Ye Tianfan slowly walked to the northwest corner of the villa, bent down and picked up the Soul Control Sword worth a billion. His heart was full of confusion. Ren Ningyue was from the Celestial Punishment Team, claiming to buy this Soul Control Sword to prevent China's treasures from falling overseas. And with her strength, she could completely guard this Soul Control Sword. But why did she spend a billion to buy it, only to give this sword to him?

Ren Ningyue was neither Long Yuqing nor Qin Ruomeng, she had no need to win him over. Even if she wanted to win him over, she couldn't possibly give him such a hot potato, could she? Isn't this intentionally throwing trouble at him?

The more Ye Tianfan thought about it, the weirder he felt! He truly couldn't figure out how Ren Ningyue's mind worked!

However, Ye Tianfan didn't know that Ren Ningyue didn't want to do it this way either. If she could, Ren Ningyue would have liked to take this Soul Control Sword back to the Celestial Punishment Team's base. But things didn't go as planned. The Celestial Punishment Team received an emergency task, and Ren Ningyue didn't have time to take this Soul Control Sword back. This time, the task the Celestial Punishment Team had to execute was extremely dangerous. This Soul Control Sword was also the target of various forces, so Ren Ningyue couldn't carry it with her, increasing the difficulty of the task.

So, after thinking it over, Ren Ningyue could only leave it to Ye Tianfan, because leaving the Soul Control Sword with him was the safest option. Only Ye Tianfan had the power to keep the Soul Control Sword from being taken by foreign forces!

Ren Ningyue's plan was not bad, but it put Ye Tianfan in a tough spot. Just as he bent down to pick up the Soul Control Sword, he felt a chilling aura coming from outside the villa! This made Ye Tianfan's heart sink instantly, his eyebrows knitted tightly, speaking of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive; trouble indeed came quickly!

"Creak..."

The villa door was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in. Ye Tianfan lifted his eyes to see a middle-aged man in a long blue coat walking in as if on a leisurely stroll.

"Master Li?" Ye Tianfan's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised as he looked at the middle-aged man and called out his nickname.

The middle-aged man's face instantly flashed with a hint of surprise; he sized up Ye Tianfan, then spoke: "You recognize me?"

"The Longquan Sword, renowned in the world, as the hundred-year-old Swordsmith Family from Longquan County, how could I not recognize Master Li?"

Ye Tianfan wasn't surprised by Master Li's appearance. He had already glimpsed him at Mr. Fang's charity ball, and in the Ancient Martial Realm, Master Li was jokingly called a sword fanatic. As part of the Swordsmith Family from Longquan County, it was entirely within his expectations that Master Li had his eyes on this Soul Control Sword!

Except that Master Li was considered a prestigious figure even in the Ancient Martial Realm, with a pretty good reputation. People from the Ancient Martial Realm would give him some respect. Ye Tianfan knew Master Li had his eyes on the Soul Control Sword, but he didn't expect him to really come for it.

"What? Has Master Li come to rob the sword?"

At this moment, Master Li's eyes flashed with a bright light, staring at the Soul Control Sword in Ye Tianfan's hand, he paused for a moment and said: "No, I just want to borrow the sword for a few days to admire it."

"Borrow? Would you return it if you borrowed it?" Ye Tianfan's lips curled into a cold smile. Master Li was famously a sword fanatic in the Ancient Martial Realm, not loving wealth or lust, just swords! Lending the sword to him was easy, but getting it back was almost impossible.

"Robbery is robbery, Master Li, for your age, it's impressive that you can describe robbery in such an elegant manner. With old age, how come your face got thicker?"

Being mocked by Ye Tianfan like this, Master Li's old face turned red, filled with embarrassment! Although Master Li usually acted upright, no one can escape the word greed; even more so, the temptation of this Soul Control Sword for a sword fanatic was simply too great!

At this moment, Master Li's expression changed, his eyes slightly squinted, he seriously said: "Since you won't lend the sword, then I can only take it by force!"

"Can you take it?" Ye Tianfan's sword-like brows raised, and a surge of profound energy burst forth around him! Instantly, gusts filled the villa hall, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

Seeing the sudden aura emanating from Ye Tianfan, Master Li couldn't help but be shocked in his heart! He didn't expect this barely twenty-something young man before him to have such a powerful aura!

At this time, Master Li's left thumb gently pushed, and a short sword hidden in his hand was instantly pushed out of the sheath, revealing about one centimeter of the blade. In that moment, a chill emitted from the slightly exposed blade. As a sword fanatic, Master Li's personal sword was naturally no ordinary item. Revealing just one centimeter of the blade, the chill had already filled the entire villa! But unfortunately, before Master Li could completely draw the sword from the scabbard, Ye Tianfan's figure arrived in an instant, his right index finger flicked lightly on the hilt about to be drawn.

"Buzz..."

The short sword emitted a buzzing sound, the chill disappeared instantly, and the short sword which had been pushed out less than a centimeter by Master Li's thumb was instantly flicked back into its sheath.

Ye Tianfan's ghost-like speed truly shocked Master Li! His figure retreated two or three steps, holding the scabbard, his eyes filled with trepidation.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan was quite the opposite, wearing a mischievous smile on his face, he said: "Master Li, considering you're an elder, I'll give you some face. If you can draw your short sword today, I'll give you the Soul Control Sword!"

Ye Tianfan's face bore a mischievous smile, clearly trying to tease Master Li. Although Master Li was renowned in the Ancient Martial Realm, it wasn't because of his martial skills, but his outstanding Sword Casting Technique! In terms of sword casting, Ye Tianfan admitted he was inferior, but when it came to martial skills, Master Li fell a long way behind!

Seeing the mischievous smile on Ye Tianfan's face, anger rose in Master Li's heart. A junior actually spoke such words! As a swordsmith master, not being able to draw his sword, where would his old face go?

At this moment, a flash of cold light appeared in Master Li's eyes, he coldly said: "You said it!" Before the words were finished, Master Li's right hand had already grasped the hilt of the short sword!

"Ha!"

As Master Li let out a shout, his right hand exerted force, and the short sword was instantly half drawn from the scabbard, sending chills in all directions instantly!

But at this moment, Ye Tianfan's mouth once again revealed a mischievous smile, and that ghost-like body technique was displayed once again. This time, Ye Tianfan moved his shape with his mind, gently tapping his toe on Master Li's sword hilt.

"Crack..."

Just as the sword was about to be fully drawn, it was kicked back by Ye Tianfan again.

Master Li, with eyes wide open and glaring at Ye Tianfan, his face flushed red. Twice unsuccessful in drawing the sword, Master Li was extremely frustrated and knew he wasn't a match for Ye Tianfan, this young man was mocking him!

At this point, Master Li simply twisted his body abruptly, turning his back to Ye Tianfan, then attempted to draw the sword again!

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan felt a million grass mud horses running through his heart! Is there a duel where someone turns their back on the enemy? Master Li truly lived up to the name of a sword fanatic. His current action clearly showed he didn't want to exchange moves, but only focused on drawing the sword! And then win the Soul Control Sword!

What a rascal!

And an old rascal at that!

In order to obtain the Soul Control Sword, Master Li really didn't care about losing face!
