Shrouding the Heavens Chapter 156 Beheaded

Chapter 156 Beheaded

BANG!

Ye Fan soared into the sky, using his golden fist to smash down on the old man. Practically all of Ji Ren’s bones were now broken.

However, this old manager was immeasurable, and his life force was boundless. He was still not at death’s door, and was actually roaring gloomily.

Ye Fan followed with him, eight kicks landing onto Ji Ren’s body, each one causing more cracking noises.

After those eight kicks, Ji Ren’s skeletal system had been completely broken and his body had almost lost its shape. At the same time, he fell down onto the ground.

Ye Fan once more sent a fist towards him. Ji Ren was like a stone, sent flying and collapsing on the ground like a dead dog.

His methods were cruel and inhumane, but Ye Fan still didn’t have mercy. In this world where the weak were prey for the strong, if he wasn’t fierce, he would instead be killed.

Ji Hui was determined to annihilate him. This old manager had come here to punish him with death, from the start not at all disturbed about killing him. His attitude had been completely cold, without the slightest guilt or empathy.

Thus, Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t hold back his killing intent. He didn’t hesitate at all to attack to kill.

“AHH!!!” Ji Ren was screaming, still not dead.

Ye Fan shuddered at how powerful he was. A normal cultivator would probably have already died from all the attacks he had rained down.

He was unable to see through his opponent’s profound cultivation realm. Ye Fan didn’t want for anything unexpected to occur, so he took out the golden tome.

The vehicle on which the Dao Scripture was written upon, the golden page, turned into a dazzling golden ray of light that charged out, shining with sharp lights that seemed to vaguely cut through even space, as if wanting to tear it apart.

This page of the Dao Scripture wasn’t actually a weapon, but it was even tougher than the Jiang Family’s Elder’s purple copper eight trigram mirror, still capable of submerging into his Sea of Bitterness.

As for the purple copper eight trigram mirror, the Sky Gathering Parasol, and the pure jade bottle, none of them were capable of this and were all forced out of his Sea of Bitterness by the green copper. In a certain sense, the golden page was not a weapon, but had actually surpassed weapons.

Chi!

A dazzling golden blade formed from the thin golden page, even sharper than a weapon as it slashed out.

Plop!

Ji Ren’s head was cut off, his neck like a fountain, shooting blood over two meters away as his head rolled several times on hitting the ground.

In this cruel world of cultivators, once a battle started, if you didn’t want to be killed you had to kill others. There was no mercy or benevolence. Ye Fan sighed.

But he was suddenly startled to find that that headless body had yet to tumble down. The headless body continued to tremble.

Even in such a situation, Ji Ren was still alive? This caused Ye Fan’s blood to run cold, and he once more prepared the golden tome. If such a powerful figure were to awaken, then his prospects would obviously be bleak.

Plop.

The golden tome rushed towards Ji Ren’s Wheel and Sea, directly cutting off his divine energy source-spring and splitting him off from this secret realm. No matter how powerful he was, before, after this he would no longer be worried.

Chi.

Ye Fan didn’t stop there. He once more sent the golden tome out to slash apart the head that had fallen off. As long as he could destroy this, he would be sure that Ji Ren would no longer be able to turn this situation.

Buzz.

However, just at this moment a startling thing happened. Five different colored lights rushed out of Ji Ren’s almost completely dim hair, blocking the golden tome.

A powerful divine energy sealed the space, warding the golden tome outside.

The five dazzling lights came from a thin bone hairpin with a misty air circulating around it. This mysterious might flowed around Ji Ren’s head.

At the same time, the bone hairpin shattered, and a dazzling ray of light immediately rushed out. Ji Hui’s figure appeared, shouting, “What happened?”

Ye Fan immediately felt his scalp turn numb. Although he very much desired to beat this old crone to pieces, he was very aware of the huge strength gap between them. An ancestor of the Ji Family could defeat him as if he were no more than a mortal.

“It’s you…” After Ji Hui’s figure appeared, she was extremely startled, saying, “How could Ji Ren possibly be defeated by you to the point where he’s on the point of death, causing the bone hairpin I gave him before this to break…how is that possible?!”

This senior of the Ji Family, Ji Hui, was in complete disbelief. This was way out of her expectations, as if hearing a story about an ant biting a lion to death.

Ye Fan quickly became cool-headed. He didn’t say anything, directly sending the golden tome to slash through Ji Hui. He knew this wasn’t a true senior of the Ji Family and was just an imprint. He need to seize the moment and destroy it, otherwise the head might recover.

“This is too shocking…this is totally breaking common sense!” Ji Hui was still as shocked as ever. The golden tome rushed out and cut through her.

However, Ji Hui was still fine and quickly reconnected. She coldly said, “Little brat, you’re still dumb. You can’t even tell what a spiritual imprint looks like. Someone like you is unable to kill this imprint.” She then shouted loudly, “Ji Ren, quickly wake up!”

Chi.

That small golden lake once more appeared between Ye Fan’s eyebrows, and a golden sword rushed out of it. This sword was completely formed of his powerful divine sense, immediately slashing at Ji Hui.

Having learned his opponent’s situation, Ye Fan immediately calmed down. Using his powerful divine sense to exterminate the spiritual imprint was the best option.

“AHH!” Ji Hui’s empty image shouted in anger. Everything had exceeded her expectations. Ye Fan’s powerful divine sense didn’t make any sense at all with his cultivation realm.

Like burning iron slicing through snow, Ji Hui’s imprint immediately became indistinct, almost completely exterminated.

Facing a true senior of the Ji Family, Ye Fan wouldn’t have any chance. He had only cultivated for just over three years. But this was only an imprint of Ji Hui, and was not her true body, allowing him to defeat her.

“You old damn crone, even though I can’t kill your true body, do you think I can’t exterminate this spiritual imprint of yours?!”

Ye Fan was full of hate for this malicious old crone. Despite him doing her such a favor, she actually wanted to destroy him, truly deserving to be killed.

“You…” Ji Hui was infuriated, but she also knew that with his formidable divine sense she could not win. She flew into the air and tried to flee.

But Ye Fan couldn’t possibly give her such an opportunity. Once this spiritual trace returned to her body, he wouldn’t be able to destroy it even if he wanted to, and she would definitely come up with hundreds of ways to torture him.

“Old crone, don’t you like being chased and killed?” Ye Fan soared up and shouted, “Today I’ll chase and exterminate you to give you a taste!”

Plop.

The small golden lake surged and immediately broke Ji Hui’s arm.

Plop.

A divine sense sword slashed off Ji Hui’s head.

“Little brat, you dare humiliate me…”

“Fuck you, you even wanted to kill me…” Ye Fan flew up, brandishing his golden hand and punching it forward, saying, “Let’s see what your dog head feels like!”

BANG!

The golden palm slammed down onto Ji Hui’s head, causing her image to immediately scatter. However, she quickly reformed. Other than divine sense attacks, other powers were unable to do much of any damage to her.

“You…”

Ji Hui became incomparably furious. A senior of the Ji Family could not possibly have to endure such humiliation!

Chi.

Ye Fan’s golden lake of divine sense once more appeared. His divine sense pierced through Ji Hui’s forehead, and then divine light shoneeverywhere, completely enveloping her.

He didn’t have time to waste. For one thing he didn’t want anything unexpected to occur, and for another, there was still Ji Ren down below who was only half-dead.

“AHH!”

Ji Hui’s imprint released an unwilling bellow as it shattered, completely disappearing like snowflakes melting, vanishing from the world.

Ye Fan quickly dove back down, taking out the golden tome and once more sending it slashing down towards Ji Ren.

At this time, that severed head was completely enveloped by a mysterious light. The light quickly dimmed, and the head actually opened its eyes, once more recovering its consciousness. The light in its eyes was like a cold knife as it sinisterly glared at Ye Fan.

“You old bastard really won’t die…”

Ye Fan urged the golden page of the Dao Scripture to slash forward. The surrounding space had already been locked and only by killing the enemy before him could he leave this place.

The divine energy contained within Ji Hui’s imprint had been completely passed to Ji Ren, letting him completely awaken. His head flew up and dodged away.

Chi.

Ye Fan wasn’t afraid of the head, instead going after the headless body.

However, a shocking thing occurred. That body whose bones were almost completely broken suddenly had five figures rush out, standing side by side in front of it and guarding it.

The first figure was covered in black armor, its hand carrying a huge sickle. Other than the light shining on the blade, the figure’s entire body was bitch-black. This figure looked just like a grim reaper as it towered over there.

The second figure was covered in red armor and enveloped by scarlet flames. It held a blood-colored long knife that shone dangerously.

The third person was covered in green armor that looked just like the Azure Dragon’s scales. It held a wolf-tooth spear, appearing extremely imposing and grave.

These five figures were five demonic divinities. They each had the air of an evil monster, each possessing a mysterious energy around them.

“The Dao Palace secret realm!” Ye Fan immediately understood, sucking in a cold breath.

He had heard that the Dao Palace secret realm’s cultivators could cultivate five divinities that possessed inconceivable powers. After successfully cultivating them, strange things could occur.

Although he had broken Ji Ren’s Wheel and Sea, his Dao Palace was still fine, allowing the five demonic divinities to jump out.

The only good thing was that the head was not able to rejoin the body at this moment and it couldn’t control the five divinities very well.

“The Dao Palace secret realm really is too mysterious. Even this strange occurrence is just the tip of the iceberg,” Ye Fan muttered to himself.

But now there was no path back and he could only walk forward.

Ye Fan took out the golden tome and at the same time began using the Dao Scripture’s mystical arts. He transferred all of the Origin Qi to the outside of his body, preparing for a bloody battle.

Chi.

However, what was surprising to him was that the five demonic divinities weren’t as powerful as he imagined. Golden light flashed and one of those figures’ arms was torn off.

Ji Ren’s angry and unwilling howl came from the distance.

“Haha…” Ye Fan laughed, saying, “I get it now. You head can’t return and so these guys are unable to release their true might. There’s nothing to fear!”

Ye Fan charged forward, punching out with his golden fist. With a bang, one of the demonic divinities burst apart, turning into scattering light.

Ji Ren bellowed. Although he wasn’t connected to his body, the sound of his divine sense was still formidable.

Whoosh.

Heaven and earth dimmed as a huge purple net appeared in the sky, descending on him.

“The Great Sky Net!” Ye Fan was startled. It was precisely because of this huge net trap that he was unable to escape.

What was unexpected was that the Great Sky Net didn’t charge towards him but instead wrapped around the head and charged into the distance. The remaining five demonic divinities turned into four rays of light that wanted to soar into the sky.

“You old bastard…” Ye Fan charged over and used the great might of his body to completely wreck them, using the Great Void Handprint he had superficially learned to attack them.

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!

The huge black hand covered the area, completely crushing the four demonic divinities. He didn’t dare to waste time, chasing after Ji Ren.

Without his body, Ji Ren’s divine sense was very limited. His Wheel and Sea had already been destroyed, and now even his Dao Palace secret realm had been ruined. Ji Ren was now without any energy, so the Great Sky Net was unable to continue protecting him and quickly slowed down.

Ye Fan had cultivated the old madman’s supreme secret art and caught up to him in an instant. He knew that he definitely could not let Ji Ren escape, otherwise the consequences would be too dire.

“Old bastard, without your divine energy source-spring or your five divinities, how are you going to continue fleeing?”

Ye Fan rejoiced inside that he had managed to behead him earlier. If the old man had reunited with his body, he wouldn’t have had the slightest chance.

But it also couldn’t be said to be luck. He had controlled everything. Once his divine sense attack had succeeded, this conclusion had already been preordained.

Ye Fan punched out with his fist, his palm smashing down. Violet light shone as the Great Sky Net resisted Ye Fan’s attacks, temporarily protecting the head.

Unfortunately, a head was just a head. Its divine energy was limited. As it continually flew away, it quickly used up its energy and was no longer able to supply enough power to the Great Sky Net. It was no longer able to protect him.

Although the treasure was powerful, it required divine energy to control it. Otherwise it would have no effect.

“Thanks for giving me this treasure, you old bastard!”

BANG!

Ye Fan’s final attack finally caused Ji Ren’s head to burst apart. The huge violet net floated down, landing in his hand.

“It really is a precious treasure!”

He felt Ji Hui’s aura on it, and he was almost certain this was bestowed unto the old man by Ji Hui. The net’s threads seemed to be made of starlight as it shone.

“To be able to envelop heaven and earth, it really is a spiritual treasure!”

Ye Fan sensed that the Great Sky Net was probably several times stronger than the purple copper eight trigram mirror and the Sky Gathering Parasol. It had faint Dao Glyphs over it that were very profound. The net looked like it could even capture the sun, moon, and stars.

He didn’t tarry, erasing the marks here and quickly disappearing into the distance. He had to disappear from here. Once the Ji Family’s seniors learned of this, they would definitely become furious and wouldn’t let him off.
