Ye Zhong twisted the handle of the knife within his flesh, aiming to sever Ye Fan’s heart and other organs!
That way, when it was time to remove his own heart, it would be a bit more convenient!
However, to Ye Zhong’s frustration, why did his arm feel so awkward?
Ye Fan was clearly standing right in front of him. Logically, by extending the dagger out, it should simply require a stir in Ye Fan’s chest and it would be done.
But at this moment, Ye Zhong felt as if his arm had twisted in reverse, taking on a hooked position, as if he were standing behind Ye Fan, reaching around to his front, and coming back in a reverse hook to dig into Ye Fan’s chest cavity.
Incredibly awkward!
This damn thing, if Ye Fan weren’t standing in front of him, Ye Zhong would feel as if he were digging out his own heart.
Digging out his own heart?
As this thought surfaced in his mind, Ye Zhong suddenly saw the fresh blood dripping from his wrist!
And then there was…
A sudden, piercing pain from his own chest!
Ye Zhong looked down in disbelief at his chest, and his eyes nearly exploded!
Fuck!
Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire
What kind of magic is this?
Isn’t this me digging out my own heart?
Moreover, Ye Zhong realized his position was now completely wrong!
He had clearly been standing in front of Ye Fan, but now Ye Fan had disappeared from his sight, and instead, Ye Zhong found himself standing where Ye Fan had been standing moments before.
The dagger, which should have penetrated Ye Fan’s heart, was held by Ye Zhong himself, stirring inside his own chest!
Digging out his own heart?
If he hadn’t experienced it himself, Ye Zhong would have never believed it!
What the hell was Ye Fan?
How did he manage it?
He had clearly sealed all of Ye Fan’s vitality and Qi Force, so how did Ye Fan still have the strength to struggle free?
And to employ such an absurd method to escape from his grasp and make him dig out his own heart?
Was it just that phrase “Change of Seasons”?
Did it really possess such power?
Ye Zhong was about to go insane!
His heart had been pierced, and he had even stirred it a few times within his chest; Ye Zhong’s heart had suffered a severe injury. What’s more terrifying was the fear in his heart. At that moment, Ye Zhong could no longer care about his image; he hastily wanted to withdraw and at the same time tried to pull the dagger out from his heart.
Ye Zhong was already a Martial Saint Realm powerhouse, and although his heart had taken a severe hit, reducing his strength surely!
But having reached the peak strength of a Martial Saint First Rank, even discounting his reduced capacities, he could still overpower Ye Fan if he moved quickly enough.
Ye Zhong harbored this thought, and naturally, so did Ye Fan.
The surging golden Qi of the Nine Dragon Patterns had won Ye Fan one final chance, and how could he possibly waste it?
All of Ye Fan’s Vitality Force had indeed been sealed, but as the Nine Dragon Patterns on Ye Fan’s chest pulsed, not only did they heal his wounds, they also rapidly removed all the Prohibitions on Ye Fan’s body.
So, to an onlooker, Ye Fan still appeared to be under Ye Zhong’s control, but in reality, Ye Fan was now free to move as he pleased.
But Ye Fan had been enduring, waiting for this last opportunity to take action!
Finally, he had succeeded!
…
Seeing Ye Zhong attempting to withdraw and remove the dagger, Ye Fan teleported, suddenly appearing in front of him with a devilish smile, and smacked his hand down on the dagger held in Ye Zhong’s hand!
His aim was to drive the dagger completely through Ye Zhong’s heart!
As long as Ye Zhong’s heart was thoroughly pierced, even if he possessed great abilities to sustain his life, maintaining his strength at the Martial Saint Realm would be nearly impossible!
And once Ye Zhong’s strength fell below the Martial Saint Realm, then with Ye Fan’s trump cards, he would have a complete chance to kill Ye Zhong outright!
“Hmph! You little beast, looks like I indeed let my guard down too much and underestimated you… Die! Scoundrel!”
Ye Zhong was utterly enraged!
At this moment, he could no longer care about the dagger in his chest!
Releasing the dagger’s handle, one hand blocked Ye Fan’s attack, while the other swung a powerful blow at Ye Fan standing before him!
Boom!
This was Ye Zhong’s ultimate move, the culmination of his strongest Martial Saint Realm strength, his final killing technique!
Ye Zhong was acutely aware that if he couldn’t kill Ye Fan with one strike in the current battle, given the severe injury to his heart, he might not stand a chance against Ye Fan’s ghostly tactics once they were fully unleashed.
The powerful Qi Force crushed forward, and although the Ye Fan before him tried desperately to dodge, he ultimately failed to escape. Under the crushing force of Ye Zhong’s Qi, he crumbled into a heap of debris!
It seemed as though the air was filled with the scorched smell of burning paper.
Is he dead?
Ye Zhong let out a sigh of relief internally, but he was also somewhat puzzled!
Didn’t Ye Fan possess the Nine Dragons Yang Meridian?
His blood contained such tremendous energy; even if Ye Fan couldn’t fully mobilize the power of his blood, it shouldn’t have been so easy for him to be destroyed by himself, right?
No!
Something was very wrong!
Ye Zhong furrowed his brow as he looked at the paper floating in the void, his mind racing. In an instant, he thought of a terrifying forbidden technique!
“Not good! It’s a Puppet Corpse!”
Ye Zhong knew that in Xiangxi, there was a Puppet Corpse Sect that could use paper to change form and simulate a person’s actions.
Damn it!
Ye Zhong’s scalp tingled the moment he realized that what he had just shattered wasn’t Ye Fan after all!
Move!
He had to move!
With this feint, Ye Fan used the Puppet Corpse to distract him, the final blow was definitely going to be aimed at him!
But…
It was already too late!
“He he! Second Grandpa seems to be quite knowledgeable, aren’t you?”
A sinister voice rose from within Ye Zhong’s embrace!
Puchi!
The next moment came a crisp sound!
The Ye Fan in his arms reached out, grabbed a dagger, and plunged it straight through Ye Zhong’s heart!
Even Ye Fan’s arm had pierced through Ye Zhong’s chest.
“Ah!”
The intense pain almost made Ye Zhong pass out!
Boom!
Ye Zhong flicked his fingers, once again employing Martial Arts Qi to blast the Ye Fan in his arms into fragments!
As expected, the Ye Fan who had thrust the dagger through his back was still just a Puppet Corpse!
Ye Fan did not have many belongings, but he had a plethora of Paper Men!
After reaping the benefits of the Paper Men’s actions, Ye Fan had cut out hundreds of them, placing them on his body with Runes and Forbidden Techniques at the ready for a critical moment!
Little did he imagine that today, at such a crucial time, it would save his life!
At this moment, Ye Fan stood ten meters away from Ye Zhong, staring at him intensely!
After being injured, Ye Zhong’s bodily functions had sharply declined from acting consecutively twice.
Especially after the second time, when his body was completely penetrated by the dagger, which was like a deflating balloon, a large part of his Martial Arts Qi leaked out from the wound in his heart when he tried to use it again.
Ye Zhong’s face was solemn and a bit pale.
Huff, huff!
Ye Zhong’s wrist flicked rapidly, using Martial Arts Qi to temporarily seal the wound in his heart, and he glared coldly at Ye Fan, “Little beast! Do you think that by piercing through my heart, you can really escape from me unscathed?”
A chilling aura emerged from Ye Zhong, seemingly preparing to use his trump card!
Ye Fan took a step back, protecting his grandfather and Pang Hai among others.
At this time, Ye Fan, on the contrary, became very calm, “Heh! Of course, that’s not all…” Ye Fan snapped his fingers in the air, “Second Grandpa should be feeling quite dizzy right now, shouldn’t you? If the poison in Second Grandpa’s body acts up now, I suppose Second Grandpa’s strength should be reduced once more!”
“Ah?”
Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Ye Zhong’s head suddenly swayed, feeling a wave of nausea and dizziness coming over him again!
Puchi!
Ye Zhong couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of black blood, a clear sign of poisoning in his body!
“Poisoned? How is that possible? When did you have the opportunity to poison me?”
