Chapter 408: Battle of Huogu City
Ye Yunfan was not panicked, watching the mighty giant palm falling from the sky.
He opened his space domain and quickly dodged the attack.
"You dodged my attack so easily?" Huo Gucheng's eyes condensed, and said: "You are indeed quite capable, no wonder you are so arrogant!"
Ye Yunfan sneered: "Elder Huo is really a hidden talent. His cultivation is so profound. I really underestimated him."
"Hmph! I have studied martial arts all my life, so it is not surprising that I have such a high level of cultivation. But you, at such a young age, are really curious.
Although you are extremely talented, you don't know etiquette and are arrogant. Today, I must teach you a lesson." Huo Gucheng was full of momentum, and his cultivation was undoubtedly revealed.
"Peak of the Tribulation Realm?"
Even though Ye Yunfan knew that he was extraordinary, he was still a little shocked when he saw it in person. It was not an ordinary person who could cultivate to such a level in Nan Shenzhou.
Both of them deliberately stayed away from the cave to avoid damaging it.
Huo Gucheng's giant palm attacked again, covering the universe, with a mighty force that could tear the void apart, as if it was going to crush the land.
Ye Yunfan no longer avoided it, and circulated all his spiritual power on his fists.
"Dragon Leaps in the Abyss!"
The majestic fist force gushed out, and the golden dragon leaped across the sky like a mighty force, directly meeting Huo Gucheng's giant palm.
Boom!
The powerful blows of the two men collided, the sound was like shaking the sky, the earth was shaking, the land was constantly cracking, and the trees were turned into ashes.
The smoke dissipated, and the two men retreated dozens of feet from this blow.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Ye Yunfan, I really underestimated you."
Huo Gucheng was also a little surprised that Ye Yunfan's strength was not inferior to his own.
After saying that, Huo Gucheng attacked again, and the two continued to fight, from the top of the mountain to the depths of the forest, and then to the river. There were countless places destroyed, and mountains were razed to the ground, and land collapsed.
After fighting for several hours, both of them were exhausted. They looked at each other from a distance, panting, and were trying to recover.
"Sure enough, the peak of the Tribulation Realm is not so easy to defeat!" Ye Yunfan thought in his heart, and also had a rough assessment of his own combat power.
"Elder Huo, if we continue to fight like this, both sides will be injured. Are you sure you want to continue?" Ye Yunfan began to tell him about his strength.
Huo Gucheng also understood that after fighting for several hours just now, the opponent was not at a disadvantage at all, and he could not do anything to the opponent. If he really fought and got injured, it would be an extremely disadvantageous situation.
"You can retreat now, I won't make it difficult for you, but if you trespass into the retreat of the Palace Master, I'm sorry I can't agree." Huo Gucheng's attitude was still tough.
Ye Yunfan stopped confronting him and said, "Elder Huo, how long has the Lord of the House been in seclusion? Has he ever been in seclusion for such a long time before?
I am just concerned about the Lord of the House, there is nothing wrong with that, right? Isn't Elder Huo worried? You are blocking me like this, and people have to doubt your purpose!"
"Nonsense! I have been the Supreme Elder of the Academy for so many years, and I have always been dedicated." Huo Gucheng said passionately.
"Then you haven't seen the Lord of the House for so long, aren't you worried about something going wrong? As the Lord of a House, he is busy with affairs and it is impossible for him to be in seclusion for a long time. The Lord of the House must understand this truth. If he hasn't come out for so long, there must be something wrong."
Ye Yunfan's words made Huo Gucheng ponder, and the two were speechless for a while.
Seeing that Huo Gucheng seemed to be hesitant, he continued, "Now everyone knows that I want to meet the mansion master, and you, Elder Huo, have repeatedly stopped me. If something happens to the mansion master in seclusion, Elder Huo, you can't clear yourself of this matter even if you jump into the Yellow River."
"This..."
Huo Gucheng never thought that the mansion master would get into trouble. After all, it is normal to practice in seclusion. If he trespassed and became possessed, he would not be able to bear this responsibility either. However, what Ye Yunfan said made sense.
This made him feel a little embarrassed and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Yunfan continued, "Elder Huo, actually you don't have to be embarrassed. I just checked for the safety of the mansion master. If the mansion master is fine, everyone will be relieved, don't you think?"
After some consideration, Huo Gucheng nodded. "Okay! If the mansion master is really as you said, then the academy will remember your merit, but if you disturb the mansion master's seclusion, you will never let him off easily."
Ye Yunfan knew that the other party just wanted to save face, so he didn't argue.
The two returned to the cave entrance, Elder Huo opened the formation, and entered the cave with Ye Yunfan to check on the master's retreat.
Huo Gucheng twisted the mechanism, and the stone door slowly opened.
The two stepped into the cave together.
Boom!
At this moment, an attack as powerful as the sky came!
Ye Yunfan and Huo Gucheng were not prepared at all. This attack was fast and fierce, and it attacked from behind. When the two found it, they could not avoid it and could only barely resist it.
Just one blow, the two were blown away.
Ye Yunfan's injury was better. He opened the space field the moment he entered the cave to prevent accidents.
But the attacker was too strong, and even if he opened the space field, he could not completely avoid it.
Huo Gucheng was knocked unconscious directly, and Ye Yunfan vomited blood and leaned against the wall of the stone chamber to relax.
The stone door was closed, and he was trapped inside.
Ye Yunfan immediately started to meditate and heal himself. He was seriously injured even though he had only endured half of the attack force.
"The realm of the late stage of the Divine Wheel?"
Ye Yunfan could feel that the power of that blow definitely reached the level of the late Shenlun, only higher but not lower.
At this moment, his eyes were serious because he didn't sense who that person was.
An hour later, Ye Yunfan's injuries were half recovered. He checked Huo Gucheng's injuries and found that they were much more serious than expected. The heavy blow just now almost killed him.
"Isn't Huo Gucheng a lackey of the demon clan?"
Ye Yunfan guessed in his heart, "The sneak attack by that person just now obviously wanted the lives of two people. If Huo Gucheng was one of their own, they would not have attacked so hard. In that case, they could have directly attacked me alone and I would have been hit."
He decided to help Huo Gucheng heal his injuries first, let him wake up, and ask if there was anything he could provide.
Half an hour later, Huo Gucheng's injuries were under control without further deterioration, and others slowly woke up.
"Elder Huo, how do you feel?" Ye Yunfan asked when he saw that he was awake.
Huo Gucheng was very weak. He took out a healing elixir and swallowed it. He asked feebly: "Are you okay? The power of the blow just now was too terrifying. Although it was a long-distance sneak attack, you could survive without any injuries. You are so beautiful, I admire you!”
"I was also seriously injured, but not as serious as you. Elder Huo, do you know who attacked us?" Ye Yunfan always suspected someone in his heart.
"Is the Palace Master inside?" Huo Gucheng asked without answering.
Ye Yunfan shook his head. "I have already explored this cave and found no one inside. I think the master of the cave must have encountered something unexpected."
"What? How is this possible? Who did it?"
Huo Gucheng's eyes became more and more focused, and he already had an object of suspicion in his heart.
