Chapter 1104: Struggle

Jiang Fan seemed to notice something.

The smile on his face faded, he turned around and saw the figure of Venerate Xinnie.

He immediately felt suffocated.

As if shrouded by a shadow of death, filling him with fear from the depths of his heart.

Despite being mentally prepared to face Venerate Xinnie again.

Actually facing him still caused uncontrollable tension.

Especially as those eyes of the opponent seemed like they wanted to devour him.

It made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This feeling was exactly the same as the first time facing Evil Crow Venerable!

Only then did he realize.

Facing a Divinity Transformation Venerable who harbors murderous intent and is at the peak of their power.

He might not even have the chance to use the small black stone sculpture.

Perhaps as soon as he wished for murder, the opponent would erase him first.

The bustling market.

Because of Venerate Xinnie’s sudden appearance, it was like boiling water had suddenly been thrown in a giant iceberg.

Everything around Venerate Xinnie quickly fell into a dead silence.

In the blink of an eye, it was quiet except for the whistling wind.

Jiang Fan suppressed the fear in his heart, lest it be seen by Xinnie, and saluted:

"Disciple Jiang Fan greets Master Xin Nie!"

In the vast market, Jiang Fan’s not-so-loud words echoed unusually clear.

Venerate Xinnie’s eyelids drooped slightly as he gazed at Jiang Fan.

Without any emotion.

There was neither coldness nor murderous intent.

Yet it gave Jiang Fan an oppressive feeling like suffocation.

He slowly started to speak, hoarsely:

"Good disciple, you have hidden things quite well from your master!"

Jiang Fan’s heart was shaken, increasingly confirming that Venerate Xinnie definitely had grasped some evidence.

Believing he was the cultivator of the Void Flow Thunder Force.

His heart was filled with waves, yet outwardly he seemed calm and unperturbed, saying:

"Master, did the disciple do something wrong?"

"Please enlighten this disciple, Master."

Venerate Xinnie laughed dryly.

In that smile, there was an irrepressible anger and chill.

"Since the master has found you, you should understand your disguise is revealed."

"How long do you intend to deny?"

Behind him, Wei Wuji stepped forward, teasing: "Jiang Fan, stop acting!"

"The Venerate already knows you are the cultivator of Void Flow Thunder Force!"

Wei Wuji?

Why was he beside Venerate Xinnie?

Remembering Venerate Xinnie’s past visit to the New Tianji Pavilion, Jiang Fan’s eyes turned cold.

Was it Wei Wuji who led the way?

Given Venerate Xinnie’s ruthless nature, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion shouldn’t have remained intact.

It relied entirely on True Word Venerable’s presence to deter Venerate Xinnie.

Wei Wuji harbors vengeance against him and those around him!

This despicable creature!

He should have slain him with one sword at East Sea!

He forcibly suppressed his murderous intent and said deeply:

"Master, the disciple knows you have been searching the whole Taicang State for practitioners of the Void Flow Thunder Force."

"All these days, I have been diligently helping you search for suspicious individuals."

"I did not expect this suspicion would fall on me."

He let out a helpless sigh.

Wei Wuji sensed Jiang Fan’s killing intent and felt a chill in his heart.

Resolutely strengthened his determination to kill Jiang Fan.

"As I said, stop pretending."

"You cannot deceive and pass through this!"

"Venerate, whether he cultivated Void Flow Thunder Force or not, can be proved with a single test!"

Venerate Xinnie quietly watched Jiang Fan.

In his mind echoed the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s divination "Far yet near."

Besides Jiang Fan.

He couldn’t think of anyone else.

"This old man hates being deceived above all in his lifetime."

"If it truly is you."

"Do not blame this old man for making it impossible for you to seek life or death!"

His voice suddenly icy, filled with boundless murderous intent.

The Void Flow Thunder Force cultivator he sought worshipped at his gate as a disciple.

What a mockery is this?

Jiang Fan lowered his head and sighed: "Disciple has nothing to say."

"Whether you want to kill or quarter me, Master, it is up to you."

Venerate Xinnie did not waver because of his words.

The tip of his foot tapped the ground, and an overwhelming force enveloped Jiang Fan.

Creak.

The immense oppressing force caused the cobblestone under Jiang Fan’s feet to sink sharply.

His body was trembling uncontrollably under the suppression.

He was about to kneel.

Various forces within him surged uncontrollably.

Nascent Soul Power, Soul Power, Physique Power.

The Thunder Pill, Fire Pill, and Poison Pill in his abdomen also emerged successively.

But, nothing appeared regarding Void Flow Thunder Force.

Venerate Xinnie’s face, full with a cold demeanor, froze slightly.

Nothing?

A trace of confusion flashed through his mind.

Could it be that he found the wrong person?

Wei Wuji was dumbfounded!

It wasn’t Jiang Fan?

So, wouldn’t Jiang Fan escape a disaster?

Afterward, wouldn’t he come for revenge?

Thinking of this, he hastily said: "Venerate, he must have hidden it."

"Try once more."

Venerate Xinnie regained his senses and decisively magnified the pressure severalfold.

Poof!

Jiang Fan’s body swayed; the sudden immense pressure forced him to spit a mouthful of blood.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, almost kneeling.

Even so.

There was still no trace of Void Flow Thunder Force within him.

"What is going on?"

"Could the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s divination be wrong?"

Venerate Xinnie’s face completely changed.

His earnest conviction that Jiang Fan was indeed not the cultivator of Void Flow Thunder Force?

How could it be?

No one else fits the divination besides Jiang Fan!

Wei Wuji bit his teeth slightly.

This outcome, for him, was as though the sky had collapsed.

Recalling Jiang Fan’s terrifying scene of splitting East Sea with one sword, caused his scalp to go numb.

Jiang Fan would definitely kill him.

For sure!

Can’t let him live!

A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, he said: "Venerate!"

"Better wrong than let go!"

"Even if it’s not him, he is suspicious!"

"Suspicion is the original sin!"

Venerate Xinnie came back to his senses.

Looking coldly at Jiang Fan, the murderous intent in his eyes emerged.

Indeed.

Although there’s no evidence, Jiang Fan is indeed too suspicious!

Killing him wouldn’t be a mistake!

Jiang Fan coldly glared at Wei Wuji: "Hypocrite!"

"If I, Jiang Fan, do not die, I will kill you!"

Wei Wuji, startled by Jiang Fan’s gaze, hastily said:

"Venerate, strike quickly, remove the threat forever!"

Venerate Xinnie was ruthlessly decisive, without nonsense.

Soul-destructing rays shot from his eyes.

Jiang Fan felt a tremendous shock in his heart.

Just as he anticipated, merely transferring away the Void Flow Thunder Force might not guarantee his life!

Fortunately.

This place was White Horse Temple!

There’s someone who wouldn’t watch him die.

"Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva! If you don’t act now, I’m a goner!"

He shouted loudly.

Though far from White Horse Temple.

The Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva, who listens to the voices of all beings, had already heard the cry.

At a critical moment.

A powerful Buddhist chant reverberated from the depths of White Horse Temple.

"This child is fated with Buddhism. Venerate Xinnie, please put down the sword."

The chant contained immense willpower.

Even Venerate Xinnie, with raging murderous intent, was suppressed under this will.

His aged body trembled, looking towards White Horse Temple with trepidation.

It was evident, Bodhisattva’s intervention shocked him somewhat.

"Such profound Buddhism, I cannot escape its influence!"

Refocusing on Jiang Fan, his eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt.

Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva protected Jiang Fan?

Then, to kill or not to kill?
