Chapter 2189 - 2233: No Negotiation

Chapter 2189: Chapter 2233: No Negotiation

In that instant, blood splattered, suspended motionless as it reached the time-frozen area in the distance.

"Ah~~"

The Widow Wolf Sage let out a heart-wrenching cry, as the white bone wings behind him suddenly spread out, transforming into sharp bone spikes that shot toward Jiang Fan at close range.

Clang clang clang——

But Jiang Fan was already prepared, and a large array of black Array Stones suddenly appeared in front of him.

The bone spikes struck them and were all deflected!

"Array Stones?" The Widow Wolf Sage was taken aback.

He finally understood why Yu Yan and Yu Mian could escape from the Array Stone’s hold, and why Jiang Fan was unfazed by them.

Because Jiang Fan was the actual possessor of most of the Array Stones!

The core Array Stone must also be in his hands!

And after severing his waist with a sword strike, Jiang Fan raised his sword to slice him from below upward, intending to divide him in two.

The Widow Wolf Sage was utterly terrified, decisively raising his left hand to sever his own right arm to escape Jiang Fan.

Then his upper body flew backward fleeing.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to grab his lower body.

Apart from the intrinsic value of his body, he was wearing the Daqian Divine Kingdom War Boots on his right leg!

He could afford to lose anything but these boots!

Rip!

But, a crimson shadow first grabbed hold of the war boots.

It was a crimson claw tied with a sinew of some unknown beast.

"Drop my item!" Jiang Fan shouted while pulling hard.

The claw, capable of tearing a sage’s flesh right off, couldn’t possibly fail to remove a boot fitted over a foot?

With a swift motion, the war boots were snatched off by the claw, quickly flying back to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan didn’t dare to touch them; he placed them on the Bronze Hall and stored them in the Space Storage Device together.

"My war boots!" The Widow Wolf Sage roared, as a dangerous black wolf shadow appeared behind him.

Simultaneously, the Widow Wolf Sage focused, preparing to unleash some formidable Killing Device.

Jiang Fan snorted.

Pointing the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd at him, he shouted, "Widow Wolf Sage!"

Upon hearing his name, the Widow Wolf Sage’s hackles stood on end!

Ignoring the war boots, he immediately used Instantaneous Movement to escape!

Yet, after escaping to the distance, he realized he wasn’t shackled!

The chains remained wrapped around the No Regrets Great Sage!

Jiang Fan had been bluffing!

As the war boots were saved, the time freeze shattered, restoring order to the world.

The No Regrets Great Sage dared not move.

In fact, he had already released himself from restriction amidst the time freeze.

Yet he dared not make a rash move.

Silently, he awaited the Widow Wolf Sage to kill or seriously injure Jiang Fan, planning his next move afterward.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan set a trap for the Widow Wolf Sage, forcing him to flee in defeat!

Now, it was his turn to face Jiang Fan alone.

The Time Law he had summoned was something he dared not wield, his mind spinning to devise plans of escape.

Jiang Fan turned his gaze upon him.

The No Regrets Great Sage’s heart skipped a beat, and he spoke deeply, "Young one, I am the Great Sage of the Martial Vault. If anything happens to me, you won’t leave the Martial Vault alive!"

Jiang Fan replied coldly, "I’m not afraid of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, and I’m not afraid of killing you, a mere Three Calamities Realm sage."

He made to capture him.

The No Regrets Great Sage’s expression changed rapidly, "Hold on! I... I am willing to pay with treasures to atone!"

What he received in response was Jiang Fan’s calm utterance of the word "collect."

Rip——

The chains swiftly contracted, pulling the No Regrets Great Sage rapidly toward the gourd with irresistible force.

He couldn’t sustain himself any longer, letting out a trembling cry of fear, "Spare me a chance for possession, spare..."

His words were abruptly cut off!

The Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd, activated by two lumps of the Three Calamities Realm Law, effortlessly captured him without any hitch.

And without the slightest hesitation.

Shaking it three times!

Amidst shrieks, the last trace of the No Regrets Great Sage in the world faded away.

Jiang Fan’s expression remained calm.

Keeping the No Regrets Great Sage alive might allow him to negotiate with the Martial Vault, securing a great opportunity.

That would be wiser.

But not all matters require profit as a measure.

The woman who was hurt offered no room for negotiation!

His gaze, electric and piercing, swept once more toward the Widow Wolf Sage, who had long fled.

The surrounding aura was deliberately cleared by him, making tracking difficult.

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed regret, "Consider yourself lucky!"

Actually, if the Widow Wolf Sage hadn’t been too confident in the time freeze, he would likely have lost.

In a direct confrontation, he probably wouldn’t have been an opponent.

The Widow Wolf Sage possessed numerous techniques and carried many treasures from the Divine Capital.

With Jiang Fan having few cards up his sleeve, the outcome of their match was uncertain.

Swish——

The Fuyun Great Sage arrived with Liu Qingxian.

Her gaze intentionally or unintentionally drifted toward the gourd in Jiang Fan’s hand, a trace of relief flashing in her heart.

If she hadn’t become part of Jiang Fan’s family, she feared she’d be hunting Jiang Fan too.

It’s a good thing, otherwise she’d likely have ended up inside that gourd.

Jiang Fan shook the gourd and poured out a crystal-like seed filled with potent time power.

The naked eye could still see a miniature No Regrets Great Sage.

He expressed with an apologetic look, "Sorry, I couldn’t resist killing him, leaving you with one less Three Calamities Realm expert in the Martial Vault."

This affair was no small matter, certain to cause a stir within the Martial Vault.

Whether it might implicate the Fuyun Great Sage was unknown.

"What do you mean you killed him? It was the Widow Wolf Sage who did it!"

"I am the witness!"

The Fuyun Great Sage corrected Jiang Fan’s statement.

Uh——

Jiang Fan was stunned, glancing around, only realizing at that moment.

The battle that occurred here was only known by heaven, earth, them, and the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.

But for some reason, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis couldn’t come back.

Between the outsider Widow Wolf Sage and the local Great Sage Fuyun, whose words are more credible is self-evident.

"Exactly, I saw it too; it was that wicked Widow Wolf who did it!"

Liu Qingxian choked back laughter as she spoke.

Yes, with the addition of a Sword Saint succession candidate as witness.

Let the Widow Wolf Sage wear this hat well!

At this point.

The world trembled intensely.

Strong ones sensed fierce combat here and hastened to the location!

Jiang Fan quickly stored away the Taichu Seed and the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd, then quietly stood behind the Fuyun Great Sage.

A few breaths later.

Six powerful figures exuding Three Calamities Realm aura arrived!

Even just standing there, their presence caused the light to distort and the space to ripple.

So much so that wanting a clear view of their true form, one’s sight would be redirected elsewhere.

"Fuyun, what happened?" Among them, a Great Sage with particularly outstanding aura spoke with an air of authority.

Jiang Fan understood; they, along with Fuyun, were precisely the seven Three Calamities Realm figures he had sensed from Divine Strategy City earlier!

Fuyun performed a salute, stating, "Reporting to Long Xu senior, it was the demise of the No Regrets Great Sage."

The six Great Sages were collectively shaken, the aura they emitted causing the surrounding void to fracture.

The Fuyun Great Sage quickly shielded Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian behind her, suppressing her inner unease, stating, "Long Xu senior, it was a..."

The Long Xu Sage raised his hand, "No need for further explanation. I know who was responsible."

"Do not speak his name."

Within his tone lay a touch of apprehension.

Eh?

The Fuyun Great Sage was taken aback, as were Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian.

Long Xu Sage remarked solemnly, "Just now, Jian Wuchou nearly fell at that person’s hands."

"Turning over his valuables to the Soul Refining Hall was the only reason he survived."

Huh!

Jiang Fan was bewildered.

This... Who exactly are they talking about?

Was there perhaps another strong figure unknown to them, always lurking in the shadows?
