Robbery, Zi Yue Falls in Love

With a sweep of his sleeve, Lin Fan sent several Shattered Essence Shuttles forged from Shattered Essence Profound Steel flying out, where they collided with his opponents' weapons.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The Shattered Essence Shuttles instantly blocked the two men's attacks.

However, although they stopped the fiery red longsword engraved with runes, several Shattered Essence Shuttles were burned apart by the flames coating it.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Cao Zhu clenched both hands, and immense Spiritual Power rapidly gathered in his palms.

In the blink of an eye, two rapidly spinning spiritual discs condensed into form. Their sharp circular blades tore through the air as they spun, producing bursts of whistling wind.

"Go!"

The two worked together flawlessly. The instant Cao Zhu released the sharp spiritual discs, the fiery red longsword traced an arc through the air and shot toward Lin Fan like lightning.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and stretched out both hands. Azure light spread across them as two Origin Spirit Talismans shot out from his Niwan Palace, concealed beneath his skin as they formed Spirit Talisman Vortices.

One hand reached for the fiery red longsword, while the other grabbed at the spiritual discs.

"He actually dares to catch them with his bare hands!"

"He's courting death!"

Cao Zhu and Liu Long grinned viciously, immediately increasing the force of their attacks.

But the next moment, both men were stunned.

Neither attack caused Lin Fan any harm.

Instead, the Spiritual Power within the fiery red longsword and the spiritual discs were both absorbed by Lin Fan's hands.

After absorbing that Spiritual Power, Lin Fan's Divine Sense grew slightly once more.

Of course, the increase was not significant, but something was better than nothing.

Liu Long roared, "Lin Fan, give me back my Blazing Fire Sword!"

"Since I obtained it, it belongs to me now."

Lin Fan smiled faintly, then flashed forward and arrived before the two men.

At the same time, his palms concealing the Spirit Talisman Vortices pressed down onto their heads.

The two hurriedly tried to retreat.

Unfortunately, whether in Yuan Power cultivation or Spiritual Power cultivation, they were far inferior to Lin Fan.

Thus, the moment they moved, Lin Fan suppressed them.

The instant Lin Fan's palms touched their heads, their bodies began to convulse violently.

Then, to their horror, the two Origin Talisman Seals within their Niwan Palaces trembled and flew out of their control, only to be absorbed into Lin Fan's palms.

"Pfft!"

With their Origin Talisman Seals absorbed, the two men were affected as well and spat out mouthfuls of blood.

"Y-you actually crippled us!"

"Devil! You're a devil!"

The two stared at Lin Fan in terror. Their Niwan Palaces were now completely empty, and the Origin Talisman Seals they had spent years painstakingly condensing had been taken by Lin Fan.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a great amount of Divine Sense power surged forth within Lin Fan's Niwan Palace, increasing his cultivation.

These four Origin Talisman Seals contained nearly ninety percent of Cao Zhu and Liu Long's Spiritual Power.

Both men were peak Two-Seal Symbol Masters. Combined, ninety percent of their Spiritual Power was a fairly substantial amount even for Lin Fan, a Three-Seal Talisman Master.

After absorbing their Spiritual Power, Lin Fan looked at the two men with ill intent and asked with a smile, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Although Lin Fan wore a smile, to the two men, it was the smile of a demon, terrifying them beyond measure.

"Live! We want to live!"

Liu Long quickly said.

Lin Fan said, "Since you chose to live, hand over your Cosmos Sacks."

"What? You want our Cosmos Sacks too?"

"Impossible!"

Lin Fan's demand was immediately rejected by both men.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan frowned and lightly flicked the Blazing Fire Sword with a finger.

Seeing that Lin Fan was growing impatient, Liu Long gritted his teeth and tossed over his Cosmos Sack.

At the side, seeing that his senior brother had complied, Cao Zhu also handed his Cosmos Sack to Lin Fan through clenched teeth.

After taking the Cosmos Sacks, Lin Fan could not be bothered with the two any longer. He strode directly toward the Spiritual Barrier leading to the Sixth Layer.

When Lin Fan came into contact with the wave-like Spiritual Barrier, it merely trembled slightly before he entered.

After entering the Sixth Layer, Lin Fan saw two figures not far apart, taking the same heavy steps as they moved toward the center of the Sixth Layer.

"Huff... huff..."

A distance of less than a hundred zhang had already left Zi Yue drenched in fragrant sweat.

The spiritual pressure enveloping her was like a small mountain, threatening to crush her.

She raised her head and glanced at Zhou Tong. Although his steps were equally heavy, his pace remained steady and had not slowed under the spiritual pressure here.

Zhou Tong gave Zi Yue a faint glance and said, "With your strength, you cannot break through the barrier leading to the Seventh Layer. It seems the Symbol Master Tower will belong to Skyfire City."

"I may not be able to enter, but someone can."

Zi Yue spoke up.

"Oh?"

Zhou Tong turned around and looked toward the entrance to the Sixth Layer, just in time to see Lin Fan striding quickly toward them.

"Is he the person you mean?"

Zhou Tong asked curiously, then said, "I'll head to the Seventh Layer first. If he has the ability, let him come find me there."

With that, Zhou Tong took a step forward and entered the Spiritual Barrier.

In an instant, the Spiritual Barrier began to squirm wildly. Waves of terrifying fluctuations spread out, as though they were trying to squeeze him back out.

Yet despite that crushing force, Zhou Tong continued forward at a slow pace, eventually disappearing from sight.

"He actually succeeded!"

Seeing his disappearing figure, Zi Yue tried as well.

"Bang!"

But the moment she stepped into the Spiritual Barrier, a terrifying Spiritual Fluctuation surged into her body.

The next instant, she suffered what felt like a heavy blow and was sent flying backward as she coughed up blood.

"If you can't enter, don't force yourself!"

A familiar voice rang out beside her ear. At the same time, a warm palm suddenly pressed against her smooth jade-like back, causing her flying body to slowly settle onto the ground.

Zi Yue instantly guessed who had helped her, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

But just as she was about to speak with him, that figure released her and quickly headed toward the Spiritual Barrier leading to the Seventh Layer.

"Buzz!"

As Lin Fan stepped in, the Spiritual Barrier shook violently. Strange humming sounds rang out continuously, while powerful crushing force poured in from all directions.

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and stepped forward forcefully, vanishing from Zi Yue's sight.

"Sigh!"

Watching Lin Fan's hurriedly departing figure, Zi Yue could not help but sigh. "The falling flowers yearn, but the flowing water feels nothing. The beauty I have always taken pride in seems to mean little to Young Master Lin Fan..."

Ever since Lin Fan had slain Yue Shan with a single sword strike that day, his heroic bearing had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

Unfortunately, he always kept his distance from her, unwilling to grow too close.
