The situation on the scene instantly became tense.
Liu Yunqing snorted coldly and said indignantly, "Tuoba Lie, Sun Wuji, I gave you a chance before. Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me for being ruthless next."
As he finished speaking, he stepped forward and stomped heavily on the ground.
A powerful aura instantly stirred up a cloud of dust.
Sun Wuji stepped forward, laughing heartily and said, "Liu Yunqing, with that move, do you think you can still scare me? How much of your combat power is left?"
At these words, Liu Yunqing's face sank.
The effect of the aphrodisiac was erupting within him, and he could indeed feel his limbs becoming weak.
It was only because of his strong cultivation that he hadn't collapsed yet.
Some of the weaker Yunshan Sect members around them were already shouting and collapsing to the ground, gradually falling unconscious.
"As for him!"
Sun Wuji's gaze shifted to Chu Fan and he continued, "If you think his presence can turn the tide, then you are gravely mistaken!"
"Since we dared to do this, how could we not have something targeted at him?"
Liu Yunqing looked horrified and quickly glanced at Chu Fan.
At this moment, Chu Fan's throat moved, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Wuming!"
Liu Yunqing could not imagine what other schemes Sun Wuji and the others had devised to make the immensely powerful Chu Fan spit blood.
"Sect Master, I apologize!"
Qi Junhao suddenly spoke, and as he did, he quickly retreated and stood beside Sun Wuji.
His intentions were clear.
"Qi Junhao, you deserve to die!"
Liu Yunqing's bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Qi Junhao, as if he wanted to devour him.
He truly never expected that someone he had previously highly valued would collude with outsiders to scheme against Chu Fan, and at the same time, put the Yunshan Sect in danger.
"Wuming, can you still hold on?"
Liu Yunqing asked with great anxiety.
If their greatest pillar of support truly had a problem, the Yunshan Sect would be finished.
In their plan, Chu Fan was not just helping the Yunshan Sect obtain items within the secret realm; Liu Yunqing also intended to forge a connection with him and his backing forces afterward.
Chu Fan did not speak. Apart from a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, his expression showed no significant change.
"Liu Yunqing, out of consideration for your mercy earlier, we can spare the Yunshan Sect today!"
"We will take what was obtained within the secret realm!"
Tuoba Lie also stepped forward and said, staring at Chu Fan, "As for him, he must stay here today no matter what!"
"He dared to injure me, and there's no way he won't pay the price!"
Hearing the decision, Liu Yunqing quickly said, "Tuoba Lie, do me another favor, and all the items obtained within the secret realm are yours. Wuming will leave with me!"
"Impossible!"
Sun Wuji stated his stance with a firm tone, saying, "Your face, Sect Master Liu, and the items within the secret realm can only save the Yunshan Sect."
"No matter what it is, he cannot be allowed to leave!"
As individuals who walked the path of martial arts, they understood the principle of not letting a tiger return to the mountain all too well.
The two had already witnessed Chu Fan's strength.
They knew clearly that if they let Chu Fan leave today, after he dealt with the poison, it would be their own death knell.
Therefore, they had to seize the opportunity while Chu Fan was weakened to strike.
Liu Yunqing was in a difficult position.
He naturally understood Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji's reluctance to let a tiger return to the mountain.
However, he did not want to abandon Chu Fan.
Glancing at the Yunshan Sect members lying on the ground, Liu Yunqing took a deep breath. He was prepared to risk injury or even death to protect Chu Fan.
This was because he knew that Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji were both injured and their strength was greatly diminished.
Even though he had been affected by the aphrodisiac, he firmly believed that Chu Fan's formidable strength could temporarily suppress the other poison and carve a bloody path out.
Determined to fight to the death, Liu Yunqing took a deep breath and was about to step forward when his shoulder suddenly felt heavy.
He turned his head and saw Chu Fan's hand pressed onto his shoulder.
"You don't need to fight!"
Before Liu Yunqing could argue, Chu Fan walked past him and moved to the very front.
"If you want to kill me, you are not qualified!"
"Since you refuse the path to heaven, you barge into the gates of hell."
"Today, I shall fulfill your wish!"
After exchanging a glance, Sun Wuji and Tuoba Lie nodded in unison, preparing to engage Chu Fan in a good fight, as they knew very well how potent the poison Qi Junhao had given Chu Fan was.
An ordinary Grandmaster would have already collapsed by now.
Chu Fan's strength was great, and it was normal for him not to fall, but the two believed that he was merely putting up a brave front, feigning well-being to scare them away.
"Qi Junhao, you go test him!"
Tuoba Lie directly ordered Qi Junhao to act, as in his eyes, Qi Junhao had always been merely a pawn.
"I..."
"What 'I'?"
"Do you still want to stay in the Tiger Roar Hall?"
Tuoba Lie glared and pressured Qi Junhao.
Qi Junhao hesitated, thinking that he had already betrayed the Yunshan Sect. Without the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Sect, he had nowhere else to go. Otherwise, he would inevitably face retaliation from Liu Yunqing, so he could only move towards Chu Fan.
"Qi Junhao, how dare you!"
Liu Yunqing furiously reprimanded him and was about to step forward to stop him, but the aphrodisiac was erupting, causing him to collapse to the ground after taking only two steps. As for the other members of the Yunshan Sect, they had all fainted on the ground.
Seeing Liu Yunqing fall, Qi Junhao no longer worried. He suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Chu Fan.
At this moment, he not only wanted to retaliate against Chu Fan but also knew that by defeating him, he would also be handing over his loyalty token to Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji, making them value him more.
*Bang!*
A muffled sound echoed as Qi Junhao's fist slammed heavily onto Chu Fan's chest.
"Huh?"
Seeing that his full-force strike couldn't send Chu Fan flying, Qi Junhao couldn't help but be stunned.
"Did you not eat?"
Chu Fan suddenly laughed.
His smile made Qi Junhao's scalp tingle, and a sense of danger suddenly arose in his heart.
As he was preparing to retreat, his wrist was grabbed by Chu Fan.
"You too, you didn't cherish the chance to live, so I shall fulfill you too!"
As he spoke, Qi Junhao let out a piercing scream, and under the horrified gaze of Tuoba Lie and the others, his remaining arm, as if it contained a hidden bomb, exploded with a roar.
The immense pain of a person completely losing both arms was something only Qi Junhao knew.
"Attack!"
"Kill him!"
After recovering from their shock, Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji simultaneously commanded in low voices.
They hadn't expected the poison to have such a minor effect on Chu Fan.
However, they firmly believed that the poison must be affecting Chu Fan's combat ability. It was just that because they hadn't fought yet, their blood and qi circulation wasn't fast, and the medicinal effects weren't fully dispersed. They planned to use their subordinates' attacks to increase Chu Fan's blood and qi circulation.
The members of the Tiger Roar Hall and the Hundred Flowers Sect all lunged towards Chu Fan.
These people were as fragile as weeds in front of Chu Fan.
Looking at this scene, Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji's eyes widened further and further.
Their hearts were filled with questions.
They couldn't understand how Chu Fan, who was clearly poisoned, could still appear as if nothing was wrong.
