Jiang Fanâs gaze trembled fiercely, full of disbelief.
Yun Wanxiao smiled: "I quite like that surprised expression of yours."
"Didnât expect it, did you? I can control your âHeavenly Thunder Six Partsâ."
As if feeling that Jiang Fan couldnât speak, unable to highlight his own cleverness.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Fan could open his mouth to speak.
"Youâve been lying to me all along!"
Yun Wanxiao smiled and said: "You still donât understand the essence of the Archaic Hunting."
"Everything can be hunted."
"Even close friends and relatives can turn into prey at the last moment, let alone you and me, who are strangers?"
Yun Wanxiaoâs smile deepened: "Of course, you were also cautious. No matter how kindly I acted, you always harbored vigilance towards me."
"But you would never have guessed that the âHeavenly Thunder Six Partsâ you practiced was merely a domain used by our Angel Clan to control slaves."
"Once practiced, you will become our slaves for generations."
"If I permit you to live, you live; if I command you to die, you must die."
"So, your slight precaution against me serves no purpose."
Jiang Fan looked extremely distressed:
"Why didnât you act earlier?"
Yun Wanxiao looked at the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd in Jiang Fanâs hand with both heat and dread.
"With such a dangerous gourd, how dare I act rashly?"
"Only now, when the gourd is activating and cannot be used against me, can I strike decisively and leave you no chance to resist."
With that, he flashed in front of Jiang Fan.
With a lift of his hand, he seized the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd.
Looking at the orange chains spreading inside, binding Liu Bianhuang, his smile widened.
"The treasure gourd and human acquired together."
"Oh, and your accomplishments too."
He raised his hand and grabbed the crown from above Jiang Fanâs head, merging it into his own crown.
A beam of light one hundred feet plus Jiang Fanâs one hundred sixty feet beam merged into two hundred sixty feet.
Far surpassing Young Master Xiang!
Yun Wanxiao laughed heartily: "Thank you for your effort."
"Thank you even more for making the wedding dress for me."
"As a reward, as your master, Iâll grant you release, freeing you from the suffering of slavery."
His eyes were smiling, yet his gaze was ice-cold.
The Bone Sword in his hand mercilessly pierced Jiang Fanâs heart.
He acted with extreme ruthlessness, without a shred of hesitation.
Because, just like the Heavenly Sword, he was jealous of Jiang Fanâs powerful domain.
Why should a mere ant from the Central Earth Realm possess potential above him?
He simply masked it well, not revealing it at that time.
Pfftâ
The Bone Sword entered, coldly passing through the body.
The sound of the heart being pierced followed.
However, what made Yun Wanxiao slightly stunned was that it wasnât Jiang Fanâs body that was pierced.
It was the back of a woman with flowing silver hair.
Was it the silver-haired Asura on the tigerâs back?
At the final moment, Green Pearl had no hesitation, instantaneously moving over to shield Jiang Fan from the fatal blow.
The cold sword edge pierced through the heart, the chill spreading from the heart to the whole body, making her gradually lose consciousness, limply leaning against Jiang Fanâs chest.
The delayed pain made her willow-leaf eyebrows bend slightly.
Yet she didnât utter a sound.
Enduring the pain, she looked up at Jiang Fan calmly and said:
"Jiang Fan, what I owed you, Iâve repaid."
"I take back my previous promise."
"In the next life, letâs be strangers and never meet again."
As Yun Wanxiao withdrew his sword, she felt even colder, her pained body trembling.
Then she lay weakly in Jiang Fanâs arms, silently closing her eyes.
Awaiting the death that belonged to her to arrive.
However, the death she imagined did not come, and even the pain on her body began to ebb away like a tide.
In her confusion, Yun Wanxiaoâs voice came from behind, with a hint of amusement.
"Ha... meaningless sacrifice."
"Well, at least it saves me from striking again."
Green Pearl opened her eyes in confusion, looking down only to find that the wound on her pierced chest had mysteriously vanished.
If the dress wasnât damaged, sheâd have thought everything just now was an illusion.
"Whatâs going on..."
As she mumbled to herself, a warm drop of blood fell on the tip of her nose.
She wiped it with her finger, a streak of dazzling crimson came into view.
She instinctively looked up, the first thing she saw was the flowing blood from the spot on Jiang Fanâs heart.
She was bewildered.
Clearly, this sword pierced her vital point, but it was Jiang Fan who got hurt?
Wait!
Green Pearl suddenly recalled Venerate Xinnieâs death.
When Jiang Fan suffered a fatal blow, it was Venerate Xinnie who embraced the Heart-shaped Copper Lock, transferring the damage Jiang Fan suffered.
That scene was exactly the same as now.
But she never received that copper lock...
Suddenly, Green Pearl remembered Jiang Fan borrowing a drop of her blood earlier!
Her mind immediately roared and trembled.
The opaque black Jade Box contained the Luck Transfer Lock!
That drop of blood was to let her refine the Luck Transfer Lock, becoming the owner of this lock.
Only in this way could the damage she received be transferred to someone else through the Luck Transfer Lock.
And this "someone else," Jiang Fan chose himself.
With the crucial battle approaching, Jiang Fan worried for her safety, so he provided her with a life-saving trump card.
Any damage she would be transferred back to Jiang Fan.
Understanding the cause and effect, Green Pearlâs previously locked heart was once again fiercely struck.
That essence blood she was too lazy to ask about was actually Jiang Fanâs final gift to her.
The calm in her eyes vanished, replaced with panic.
She urgently pressed against Jiang Fanâs bleeding heart, saying: "Whereâs your Heavenly Clothes Divine Water? Quickly take it out, Iâll help you take it."
Yun Wanxiao said indifferently: "Donât waste your effort."
"My Bone Sword contains my sacred aura; only the healing methods of our Angel Clan can heal it."
"Central Earthâs Spirit Pills are useless."
He raised his sword, aiming at Green Pearlâs heart.
But looking at her anxious back, he thought of a girl, and the raised sword slowly lowered.
"Forget it, the items are already in hand, slaughtering is meaningless."
"Besides, Iâll let you have a last farewell."
With a thought, he dispersed Jiang Fanâs Heavenly Thunder Six Parts.
Jiang Fan collapsed weakly towards the ground as if drained of all strength.
Green Pearl hurriedly held him, frantically searching his body for Spirit Pills, anxiously saying: "Donât die, you canât die."
Jiang Fan weakly extended his hand, pulling something out from his arms.
Green Pearl thought it was the Heavenly Clothes Divine Water and quickly pried open his hand.
But it wasnât for healing.
It was a Jade Box, with a strand of soul quietly glowing inside.
Green Pearl was stunned: "Is this a strand of my soul?"
"Wasnât it in the hands of the Black Sun King? Why is it with you?"
Jiang Fan leaned his powerless head on her shoulder and said: "I asked for it back from him."
"Asked?"
"Howâs that possible?"
Green Pearl stared at the soul strand, full of doubt:
"From what I know about the Black Sun King, he would never set me free."
"He would rather destroy the soul and kill me than let anyone else have me."
At this moment, the Rebellious Guy chanted a spell and emerged from the Space Mirror.
It glanced sideways at Green Pearl: "Of course, the Black Sun King wouldnât give it."
"This was exchanged for the Netherworld King and Princess Zi Jiang."
"And it was only obtained through negotiations with the royal tribe at the central settlement; it was a gamble with life."
"You, girl, are ungrateful and kept showing a sour face to the master."
"Iâm going to complain to Xu Youran when I get back, not letting you into the Jiang Familyâs gates."
