The Biggest Loss of All

Although they absorbed the same memories, they only inherited knowledge, not emotions...

Seeing how decisively Ink Bamboo Mountain dealt with the 'out-of-control fellow disciples,' Li Fan had roughly guessed that this was the case.

This is similar to the concept of "discarding" or "stealing" something; it looks the same, but the inside has been completely replaced.

"Curly-Colt! You better hide well! If I get knocked away again, I'll come to your rescue!"

"Neigh!"

Taking advantage of the lull in the ethical drama below, Li Fan quickly took some drugs to regain his strength, put on the Gui Xu Dao Yi, jumped off his mount, and activated the robe's invisibility effect. Concealing his presence in the dark clouds and malevolent aura, he used gravity to silently fall towards the top of 'Yang Ying' below.

As he fell, countless streams of malevolent black ash secretly condensed around Li Fan, piling up layer upon layer to form a composite armor of carbonized skin and ice scales.

Yes, they gave it their all.

Previously, he didn't want to expend his true energy in close combat, risking his life for another, so he stayed far away and threw bricks at people. But now the situation has reversed.

In the short time it has been, 'Yang Ying' has already inherited a large number of practical combat skills from her previous life, including sword techniques, palm techniques, and now even escape techniques. If you throw bricks at her now, you probably won't be able to hit her at all.

Now that our opponent can control baleful energy as spiritual energy, who knows how many more powerful techniques Emei has left? To continue engaging in mid-to-long-range combat is tantamount to suicide. Dragging this out will only make the opponent stronger. The only option is to sneak up close, engage, and fight to the death!

As a system-issued equipment, the Gui Xu Dao Yi was indeed quite effective. At this moment, Yang Ying was completely unaware of Li Fan, who had silently descended from above with murderous intent. Instead, her attention was drawn elsewhere.

After all, it had repeatedly emphasized that the name should not be mentioned, but now the three remaining women of the Yang Family had lost their minds and were screaming hysterically, "Xuan'er!" "Eek!" "Sister Nan Ying!"

With a Zuifeng Ganue movement, Yang Ying suddenly appeared in front of the group of bystanders.

Han Jiu, who was blocking the way, was terrified. He drew his sword to protect himself and leaped backward to dodge.

"Nan Ying, Nan Ying, Nan Ying... it's so noisy!"

But Yang Ying ignored him completely, and with a slap, smashed the terrified girl who was shouting, "Sister Nan Ying, it's me, Nian'er!"

"Aaaaaah--! Nian'er!" "Yang Nanying, I'll fight you to the death!!"

The remaining two Yang Family girls immediately turned red-eyed, and with desperate screams, they rushed forward to fight to the death.

"Shut up! If you miss Nan Ying so much, then come and keep her company!"

Yang Ying roared, her Dao power surging, and the Heavenly Robe's murderous aura erupted, blasting her former family members into dust. In the next instant, she suddenly withdrew, gathering all their flesh and bones into the Heavenly Robe, merging them into herself and becoming one with it.

Faced with this ruthless demon, and corrupted by the overwhelming evil energy, Qianchun and Han Jiu were stunned, lying on the ground trembling, unable to muster any strength to resist.

Yang Ying took a deep breath, opened her arms towards the eye of the storm of Qiankun Sha Qi in the sky, and laughed joyfully, "Finally, it's peaceful..."

The next instant, the Blood Infant shrieked in the Divine Court!

"Emei Yang Nanying--!"

"Aaaaaah--!! Shut up, aaaaah!"

"Yang Nanying, prepare to die!!" Li Fan appeared out of nowhere and launched a surprise attack!

"Shut up!"

Yang Ying roared, plunging her right hand into her temple and pulling out a blood infant's leg! At the same time, she pointed with her left hand, and the protective Tai Sha Heavenly Robe transformed into two black and white arms, swirling and sweeping over, blasting Li Fan to pieces!

They exploded into eleven!

"Yang Nanying!!" X11

The clone turned and ran away, screaming around 'Yang Ying'.

"Asshole--!"

Yang Ying waved her hand furiously, her heavenly robes detached from her body, and her murderous aura split into eleven strands, transforming into palms that chased after and crushed these clones!

Just as the Heavenly Robe was removed and the protection was lost, a Celestial Devil suddenly tore through the void and revealed its true form behind 'Yang Ying'!

This was a demon lord standing four zhang tall, seemingly sculpted from black mud. His body was covered in armor and scales, with bird wings, dragon claws, rhinoceros hooves, bull horns, red hair, three heads, and six arms. In the center was a fierce-looking King Kong, on his left shoulder a wolf's head, on his right a bird's head, and a tiger's face on his chest. Besides the six arms extending from his shoulders and back, each wielding Golden Brick, a long spear, a thunder seal, a magic sword, and a talisman flag, he was none other than Li Fan Tai Su in his full transformation form as the Revered Heavenly Demon!

Seizing the opportunity to use the Gui Xu Dao Yi to bait out the protective aura, Li Fan pounced on 'Yang Ying' like a thunderbolt! He smashed its head with a brick, tore off its arms, and raised his long spear high! A spear pierced through its body, pinning this 'Non-Thing' to the ground! Then, without a sound, he unleashed six arms! A furious barrage of punches, like pounding meat paste or smashing tomatoes, completely shattered 'Yang Ying's' human form!

Qianchun and Han Jiu knelt on the ground with their mouths wide open, their "ah ah ah" sounds blocked in their throats, emitting only soft, mosquito-like screams, as they were splattered with blood.

The Demon Lord remained silent, punching, clawing, tearing, smashing with bricks and slashing with swords, sparing no inch of flesh, organs, or bones, brutally beating them into a bloody pulp without stopping!

In that instant of success, Li Fan unleashed the full power of his Tai Su Dao Body, delivering hundreds of powerful punches, yet it still wasn't enough!

"Bang!" He got punched.

A woman's delicate wrist emerged from the carcass and suddenly delivered a punch that pierced through the six arms of the Revered Heavenly Demon, shattering the head of the wrathful King Kong in the very center!

The enormous Demon Lord froze for a moment, and then hundreds of women's arms, like the tentacles of sea anemones, burst forth from the pile of minced meat. Just as they had been shattered by the chaotic punches, they were now returned to them in their original form! Hundreds of arms retaliated like a storm, smashing the three heads and six arms of the Revered Heavenly Demon into dust and ashes! This revealed Li Fan's true form, encased within the Heavenly Demon's torso and covered in ice armor!

"Crimson Eyes!!"

Li Fan's brow furrowed in anger, and with a sweep of crimson light, he severed a piece of the arm that was rushing towards him!

However, his movements faltered, and then his lower body was pulled by an arm, his neck twisted, breaking his spine and snapping his neck! Crimson Eyes was also twisted to the other side!

"Phew--ha--hahahaha! I finally caught you, you brat!"

Like a blood-soaked figure, 'Yang Ying' was reborn from a mass of flesh at the center of those anemone-like tentacles, laughing wickedly, clutching a blood-stained infant in her hand.

On the other side, a phantom image of a night-blooming cereus flashed between Li Fan's brows, his neck having been snapped. Instantly, his pupils regained their clarity, and with a snap, he twisted his neck back in place. His Crimson Eyes swept across, severing 'Yang Ying's' arm. As he opened his mouth to suck back the blood infant, he charged forward, his claws tearing open 'Yang Ying's' internal abdomen!

"Die--!"

Then Li Fan was stunned.

Yang Ying's abdomen was empty; there was no core such as the Primordial Nascent Soul Stage in her dantian.

Not in the Divine Court? Nor in the Dantian? Then how does one control the Qi of Heaven and Earth? The core is actually...

Tai Chi Qiankun

Tai Su Qiankun

Qiankun Flying Dragon Sword

Li Fan suddenly looked up at the sky above, where Black and White Evil Qi converged and condensed into the eye of a storm.

"Hehe," Yang Ying chuckled softly, gently placing her hands on Li Fan's chest.

"I am the universe, I am the world itself!"

"Boom--!"

The force of the Pifeng Biyue Palm erupted, sending Li Fan flying a hundred feet away, like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the grass.

Yang Ying was also severely damaged and could not immediately finish off the enemy. She stood still, waiting for the scattered flesh and blood around her, along with the malevolent energy that had been drawn away by the clone, to reassemble.

Li Fan's face flashed three times, and he regained his senses. He coughed up blood, got up from the ground, took out a gourd, and drank a mouthful of pills.

The Gui Xu Dao Yi were badly damaged, the three flowers had withered and perished, and magical treasures were scattered all over the ground. The Divine Court was filled with lamentations. The Blood Infant and the Tai Su Dao Body were all beaten black and blue, and their complaints were endless...

However, these goods didn't die, so it's not a big problem! System, refresh the Three Flowers!

'Three Flowers Gather at the Top resets, consuming 3600 points of mood cap; current mood: 19k/20.9k'

... I was hoping to make a small profit, but this time I've completely lost everything...

Moreover, although the 'core' has been probed, but...

Li Fan swallowed hard, looking at the malevolent storm swirling in the sky.

Indeed, this is the true Dao of Heaven and Earth without limit. Both evil energy and spiritual energy are manifestations of energy. Once you grasp the principle of manipulation, many things are interconnected.

If he remembers correctly, back then, when Zhang Jiugao of Ink Bamboo Mountain took drugs and reached the Nascent Soul Stage level, the Qi of the Qiankun Flying Dragon Sword could be transformed into a dragon-shaped entity. It seems that cultivators at the Transformation Stage can not only use Qiankun to transform all things, but also achieve the transformation between the illusory and the real.

No wonder this 'Non-Thing Yang Ying' in front of me is so hard to kill. Because neither the 'antelope' nor 'Yang Ying' is its true form at all!

Yang Ying's true form is in the sky!

That storm of yin and yang energy is its true form!

The humanoid figure before them was merely a puppet manifesting malevolent energy! Moreover, it was a Divine Transformation level puppet proficient in Emei Daoist arts, making it incredibly difficult to defeat!

However, now is not the time to hesitate, because although 'Yang Ying' has not yet fully recovered her skin and flesh, she has already put on the Heavenly Robe. If we delay any longer, she will be fully revived!

"Hey! Nan Ying! What are you wearing?! Is this it?! Keep going, you son of a bitch!"

Upon hearing "Nan Ying," the other party reacted like a mad dog, glaring at him and lunging forward again!

"Nan Ying! I swear on you! Nan Xin is much prettier than you, you boring, gossipy old woman! You wicked wretch who slaughtered your fellow disciples! You son who's born without a mother! XXX! XXXX!"

Li Fan cursed loudly, spat out a sword pellet called "Frost Stone," and turned to flee using sword magic.

"Shut up--! Cloud Hair Condensing Peak Sword Qi! Zuifeng Ganue!"

Yang Ying flew into a rage, made a hand seal, and unleashed a barrage of swords, like countless mountain peaks, from the ground and the sky, blocking Li Fan's escape route!

At first glance, it was as if the heavens and earth had transformed into a colossal beast with white upper jaw and black lower jaw, ready to bite down. And these sharp teeth were merely sword energy the size of mountain peaks—no, Sword Essence transformed, resembling a grand formation, with malevolent energy overflowing the heavens and earth!

Although Li Fan's sword control technique was honed over time and he wouldn't be hit by such a move, when the 'Frost Stone' Sword Light fled from this baleful sword formation, the sword pellet clearly let out a mournful cry, obviously tainted by the baleful energy, its speed noticeably slowed and heavy. Meanwhile, 'Yang Ying' behind him charged straight at him with her escape technique, and it looked like she was about to kill him!

So Li Fan simply stopped the Sword Light abruptly, and at the same time, he flipped his hands and drew the Golden Dragon White Star sword. He then aimed his twin swords at Yang Ying, who had chased after him and was about to unleash the same old palm strike at his face!

"Taiyin Haoguang Sword Technique!"

"Pifeng Biyue Palm!"

The silver sword lightning released by Li Fan's twin swords collided with the black and white palm strikes unleashed by Yang Ying's twin palms. Silver lightning flashed, black and white light shone brightly! The three colors of black, white and silver flashed dazzlingly in the sky and earth! The surging Dao Breath and evil power roared and collided! Faintly, Li Fan's Taiyin Sword Art at the Nascent Soul Realm stage actually suppressed the palm wave of the demon god!

Fortunately, his most powerful and energy-consuming instant-kill technique was still effective, and his lightning magic countered the evil energy, giving him a slight advantage in the clash of energy waves. However, with a power level difference, it was still too much of a stretch!

The astonishing consumption of Dao power by the Taiyin Sword Art was secondary! Even though Li Fan could grit his teeth and maintain his True Essence by dismantling the Returning Void while fighting desperately, the sword technique also greatly damaged his primordial spirit, not to mention that he was borrowing the sword power of the Golden Dragon White Star! Now Li Fan could see that his newly refreshed Divine Court Three Flowers were withering away almost in the blink of an eye!

"Aaaaaah! We've lost a fortune! System—refresh! Aaaaaah!"

'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top resets, consuming 3600 points of mood cap; current mood is 17.3k/17.3k'

The Taiyin Sword Light paused for a moment, then erupted again!

"What! How could this be!"

"Holy crap, two shots and you still can't kill me?! You bastard, you're dead?!"

"Boom--!"

A silver snake flashed! The thunderous sword force shattered Yang Ying's palm strike! It swept back, destroying her protective protective armor and turning her entire humanoid body into flames! It swept everything away, extinguishing everything completely!

"Hiss..."

To be on the safe side, Li Fan went all out, maintaining the Taiyin Sword Art and exhausting his reset Three Flowers skill. He completely annihilated Yang Ying before stopping his attacks.

The Golden Dragon White Star swords were steaming hot, almost as red-hot as branding irons. At the same time, the sword's blade was tainted by the surrounding baleful energy, leaving unsightly spots and patterns. But Li Fan couldn't put them into the sword case yet.

This move only destroyed one 'puppet'. The size of the evil aura vortex in the sky was only half of what it was at the beginning. There were still so many 'Non-Thing' bones and flesh and the overflowing evil aura around. In a little while, new flesh and blood would probably gather to form 'Yang Ying' again.

Li Fan is now at his wit's end. He probably can only break the deadlock by using the Taiyin Haoguang Sword Technique to forcefully disperse the evil energy storm in the sky.

Once the Golden Dragon White Star can't hold on any longer, we'll have to use the Moon Soul. If the Moon Soul can't hold on either, then this time, things might really go wrong... Sigh, but thankfully, we can still use the system to continue farming for the Three Flowers...

'Warning! System urgently offline!'

... Holy crap, that's awesome! They're never reliable when it really matters...

Wait, emergency shutdown? Could it be...?

"Tsk, another failure. They're all idiots... I told you to be more cautious and not rush into a breakthrough... Seriously, what a waste of all these years of my hard work..."

Although Li Fan's Divine Sense contained nothing, his naked eyes clearly saw a short, chubby Daoist boy wearing an Emei Daoist robe, sitting on a gourd larger than himself, flying to the center of the storm's eye.

The gourd was also black and white, yin and yang in color. As the Daoist boy made a hand seal and pointed, a storm of evil energy gathered, and the mess of flesh and bones on the ground, as well as the sword marks on the ice glacier, all emitted a dense evil energy, which was sucked into the gourd.

This guy... is he a Dao Lord? Or something even higher...?

Li Fan hesitated, about to sheathe his sword and bow, when he saw the young Daoist casually flick his wrist twice, sending the heads of the kneeling Qianchun and Han Jiu flying as if he were just flicking two fleas.

Li Fan knew then that there was nothing more to say.

He immediately used his escape technique, turned around and ran away. When he landed, he found himself inexplicably in front of the Daoist boy.

"Hu Barbarians?" The fat Daoist boy calculated with his fingers, glanced at Li Fan, and said, "I hate Hu Barbarians the most."

In a flash, Li Fan saw the young Daoist priest casually gesture and be cut in two, his body falling onto the grass.

Then the young Daoist priest, resting his chin on his hand, watched as the gourd absorbed all the Qiankun Sha Qi, then stretched out his waist and flew away on the gourd.

Li Fan feigned death for a while longer, then his pupils twitched. He braced himself on his arms, put the Golden Dragon White Star into his sword box, and crawled to reattach his lower body. When he looked back at the Divine Court, he almost vomited blood.

Damn it! What a huge loss! All three flowers have withered! So the Dao Body is dead! The Fuli Demon Wolf is dead!

Damn it! System, quickly restore the three-flower blush!

System?

... fucked

"No wonder I felt uneasy. You actually have more than one life? What kind of sorcery is this?"

In an instant, Li Fan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He looked up and saw the fat Daoist boy riding a large yin-yang gourd, floating in front of him, calculating with his fingers.

"Senior, please wait! I am Li Datang, a disciple of Penglai!" Li Fan took a deep breath and hurriedly took out his jade pendant. "I am here on the orders of the sect leader to infiltrate the Hu Barbarians Royal Court..."

"So it really is someone from the Zhenzhen Palace..." The young Daoist waved his hand, took the jade pendant to examine it, then shrugged, "... But I hate manifesting the most."

Li Fan was then struck on the head with a flick of his finger and died instantly.

Gonggong died this time.

Yes, Gonggong's primordial spirit died.

Moreover, this time the fat Daoist boy wasn't in a hurry to leave. He stood there with his arms crossed and waited. Sure enough, after a while, he saw Li Fan's head come back to life and clapped in amazement.

"Wow! This sorcery is powerful! Just who are you? And how many lives do you have left to live?"

Li Fan sat on the ground, coldly looking at the other party, "I am honored by your appreciation, senior. You have killed two of my lives. We can be considered acquaintances through fighting. Shouldn't we exchange names now?"

The young Daoist thought for a moment, then nodded, smiled, and bowed, saying, "The benevolent and compassionate Xuan Girl of the Nine Heavens, who saves the world, bestows blessings, and pardons sins, is my humble Daoist, Canglong, also known as one of the Three Elders of Emei."

"So it's the Azure Dragon Immortal Lord, I've long admired your name." Li Fan cupped his hands and smiled at him, "Xuan Girl of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Ruyi True Lord..."

Canglong's expression suddenly turned fierce.

"... Great Celestial Venerable! People call you Father!"

Li Fan roared and swung his hands out.

But he discovered that his 'hands' were gone.

His hands, now severed at the bowl, fall into the hands of the Azure Dragon Immortal Lord.

The latter stared at him and said, word by word, "It seems that I still hate your Beichen Sword Sect the most."

Li Fan, despite having both arms severed, grinned at him.

Canglong frowned, looked down at the severed arm he had broken into his hand. In one severed hand, he held a plate, and in the other hand, he held a bell.

'The door has been activated.'

In the same instant, a flash of purple light appeared, and the Azure Dragon Immortal Lord vanished.

'The bell is damaged.'

'Dog Frisbee, damaged'

'Unknown source of interference has disappeared'

'The regional deviation value has increased sharply. Please evacuate immediately.'

'Holy crap! Why is the screen suddenly flooded with alerts?!'

'Li Fan! Are you still alive?'

"... Not dead yet..." Li Fan slumped to the ground, using his internal energy to stop the bleeding. He looked up at the gourd that had fallen to the ground and rolled to his side. "They're probably close to losing everything... probably..."
