Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 241 The Man in Black

Immediately, a large patch of black light emanated from the surface of the boulder, swirling in the air before enveloping it completely, making it impossible to see anything inside.

Du Fan stood at a distance, his eyes slightly narrowed. Such a strange scene made him wary, but he had no intention of attacking rashly, nor did he intend to flee.

At the boulder, the black light rippled slightly before dissipating, and the boulder itself had vanished, replaced by a black figure.

This person was of medium build and somewhat thin. His entire body was shrouded in a black robe. His head and face were completely covered by a layer of black cloth, making it impossible to see what was underneath. Only a pair of dark eyes were visible, which gleamed faintly in the moonlight, flashing with a cold light.

"You really don't want to say anything?" Du Fan didn't dare to be careless, but his face remained unusually calm as he spoke indifferently.

He had already scanned the man in black with his divine sense and knew that he was a Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivator. Moreover, the man's magical power was pure and profound, so he must be considered an outstanding figure even among those of the same level.

Facing this person, Du Fan couldn't guarantee that he could defeat him, but he wasn't too afraid.

If all else fails, with the supernatural abilities and secret techniques he has cultivated, as well as the various treasures in his storage bag, he believes that if he is determined to escape, it shouldn't be too difficult. After all, the other party is only a Qi Refining Stage Great Perfection cultivator, not a Foundation Establishment expert.

Another point is that he must find out where this man in black came from. The man's previous words have already revealed the extraordinary nature of this matter. If he doesn't find out, it will become a hidden danger sooner or later.

However, what frustrated him was that after the initial words, the other party did not speak again, and no matter how he asked questions, it was as if he were talking to thin air.

Just as Du Fan was racing through his thoughts, the figure of the man in black opposite him suddenly began to blur and quickly turned into a wisp of black smoke, disappearing from the spot.

This scene came extremely suddenly, and Du Fan was startled when he saw it. He subconsciously spread out his divine sense and frantically scanned the area within a hundred feet around him. Because of Huang Laoguai's battle experience, he did not even leave the underground.

The moment Du Fan released his divine sense, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, and his figure shifted to the side in an instant. After a few leaps, he appeared more than ten feet away. Only then did cold sweat appear on his forehead, and he looked back with lingering fear.

Where he had stood, a wisp of black smoke suddenly appeared, as if it had emerged from nothingness without warning. In a short while, the black smoke swirled and transformed back into the image of a man in black, his eyes flashing with cold light as he looked at Du Fan.

Du Fan's breathing became rapid. Before he could even catch his breath, the man in black once again vanished in a strange wisp of black smoke.

Seeing this, Du Fan's lips twitched. Helpless, he moved again, shooting backward. At the same time, he suddenly raised his hands, and with a flash of blue light, four water blades were instantly shot out.

As soon as the man in black appeared, without even glancing at the four water blades that were already within reach, the four water blades flashed past as black smoke rose, completely striking nothingness without any sense of force.

In the blink of an eye, several loud "bangs" suddenly rang out, and a large tree in the distance collapsed under the frenzied slashing of the water blade technique.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Du Fan knew that the mysterious man in black had once again appeared not far from him. He couldn't help but feel a sense of dread and cursed. As he raised his arm, two water blades shot out instantly, and at the same time, his body moved sharply, and he quickly flashed away in another direction.

"I don't know what kind of escape technique this man in black is practicing, but his speed is so fast that it's almost like teleportation. Using magic attacks on him probably won't have much effect."

However, this person's techniques are even more bizarre, and he often remains hidden. I dare not rely on my physical strength to make direct, intimate contact with him under these circumstances. As Du Fan dodged and weaved, his mind raced. At this moment, he already had the idea of ​​escaping.

……

After a short while, Du Fan was already panting heavily. He cursed under his breath and was about to dodge again when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Without a second thought, he swung one hand behind him, and golden light appeared instantly behind him, forming a golden round shield about half a zhang in size. It was the Arhat Shield that he had hastily used.

In terms of defensive capabilities, the Arhat Shield is almost the same as the Weak Water Shield. However, the Arhat Shield is faster to cast. Therefore, in combat, if he doesn't want to expose his strength, he usually uses this technique.

At the same time, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared in the void behind Du Fan, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a pitch-black whip about ten feet long. After twisting slightly in the air, it lashed out fiercely at Du Fan.

Wherever the menacing whip passed, it immediately unleashed a series of terrifying sounds as if tearing through the void, instantly striking the golden Arhat Shield.

"Sizzle..."

A piercing shriek suddenly rang out from where the Arhat Shield and the jet-black whip collided. The next moment, after a flash of golden and black light, a series of cracking sounds followed, and then both shattered.

Perhaps because the man in black suddenly launched a magical attack, his figure abruptly stopped, and he did not arrive in front of Du Fan in an instant as usual.

In fact, the man in black was still hidden in the void, but Du Fan had already locked onto his position with his powerful divine sense. This time, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and instead of retreating, he advanced. With a mere sway, he appeared right next to the man in black.

Without saying a word, he suddenly raised his arm, disregarding the application of the Copper Iron Arm Forging Technique, and threw a punch directly at his opponent, a thick fist shadow that seemed to materialize in an instant.

The man in black was clearly taken aback by Du Fan's sudden attack, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes in an instant, and with a single hand gesture, his body appeared out of nothingness.

At the same time, a black glow emanated from his body, instantly soaring into the sky. After hovering in the air above his head for a moment, it transformed into a black sea of ​​mist, rolling towards the golden fist shadow and Du Fan's location.

Du Fan was startled. Although he didn't know what kind of technique the rolling black mist the other party was using was, he figured it couldn't be anything good, so he naturally didn't dare let it touch him.

He raised both arms at the same time and threw several punches in succession. Then, without looking back, his figure flashed and shot backward. At the same time, he shook his hands, and four blue water blades instantly formed. They trembled slightly in the air and shot towards the black light in the blink of an eye.

When Du Fan steadied himself and scanned the battle behind him with his divine sense, his expression changed again. Whether it was the dozen or so golden fist shadows or the final finishing blow of the water blade technique, they all disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered the dark sea of ​​mist.

Du Fan took a deep breath and, taking advantage of the brief moment, patted the storage bag at his waist with one hand, instantly taking out two talismans, one gold and one red. He unhesitatingly summoned them, and two wisps of divine thought instantly entered the two talismans.

In mid-air, a small golden dagger and a crimson fire needle instantly materialized, their surfaces suddenly glowing brightly as they shot out simultaneously. The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and in the next instant, they abruptly appeared a foot or so above the head of the man in black.

The man in black suddenly moved his hands, completing a certain incantation in an instant. The large sea of ​​mist in front of him suddenly split in two amidst a violent churning.

One of the clouds of mist, after a slight condensation, directly met the two sharp weapons transformed from talisman soldiers, while the other, pitch-black cloud of mist, rapidly spun and swept towards Du Fan with a thunderous roar.

After the golden dagger and crimson fire needle entered the sea of ​​mist, they did not vanish into nothingness as they had done before. Instead, they rampaged through the mist, struggling violently. However, it seemed that breaking free from the mist would not be something that could be done in a short time.

Faced with the rapidly approaching, rolling sea of ​​fog, Du Fan retreated explosively, slapped his storage bag with one hand, and with a flash of spiritual light, a silver sword magical weapon suddenly appeared, which he firmly grasped in his right hand. At the same time, several talismans flew out, which he grabbed with his left hand and quickly slapped onto his body.

Those talismans were clearly auxiliary items such as the Speed ​​Talisman and the Power Talisman, things that Du Fan hadn't used in a long time.

Just then, the dark sea of ​​mist in front of Du Fan suddenly approached. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he stomped his foot hard on the ground, immediately stopping his body. Then, he suddenly swung his arm, and a deep blue water shadow sword was instantly shot out.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his arm again, and with a wave of his magic weapon, he frantically slashed four times forward before stopping his attack and continuing to retreat rapidly backward.

The five Water Shadow Sword Techniques suddenly emitted a burst of blue light, rushing straight towards the sea of ​​mist with a whoosh. They collided instantly and disappeared into the mist, causing a series of low humming sounds.

The entire sea of ​​fog seemed to freeze in place at that moment.

Amidst the churning sea of ​​fog, black light intertwined and flashed wildly, as if desperately trying to devour the five water-shadow swords within.

Seeing this from afar, Du Fan steeled himself and uttered a single word: "Explode!"

The next moment, a series of deep, rumbling sounds came from within the sea of ​​mist in the air. Immediately afterward, thin blue rays shot out from the middle of the mist, extremely dense, and in no time, they pierced through the entire sea of ​​mist, leaving it riddled with holes.
