Su Xi let out a cold laugh upon hearing the group of people around her trying to persuade her.
This was human nature, after all.
These people were only focused on how to escape, but they wouldn't remember that she was the one who brought them here. What's more, they hadn't even seen their enemy yet and were already planning to abandon their teammates.
Ridiculous.
They had absolutely no team spirit.
"Enough!"
Su Xi shouted at their murmuring.
These incessant voices were too unpleasant to her ears.
She wasn't a trash can, so she couldn't just keep listening. If she lost control of her emotions, she might resort to violence.
Seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes fixed on Su Xi, waiting for her to continue.
Su Xi's previous displays of skill had already somewhat won them over, so they dared not act rashly when faced with her reprimand.
They stopped talking and turned their gazes to Su Xi, eager to know her next move.
Su Xi silenced the incessant chatter of her "pig teammates" and turned her gaze into the darkness ahead, sneering, "I'd like to see who's playing these tricks."
With that, the fire-poker in Su Xi's hand shot out, emitting a blue and red light.
The fire-poker was highly effective at dispelling illusions.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a figure stumbled out of the darkness, appearing somewhat dishevelled.
Su Xi's attack had been swift and direct, striking at his vital point. He had been in an invisible state, his defenses were low, so his priority was survival. Naturally, he had no choice but to reveal himself.
The man looked very young and handsome.
Dressed in pure white, with sharp brows and piercing eyes, he was like a banished immortal descended from heaven, drawing attention like a star in the darkness.
Seeing the young man before her, Su Xi couldn't help but feel a flicker of attraction.
If they could be together, it would be a rather good choice.
Brother Ouyang Chu glanced at Su Xi's infatuated expression with a helpless eye roll, his gaze full of exasperation.
Good heavens, at a moment of life and death, she was still acting like a lovesick fool. Didn't she realize the danger?
Couldn't these issues be discussed later?
Besides, he was clearly more handsome than this person, was Su Xi blind to not see him?
Yu Fan noticed the expression on Su Xi's face and smiled at her, "I believe you have extraordinary potential. If you become my furnace, I can guarantee you a life of wealth and comfort from now on."
Yu Fan's words carried a great deal of confidence.
After all, his status alone was enough to command respect and give him the capital to look down on everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do so much and even claim the teleportation array for himself.
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh at Yu Fan's spoiled-rich-kid tone.
It had been many years since she'd heard such a proclamation.
Yu Fan's face fell when he saw Su Xi mocking him.
In all his years, no one had ever dared to mock him. Su Xi, a person from some obscure corner, dared to laugh at him; she was truly audacious.
Seeing Su Xi's behavior, Yu Fan's expression turned grim. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Do you truly not know who I am?"
He was confident that if Su Xi knew his identity, she would never dare to act like this. In his many years in the capital, he had never encountered anyone so arrogant.
Su Xi heard Yu Fan's question and shook her head, replying politely, "I'm sorry, but I truly don't know who you are."
The more polite she was, the heavier the mockery in her words.
Seeing Su Xi's attitude, Yu Fan was so enraged that he burst into laughter. He no longer concealed his identity and proudly declared, "I am the young master of the Yu family."
No one present today would leave alive, so he wasn't worried about news leaking. Revealing his identity was no big deal.
Su Xi heard Yu Fan's words and saw the pride on his face, she couldn't understand.
Was the Yu family so remarkable?
What was there to be so proud of?
Yu Fan had initially expected Su Xi to immediately kneel before him, singing songs of submission and begging for his mercy upon hearing his identity.
To his surprise, not only did Su Xi show no reaction, but she also looked at him as if he were an idiot.
This was too much.
Yu Fan felt deeply insulted, and his desire to marry Su Xi began to wane.
Now, whether he married her or not was secondary; as long as he could make Su Xi his furnace, he would gain considerable benefits.
Therefore, he looked at the people before him with an extremely lewd smile.
To him, every single one of them was a potential furnace.
The cultivation technique he practiced was very special, requiring nourishment from collecting primordial yin and yang. Thus, he wouldn't let anyone with a modicum of beauty pass him by, regardless of age or gender.
But there was no rule stating that a furnace could only be female.
Sensing Yu Fan's lewd gaze, many felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being targeted by something unpleasant.
Many even felt a chilling sensation in a certain area, which was extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, many were filled with indignation.
Regardless of what Yu Fan intended to do, his lewd gaze had deeply provoked them.
"How dare you have such thoughts about your grandfather!" someone in the crowd, realizing what was happening, couldn't help but make a move.
He had once been a king in a small world and could not tolerate such an insult. If word got back, his ancestors might be so angered that their graves would spontaneously combust.
Moreover, his sudden outburst wasn't just a result of anger at Yu Fan's gaze, but an attempt to find an excuse to act.
After all, Yu Fan's cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so he felt confident he could handle him. Furthermore, with so many people present, he didn't believe they couldn't deal with Yu Fan.
Unity is strength.
Especially when Yu Fan wasn't a formidable mountain, but merely a minor character.
As long as they could capture Yu Fan, they would have a chance to escape this wretched place.
Yu Fan looked at the person charging towards him without any hint of nervousness, but rather with a faint smile.
To deal with him, these people needed to consider if they were even capable.
Since someone was actively seeking death, they couldn't blame him.
The person didn't even get close to Yu Fan before their body disintegrated inch by inch in mid-air, falling to the ground as a bloody pulp.
The scene of death was exactly the same as before.
The only difference was that this person died even faster.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with terror.
How was such a method achieved?
They had only encountered such ways of killing in fantasy novels, and they were skills possessed by deities, not ordinary people.
They were ordinary people; how could they possibly contend with deities?
Yu Fan wiped his hands and smiled at the crowd, "You have two choices: either surrender, or perish."
From the crowd, a woman dressed in flamboyant attire stepped forward without hesitation, "My lord is so handsome and distinguished. It is my good fortune to be able to follow you."
With that, she walked towards Yu Fan.
As cultivators of the Harmonious Union Sect, they were accustomed to such dealings.
Now that she could rely on this handsome man, she was even more willing.
After all, sleeping with anyone was the same; having a visually pleasing partner might even bring about a fairytale-like experience.
Su Xi paid no mind to this development.
For her, everyone had their own rights.
Yu Fan looked at Wen Chen, who was actively approaching him, and sneered, flicking a white light at her.
In Wen Chen's disbelieving eyes, her body began to disintegrate inch by inch, and then she completely vanished from everyone's sight.
To her dying moment, she couldn't comprehend what had happened.
She had clearly chosen to submit and was even prepared to use her ultimate skills to serve Yu Fan, yet she had no chance to survive and was ruthlessly killed.
Yu Fan sneered, his face filled with disdain, "I don't like used goods."
If he wanted to obtain primordial yin and yang, then the first time was undoubtedly the best. Anything after that was considered impure.
Upon hearing Yu Fan's words, many in the crowd had strange expressions on their faces.
Were his requirements too high?
Some men, upon hearing Yu Fan's demand and knowing they had no chance of survival, decided not to wait for death. They prepared to unite all possible forces and fight back with all their might.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. He's only one person; there's no way we can't deal with him with so many of us."
Someone shouted, and the rest of them chimed in.
At this moment, no one was willing to admit they had lost their virginity. Instead, they displayed righteous indignation, eager to find a way to deal with the man.
Su Xi let out a cold snort at the absurd spectacle before her but paid it little mind.
What happened to them was not important to her. The most crucial thing was to deal with Yu Fan.
Yu Fan chuckled upon hearing the words of the people before him.
Compared to him, these people were like three-year-old children. Their attempt to deal with him now was nothing more than wishful thinking.
His cultivation level was indeed only at the Nascent Soul stage, but that was merely because he was intentionally suppressing his cultivation.
His true cultivation had long reached the Soul Transformation stage. He could break through at any time if he wished. Furthermore, as the eldest son of the Yu family, he possessed treasures that these people would likely never see in their lifetimes.
These people wanted to contend with him? What a pipe dream.
He didn't need to use his full strength; a flick of his finger would be enough to send them all to their deaths.
Understanding this, Yu Fan had no intention of dragging things out.
After all, since these people couldn't help him, there was no need to waste his time keeping them alive.
Therefore, he beckoned to the group before him, "Come here, all of you."
Each of them was slow to act; it was better to start sooner and save considerable time.
Hearing Yu Fan's blatant mockery, the others could not tolerate it and attacked in unison, intending to eliminate him. Even if their strength was inferior to Yu Fan's, with so many of them, they couldn't possibly fail.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a series of explosions echoed throughout the area.
Su Xi and Brother Ouyang Chu exchanged glances at the situation, understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.
Therefore, there was no need for further discussion.
Neither of them intended to join the fight. Instead, they turned and slipped away.
They were clearly no match for Yu Fan, and even if they were, there was no need to waste their time and energy dealing with him.
After all, their top priority was to escape this cursed place.
Moreover, the exit was just ahead; there was no need to waste time.
