“What the hell just happened? Some idiot actually blew up the windows of his own car!”
“Haha! That cracked me up, a perfectly good Porsche, just like that, ruined!”
No sooner had Yi Wansu left than the martial arts experts lurking in the nearby woods and buildings couldn’t help but start mocking.
A martial artist who can’t even control his own Qi Force wants to join in the fun here.
“Hmph! Lucky that stupid bitch is gone. Otherwise, staying here, she’d most likely have to leave her life behind today!”
The martial arts family experts were enjoying their own witty remarks so much that they thankfully didn’t realize Yi Wansu hadn’t heard them.
Otherwise, just for those words alone, they would have been enough to send them to meet Yama.
“Damn, why isn’t it dark yet? I feel like the commotion inside the demolition area has died down! Have the experts from Tianji Pavilion already dealt with the Evil Cult?”
“Impossible! The Evil Cult is so powerful. If Tianji Pavilion had resolved it that quickly, then why the hell have we been waiting for so many years?”
“However, they might have just strengthened the seals a bit. Big brother, do we still have to wait until it gets dark?”
All the martial arts experts were releasing their senses towards the demolition area to sense what was inside, only to find that the aura of death that had been fluctuating before had weakened significantly, leaving just a faint trace of it.
In the northeast direction of the demolition area, the steward of the Ancient Martial Liu Family, Liu Tianxiong, frowned and glanced inside the area, coldly saying, “No good! We can’t wait anymore. If we wait until it’s dark, the crowd gathered here will only get larger, and our chances will be slimmer. Order the brothers to start the operation according to the original plan!”
In the Southwest of the demolition area, Zhou Dehong, the head of the hidden Zhou Family, also spoke up, “Pass on my command, everyone start the operation immediately!”
Boom!
Boom!
Ye Fan and Yi Wansu, along with Pang Hai and others, had left no more than five minutes before the martial arts experts hidden around, as if by some agreement, began to move simultaneously from all directions towards the core area of the demolition site.
But not five seconds later, screams began to emanate from the demolition area!
“Ah! Damn, what’s going on, why is there a smell of chili in this dust? My eyes, I can’t see!”
“My nostrils, why are my nostrils starting to rot?”
“It’s poison… Damn it, this dust is poisonous, the leaves are poisonous, even the stones on the ground are poisonous…”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
In just a moment, the outskirts of the demolition area began to echo with screams one after another.
Within moments, at least dozens of martial artists fell to the ground, including experts in the Grandmaster Realm and even higher-ranking masters in the Martial Venerable Realm, all heavily poisoned and instantly losing their combat effectiveness.
These toxins, of course, had been laid down by Ye Fan before he left!
Just a simple few dozen poison formations had already eradicated a small portion of the martial arts family experts.
“Which morally bankrupt jerk set up these poison formations here?”
The families charging behind, upon seeing the martial artists ahead being directly eroded by the poison until only half their bodies remained, became extremely cautious, all halting at the outskirts, not daring to proceed rashly.
“This is probably Tianji Pavilion’s doing! Just now, they were the only ones who went into the demolition area… Inside, they must have already taken action against the Evil Cult, but the good stuff, they surely haven’t taken yet. Otherwise, they’d have no reason to set up these poison formations here!”
“Right, exactly! It must be so. Everyone be careful, hurry up and rush in. Whoever gets to the front first gets the loot, come on, hurry!”
Whoosh whoosh!
“`
The Martial Arts Families gathered at the perimeter, despite witnessing so many of their own sacrifices, were so captivated by the fragments near the Evil Cult that they could not care less, and once again gathered their subordinates, recklessly charging forward.
In the Northeast direction, Liu Tianxiong had brought with him over a hundred Martial Arts Experts, most of whom were above the Martial Master Realm in terms of strength.
However, after being continuously ambushed by the Poison Formation, half of his men had already died, and among the remaining twenty or thirty experts, some were also invaded by the poison, greatly reducing their strength.
“Boss! Should we keep pushing forward? Most of our brothers have been killed or injured, and who knows what other methods Tianji Pavilion has prepared up ahead? Even if we make it to the very front and find the Divinity Fragment, with so many Martial Arts Families eyeing us from behind, it’s not certain that we’ll have the chance to protect it!”
“Yeah! Boss, should we retreat?”
Even the Evil Cult and the Fragments were not seen, and with most of the people who had come already dead, those Martial Arts Experts from the Liu Family who had come along were no longer very confident.
“Retreat? Retreat my ass! Have you forgotten what the head of the family said before we came? If we don’t get the Fragment this time, none of us will live to return, so keep charging in!” Liu Tianxiong glanced back.
Barely reaching Martial Emperor Level, Liu Tianxiong could naturally sense that there were still many Martial Arts Experts behind them, constantly watching the Liu Family’s movements.
Once the Liu Family succeeded, those Martial Arts Families behind them would definitely make a move against the Liu Family.
But now, with so many of the Liu Family sacrificed and nearly reaching the core area of the demolition, how could Liu Tianxiong bear to give up?
Finally, after the Liu Family had sacrificed several more experts, they broke through the Poison Formation. The core area was right in front of them when suddenly a figure appeared before Liu Tianxiong and his men.
“Ye Fan?”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, Liu Tianxiong’s heart clenched tightly, and he instinctively retreated two steps, grabbing a subordinate to shield himself.
Although Liu Tianxiong’s actions were despicable, it was precisely such a move that saved his life.
But the subordinate that was grabbed was not so lucky!
Thud!
His chest was directly pierced by a sword from the “Ye Fan” in front of him, killing him instantly.
This Ye Fan was naturally just the paper Puppet Corpse that Ye Fan had arranged to be there. However, Ye Fan had strengthened them with some Prohibitions and secret techniques from the Puppet Corpse Sect, endowing them with not insignificant combat power.
“It’s Ye Fan! Damn it, Ye Fan has come back!” In the Southeast direction, those Martial Arts Experts who had just broken through the Poison Formation and taken a breath of relief also spotted the “Ye Fan”.
Southwest direction!
Northwest direction!
In the core area around the demolition site, Martial Arts Experts approaching from every direction were as spooked as if they’d seen ghosts during the day, all encountering “Ye Fan”.
Even quite a few Martial Arts Families had several capable subordinates killed by the Puppet Corpse Ye Fan!
Ye Fan was everywhere, and with an ancient aura beginning to surge within the demolition area, enveloping everyone, it felt as if they couldn’t fully exert their Martial Arts abilities!
The whole scene began to turn eerie!
Everyone was killing like madmen, seeing shadows at every turn, and even those families vying for treasures started tearing each other apart!

The scene became utterly chaotic…
The weaker Liu Family, Zhou Family, in front of the real Martial Arts powerhouses, were completely outmatched, and within just a few minutes, another large group of Martial Arts Expert families were slaughtered, falling on the plaza of the core area…
By then, seven or eight families had finally approached the position of the ancient well at the very core!
Of course, it had collapsed into a huge pit, and black fog was billowing out from within…
“The Evil Cult is right here, the Divinity Fragment must be below! Everyone, charge!”
Within the crowd, someone roared, and all eyes greedily swept toward the pit below, their attention fixated on the ancient box inside…
