Chapter 614 The Island Massacre! Chen Fan's Prestige Soars!
Old Demon Tu was both shocked and furious. He gritted his teeth and activated the island-protecting poisonous fog array, enveloping the entire Black Reef Island in a thick layer of dark green poisonous fog. At the same time, he ordered the demonic cultivators on the island to defend with all their might.
However, Chen Fan had already silently bypassed the main battlefield, using the Fixing Word Technique to fix the structure of the Poison Mist Array one by one, and then transformed the Black Soul Banner into a dark red spear and fiercely stabbed it into the core of the array.
The poisonous fog array trembled violently, and countless fine cracks appeared on the light screen. Then, Li Jiuyuan punched down again, smashing the entire array into pieces.
The battle formation was broken!
Chen Fan rushed onto the island first, followed closely by Pei Qian and other elites from Demon Abyss Island.
Before the demonic cultivators on Black Reef Island could organize an effective defense, they were caught off guard by this sudden attack that broke through their formation.
Chen Fan took the lead and casually smashed two Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who were blocking his way into a pulp with his Blood Fiend Hand!
As the Black Soul Banner unfurled, dozens of streaks of blood-red light spread out in all directions like a spiderweb. Wherever they passed, the souls of the demonic cultivators were completely extracted from their bodies, screaming as they were sucked into the banner.
Such astonishing and terrifying killing methods made Pei Qian and other elders of Demon Abyss Island follow behind Chen Fan to harvest the remaining enemies. They looked at each other and saw an indescribable complexity in each other's eyes!
You must know that these demonic cultivators have been running rampant in the Boundless Sea for many years, and they consider themselves ruthless. But compared to this deputy island lord, they are simply like devout Buddhists.
Then, seeing his lair destroyed, Old Demon Tu was both anxious and furious, and soared into the sky in an attempt to escape.
Seeing this, Li Jiuyuan was unwilling to let go and immediately transformed into a dark red streak of light to chase after them. The two then engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air.
This time, Tu Laomo lost the advantage of terrain and his injuries had not yet healed, so he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Just as he was desperately trying to force Li Jiuyuan back and turned to flee, a dark red figure suddenly shot out from the side!
Suddenly, Chen Fan had somehow circled behind him, and the Black Soul Banner transformed into a dark red spear that plunged fiercely into his back.
The power of a million souls contained in the spear tip and the blood demonic energy erupted simultaneously. Old Demon Tu let out a miserable howl as the demonic energy protecting his Nascent Soul level body was torn open by the spear.
Li Jiuyuan was not about to let this opportunity slip by. He raised his hand and punched Tu Laomo in the chest, slamming him into the sea. Then, his blood-fiend hand emerged from the sea, grabbed Tu Laomo by the neck, and lifted him out of the water.
"Old Demon Tu, I will keep my word today." Li Jiuyuan grinned maliciously and clenched his five fingers together. Old Demon Tu's screams stopped abruptly, and the Nascent Soul level demon cultivator perished.
Post-war!
Standing on Black Reef Island, Li Jiuyuan watched as the people from Demon Abyss Island plundered all the island's resources, his face filled with smug satisfaction.
He turned to look at Chen Fan, his admiration evident in his eyes: "Ghost Wood has made the greatest contribution in destroying Black Reef Island and slaying Old Demon Slaughter. Half of the treasure trove belonging to Old Demon Slaughter on Black Reef Island is yours."
Then he changed the subject, glancing at Song Tianren beside him, his tone becoming subtly cold: "Fellow Daoist Song, you meant well, but I've always been straightforward and don't like beating around the bush. Overthinking things only makes it easier to miss opportunities."
Of course, Fellow Daoist Song has also worked hard this time. If that eunuch really comes, I will certainly treat him well.
Upon hearing this, Song Tianren's pale face showed a hint of displeasure!
At the same time, he now suspects that Zhao Yu's information might really be wrong.
Otherwise, why hasn't the eunuch appeared yet?
……
After the battle of Black Reef Island, Chen Fan's prestige on Demon Abyss Island soared.
The hundreds of demonic cultivators on the island all bowed respectfully to him!
Those elders who were originally dissatisfied with him being parachuted in as deputy island lord dared not utter another word of dissent at this moment.
Li Jiuyuan trusted Chen Fan even more, summoning him to the palace almost every day to discuss matters, from island affairs to troop deployment, asking for his opinion on everything, big or small.
Even the cultivation resources seized during the battle of Black Reef Island were generously divided in half by Li Jiuyuan and given to him!
Among them were hundreds of Nascent Soul level demon pills, and various demonic artifacts and crystals filled the corners of the cave, enough for him to push his demonic cultivation to another level.
Song Tianren's situation was quite the opposite.
Since the battle on Black Reef Island, his status on the island had plummeted. Although Li Jiuyuan wouldn't embarrass him in public, his coldness and distance in his words were undisguised.
The demonic cultivators on the island were extremely opportunistic. Seeing that the island lord was indifferent to Song Tianren, they all kept their distance from him.
In the past, several elders would take the initiative to talk to him, but now when they see him, they just nod slightly and walk past in a hurry, as if he carries some bad luck.
Although Song Tianren appeared indifferent on the surface, the sight of him meditating alone in his cave every day ultimately appeared somewhat lonely to others.
Chen Fan observed all of this, remaining outwardly calm while secretly calculating the opportune moment.
He figured he had been on Demon Abyss Island for nearly half a month, and half of the one-month deadline given by the Hall of Offerings had passed.
He must take Li Jiuyuan's head, but even with his current strength as a cultivator of both immortal and demonic arts, a direct assault on the lair of a demonic cultivator in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm is not a sure thing.
What's more, there's Song Tianren on the island!
Although this person has been neglected, his strength is undeniable, and his title as the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage is by no means undeserved.
If he joins forces with Li Jiuyuan, Chen Fan might not be able to gain the upper hand even if he uses all his trump cards.
They must be separated and dealt with one by one.
Chen Fan mentally rehearsed the plan several times, carefully considering every detail until he was certain that it was foolproof.
The opportunity came sooner than he had anticipated.
That day, Li Jiuyuan and Song Tianren had another argument in the main hall about the eunuch.
The reason was that Song Tianren once again reminded Li Jiuyuan not to let his guard down, saying that Chen Fan was extremely good at hiding his true intentions, and that the calmer things were, the more careful he should be.
Li Jiuyuan had already become suspicious of Song Tianren's intelligence after waiting for more than half a month without seeing him. Now, hearing him bring up the old matter again, he immediately replied indifferently:
"Fellow Daoist Song, you seem to have some other connection with that eunuch. I'm curious, what exactly did Chen Fan do during the selection process in Zhao that makes you so fixated on him?"
Song Tianren's expression darkened slightly, but he did not react. He simply said, "Whether the island lord believes it or not, I have said all I have to say."
After saying that, he turned and returned to his cave.
Li Jiuyuan snorted coldly and turned to Chen Fan beside him, saying, "Gui Muzi, keep an eye on the island for me. I'm going to patrol the reef area to the east. Although Tu Laomo is dead, a few of his remaining troops are still at large. I'll search for them myself to prevent future troubles. Go quickly and return in two hours at most."
