However, this ray of hope, how hard is it to grasp?

If Baron Kuhn is not killed, and he recovers, or if any baron emerges from the darkness, what awaits Xu Fan is utter ruin!

"Kid! I've said enough!"

Just as Xu Fan raised his fist to deliver the final blows to the dying Baron Kuhn, Baron Nash's body swelled, and he suddenly punched, blasting away the Mechanical Warrior, with residual force rushing straight towards Xu Fan.

Xu Fan silently lamented, but then a spark of inspiration hit him. Without a sound, he placed the Jade Silkworm on Baron Kuhn, and then punched towards Baron Nash's incoming fist.

Bam!

Despite anticipating Baron Nash's strength, it wasn't until personal contact that Xu Fan realized just how powerful Baron Nash truly was.

A tremendous force spread from his fist to his arm, directly blasting Xu Fan away, while an unbelievably cold energy infiltrated, trying to disrupt Xu Fan's Spiritual Power, just like his Ice Energy.

Fortunately, when absorbing Cold Essence, Xu Fan had already endured the honing process, and his body's Spiritual Power had acquired ice attributes. This cold energy was immediately frozen by Xu Fan's Ice Energy upon entry, and with a turn of Spiritual Power, it was expelled from his body.

Bam!

Xu Fan landed heavily on the ground, his heels gripping the surface tightly, plowing a long furrow into the ground before finally coming to a stop.

The force of a casual punch from Baron Nash is truly terrifying!

However, at this moment, Xu Fan did not show fear but instead joined forces with the Mechanical Warrior, forming a pincer formation to encircle Baron Nash.

A few traces of excitement faintly flickered in Xu Fan's eyes.

Though not a martial arts fanatic or a battle maniac, Xu Fan did not shy away from battles.

Especially as he was about to charge into the Huang Family among the Hidden World Families to forcefully retrieve Xiaodie Xia among numerous experts.

Only by continuously fighting and growing stronger can there be a greater chance of victory on that day.

At this moment, Baron Nash glanced at the almost completely frozen Baron Kuhn lying on the ground, his eyes filled with coldness. "Acting without orders, I intended to personally punish you, but seeing you like this, I won't pursue it."

"Just lie there quietly. Suffering a little isn't a bad thing."

After speaking, Baron Nash didn't spare one more glance at the fallen Baron Kuhn, but coldly looked at Xu Fan, "Young man, you need to suffer a little too."

"Because... you're too impolite!"

Baron Nash's body twisted, rushing towards Xu Fan like a puff of black smoke.

On the ground, the almost entirely iced Baron Kuhn with only a gap on his face remained still, while beneath his leather coat, a small jade-colored worm emerged and swiftly, though seemingly slow, drilled into his mouth.

The already faint aura of Baron Kuhn grew even weaker, his middle-aged face degrading like grains of sand in an hourglass, rapidly withering.

...

Observing Baron Nash's elusive, smoke-like figure, Xu Fan didn't panic at all, his right eye flashing with a golden light, directly perceiving Baron Nash's advance trajectory.

With a cold smile, Xu Fan utilized the Dragon Elephant Art, blending into the wind, vanishing from sight.

Simultaneously, Xu Fan controlled the Mechanical Warrior, precisely striking at the elusive smoke.

Boom!

Though the Mechanical Warrior was knocked back two steps, Baron Nash's body distorted, transforming from smoke to human form.

Baron Nash now wore a face of surprise, "How did you see through me? And how can your speed surpass mine?"

Movement technique and speed are vital lifelines for a cultivator. When two sides have similar strength, having one's movement read signifies inevitable defeat, and being caught up in speed leaves almost no chance for survival!

Now, Baron Nash was not only easily read by Xu Fan but couldn't even find Xu Fan's shadow. How could he not be alarmed?

Yet the response for Baron Nash was still another cold punch from the Mechanical Warrior.

Bam!

The Mechanical Warrior was once again knocked back, but Baron Nash's face finally showed a trace of anger.

Neglected by Xu Fan repeatedly, even the most patient Baron Nash could hardly stand it.

"Are today's young people all so arrogant?"

"A mere Entering Dao Realm kid, paired with a dumb Mechanical Puppet holding merely Vajra Realm power, is this the foundation of your arrogance?"

Baron Nash coldly laughed, standing in place, raising his arm directly.

"Blood Domain! Arrogant Eastern kid, witness the true power of a domain!"

With Baron Nash's cold laugh, a hundred-meter radius enveloping the Mechanical Warrior and the swiftly running Xu Fan was suddenly filled with thick blood scent, the ground beneath unknowingly transformed into a Blood Sea, the sky likewise blood-red, surrounded by dense bloody mist.

Suddenly, Xu Fan felt his body stiffen, as if obstructed by countless lines, falling from the wind.

Likewise, the Mechanical Warrior struggled with difficulty.

In this Blood Sea, fighting already seemed impossible, even walking felt like staggering through mud.

More terrifyingly, Xu Fan could distinctly sense that the Spiritual Power that had been surging within his body was now significantly suppressed, and nature's spiritual energy in the surroundings was completely isolated by this Blood Sea!

Why is it said that those below the Entering Dao Realm are mere ants?

The main reason is that Entering Dao Realm cultivators can mobilize nature's spiritual energy, effortlessly transforming it into terrifying attacks.

And now, the nature's spiritual energy has been forcibly severed by this Blood Sea!

Being unable to sense nature's spiritual energy not only puts one at a disadvantage in offense and defense but critically, it prevents the inner Spiritual Power from cycling with nature's, depleting as it's used.

If Xu Fan's Spiritual Power could previously sustain the Dragon Elephant Art for ten minutes, it could now, at most, last seven to eight minutes!

The situation has drastically deteriorated!

It didn't end there, as Baron Nash, now in the Blood Sea, seemed a different person—gone was the long-windedness, replaced with a face full of coldness and a thirst for blood!
