The battle began, and Ye Tianfan quickly performed an incantation, then pointed towards Brother Yun Tian. The Carefree Sword seemed to vanish like lightning, bringing with it a torrent of crimson, instantly appearing in front of Brother Yun Tian.

Brother Yun Tian saw the crimson torrent and did not panic at all. Quickly forming an incantation with his hands in front of him, the Seven-Star Sword appeared swiftly before him. The seven sub-swords surrounded the Mother Sword, forming the shape of a shield in front of Brother Yun Tian.

However, the shield was not sturdy enough and leaped to the side under the impact of the crimson torrent, though it managed to slow down the torrent's speed.

Brother Yun Tian saw the crimson torrent pause for a moment, then lightly dodged to the side, and the torrent surged past him.

Ye Tianfan clicked his tongue in disappointment. It appeared that Brother Yun Tian had extensive battle experience. With an attack of this speed, others might have either been hit or immediately summoned the Qilin Seal for defense. Brother Yun Tian, however, blocked it with the Seven-Star Sword before dodging easily.

Ye Tianfan once again performed an incantation and recalled the Carefree Sword.

Ye Tianfan gripped the hilt of the Carefree Sword tightly with both hands, channeling the power from the previous incantation, and fiercely slashed towards Brother Yun Tian. A long Sword Qi was unleashed from the blade of the Carefree Sword, slashing towards Brother Yun Tian.

Ye Tianfan didn't wait for the Sword Qi to reach Brother Yun Tian before slashing again, a total of nine times. Then, he tossed the Carefree Sword into the air and performed another incantation, utilizing the secret technique Master Tian Chu had taught him the previous day from the Great Fire Peak. The Carefree Sword suddenly shone with fiery crimson light, then burst into intense flames, shaking the world and changing the colors of the heavens and the earth!

The crimson flames soared into the sky, fierce winds howling, the sea of clouds raging!

Below the stage.

Seeing Ye Tianfan use the Great Fire Peak's secret technique, Master Tian Chu suddenly stood up.

On the viewing platform, the disciples of the Taichu Sect held their breath, eyes fixated. They had not witnessed such intense Immortal Techniques in this Martial Assembly, and even the faces of the senior Chief Elders changed.

The Sect Leader at the four corners of the stage was even more astonished. They could clearly feel the heat, and although the Array on the stage could block all techniques inside, the heat inside still permeated outward. However, the disciples on the viewing platform thought it was an illusion since it wasn't very noticeable yet.

"Boom," nine loud explosions, like thunder from the sky. Brother Yun Tian on the stage used the Qilin Seal to shield against the nine Sword Qi blasts and was about to raise the Qilin Seal to stop Ye Tianfan's incantation. He realized that Ye Tianfan's moves were not simple, and this intense heat suggested serious trouble.

"Did you wonder why I spent so much Spiritual Qi to release nine Sword Qi you could easily block? It's too late now; the technique has already been unleashed." Ye Tianfan said with a smile, holding the fully crimson Carefree Sword.

"One Form!" Ye Tianfan said gently.

Then he raised the Carefree Sword in his hand and slowly slashed towards Brother Yun Tian.

This move was very simple. The name was simple, and the maneuver was also simple, just a gentle slash towards the opponent.

But the outcome of this move was truly terrifying. As Ye Tianfan's slash finished, an invisible Sword Qi rushed towards Brother Yun Tian, and as it passed, it tore an unfathomable chasm in the ground.

"What is this?" Brother Yun Tian's pupils shrank sharply upon seeing the move. He hurriedly placed the Qilin Seal before him, feeling that without it, he would die.

Seeing this move, the Sect Leader and several informed Chiefs were taken aback. They hadn't expected to see this move again, and it was still so terrifying.

"One Form, a simple name, and a similarly simple maneuver." Ye Tianfan gently raised the Carefree Sword again and said slowly, "I focus all the flames transformed from my Spiritual Power on the sword's edge, neither igniting nor releasing, just erasing whatever it touches without a trace."

"What? Such a terrifying move exists!" Brother Yun Tian said incredulously. "I've never seen such a frightening move in the Taichu Sect; could it be?"

No, it shouldn't be his own creation. Brother Yun Tian looked at Ye Tianfan, analyzing in his heart, it must be a unique secret technique from the Great Fire Peak, for such a terrifying move.

Ye Tianfan smiled and then slowly raised his arm again. It wasn't that he didn't want to be fast, but at this moment, his Spiritual Qi was nearly depleted. Moving any faster would feel like needles piercing through him, as almost all of his Spiritual Qi had been drained at once earlier.

"Two Forms!" Ye Tianfan said lightly, then slowly slashed down the Carefree Sword again.

The Two Forms required even more Spiritual Qi than the One Form, but its power was greater as well.

However, this secret technique required cultivators with a level of Qian Yuan or higher simply because the amount of Spiritual Qi needed was enormous. There were a total of nine forms, and even Master Tian Chu could only perform six forms, becoming spiritually depleted afterward.

Ye Tianfan somewhat overestimated his Spiritual Qi. As he executed the second form, halfway through with the Carefree Sword, he blacked out and fainted instantly, though the Sword Qi from his hand did slash out.

He was unaware of anything happening on the stage, only knowing that before losing consciousness, it seemed he had misdirected the Sword Qi.

Ye Tianfan was right; it wasn't just misdirected but drastically veered, slashing towards the Sect Leader Tian Chuzhen. Fortunately, Brother Yun Tian blocked it with the Qilin Seal, something Ye Tianfan wouldn't have known.

Ye Tianfan gradually awoke, stunned for a moment, then sat up slowly. Seeing the familiar room before him, he realized he had returned to the dormitory of Taichu Peak.

"You're awake, that's good." A voice came from the door as someone walked in. Ye Tianfan looked up to see it was his senior brother, You Tianjiao.

"Senior Brother," Zhang Xiaofan called out.

You Tianjiao nodded upon hearing Ye Tianfan's call, then walked to Ye Tianfan's side, sat down, and touched Ye Tianfan's head gently, saying, "Seems like the fever's gone, little junior brother. You scared Master when you depleted your Spiritual Qi completely; he kept regretting teaching you that move."

Ye Tianfan smiled wordlessly, then asked You Tianjiao, "Senior Brother, what was the result?"

Even though Ye Tianfan could guess the outcome, he felt uneasy without someone explicitly telling him. What if the result wasn't as he expected? Although unlikely, there was always a sliver of hope.
