Chapter 375: Chapter 140: Night-Roaming Cloud Dragon, Soul Banner Devours Bandits, The True Purpose of Yue Mankong’s Mission

Just then, Heaven-Flipping Saber and his gang of bandits also moved to encircle him.

"You’re dead, kid! You dared to mess with us? With her Excellency here, there’s no escape for you!"

"Kill him! Avenge our brothers!"

"He dared to mess with us? Make sure he doesn’t get out of here alive!"

Seeing Chu Fan surrounded, the bandits in the distance shouted and jeered, as if they could already picture him being torn limb from limb.

Heaven-Flipping Saber and the black-robed woman flanked Chu Fan, trapping him between them.

Sensing that Chu Fan’s aura wasn’t particularly strong, Heaven-Flipping Saber felt a little more at ease. He roared, "Who are you? How dare you come to my territory and cause trouble!"

Chu Fan stood with his blade in hand, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before he spoke coolly, "Demon Suppression Bureau."

The three words landed like a clap of thunder.

The faces of the bandits, including Heaven-Flipping Saber, paled in shock, their eyes filled with fear.

But as they scanned the surroundings and saw no other ambushers, they calmed down slightly.

A vicious glint flashed in Heaven-Flipping Saber’s eyes as his mind raced. ’The Demon Suppression Bureau will never let me go. Now that I’ve run into one of them, I might as well just kill him and throw my lot in completely with the Moon Worship Sect. That might be my only chance of survival!’

At that thought, without waiting for the black-robed woman to speak, he let out a great roar. His Ghost Head Saber whistled through the air as he executed a "Powerful Slash of Hua Mountain," bringing it down viciously toward Chu Fan’s head.

But in the face of this ferocious slash, Chu Fan merely slid half a step back and to the side.

His Thunder Blade swung out in a simple, direct motion. It was as fast as lightning, striking first despite being the second to move.

Seven-Star Bead Slash, Ghost Wheel Slash!

A cold glint of light flashed from the blade!

SPURT!

Heaven-Flipping Saber’s head flew into the air as blood erupted from his neck like a fountain!

The eyes on the severed head still stared in disbelief at its own headless body.

Then, the headless corpse collapsed to the ground with a heavy THUD!

The cacophony of jeers came to an abrupt halt.

All the bandits were like strangled ducks, their mouths agape and eyes wide, unable to believe their powerful leader had been so effortlessly beheaded with a single slash.

The entire area was instantly petrified, falling deathly silent!

In that instant of dead silence, the black-robed woman moved!

The thin sword in her hand suddenly thrust forward!

The tip of her blade vibrated, transforming into a sky full of cold stars that enveloped Chu Fan, aiming for all his vital points. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Her speed was astonishing, and her Swordsmanship was as deadly as it was refined!

But at that very moment, the profound Spirit Array Map inside Chu Fan’s body suddenly flared with brilliant light, activating at full power!

In an instant, the world seemed to slow down in Chu Fan’s perception.

The sword light, once as fast as lightning and leaving Residual Images, was now perfectly clear in his eyes. He could even perceive the subtle trajectory of every wisp of Sword Qi.

Even so, he chose to be clever...

Chu Fan deliberately let a look of shock cross his face, as if he hadn’t expected her Swordsmanship to be so masterful, and his dodge was half a beat too slow.

SHINK!

The black-robed woman’s thin sword struck precisely where Chu Fan’s heart should be!

"A hit!"

"Her Excellency is incredible!"

"Fantastic!"

"Kill him!"

The bandits snapped out of their shock.

At the sight, they erupted in ecstatic cheers!

But their cheers had barely begun before they died in their throats.

The moment her sword tip touched Chu Fan’s clothes, the black-robed woman’s expression changed dramatically.

She felt as if her blade had struck an impossibly tough layer of Battle Armor, and it wouldn’t penetrate another fraction of an inch!

’Not good!’

She knew she’d been tricked. She tried to withdraw her sword and retreat, but it was too late!

At some point, Chu Fan’s left palm had become wreathed in an aura of deathly, extreme cold.

Like a phantom, it moved far faster than she could react, slamming viciously into her Chest Acupoint!

"Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand!"

SPURT!

As if struck by lightning, the black-robed woman’s chest caved in instantly.

She coughed up a spray of blood mixed with fragments of her internal organs, her body flying backward like a kite with a severed string.

The horror had not yet faded from her eyes when Chu Fan’s figure appeared behind her like a shadow.

Using the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step, his speed was many times faster than that of this orthodox Moon Worship Cultist!

BAM!

Another palm strike landed squarely on the center of her back!

Two forces—the Extreme Cold Qi and the Yellow Springs Death Qi—instantly erupted inside her, frantically eroding her meridians and life force!

The black-robed woman crashed heavily to the ground, spitting up another mouthful of blood.

She struggled to climb to her feet but only felt her body growing cold and rigid. Her Primordial Qi was dissipating, and she couldn’t even stand steadily.

She stared in terror at the slowly approaching Chu Fan, unable to comprehend—

How could someone from the Demon Suppression Bureau have mastered the Moon Worship Sect’s Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step and Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand to such a terrifying degree?

And what about that defense that had completely blocked her sword...?

Chu Fan’s speed was phantom-like, and he closed the distance in an instant.

Terrified out of her wits, the black-robed woman used the last of her strength to cry out hoarsely, "W-wait! I have something to say!"

Chu Fan stopped about ten feet away, his Thunder Blade angled toward the ground as he watched her coldly.

He wasn’t in any hurry.

She had taken two direct hits from his Extreme Night Cold Prison Hand; the deathly cold qi was more than enough to completely rob her of any ability to resist.

Not to mention, the first palm strike had already caved in her chest...

Chu Fan asked in a cold voice, "What exactly is this ’key’ your Moon Worship Sect is looking for? What is it used for?"

"I don’t know." The black-robed woman shook her head with difficulty. "No one knows what it is except for the Divine Sacrifice Envoy... I only heard that it can be used to communicate with the Ancient Gods... We are just following the Divine Sacrifice Envoy’s orders to find it..."

"Then what use are you to me?" The words had barely left her mouth when a cold light glinted in Chu Fan’s eyes, and his Thunder Blade swung out.

The blade flashed. The black-robed woman’s head fell to the ground, her face frozen in a mask of shock and indignation.

The forest once again fell deathly silent.

The surviving bandits stared at the Demon God-like man before them, completely dumbfounded.

Even their "Excellency," an expert at the Fourth Heaven of the Divine Power Realm, had been slain with ease. How could they possibly have an ounce of fighting spirit left?

"Run!"

Someone screamed, and the remaining bandits, crying out in terror, scattered in every direction like headless chickens.

Expressionless, Chu Fan once again took out his Sunset Bow and a Purple Bamboo Arrow.
