Chapter 405, One Lu Fan is Worth More Than a Thousand Fourth Profession Players

Translator: Silavin

 

In an instant, nine flames appeared behind Ye Wuxian, slowly encircling her. Each flame could transform into a powerful strike after being enhanced by Ye Wuxian’s Skills. Naturally, it was a formidable Skill that could not be underestimated.

 

Earlier, Ye Wuxian had told Lu Fan that as a Battle Mage, these summoned flames were her most important Profession Characteristics.

 

These flames were from a Skill called Fire Emblem. They were somewhat similar to Xiao Cui’s Dragon Qi, which could be charged periodically with a maximum limit of nine charges.

 

With Fire Emblem, whether casting Skills or using normal attacks with Heaven Incinerator, Ye Wuxian’s Damage would increase several times over.

 

Ye Wuxian immediately deployed all her Fire Emblem, causing even Huang Yutian to take her seriously.

 

He waved one hand, and seven flying swords immediately flew before him, forming a Defence Formation, preparing to meet the enemy head-on.

 

“Attacking directly? Ye Wuxian, seems like you haven’t learned your lesson from being wounded by me the last time. Since you’ve forgotten the pain after your wounds have healed, let me remind you what happens when you face me, Huang Yutian!”

 

Ye Wuxian’s spear was already thrusting forward, with the first Fire Emblem coming to Heaven Incinerator’s spear tip, directly targeting Huang Yutian.

 

However, Huang Yutian was not easy to deal with either. Without moving, his seven flying swords moved as swift as the wind. Three combined into one to meet Heaven Incinerator’s spear tip head-on, clashing together.

 

As the weapons collided, visible ripples spread outward.

 

The two weapons showed no sign of yielding, fighting to a standstill with neither breaking through the other’s defence.

 

However, Ye Wuxian’s offensive naturally was not just this.

 

Fire Emblems burst forth, and from Heaven Incinerator’s spear tip, a Fire Dragon emerged, bypassing Huang Yutian’s flying swords to attack him.

 

Huang Yutian was equally formidable though. The remaining four flying swords seemed to have anticipated Ye Wuxian’s Skill, waiting before Huang Yutian to protect him against this. They now spun frantically like a meat grinder, shredding this Fire Dragon attacking Huang Yutian, preventing it from harming him.

 

After this failed strike, Ye Wuxian showed no frustration, but rather wore a confident smile as she flicked her spear tip, knocking away Huang Yutian’s three flying swords while saying, “Today is different from before! It is true that I lost to you before, but the Ye Family now isn’t the same Ye Family as before!”

 

As her words fell, Ye Wuxian swiftly retreated backward, avoiding two flying swords descending from the sky. She turned and thrust with a reverse spear strike, launching her another Fire Emblem, which transformed into a meteor-like giant fireball, crashing down on Huang Yutian.

 

However, this Skill was also countered by Huang Yutian using his flying swords.

 

Huang Yutian stood in place, not moving at all from start to finish. He clearly found the battle with Ye Wuxian quite relaxed.

 

He sneered, saying. “Oh? How is the current Ye Family different from before? Is it because of that Dragon Tamer, who doesn’t dare show his face, or is it because the Ye Family has become subordinate to the Loong Family. Do you think things will change with the Loong Family backing you?”

 

Ye Wuxian snorted dismissively, continuously unleashing Skills in an continuous offensive. “I’ll say it again, like that pathetic Loong Family is worthy of our Ye Family!”

 

No matter how fiercely Ye Wuxian attacked, Huang Yutian could always handle it easily, which made Ye Wuxian somewhat internally alarmed. [Rumors of how Huang Yutian had reached Level 98 and had gotten a lot stronger seems to be  true!]

 

The last time she fought him, he was not as terrifyingly strong as this.

 

If Lu Fan were not with the Ye Family, and the Huang Family truly came to force their way with pure military might, her Ye Family would have no chance of victory.

 

Unfortunately for them, the current Ye Family was different from before.

 

Although the Ye Family had lost many Third Profession Players, they had gained Lu Fan. And, a single Lu Fan was worth more than a thousand Fourth Profession Players!

 

Huang Yutian was about to speak, to question her. After all, if the Ye Family had not subordinated themselves to the Loong Family, why were Loong Erhu and the others who had come to the Ye Family not here? Why did only Loong Xing return?

 

Suddenly, his heart grew cold as he felt he might have been targeted by an Assassin.

 

Huang Yutian’s expression grew serious, while his eyes flashed with sword light as he began searching around.

 

This was his Peerless Sword Cultivator Third Profession Change Skill Sword Overcomes Illusions, which functioned similarly to the Archer Skill Clarity Eyes, both able to see units in Concealment.

 

Moreover, Sword Overcomes Illusions could also launch a mental attack after he spotted the Concealed unit. He could put them into a Confused state, making it a powerful Skill against Assassins.

 

However, after scanning around with Sword Overcomes Illusions, Huang Yutian did not discover any Assassins lying in wait, as if there were no Concealed enemies around him.

 

[Was my instinct wrong?] Huang Yutian wondered if he was being oversensitive, but he clearly felt the coldness in his heart had not disappeared.

 

Those who could avoid his Sword Overcomes Illusions Skill would need to be at least a Level 95 Assassin, or a Level 90+ Epic Grade Boss.

 

Huang Yutian naturally would not conceive the notion that there would be a Boss existing in the Ye Family Residence.

 

As for a Level 95+ Assassin, while they did exist in the Western Border, they were not in the Loong Family or the Ye Family. Only Second Tier Ancient Noble Families had them.

 

So by all logic, there should not be any Concealed enemies that even he, Huang Yutian, could not detect.

 

[In that case, what is this cold heart gripping sensation!?]

 

The more Huang Yutian thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, to the point that his slight distraction was precisely caught by Ye Wuxian, who successfully broke through his defence lines formed from his seven flying swords. She even managed to reach Huang Yutian’s front.

 

“You dare to be distracted while fighting me!? Though my Level and Combat Power may not match yours, don’t you dare look down on me!” Ye Wuxian coldly snorted, her spear tip blazing with flames as she thrust toward Huang Yutian’s chest.

 

Huang Yutian was startled and drew a circle with both hands before him, casting a Defensive Skill that raised a Sword Formation before him, blocking Ye Wuxian’s strike.

 

Ye Wuxian’s spear strike was enhanced by Fire Emblem, its power was extraordinary. Although Huang Yutian was very powerful, after taking this hit with his Defensive Skill, he was still affected and his face turned pale as he retreated several steps.

 

This strike from Ye Wuxian ignited Huang Yutian’s true anger. He decided to stop thinking about other matters.

 

At the very least, he needed to subdue Ye Wuxian first!

 

“If you wish to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Huang Yutian angrily roared, raising one hand as all seven flying swords came together, all trembling slightly. One could see at a glance they were accumulating momentum, preparing to release a Skill.

 

And, Ye Wuxian knew this Skill all too well.

 

Last time, she had been defeated by this very Skill, taking over a month to barely recover.

 

Huang Yutian had Levelled Up, making this Skill even more terrifying.

 

Ye Wuxian’s expression grew much more solemn as she prepared to do her utmost to receive this sword strike.

 

However, from the hall behind them, a voice drifted over. “Senior Sister, no need to be tense. Let him attack. You don’t even need to defend. I guarantee you’ll be fine.”
