Chapter 616 Island Lord! It really wasn't me!
Chapter 616 Island Lord! It really wasn't me!
No one answered him.
The island was deathly silent, with only the mournful sound of the sea breeze passing through the empty caves.
Chen Fan watched this scene from the shadows, then silently rushed to Song Tianren's cave and retrieved all eight array flags at the same time.
The moment the trapping formation was broken, the cave entrance exploded open, and Song Tianren's demonic power surged out!
He sensed something was wrong when he was trapped by the formation, and now that he has broken out of the formation, he bumps into Li Jiuyuan, who has just returned to the island.
The two locked eyes.
Song Tianren's face was gloomy, and Li Jiuyuan's eyes were bloodshot.
"Song Tianren!" Li Jiuyuan roared, his bloodthirsty demonic energy surging like boiling water. "You pretended to advise me not to go out, then turned around and slaughtered everyone on the island! You are ruthless!"
Song Tianren's pupils contracted slightly, and he said coldly, "Island Lord, I was trapped in the cave and only just broke out of the formation. This matter has nothing to do with me; someone is interfering."
"None of your business?" Li Jiuyuan laughed angrily, his voice hoarse. "I just exchanged dozens of blows with you on the sea. I recognize your demonic arts clearly! And you still want to deny it?"
He gave Song Tianren no chance to explain. He activated the Blood Demon Scripture at full power, and the blood demonic energy transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, slamming down on Song Tianren's head. "If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not human!"
Song Tianren's face darkened completely.
He knew he had been tricked, and the trick was extremely clever!
He thought to himself that the person who had secretly attacked him had not only imitated his demonic arts to ambush Li Jiuyuan, but had also set up a trapping array on the island to seal him off!
He also calculated the exact time Li Jiuyuan would return to the island, allowing him to break through the formation just as Li Jiuyuan returned.
Every step was perfectly timed, leaving no room for him to prove his innocence.
This was by no means a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned scheme.
But Song Tianren was never one to be easily bullied.
Since it doesn't make sense, then I won't explain it.
If Li Jiuyuan wants to fight, he will fight him to the very end.
Amidst a multitude of thoughts, Song Tianren's demonic aura spread out as if it were tangible, shattering Li Jiuyuan's blood-red giant palm into pieces.
He formed hand seals, activating the Heavenly Demon Soul Devouring Technique to its fullest extent. Behind him, a ten-zhang-tall, pitch-black demonic shadow appeared, its eyes blood-red, and it spewed a jet of black breath towards Li Jiuyuan.
Li Jiuyuan used the Blood Fiend Shield formed by the Blood Demon True Scripture to withstand the attack, but was forced back several steps by the shock, and the stone path beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.
The two fought fiercely in the air above Demon Abyss Island, and each collision made the entire island tremble slightly.
Although Li Jiuyuan was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his injuries from the battle on Black Reef Island had not yet healed, and he had also had his spiritual power depleted by Chen Fan at sea. At this moment, he was no longer in his peak condition.
Although Song Tianren was only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, his Heavenly Demon Soul Devouring Technique was extremely domineering, with each move containing terrifying power capable of fighting beyond his level.
The two fought for dozens of rounds, and were evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
Just then, a dark red beam of light shot into the sky from the island!
Surprisingly, Chen Fan appeared at the edge of the battlefield as Gui Muzi: "Island Lord! I've come to help you!"
Seeing that he was unharmed, Li Jiuyuan was first taken aback, then overjoyed: "Ghost Muzi! You're not dead! Good, come with me and kill this traitor!"
Chen Fan immediately joined the battle, teaming up with Li Jiuyuan to attack Song Tianren.
He didn't use his full strength, always showing his cultivation level as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but every move he made perfectly blocked Song Tianren's retreat, forcing Song Tianren to confront Li Jiuyuan head-on.
Song Tianren was attacked from both sides, and even with his strong abilities, he was starting to struggle and gradually lost ground.
Soon, the three of them had been locked in combat for dozens of moves!
Finally, Song Tianren was struck in the chest by Li Jiuyuan's fist, staggering back dozens of feet, a trickle of dark black demonic blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
However, the fierce look in his eyes did not fade; instead, it became even more intense.
He formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and his demonic energy suddenly contracted to its limit before erupting with even greater force than before.
Behind it, the dark demonic figure let out a silent howl, its demonic power surging several times over!
With both palms striking down, Song Tianren sent Li Jiuyuan flying, crashing heavily into the ruins of the main hall in the center of the island. Li Jiuyuan coughed up demonic blood, his chest caved in, severely injured by the attack.
Song Tianren was also in a bad mood.
This attack consumed most of his demonic energy, causing him to stagger slightly and his face to turn almost transparently pale.
He took a deep breath, ready to press his advantage, when Chen Fan suddenly appeared beside Li Jiuyuan.
"Island Master!" Chen Fan grabbed Li Jiuyuan and helped him up, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.
Li Jiuyuan raised his head with difficulty, about to say something, when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
Chen Fan's hand, which had been resting on his shoulder, had somehow transformed into a bloodthirsty hand, its five fingers suddenly snapping together.
Li Jiuyuan's eyes bulged out instantly, and a hoarse hoarse sound came from his throat. The protective demonic energy of the Nascent Soul level was completely broken by Chen Fan's power of cultivating both immortals and demons at such close range. Then, the blood demonic energy burst violently from the connection between his head and body.
Chen Fan twisted his head off, and blood gushed from the severed neck, staining most of the ruins dark red.
The twisted face still bore traces of unbelievable terror and anger!
Even in death, Li Jiuyuan did not understand why the deputy island lord, whom he had personally promoted, would turn against him at this time.
Then, Chen Fan expressionlessly rolled Li Jiuyuan's head, along with a dark red demon core that flew out from the severed neck, into a jade box that had been prepared beforehand!
And without hesitation, he stuffed the storage bag into his pocket as well.
Then, a flash of spiritual light appeared around him, completely removing Gui Muzi's demonic disguise and revealing his true face.
With a white face and no beard, and an indifferent gaze, he was the old eunuch that Song Tianren had been waiting for for half a month!
Song Tianren stood still, his dark pupils first shrinking, then suddenly widening.
He finally understood!
It turns out that Gui Muzi is Chen Fan.
From beginning to end, the person he was so eagerly waiting for to walk into his trap was actually right under his nose!
Moreover, this person not only swaggered into becoming the deputy island master of Demon Abyss Island, but also personally slaughtered Black Reef Island, gaining Li Jiuyuan's complete trust, and then personally turned everything upside down.
Song Tianren himself was kept in the dark from beginning to end, making him look like a ridiculous clown!
"Chen Fan!"
Song Tianren's hoarse roar sent shivers down the spines of the entire Demon Abyss Island: "You're courting death!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Fan's lips curled up, and he transformed into a dark red streak of light, disappearing into the void!
Then, a deafening voice rang out!
"Master Song, thanks to you these past few days, I was able to kill Li Jiuyuan. I'll remember this favor. Come to the capital for a drink sometime!"
Upon hearing this, Song Tianren's face turned ashen. Riding the wind, he wished he could tear the old eunuch to pieces, and said:
"Chen Fan, if I don't kill you, I swear I'm not a human being."
