With Ye Fan's current strength, he couldn't yet face opponents like Brother Lian, who was at the mid to late Golden Core Stage. However, besides his incomplete spiritual artifact, the Magic Mirror, he also had a low-grade but highly growth-oriented treasure, the Town Refinement Banner.
The Town Refinement Banner could not counteract tangible objects, but it had an almost terrifying effect on Spiritual Energy, nearly fully absorbing it. With Brother Lian's Golden Core Stage cultivation, the Spiritual Energy he released could only be mostly absorbed by the Town Refinement Banner. Resolving this would allow Ye Fan to withstand this wave of attack.
"Die!" Brother Lian leaped down from above, aiming a palm at Ye Fan's crown.
At this moment, Ye Fan was entirely focused on neutralizing the strong Spiritual Energy rushing at him, unable to pay heed to the danger from above.
