Chapter 454 Nine Dragons Protect the Master! The Counter-Kill of Pan Shi!
Boom! Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion reverberated, with countless strong golden lights emerging, accompanied by flying debris. A huge crater was blasted right next to the Rune Instrument by the thickest arc of lightning, shaking the entire hall!
Inside the hall, it was a whirlwind of flying sand and stones, pitch black darkness shrouding the space!
If it weren't for the fact that Tiankui Base's core building was specially constructed, it would have collapsed under this onslaught.
The powerful blast of air sent Qi Jiao, Qi Yuan, and others tumbling and flying nearly seven or eight meters away, crashing into the walls before dropping to the ground.
The atmosphere in the room plummeted into thick despair in an instant, and everyone's faces were cast with gloom.
The Four Great Families, Tianji Pavilion, Wang Fugui, Guo Li... so many people following Ye Fan, with him as the absolute core pillar. With Ye Fan gone, everyone suddenly felt as if they had lost their direction in life!
Outside the hall, the moonlight was exceptionally bright, and the trees rustled softly under the caress of the gentle breeze.
It seemed to announce the fall of a hero!
Thud!
From amidst the smoke and dust, a figure blasted beyond recognition flew out and then fell at Chen Hong's feet.
"Damn it... who can tell me what the hell is going on? I was clearly attacking Ye Fan, so why did those arcs suddenly go crazy and attack me... ah... my leg..."
After hitting the ground, the figure seemed to come to his senses, wailing in pain while clutching his broken leg and cursing.
"Steward Pan?"
Looking at the familiar figure before her, Chen Hong blinked twice, her face filled with disbelief!
What was going on?
Hadn't Pan Shi just used the strongest arc of lightning to attack Ye Fan?
Given the power of that lightning, Ye Fan was sure to die! So how come now, Pan Shi had ended up doing this to himself?
And where was Ye Fan?
What had happened to Ye Fan?
With her heart pounding violently, Chen Hong turned to look towards the center of the hall. As the smoke cleared, Ye Fan stood quietly in the middle, eyes closed, as if sensing something, the ground around him completely intact!
Around Ye Fan, nine Dragon Shape golden lights formed a hemispherical protective barrier, perfectly shielding him in the middle.
The place that had just exploded was where Pan Shi had been standing!
So...
Had Pan Shi's strongest attack been redirected at the last moment?
Was it the Nine Dragons golden lights that had burst from the Rune Instrument, forming a protective barrier that not only shielded Ye Fan but also diverted Pan Shi's attack back onto himself?
As Chen Hong's heart was hit with a wave of intense shock, she pondered for a few seconds and then understood!
That's it!
The miss had said before that inside Tiankui Base was a set of self-judging Formation Prohibitions, and Ye Fan must be the one to be recognized to take control of Tiankui Base. If it wasn't Ye Fan, the base would retaliate.
When Pan Shi merged the four Compass Keys and pressed his palm for authentication, he must have deceived Tiankui Base's judging Prohibitions, thus briefly gaining the inheritance power of Tiankui Base.
But when Pan Shi tried to kill Ye Fan, because Tiankui Base detected Ye Fan's presence and recognized him as the rightful heir, at the crucial moment, the Nine Dragons golden lights rushed over and protected Ye Fan, turning the tables on Pan Shi!
Retribution, indeed!

Seeing Pan Shi struggling to stand up from the ground, Chen Hong felt an exceptional surge of satisfaction. At the same time, her expression darkened, and she made a decision in her heart!
Damn it, the ungrateful wretch dares to betray Prince Jin?
Then today, no one will survive!
"My power... why has my power disappeared? My electric arcs..." Pan Shi struggled on the ground several times, finding it impossible even to stimulate his Martial Arts Qi to stand up, as not a trace of Martial Arts Qi remained within him.
Moreover, that heaven-defying electric arc inheritance power had vanished without a trace in an instant! Originally, Pan Shi's body had integrated with insect eggs and meridians which could heal his injuries.
But after being electrocuted by that powerful electric arc, Pan Shi realized that the insect eggs inside him had perished instantly, losing their Vitality Force. Without the insect eggs' assistance, Pan Shi was as good as losing an extra life!
Pan Shi's face showed horror, and he felt as if he were going insane, especially upon seeing Ye Fan, unscathed in the middle of the hall, starting to open his eyes, which filled him with extreme fear.
With such a heaven-defying attack, what method did Ye Fan use to transfer it onto himself?
"Chen Hong, what are you dazing for? Help me up, I haven't lost yet... I won't lose..." Although the outcome seemed inevitable, Pan Shi was still unwilling to accept the reality before him and continued to roar.
He was so close to victory; why must the heavens treat him this way?
Chen Hong, scolded, had her facial muscles twitch violently a few times. She picked up a Battle Saber from the ground and walked towards Pan Shi with it in hand.
The tip of the saber scraped against the floor, creating a string of sparks, which terrorized Pan Shi.
"Chen... Chen Hong, what are you planning to do?" A foreboding feeling welled up in Pan Shi's heart. This Chen Hong was so bold—dared she really kill him?
However, Pan Shi instantly realized that with all his Martial Arts Qi gone and his body severely injured, and with the insect eggs inside him destroyed, he was now completely powerless. If Chen Hong wanted to kill him, Pan Shi indeed had no way to resist.
"To kill you!"
Chen Hong didn't beat around the bush. As she shouted, she rushed to Pan Shi and stabbed fiercely into Pan Shi's chest!
Pu-chi! Pu-chi! Pu-chi!
"I'm doing this to cleanse the house for His Highness and to avenge my dead son, die... you thankless traitor!"
Chen Hong released all her pent-up resentment towards Pan Shi in that moment. As she continued to stab him, she laughed hysterically.
Seeing how things had escalated, Chen Hong knew she wouldn't make it out alive and neither would the Chen Family. Whether Pan Shi won or Ye Fan won, the Chen Family was just a sacrificial pawn... But even on the verge of death, she wished to kill Pan Shi with her own hands.
Chen Hong's Battle Saber twisted inside Pan Shi's chest, completely mashing his internal organs, decisively leaving him with no chance of survival.
"Stop!"
Within the hall, Ye Fan, who had just awakened from his trance, saw Chen Hong's actions and hurriedly shouted, teleporting towards Pan Shi's direction.
Just then, at the last moment, Ye Fan was protected by nine dragon-shaped golden lights, avoiding the fatal blow. The nine dragon-shaped golden lights that burst out from the Rune Instrument contained a massive amount of information, and Ye Fan had been digesting that information.
It was clear that someone more powerful was backing Prince Jin; Ye Fan had previously asked Wu Shihao, but Wu knew very little, so Ye Fan wanted to obtain some information from Pan Shi's mouth!
Moreover, Prince Jin's secret base in Southwest was too vast. If he intended to handle it without raising any suspicion, he would need to utilize some of the information Pan Shi was privy to!
"Ah? Brother Fan, you're not dead?"
"Big brother, am I dreaming?"
"Pavilion Master!"
On the other side, Qi Jiao, Wang Fugui, Yu Qiang, and the others who had already closed their eyes in despair, heard Ye Fan's familiar voice. Their eyes widened in shock, and they looked at Ye Fan with surprise and joy, with a tumultuous wave rising in their hearts...
