Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 156: Chop!

“Bang!”

Ye Fan rushed to the sky, wielding his golden fist as he smashed down again, causing almost all the bones within Ji Ren’s bone to completely shatter.

However, the old supervisor was really unfathomable, his vitality was phenomenal and there were no indications that he was on his last straw, he was still howling and roaring in agony.

Ye Fan followed closely behind, his speed was phenomenal as he continually trod on the body of Ji Ren, each step causing crisp cracking noises to ring out.

Eight steps later, the bones in Ji Ren’s body had been shattered in multiple areas, his body was actually deformed. At this moment, he finally landed back on the ground.

Ye Fan’s final fist smashed down, Ji Ren was like a boulder as he was sent flying through the air before flopping down on the ground like a dead dog.

The methods might have been cruel but Ye Fan did not plan on being soft hearted, in this dog eat dog world where the strongest preyed on the weak, he could only be hard hearted and kill the other party.

Ji Hui had steeled his heart to exterminate him, this old supervisor was here to deal the death sentence to him, cold and emotionless without a shred of remorse. As such, Ye Fan was naturally able to be extremely cold without hesitating.

“Aaaahhhh!” Ji Ren continued to howl, even now he had not died.

Ye Fan’s heart trembled, the other party was simply too powerful, if it were an ordinary cultivator, he would certainly have already died.

He could not see what realm the other party was at, it was simply too high and Ye Fan did not wish for any accidents to occur as he sent the golden book flying out.

The Dao Scripture swiftly became a streak of flashing gold as it went forth, dazzling and sharp as it caused the air to turn blurry, as though it was rent in two.

This page of Dao Scripture was not a real weapon but it was much tougher than the bronze eight trigrams mirror, it could actually submerge into the Sea of Bitterness.

As for the bronze eight trigrams mirror, heaven’s parasol and jade bottle, they were completely prevented from entering the sea of bitterness by the aurichalcite. From a certain perspective, although the golden page was not a weapon, it was better than a weapon.

“Chi!”

The golden blade was extremely eye-catching, the thin piece of golden paper was comparable to the sharpest of weapons as it sliced.

Ji Ren’s head was lopped off, the blood within his body spurted out like a fountain reaching almost two metres in height, the head itself was sent flying far away.

The cruel world of cultivators, if there were any altercations, it was either kill or be killed. There was no room for compassion as Ye Fan sighed. What made him truly stunned as that the headless body was actually rolling about and the head was actually still trembling.

Even in such a state, Ji Ren was actually alive! This made Ye Fan’s hairs stand on end as he sent the golden book flying out again. The prowess of such a character was simply too terrifying.

“Chi!”

The golden book rushed into the Wheel and Sea of Ji Ren, instantly causing the spring of divine energy to shatter, destroying this, no matter how powerful the other party, Ye Fan was unafraid.

“Chi!”

Ye Fan did not stop as he continued to send the golden book flying out, attacking the lopped off head once again. He believed that once it was destroyed, it was impossible for Ji Ren to cause any trouble.

“Wengggg”

However, a shocking scene occurred, Ji Ren’s hair began to shine with a multicoloured light, blocking the attack of the golden book!

That was a space sealed by powerful divine energy, preventing the golden book from moving forward.

Within the dazzling multicoloured light, a bone the thickness of a hairpin could be seen exuding a mysterious aura, it was actually releasing a mysterious energy while floating above Ji Ren’s head.

At the same time, the hairpin bone began to shatter as dazzling lights shot off in all directions, Ji Hui’s image could be seen as it exclaimed: “What’s going on?”

Ye Fan immediately felt his scalp go numb, although he hated this old bitch and really wanted to kill her, he understood the difference between the two, a famous personage of the Ji Family was like a colossus.

“It’s you……” After the appearance of Ji Hui’s image, it was extremely shocked: “How could Ji Ren not be able to deal with you, he has actually been forced into a life and death situation where he has to use the hairpin bone which I gave to him. This…… how could this be possible?!”

Ji Hui’s face was filled with disbelief, this was simply too astounding, it was akin to learning that a lion had been bitten to death by an ant.

Ye Fan swiftly calmed down, he did not speak as he used the golden page to chop towards Ji Hui. He knew that this was not the real thing but merely an impression left behind, he needed to grasp the chance to kill them, otherwise, that head could very well recover.

“This is simply too astounding…… this goes against all logic!” Ji Hui was still dazed as the golden page rushed forward, instantly chopping her image in two.

Even so, Ji Hui was unharmed as she swiftly reappeared: “Little lad, you’re still too naive, you can’t even differentiate a consciousness imprint, you are insufficient to get rid of me.” Having said this, she swiftly yelled: “Ji Ren, wake up now!”

“Chi!’

From Ye Fan’s brow, the golden lake appeared once again as a golden blade was sent flying forth, it was completely formed of divine sense as it chopped towards Ji Hui.

Knowing the form of the other party, Ye Fan instantly regained his calm, using his powerful divine sense to destroy a consciousness imprint was easy.

“Aaaaahhh!” Ji Hui’s image roared, flickering constantly, everything had went outside her expectations, Ye Fan’s divine sense was simply too powerful, it was in complete contrast to his current realm.

“Chi!”

Like red-hot iron being tossed into a cold lake, Ji Hui’s image began to grow blurry as it was almost completely exterminated.

Faced with a real famous personage of the Ji Family, Ye Fan did not stand any chance. He had only cultivated for three years and was far too weak, however, against a mere imprint, he could attack to his heart’s content.

“You old bitch, even if I can’t kill your real body, I’m at least able to kill your imprint right?!”

Ye Fan was filled with disgust towards this vicious old lady, returning kindness with animosity, actually wanting to kill and search his soul, this was the best time for him to vent his anger.

“You…….” Ji Hui had been cursed at and was currently infuriated, however, she knew that the other party’s divine sense was terrifying as she swiftly rushed to the sky, attempting to flee.

Ye Fan would not give her such a chance, if this imprint managed to return, he would definitely die horribly.

“Old bitch, I thought you liked to chase others?” Ye Fan rushed forward while shouting: “Today, it’s my turn to chase you!”

“Chi!”

Within the golden lake, divine sense took form once again as it chopped off Ji Hui’s arm.

“Chi!”

A sword formed of divine sense chopped once again, lopping the head off Ji Hui.

“Little brat, you dare to insult me!”

“Your granddaddy, you were already planning to kill me……” Ye Fan rushed forward, wielding his golden fist as he smash forward: “Rubbing your doggy head!”

“Peng!”

The golden fist smashed into Ji Hui’s head instantly dispersing her image before swiftly reforming. Besides his divine sense, any other form of attack was ineffective in totally exterminating her.

“You!!!” Ji Hui was infuriated, when had a famous personage like herself ever had to endure such an insult.

“Chi!”

From the centre of Ye Fan’s brow his golden divine sense shot forth once again, piercing directly through Ji Hui’s forehead.

He did not wish to waste a single second, he did not want any accidents to occur and also had to deal with Ji Ren who was still half dead.

Ji Hui’s imprint finally let out a roar of indignation before thoroughly disintegrating, like snow falling from the sky as it thoroughly disappeared. Ye Fan rushed down as the golden book was sent flying forth, chopping towards Ji Ren once again.

At this moment, that had was shining with a mysterious light before suddenly becoming still, it’s eyes suddenly opened as it regained its consciousness, a piercing cold light shot towards Ye Fan.

“You damned old fogey, you’ve really got a tough life…….”

Ye Fan sent the Golden Book chopping forward, the surroundings were still sealed and only by killing off his enemy would he be able to leave this area.

The divine energy contained within the imprint of Ji Hui had been completely absorbed by Ji Ren allowing him to come to his sense, the head swiftly flew into the air as it hid far away.

“Chi!”

Ye Fan was unafraid of him causing any trouble as he directly went for the headless body.

Even so, a shocking scene unfolded, five figures suddenly rushed out of the body as they defended it.

The first person was covered in black metal armour, he was wielding an enormous sickle, besides the glint from the sharp blade of the sickle, his entire body was black like ink seeming like a death god as he stood there.

The second person was covered in crimson armour the colour of fresh blood, as though he were covered in blazing flames, he wielded a blood coloured long knife, extremely demonic.

The third person was dressed in a green armour, like the scales of a green dragon flashing, he wielded a spiked club, his pressure was immense. These five people were like demonic gods, releasing a very eerie aura as strange energies surrounded them.

“The Dao Palace mystical realm!” Ye Fan instantly understood as he sucked in a breath of cold air.

According to rumours, cultivators of the Dao Palace realm could cultivate five divinities that contained profound and strange abilities. Once cultivated to a success, strange things would occur. Although he had already smashed Ji Ren’s Wheel and Sea, the other party’s Dao Palace was still intact as the five demonic gods leapt out. The only fortunate thing was that his head was not connected with the body making it very difficult for him to control the five divinities.

“The Dao Palace mystical realm is really too mysterious, such a sighting is merely the tip of the iceberg.” Ye Fan muttered to himself. Under the current circumstances, there was no retreat and he could only forge a way forward. Ye Fan sent the Golden Book flying out as he circulated the mystical arts recorded within the Dao Scripture, utilising the origin qi of all living things as he prepared to engage in a bloody battle.

“Chi!”

Even so, what made him surprised was that the five demonic gods were not as strong as he imagined, a golden light flashed as the arms of one of the men was chopped off. In the distance, the angry howls of Ji Ren’s head could be heard, he was despondent and indignant.

“Hahaha!……” Ye Fan laughed: “I understand, if your head doesn’t return, they can’t show their might, there’s no need for fear!”

Ye Fan swiftly rushed forward as he wielded his golden fists, smashing one of the demonic gods apart as it dissipated into a dazzling light before disappearing. Ji Ren howled, although he was merely a head, his consciousness was powerful enough to make the sound extremely powerful.

“Shuaaaa”

The sky suddenly became dark as an enormous purple web appeared from the sky pressing downwards.

“Heaven’s Parasol Net!” Ye Fan was shocked, this was precisely the net that was sealing him and preventing him from escaping.

Contrary to his expectations, the Heaven’s Parasol Net did not rush towards him but rather wrapped the head as it rushed off into the distance, the four remaining demonic gods also turned into four streaks of brilliant light as they rushed to the sky.

“That damned old fogey……” Ye Fan rushed forward was extremely precise as he thoroughly destroyed the body before aiming to the sky with the Great Void Palm.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The enormous black hand shrouded the sky as it instantly disintegrated the four demonic gods, he did not dare to tarry as he immediately chased after Ji Ren.

Without a physical body, the divine power within the head was limited. His Wheel and Sea and Dao Palace had both been destroyed, Ji Ren’s energy was swiftly depleting and even the Heaven’s Parasol Net was unable to bring him far as his speed gradually declined.

With the movement technique of the crazed old man, Ye Fan caught up in the blink of an eye. There was no way he would allow Ji Ren to escape, this would be leaving future troubles for himself.

“Old fogey, you don’t have a spring of divine energy nor do you have your five divinities, how are you going to continue fleeing?”

Ye Fan was thankful that he had already chopped the head off, otherwise, he would not have the slightest chance if the head was still attached to the body.

However, this could not be considered a coincidence. This was a chance that he had created, using his divine sense to attack the other party at the right timing to create such a result.

“Bang!”

Ye Fan wielded his hands as a slap went forward, azure lights flashed as the Heaven’s Parasol Net blocked the attack, temporarily protecting the head encased within.

A head was after all only a head and the divine energy contained within was limited, after continually flying for a while, the energy within was almost exhausted and it was no longer able to upkeep the large amount of energy required to activate the Heaven’s Parasol Net. Although his treasure was powerful, it required energy to use and control, otherwise, it would not be able to show its prowess.

“Old fellow, thanks for sending me a gift!”

“Bang!”

Ye Fan’s blow finally destroyed Ji Ren’s head, the azure net gently floated towards the ground as it was intercepted by his hand.

“This is definitely a priceless treasure!”

He could feel the aura of Ji Hui emitted from the item and was sure that it was given by Ji Hui, the net seemed to be filled with dazzling starlight as it glittered.

“Covering the entire sky and earth, this is a spiritual treasure!”

Ye Fan could feel that this was many times stronger than the previous artifacts that he had lost, the Dao Inscriptions atop the treasure faintly flashed, extremely profound and mystical as though it could cover the sun, moon and stars.

He did not stop as he removed all of his tracks before immediately moving off. He needed to hide as soon as possible, if the famous personages of the Ji Family knew of this matter, they would certainly be infuriated and come looking for him.
