Chapter 681: Chapter 680: Enemies Meet
The newcomer was none other than Ximen Luolei, the Family Head of the Ximen Family.
The Evil Gods had been relentlessly pursuing Ye Fan. Stricken by the pain of losing his son, Ximen Luolei had allied with Duan Defeng, bringing the forces of their two great families to the Outer Domain to hunt him down. It had cost them greatly to ascertain Ye Fan’s presence in the Outer Domain. After searching for months and suffering heavy casualties, they had finally located him. If not for the grand spectacle of Ye Fan’s rebirth, they probably would have never found him.
"Gentlemen, it’s been a while!" Ye Fan said.
He had never met Duan Defeng, but he recognized Ximen Luolei. They were the fathers of Ximen Hengcheng and Duan Tianya, two men who had died by his hand. It seemed another battle was inevitable.
Ximen Luolei jeered, "It really has been a while, boy. You killed my son and Brother Duan’s son in the Divine Dragon Secret Realm. Don’t you think it’s time to settle that score?"
Ye Fan remained calm and collected. Huang Ji, however, adopted a fighting stance, though her face was pale. Both of their adversaries were experts at the Divine General Peak.
But Ye Fan retorted, "Like I said, Mu Chen Dong did it. This has nothing to do with me!"
Mu Chen Dong had to be the scapegoat, so Ye Fan had no qualms about throwing him under the bus.
"Humph! Still trying to deceive us? Do you think we don’t know? We entered the Divine Dragon Secret Realm ourselves afterward, and everything points to you! It was all your doing! The wounds on their bodies were definitely not inflicted by the Red Sand Family!"
Ximen Luolei was convinced that Ye Fan was responsible.
Ye Fan shrugged. "Alright, I did it. So what? Are you going to kill me? I am the junior brother of the Red Sand Main God and the Evil Punishment Main God, after all!"
Duan Defeng chimed in, "Well said. Even if you are their junior brother, don’t forget, this is the Outer Realm, not their territory!"
"Do you think they’ll know if we kill you here?"
The two men shared a mocking laugh.
Just then, another imposing group arrived. It was the father of Gui Hai Yidao, Gui Hai Lion.
The three great families had arrived simultaneously, all just to hunt him down.
Ye Fan chuckled helplessly. "You really flatter me. Three Divine General experts and hundreds of elite soldiers... you don’t need such a grand formation to kill me!"
Gui Hai Lion stated grimly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we let it slip by, killing you will become impossible. We had to act now."
"Brat, your advancement is too fast," Duan Defeng added. "If you hadn’t killed our sons, we would have certainly tried to recruit you. However, you destroyed our hope, so today, you must die!"
Ye Fan smiled. "It’s not that I’m looking down on you all, but none of you are qualified to recruit me. Only the Red Sand Main God, the Evil Punishment Main God, and the God-slayers are worthy of allying with me!"
Ye Fan struck at their pride without hesitation.
Huang Ji rebuked them, "My father is the Great Wilderness Main God! If you dare to make a move, he will surely flatten your families!"
The men looked closer. Indeed, Huang Ji was stunningly beautiful, truly deserving of her reputation as the foremost beauty of the Evil God path and an equal to Mu Keqing. With her dignified bearing and exquisite features, she was a peerless talent.
The Divine Generals began to laugh.
Gui Hai Lion exclaimed, "So, the bright pearl of the Great Wilderness Main God! And the two of you have illicitly gotten together, violating the rules of both the Evil Gods and the Righteous Gods! It seems killing you today would be an act of justice on behalf of heaven."
"But what a beautiful face... it would be a real pity to kill her! I say, you two," he said, turning to his allies, "whoever catches her gets to keep her! But first, I have to kill this brat!"
In truth, Gui Hai Lion had found his son’s corpse, beheaded by a single sword strike. He also knew that the body carried the aura of the Red Sand Family. However, the Red Sand Family was far too powerful; he didn’t have the right to challenge them. Thus, he could only vent his anger on Ye Fan.
"Brat, get on your knees and hand over your woman! We’ll let you watch how we ’take care’ of her, HAHAHA!" Gui Hai Lion cackled.
"I’ll rip your mouth off!" Huang Ji snarled, about to attack, but Ye Fan stopped her.
"Don’t worry," he said calmly. "I’ll deal with them properly in a moment."
Then, Ye Fan declared, "This place may not belong to any Main God, but from today onward, this is my territory! Since you’ve come, none of you will be leaving!"
His eyes were like ice as he stared at them.
"HAHAHA!"
"Your territory? This place belongs to no one. Who would believe you if you said it was yours? You haven’t even reached the Divine General realm, yet you dare make such an outrageous claim!" Ximen Luolei laughed with disdain.
Duan Defeng also chuckled. "That’s hilarious. This kid isn’t just arrogant, it seems his brain is addled too. No matter. Shall we just carve him into eight pieces later?"
"I completely agree!" the two said with a laugh.
"Proving this is my territory is very simple," Ye Fan said. "You’ll see in a moment."
"Oh? And what little trick are you planning to pull now?" Gui Hai Lion sneered, his eyes never leaving Huang Ji.
Ye Fan suddenly bellowed, "Misfortune Pangolin, where the hell are you hiding? Get your ass out here for me now!"
At Ye Fan’s roar, the ground began to fracture. Countless creatures the size of pangolins swarmed out, completely surrounding the three families.
"This is bad!"
The three Family Heads were stunned. They were utterly unprepared for a scene like this.
But that wasn’t the end. A plume of Black Fog drifted in, coalescing into a portly figure with a sneaky, rat-like face.
What could he do? Ye Fan wanted to beat the pangolin up just for the way it looked in its human form.
The Misfortune Pangolin groveled before Ye Fan. "Hehe, Master, I was just out persuading a rather unruly beast to submit. What seems to have upset you?" he asked.
The terrifying aura emanating from the creature subjected the three Divine Generals to immense pressure. It was clear they were no match for the Misfortune Pangolin.
Ye Fan simply said, "These guys."
"What? You dared to upset my Master?" the Misfortune Pangolin shrieked.
The three men were terrified. They tried to flee, only to realize that a colossal power was rising from behind the endless sea of pangolins. This strange, vast power made them feel a sense of despair. These monsters were the true rulers of the Outer Domain.
Ye Fan gave his command. "Leave those three alive for me. The rest are yours. I permit you to feast on flesh this one time."
The Misfortune Pangolin was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master! It’s been so long since I’ve had fresh meat." He then roared, "My little ones, charge! It’s time to eat!"
At his command, the endless tide of pangolins surged forward, their growls echoing across the land.
Ximen Luolei and the other two leaders attacked swiftly. All they could do now was fight for their lives.
