The power of the Jade Silkworm had already been tested on countless people; it was tried and trusted by Xu Fan.
Thus, despite Delaite's frantic cries, his varied pleas for mercy, and even agreeing to go to Nash the Baron to incite him against the Huang Family, Xu Fan remained unmoved.
This Viscount Delaite wasn't actually weak. He could control the Blood Sea to transform into various things for his attacks, revealing his identity as a master in the Entering Dao Realm. Only masters at the Entering Dao Realm could control the spiritual power between heaven and earth and use it for themselves.
However, despite Delaite's strange attack methods, he still couldn't escape Xu Fan's Golden Right Eye and was ultimately defeated by a single sword strike!
At this moment, Delaite's cries for mercy gradually weakened, and his once exceptionally youthful face now appeared terrifyingly aged, like an old man about to enter his grave, filled with wrinkles.
Delaite's vitality seemed entirely dependent on the essence blood within him, and now that the Jade Silkworm had drained it, he was in immense pain.
Just as Delaite was about to be drained dry, Xu Fan leisurely retrieved the Jade Silkworm and coldly asked Delaite, "Dear Delaite, can you understand the situation now?"
"Master Xu! Grandfather! I was wrong!"
Delaite's voice was raspy as a withered tree, but it still conveyed his utter terror and regret.
Seeing Delaite in this state, Xu Fan nodded in satisfaction, "Now, tell me, what is the strength of your Baron, and what's his relationship with the Huang Family?"
Delaite dared not defy in the slightest. Though weak, he hurriedly answered, "Master Xu, Nash the Baron is one of the thirty-eight barons in our Western Dark Forces. The strength of a viscount, earl, baron, marquis, and duke increases successively, and Nash the Baron's strength is far superior to a hundred of me."
Xu Fan's eyes grew slightly solemn upon hearing Delaite's words.
This Nash the Baron sounded formidable, definitely beyond the Entering Dao Realm!
At this moment, Delaite continued, "Nash the Baron has a cooperative relationship with the Huang Family. The Huang Family has many experts, and our Western Dark Forces pay a lot of attention to the Huang Family."
Xu Fan's gaze was increasingly serious. The Huang Family, a hidden world family, revealed only the tip of the iceberg of its strength, and it was already so enormous?
Now, not only was the Huang Family involved, but a Western Dark Force was also mentioned, which sounded particularly vast.
This journey to Luocheng might prove to be arduous!
At this time, Gongsun Qin suddenly asked, "Since you are Dark Forces, are there any Forces of Light?"
Xu Fan's eyes lit up and he urged, "Speak quickly!"
Though looking troubled, Delaite was unwilling to taste the Jade Silkworm's bite again, so he replied through gritted teeth, "There are no Forces of Light— the entire West has been completely ruled by our Dark Forces. Those hypocritical people who once beguiled the world have been eradicated by us. Only a few lucky ones have hidden in various corners of the world, trembling under the Demon King's might."
These words from Delaite were obviously subjective, but Xu Fan still picked up a few key points.
Once beguiled the world means that the Forces of Light once ruled the entire Western world, probably during the Middle Ages. However, it seemed a war broke out later, and the Forces of Light declined. Delaite's description of their misery, barely surviving and shivering, seemed unreliable.
However, even though the Forces of Light did exist, it was clear they couldn't offer any help now.
With only six days left until the wedding, Xu Fan didn't have the time to search the world for the Forces of Light to seek assistance.
Everything must be relied upon by himself!
After asking Delaite a few more questions and ensuring his arrival in Luocheng hadn't reached the Huang Family's ears, Xu Fan drew his Yanluo Sword.
"Mr. Delaite, thank you very much for your cooperation, but in order for our collaboration to continue, you must die."
Unexpectedly, Delaite did not show fear. Instead, his gaze towards Xu Fan was full of malice! He muttered continually, as if chanting a spell.
Just a dead man, Xu Fan naturally didn't care about Delaite. Yanluo Sword unsheathed, stabbing straight at Delaite's heart.
Swoosh!
The Yanluo Sword pierced through the already spent Delaite, yet a flash of blood erupted from Delaite's body, like an arrow, penetrating the defense of Yanluo Sword and pierced straight into Xu Fan's chest.
"Become a slave to the blood! You despicable Easterner!"
With a hoarse roar, Delaite's body vanished with the flash of blood.
Xu Fan was slightly stunned. That fierce blood flash seemed menacing and extraordinarily strong, enough to pierce through even the Yanluo Sword, yet once it entered his body, it quickly settled down, as if it had never appeared.
Xu Fan calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the changes within his body. Unexpectedly, nothing seemed to have changed...
This Delaite, in his desperate final strike, miscast a spell? Why did it feel like there was no pain at all? Did that red light vanish with Delaite's body?
"Xu Fan, are you alright?"
Gongsun Qin looked worriedly as Xu Fan was hit by the red glow.
"Seems like… I'm alright."
Xu Fan shook his head and stood up, "Let's go. The wedding date is approaching, we need to make some preparations."
Leaving the ancient castle with Gongsun Qin, Jiang Wu's car was still there, which moved Xu Fan a bit.
Upon a closer look, Jiang Wu was shaking all over, completely drenched in sweat as if just pulled from water, with blue veins on his hands holding the steering wheel, and the car was already running.
Looking at Jiang Wu's appearance, it seemed once any monsters or demons rushed out of the castle, he'd immediately step on the gas and flee.
"Mr. Xu! You finally came out! You scared me to death!"
Jiang Wu wiped the sweat from his face, finally seeing Xu Fan and Gongsun Qin come out, and hurriedly got out of the car to open the door for them.
Xu Fan didn't mock Jiang Wu's fear. In fact, for an ordinary person to stay so long in such a gloomy and terrifying place was quite impressive.
Patted Jiang Wu on the shoulder, Xu Fan got into the car with Gongsun Qin, "Let's go back to Luocheng."
