Chapter 1816: Chapter 1812: The Most Unyielding Woman
Under the guidance of Nuwa, Shen Yan spent several hours forming a very special power within her.
This power was specially prepared by Nuwa to deal with Ye Fan’s elemental power.
Nuwa said, "Ye Fan’s elemental power is the reason he can roam freely in the cultivation world. If you can suppress this power of his, his Pure Yang Spiritual Energy alone won’t be able to resist an ordinary cultivator. You just need to inject this power into him, and he won’t have the capability to fight you!"
"Why do you say that?" Shen Yan still appeared perplexed, "Do you think I can defeat him just with my spiritual cultivation?"
Nuwa smiled and said, "The power I taught you can suppress him for about a few hours. As long as you can make his enemies aware that he has lost his elemental power within this time, how can he escape? People from the Immortal Realm constantly want to kill him. Moreover, once his elemental power is suppressed, his Pure Yang Spiritual Energy will inevitably be greatly affected. At that time, it might not be impossible for you to kill him!"
Shen Yan said, "So you’re saying I can’t kill him with my own hands and have to wait for others to do it?"
"I didn’t say that, it all depends on your own abilities!" Nuwa replied with a smiling face, "However, cultivating with him is not an easy task. He remains wary of you unless you can make him completely let down his guard, which is also a challenging task. It all depends on your own skill!"
Shen Yan gritted her teeth, unsure how to describe her feelings. She wanted to use Nuwa to deal with Ye Fan but found that Nuwa’s ultimate goal was merely to weaken Ye Fan’s cultivation so that others could kill him, something Shen Yan couldn’t accept.
"I don’t accept what you’re saying!" Shen Yan said, "I must kill him with my own hands! Otherwise, I won’t help you, and you can handle it yourself!"
Nuwa angrily replied, "You little girl, even your cultivation was bestowed by me, and you dare to threaten me. It seems you need to know the consequences of offending me..."
As soon as Nuwa finished speaking, she stirred a slight ripple in Shen Yan’s body with spiritual energy, causing Shen Yan to feel unbearable pain. Shen Yan wanted to resist Nuwa but found it futile. In terms of cultivation, she was completely incomparable to Nuwa.
"How is it, little girl? This torture isn’t easy to bear, is it? Your body still carries many detection powers from Ye Fan. If I continue to torture you, Ye Fan will surely notice. At that time, your chance to kill him will become even slimmer, and he won’t believe you’re Li Zhaojun... Haha!" Nuwa was very pleased, as though she had grasped Shen Yan’s weak spot. As long as she continued, it seemed Shen Yan had no choice but to obey, without any opportunity to resist.
But Nuwa clearly underestimated Shen Yan’s resilient mindset. In Shen Yan’s heart, she rejected any form of torture. Her willpower had reached a terrifying point; no matter how much Nuwa tormented her, Shen Yan remained unmoved.
"You might as well kill me directly, otherwise, it’s either you or me... Do you think this will make me submit? Show me what else you have!" Shen Yan said arrogantly.
Nuwa was at a loss for how to respond, mumbling, "Strange, I created humans, yet they evolve into beings who aren’t afraid of torture? The spiritual power that could be fatal to you, why can you endure it? I don’t believe you can last much longer... Let’s see, little girl, today I’ll confront you!"
Indeed, neither party intended to yield. Shen Yan was the one being tortured and had no power to stop, while Nuwa, an ancient power, would not submit to a human woman before her, whether she was in her true form or a projection.
Thus, they engaged in a confrontation. After torturing Shen Yan for over an hour, Nuwa discovered her known methods of torture were ineffective on Shen Yan, so she had to finally relent.
Shen Yan slumped to the ground. Although exhausted, she still showed no sign of submission. Nuwa looked at Shen Yan and said, "I didn’t expect a human like you to exist, nor Ye Fan... You two are truly a match made in heaven! Fine, I won’t bother with you any longer. If you wish to kill Ye Fan personally, there’s another method, which involves absorbing his power through basic means... You should know what that entails, right?"
"What means?" Shen Yan looked up and asked Nuwa.
"It’s the most basic matter between men and women. As a woman of your age, many things shouldn’t need my teaching," Nuwa replied. "If you can gain this power, Ye Fan will surely die by your hand, but you must understand the sacrifice you make! However, you should also recognize that offering yourself might not be welcomed by Ye Fan, as he’s very fond of Li Zhaojun currently. If you don’t do it well, and Ye Fan discovers it, your efforts will be in vain!"
Shen Yan assessed Nuwa, and after a long pause, said firmly, "Regardless, I must try!"
"If you have such determination, that’s best. But I’m afraid you might not be able to bear the consequences of such a sacrifice because you could fall in love with Ye Fan afterwards. Once you’ve killed him, you’ll be drowned in disappointment and regret. This is your own choice, and you mustn’t blame me then! This is a warning in advance," Nuwa said.
Shen Yan pondered this possibility, her expression somewhat gloomy, "I know the consequences, no need for your reminder!"
"Very well, to help you achieve this, I’ll cooperate with you, but if Ye Fan realizes, you must forcibly inject the power into him. That’s our agreement—either your compliance or I kill you now to prevent Ye Fan from learning about the plan," Nuwa said harshly.
"Okay!" Shen Yan finally nodded.
Nuwa’s face finally showed a hint of satisfaction, "You, human girl, are the most spirited girl I’ve ever seen. You’re willing to go to such extremes to kill Ye Fan!"
Shen Yan didn’t realize her hatred for Ye Fan was incited by Nuwa and believed her feelings were genuine. Nuwa’s words were intended to preempt Shen Yan’s possible regrets.
"Killing Ye Fan is my business. If you help me, you’re my friend; if not, we part ways!" Shen Yan declared.
