Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 242 Female Assassin

Upon seeing this, Du Fan's face lit up with joy. He moved swiftly and arrived in an instant. As he swung his fists, countless fist shadows suddenly materialized, accompanied by a chilling wind, and swept towards the broken sea of ​​mist in an overwhelming manner.

A moment later, the already tattered and dark sea of ​​mist was blasted apart and destroyed by countless fist shadows.

Du Fan turned his gaze and landed on the black-clad man who was making hand seals not far away. Du Fan had clearly felt that when he shattered the sea of ​​mist, the black-clad man's body trembled noticeably, as if he had been affected by it.

"The dark sea of ​​mist released by this person is not as simple as magic. There must be some kind of connection between the two. Otherwise, he would not have such a big reaction when a mere spell was blasted away."

As Du Fan thought of this, it was as if he had grasped something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his figure flashed instantly as he rushed towards another cloud of mist.

Before he even arrived, he suddenly swung his arm, and a water-shadow sword shot out in an instant, but instead of attacking the sea of ​​mist, it swept towards the man in black.

The man in black suddenly let out a cold snort, leaving only one hand forming a hand seal. With a sudden movement of his other hand, he extended his index finger and pointed it at the incoming Water Shadow Sword from a distance.

The next moment, a strange scene unfolded. The Water Shadow Sword, which had been moving as fast as a meteor, suddenly stopped abruptly, emitting a whistling sound, before collapsing and turning into specks of blue light that disappeared into the night.

When Du Fan's divine sense swept over, he felt a sudden sense of dread. He had no idea what kind of method the man in black had used. Even with his strong divine sense, he couldn't sense the slightest fluctuation of magic power or the light of any spell. The other party had so casually pointed a finger and easily neutralized his Water Shadow Sword spell.

Du Fan swallowed hard, but his speed was not slow. As soon as his Water Shadow Sword was defeated by the opponent, he had already moved to a place not far from another cloud of black mist. With the swing of his magic weapon, he was about to use the same old trick again.

But at that moment, the man in black, who was seven or eight feet away, suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed it solemnly at Du Fan.

When Du Fan's divine sense swept over this scene, his whole body trembled immediately. Without thinking, he moved and pounced in one direction.

"Pfft..." Du Fan was still in the air, before he even landed, when he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his mind reeling.

A moment later, he stumbled and landed on the ground, but he couldn't stand up. He suddenly knelt on one knee, panting heavily. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the man in black in front of him.

At this moment, his face was pale and his expression was horrified. Just now, for a brief moment, he clearly felt his heart stop beating, his blood congeal, and a moment of suffocation. Although it was very brief, it was enough to make his scalp tingle and his soul fly away.

"You actually cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body?" A surprised voice came from the man in black.

"snort!"

Du Fan didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with a cold light. After a cold snort, his body suddenly moved and he rushed towards the man in black.

He suddenly let out a low roar, and a large patch of golden light swept out from his left arm, instantly enveloping his entire arm.

After a series of cracking sounds like bones breaking, his left arm suddenly grew more than a size larger and had a faint bronze luster, giving people a feeling of indestructibility and boundless power.

Without saying a word, Du Fan raised his left arm and punched the man in black. Instantly, a golden fist shadow half a zhang in size appeared, like a golden boulder. As soon as it appeared, it caused a thunderous roar that shook the earth.

At the same time, he moved his right hand and slashed five swords backward in succession. Five water shadow sword techniques instantly materialized and, with a few flashes, disappeared into the dark sea of ​​mist one after another, accompanied by a series of clear chimes.

Du Fan's series of attacks came very suddenly. After witnessing this, the man in black seemed to gasp. A look of disbelief flashed in his exposed eyes as he looked at the menacing fist shadow that was coming in an instant, and finally a look of fear appeared on his face.

The man in black swiftly formed a hand seal, and his body once again transformed into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing into nothingness.

Just as the man in black disappeared, Du Fan suddenly uttered the word "Explode," and at the same time, he swung his left arm violently. The enormous, golden fist shadow in front of him trembled slightly and then abruptly changed its original trajectory, deflecting violently in another direction.

A series of muffled thuds echoed from the sea of ​​fog, and in an instant, the sea of ​​fog collapsed and vanished completely.

At the same time, a small golden dagger and a crimson fire needle flew out from it, and after a flash, they appeared directly above Du Fan's head, hovering and flying around, looking ready to strike.

The moment the last cloud of mist was extinguished, the man in black suddenly let out a painful groan. His body swayed, and he flashed out from a void. Before he could even stand still, a huge fist roared down towards him.

A strange light suddenly appeared in the black-clad man's eyes. He raised both arms simultaneously, extending an index finger from each arm. The two fingers quickly crossed to form a cross, and then he suddenly pressed down on the approaching golden giant fist.

The scene that made Du Fan's mouth twitch again appeared. The huge fist shadow suddenly stopped in mid-air under the influence of an inexplicable force, and then began to shatter inch by inch until it disappeared completely after two breaths.

However, this time, the man in black was not unharmed. As he staggered backward, his body jolted violently, and his chest heaved as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"Hehe... Du Fan, right? Dual spiritual roots, Buddhist and Taoist body techniques, magic weapons, talisman weapons... What great skills!"

This is my first mission failure, but it wasn't unjust. If it were those guys, they probably wouldn't have spared your life either. I'm completely convinced of their defeat today.

After the man in black steadied himself, a woman's sweet laughter suddenly rang out, as melodious as a silver bell.

"You're a woman?" Du Fan was slightly taken aback, his mouth agape in disbelief.

"Hmph! What's wrong with women? Don't forget, you almost died at my hands just now! Du Fan, I'll remember you. Although I can't kill you here, you can't spare me either. Farewell, and may we never meet again!"

Upon hearing Du Fan's words, the woman in black became somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. After a soft snort, she immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Who exactly are you? I, Du, have no grudge against you. Could it be that someone is acting on your behalf?"

Du Fan reacted instantly. As he spoke in a deep voice, he suddenly raised his arm and pointed forward. The golden knife and fire needles hovering above his head immediately shone brightly and then turned into two streams of light, shooting straight towards the spot where the woman in black had been standing.

Although the two talismanic weapons were incredibly fast and approached in the blink of an eye, the golden knife and the fire needle still missed their target, passing through the void. A few breaths later, with a "bang," both of them crashed into the distant rocks, causing earth and stones to fly everywhere.

After the roar, the two talismanic weapons finally lost their spiritual light, revealing their true forms. They then turned into dust that fell to the ground, clearly indicating that the attack had yielded no results whatsoever.

"Brother Du is really ruthless, without the slightest bit of tenderness or chivalry. Fine, for the sake of our one night together, I'll give you a word of advice: you'd better be careful lately, lest you get killed by someone else, or I'll lose face."

After a faint, delicate laugh, the woman in black completely disappeared within a radius of several miles. No matter how hard Du Fan's powerful divine sense swept across the area, he could not find a trace of her.

It seems the other party truly escaped by relying on that extremely strange escape technique.

Upon hearing the woman's teasing reminder at the end, Du Fan's heart sank, and his face turned extremely ugly.

"I've never seen this woman before, let alone provoked her. We definitely have no direct relationship before. Judging from what she said, she must be a member of some organization. She came here after accepting the mission to kill me."

Du Fan's eyes flashed, his mind raced, and he immediately began to analyze the ins and outs of the whole matter.

"If that's the case, then it makes sense. But I wonder what kind of organization this person belongs to, and... who is the person who wants to kill me?"

"Since I came to Crescent Island, I haven't come into contact with many cultivators. Who could be the person with such a big grudge against me, yet unable to take action personally?" Du Fan rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, looking utterly perplexed.

After a long silence, Du Fan, who had been deep in thought, suddenly brightened up and murmured, "There really is such a person. He may not hate me that much, but he certainly has a reason to kill me. He is... Hall Master Ma!"

"He should know about my relationship with that girl Ding Lan now, and he also understands my secret dissatisfaction with him. So, Master Ma felt a sense of crisis. In addition, this person is narrow-minded and vindictive, so it is quite possible that he would do such a thing."

"Originally, he didn't need any reason to kill me, nor did he need to ask someone else to do it, but because of Ding Lan, he had no choice but to do it."

"In that case, the nature of the organization that the woman in black belongs to becomes quite clear; it should be something like an assassin organization." Du Fan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he had a guess in his mind.
