The relentless rain of swords poured down, Situ Jing's protective true qi had reached its limit.

The flickering protective true qi, under the torrential bombardment of sword qi, shattered completely with a bang!

Situ Jing, now at the end of his strength, was swept away by the sword qi, rolling backward in utter disarray.

Like a wheel, he rolled for quite a distance before coming to a stop.

During this process, if observed carefully, one would notice that at the very moment Situ Jing fell, a streak of light had already penetrated his body from mid-air.

The Nine Luminous Cold Gu had parasitized Situ Jing.

"Situ Jing, with such a miserable state, where do you get the face to claim you can be my master?"

The battle had determined its victor, Xu Fan sheathed the Yanluo Sword and walked towards Situ Jing.

With one step, he directly stepped on the struggling Situ Jing, who was trying to get up from the ground.

Looking down from above, with contempt in his eyes, Situ Jing felt his chest surge with blood and qi.

Immediate anger overwhelmed him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of hot blood!

"You brat, you..."

Having roamed the martial world for so many years, when had he ever been trampled underfoot by a youngster like this?

Not to mention, with such a contemptuous look, Situ Jing's eyes were nearly spitting fire!

"Me? What, you think you still have a chance for a comeback?"

Seeing the fury burning in Situ Jing's eyes, Xu Fan squinted and let out a cold snort.

Now that the Nine Luminous Cold Seed was inside him, he had no chance to turn the tables.

"Situ Jing, how does it feel lying on the ground?"

Xu Fan mocked, looking down at Situ Jing sprawled on the ground.

This perspective, he believed, was the first time this old man had experienced such a view.

Indeed, for a master like him to face a young brat like Xu Fan, no one would have expected such an outcome.

The middle-aged man from before was the best example.

That man, though angry at the time, had managed to suppress his impulse to fight Xu Fan, clearly believing Xu Fan would meet a miserable end at Situ Jing's hands.

Now, with Situ Jing lying on the ground instead, Xu Fan squinted, this result must be quite disappointing for him.

"Kid, if you have any guts, just kill me!"

Now that the Gu poison had been planted in his body, channeling even a bit of spiritual power caused unbearable heart-wrenching pain!

Situ Jing had completely given up on resisting; he knew well that he had no hope of winning against Xu Fan.

Gritting his teeth, he roared at Xu Fan.

"Just kill you? Situ Jing, do you think it's that simple?"

Seeing Situ Jing's fierce expression, Xu Fan, feeling displeased, kicked him again.

Back then, wielding power at the Entering Dao Realm, he led Ye Chongshan into Shanghai, had he ever thought of giving Xu Fan a quick death?

Back then, he intended to play with Xu Fan slowly, letting him experience true despair.

To be honest, thanks to his reckless plan, Xu Fan got a chance to turn the tables.

"Situ Jing, our debt isn't as simple as just one life."

"Your worthless life alone isn't enough to repay."

Whether it's Han Dongxu or comrades in Qing Gang, the suffering they endured over these days all stemmed from this man.

Xu Fan would never just kill him directly.

Doing so would be far too easy on him.

"Come on, let me give you the full dragon service experience."

The blood of an Entering Dao Realm master is a great supplement, comparable to Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. Xu Fan squinted, looking at Situ Jing, a plan formed in his mind.

With a whistle, the Jade Silkworm on Xu Fan's shoulder leAPT down.

It swiftly crawled onto Situ Jing.

"You... what are you doing!"

Situ Jing, held by Xu Fan and unable to move, watched in horror as the insect crawled onto him, his legs beginning to tremble.

The fear of the Gu insect had become a heart demon in him over the years. Seeing the creature on his arm, his feelings were akin to a girl seeing a snake.

He was on the verge of screaming and crying.

"Oh, this reaction is quite calm."

Seeing Situ Jing's forced composure, Xu Fan chuckled.

It seemed his years of seclusion to overcome his heart demon had some effect.

At least he seemed less terrified.

"This creature is called the Jade Silkworm, the king of all Gu, naturally its poison's power matches its title."

"..."

Xu Fan described the Jade Silkworm in detail, and Situ Jing, listening, spat out another mouthful of blood.

Was this guy too ruthless?

Already poisoned by one Gu, his cultivation was restricted, and yet he still wasn't satisfied, bringing out the king of all Gu?

Wasn't this too cruel?

Seeing the Jade Silkworm on his arm, Situ Jing considered smashing his head in.

"By the way, the Jade Silkworm doesn't just poison you, it will also drain your essence blood until you lose all your cultivation."

Seeing Situ Jing's hopeless expression, Xu Fan kindly added another detail.

"What! You!"

The reminder made Situ Jing more spirited; glaring at Xu Fan.

"What? Do you think your cultivation will still be of any use?"

Xu Fan smiled, retorting with a sharp statement.

The retort rendered Situ Jing speechless.

With the Nine Luminous Cold Gu restricting him, his cultivation would only bring pain, each use would be agonizing...

While it made sense, truly becoming a cripple, how could he bear it?

From being revered to being trampled upon, it wasn't easy for anyone to accept.

This moment, Situ Jing's expression changed frequently, and Xu Fan, seeing it, chuckled.

Regretting only now? Too late for apologies.

Looking at Situ Jing, Xu Fan said, "Situ Jing, I, Xu Fan, believe in an eye for an eye, and to repay tenfold."

"Today's outcome is the result of your past actions."

"I won't let you die so easily, nor let you escape through suicide; my medical skills will drag you back from the Ghost Gate Pass."

"Understood?"

With those few words, Situ Jing lying on the ground, completely lost all vitality in his eyes.

His fierce protection led to his downfall, for he protected the wrong person, Xu Fan.

If he was a protector, so was Xu Fan.

The deeds he committed in Shanghai targeted Xu Fan to the point of death.

Even the most merciful Buddha couldn't spare him.
