Even though Ye Tianfan had no idea what was going to happen next, he didn't relax his guard for a second!
Then Ye Tianfan saw that the person who had once again crawled out of the slim Big Fireworks' body went straight into the Energy Shield he had created with the Chaos Treasure Lotus!
Next, Ye Tianfan saw that outside the Energy Shield, that snake-like entity from outside the wall suddenly swung its massive head. Black-violet cold air erupted from its body in a torrent, then was continuously channeled outward, finally condensing above its head into a gigantic black-violet snake formed from Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative auras.
Then that energy snake coiled in one swoop, using its own body to wrap up the Energy Shield created by Ye Tianfan's Chaos Divine Treasure Lotus in an instant!
And after it wrapped around the Energy Shield, the energy snake kept releasing cold air. Inside the snake's body, a large number of ice blades formed and stabbed toward the Energy Shield. Even though it was basically useless, this energy snake still kept doing it enthusiastically, over and over!
At the same time, the snake-like outside-the-wall creature's giant tail lashed violently. That black snake completely condensed from Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative auras tightened its coils even more. From Ye Tianfan's point of view, the entire Energy Shield was now wrapped up by this energy snake, perfectly sealed with not the tiniest gap.
Ye Tianfan let out a sigh. Looked like next he was going to have to face this Big Fireworks' schemes and tricks. In the end, it was him dragging Taichu Zhenren down.
But he wasn't some pushover; he figured he should be able to handle this humanoid entity from outside the wall that had come in. After all, judging from his senses, that guy's strength wasn't all that impressive!
However, the moment this humanoid outside-the-wall creature entered the range of the Energy Shield, Ye Tianfan discovered that he suddenly couldn't mobilize his Spiritual Power. Aside from the Chaos Treasure Lotus continuously absorbing the energy outside the Energy Shield to maintain its ongoing state, Ye Tianfan found he himself basically had no way to mobilize Spiritual Power!
At this moment Ye Tianfan looked over at Taichu Zhenren in shock, and then saw that Taichu Zhenren had run into trouble too—just like him, he couldn't mobilize Spiritual Power anymore!
Ye Tianfan knew they had underestimated the enemy this time. They had never expected this outside-the-wall creature to have such a bizarre ability. Feeling that familiar sensation descend upon him once more, Taichu Zhenren let out a deep sigh. He hadn't thought he would get sealed up again!
Even though Taichu Zhenren could still move, with the Spiritual Power inside him sealed, what difference was there between this and being directly immobilized?
What made Taichu Zhenren feel a bit fortunate was that at least that Big Fireworks hadn't come in personally. If it had entered directly, both Taichu Zhenren and Ye Tianfan would be done for. After all, the reason nothing had happened to him the last time he was sealed was because, at that time, that Big Fireworks itself couldn't move after sealing Taichu Zhenren.
But now it was different. This was an outside-the-wall creature summoned by the slim Big Fireworks. The Spiritual Power it sealed had very little connection to the slim Big Fireworks, which meant this slim Big Fireworks was still free to move.
What puzzled Taichu Zhenren, though, was that this slim Big Fireworks didn't seem inclined to come in. It just watched them coldly from outside!
That actually made Taichu Zhenren a bit happy. Since you're not coming, all the better—we only have to deal with one person whose strength is just a bit higher than Ye Tianfan's!
Ye Tianfan and Taichu Zhenren both focused all their vigilance on this humanoid outside-the-wall creature.
Although Taichu Zhenren was thinking that they only needed to handle someone a little stronger than Ye Tianfan, the reality was that without Spiritual Power, facing this humanoid outside-the-wall creature, they basically had no hope!
It was just that their chances were still better than if they had to face that slim Big Fireworks itself.
But as this humanoid outside-the-wall creature drew closer, Ye Tianfan noticed that its body also seemed to be sealed. At this moment, Ye Tianfan couldn't detect even the slightest trace of Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, or other negative auras on it.
Ye Tianfan assumed it was because his own Spiritual Power was sealed, so he couldn't sense anything.
He thought for a bit, grabbed a small stone from under his feet, and hurled it hard at that humanoid outside-the-wall creature.
Yet Ye Tianfan discovered that when the humanoid creature dodged, it didn't emit the slightest hint of Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, or any negative aura at all.
That left Ye Tianfan puzzled. Could it be that when this humanoid outside-the-wall creature sealed other people's Spiritual Power, it also sealed itself?
Ye Tianfan immediately shook his head, thinking to himself that such a thing shouldn't exist—otherwise, that kind of ability would be pure suicide.
After all, that kind of ability was basically a "hurt the enemy ten thousand and harm yourself eight thousand" kind of move!
But then Ye Tianfan realized that such an ability wasn't impossible either. From the moment this humanoid creature came in, it hadn't used any energy-based techniques, and there wasn't the slightest energy fluctuation on its surface.
So Ye Tianfan concluded that although this humanoid outside-the-wall creature's ability was special, when it locked down foes' Spiritual Power, it probably sealed itself along with them.
Or perhaps this outside-the-wall creature's ability was specifically to seal other people's energy, while it itself didn't possess Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, or other negative auras, because all of its energy had been spent on using that ability!
Whatever the exact nature of it was, to Ye Tianfan it was extremely fortunate. Besides, right now Ye Tianfan could only fight this humanoid outside-the-wall creature in pure close-quarters, fist-to-flesh combat. And since there were no Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, or negative auras on this creature's body, Ye Tianfan didn't need to worry about getting contaminated.
So Ye Tianfan felt that being able to engage this outside-the-wall creature in a proper physical fight was already about as good an outcome as he could hope for!
Still, Ye Tianfan couldn't help doubting whether this slim Big Fireworks' brain really had issues—to actually abandon its own advantage and choose to fight the enemy under the least advantageous conditions!
Ye Tianfan couldn't care less whether this slim Big Fireworks' brain was broken or not. If it was, all the better. Anyway, the battle was now unfolding in the most ideal way for them, so they didn't have much to worry about.
Ye Tianfan had already prepared himself for a brutal, flesh-on-flesh brawl with this humanoid outside-the-wall creature.
From the way Ye Tianfan saw it, this humanoid outside-the-wall creature looked pretty durable when it came to taking hits, and that suited him just fine. He happened to want to re-familiarize himself with his close-combat techniques, get some good practice in—after all, you don't come across a human-shaped punching bag like this every day!
