Staring at Xu Fan, who suddenly closed his eyes, Zhao Chenglong was sowhat stunned.
Could it be that Xu Fan had reached his limit, knowing he was no match, and simply closed his eyes waiting for death?
It was only at this mont that Zhao Chenglong finally realized that the person standing in front of him was just a junior at the Entering Dao Realm Peak! Even though Xu Fan's earlier performance was incredibly stunning, and Zhao Chenglong was completely overpowered without using the Spiritual Snake, Xu Fan was still too young! He looked even under twenty!
When I was twenty, could I even withstand one move from Xu Fan?
In Zhao Chenglong's eyes, as he looked at Xu Fan, there was full admiration, yet the Spiritual Snake in his hand relentlessly swung towards Xu Fan.
This battle was not only Zhao Chenglong's curtain call but also a test for Xu Fan. If Xu Fan couldn't defeat him, then even if he gave that thing to Xu Fan, Xu Fan might not have the ability to protect it.
"It seems that the item is destined to be taken with below..."
Zhao Chenglong sighed lightly in his heart, but his offensive did not diminish at all. However, he deliberately avoided attacking Xu Fan's vital points and aid to severely injure him instead.
However, at this mont, Xu Fan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and a terrifying aura rose abruptly.
Boom!
The violent spiritual power gathered between Xu Fan's hands, even making Zhao Chenglong, who was at the Vajra Realm Peak, feel sowhat alard.
Then, Xu Fan unhesitatingly pushed his hands forward, and an overwhelmingly terrifying shadow of spiritual power, seeming as if to tear the entire sky apart, pressed towards Zhao Chenglong with irresistible montum, while the Spiritual Snake, no matter how it swung, could not stop the mountain-like palm seal from landing on Zhao Chenglong's body.
Bang!
Under this palm from Xu Fan, Zhao Chenglong was like an ant, directly slamd into the ground, his Spiritual Snake helplessly dropped, blood streaked down the corner of his mouth, and his aura beca sowhat feeble.
Had Xu Fan not withdrawn so of his force at the last mont, Zhao Chenglong might have already breathed his last.
This palm was the first style of the Mysterious Rank Battle Technique, Sky Splitting Seven Styles—Holding Up the Heaven! Xu Fan had practiced this move to perfection, but it was his first ti using it in actual combat. Under full force, the power erupted from Holding Up the Heaven even made Xu Fan slightly surprised.
"What... is this palm technique?" At this mont, even though Zhao Chenglong was defeated and seriously injured, his gaze towards Xu Fan was brighter than ever, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Xu Fan did not hide anything and calmly spoke to Zhao Chenglong, "This move is called Holding Up the Heaven, the first style of a Mysterious Rank Battle Technique. I hadn't used it in real combat before, so I didn't control the strength well."
After a fierce battle, Xu Fan didn't wish to injure Zhao Chenglong either. Now, surrounded and pursued by many experts from the Zhao Family, being severely injured was a catastrophe for Zhao Chenglong.
Thus, in Xu Fan's eyes as he looked at Zhao Chenglong, there was a trace of slight guilt.
Zhao Chenglong imdiately saw through Xu Fan's thoughts, and at this mont, he burst into laughter, "Cultivators are destined to face death eventually. In this final battle, losing to you, Xu Fan, is already a great fortune."
Zhao Chenglong had long known that he was destined to die. His only wish was not to fight a great battle one last ti but to send an item away, at least not falling into the Zhao Family's hands.
However, the treasures of old belong to those of virtue. Now Zhao Chenglong was unable to protect himself, besieged by the Zhao Family's people, with no ti to find any virtuous person.
Yet, the appearance of Xu Fan brought a glimr of hope to Zhao Chenglong. After this intense battle, Xu Fan further proved to Zhao Chenglong his strength, potential, and character!
Finally, Zhao Chenglong made a decision. Lying on the ground, he even ignored the blood at the corner of his mouth. His eyes, as he looked at Xu Fan, were piercingly bright, as if they were glowing.
"Xu Fan, do you know why I am being hunted by the Zhao Family?"
This question was naturally unknown to Xu Fan. When Old Xie introduced the task to Xu Fan, it was not ntioned either.
"I don't know, perhaps because of the dagger in your hand?"
The dagger in Zhao Chenglong's hand was the most peculiar Divine Weapon Xu Fan had ever seen. It could harm people from afar, although with a short distance, its effect was bizarre, and in a sneak attack, unless one was a Zhiwei Realm expert extrely sensitive to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, it was hard for ordinary people to remain unhard under that dagger.
Such a Divine Weapon, even if not universally desired, would still be coveted by so.
Yet Zhao Chenglong shook his head, "This dagger, nad Spiritual Snake, was acquired by chance. Although precious, it has not reached the point where I could not part with it."
"What truly made defect from the Zhao Family, even at the cost of death, to sever ties with the Zhao Family, was a girl."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan already sensed a hint of tragedy.
"Won from the Hidden World Families seem destined from birth to be objects, objects that bring profit to the family. This girl, even the Zhao Family Princess, was no exception."
"Most people, when faced with the dire straits of life and death, often choose compromise. This is not unforgivable because survival is human instinct."
"However, this girl was an exception. A pure, kind-hearted Princess who seed to step out of a painting chose death without the slightest hesitation in the face of compromise and death."
"I, Zhao Chenglong, have lived for over thirty years, seen too many such things, and seen too much of the ugly truth behind the Hidden World Families. But this particular incident made defect from the family even at the cost of death, to perish together with those hypocritical and ugly people! Because that girl was one I watched grow up."
At this point, Zhao Chenglong took out a Jade Pendant from his bosom, stared intently at Xu Fan, and solemnly said, "This Jade Pendant, which I acquired at a gathering a few years ago, was given to the girl on her birthday three years ago. But now, she has returned it to ."
"Although I am destined to die, I always wanted to leave sothing behind. I intend to give you this Jade Pendant. Now, only you are qualified to protect it."
Xu Fan was taken aback, taking the seemingly ordinary Jade Pendant without decline.
In Xu Fan's eyes, an ordinary Jade Pendant was not valuable; it was just sothing Zhao Chenglong wanted to hold onto as a mory. Xu Fan, with a simple gesture, naturally didn't mind lending Zhao Chenglong a hand.
At this mont, a voice filled with joyful laughter ca from behind Xu Fan, startling him slightly. He turned his head to look back.
