The power of the Rain of Cold Sand is immense. Once deployed, it can release thousands upon thousands of needle-like spikes in a very short time. What's most terrifying is that these spikes are coated with deadly poison, so even a slight contact would be a huge problem!

For Ye Tianfan, this Rain of Cold Sand was originally not an issue. Previously at the bar, Ye Tianfan could deflect all these hidden weapons with just a glass. But this time was different. The distance was simply too close, and the people from Yama Hall seemed to have been prepared in advance. They only unleashed this unique hidden weapon when Ye Tianfan's palm wind was about to strike them, to catch him off guard!

However, they underestimated Ye Tianfan's speed!

Although the firing speed of the Rain of Cold Sand was not slow, Ye Tianfan's speed was even faster! Under the moonlight, the Rain of Cold Sand shimmered with cold glints as it shot toward Ye Tianfan. But it couldn't catch up with him; the cold glints of the Rain of Cold Sand always flew forward at a distance of less than an inch from Ye Tianfan's chest but still couldn't match his retreating speed!

As Ye Tianfan rapidly retreated, the gaunt man's face showed a sinister smile. He once again opened that oil-paper umbrella and walked unhurriedly toward the villa. It was clear that he wasn't trying to kill Ye Tianfan with the Rain of Cold Sand but merely to force him back and buy time.

After the man entered the villa, he immediately focused on the Spirit Sword placed on the table! Without any unnecessary movements, he picked up the Spirit Sword and began to walk outside the villa.

At this moment, a series of whooshing sounds could be heard as the range of the Rain of Cold Sand reached its limit and fell to the ground. Simultaneously, Ye Tianfan appeared outside the villa, coldly glaring at the man and saying, "You're very naive!"

The man frowned, staring at Ye Tianfan, and coldly replied, "Is that so?"

"You think you can take the Spirit Sword from me with a little trick like the Rain of Cold Sand?" At this moment, the profound energy around Ye Tianfan had tightly locked onto the man.

The man's expression changed slightly, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He could also sense the strong aura of Ye Tianfan's profound energy locking onto him, so he didn't move!

Without moving, there would be no flaws!

The man understood clearly that if he made any sudden moves, Ye Tianfan would attack without hesitation, and with Ye Tianfan's strength, once caught in close combat, it would be a dead end!

"I want to know who gave you the guts to come here and steal from me! Could it be that the current Palace Master of the Yama Hall is a fool? Or is he deliberately sending you to your death?"

As soon as Ye Tianfan finished speaking, he took a sharp step forward. Instantly, a strong wind arose. Although the man's expression changed dramatically, his eyes remained calm. He squinted at Ye Tianfan and said, "I'm indeed aware of your strength..."

Before the man could finish his sentence, Ye Tianfan coldly interjected, "If you know, then you shouldn't seek death!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the man once again showed his sinister grin and said, "I have no intention of dying!"

Before he could finish speaking, a cold flash suddenly appeared behind Ye Tianfan. Alarmed, Ye Tianfan spun around to dodge but was still half a second too slow. The cold flash came and went quickly, and in an instant, Ye Tianfan's shoulder was stained crimson, with a deep cut visible to the bone, causing Yan Feishuang to look on in panic.

"It turns out to be the Ghost Blade Technique of Yatsukamai!" Ye Tianfan frowned and muttered under his breath.

It was rumored that the Ghost Blade Technique was Yatsukamai's top swordsmanship. The user could hide in the darkness or shadows and strike from the most unexpected angle, killing without a trace. Even if the enemy dodged, it was impossible to discern where the attacker was hiding. It's a very advanced sword technique and among Yatsukamai, only three people could use it, all being high-ranking members, one naturally being the Yatsukamai leader, and the other two the left and right guardians!

At this moment, Yan Feishuang had not expected that the man from Yama Hall would have an accomplice with such formidable strength! Previously, in Yan Feishuang's world, Ye Tianfan was invincible. At least until now, no one had ever managed to wound him! But this time, Ye Tianfan was injured! This caused a sudden sting in Yan Feishuang's heart. Though the cold flash cut Ye Tianfan, why did her heart hurt as well?

Just then, the cold flash appeared again. Yan Feishuang's eyes widened in shock, and she cried out, "Be careful!"

Ye Tianfan suddenly dodged to the right, narrowly avoiding the cold flash, which skimmed past his arm. Had he been half a second slower, this cold flash could have severed his entire arm!

"You don't think this Ghost Blade Technique can hurt me a second time, do you?" An abyss of killing intent flickered in Ye Tianfan's eyes as he roared, "Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tianfan's profound energy surged out in a storm from his body, sweeping in all directions with overwhelming force!

The Ghost Blade Technique, being the pinnacle of Yatsukamai's sword techniques, naturally had its unique brilliance. The essence of the Ghost Blade Technique lay in the word Ghost, where one learns to conceal before using the blade. The technique's concealment methods are exceedingly advanced, such that unless the practitioner is subdued the instant they strike, once the blade flashes, the user will hide again. Even Ye Tianfan couldn't discern where the attacker was hiding. Moreover, anyone capable of using the Ghost Blade Technique surely has lightning-fast speed, always striking from the enemy's blind spot. Thus, capturing them at the moment of striking is nearly impossible!

However, the Yatsukamai individual didn't anticipate that Ye Tianfan would suddenly employ such a move. He felt Ye Tianfan's profound energy sweep across all directions with overwhelming force, leaving no dead spot! What good is stealth with such overwhelming energy? The man hidden in the darkness let out a muffled groan after being swept by Ye Tianfan's profound energy.

At this moment, the Yatsukamai man suddenly sensed danger! Though he suppressed the upheaval of energy and blood in his chest with effort, merely uttering a soft groan, that little bit of sound was enough!

Ye Tianfan's eyes, filled with murderous intent, immediately swept toward the source of the groan. Instantly, he flashed to that spot, channeling profound energy into his right hand, poised to deliver a hand chop toward the dark corner. Another cold flash flickered, and the keen blade aimed for Ye Tianfan's head!

A flicker of surprise crossed Ye Tianfan's eyes; the Ghost Blade Technique truly deserved its reputation as Yatsukamai's top swordsmanship. Though the man had been injured by his profound energy, his attack remained swift as lightning, quick as thunder!

In the blink of an eye, a palm clashed with a blade—Ye Tianfan with flesh and bone against a steel blade—placing him at a disadvantage from the start. But as soon as that cold flash appeared, Ye Tianfan smiled! The corners of his mouth curled into a cold, indifferent smile, his eyes filled with the contempt of death.
