In fact, Xu Fan didn't disguise his appearance or attire at all, so the mont everyone laid eyes on him, they recognized who he was imdiately.
However, the Xu Fan standing before them seed nothing like the Xu Fan they knew. Not only was there a dramatic difference in strength, but his personality was also completely different!
The formidable figure before them was decisive in his killing, hesitated not a bit, and would slay any god or Buddha standing in his way!
Yet, the Xu Fan they knew was extrely low-key, even to the point of being subservient. Although fully capable of resistance, he had submitted to Huang Dong's orders, assuming the most dangerous position at the front, serving as cannon fodder.
So, although everyone thought the strong presence before them looked very much like Xu Fan, not a single person believed this was actually him.
Nevertheless, after Aya's reasoning, everyone fell into a deathly silence.
When the first exotic beast charged in, the crowd was indeed very panicked, even terrified to the extre! But so still clearly recalled that when the beast ca, its nose was absolutely uninjured! It was precisely after passing by where Xu Fan stood that its nose collapsed, granting everyone a glimr of hope.
At that mont, everyone assud that the beast must have accidentally collided with sothing, causing such an event. However, when faced with an intact exotic beast firsthand, they realized how laughable their previous assumption had been.
Considering how terrifying the defensive power of exotic beasts is, how could it bleed and collapse from rely hitting sothing?
Earlier, over forty people had concentrated their assaults on the nose of the wild bull beast for several minutes, yet not a single scratch appeared on its body!
So, everything was almost self-explanatory...
Even so, there were still individuals who refused to believe that the strong figure before them was the Xu Fan they knew.
"I still can't believe it! If Xu Fan was indeed so powerful, why would he follow behind Huang Dong?"
"Exactly, not even this can prove that this formidable person is Xu Fan! If I had such strength, I would've ventured deep into the relics to seek great fortunes already!"
"In my opinion, this powerful figure probably resembles Xu Fan rely because they have so connection. That's why he intervened when Xu Fan was in danger to break the exotic beast's nose. After Xu Fan left the team and tracked the exotic beasts, he uncovered the plot of the foreign monks and alerted this strong figure, leading to the current scene."
The crowd indulged their imaginations in fervent discussion, yet a large portion remained unwilling to accept Aya's theory.
In the cultivation world, the hierarchy of strength is severe; each level is an entirely different realm. Even if everyone here were super geniuses, they must adhere to these laws.
A super genius at the Entering Dao Realm Peak could easily defeat two or even three opponents of the sa realm, but would definitely face a tough battle against a Vajra Realm expert, even one who had just stepped into the Mortal Grade layer!
As for a Zhiwei Realm expert, that's simply not within the reach of an Entering Dao Realm junior!
That's why, even though everyone saw Xu Fan, they couldn't believe Xu Fan was Xu Fan. It seed ridiculous yet utterly logical.
However, in their heated discussions, they failed to notice Luo Yan's expression, which at this mont was indescribably complex.
There was so sha, so defiance, so gratitude, and also anger.
Though the others couldn't recognize Xu Fan, Luo Yan, being an old friend of Xu Fan, certainly couldn't mistake him. You have to understand, Luo Yan fought the exotic beasts unhesitatingly not mainly to protect everyone but because he didn't want Xu Fan or himself to look down on him!
If Xu Fan could do sothing in the past, why couldn't Luo Yan?
Even if it ant eternal damnation, even if it ant death, Luo Yan was determined to surpass Xu Fan and achieve what Xu Fan couldn't!
Yet reality was harsh. Facing eight terrifying exotic beasts, facing nurous formidable foreign monks, Luo Yan didn't create a miracle.
When the exotic beasts' assault threatened to overwhelm, Luo Yan felt a sense of release. Although he didn't manage to rescue everyone from danger, at least he had the courage to do what most dared not.
Most among them included Xu Fan!
But just as Luo Yan closed his eyes, Xu Fan appeared, and astonishingly, saved Luo Yan! Anyone else could've saved him, but it couldn't have been Xu Fan.
Considering their always strained relationship, even viewing each other as arch-enemies! If their roles had been reversed, could Luo Yan have acted with such disregard for past grievances?
No way!
What further frustrated Luo Yan was that things he couldn't even achieve, as Huaxia's youngest and most outstanding Zhiwei Realm super genius, Xu Fan managed! Not only did he slaughter all the foreign monks, but with just his strength alone, he toyed with the eight exotic beasts!
How could soone as proud as Luo Yan accept this?
Bear in mind, Luo Yan's breakthrough to the Zhiwei Realm was largely thanks to Xu Fan! Simply because Luo Yan viewed Xu Fan as the target to surpass, he pushed himself to the extre, even daringly entering the near-deadly Luo Family forbidden area to make that breakthrough.
To defeat Xu Fan, Luo Yan had done his utmost!
Yet everything happening before him was like a cold bucket of water pouring over Luo Yan's head. Xu Fan's power was utterly despair-inducing! Luo Yan felt his courage to challenge Xu Fan dissolve completely.
The previous hatred now transford into deep bewildernt.
Facing such a powerful Xu Fan, no matter how hard Luo Yan tried, how much he cultivated, what would it matter?
The previous Xu Fan, with no background, no resources, could easily defeat Luo Yan and leave him behind. Now, entering the relics, they're on an equal starting line.
For Xu Fan, this felt like a dragon leaving the shallow waters, ready to soar high into the sky, unstoppable!
Bang!
A massive roar echoed; the last exotic beast was smashed into the ground by Xu Fan, too weak even to wail, twitching painfully on the ground as life slowly ebbed from its scarlet eyes.
All eight exotic beasts, vanquished by Xu Fan single-handedly!
Such a feat was not just dazzling; it was so resplendent it made people squint in disbelief!
But even Xu Fan, achieving all this, hadn't found it easy.
After crushing the first wild bull beast, Xu Fan's spiritual power barely remained at thirty percent, and now it was completely depleted, not a single bit left!
Sighing lightly, Xu Fan took a mont to catch his breath and walked toward the crowd, only to find their gazes... seed sowhat strange.
