Gradually, his physical strength had recovered. According to Ye Bufan's estimation, another day had passed. During this period of time, there were two people who went to the riverside to fetch water. Due to Ye Bufan's lack of physical strength, he did not make a move.
However, those two people came in a hurry. After drinking the water, they hurriedly ran up the stream, as if there was something terrifying in the downstream.
Ye Bufan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and continued to hide in the treetops. Although his physical strength had recovered, his wounds had not fully healed yet. He really did not want to encounter any more accidents. At the same time, during the battle with the Shadow Guards, Ye Bufan had also deeply felt that the distance between the Eighth Rank of Power Stage and the Ninth Stage was greater than he had imagined. If it wasn't for his last gamble, which was to trap the shadow guard, he was afraid that the final outcome would be hard to predict.
Right at this moment, another three people ran over in a sorry state, and their expressions were unable to conceal the terror on their faces. As if they had encountered something terrifying, they ran to the stream. After taking a few sips of water, they filled their respective water bags. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he ran upstream.
"Everyone, please stop!" Ye Bufan quietly appeared behind the three of them.
When they heard the voice coming from behind them, the three of them trembled. Then, they slowly turned around, and with a glance, they seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. "Brother, run! There's a demon behind us, and it's coming this way!" One of them said.
"Demon?" Ye Bufan asked.
When the man saw that Ye Bufan was still unmoved, he immediately said, "There is a black-clothed youth in the competition this time, and he has killed quite a number of people! His beads of kindness are about to turn crimson red, if he were to meet them, I'm afraid... "
Another black-clothed person. Ye Bufan was the first to think of the shadow guard. "Why does he want to kill people? Isn't he afraid of losing points? "
That person saw that Ye Bufan did not have any malicious intentions. At the same time, he wanted to pull Ye Bufan into their group. With such an additional person, the chances of everyone surviving would be higher. He explained, "I heard that the man is looking for a person, the sword of the person he is looking for..." At this point, he couldn't help but shut his mouth because his eyes had already stopped on Ye Bufan's dragon roar. The sword was thin but narrow. Wasn't that the case?
"You are Ye Bufan?" The other person clearly saw the sword in Ye Bufan's hand and asked in a trembling voice.
"It seems like I am the person he is looking for! Are you all still willing to follow me?" Ye Bufan naturally saw the reason why the other party was so enthusiastic earlier.
The three of them then carefully sized up Ye Bufan. When they saw the red color on Ye Bufan's sword and the pearl on his chest, big brother, we are here to participate in the selection of Aoyun Sect. If you want to play a killing game, find a place to play it yourself. Why are you torturing us?
"That... that, Young Master Ye, we..." The person who spoke earlier couldn't come up with an explanation even after a long time.
"Leave the jade token behind, you guys can leave!" Ye Bufan said. "I'll help you guys get rid of this devil, but 50 points will be deducted. It's only right for you guys to express your gratitude. Right? "
The three of them looked at each other, finding it difficult to make a choice. After knowing that there was a homicidal maniac behind them, the three of them chose to run for their lives instead of retreating. This meant that the three of them still had a great chance of entering the Aoyun Sect. But now, Ye Bufan wanted the three of them to hand over the jade token...
However, since Ye Bufan was found by that person, it meant that even if the three of them joined hands, they wouldn't be able to defeat him. Furthermore, the red line on Ye Bufan's virtuous pearl indicated that Ye Bufan wasn't someone who didn't know how to kill!
"Give me the jade token. As long as you hide it, you can hide until the last fifty Nature's Mystery Mountain and River Diagram is withdrawn. Won't you also be able to enter the Aoyun Sect?" Seeing the other party's hesitation, Ye Bufan said in a tempting manner.
Two of the other party's expressions clearly showed that they were interested. Ye Bufan continued to show his might. Forcing them, he said, "Don't tell me you think that I can't snatch your jade token?"
The three men's faces changed. They unconsciously held their swords, but no one dared to pull them out. Finally, one of them let go of the swords and took out the jade token. He threw it at Ye Bufan and left.
After the lead, the other two men also threw the jade token and left.
Taking the three people's jade token, six points, six points, five points. Ye Bufan did not immediately attract the points above. Instead, he squeezed hard and squeezed the three palm-sized jade token into a few pieces.
Shadow Guard No.4 entered the Nature's Mystery Mountain and River Diagram and began to run continuously, looking for Ye Bufan and his companions. During this time, he encountered many people who had designs on the jade token on him. However, all of them turned into cold corpses and were sent out of the Nature's Mystery Mountain and River Diagram!
The pearl on his chest had turned red, but Shadow Guard No.4 really liked this bloody red color. After an unknown period of time, Shadow Guard No.4 made some calculations. He had killed about a dozen people, and the strongest among them was only a seventh level Power Stage. However, he didn't find his companion or Ye Bufan, so he couldn't help but become anxious.
After that, he met another participant. Shadow Guard No.4 gave up on killing them, and after a round of beating, he spoke. He said that he wanted to find Ye Bufan! He believed that Ye Bufan would definitely come and find him after learning about his whereabouts, because the hatred between the Situ family and the Ye family had become irreconcilable...
He did not know how big the Nature's Mystery Mountain and River Diagram was. After choosing a direction, he kept moving forward. He believed that his companion would also choose the same path as him, under such a web-like search. The probability of meeting Ye Bufan wasn't low. He just hoped that the one who met Ye Bufan would be him, not his companion...
Shadow Guard No.4 did not know how long he had been running for. Suddenly, the sound of running water came from afar. The water bag had dried up and he immediately ran towards the source of the water.
However, when the sound of running water became louder and louder, his speed slowed down. The places with water attracted people, and there might also be people lurking in them. Shadow Guard No.4 also knew this principle.
Carefully diving in the direction of the water source, through the dense forest. Shadow Guard No.4 saw the stream, but he was not in a hurry to go. Because at the border between the forest and the stream, there were trees that fell to the ground. The cut was as smooth as a mirror! The person who attacked was obviously not weaker than him!
Shadow Guard No.4 carefully walked over. He was not in a hurry to drink water. Instead, he checked the battlefield.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became! Here...
With a bang, Shadow Guard No.4 unsheathed his heavy sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest. He carefully looked around. The traces of the battle indicated that there was no doubt that the person who attacked was Third Elder Brother. Everyone grew up together and cultivated together. They all had a deep understanding of each other's fighting style.
The other sword marks were very similar to the narrow sword Ye Bufan used in the information.
"It seems like the Shadow Guards of Situ Mansion are really alert!" No one knew when, but Ye Bufan had already appeared not far away.
"Why are you here? Where is I, Third Elder Brother?" Shadow Guard No.4 looked at Ye Bufan's appearance, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
Ye Bufan spread his hands. "When I challenged you, Third Elder Brother, I was still standing here. Where do you think you are?" After saying that, he pointed at the red color on the pearl in front of his chest.
Previously, Shadow Guard No.4 thought that the red color on his benign pearl was so eye-catching, but now the red color on Ye Bufan's chest made Shadow Guard No.4 feel that it was so dazzling.
"Good! Very good! Looks like we underestimated you!" Shadow Guard No.4 was so angry that he laughed, "Today I will use your head to pay tribute to me, Third Elder Brother!"
" Is that so? He had said the same thing to you before, but now I am standing here. He was sent outside the Nature's Mystery Mountain and River Diagram! "Ye Bufan looked at Shadow Guard No.4 and crossed his arms in front of his chest, making a few weird gestures. He shouted, "Rise!"
With Ye Bufan's shout, Shadow Guard No.4 felt his eyes blur. The scenery in front of him changed drastically. The forest before suddenly disappeared. The surroundings were covered by fog. The visibility was less than three meters, and the sound of flowing water also disappeared.
Spirit Stage barrier? Shadow Guard No.4 suddenly remembered that he had heard the Situ family Master say, "When a Ninth Rank of Qi Stage warrior breaks through, he will enter another realm - Spirit Stage! A Spirit Stage warrior was called a Sovereign at Spirit Stage. The strength of a Sovereign at Spirit Stage was its ability to form its own barrier. A Spirit Stage warrior can control everything within the barrier. "
Faced with this sudden change, the first thing Shadow Guard No.4 thought of was the Spirit Stage barrier. However, he quickly threw this unrealistic idea to the back of his mind. Putting aside Ye Bufan's age, if Ye Bufan really was a Sovereign at Spirit Stage... Dealing with a Ninth Rank of Power Stage warrior was as easy as pinching an ant to death. Why would he need to use the Spirit Stage barrier...
Although he didn't know what method Ye Bufan had used to put him in such a situation, as long as it wasn't the Spirit Stage barrier, Shadow Guard No.4 was confident that he could still fight. After all, according to the information he had obtained from Shadow Guard No.4... Ye Bufan was merely a seventh level Power Stage expert!
It turned out that Ye Bufan did not absorb the points from the three people's jade token. Instead, he used the special characteristic of the jade artifact to set up a simple formation after crushing it.
Because the formation engraved on the Dragon Roar Sword's body had some effect, Ye Bufan felt that the formation might still have some effect in this world.
However, with Ye Bufan's attainment in formation, it was impossible for him to set up any powerful killing formation with the few pieces of broken jade in his hand. However, it wasn't a problem to set up a simple maze.
In order to lure the enemy into the formation, Ye Bufan deliberately set up the formation at the place where the shadow guard was fighting. He used the traces of battle on the ground to lure the enemy into the formation, and then revealed himself. He talked to the enemy and held them back, then quietly activated the formation. Looking at Shadow Guard No.4, who was running around in the forest, Ye Bufan knew. It was done!
