You Can Even Put Up with This?

Seeing the person on the wall, Su Fan nearly dropped onto the ground.

In the dead of night, it was terrifying.

Crack!!

A bolt of lightning tore across the pitch-black sky. In the instant it illuminated heaven and earth, he finally saw who had arrived.

"Big Brother, what are you doing standing there? In the middle of the night, you're really scary..."

Ye Tianhe landed in the courtyard and glanced at the severed limbs on the ground.

"What's the matter? Planning to run..."

Seeing Su Fan nod, he frowned.

"You only killed a few people. Why are you running..."

Su Fan sighed and had no choice but to briefly explain the whole story to Ye Tianhe.

Ye Tianhe chuckled and pointed at Su Fan.

"You've been bullied this badly, and you can still put up with it..."

Su Fan nearly cried when he heard that.

"Big Brother, do you think I want to? I'm all alone, while the Qiankun Society has over a hundred cultivators, and its leader is at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining. What do you expect me to do..."

"Don't you still have me..."

Su Fan's eyes lit up, and he was just about to speak.

Ye Tianhe waved his hand and said, "Don't count on me to help you kill that society leader or whatever he is. This is Qingxuan Sect territory. As a disciple of an immortal sect, how could I slaughter innocents indiscriminately?"

After saying that, he glanced at Su Fan and said, "That person is so deeply entangled with Qingxuan Sect. Once I leave, do you think the people from Qingxuan Sect will let you off..."

Su Fan naturally understood this principle. That was also why he had not told Ye Tianhe about the matter.

Actually, from the beginning, he had never expected Old Ye to stand up for him.

The fact that he had shown himself at a time like this was already more than enough.

Ye Tianhe chuckled. "How am I supposed to put this? Go kill that society leader, and you won't have to run."

Su Fan immediately grew anxious. Do you think I'm you?

"You want me to kill someone at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining? Are you trying to get me killed..."

Ye Tianhe wore an exasperated expression and pointed at Su Fan.

"So what if he's in the Late Qi Refining? I've even killed people in the Foundation Establishment Realm..."

Su Fan rolled his eyes. Do you think I'm the Sword Maniac too?

Seeing that Su Fan remained impervious to reason, Ye Tianhe patiently began explaining again.

"You've reached Body Tempering Completion, your footwork is strange, and your physical body is so powerful. Once you get close, what's so difficult about killing someone at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining?"

Su Fan shook his head like a rattle drum.

To be honest, he had entertained the idea as well—using tonight's torrential rain as cover and catching the Qiankun Society's leader off guard before killing him at his own door.

However, despite having plenty of trump cards, he really had no confidence facing someone at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

Ye Tianhe slapped his forehead helplessly. Why is this kid such a coward?

"I'll go with you. What are you afraid of..."

Hearing Ye Tianhe say this, Su Fan wavered.

He really did not want to keep running around. Without the Qiankun Society, his life in Shaoyang Market had been quite comfortable.

After spending these days together, he had a fairly good understanding of Ye Tianhe. He definitely was not the sort of person who would stand by and watch someone die.

With Old Ye accompanying him, even if they could not kill the society leader, his safety would at least be guaranteed.

If this had happened in his previous life, he would definitely have pressed him for answers.

What would it feel like to have a sword cultivator guarding your back while you fought someone with spells?

Of course, Su Fan still had a certain amount of confidence.

He absolutely would not entrust his life to Ye Tianhe based solely on a single sentence from him.

Su Fan hardened his heart. Fine, let's do it!

"Fine... I'll go..."

Hearing Su Fan's words, Ye Tianhe immediately perked up.

"That's more like it. You've been bullied this badly, yet you actually want to run. With a Dao Heart like yours, how will you ever achieve the Great Dao in the future?"

Su Fan curled his lip. I only want to live comfortably. What the hell do I need the Great Dao for?

He suddenly remembered something. He did not even know where the Qiankun Society's leader was. How was he supposed to kill him?

In weather this rainy, with the market so large, where was he supposed to look?

"Old Ye, I don't know where that society leader is?"

Ye Tianhe shook his head. "What a hassle. Wait here."

After saying that, his figure blurred and vanished into the pitch-black curtain of rain.

After a while, Ye Tianhe returned, brimming with excitement.

"Come with me. I'll take you there..."

The two of them traveled through the violent storm beneath the pitch-black night sky, braving the howling wind and torrential rain.

Ye Tianhe brought Su Fan to an alley and pointed at the courtyard ahead.

"We're here. That society leader is inside that courtyard. Go ahead without worry. I'll guard you."

Su Fan nodded, drew his magic sword, and took out two Five Elements Spirit Armor Talismans, slapping one onto himself after another.

Ye Tianhe beside him was dumbfounded.

What the hell...

How afraid of death did this fellow have to be to use two High-grade Protective Talismans?

Su Fan took out another Invisibility and Qi Concealment Talisman and slapped it onto himself. His figure instantly faded away, becoming a faint silhouette.

Especially amid the hurried curtain of rain, his presence could not be seen at all.

Ye Tianhe's eyes went round. That was another High-grade Talisman—and all of them were premium-grade talismans.

Su Fan continued forming hand seals and chanting incantations, casting the Hidden Breath Art and Wind Walking Art. The aura around him grew fainter and fainter.

Then, with a thought, the faint silhouette became like a mass of mist and vanished into the pouring rain in the blink of an eye.

Ye Tianhe was so furious his liver ached. This kid has so many trump cards, yet he's still acting so timid and hesitant.

Su Fan's figure was like a wisp of green smoke as it drifted into the residence.

Watching Su Fan disappear into the rain, Ye Tianhe chuckled again.

After being in contact for so long, he still had not seen through this little Rogue Cultivator. He had always wanted to see what other trump cards he had.

He was clearly highly capable, yet he insisted on pretending to be a coward.

Su Fan drifted into the courtyard. The two cultivators guarding the entrance were dozing beneath the awning, completely unaware of his presence.

Like a ghost, he silently approached and casually snapped both their necks.

Then his Spiritual Sense swept out, quickly determining the Qiankun Society leader's location. His figure moved, and he floated over.

Su Fan arrived before the house where the society leader lived and swept it with the Lightning Eye Dharma Eye.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy rippled out from within the room.

Without even thinking, a flash of lightning burst beneath Su Fan's feet. His figure vanished instantly and appeared several meters away.

Whoosh!!

Su Fan only felt a cold gleam carrying a piercing whistle roar past his cheek by a hair's breadth.

The hairs all over his body stood on end.

He had not expected the other party to discover his arrival through some unknown method.

Luckily, he had not charged in recklessly, but had instead swept the place with the Lightning Dharma Eye. Otherwise, he definitely would have been struck head-on by the other party's magical artifact.

That long sword was clearly a mid-grade magical artifact.

Even two High-grade Protective Talismans would not withstand many strikes.

He pulled out two Taiyi Golden Sword Talismans and flung them forward.

The pitch-black night was instantly illuminated by dazzling golden light.

In the blink of an eye, two sword lights formed. One followed the other, smashing through the door and charging into the house opposite.

Bang! Bang!

The two golden sword lights struck a black, tortoise-shaped shield in succession, producing two deafening explosions.

After suffering two heavy blows in succession, the tortoise shield's spiritual light visibly dimmed.

Before the other party could react, Su Fan flung out two Taiyi Golden Blade Talismans.

Two enormous blades of light howled forward once more. The tortoise-shaped shield was struck and knocked askew before crashing to the ground.

Yue Heng, the Qiankun Society's leader inside the house, was also startled.

What was this kid's background? He had used four High-grade killing talismans the moment he attacked. Could he be a sect disciple?

He had been a bandit cultivator and had always been sinister and crafty, committing countless bloody atrocities in the past.

Later, when Qingxuan Sect developed Shaoyang Market, he washed his hands of his past and became the head of the Qiankun Society.

After years of slaughter, he had accumulated no shortage of enemies. Every day, he even slept with one eye half-open.

Even the slightest disturbance would wake him.

Furthermore, he had set up numerous measures around the house. Although Su Fan had concealed his aura almost perfectly, Yue Heng still sensed a trace of killing intent.

Seeing that his Black Tortoise Shield had been stripped of its spirituality by four killing talismans, he hurriedly crushed the jade pendant on his chest.

A green barrier of light instantly shielded his body within.

He formed hand seals and controlled his flying sword artifact, sending it rushing toward Su Fan once again.

Su Fan had just been about to take the opportunity to charge into the room when he suddenly sensed a piercing whistle behind him.

His figure teleported again, barely dodging the magical artifact.

His body drifted diagonally upward through the air. He took out a Law Banning Talisman, and the violently erupting spiritual light instantly wrapped around the magical artifact.

Temporarily sealing the other party's long sword artifact, Su Fan teleported twice in succession and charged directly into the room.

Yue Heng lost his sense of the long sword artifact and inwardly cried out that something was wrong. He slapped his Storage Bag again, brought out a flying needle, formed a seal, and pointed forward.

Whoosh!!

The Shadowless Flying Needle shot straight toward Su Fan's face. By the time he wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

"A High-grade magical artifact..."

The two layers of spiritual energy armor surrounding him were instantly pierced apart by the flying needle, and the spiritual armor burst apart with a boom.

The Shadowless Flying Needle, knocked flying, circled around and attacked his back at high speed once more.

Su Fan slapped his Storage Bag and brought out the demonic-sect magical artifact, the Yin Luo Umbrella, temporarily blocking the Shadowless Flying Needle's attack.

The Shadowless Flying Needle danced back and forth through the air. After only a few attacks, it pierced through the Yin Luo Umbrella.

However, it bought Su Fan enough time to use a Law Banning Talisman to temporarily bind the Shadowless Flying Needle.

The Law Banning Talisman could only restrain a magical artifact for a few breaths. He had to end the battle quickly.

Su Fan pulled out a handful of talismans and flung them forward in a barrage, then retreated rapidly and left the room.

He threw more than a dozen High-grade Talismans, including the Body Fixing Talisman, Nine Dragon Divine Fire Talisman, Tiger Roar Talisman, and Body Binding Soul Sealing Talisman.

The room was instantly left in ruins. Spiritual energy surged violently, as two scorching fire dragons coiled through the air, mixed with ear-piercing tiger roars.

Su Fan stood in the courtyard with an Earth Escape Talisman pinched in his hand, watching the house before him as it was about to be swallowed by the flames.

If he still doesn't die after this, I can only run.

Whoosh!!

Just as he was staring at the house, the long sword artifact restrained by the Law Banning Talisman suddenly broke free.

Carrying a terrifying edge, it shot toward him with the speed of lightning.

"Damn it..."

In his panic, Su Fan brought out a mid-grade magical-artifact long sword and pointed it forward. The two magical-artifact long swords collided head-on.

Boom!!

Both long sword artifacts were blasted away.

Su Fan did not even bother with his magical-artifact long sword. He directly slapped the Earth Escape Talisman onto himself.

If he still isn't dead after that, what's the point of fighting?

Time to scram...

Yellow light flashed over Su Fan's body, but what happened next terrified him.

After the Earth Escape Talisman activated, it did not dive underground and escape as it had the last time. Instead, it remained in place.

He swept his gaze across the courtyard, where beams of light began to flare up one after another.

"A talisman formation..."

Su Fan gave a bitter smile. This time, I'm really done for.

A talisman formation was, as its name suggested, a formation created using talismans.

Although its might could not compare with a proper formation, it could still display part of a formation's functions.

Yue Heng had countless enemies, so he had arranged two talisman formations around the house where he lived.

One was an alarm talisman formation, which allowed him to sense Su Fan's killing intent.

The other was a ground-trapping cage talisman formation, designed to prevent enemies from using Earth Escape Art to launch a surprise attack. In the end, it had broken Su Fan's Earth Escape Talisman.
