An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 596 Spikes

The seven swordsmen formed a defensive formation once more, but this time they crumbled at the first touch. All seven swords broke, and the seven men coughed up blood and fell unconscious.

The white-robed old man, who had been staring intently at Hu Fan, frowned deeply. The next moment, he turned his wrist and pointed his finger at Xu Fu in mid-air.

A sword aura, carrying the force to pierce through clouds and shatter the moon, collided with the blade light unleashed by Xu Fu.

In an instant, the sun and moon lost their light!

The intense collision of spiritual energy emitted a dazzling light, so bright that it was blinding.

The burst of spiritual energy, mixed with the shattered sword energy, erupted and shot out in all directions.

The next moment, the old man's white robe turned into shreds, and Xu Fu was also thrown dozens of feet away by the impact.

Even Hu Fan suffered as a result; despite his best efforts to defend himself, he still sustained more than a dozen cuts of varying sizes on his body.

Xu Fu grimaced in pain. The scattered sword energy struck his body as if he were being pierced by sharp blades. Not only his skin and flesh were in excruciating pain, but even his meridians were aching terribly.

"Ojuku!"

Xu Fu glanced at Hu Fan and saw that the old man had collapsed on the ground. He quickly flew over to check on him.

"I can't die!"

Hu Fan gritted his teeth and, while speaking, took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out two elixirs.

He tossed one to Xu Fu, and then threw the other directly into his own mouth, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

"Tail Constellation, it's not time to recuperate yet!"

Xu Fu offered a reminder and then turned to look at the white-robed old man.

At this point, he should be called the naked old man.

In just a few breaths, Xu Fu was shocked to find that the old man's face had aged considerably. His once snow-white beard and eyebrows had turned into a dull gray, and his body was almost soaked in blood.

"What's wrong with him?" Xu Fu exclaimed in astonishment.

"What else can you do? Die!"

Hu Fan snorted coldly, his tone not exactly pleased.

As one of the few old acquaintances he knew in the world, and even as an opponent, the fact that Bai Mei died so "casually" left Hu Fan with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Who is he?

Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that the other party was indeed lifeless.

It must be said, this old man is truly remarkable.

That blade of light had almost drained all his spiritual power; it was arguably the most powerful move he had ever made since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

The old man's sword energy was able to block the blade's edge, demonstrating his strong cultivation.

Unfortunately, the old man's body was too fragile and he couldn't withstand the impact.

"White Eyebrows, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Xu Fu was just putting the elixir into his mouth when Hu Fan's words almost made him choke.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader? That Cang Yun..."

"He is his disciple."

Xu Fu then understood why Cangyun's sword aura was so similar to that of the old man.

Xu Fu glanced at the old man again, and couldn't help but sigh.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect was the number one swordsman in the world, but it's ironic that such a person ultimately died from his own sword energy!

"Is he here to avenge Cangyun?"

Xu Fu then asked Hu Fan.

"It's just Cangyun, it's not that serious."

Hu Fan took the elixir, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

"Not for revenge?"

Xu Fu frowned. If what Hu Fan said was true, then things would be even more troublesome!

If it wasn't for revenge, then it could only be driven by self-interest. The Pill Alliance must have paid a heavy price to be able to enlist such a powerful figure as the leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This is a genuine Ninth-Rank Supreme, not comparable to those good-for-nothings who were tricked with two mid-to-low-grade spirit pills.

"What exactly is it for?"

Xu Fu couldn't understand it. The Pill Alliance wasn't like the Qilin Upper Spirit Academy, which had a "blood feud" with the Azure Dragon. Could it really be just for these spiritual creatures on Hundred Flowers Island?

Or……

Xu Fu suddenly realized a possibility.

gluttonous!

If it's to unseal the Taotie, then everything seems to make sense.

The Dan Alliance must have been controlled by the "Gluttonous Slaves"!

Thinking of this, Xu Fu quickly told Hu Fan his guess.

Hu Fan neither affirmed nor denied, but remained serious and silent.

"Let's burn that wrecked ship first."

In the end, Hu Fan did not respond to Xu Fu, but instead focused his attention on the large ship in the sky.

Just as Hu Fan was about to get up, he swayed and fell to the ground again, and the wound that had just stopped bleeding burst open again.

"You should rest, sir!"

Xu Fu got up, acting as if nothing had happened, showing no sign that he had just experienced a major battle.

This wasn't Xu Fu faking it; rather, the Heavenly Path Technique had already refined the sword energy within his body, and with the high-grade spiritual pill given to him by Hu Fan, Xu Fu had already recovered to about 70-80%.

"Stinky boy!"

Hu Fan cursed again. He hated it when people said he was old, but at that moment he truly felt that he couldn't deny that he was getting old!

"Take it!"

Hu Fan raised his hand and threw the longsword in his hand over.

Xu Fu took the sword, gripped the warm hilt, and felt the scorching spiritual energy emanating from it.

"Do you know what to do if you can't beat them?" Hu Fan asked coldly.

"Run!" Xu Fu replied with a smile.

"Humph!"

Hu Fan snorted coldly and struggled to get up again.

"Ojuku..."

Xu Fu was about to help when Hu Fan slapped him away.

"I'm not crippled yet!"

Hu Fan shouted, and with a sudden burst of power from one leg, he was instantly launched into the air.

"Ouch!"

The next moment, Hu Fan fell into a clump of grass some distance away.

Xu Fu pretended not to see it. Since this old man was so concerned about saving face, he might as well teach him a lesson. He had more important things to do right now.

With a mighty flap of its wings, Xu Fu flew towards the direction of the savior ship.

The people on the Shenzhou must have realized Xu Fu's intentions, and immediately dispatched countless puppets.

Xu Fu remained fearless as the densely packed "wooden figures" rained down upon him.

He infused the Fire Tiger Sword with spiritual power, and the fiery red spiritual power enveloped his entire body, transforming him into a giant, blazing arrow that hurtled straight toward the Salvation Ship.

No puppet could withstand the sharpness of the Fire Tiger Sword. The scorching fire elemental power was the nemesis of these wooden puppets. Many puppets were instantly burned to a crisp just by being swept by the fire elemental power.

"upbraid!"

Xu Fu called out again.

He had intended to unleash another burst of power, just like he had with the blade earlier, but this time the reaction was mediocre and far from magnificent, which disappointed Xu Fu.

However, the surging fire elemental power did awaken Little Yellow, who had been sleeping for a long time.

With a clear chirp, a pale blue bird emerged from the flames.

Seemingly sensing Xu Fu's hostility, Xiao Huang didn't run around wildly this time, but instead joined Xu Fu in attacking the savior ship.

"All!"

A muffled thud.

The Fire Tiger Sword pierced through countless puppets and became embedded in the God of Salvation.

Compared to the massive Shenzhou spacecraft, Xu Fu was like a mosquito that could be seen everywhere on a hot day, and the Fire Tiger Sword in his hand was like a tiny, almost imperceptible thorn.

But this seemingly insignificant "sharp" actually pierced through!
