As Tang Xian had expected, Bill Jones and the others were worried that Ye Fan's ability would never
regain its previous peak.
After all, it had been too long.
For too long, Ye Fan had gone missing.
No one knew whether the current Chu Tianfan still had the power and influence from before or if the
previous top ranker on the Sky Ranking was still worthy of that position.
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, The eight Guardians in Black formed the Octa Crescent Formation. They were
weaved together like a rope.
They were one body in attack and defense, breathing as one.
Targeting Ye Fan, they whipped toward him like a ferocious snake.
Swoosh!
The terrifying speed and horrifying power of the attack sliced through the air.
When the Guardian closest to Ye Fan had closed in, he swiftly slammed his palm toward Ye Fan's
body.
Instead of dodging, Ye Fan reached out his hand to deflect the attack.
However, something strange occurred when Ye Fan stretched his hand out to receive the attack.
The remaining seven guardians wrapped themselves around Ye Fan's body in several loops as though
they were a long whip.
Some of them circled Ye Fan's neck, while some targeted his waist, and the others clung to his arms
and legs.
In a split second, the eight Guardians in Black had gained control over Ye Fan's entire body, restricting
his movement.
Ye Fan was like the prey wrapped in coils by a venomous snake.
Up next would be devouring the prey.
“Master!”
“Mr. Chu!”
Owen and the rest were shocked when they witnessed the scene.
Especially the Joneses who screwed their eyes shut and let out a sigh, unwilling to see the unfortunate
ending of Ye Fan.
They already knew members of the Chu Sect were not to be messed with.
Even though the eight guardians were merely Grandmasters, there was an increase in their powers
when they joined forces for an attack.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoreover, the Chu Sect's secret technique had always been unusual and tricky. Their opponents would
easily fall into the Chu Sect's trap if they let their guard down for even a second.
That was what happened to Ye Fan. He thought the first Guardian's attack was the ultimate one, yet he
was surprised to find that it was the other guardians' restriction on him instead.
“Haha! Chu Tianfan, how dare you come to Mount Chumen and brag? With your current abilities, you
should've waited for your life to end by hiding in some mountain or forest.
“You can't even get yourself out of the Octa Crescent Formation, so how are you planning to go against
the Chu Sect and our head?”
Tang Xian laughed triumphantly at the Guardians' successful attack.
The most lethal form of the Comprehensive Array Attack was originally the Nona Crescent Formation.
However, since Bill Jones had killed one of the Guardians, they could only resort to the Octa Crescent
Formation.
Tang Xian was worried that the Octa Crescent Formation would not be able to pin Ye Fan down.
However, it looks like I have overthought. The Chu Tianfan, who has died once, is like a toothless tiger
indeed. There's no need for us to fear him.
“Mr. Tang, please attack and kill this miscreant!” shouted the Guardians in Black.
Tang Xian laughed. “Very well! Chu Tianfan, today will be the day you die!”
Amidst his laughter, he raised his sword and plunged it toward Ye Fan's throat like a venomous snake
slithering out of its hole, aiming for the kill.
However, when the tip of the sword was only a few inches away from Ye Fan's throat, he stealthily held
up two fingers, catching the tip of Tang Xian's sword.
Tang Xian was surprised when his sword wouldn't budge even an inch.
“What? Such immense strength?”
Tang Xian furrowed his brows in confusion.
At that moment, he was using all the strength he could muster to try and break free from Ye Fan's hold.
However, the sword wouldn't budge at all.
When he tried retracting the sword, he couldn't either.
“What a minute! Didn't the Octa Crescent Formation have your arm pinned? How did you manage to
free your hand?”
Soon, Tang Xian suddenly realized something was amiss as a stunned look crossed his face.
On the other hand, Ye Fan merely chuckled. “Even the Chu Sect's Iron Gate Formation was useless
against me. Yet, you think a menial Octa Crescent Formation can pin me down?”
The audience then saw Ye Fan stomping his foot heavily on the ground.
Boom!
Next, several heavy thuds sounded from Ye Fan's body.
The eight Guardians in Black coiled around Ye Fan's body were all blasted away. Blood spurted from
their mouths as they fell to the ground.
With a snap of Ye Fan's fingers, the sword in Tang Xian's hand began to let out an earsplitting screech.
Finally, with a crack, the long sword broke into a million pieces.
Even Tang Xian's purlicue split open from the tremendous force, and the blood from his wound stained
the sword hilt.
As blood spewed from his mouth, he was hurled backward.
“T-This...”
“H-How could this be?”
The Joneses were staring at the scene with their mouths agape.
They had never imagined that Ye Fan could easily deflect an ultimate attack from elites of the Chu
Sect.
“Chu Tianfan's power is definitely something to be frightened of!”
Michael Jones' heart was pounding furiously.
It was absurd that I even considered killing Ye Fan in the past. Now that I reflect on my actions, they
were truly impossible. He has come back stronger than ever after going missing with severe injuries for
three years. How am I a match for him?
“F**k! The Octa Crescent Formation failed!”
Tang Xian wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth with a hostile expression.
The Guardians in Black also grew wary of Levi.
“What should we do now, Mr. Tang?”
“What else can we do? Go all out and unleash all your powers on him later. I refuse to believe we can't
defeat him with so many of us here.” Tang Xian was ruthless as he mentally prepared himself to give
up his life for this fight.
I have no other choice besides putting my life on the line. Mount Chumen is right behind me. Even if I
retreated to Mount Chumen, Ye Fan would still pursue me till the very end. As for searching for Old
Master and the rest in China, it is undeniably unrealistic. The journey is over tens of thousands of
miles. Levi will probably kill me before I can even reach there. Besides staking my life on the line, I
don't have any other choice.
After making up their minds, the members of the Chu Sect got into their stances, looking as though
they were ready to fight till the end of their lives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTang Xian fixed his malicious gaze on Ye Fan. “Bring it, Chu Tianfan! Show us Invoke the Celestial Sky.
Let me see whether your attack or the Tang family's Cloud and Mist Sword Technique is better!” Tang
Xian yelled.
Right after, a wave of aura exploded from Tang Xian's body.
Within his veins, bursts of energy were surging like a raging river.
With my sword broken, I would have to resort to using my finger. With no retreat, forward is the only
way to go.
At that thought, Tang Xian launched himself at Ye Fan.
With his finger as a sword, Tang Xian sent shock waves over a few thousand miles away.
After so many years, the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique of the Tang family had finally reappeared.
“Let's attack too!”
“Chu Sect Fatal Moves!”
“Heavenly Wolf!”
“Chu Sect secret technique, Soaring Dragon!”
“Chu Sect Bible of Sword, Mountain Destructor!”
The Guardians in Black charged toward Levi immediately after.
Some of them attacked with punches, some with swords, and some with secret techniques.
All in all, these men were aware of Ye Fan's power and gave everything they had. All of them
unleashed their ultimate attacks.
At the same time, numerous streams of Qi combined with auras exuded from swords, looking like a
gushing river under the night sky, forming an unusual sight.
Terrifying powers closed in on Ye Fan from every direction.
“It looks like Mr. Chu will have to unleash the ultimate move of the Chu family.”
“I can't believe that I, Bill Jones, will get to see Mr. Yunyang's technique, Invoke the Celestial Sky, once
again before I die.”
At that thought, Bill Jones' eyes sparkled with excitement.
Everyone within the top Chu family hierarchy knew how to wield Invoke the Celestial Sky.
However, anyone who was present during the war would know that Ye Fan's technique was different
from the Chu family's.
Even though the Chu family had been adamant that Ye Fan's technique was not the original one, Bill
Jones figured only the one Ye Fan practiced was the authentic Chu Sect's ultimate move.
I think it's the complete version of Invoke the Celestial Sky personally wielded by Mr. Yunyang
thousands of years ago.
In other words, I'm basically witnessing the Chu family's ancestor, Chu Yunyang, wielding it himself.
I can die without any regrets as a member of the Chu Sect if I can catch a glimpse of the actual
technique wielded by our ancient master.
