Since you recognize me, yet still dared to harm my woman, do you acknowledge your mistake?"

Originally thinking Bai Xiaofan would spare him for having fought the Fire Demon Clan together, he didn’t expect Bai Xiaofan’s eyes to turn icy cold, with a faint killing intent enveloping him!

It felt as if just a thought from Bai Xiaofan could consign him to death on the spot!

"Mister Bai, I truly didn’t know that she was your woman. When I found out, I brought my men back here, and those two who hurt your woman have already been slain by me!"

Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, the Purgatory real one dared not slacken, eagerly explaining, hoping Bai Xiaofan’s anger would not extend to him!

He knew how terrifying Bai Xiaofan was, and thus dared not harbor even a shred of resistance in Bai Xiaofan’s presence!

"Enough with the nonsense; if I don’t kill you this time, then won’t anyone dare make a move against the women around me in the future? How will I maintain any dignity then? Either kill yourself now, or let this foolish girl slay you!"

Despite the Purgatory real one’s words, Bai Xiaofan remained indifferent, his gaze fixed on the Purgatory real one as if looking at a dead man!

"Mister Bai, I am a subordinate to the elder Modao Zi; please spare me on his behalf this time!"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s murderous intent unabated, the Purgatory real one had no choice but to bring up his last resort, hoping Bai Xiaofan would spare him this time for Modao Zi’s sake!

This was a last resort for the Purgatory real one; if it wasn’t a matter of life and death, he wouldn’t easily bring up the name of Modao Zi!

Since before he left, Modao Zi had instructed him not to mention him unless absolutely necessary!

"Modao Zi? You’re Modao Zi’s subordinate? Why have I never seen you at the Battle Corpse Sect?"

Bai Xiaofan slightly frowned, confirming that he hadn’t seen this Purgatory real one at the Battle Corpse Sect. Otherwise, with his post-Heaven-breaking cultivation, he would have noticed, unless his previous cultivation was much lower!

"Replying to you, Mister Bai, I was only a minor cultivator at the Sky-peeking Realm before, you naturally wouldn’t have noticed me!"

Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s inquiry, the Purgatory real one answered truthfully, not daring to hide anything!

"Since you’re Modao Zi’s man, then..."

Bai Xiaofan paused here, and a pleased smile spread across the Purgatory real one’s face, thinking Bai Xiaofan would spare him for Modao Zi’s sake this time!

But!

Just as a smile appeared on the Purgatory real one’s face, Bai Xiaofan’s next words stunned him, revealing fear in his expression!

"Then I shall personally slay you, as a gesture of goodwill to Modao Zi!"

As the words fell, Bai Xiaofan took one step forward, and the moment his foot touched the ground, a massive invisible force surged toward the Purgatory real one!

Before the Purgatory real one could react, this immense impact force directly shattered his body, splitting him into pieces and dying right in front of the Purgatory Sect disciples!
