Chapter 712: The Number One Beauty
“That’s right, I am.” Ye Fan answered thus.
This young girl had a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, and sparkling eyes, but she clearly carried a hostile intent. Upon hearing this, she said nothing and retreated back before the divine carriage.
“May I ask the young lady’s name?” The man in the five-colored robe had a lecherous look.
“Disgusting!” The maidservant glared at him fiercely.
“Little girl, don’t speak recklessly. Be careful, or I might just kidnap you later and make you understand what true refinement is.” The colorful-robed man’s eyes flickered with an eerie light.
“Do you have business asking my name?” Ye Fan said.
“Why did you kill the master of the Eight Scenery Palace’s younger brother?” A woman’s voice came from within the divine carriage, like a heavenly sound, magnetic and very pleasant, intoxicating to the bone.
“See, I told you Yi Qingwu would make a move against you. After all, she’s Yin Tiande’s future Dao partner.” The man in the five-colored robe chuckled.
His name was Li Tian, a young man full of wickedness, with unfathomable strength. He was Yan Yixi’s junior disciple, from the same sect.
“Actually, I didn’t want to act. I would have let Yin Tiande settle it himself. But since I’ve encountered you here, I have no choice but to demand an explanation.”
Yi Qingwu’s voice was like a spring breeze brushing past, truly gentle and pleasant, yet it also contained an unshakable will within it, like the soft chirping of an immortal phoenix.
Ye Fan smiled and nodded at Li Tian. This wicked fellow was right—the number one beauty was clearly about to make her move.
“Are you sure you can take me down?”
“Don’t underestimate her. Yi Qingwu isn’t just the most beautiful woman under heaven; her cultivation is also astonishing. She ranks first among the heavenly proud daughters!” Yan Yixi reminded.
“That’s why I said we brothers need to join forces to capture her. Cultivating the heart with the number one beauty is far better than any worldly tempering.” Li Tian curled his lips.
“I’m different from you. You cultivate desire; I cultivate emotion. Don’t say any more to me.” Yan Yixi refused again.
Li Tian turned around and said, “Brother Ye, let’s join forces. I only need her as my cauldron for a month, and then this number one beauty will be yours for life. How about it?”
Ye Fan realized that Yan Yixi’s junior disciple was truly evil, showing signs of becoming a demon among men. He wasn’t joking but speaking very seriously.
“Li Tian, you won’t be leaving this time either. Stay here with him.” Yi Qingwu spoke. Her voice, though magnetic, was also somewhat cold.
“Eavesdropping on divine transmissions?!” Yan Yixi was shocked. They had been communicating with divine thoughts, yet this woman could intercept them.
“Very frightening. Is her strength truly that great, or does she cultivate an ancient divine art that allows her to intercept secret transmissions?” Li Tian’s expression also stiffened.
“Everyone, please make your move. Capture them!” At that moment, Yi Qingwu’s voice grew heavier, echoing across the entire bright moonlit sky.
Twelve divine energies shot up into the sky, like twelve heaven-piercing swords, or twelve towering divine mountains, majestic and fierce, surrounding all directions and striking inward.
“The Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation. She actually invited twelve Sect Leader-rank figures to act. Yi Qingwu wants to wipe us out in one go.” Li Tian’s face turned cold and grim.
“Yan Yixi, you may leave the formation. I’ll let you go, but I cannot spare those two.” Yi Qingwu’s gentle voice came through.
“Alas, how could I abandon my friends and leave? Fairy Yi, are you deliberately making things difficult for me?” Yan Yixi sighed.
“Senior Brother, why bother talking to her? Capture her as my cauldron, and you can have a pure discussion of Dao and emotion with her.” Li Tian let out an evil, cold laugh.
Some people were wicked without concealment. Li Tian was undoubtedly such a person, almost needing the word ‘demon’ carved on his forehead. He spoke very seriously, not as a joke.
At that moment, the twelve Celestial Guardian divine swords struck. Each one was terrifyingly powerful, carrying the roaring sounds of gods and demons from all heavens.
One sword, one world!
The Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation unleashed a sword might that shocked the world. Each sword opened up a world, with earth, fire, wind, and water cycling within.
“Suppressing us with the power of worlds. Damn it!” Li Tian cursed. Seeing this scene, he spat out a nine-leaf golden lotus, which accompanied him. With a slight tremor, the void shattered, protecting his body.
“They really want to kill us all.” Yan Yixi also changed color. A painting of a beautiful woman rushed out from his crown, rustling as it protected him.
Ye Fan’s expression was also grave. Even using the Stride Art to charge forward, he felt a pressure, his steps slowing, no longer as agile.
However, the Nine Secrets of Daoism were ultimately the supreme divine arts. After a brief adjustment, his speed grew faster and faster as he rushed toward the divine carriage ahead, intending to capture Yi Qingwu first.
“Buzz”
With a soft tremor, a divine ring shot out from between his brows. It was silver-white and gleaming, flashing with radiance as it flew forward. It was the Vajra Ring seized from the Eight Scenery Palace.
Suddenly, he sensed danger. The carriage’s door opened wide, turning into a black hole that tried to swallow him, while also attempting to take the Vajra Ring.
The young girl who had stood beside the carriage had vanished, and the carriage was empty inside—nothing at all. Yi Qingwu wasn’t inside.
“A King-rank Divine Weapon!”
Ye Fan was startled. They had been luring him into a trap, waiting for him to rush in. Everything had been premeditated.
Although his speed was very fast, his steps were nimble. With a movement of the Stride Art, he brushed past the divine carriage.
The Vajra Ring transformed to the size of a millstone and struck the carriage solidly, producing a series of terrifying sparks, each capable of destroying a mountain.
At the same time, the carriage exerted a powerful suction force, trying to swallow the treasure ring and take this King-rank Divine Weapon.
Ye Fan gave a soft shout. This was a divine object that could evolve into a Saint Weapon. How could he allow it to be lost? He activated the Weapon Art, making the Vajra Ring seem alive as it rapidly expanded, covering the carriage, intending to reclaim it instead.
“Whoosh”
In the end, the divine carriage silently vanished from its spot, taken away by Yi Qingwu without a direct confrontation. The two King-rank Divine Weapons each returned to their masters.
“Boom”
The Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation activated. One sword, one world, with strands of chaotic mist flying out, attacking forward.
Li Tian urged the nine-leaf golden lotus, shattering small worlds one by one as he charged outward. Yan Yixi also unfurled the beautiful woman painting, transforming it into a divine bridge leading to the outside, trying to cross over.
However, this was a renowned divine formation after all, with immense power. Every time they were close to succeeding, they were forced back.
At the same time, a chilling aura emanated. Surging light soared in all directions, like an eternal divine furnace burning.
“Yi Qingwu, you really have good methods. Are you trying to refine us alive here?!” Li Tian’s expression turned serious.
In the void all around, ancient altars hung suspended, each engraved with unknown divine patterns, emitting strands of terrifying light that intertwined.
“Guanghan Immortal Sacrifice!” Yan Yixi changed color. This was a terrifying array pattern. Trapped within, one could be refined alive, with no way to resist.
At this point, Ye Fan believed that Yi Qingwu had recognized them back on the Falling Star River. She hadn’t acted because she wasn’t completely sure.
Now, she had come prepared, with ample arrangements. This wasn’t a chance encounter; she intended to suppress him completely, leaving no chance to escape.
“The number one beauty under heaven is covered in thorns. Truly hard to pluck. She’s going to such lengths to deal with us. We might face a great calamity today.” Li Tian cursed.
Ye Fan’s heart also tightened. This woman, whose beauty stunned the world, whose grace was unmatched, was truly extraordinary. Their first meeting, and she had set up a killing trap for him.
Still, he wasn’t afraid. Though the two divine formations were terrifying, they couldn’t stop him. The Stride Art would allow him to break through.
Ye Fan dodged the world-opening force, evaded the Celestial Guardian divine swords, and with a bizarre, inexplicable speed that surpassed spatial confinement, shot out like a bolt of lightning.
“Boom”
Purple lightning descended from the sky, and a sea of thunder fell. An unexplained heavenly tribulation struck, targeting Ye Fan’s physical body at the center.
“Fall back quickly! That’s an ancient tribulation-inducing formation. It can trigger heavenly tribulation, causing someone to fail their tribulation and turn to ashes.” Yan Yixi shouted.
“This girl is truly terrifying. Fully prepared, she hasn’t even acted herself yet, and she’s already unleashed so many killing moves.” Li Tian’s eyes flickered with eerie, evil light.
Facing the tribulation-inducing formation, Ye Fan didn’t retreat. He raised his hand and inscribed nine ancient characters in the void, derived from the Dao Scripture, which could allow him to achieve eternity.
Though he wasn’t afraid of heavenly tribulation, if he underwent it now, only his physical body would suffer, getting struck for no reason, making it hard to break through to a new realm. To break through, he needed to comprehend the Dao.
With his increased strength, his understanding of the nine ancient characters grew deeper and deeper. He concealed his own aura and quickly rushed out.
“Rustle”
He raised his hand and sacrificed eighty-one golden great flags, seized from Lu Ya, sealing off a corner of the Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation, intending to break it.
“Ah…” A scream rang out. A Sect Leader-rank figure was severely wounded.
Lu Ya’s treasure flags were astonishingly powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have once caused five top Sect Leader-rank figures to spill blood on the flags and die within.
“Good!” Li Tian laughed heartily.
A corner of the formation was torn open, and the Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation immediately showed a flaw. He shook the nine-leaf golden lotus and shot out like a divine rainbow, showing his terrifying cultivation. With just a crack, he could break through.
At the same time, Yan Yixi’s beautiful woman painting transformed into a rainbow bridge, carrying him directly across.
The Twelve Celestial Guardians Divine Formation collapsed. These two brothers could rival the most terrifying figures of the younger generation. With full force, their divine energy shook the heavens!
“Ah…”
At that moment, another scream came. Ye Fan used the Golden Crow Clan’s treasure flags to shatter a Sect Leader-rank figure alive, blood staining the golden flag surface like a blooming flower.
He was inwardly astonished. The power of these treasure flags was immense, greater than he had imagined. They contained an ancient slaughter formation, like a sleeping heavenly demon.
“Boom”
At the same time, he sacrificed the Vajra Ring, transforming it to the size of a millstone, silver and gleaming. It struck out an eternal light, crashing into the tribulation-inducing formation while shattering the altars in the void.
All the ancient formations were dismantled. The three of them completely broke free. Ye Fan and Li Tian charged together toward the distant divine carriage, intending to capture Yi Qingwu alive.
The Divine Moon Carriage was crystal clear, surrounded by a rain of flowers. At this moment, the jade curtains parted to both sides, and a woman stepped out, one who made the sun and moon lose their luster, who made mountains and rivers dim.
Such beauty should not exist in the mortal world. It felt unreal. A woman without a single flaw, like the reincarnation of the Luo Goddess, with a long neck and elegant posture, her fair skin revealed, her bright eyes sparkling, her bearing graceful and enchanting.
Her figure was tall and slender, her black hair as glossy as silk. A bright, radiant red mole between her brows added endless spiritual charm.
Facing a great enemy, she smiled softly, making the bright moon dim, making the stars hide. All things in the world lost their radiance, leaving only her, bright and peerlessly beautiful.
“I’ve developed a heart demon. If I don’t capture her as my cauldron, it will be hard for me to attain the Dao.” Li Tian’s face was full of wickedness.
“I’ll give you a chance. If you can break out of the Falling Star River Domain, I’ll let you go.” Yi Qingwu’s voice was like a divine phoenix’s chirp. Though she was the number one beauty of the age, she also possessed a powerful will and an unshakable belief in victory.
“I’ll give you a chance too. Come over and massage my back and shoulders, and I’ll grant you the status of a maidservant.” Ye Fan smiled.
