Destined Martial Lord

"Do you have any last words? I can pass them on for you."

Ye Fan arrived in front of Jin Wu and smiled.

"A loss is a loss. I have nothing to say, but if you want to kill me, then do it in the next life!"

Jin Wudi shouted in a cold voice. He put the spear in his hand into his stomach and then slowly fell down to the ground.

Ye Fan didn't stop him, allowing the enemy to choose between them dying. This was the last bit of dignity the enemy wanted to preserve, and it was also his respect to the enemy. However, Ye Fan didn't let go of the enemy's corpse. Instead, he put it into his ring and chased in the direction in which the Duke of Qing's allied forces were retreating.

Very quickly, Ye Fan found the people who were still running away. The commotion from outside the valley earlier was just too great, so they didn't dare turn back. Otherwise, all of Ye Fan's efforts would have been in vain.

"Everyone, stop. Just rest here. The danger has passed!"

Ye Fan shouted out to everyone.

Mo Buli raised her head and looked at Ye Fan flying over. Her tears couldn't help but gush out as she remained silent for a long time.

"Commander Ye, has the Duke of Qin's allied forces retreated yet?"

Jin Liang asked excitedly.

"Yeah, it's fine now. Everyone rest."

Ye Fan landed in front of everyone and said with a smile.

The Duke of Qing's side immediately rejoiced. The danger was finally over. Everything was like a dream. Ye Fan's strength was enough to repel the Duke of Qin's army. His strength was truly terrifying.

If they knew that Ye Fan wasn't trying to repel the Duke of Qin's allied forces, but rather kill them all, who knew how he would react.

"Jin Wu was defeated by you?"

Even now, she still could not believe that all of this was real. As a peerless genius of the Golden Armor Sect, Jin Wudi's strength could crush his peers, and he would be considered one of the top on the battlefield.

"Yeah, he's got guts."

Ye Fan nodded his head and said.

"You're too amazing, you've really surprised me."

Mo Buli said in a low voice. Her gaze towards Ye Fan was filled with adoration.

"Being able to defeat him was also a coincidence. If it really was a fair battle, then defeating him wouldn't be easy."

He couldn't be considered a real fight with Jin Wu. He had used a large amount of corpse energy to activate a powerful attack, destroying Jin Wu's will to fight.

"Regardless of how you say it, victory is still victory. Moreover, you are fighting against an allied army by yourself. Even with the help of some external power, it is not something that anyone can accomplish."

Mo Buli said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, let's not talk about them anymore. Didn't you guys want to see what our mission was all along? I'll let you see it now."

Ye Fan lightly smiled and took out all four of the golden treasure boxes, placing them in a row in front of everyone. Afterwards, he opened the boxes one by one in front of everyone.

Inside each box was a roll of sheepskin. It was part of a map, and when the four sheepskins were put together, it was exactly the same as a map.

Afterwards, Ye Fan read out the contents of the quest scroll to everyone, and they all came to a realization.

"As long as we follow the directions of the map and obtain the Hegemon's Sword, our mission will be completed. Everyone should rest for the night first. Tomorrow morning, we will rush to find the Hegemon's Sword. "

Ye Fan put away the map and scroll, then said to everyone. These people fled after a big battle. Many of the wounded people's wounds were not properly bandaged. At this moment, blood was still dripping. Anyway, the matter had already been resolved, so there was no need to rush back.

Everyone nodded and scattered to rest and recuperate. Finally, they were able to sleep in peace.

The next morning, Ye Fan brought everyone to the location marked on the map where the Hegemon's Sword was hidden.

The location where Tyrant's Sword was hidden was obviously very casual. It was actually located on a normal looking hill. Everyone began digging since they were all cultivators. It wouldn't be difficult for them to level this hill.

However, after an hour of digging, the hill was almost flattened. They still could not find the Hegemon's Sword, so they could not help but reveal doubtful expressions.

Logically speaking, the Overlord's Sword should have already reached the final stage, so the burial site should not be that deep. However, right now, it seemed completely different from what it was before.

Did someone beat him to it?

Ye Fan couldn't help but be puzzled, but he immediately dismissed this notion. This small mound wasn't very eye-catching. Unless it was a coincidence, who would randomly dig around here?

"Keep digging!"

He took out the map and looked at it again. After confirming that his position wasn't wrong, he gave the order. Perhaps it was a prank, so he buried it quite deeply.

Everyone continued digging. After digging another 30 meters, a red box finally appeared before them.

Ye Fan couldn't help but slightly smile. It seemed like he had guessed correctly. He walked over and directly opened the red box, but everyone's expressions instantly changed greatly!

Empty!

The box was actually empty. Perhaps it wasn't empty before, but at this moment, there was a big hole at the bottom of the box. The thing inside the box was gone!

At the bottom of the chest, there was a large hole. It was a dark cave that seemed to have been dug by humans.

Who had stolen the Hegemon's Sword?
