Chapter 551 - 651: Back to Normal
At this moment, the scene unfolds as Li Min's right arm is severed uniformly from the wrist, with blood flowing incessantly, while his hand is nowhere to be seen. Li Min is kneeling on the ground, clutching the cut, screaming miserably!
Ye Tianfan, on the other hand, is kneeling on one knee, supporting himself with the Fire Lotus Sword, struggling to stand, having fallen earlier beside Tian Chu Zhenren.
Ye Tianfan is covered in blood, and blood continues to spill from his mouth.
In order to sever Li Min's arm, Ye Tianfan did not focus much on defense; all his Spiritual Power was concentrated on the blade of the Fire Lotus Sword, enhancing the power of the third move. It can be said that if Ye Tianfan's strike didn't succeed, he would be left with little ability to resist.
Ye Tianfan made several attempts to stand but could not manage to do so.
Meanwhile, Li Min stopped screaming, stood straight up, and with a face full of hatred, looked at Ye Tianfan, saying with immense spite, "Impressive, to injure me with Qian Yuan's power. Very good, I'm quite interested in you. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will use you for experimentation, and I won't let you die. I'll let you experience the delight of being sliced again and again during the experiments!"
After speaking, Li Min started moving towards Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan let out a couple of bitter laughs, attempting to stand up once more, only to find that he lacked even the strength to grip the sharp blade of the Fire Lotus Sword.
Thus, Ye Tianfan decided not to force himself to stand, instead, tremblingly retrieving a small porcelain bottle from the Xuanhuang Tower, pouring out several pills to consume.
Next, Ye Tianfan took out another small porcelain bottle, pouring out two more pills to swallow.
One bottle contained pills to replenish Spiritual Power, the other for Healing.
Seeing Ye Tianfan attempting to heal himself, Li Min quickly approached, using his intact hand to fiercely grab at the Xuanhuang Tower outside Ye Tianfan's body, saying, "Great, you still want to heal, then let me heal you in my laboratory!"
After speaking, Li Min increased the force of his left hand, attempting to crush the Xuanhuang Tower.
Ye Tianfan's pale face regained some color upon taking the pills, slowly managing to stand.
Once standing, Ye Tianfan said to Li Min, "Your biggest mistake was not eliminating me promptly."
"Hmph, it's quite timely now!" Li Min retorted, further cracking the already-fissured energy of the Xuanhuang Tower.
"Is that so? Haha, then let me present you with a gift!" After saying this, Ye Tianfan stepped back.
Li Min was puzzled by Ye Tianfan's step back, only to see a sharp Sword Qi appear from Ye Tianfan's left side, so formidable that Li Min even retreated several steps under its pressure.
Then, Li Min was sliced in half, collapsing to the ground.
"What? Brother Li is dead?"
The whole event transpired in the flash of an instant, leaving Guang Meili and the others no time to intervene.
At this moment, Guang Meili looked at Ye Tianfan with venomous eyes, realizing that those with Ye Tianfan had already regained consciousness.
"How is this possible?" Guang Meili felt disbelief, seeing them awake, even Zhang Laoliu wanted to escape now.
Together, their strength couldn't match Ye Tianfan's group's.
It should be noted that the group with Ye Tianfan had several individuals with power at the Ten Directions level, whereas the highest among Zhang Laoliu's group was only at the Hundred Convergences peak, which made it impossible to contend.
Without some means of control upon entry, Zhang Laoliu's group couldn't have constrained them whatsoever!
"Was it you?" Guang Meili, being clever, quickly deduced who was responsible, glaring venomously at Ye Tianfan and interrogating him.
"Of course, after all, it seems only my Xuanhuang Tower can repel that mysterious force controlling us!" Ye Tianfan replied with a smile.
Although Ye Tianfan was in excruciating pain, he didn't show it, refusing to display any signs of suffering in front of these villains.
Ye Tianfan managed to restore Tian Chu Zhenren and the others because he had positioned himself advantageously during the confrontation with Li Min. When he was blasted away earlier, he landed right beside Tian Chu Zhenren.
However, Ye Tianfan barely had any Spiritual Power left within at that time, given the comprehensive exertion required to ensure his strategy proceeded as planned, landing him beside Tian Chu Zhenren as intended.
Even though the plan succeeded, Ye Tianfan gambled with replenishing his Spiritual Power, hoping Li Min wouldn't kill him, just delay torture to buy time to ingest the potent restoring pills, empowering the Xuanhuang Tower to restore Tian Chu Zhenren and the others.
The outcome surprised Ye Tianfan, as Li Min lamented for quite some time, unexpectedly allowing sufficient opportunity for recovery despite heavy injury, fortunately underestimating Ye Tianfan, thus allowing time for consuming those precious pills.
After taking the Spiritual Power replenishing pills, Ye Tianfan immediately expanded the Xuanhuang Tower's range, encapsulating Tian Chu Zhenren and the others, communicating silently for them to wait until Li Min approached, acting only when he was utterly defenseless.
Ye Tianfan feared Li Min might have hidden strategies.
Ironically, Li Min fully cooperated, standing defenseless before Ye Tianfan, even reaching for the energy barrier of the Xuanhuang Tower, leaving himself completely exposed, making retaliation inevitable.
"I can't believe I fell for such a trick!" Master Tianji exclaimed angrily, his mustache bristling with fury.
Meanwhile, Tian Chu Zhenren wore a somber expression, deducing from Guang Meili and Ye Tianfan's exchange that he wasn't the only one fooled, only Ye Tianfan remained unaffected.
If Ye Tianfan hadn't restored them, catastrophe loomed, Ye Tianfan undoubtedly facing death without escape, and subjected to experimentation, evident in the arrangement of bodies around the central large corpse.
This realization sent chills down Tian Chu Zhenren's spine, knowing without Ye Tianfan's unique Xuanhuang Tower, they would all be annihilated.
Total annihilation, leading to disastrous losses for the righteous, further crippling efforts to thwart this organization's plans.
