Chapter 544: Mobile Phone, Killing Game
The old Taoist Duan De was extremely shocked. He stared at the mobile phone in Ye Fan's hand, his eyes wide open, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"How is this possible? This is a communication device from the Star Domain of Eternal, how could it appear in your hands?" Duan De asked in a trembling voice.
Ye Fan was also stunned. He had never expected that this mobile phone, which he had casually picked up in the Ancient Forbidden Land, would actually be recognized by Duan De. This old Taoist was notoriously unscrupulous, but his knowledge was vast and profound.
"You recognize this thing?" Ye Fan asked cautiously.
"Of course I do!" Duan De's eyes flickered with a strange light. "This is a communication device from the Star Domain of Eternal, called a 'mobile phone.' I once saw it in an ancient ruin. The civilization of the Star Domain of Eternal is completely different from ours. They cultivate technology, not the Dao."
Ye Fan's heart stirred. He had long suspected that this mobile phone came from another world, but he never expected it to be from such a distant place.
"Where did you get this?" Duan De pressed.
"I found it in the Ancient Forbidden Land," Ye Fan said truthfully. "It was lying on the ground, covered in dust."
Duan De's expression changed slightly. "The Ancient Forbidden Land... that place is indeed mysterious. It is said that in ancient times, there were powerful beings from the Star Domain of Eternal who fell there."
As he spoke, Duan De reached out to take the mobile phone, but Ye Fan quickly withdrew his hand.
"Old Taoist, don't be in such a hurry. Let's talk first," Ye Fan said with a smile.
Duan De glared at him. "Kid, you're still on guard against me? I, Duan De, am a trustworthy person!"
Ye Fan almost laughed out loud. This old Taoist was famous for being unscrupulous. If he were trustworthy, then pigs could climb trees.
"Old Taoist, you said this thing is from the Star Domain of Eternal. What exactly is its use?" Ye Fan asked.
Duan De's eyes flickered. "The civilization of the Star Domain of Eternal is extremely advanced. They don't cultivate the Dao but instead study the principles of all things, creating all kinds of strange tools. This mobile phone can communicate across vast distances, even across different star domains."
Ye Fan was secretly shocked. To be able to communicate across star domains, this was truly a divine tool!
"But this mobile phone has no energy now, so it's basically useless," Duan De added, shaking his head. "Unless you can find a way to charge it."
"Charge it?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
"That's right, the tools of the Star Domain of Eternal all need energy to operate. They call it 'electricity,'" Duan De explained.
Ye Fan fell into thought. He had seen some strange symbols on the mobile phone, but he didn't understand what they meant.
"Kid, how about we make a deal?" Duan De suddenly said with a sly smile. "You give me this mobile phone, and I'll give you a secret technique."
Ye Fan immediately shook his head. "No deal."
"You..." Duan De was furious. "You don't even know what secret technique it is, and you're refusing?"
"No matter what secret technique it is, I'm not trading," Ye Fan said firmly. This mobile phone came from the Ancient Forbidden Land, and it might hold some important secret.
Duan De was so angry his beard bristled, but he had no way to deal with Ye Fan. This kid was too shrewd and not easily fooled.
"Forget it, forget it. Since you don't want to trade, I won't force you," Duan De waved his hand. "But I have to warn you, this mobile phone might bring you trouble. The Star Domain of Eternal is not a peaceful place."
Ye Fan nodded. He naturally understood this principle. Things from another world appearing in the Big Dipper Star Domain would inevitably attract the attention of various forces.
Just then, Ye Fan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he was being targeted by some terrifying existence.
"Not good!" Duan De's expression changed drastically. "There's a killing formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and countless runes lit up, forming a terrifying killing array that trapped the two of them inside.
"Who is it?" Ye Fan shouted coldly, the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Holy Spirit Sword appearing in his hand.
"Hehehe..." A strange laugh came from the void. "Ye Fan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
A figure slowly emerged from the void. It was a middle-aged man dressed in black, his face cold and fierce, exuding a powerful aura.
"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that today is your death day," the black-clad man said coldly.
Duan De's face was pale. "This is a killing formation from the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty! You are an assassin from the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty!"
The black-clad man was slightly surprised. "Old Taoist, you have good eyesight. Since you recognize my origin, you should know that no one who sees me today will leave alive."
Duan De broke out in a cold sweat. The Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty was one of the most mysterious and terrifying organizations in the Big Dipper Star Domain. They specialized in assassination and were extremely ruthless.
"Ye Fan, you've offended too many people. Someone has put a bounty on your head, and our Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty has accepted the job," the black-clad man said coldly.
Ye Fan's eyes turned cold. "Then let's see if you have the ability to take my life."
As he spoke, Ye Fan activated the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, and a terrifying fist intent surged out, shaking the killing formation.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The black-clad man snorted coldly, forming hand seals with both hands, and the killing formation instantly activated.
Countless sword lights shot out from all directions, each one carrying terrifying power, as if they could tear apart the void.
Ye Fan's expression was serious. He circulated the Indestructible Golden Body, his entire body glowing with golden light, blocking the sword lights.
Duan De also took action, offering a bronze mirror that emitted a hazy light, protecting himself.
"Old Taoist, break this killing formation!" Ye Fan shouted.
"Easier said than done!" Duan De said bitterly. "This is a killing formation passed down from the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty, extremely powerful. I need time to find its weak point."
"I'll hold them off!" Ye Fan said in a deep voice, brandishing the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Holy Spirit Sword and charging toward the black-clad man.
"Seeking death!" The black-clad man sneered, a black dagger appearing in his hand, clashing with Ye Fan.
Boom!
The two collided, and terrifying energy ripples spread out, shaking the entire killing formation.
Ye Fan was secretly shocked. This black-clad man was very powerful, at least at the Saint Lord-rank level, and his assassination techniques were strange and unpredictable.
"Ye Fan, your Sacred Body is indeed extraordinary, but it's a pity that you haven't fully grown yet," the black-clad man said coldly. "Today, I will take your life and use your blood to refine my weapon."
As he spoke, the black-clad man's aura suddenly surged, and a black divine light erupted from his body, transforming into a giant black python that lunged at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's expression turned serious. He formed hand seals, and the Immortal King Overlooking the Nine Heavens appeared behind him, an incomparably vast divine might pressing down.
Boom!
The two divine abilities collided, producing a deafening explosion. The killing formation shook violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"Good timing!" Duan De's eyes lit up. "I found the weak point!"
As he spoke, Duan De offered a bronze bell that emitted a clear ringing sound, striking a certain spot in the killing formation.
Kacha!
The killing formation instantly shattered, and the surrounding space returned to normal.
"Not good!" The black-clad man's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to retreat.
"Where do you think you're going?" Ye Fan shouted coldly, the Void Great Hand Seal striking out, a giant hand appearing in the void, grabbing at the black-clad man.
The black-clad man let out a muffled groan and was slapped away by Ye Fan, blood spraying from his mouth.
"Ye Fan, just you wait, the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty will not let you go!" The black-clad man left behind a harsh threat, then tore through the void and disappeared.
Ye Fan didn't give chase. He knew that assassins from the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty were best at hiding and escaping, and chasing them would be difficult.
"Old Taoist, are you alright?" Ye Fan turned to look at Duan De.
Duan De shook his head, his face pale. "I'm fine, but this is bad. Being targeted by the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty is no joke."
Ye Fan frowned. He had indeed offended too many people, and now even the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty had come knocking.
"Kid, you better be careful from now on. The assassins of the Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty are everywhere, and they might strike at any time," Duan De warned.
Ye Fan nodded. He naturally understood this principle, but he was not afraid. Since he had chosen this path, he would walk it to the end.
"By the way, old Taoist, do you know who put the bounty on me?" Ye Fan asked.
Duan De shook his head. "I don't know. The Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty keeps their operations very secret, and outsiders can't find out."
Ye Fan fell into thought. There were too many people who wanted him dead. It could be the Holy Lands, the Ancient Clans, or even some hidden forces.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. We'll deal with whatever comes," Ye Fan said calmly.
Duan De looked at Ye Fan with a hint of admiration in his eyes. This kid was young, but his mindset was extraordinary. No wonder he could achieve so much.
"Kid, I have to go. You take care of yourself," Duan De said, then turned and left.
Ye Fan watched Duan De's retreating figure, then looked down at the mobile phone in his hand, his eyes deep in thought.
The Star Domain of Eternal... Ancient Assassin Divine Dynasty... It seemed that this seemingly peaceful Big Dipper Star Domain was actually filled with hidden dangers.
Ye Fan put away the mobile phone, took a deep breath, and continued on his way. No matter what dangers lay ahead, he would move forward without hesitation.
