For the first ti in his life, Xu Fan felt such regret. If he had known that this woman was so troubleso, he would have never agreed to bring Bai Ying up the mountain. Arguing with this woman is more exhausting than fighting against the three Supre Elders!
However, Xu Fan knew well that Bai Ying's words were not entirely ant to deliberately drag him down. A dignified Mysterious Light Realm powerhouse, a spiritual beast that has lived for thousands of years, how could they be so cowardly?
Bai Ying's words were rely ant to lighten the tense atmosphere before the great battle.
Not only Bai Ying, but Xu Fan had also sensed the lurking crisis in the Central Hall. In this battle, not just Xu Fan and Bai Ying, even the old monsters of the Kai Yang Realm who delve into the Taoist Immortal Mountain might not have any certainty of victory against unknown formidable foes.
Under the crisis, the relationship between two individuals who were not initially close suddenly beca much closer.
As they crossed the square and approached the Central Hall, the two of them regained their solemn deanor. Blinding golden light wrapped Xu Fan, and Bai Ying's surroundings surged with spiritual power, as if preparing for a fierce enemy.
Standing at the entrance of the main hall was an unabashedly white-haired elder, with hair white as snow, wrinkled skin, and a face filled with furrows, lacking entirely the image of a notable person. Yet, he wore a Taoist gown. It was none other than Fu Qing, the old Taoist!
Behind Fu Qing stood two Supre Elders, with Mingxuan among them. Fu Qing's expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't noticed Xu Fan and Bai Ying, while Mingxuan's face was filled with excitent.
Previously, at the Buddhist Sect, Mingxuan had suffered a crushing defeat at Xu Fan's hands. Although he narrowly escaped with his life, this was a disgrace that Mingxuan had always considered his greatest humiliation! Of course, with the deaths of the three Supre Elders, Xu Fan's reputation as a butcher, Mingxuan had long since buried this imnse and intolerable sha deep in his heart.
Now, with the Taoist Sect fully prepared, Xu Fan ca knocking on the door himself. With the chance for great revenge nearing, how could Mingxuan not be thrilled and excited?
"Xu Fan! You really dared to co! Seeing our old Taoist, won't you quickly kneel and beg for rcy?"
Mingxuan, standing on the steps behind Fu Qing, shouted condescendingly at Xu Fan, and before Xu Fan could answer, he respectfully bent down to report to Fu Qing, "Old Taoist, this is the scoundrel Xu Fan! The woman beside him is the accomplice of the scoundrel."
Avenging a great injustice is certainly satisfying, but compared to becoming the next Sect Leader of the Taoist Sect, it pales into insignificance. Naturally, Mingxuan would not let his own excitent make the old Taoist displeased at such a crucial juncture.
Fu Qing remained indifferent, as if he had not heard Mingxuan, standing silently on the steps of the Central Hall entrance like an ordinary man, having collected all his imposing aura.
He completely ignored Mingxuan's words!
This left Mingxuan both surprised and embarrassed, unable to straighten his bent waist or continue bowing, especially considering he was embarrassed in front of his enemy Xu Fan, making Mingxuan feel deeply uncomfortable.
What made Mingxuan even angrier was that not only did the old Taoist Fu Qing ignore him, but Xu Fan and his accomplice Bai Ying also treated him with the sa attitude, not even glancing at Mingxuan, completely treating him like a re bystander.
This couldn't really be blad on Xu Fan; when the two groups t, Fu Qing stood in the center, and although he didn't reveal any pressure, the imposing presence of a Kai Yang Realm super powerhouse could not be erased. Moreover, Mingxuan was respectful towards him, making it clear that Fu Qing was the real figure to watch.
Given this situation, Xu Fan and Bai Ying naturally focused their attention on Fu Qing.
Fortunately, though none of them paid Mingxuan any attention, Fu Qing finally opened his mouth, easing Mingxuan's embarrassnt, "You are called Xu Fan? Tell , how did you manage to breakthrough the Heartless Path just now."
Although his voice was indifferent and light as if without any weight, it carried an unquestionable tone.
Xu Fan stared fixedly at Fu Qing's aging face, despite Fu Qing not projecting any pressure, Xu Fan could clearly sense a greatly dangerous air from him. This person was more dangerous than anyone he had ever seen!
This was quite a frightening assessnt! Mind you, Xu Fan had seen Kai Yang Realm powerhouses within the Buddhist Sect, witnessing Bodhi's moves firsthand. Bodhi's presence felt grand and imposing, unbeatable! Yet, Fu Qing gave Xu Fan a sensation of sharpness, a blood-sealing throat upon a single strike!
However, having co to the Taoist Sect and climbed this Immortal Mountain, there was certainly no reason to back down before the battle.
Unwaveringly facing Fu Qing, Xu Fan calmly replied, "With one strike."
Neither arrogant nor humble, without a single unnecessary word, just four words, yet they exhibited an aura to counterbalance Fu Qing.
"Oh?" Fu Qing's expression was a mix of mirth and amusent, "I thought it was with the help of your friend beside you that you jointly traversed the Heartless Path. A re Zhiwei Realm junior, claiming to break the Heartless Path with one strike, what a gigantic joke."
Clearly, Fu Qing did not believe Xu Fan could break the Heartless Path relying on his prowess, nor did he believe Xu Fan could do it as he claid, with a re strike.
In the face of Fu Qing's skeptical ridicule, Xu Fan's expression remained calm and nonchalant, leisurely retrieving the Qing Niao Flying Sword from his storage ring, with its sword edge pointed directly at Fu Qing, "Old Taoist, are you only capable of empty words? Old monster, do you dare to fight ?"
As the words fell, everyone including Bai Ying beside him changed color.
It wasn't just Xu Fan's words, but it was also because of the sword in Xu Fan's hand, the Taoist Spiritual Treasure, Qing Niao! The dignified Taoist Spiritual Treasure held in Xu Fan's hand, rudely pointed at the nose of the Taoist elder, was bizarrely absurd.
Even soone as experienced and pliable as Mingxuan felt like he had been slapped, with his face burning fiercely!
"How dare you! Who do you think you are? Daring to disrespect Old Fu?"
As for Mingxuan's clamoring, Xu Fan rely glanced at him briefly, quickly returning his gaze to Fu Qing, calmly saying, "A defeated opponent, clamor more, die!"
Xu Fan's remark was like a slap, fiercely striking Mingxuan's face, making him flush red with anger towards Xu Fan, yet unable to utter a single word in retort.
From beginning to end, whether facing Fu Qing or Mingxuan, Xu Fan's attitude was domineering and uncompromising to the extre!
"Heh, today's youths are truly arrogant! A re Zhiwei Realm junior, and you dare point a sword at , truly amusing..." Unexpectedly, Fu Qing, with Qing Niao pointed at his nose, did not get angry, instead shaking his head with a cold smile, "I ca to welco friends, but since the Heartless Path was broken by you with a single strike, then you two are not my friends."
"In that case, the two of you will have to die..."
With his eerie words settling, the atmosphere rapidly tensed, a sweeping murderous aura enveloping the entire hall.
