Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 213 Confrontation with Wan Renwang, Yun Yilan, and Shangguan Ce
Yun Yilan raised her hand and waved it, and an orange-red flame soared into the air, transforming into a raging inferno that hurtled towards Zhang Xiaofan.

"boom!"

Flames shot into the sky in an instant, and the commotion immediately alerted the patrolling disciples in Fenxiang Valley. For a moment, the patrolling disciples of Fenxiang Valley looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yun Yilan changed her hand seals again, and the flames transformed into a giant sword, stabbing straight at Zhang Xiaofan.

At the same time, Yun Yilan shouted at Shangguan Ce beside him.

"Send the signal to all disciples to join forces and form a formation!"

"Valley Master, this..."

Shangguan Ce paused for a moment, looking at Yun Yilan's resolute expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Shangguan Ce knew very well that the reason why Master Zhang hadn't made a move earlier was twofold: firstly, to save face for Fenxiang Valley, a righteous sect, and secondly, to give Fenxiang Valley and Yun Yilan a chance.

As long as Yun Yilan chooses to let them go, he has chosen to turn back. Even if old grievances are eventually brought up, Master Zhang will show leniency because Fenxiang Valley is, after all, a righteous path and has made contributions to the people.

However, with the arrival of Wanrenwang, it meant that Yun Yilan had chosen to go his own way, and Fenxiang Valley had no way back. They could only follow Yun Yilan down this path to the bitter end.

After thinking it through, Shangguan Ce couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but he had no choice but to raise his hand and send out a signal to summon all the disciples of Fenxiang Valley.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

When the flaming greatsword came, Wan Renwang transformed into a bloody shadow, intending to bypass Zhang Xiaofan and go straight for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox behind him.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's pupils contracted, and a cold glint appeared on its face. The next moment, a dark red divine sword suddenly pierced through from the side, blocking Wan Renwang's path and forcing him to stop abruptly.

Wan Renwang's eyes turned cold, and he subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiaofan, only to see that Zhang Xiaofan was not looking at him, but staring at Yun Yilan, while a piece of jade light was flashing on his other palm.

The jade-green light was like a special barrier. As the light surged, some ancient and intricate patterns could be vaguely seen on it, like the sacrificial patterns of an ancient tribe.

Under that jade-like light, the menacing orange-red flaming greatsword was easily stopped and could not advance an inch.

"Mysterious Fire Mirror!"

Yun Yilan's pupils shrank involuntarily, and she exclaimed in surprise. Then, her face showed amazement, and she praised it.

"Master Zhang is truly skilled! He has managed to use the ancient artifact, the Xuanhuo Mirror, to such an extent. He truly deserves to be called the number one sword immortal in the world!"

In fact, Yun Yilan had already prepared himself and guessed that Zhang Xiaofan must know how to use the Xuanhuo Mirror. Even if Yun Yilan's magic power was slightly better than Zhang Xiaofan's, he would never be Zhang Xiaofan's opponent if Zhang Xiaofan possessed the Xuanhuo Mirror.

Therefore, Yun Yilan deliberately delayed the time, waiting for Wan Renwang to arrive, hoping that the two of them could join forces, with Yun Yilan restraining Zhang Xiaofan and allowing Wan Renwang to take down the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.

But Yun Yilan never expected that Zhang Xiaofan's control over the Xuanhuo Mirror was even more powerful than he had imagined; perhaps, it had already caught up with that ancient witch.

Even Yun Yilan had a vague sense of absurdity; Zhang Xiaofan's control over the Xuanhuo Mirror might even surpass that of the witch Linglong.

Because Zhang Xiaofan used the Xuanhuo Mirror with such fluidity and ease, as if it were his own arm, he could activate such miraculous effects with such effortless skill, which was truly unbelievable.

No wonder this Master Zhang dared to wait for ten thousand people to rush over. Perhaps, giving Fenxiang Valley face and giving him a chance were secondary reasons. The biggest reason was that he was not afraid at all!
"You flatter me!" Zhang Xiaofan replied softly, his expression remaining calm and composed. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, who was standing behind him and had intended to lend a helping hand, was surprised to see that Zhang Xiaofan had accepted the combined attack of Yun Yilan and Wanrenwang so easily.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox knew that humans were the most intelligent of all beings, blessed with unique advantages, but she had never heard of anyone being so monstrous.

Even her former friend, the peerless genius from a thousand years ago, the witch Linglong, couldn't compare.

"careful!"

Suddenly, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox sensed a chill approaching and quickly spoke up to warn the fox.

But as soon as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox finished speaking, the young Taoist slightly shifted his body to the side, dodging the long, icy blue thorn.

As the Taoist swayed, the two bells at his waist jingled and made a clear sound, causing Shangguan Ce to momentarily lose his senses.

The next moment, a huge fox paw slapped out from the side and landed on Shangguan Ce's waist.

"Oh!"

A tremendous force struck, producing a dull thud, and then sent Shangguan Ce flying, drawing a stream of warm blood.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yilan quickly reached out and caught Shangguan Ce. After seeing Shangguan Ce's injuries, her pupils contracted again.

All that could be seen was that Shangguan Ce's robe at the waist had been torn to shreds, revealing blood everywhere, and four wide and deep claw marks that exposed the bone, which were so glaring.

Most striking was the completely ripped waist, where something seemed to have been split in two, resembling a kidney.

Shangguan Ce was still shaken. If the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox hadn't been in poor condition due to being imprisoned for three hundred years and hadn't been a bit rusty, if the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had been a little more accurate, that claw strike wouldn't have just broken a kidney, but would have shattered his heart.

Seeing Shangguan Ce's pale face, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox snorted coldly and spoke.

"Shangguan Ce, you're lucky to be alive!"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is very vengeful. She remembers Zhang Xiaofan saying that Xiao Liu was tormented by Shangguan Cehan's cold poison for three hundred years.

"Master Zhang is truly skilled. If I'm not mistaken, it must be the Hehuan Bell of the Hehuan Sect, right?"

Yun Yilan took a deep breath, her eyes filled with seriousness, and spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiaofan's strength made Yun Yilan increasingly less confident. She had originally thought that even if she couldn't stop Zhang Xiaofan, she should be able to stop him by ordering the disciples of Fenxiang Valley to join forces and set up an array.

However, his magical power, which had already reached the Jade Yang Realm, was suppressed by the Xuanhuo Mirror in Zhang Xiaofan's hand and posed no threat at all.

Following that, this Master Zhang also possessed the Hehuan Bell, a rare treasure. Just from his fight with Shangguan Ce, it was clear that he was also extremely proficient with the Hehuan Bell.

The Hehuan Bell is best at group attacks, especially when facing a group of Fenxiang Valley disciples whose magical power is far lower than his.

Moreover, Yun Yilan remembered that this Master Zhang also possessed a magical artifact called Biluo Huangquan, which was forged from the Soul-Capturing Staff and the Blood-Devouring Bead, and its power was even more unpredictable and bizarre.
