Chapter 538 - 638: An Anticlimactic Battle
Ye Tianfan saw this scene and immediately let out a bitter laugh. Well, it seems like after this battle, he'll have to go back to replenish his spiritual power.
As for leading them all to a room that he had already explored, Ye Tianfan hadn't considered it, because it wasn't just one, but three of them.
Trying to lead three generally results in a situation where, when Ye Tianfan tries to lure one, the other two will follow behind.
And if Ye Tianfan manages to get one into a room, the other two will follow in. If he closes the door at this point, the two behind will break it down. Without closing the door, while waiting for the other two, the one already led inside will turn back and charge at him.
At this point, he can only flee, returning to the starting point, and not having lured them at all.
Besides, closing the door now is already too late for Ye Tianfan, because if he tries, this door will definitely be shattered by these demons.
So for now, Ye Tianfan can only choose to fight.
Ye Tianfan quickly retreated, preparing to fight against the three of them.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan's spiritual power was almost full, allowing him to withstand a high-intensity battle. Of course, time-wise, it would be much shorter, since the external evil qi constantly drains Ye Tianfan's spiritual power.
Ye Tianfan drew the Fire Lotus Sword and infused it with the second style, given his current level of spiritual power he couldn't afford the third style, and had to fight with the second style instead.
After infusing the second style, Ye Tianfan swiftly moved, cutting down the approaching demons at the waist.
When Ye Tianfan cut them in half, and with just one strike, he was momentarily stunned. How could they be so weak?
It shouldn't be like this. Judging by their appearance, they hadn't reached the Thousand Source Realm.
But Ye Tianfan was immediately delighted. After all, the weaker they were, the more advantageous it was for him. He also knew that after he cut them in half, when these three demons recovered, their power might increase to the Thousand Source Realm.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly stabbed the Fire Lotus Sword into one of the demon's bodies, then forcefully lifted it up, and after holding the sword with half a demon corpse on it, he threw this half body into a room he had previously explored. Then he threw the other half in and closed its door, so even if this demon recovered, without finding an enemy, it would remain in confusion.
Using this method, Ye Tianfan systematically locked all three demons in rooms he had explored before. Since one of them was already occupied, Ye Tianfan pinned the last one on the ground, then carefully explored the room they had been in, and finding the demon almost fully recovered, locked it inside and barred the door.
As for why he didn't separate their bodies, it was because if separated, it would produce two demons. That is, the upper half, unable to find the lower half, wouldn't search and would regenerate anew, while the lower half, similarly unable to find the upper half, wouldn't search and regenerate anew. Anyway, they have no thoughts, whether regenerated or original, their minds are just muddled.
After closing the room with the last demon, Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking there would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, the demons hadn't evolved much, and their power hadn't even reached the Thousand Source. Isn't this resolved quite easily?
After locking the demons in rooms, Ye Tianfan resumed his exploration journey, and this time it was very smooth. Until the sun was about to set, Ye Tianfan didn't encounter another demon, as if the area he was responsible for had no demons.
Ye Tianfan returned to his tent and found in a corner, a bathing tub. So he went out to fetch some water, poured it in, and then used the Fire Immortal Technique to heat it.
Watching the steam rise slowly from the bath water, Ye Tianfan smiled contentedly, undressed, and sank into the tub.
"Ah! Comfort! Bathing is surely one of life's greatest joys!" Ye Tianfan uttered without restraint.
Sitting in the tub for quite a while, he suddenly recalled that Zhou Zimo said he would come to express gratitude tonight, but he had forgotten about this while enjoying his bath.
Although Ye Tianfan wanted to continue bathing, thinking about having a guest while still in the bath wasn't appropriate at all, so he reluctantly emerged from the tub, slightly activated his spiritual power to evaporate water droplets from his body, then dressed and sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting.
At this moment, in the Luotian Sect's tent.
"Sect Leader, if Liu Xiaoye keeps kneeling like this, it will harm him," Zhou Zimo said to a middle-aged man with a black beard, sitting at the tent's center.
"Zimo, did I say Liu Xiaoye should kneel? I never told him to kneel, and when he knelt, I told him not to kneel. If he doesn't listen, what can I do!" The black-bearded middle-aged man said helplessly.
After waking, Liu Xiaoye felt deeply ashamed of his previous actions, feeling undeserving to continue living in the Luotian Sect, guilty before his ancestors, so without hesitation knelt before the black-bearded man, pleading for forgiveness.
This black-bearded middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of Luotian Sect, Luotian Zhenren.
Luotian Zhenren kept saying he didn't blame Liu Xiaoye. After all, he didn't anticipate the evil qi's strength, given that many people had come out shortly after entering, to replenish their spiritual power.
And Liu Xiaoye holding on till that moment was impressive. The Sect Leader had no intention of blaming him.
Yet Liu Xiaoye believed the Sect Leader had abandoned him, and refused to ignore him, thus persistently insisting on admitting his mistake.
Hence, the incident arose.
Zhou Zimo understood his junior's personality, so shook his head helplessly and said to Liu Xiaoye, "Junior Brother Liu Xiaoye, please get up. The Sect Leader has no intention of blaming you."
Yet Liu Xiaoye shook his head firmly and said, "I know it's my mistake. I must bear my own errors. I truly don't want the Sect Leader to forsake me."
"When did I ever say I'd abandon you, damn it? Truly frustrating," Luotian Zhenren sighed helplessly, then flicked his sleeve and left.
