The two combatants had already closed considerable distance, and Fan Yuanhai's particular striking angle proved genuinely unusual and difficult to counter. Ge Qingchuan found herself entirely unable to properly block this particular strike, forced instead to abandon her own weapon entirely, leaping backward to avoid the incoming blow.Fan Yuanhai's underlying strategy involved forcing Ge Qingchuan to abandon her weapon entirely.Once Ge Qingchuan lost her particular flexible sword, the weapon specifically countering his own combat style would no longer pose any genuine threat, providing him sufficient opportunity to successfully escape.Watching his palm strike close to within mere inches of Ge Qingchuan's chest, Fan Yuanhai felt genuinely confident this particular maneuver would succeed entirely. But at that exact moment, Ge Qingchuan's hand, still gripping her sword's hilt, suddenly pulled backward sharply, a flash of cold light erupting as Fan Yuanhai's left arm was severed cleanly

Mo Qian held registered disciple status, while Fan Yuanhai remained technically an outer disciple. His addressing Mo Qian as "Brother" reflected both genuine respect toward his accomplishment and the natural camaraderie shared between fellow sect members.As Fan Yuanhai spoke, he slowly approached Mo Qian's position."Brother Fan, you appear genuinely injured?" Mo Qian's gaze swept across Fan Yuanhai's severed arm, his own expression carefully composed."It's nothing serious—I nearly didn't escape those Filthy Blood demons with my life intact. Fortunately, fate proved kind to me." Fan Yuanhai studied Mo Qian with visible wariness, his brow furrowed slightly.When Fan Yuanhai had originally departed their traveling group back at the city gate, Mo Qian had already registered genuine concern regarding his departure.Now, this particular individual had suddenly reappeared directly before him.Mo Qian genuinely doubted Fan Yuanhai's stated concern for his own safety represented his true mo

However, having only just launched himself into motion, within mere breaths, Fan Yuanhai's vision suddenly began doubling, his footing growing increasingly unsteady.The poison, originally confined purely to his meridians, had now spread rapidly into his muscles and internal organs, accelerated dramatically by his own frantic, desperate flight.He himself remained entirely unaware that his entire body had already turned a brilliant, unmistakable crimson red, bright as fresh blood!This particular coloring proved considerably more vivid and pronounced than what Xie Daohan had displayed at the time of his own death!Fan Yuanhai leapt forward once more, but mid-air, his body suddenly froze entirely, then plummeted straight downward.Mo Qian, several feet behind, leapt forward several additional times before finally stopping, studying Fan Yuanhai's collapsed form with cautious, wary attention.Fan Yuanhai had fallen onto his back, and Mo Qian clearly observed his face had turned entirely

This particular reasoning explained precisely why Zhu Qunxiang had specifically consulted Amo moments earlier. Though technically not a formal sect envoy herself, within genuine combat circumstances, only those possessing actual combat strength genuinely held meaningful authority to weigh in on such decisions.Had Amo not offered her confirming nod, Zhu Qunxiang genuinely wouldn't have dared venture into the dense forest at all.The moment everyone began walking down the official road, a sudden gust of wind swept through, scattering the debris and fragments littering the ground.Suddenly, a piece of paper caught within the swirling wind fluttered through the air. Ximen Kan spotted it from the corner of his eye, leaping forward to snatch the paper directly.The paper displayed a cluster of ink illustrations.Studying it briefly, Ximen Kan couldn't help but sigh. His collection of erotic artwork appeared to have been thoroughly ruined throughout this particular ordeal.Under ordinary ci

The cart's pace remained genuinely slow throughout, everyone's hearts heavy with exhaustion and grief. This particular unhurried journey provided welcome opportunity for everyone to properly recover somewhat.Within a section of dense forest bordering the official road, three figures remained concealed within the tree shadows, watching the three slowly moving carts progress along the moonlit road, their collective attention gradually fixing specifically on Amo, walking steadily alongside the cart...Dang Haihong remarked, "Miss Qingchuan, that particular individual killed Yu Lieting with a single decisive strike!"Ge Qingchuan remained silent. She felt no particular surprise that whoever had successfully killed Fan Hanzhou had similarly dispatched Yu Lieting with equal, decisive efficiency.Ge Qingchuan turned to study Dang Haihong and Xiao Nan standing behind her.She had originally brought a substantial group of operatives on this particular mission—only these two remained alive now
