Chapter 2280 - 2327: Great Sage Snow Maiden
Chapter 2280: Chapter 2327: Great Sage Snow Maiden
Du Xiyuan said forcefully, "Go! I’ll cover your retreat!"
What? Jiang Fan finally realized that Du Xiyuan intended to entangle that expert of the Three Calamities Realm to buy him a chance to escape.
Having lost more than half of her Power of Laws, what chance did she have to survive? It was a guaranteed path to death!
Even if she were lucky enough to survive the hands of the Three Calamities Realm expert, would the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis let her go?
Jiang Fan shook his head. Stepping off the paper crane, he said calmly, "I have never let anyone down in my life.
"I will not allow others to die in my place, and my Domain will not allow it even more."
If Du Xiyuan were to perish because of this, his heart would be flawed, and his Domain would instantly collapse. The Heavenly Human Five Declines would descend upon him right on the spot!
Moreover, the regret of life and death could not be made up for. His Heavenly Human Five Declines would not stop until his entire body rotted away. Since it would be death either way, why let Du Xiyuan sacrifice herself for nothing?
Du Xiyuan glared back at him. "You brat, you’re making my death pointless!"
Jiang Fan replied, "Leave on the paper crane. Return to Nanqian and don’t come out again.
"Unless one day, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis is dead."
Du Xiyuan sighed deeply.
She somewhat understood why the Great Wine Sacrifice valued Jiang Fan so much.
Apart from his outstanding abilities, the path Jiang Fan walked was also one of the reasons. The Path of Perfection doomed him to never betray anyone by his side.
However, if she were to just sit and watch Jiang Fan die, what would the Great Wine Sacrifice think of her if he found out?
Meanwhile, the Three Calamities Realm expert who had been knocked away came charging back with his hair disheveled. His somewhat ferocious face was filled with hostility. "None of you are getting away!"
So many Sages of the Seven Night Realm had died. If he did not destroy Jiang Fan, he swore he would not return!
Du Xiyuan sighed. "In that case, you can die with me..."
Just as she was about to meet the enemy, an extremely radiant green beam of light suddenly pierced through the Void, shooting straight toward them.
Du Xiyuan was startled at first, but she quickly sensed something, her heroic eyebrows shooting up high.
The green beam arrived in an instant, proving to be even faster than the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis and the paper crane.
Jiang Fan’s peripheral vision only caught a flash of green. In the next moment, the beam struck the attacking Three Calamities Realm expert!
SPURT!
The Three Calamities Realm expert’s entire body cracked apart, blood splattering everywhere. His formidable and invincible Dao body was almost destroyed.
Once the beam came to a halt, a green leaf burning with boundless vitality was revealed. Standing atop it were three women of peerless earthly beauty.
Their looks were breathtaking, and their bodies exuded an incomparably powerful demonic aura. The middle-aged woman leading them was even a Top-level Demon Venerable of the Three Calamities Realm!
Behind her were two young and beautiful female Demon Venerables, one cold and noble, the other lively and agile.
They were none other than Snow Maiden, Yu Yan, and Yu Mian of the World of Darkness.
At this moment, Snow Maiden stared coldly at the injured Three Calamities Realm expert, her snowy eyes brimming with frost.
Having already been heavily wounded by Du Xiyuan, taking another hit from her pushed his body to the verge of destruction.
Glared at by Snow Maiden, he immediately fled using Instantaneous Movement!
How could he dare face two Three Calamities Realm experts at the same time? Wasn’t that just courting death?
Since he had left, the remaining three Sages of the Seven Night Realm also scattered in a panic like birds and beasts.
Jiang Fan was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Snow Maiden! Why are you here?"
He was full of surprise. The World of Darkness was in the middle of the heavens, incredibly far from here. Even for someone in the Three Calamities Realm, the journey would take more than half a month.
Could it be that Snow Maiden was capable of divination and had foreseen that Jiang Fan would face this great tribulation, thus arriving here several days in advance?
Only then did Snow Maiden put away her cold demeanor, her gaze full of tenderness as she looked at Jiang Fan.
Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, she said, "I heard the declaration of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis. With Fan in danger, how could I sit by and do nothing?"
Huh?
Jiang Fan was even more puzzled. It had only been two days since the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis issued his universal declaration. How did they get here so fast?
Snow Maiden saw through his confusion. She steered the leaf down in front of him. The vitality burning on the leaf was rapidly depleted, causing it to quickly wither, turn yellow, and finally dissipate into particles.
With a smile, she explained, "The Divine Tree has a spirit. Knowing that you encountered a great disaster, it parted with some of its vitality to let us rush over and help you."
Jiang Fan was stunned. Back then, he had saved the Netherworld Divine Tree, and today, the Divine Tree was giving back to him. Planting good causes yielded good results; it was the reflection of Cause and Effect.
A trace of gratitude appeared on his face. "Another day, I will personally go to the World of Darkness to thank the Divine Tree."
At this moment, a wave of blood swept over. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was getting closer!
Snow Maiden’s expression abruptly turned serious. "Fan, what is the situation now?"
Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed fiercely. "I must trouble you to propel the paper crane and send me to a place!"
Snow Maiden glanced at the paper crane, her beautiful eyes suddenly brightening. "With this paper crane, we actually don’t have to fear the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!"
She immediately led her two daughters to jump onto the paper crane, saying, "Let’s go!"
Jiang Fan then looked at Du Xiyuan and said, "Senior Du, hurry up and get on."
The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis could attack at any moment, and there was no telling if he might casually kill Du Xiyuan along the way. It was better to take her to a safe place first.
Du Xiyuan, however, had somehow regained her coldness and majesty. She scoffed, "There’s no need!
"Just leave with that vixen. You don’t need to worry about me!"
Eh?
Jiang Fan blanked for a moment before he finally came to a realization.
Snow Maiden and Du Xiyuan were both women of the Mixed Element State Wine Festival.
In a certain sense, the two of them were... love rivals?
Hearing this, Snow Maiden cast a glance over, her originally gentle gaze turning sharp. "The myriad worlds really are small. I can run into you everywhere."
Soon after, she turned her head to look at Jiang Fan. "Fan, if she doesn’t want to get on, don’t force her.
"She’s incredibly overbearing and always means what she says.
"Since she wants to die here, you’d better not go against her wishes."
Hearing these words, Du Xiyuan’s gaze became even sharper. When love rivals met, they were exceptionally jealous.
Originally unwilling to be in the same place as Snow Maiden, she simply used Instantaneous Movement to arrive on the paper crane, scoffing, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?
"If you won’t let me come, I’m coming anyway!"
She glared at Jiang Fan and huffed, "You can’t see through a person’s heart. Some people look gentle, but are actually full of schemes.
"Be careful not to get sold out while still helping them count the money!"
Snow Maiden covered her mouth and chuckled charmingly. "That’s still better than a certain violent tomboy, right?
"Wouldn’t you say, Fan?"
The two sandwiched Jiang Fan in the middle, staring at him simultaneously.
Jiang Fan looked speechless. "Go ask that scumbag. Why are you giving me a hard time?"
Snow Maiden and Du Xiyuan exchanged a glance, gave a light snort, and turned away from each other, neither willing to yield.
Jiang Fan was filled with gloom. A certain Great Wine Sacrifice really deserved to die!
He retracted his Heart Spirit and focused entirely on controlling the paper crane.
With the help of two Three Calamities Realm experts, the paper crane could fly for at least another six days! Combined with the paper crane’s speed, crossing half the heavens would be absolutely no problem.
That would be enough to reach the destination pointed out by the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation, right?
The only trouble was that the worlds they passed through ahead might try to block them. Du Xiyuan and Snow Maiden would constantly be consuming their Power of Laws, and might not be able to withstand the interception of numerous worlds.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan clenched his fists tight. "Chasing me until I’m this battered and exhausted... Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, one day, I will make you experience this exact same feeling!"
