American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

Pei Yuan's lips curled into a cruel smile as he coldly said, "Because I am more suited to cultivate the Purple Extreme Demon Art than you!"

"What...?!" Ye Fan's eyes widened, revealing deep resentment and jealousy.

The Purple Extreme Demon Art is known as one of the most domineering and bizarre demonic arts in the Northern Region. When mastered to a high level, it can grant martial artists unlimited potential and even the power to destroy the world!

Chapter 236

However, this magic book has long been lost, and only fragments remain in the world.

Ye Fan devoted himself to practicing diligently for several years, but still failed to grasp its secrets.

Unexpectedly, his enemy, Pei Yuan, actually possessed such a unique skill.

At this moment, Ye Fan felt extremely regretful, hating himself for being so stupid.

Pei Yuan sneered and said disdainfully, "It's too late to understand now!"

Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "You surnamed Pei, I'll fight you to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan's muscles bulged and his veins sprang up like gnarled branches. The blue veins were like snakes, covering his entire body and exuding a fierce aura, as if a wild beast had awakened.

Pei Yuan frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He clearly hadn't expected Ye Fan to be hiding his true abilities.

Pei Yuan's face darkened. He knew he had to finish this quickly, otherwise things would get really bad if other martial artists found out.

"Die!" Pei Yuan struck out with his palm, his vital energy surging and surging, bringing a terrifying force with it.

Ye Fan crossed his arms in front of his chest, assumed a fighting stance, formed hand seals, and silently recited incantations.

A surge of powerful and pure primordial energy was frantically poured into the spear.

Ye Fan gripped his spear tightly and used all his strength to thrust out.

In that instant, Ye Fan seemed to become one with the gun.

This is a secret technique that Ye Fan obtained in a ruin, called [Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix]!

The chorus of a hundred birds converges at the tip of the spear.

A dazzling golden light emanated from the tip of the spear, and nine colorful phoenixes could be vaguely seen circling around it, exuding boundless pressure, as if a divine phoenix from the heavens had descended to the mortal world!

Bang!

The golden spear collided with Pei Yuan's palm.

A terrifying force poured down on Ye Fan, sending him flying back several feet, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"What kind of martial art is this?" Ye Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking at Pei Yuan with surprise and uncertainty.

"Hmph, you know your stuff!" Pei Yuan said arrogantly, "That's right, this is a secret technique recorded in our Purple Extreme Demon Sect's most precious secret manual, the Purple Extreme Demon Scripture. This ultimate technique consists of three forms: 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix,' 'Purple Lightning and Thunder,' and 'Ten Thousand Horses Galloping!'"

Pei Yuan said smugly, "I have only mastered one move of 'Purple Lightning Thunder' so far. If I weren't worried about arousing suspicion, I would definitely use you as a sacrifice to appease the souls of the Purple Lightning Thunder Spear!"

"However, you have no way out! Prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuan activated his longsword and unleashed a terrifying blade of light at Ye Fan.

This blade of light, condensed to its extreme, contains unparalleled power and speed, enough to easily kill an ordinary fifth-grade martial artist!

"Oh no!" Ye Fan cursed under his breath.

Ye Fan didn't have time to think much; he quickly gathered all his true energy and concentrated it in his hands.

"Break the mountains and rivers!" Ye Fan roared, gripping his gun with both hands, and bravely charged forward.

“Ding ding ding…”

In the blink of an eye, the two had engaged in a fierce battle of more than ten moves.

Although Ye Fan had the advantage, he was unable to break through the opponent's defense for a long time.

Pei Yuan grew more and more courageous in battle, his arrogance reaching its peak, completely confident of victory.

Ye Fan's heart sank. He realized that he was no match for Pei Yuan.

"Damn it..." Ye Fan cursed inwardly, never expecting that Pei Yuan's strength had actually reached the peak of the sixth-grade warrior level!

Moreover, Pei Yuan's swordsmanship is amazing!

Every strike put Ye Fan in grave danger; the slightest carelessness could lead to serious injury and a crushing defeat.

Pei Yuan's strength was simply too great; even if Ye Fan unleashed all his power, he still would find it difficult to contend with him.

boom!

Pei Yuan punched Ye Fan away, then seized the opportunity to grab Ye Fan's wrist and pull him back sharply.

Ye Fan stumbled and fell, and was pulled into Pei Yuan's arms.

Ye Fan's face turned deathly pale as excruciating pain spread throughout his body, and several of his ribs were broken.

"Haha...you lost." Pei Yuan laughed triumphantly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Ye Fan roared, "Even if I die, I won't let you get away with this!!"

After saying that, Ye Fan bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of hot blood.

Immediately, Ye Fan's eyes turned crimson, and his aura surged to its peak.

Ye Fan unleashed a forbidden secret technique that burned his life essence!

In an instant, Ye Fan's strength increased several times, and he entered a berserk state.

"Hmm? You're actually willing to burn your life essence! You're indeed cunning! No wonder you're the Prince of Nanling!" Pei Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Pei Yuan grabbed Ye Fan by the neck and twisted it hard. With a snap, Ye Fan's head slumped down, his eyes wide open.

"Pfft..."

Blood spurted out, and Ye Fan's head rolled to the ground, his eyes still wide open, clearly dying with his eyes open.

"Hmph!" Pei Yuan sneered disdainfully, stepped on Ye Fan's corpse and crushed it, then calmly left.

A moment later, a girl dressed in a black robe and wearing a black veil to conceal her face emerged from the woods.

The girl squatted down, stretched out her slender, white hand, and touched the cold soil. Her beautiful eyes were filled with grief and indignation, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Brother... Waaah... Brother..."

"Who did this? Tell your sister, and I'll avenge you!!"

"Brother...how could you leave your sister behind and go all by yourself..."

The girl cried for a long time, then suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with a chilling resentment and murderous intent.

"Pei Yuan! I'll make you pay with your life!!"

...

Under the cover of night, the streets of Nanling City were deserted, quiet, and desolate, with few pedestrians.

A luxurious mansion sits in the heart of a prosperous neighborhood, heavily guarded and patrolled by security personnel.

The mansion's exterior walls are adorned with carved beams and painted pillars, and its vermilion lacquer and red tiles showcase the wealth of its owner.

This mansion is the Ye family's residence in Nanling City, and it is also the residence of the Ye family's patriarch.

Today, the Ye family is holding a celebration banquet. Guests are gathered in large numbers, and the atmosphere is joyful and lively!

Inside the main hall of the mansion, wine cups were clinked, songs and dances were performed, and laughter filled the air.

At the head of the main hall, Ye Haichuan, the head of the Ye family, sat on a high platform, drinking and making merry while discussing the interesting stories and anecdotes from today's hunting competition.

"Alas, the Li family has won the championship in this year's hunting competition again. It's a pity for our Ye family."

"Indeed, such outstanding young talents, if they cultivate for another thirty years, may not be inferior to the Li family!"

"Li Mingyu, the genius young master of the Li family, possesses extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength. Sooner or later, he will surpass the Li family patriarch and become the new Prince of Nanling..."

"Hehe, do you think the Li family will make a move against my Ye family after this hunting competition?"

"Definitely! I think the Li family is deliberately establishing their authority to give us a warning, so that other powerful families won't think the Ye family is weak and easy to bully!"

"The Li family has quite the ambition! However, it's not their place to be in charge of Nanling City! If the Li family dares to lay a hand on the Ye family, the other three great families can join forces and wipe them out completely!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their words filled with apprehension, seemingly quite afraid of the Li family.

The Ye family patriarch sat on the right side, closing his eyes to rest, listening to the discussion without interrupting.

"Father, don't you think there's something fishy about this?" Ye Yongxing, the second uncle of the Ye family, asked with a frown.

Ye Haichuan was taken aback, wondering why his second son would ask such a question.

"Father, look, this hunting competition is basically full of people from the three great families and the royal family. It's a real battle of the titans. But why do I feel like all of them are helping Ye Fan?"

"Oh? Now that you mention it, it really is..." Ye Haichuan pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "There is indeed something strange about it!"

"I think it's very likely that the Li family is secretly sabotaging things and using someone else to get rid of Ye Fan!" Ye Yongxing analyzed.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood.

Ye Haichuan squinted and nodded, saying, "That possibility cannot be ruled out! But what is the Li family trying to achieve by doing this? It can't be just out of jealousy, can it? Ye Fan is not only not the Li family's son-in-law, but they also have a deep-seated hatred for him. Why would they help him?"

"Father, I think this might be related to the birthday of their Li family's ancestor!" Ye Yongxing guessed.
