Chapter 2279 Eigetsu
"Who is it? Are you looking for death?"
Celestial Path was suddenly blocked, leaving Ye Fan undoubtedly furious. After dodging the attack, he swiftly turned around and swung the Sword of Yunyang, fiercely slashing toward the source of the assault. However, when the heavy sword landed, Ye Fan only then noticed that standing in front was a captivating figure. In a long, flowing gown, she appeared like a celestial goddess descending from the Ninth Heaven to the mortal world. That ethereal temperament and that elusive dignity made anyone in her presence unconsciously feel ashamed of their own inferiority!
"E-Eigetsu?" Upon seeing the other person's figure clearly, Ye Fan was immediately shocked.
Clearly, he hadn't expected that the one who appeared here at this moment would actually be his Eigetsu.
Isn't this all just a misunderstanding, then?
At that moment, Ye Fan withdrew his imposing manner and instead looked at Moon God ahead with a hint of blame.
"Eigetsu, who brought you here? Get back to your Japan quickly!" Ye Fan scolded. Although Ye Fan had already defeated The Great Four, such as Moryana, Chu Qitian still remained. Even Ye Fan himself had no idea just how powerful Chu Qitian truly was. So, the upcoming battle remained a fierce and undecided struggle.
Previously, Angie had wanted to accompany Ye Fan to Mount Kransbay, but Ye Fan had stopped her. Upon seeing Eigetsu appear here, Ye Fan naturally felt worried and anxious. However, to Ye Fan's surprise, the beautiful woman in front of him remained indifferent to his reproach. On that stunningly beautiful face, there was neither joy nor sorrow. With an indifferent expression, it was as if looking at a stranger.
"Eigetsu, what's wrong? Are you listening to me? Aren't you leaving yet?" Ye Fan urged once again. But still, there was no response.
Instead, after a few moments, Ye Fan saw Moon God raise her long sword in her hand. The sharp sword tip pointed straight at Ye Fan's throat!
"It's you who should leave. If you take one more step toward Celestial Road, you'll die!"
The icy words carried a chilling coldness with them. In that sharp gaze, there was an unquestionable authority. Ye Fan was suddenly stunned. His delicate face was filled with disbelief. "Eigetsu, you... W-What's wrong with you?" Ye Fan asked Moon God in a voice filled with disbelief.
However, Moon God did not answer him. She stood before Celestial Road, her long sword pointing forward in her hand. It seemed she was determined to block this place, not allowing Ye Fan to set foot on Celestial Road at all. This scene undoubtedly made Ye Fan's eyebrows furrow deeply.
"Eigetsu, have you gone mad? How dare you point the sword at me? I don't have time for this right now. Get out of the way quickly!" Ye Fan urged with a frown.
At the same time, Ye Fan stepped forward, ready to push away Moon God and ascend Celestial Road once more. However, how could Tsukuyomi Tenshin let Ye Fan have his wish fulfilled? Suddenly, Moon God struck out with her palm, landing it directly on Ye Fan's chest. Ye Fan clearly didn't expect that Moon God would actually dare to attack him. Caught off guard, he was ultimately struck by Moon God. Ye Fan let out a muffled grunt as a massive surge of Qi enveloped his body, and he retreated dozens of steps!
"Chu Tianfan, don't push me! I don't want to kill you. Leave quickly and exit Mount Kransbay. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" Moon God spoke again. However, it was evident that her expression was filled with the agony of struggle.
"Eigetsu, what's really going on with you? Could it be that you also wish to ascend Celestial Road and open Sky Gate?" Ye Fan asked Moon God with confusion. At this moment, the voice of War God Ye Qingtian echoed from the foot of the mountain.
"Ye Fan, it seems that Moon God has also been controlled by Symborsus. Now, she is no longer Moon God she once was." Ye Qingtian reminded Ye Fan at the foot of the mountain. Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's entire body shuddered.
"What did you say? Eigetsu, s-she's also been enslaved by Symborsus? H-How is this possible?" Ye Fan said.
At this moment, Ye Fan could no longer maintain his composure.
"Eigetsu, is this really true? Are you enslaved too? Have you already acknowledged Symborsus as your master?" Ye Fan asked. Ye Fan's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a deep sense of sorrow in his gaze. Sword Saint and King of Fighters were enslaved, but Ye Fan didn't care. Moryana, Odin, and the others were enslaved, but it had nothing to do with Ye Fan. Even if everyone in the world were to offer sacrifices to Symborsus, Ye Fan's heart would remain completely undisturbed. However, when Ye Fan heard that Eigetsu had also fallen victim to a cruel fate, the deepest tenderness in his heart was ultimately pierced with pain.
"How could this be? How could even Eigetsu be..." Ye Fan's heart was filled with immense sorrow. This was the scene he least wanted to see. He could ruthlessly kill everyone in the world, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to face those he cared for and loved.
"Eigetsu, don't worry. I promise, once I've slain Symborsus, I will help you remove the spiritual marking in your heart!" At this moment, Ye Fan's hatred for Symborsus undoubtedly grew even stronger. After a brief moment of sorrow, he suppressed the emotions in his heart. And then, once again, he rushed forward to Celestial Road.
"Stop right there! Take one more step, and you're dead!" Moon God's mechanical voice resounded once again. At this moment, Moon God was like a robot, mechanically repeating her master's commands. However, this time, Ye Fan no longer listened to Moon God. Time was running out. Chu Qitian had already covered almost half of the journey. If Ye Fan delayed any further, it would be quite difficult for Ye Fan to catch up.
Eigetsu, I'm sorry!
Ye Fan whispered softly in his heart. Then, holding the Sword of Yunyang, he burst forth in an instant. In an instant, the Sword of Yunyang struck several times in succession.
The Cloud and Mist Sword Technique reappeared in the world! This time, Ye Fan didn't hold back at all. In an instant, seven consecutive slashes of the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique were unleashed. The first strike was Wind Flow; the second was Ice Heart; the third was Green Dragon... Seven sword lights flashed, crisscrossing as they descend. In an instant, the entire peak of Kransbay was engulfed by the surging waves of sword energy. From afar, it looked like seven rivers of swords, surging from Ye Fan and completely trapping Tsukuyomi within them. Upon witnessing the scene before them, Ye Qingtian and the others couldn't help but secretly gulp in fear.
Ye Fan is truly ruthless. Even when facing Moon God, he dares to strike directly and mercilessly. As soon as he attacks, he uses a terrifying killing technique.
The Cloud and Mist Sword Technique was probably the strongest swordsmanship Ye Fan has mastered. Previously, Ye Fan had unleashed seven consecutive sword strikes, killing dozens of Supremes in the process. Now, with the enhancement of the Raijin Thunderdrake's power, the might of the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique had undoubtedly become even stronger. In this situation, Ye Fan still showed no intention of holding back. He directly struck Tsukuyomi with the mightiest sword.
"This guy, when he goes crazy, he really doesn't recognize anyone, even his own family."
"Indeed, it's such a waste that Moon God has given him her wholehearted devotion."
"Even when controlled by Symborsus, Moon God still harbors a trace of reluctance and a hint of lingering affection when facing Ye Fan."
"But this guy, he doesn't care about sentiment at all. As soon as he makes a move, it's a deadly attack..."
Upon witnessing Ye Fan's attacks, both Prince Carlo and Great Emperor Aaron couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Only now did they realize just how terrifying a monster the man before them truly was As the saying went, even the sky would age if it had emotions. In today's world, the most terrifying people were often not those who wield the greatest power, but rather those who had lost their compassion and emotions. These people, devoid of desire, demand, and emotion, were the ones who evoked the most trembling fear.
And now, in the eyes of Ye Qingtian and others, Ye Fan had undoubtedly become this kind of ruthless machine that only knew how to kill. However, how could Ye Qingtian and the others possibly know Ye Fan's considerations? Ye Fan struck with all his might, not to kill Moon God, but merely to wound her severely. Only by inflicting severe injuries on Moon God could she lose her combat abilities. In that case, it wouldn't affect Ye Fan when he climbed Celestial Road.
Otherwise, once Moon God joined forces with Chu Qitian, even Ye Fan might find it difficult to defend against them. When the time came, once Chu Qitian opened Sky Gate, the power of Symborsus would truly be unsealed. If that happened, all of this would truly be over!
