The old man's expression changed, and he realized something was wrong.
While he was stunned, the young man suddenly clenched his fist and threw a punch!
"Presumptuous!"
The old man reacted quickly, immediately letting out a roar, and unleashed the terrifying power of the Immortal Venerable Realm Eighth Stage!
The young man was instantly thrown away by this terrifying force. During the flight, his face turned pale, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, a figure appeared behind the old man without anyone noticing.
And this figure was none other than Gui Ming.
The old man seemed to sense something; his pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong aura of death instantly filled his heart.
Pfft!
A hand, as stiff as withered wood, pierced through the old man's body in an instant, still clutching his heart.
At this moment, the heart was still beating, and the blood vessels on its surface were clearly visible, making it look extremely horrifying.
The old man's pupils widened, his eyes filled with disbelief. "How... how is this possible!"
The young man stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the old man, and smiled, "Master, you didn't expect this, did you? Gui Ming has become my vengeful ghost."
The old man stared intently at the young man, his eyes filled with rage. "You... you bastard!"
The young man said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. I'm just too envious of this Divergent Flame. But I know you, Master, can't give it to me, so this is all I can do."
The old man's face was contorted with rage; if looks could kill, the young man would have been dead a thousand times over, no, tens of thousands of times.
The young man looked at the old man and smiled, "Master, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, after you die, I will definitely turn you into a vengeful ghost."
"Ah!"
The old man roared, his eyes wide open, his face filled with resentment and boundless rage, before his head lolled to the side and he died.
Actually, rather than saying the old man died from a heart failure, it would be more accurate to say he was driven to his death by anger.
As a powerful Immortal Venerable, even without a heart, one would not die immediately; in fact, one could regenerate one's heart.
This is the power of Immortal Venerable!
Therefore, it's more reasonable to say that the old man died of anger.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, anyone would be furious if they encountered a scoundrel like that young man.
"Puff!"
The young man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "Damn it, as expected of my master, just the aura he unleashed was enough to seriously injure me."
As he spoke, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face. "But Master, you still died at your disciple's hands, hahaha..."
The entire hall was filled with the laughter of young people.
A moment later, the young man looked at the Divergent Flame in his hand, his face full of excitement, "My darling, you're mine now."
As he spoke, he directly merged the Divergent Flame into his own body.
boom!
The moment the Divergent Flame entered the body, an incredibly powerful force erupted.
At this moment, the youthful energy was surging wildly!
Immortal Saint Realm!
Immortal Saint Realm Seventh Level!
Immortal Saint Realm Ninth Level Peak!
Immortal Venerable Realm First Stage!
He actually broke through to the first level of the Immortal Venerable Realm First Stage!
That's outrageous!
This is enough to demonstrate the power of that Divergent Flame!
Feeling the power within him, the young man took a deep breath, his face full of enjoyment, "This feeling of being full of power is amazing."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the old man's corpse and smiled, "Master, thank you for giving me such a powerful Divergent Flame. In gratitude, I will refine you into a vengeful ghost to accompany me forever, hahahaha!"
Two hours later.
Lin Fan arrived in front of the main hall, glanced at it briefly, and then swung his sword.
Bang!
The massive gate of the main hall was as soft as tofu, instantly cleaved into countless pieces by this sword strike.
Lin Fan remained expressionless as he stepped into the main hall and then looked up at the head of the table.
The young man sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked at Lin Fan. "You arrived quite quickly."
On the left and right sides of the young man stood his master and Gui Ming, respectively.
At this moment, the old man stood motionless, his eyes vacant, devoid of any life force, and one could even sense a chilling aura emanating from him.
Clearly, the old man had been transformed into a vengeful ghost by the young man.
Lin Fan glanced at the old man and Gui Ming, then looked at the young man, his brows furrowing and a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The young man slowly rose and smiled, "You've become Immortal Venerable in such a short time, aren't you surprised?"
Lin Fan's heart sank, and his face turned somewhat grim.
It wasn't because the young man's breakthrough to Immortal Venerable was embarrassing, but because he sensed the aura of Divergent Flame within the young man's body.
The youth has fused with the Purple Lightning Nether Flame!
This made Lin Fan very upset. He had gone through so much trouble to come here in search of the Divergent Flame, only to have someone else beat him to it.
How could he not be upset?
Liu Mengli said, "He hasn't fully refined the Purple Lightning Nether Flame, you still have a chance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Liu Mengli said, "He only integrated the Purple Lightning Nether Flame into his body, he didn't refine it, so you still have a chance."
After listening, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile, "That's good."
The young man then said, "I think you're a good kid. How about you come work for me?"
Lin Fan stared at the young man, his right hand gripping the Bloodthirst Sword tightly.
Buzz!
Nine flying swords swirled around him.
A terrifying sword aura swept across the entire world!
Seeing this, the smile on the young man's face gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference. "I gave you a chance, but you were useless."
As he spoke, he looked at Gui Ming and said, "Kill him!"
"Yes, sir!"
Gui Ming rasped, then took a step forward. In an instant, the terrifying power of Immortal Venerable Realm Fourth Stage swept out, and the entire palace trembled violently.
Lin Fan frowned, looking at Gui Ming with a solemn expression.
Immortal Venerable Realm Fourth Stage!
To be honest, he can't beat him!
Normally, he might have turned and run away, but now his bloodline is awakened.
His bloodline ignited his passion, urging him to fight Gui Ming!
Buzz!
The sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out!
Nine flying swords flew towards Gui Ming simultaneously!
So what if Immortal Venerable Realm Fourth Stage?
Lin Fan has never been afraid!
Just do it!
Facing the nine flying swords, Gui Ming suddenly struck out with his palm. The terrifying palm contained earth-shattering power, and the entire hall was instantly shattered!
Bang!
The terrifying shockwave instantly spread to hundreds of thousands of miles away, and the world trembled and collapsed violently, as if it were the end of the world.
The nine flying swords were sent flying by that palm strike!
Just then, a terrifying sword aura instantly locked onto Gui Ming. Lin Fan suddenly appeared above Gui Ming and decisively slashed down with his sword!
Immortal-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique!
"Roar!"
Gui Ming roared and stomped his right foot, unleashing boundless power!
Click!
Sword Intent shattered!
Lin Fan flew out like a broken kite, finally crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The gap between the Immortal Saint Realm and the Immortal Venerable Realm is like a chasm. To be honest, if Lin Fan wanted to defeat Gui Ming, it would be a huge challenge.
Disaster!
It's difficult!
Extremely difficult!
There's absolutely no way they can win!
