"Xi He?" When Nuwa saw Xi He, she immediately felt the situation was beyond her control.
Now, in her eyes, Ye Fan had completely lost the ability to resist. This was her best chance to kill Ye Fan. If she didn’t seize the opportunity, she knew that the current Ye Fan would inevitably become a great threat. But with Xi He’s assistance, it wouldn’t be so easy to kill Ye Fan, just as Xi He said, the Nuwa before them was merely a clone.
Nuwa angrily said, "Xi He, how dare you come and ruin my plans! Are you tired of living?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Nuwa intended to kill Ye Fan first and then deal with Xi He. Nuwa consolidated all her power and directly attacked Ye Fan. In her view, Xi He couldn’t harm her, and Ye Fan could not withstand her attack.
A powerful force of life accompanied by Spiritual Energy rushed towards Ye Fan’s vital point. Ye Fan could now only use Pure Yang Spiritual Energy to defend himself, his combat power significantly diminished. Originally, Nuwa’s cultivation level was higher than his, making him appear to be awaiting death.
Even Xi He was powerless, as Ye Fan’s surroundings were enveloped by the strong shielding power of Nuwa’s clone. Although the Nuwa before them was just a clone, her power had been cultivated for tens of thousands of years and was not much inferior to Xi He’s.
"Boom!" A tremendous explosion echoed, and Ye Fan vanished instantly, as if he had been reduced to dust by Nuwa’s impact. Xi He rushed over but was too late.
"Hahaha..." After killing Ye Fan, Nuwa was very pleased, and laughter rang out. Xi He attacked, but she didn’t even bother to dodge, letting Xi He’s palm send her flying.
Nuwa landed and spat out a mouthful of blood, but Xi He couldn’t continue the attack, realizing that with her own strength, she couldn’t possibly kill Nuwa.
Though Nuwa’s clone was not as skilled as Xi He, Nuwa possessed the power of life, rendering her clone immortal. To kill this Nuwa would require monstrous cultivation, beyond what Xi He could achieve at the moment.
"Why not kill me? You said I am just a clone; my cultivation is far beyond yours!" Nuwa remained smugly confident. "Even Ye Fan can die by my hand! Hahaha, Xi He, don’t you see how wrong it was to betray me?"
Xi He retorted coldly, "Nuwa, you’re too careless. If the master were truly dead, how could I, bound by a Blood Oath with him, still be standing here intact?"
"What?" Nuwa’s triumphant expression froze immediately as she realized this problem.
Both Xi He and Xuan Nu had signed a Blood Oath with Ye Fan. If Ye Fan were dead, those who signed the oath with him would also die instantly. Since Xi He stood unharmed before her, it indicated one thing: Ye Fan was not dead.
"Impossible! Ye Fan can’t have escaped; I sealed the surrounding space earlier, and he isn’t able to use spatial energy to flee!" Nuwa laughed maniacally, "Ye Fan’s elemental power has been controlled by me; he cannot use spatial power. He must have turned into dust. The reason you’re not dead is that your Blood Oath has issues. Such oaths are legacies from ancient cultivators, and there’s much you still don’t understand! Haha, Ye Fan is certainly dead now!"
Even as Nuwa spoke, she doubted the truth herself, let alone Xi He.
Xi He shook her head and said, "Nuwa, you’re too conceited. You’re merely a clone. I don’t know how many clones Nuwa truly has, but they all seem tasked with the same mission—to kill Ye Fan. You’re just being exploited by Nuwa’s main body. Although I can’t kill you, I won’t let you leave. I’ll restrain you and let the master deal with you when he returns. Then... you’ll face a terrible fate!"
"You think you can stop me? Come back after cultivating for several tens of thousands of years!"
Nuwa said, attacking towards Xi He, though she realized there was still a gap in their cultivation levels. Yet she had an "ace", which was Shen Yan, who had been in a state of mental collapse behind her.
"Little girl, what are you waiting for? Kill Xi He; she’s your enemy and one of Ye Fan’s women. Kill her!" Screamed Nuwa, like a madwoman, seeing everyone as enemies, using Shen Yan to attack Xi He. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Shen Yan was still engulfed in inexplicable agony, her memories sealed, unable to remember much, but she couldn’t resist Nuwa’s command and attacked Xi He directly.
Xi He was in a dilemma upon seeing someone who looked exactly like her mistress, Li Zhaojun, coming to attack her. Shen Yan’s identity was something Ye Fan himself only realized afterward. Xi He couldn’t determine if the woman in front was Li Zhaojun.
With Ye Fan not dead, she dared not act disrespectfully towards her mistress.
"Are you capable of killing her? Haha, you don’t dare, do you? You think Ye Fan is still alive, so you don’t dare kill her?" Nuwa pridefully taunted. Both she and Shen Yan attacked Xi He, using Shen Yan as a shield to block Xi He’s attack route. Even if there was danger, it would be Shen Yan who would bear it.
Xi He was indeed perplexed, nearly equal in strength to Nuwa’s clone, and controlling her alone wasn’t easy; now with Shen Yan, she was even more troubled.
At this moment, Xi He suddenly condensed a force similar to Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, aiming it directly at Nuwa.
She had prepared to withdraw her power in an instant if she accidentally harmed the "Li Zhaojun" before her, launching the attack in a passive situation.
"Xi He, overestimating yourself! You’re seeking your own doom!" Nuwa’s clone was aware that her cultivation level was close to Xi He’s but maintained an arrogant confidence, believing Xi He’s attack posed no threat, launching her own counterattack at Xi He’s vital point.
The two powers clashed above Shen Yan’s head, causing sudden space-time distortion, with Shen Yan disappearing instantly, just like Ye Fan, without a trace.
Meanwhile, Nuwa and Xi He were knocked back, their cultivation proving evenly matched.
