They were almost scared to death!
As a large number of Myriad Manifestations into Dragon Spells entered their bodies.
Their skin crawled, and they were filled with terror, desperately trying to suppress the curses.
But these curses were planted by the supreme powerhouses of the Dragon clan, capable of eroding even fragments of Dao artifacts, let alone two mere ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors like them.
For a time.
The two men, like people suffering from a sudden illness, their bodies tensed abruptly, their legs stiffened, and black energy continuously emerged from them, while large chunks of flesh and blood rotted away, instantly turning into two pools of terrifying pus and blood.
This sudden turn of events stunned the other four ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors.
Especially Gao Sangui, the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from the Gao family.
His jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Ling Fan paid them no mind.
With a sweep of his hand, he grabbed at all the Dao artifact fragments indiscriminately.
He was well aware of how difficult it was to refine the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, so he absolutely could not let go of this excellent opportunity.
But when Ling Fan's hand fell upon these Dao artifact fragments.
He immediately felt like a three-year-old child trying to move an ancient divine mountain!
Each fragment here was thousands, even tens of thousands, of times larger than the fragment Ling Fan had obtained before!
It was extremely difficult for even a ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor to move them.
Let alone Ling Fan.
"Hmph, you dare to dream!"
Gao Sangui, the ninth-tier Heavenly Emperor from the Gao family, sneered and lunged at Ling Fan.
Ling Fan chuckled, his hand flashing with dark light, as if preparing to bestow a large portion of the Myriad Manifestations into Dragon Spells upon this elder from the Gao family.
Gao Sangui immediately flinched back in fear.
Seizing this opportunity, Ling Fan decisively abandoned more than half of the Dao artifact fragments, choosing three or four smaller ones. At the same time, the power of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal surged, and his two palms transformed into two sharp dragon claws. Just as Ling Fan had expected, as soon as he used the power of the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Seal, these Dao artifact fragments immediately felt countless times lighter, and he grabbed them into his hands.
Ling Fan was preparing to grab one or two more Dao artifact fragments.
But it was too late.
A strong gust of wind approached.
It turned out to be the young mistress Han from Qi Prefecture, who attacked in anger.
"Young Mistress Han, don't be so angry. Let's share the fortune! You guys have fun, and we'll meet again."
Ling Fan grinned.
And retreated decisively.
"You think you can leave?"
Young Mistress Han's expression was extremely cold.
"Heh heh, you want to keep me as your husband? I'll have to consider that. I'm busy now, we can discuss this issue next time."
"Oh, and I should return this set of Emperor Weapons to their rightful owners. I'm not someone who likes to take advantage of others."
"Explode!"
With Ling Fan's soft command.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The set of high-grade Emperor Weapons began to self-detonate one after another.
A single high-grade Emperor Weapon might not be much to these ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors.
But ten, twenty, thirty, or even over sixty of them, their self-detonation was something even ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors could not withstand!
The destructive aura surged.
And swept out with a roar.
Young Mistress Han was forced to give up pursuing Ling Fan.
It was unknown what method she used, but only over ten of these Emperor Weapons self-detonated, and the rest were retrieved by her.
Even so.
She was still heartbroken.
Looking at Ling Fan's retreating figure, her pretty face was icy cold.
...
"Hoo!"
On a desolate planet in the outer void of heaven.
Yan Xi let out a long sigh, her eyes wide open, still unable to recover from the shock.
"I still can't believe you actually managed to snatch a piece of meat from six ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors!"
"How many Dao artifact fragments did you get?"
Yan Xi asked.
"Four."
Ling Fan said, "I'll give you one, and you can study it slowly. It will be of great benefit to your future attempt to reach the Emperor Lord realm, or even to return to the Heavenly Venerate realm."
"You're going to give me one!"
Yan Xi was surprised and somewhat flattered.
After all, she knew the value of a Dao artifact fragment very well.
"I, Ling, am not stingy with my women. If I didn't need these Dao artifact fragments, what's stopping me from giving them all to you?"
Ling Fan generously gave one to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi's eyes immediately softened.
She leaned forward generously and pecked Ling Fan on the cheek.
Feeling the softness of her lips, Ling Fan couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
This woman was truly a vixen.
Without a word.
Ling Fan pounced like a hungry tiger.
He flipped over and pinned Yan Xi beneath him.
Another bout of passionate lovemaking ensued, a fierce battle.
It immediately added a touch of fragrant spring to the desolate outer void of heaven.
Extremely enchanting.
As they constantly ground and bumped against each other, their emotions soared higher and higher, layer by layer, until finally, with a bang, they exploded. Both of them felt their bodies become as light as feathers, floating and soaring.
Yan Xi seemed to have tasted something, and was still a little unsatisfied, so she insisted on pulling Ling Fan for several more rounds of passionate intimacy.
Finally, both of them were satisfied, lying side by side, with everything left unsaid.
"I have to leave."
Yan Xi stood up and said.
Ling Fan frowned slightly and said, "Leaving so soon? Why don't you just leave with me? Don't go back to the Tianyi Sect. I killed two ninth-tier Heavenly Emperors from the Tianyi Sect, and I'm afraid the Tianyi Sect will explode because of it! It might implicate you."
"It's fine. I'm a reincarnation of a Heavenly Venerate, and I'm highly valued by the Tianyi Sect. They won't do anything to me. Moreover, I can blame everything on you. No one knows your true identity."
Yan Xi said.
"I grew up in the Tianyi Sect since childhood, and I don't want to leave without a trace. Don't worry."
Ling Fan said, "What about your engagement with Gao Gan?"
Yan Xi said calmly, "I will have the Tianyi Sect cancel it. I am already your wife in all but name, so how could I possibly fancy Gao Gan? He is worlds apart from you."
Ling Fan said, "There's no need for that. Gao Gan and I have a three-month appointment. When I return this time, I will crush him like an ant. When he dies, the engagement will naturally cease to exist."
"Mm."
Yan Xi was about to leave.
Suddenly, she turned sideways and said, "Do you have a grudge against our Tianyi Sect?"
Ling Fan was stunned and said, "How did you find out?"
"If you wanted to seize the Dao artifact fragments, there was no need to risk killing those two Grand Elders," Yan Xi said, looking into Ling Fan's eyes.
"It's not exactly a grudge, just some old karma," Ling Fan said after thinking for a moment.
"Is it inconvenient to talk about it?" Yan Xi asked.
"Yes," Ling Fan scratched his head. "This matter is too important, truly of immense significance. So, I can't let you know for now, otherwise, it will implicate you. When the time is right, I will tell you everything about me."
"Mm."
Yan Xi did not press further.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Regardless, the Tianyi Sect has always been kind to me. Can you, for my sake, not be too ruthless? When I return this time, I will also take charge of the entire Tianyi Sect as soon as possible. This way, I can cooperate with you and help you get your revenge."
"This is the real reason you want to go back, isn't it?"
Ling Fan looked at Yan Xi seriously and said.
"This is also the main reason," Yan Xi said frankly.
"I am caught between you and the sect, and it is very difficult. But I cannot escape. In the end, I may still stand on your side, but I also hope that you will consider me and not harm the innocent."
"Alright."
Ling Fan nodded seriously.
