Ye Fan and Nu Ying seem to be verbally attacking each other, but they’ve already started suppressing each other spiritually, and Ye Fan is ready to fight at any moment. He knows that if his attacks are ineffective, he might be suppressed by this woman in front of him, making it difficult to defeat Nu Ying.

Ye Fan thought, "Nu Ying’s cultivation may not be extremely high, not even as high as Xi He’s, but my cultivation has suffered a lot, and we are now evenly matched. If I also consider the man behind her, Shun, I have no chance of winning. I have to fight my hardest to see if I can trigger the elemental force within me in this desperate situation!"

With this thought, Ye Fan had already prepared himself mentally for attack. He could launch an attack instantly, and the imminent battle was about to begin.

"Human man, really strange, not only bold in words but also in courage. Looking at your cultivation level, there’s quite a gap compared to mine, yet you dare to challenge me. Seems like I need to properly teach you a lesson for you to understand my strength!"

As Nu Ying spoke, she used her Spiritual Energy to launch a probing attack, this time aiming directly at Ye Fan’s face rather than his vital points.

It seems she found Ye Fan’s face annoying, so she wanted to teach him a direct lesson, but this power was enough to scatter the soul of someone at Ye Fan’s cultivation level.

Ye Fan sneered, forming a vacuum in front of him to isolate Nu Ying’s power from affecting Earth. He didn’t want Nu Ying’s power to ultimately threaten Earth’s safety, which he saw as a massive challenge. His attacks were extremely swift, directly targeting Nu Ying’s face, leaving her with no choice but instant death.

Both targeted each other’s faces, implying mutual competition. Nu Ying also felt strange. She prided herself on her status and didn’t attack Ye Fan’s vital points directly, not knowing Ye Fan’s reason for doing so. The momentum Ye Fan displayed during his attack far exceeded the cultivation level he showed.

Nu Ying thought, "Something’s not right, this kid’s cultivation seems higher than I imagined. Could it be the information is wrong? Wasn’t it said most of his power had been resolved, yet even with halved cultivation, he’s on par with me? Is this still a human cultivator?"

In a flash, their Spiritual Energy collided, resembling a faint black hole, absorbing all surrounding air inside. The explosive shockwave from their combined powers was enough to shred the Earth apart instantly, yet Ye Fan’s avoidance of Spiritual Energy leakage prevented a massive impact.

Inside the villa, some furnishings were reduced to powder, while Xi He absorbed some of the remaining shockwave. She had no intention of helping Ye Fan but wanted to protect Earth. For Ye Fan, this was his home, and for Xi He, this was where she was born and cultivated, her training site lying in ancient ruins at Earth’s North Pole.

Xi He similarly didn’t want to see Earth destroyed. Her actions weren’t completely to aid Ye Fan.

From one attack, both had understood each other’s basic cultivation level. Nu Ying thought, "Even if Ye Fan’s current cultivation seems strong, it’s still somewhat different from mine. Even so, I’ve only tried a probing attack, while he’s already fought with all his might. If I launch another attack, he’ll definitely die, and my task will be completed!"

"Young human, I’ll give you one more chance. If you submit to me, I’ll treat you as my servant!" Nu Ying confidently smiled, "Just go with me to see Nuwa, then you’ll belong to her. I can ensure you won’t be killed! Then you can achieve your own accomplishments... such a great choice!"

Ye Fan coldly replied, "Nuwa’s goal is to destroy all beings in the universe, including yourself. All beings, even cultivators, must die. Why would I go to see Nuwa— to seek death? Or are you just not thinking clearly?"

"Kid, Nuwa’s wisdom isn’t something you can challenge or blaspheme. Since you refuse to submit, I can only send you to your death first!" Nu Ying said as her attacks became relentless, aiming to defeat Ye Fan in one blow. She didn’t intend to kill him outright but to defeat and torture him slowly. She knew if her power reached a point to kill Ye Fan, Xi He wouldn’t stand idly by, risking Xi He’s life, only aiming to control Ye Fan so Xi He wouldn’t retaliate fiercely.

"Kid, go die!" Nu Ying launched a final attack, exceptionally powerful, with Spiritual Energy enveloping Ye Fan from all directions. In Nu Ying’s view, Ye Fan had absolutely no ability to counter her attack.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Ye Fan’s cultivation. Previously, his cultivation seemed inferior to hers, but his potential was immense. At that moment, the power from Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy formed around him instantaneously, creating a golden protective web, which must be broken before Nu Ying’s attack could harm him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." The air emitted strange sounds, originally capable of bursting eardrums instantly, but Ye Fan’s attack had a strong and gentle nature, transforming their Spiritual Energy attributes. Nu Ying’s was gentle, Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy was intensely domineering.

Yet Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy also exhibited both extreme hardness and softness during the attack on Nu Ying. The rebounding power was enormous, rendering Nu Ying’s attack like hitting a soft force, absorbed instantaneously.

"What’s going on?" Nu Ying didn’t immediately react, but Ye Fan’s subsequent attack surged like a tidal wave directly enveloping her body.

Nu Ying’s first thought was that Xi He might be helping nearby. She couldn’t pay attention to anything else, wanting to escape, but failed to sidestep Ye Fan’s attack, finding her retreat blocked by his Pure Yang Spiritual Energy. Attempts to break through were futile.
