Chapter 2236
"Your bangs are pretty cool, so I was captivated by your allure."
Chuckling, Ye Fan continued toying with Huangniu's hair.
"Buzz off!" Huangniu lambasted furiously.
Then, it shook its head hard, wanting to shake off the man's hand.
Alas, that only made Ye Fan tighten his grip.
Snap!
He abruptly yanked off a few strands of red hair.
"What a b*stard! How dare you pull off my bangs! I'll kill you!"
Upon sensing that the hair on its head had been pulled off, Huangniu almost went off the deep end.
It did not bother running away anymore but flicked its tail right at the man.
A thud rang out, and Ye Fan fell to the ground.
As Ye Fan trembled, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, dying the ground bright red.
Seeing that, Huangniu stood upright like a human, crossing its front legs. It glared at the man and snorted.
"Ye Fan, cut it out, you faker! Back then, even the thunderbolts in the Well of the Thunderdrake couldn't kill you. Yet, I managed to get you to vomit blood with a flick of my tail? You're simply faking an injury to blackmail me!" it huffed, convinced that Ye Fan was definitely putting on a show.
Angie panicked after reaching out and touching the blood on the ground.
"Ye Fan! Are you okay, Ye Fan? Ye Fan! Don't scare me, Ye Fan..."
Patting Ye Fan, Angie started wailing, tears streaming down her face incessantly.
"Don't believe him, lady. He's merely faking it. Let me tell you this—he's an exceedingly crafty fellow. I was fooled a few times!"
Still, Huangniu did not believe that Ye Fan was truly hurt.
In the face of Angie's increasingly sorrowful sobs and the man's breathing that gradually turned haphazard and weak, however, it began to waver.
"Whoa! Don't tell me it's real? Did I really kill him with a flick of my tail?"
It dubiously went over and lifted Ye Fan's shirt.
At once, it was greeted by the sight of a black palmprint on the man's back.
The palmprint was vivid, infused with tremendous Qi.
Not only did it shatter Ye Fan's Thunder God Body, but blood was also trickling out of his skin.
It was not until then that Huangniu cottoned on to the situation.
"You're injured, brat?"
By then, Ye Fan's breathing was already a touch sluggish.
While he was lucky to have escaped in the face of four opponents earlier, the few battles had ultimately injured him.
The worst was the joint attack of the top four elites on the Empyrean Ranking at the very beginning.
Although he had tried his best to dodge and even used Cloud and Mist Sword Technique, he had still taken a devastating blow.
If it were anyone else, that person would have likely died under The Great Four's collective attack.
It was by sheer grit alone that Ye Fan managed to hold out until then.
"Oh my God, you're severely injured! What a fool, still daring to pluck my hair when you're already on the brink of death!"
Sheer shock flooded Huangniu when it examined Ye Fan's injury.
"Quick, stop crying, girl! Hurry up and get on my back! Wan'er has a magical elixir. So long as we can flee into the secret realm, we can save his life."
Huangniu's usual nonchalant attitude vanished into thin air, and it suddenly turned solemn.
No longer daring to tarry, it urged Angie and Ye Fan to climb onto its back.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan's injuries had already acted up, and it was a miracle that he had held out for such a long time and only collapsed then. He would most likely struggle to even walk.
Angie, on the other hand, was blind.
Having no other choice, Huangniu could only pick them up with its teeth and fling them onto its back.
"Keep a tight grip on your lover, girl! Don't blame me if he falls off and dies!" it hollered.
On the heels of that, it threw its head back and continued sprinting southward frantically.
A few minutes after it left, four powerful auras manifested at that exact spot.
Halting her forward rush, Moryana stopped at a particular open space and glanced down at the blood on the ground.
"This is probably left by Chu Tianfan."
"Sure enough, that b*stard is injured. As I said, he couldn't possibly have escaped unscathed against our joint attack alone when we top the Empyrean Ranking. He's already considered lucky to have survived!" Asura sneered after stepping forward and glimpsing the blood stain beneath his feet.
Following the battle earlier, Asura and the others could tell that Ye Fan was merely a supreme grandmaster.
In terms of ranking, Ye Fan was probably not even among the top ten on the Sky Ranking.
As such, they were puzzled about his astounding combat capabilities when his ranking in the martial arts world was so low. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Not only did he survive their collective attack, but he even got an opportunity to take off.
"Don't worry. He won't survive. I've already laid a trap for him, and he'll never be able to escape."
Moryana's face remained devoid of expression.
Thereafter, the four of them set off once more, chasing after Ye Fan all the way southward.
Right after Brighfell River was Yonder Plateau.
With Ye Fan on its back, Huangniu traveled from north to south, traversing half of China before it finally reached the border.
"Hang in there, Ye Fan, you b*stard! It's China's borders right ahead. After passing Harranes, we'll reach India's borders, and you'll be safe! You'll soon be able to enter the secret realm and meet Wan'er.
Don't die when we're just a step away! You owe me a great many girls by now!"
As they traveled, Ye Fan's breathing grew increasingly weak.
It was clear as day that Moryana and the others' attack had caused great internal damage to the man.
Previously, he had been holding on with his phenomenal strength.
Regretfully, his injuries later became all the more grievous due to the bumpy road, resulting in a rapid deterioration of his condition.
Angie hugged Ye Fan tightly.
Meanwhile, Huangniu kept urging the man to hold on while sprinting at full speed.
At long last, a snow-capped mountain ridge appeared on the horizon right before their eyes.
Huangniu was over the moon.
"Haha... We're here! Do you see that dividing line, Ye Fan? Right past that, we'll be entering India. You'll be safe, then! Haha..."
Verily, it was ecstatic.
Throughout the harrowing escape journey, it had been under tremendous psychological pressure.
After all, even Ye Fan had been severely injured by the four people despite being incredibly powerful.
If they were to catch up with it, it would probably meet its end there.
Angie was so thrilled that tears escaped her eyes.
"Did you hear that, Ye Fan? Hold on for a bit longer. We'll be safe after going past this mountain ridge. We'll survive, and the evil won't be able to find us anymore!" she said with teary eyes, hope shining brightly within them.
Huangniu charged forward in excitement and crossed China's borders with Ye Fan and Angie.
"We're safe." Huangniu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"We've been saved, Ye Fan." The string stretched taut in Angie's heart relaxed after they successfully fled China's borders.
At that precise moment, however, Huangniu seemingly sensed something.
It jerked its head up, only to see several supersonic fighter jets whizzing past in the air.
Without warning, a massive object dropped down like lightning from one of the jets' bellies.
"No!" Turning pale in fright, Huangniu put on a burst of speed.
Alas, it was too late.
A resounding explosion split the air, and a devastating hurricane swept across the land within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Scorching heat and a shock wave that could destroy everything turned the whole world upside down.
A great cloud of smoke billowed into the air.
In the blink of an eye, the clear blue sky and deserted plateau were engulfed in a searing cloud of black smoke and polluted by the inky dust.
Everything was devoured by something known as destruction.
The devastation was everywhere, and it looked as though it was the end of the world.
