Wow!
A storm erupted among the powerful figures of the Blood Clan during the Blood Banquet.
It was evident to everyone that Xu Fan possessed imnse strength, had celestial connections, and was incredibly arrogant, not regarding them in the least. Yet they still didn't expect Xu Fan's arrogance to reach such heights!
No matter how powerful Senior Li Long was, no matter how deep Xu Fan's background ran, it was only external support. Xu Fan was ultimately just a cultivator from Earth; six months ago, he wasn't even a match for a Marquis!
Now, in just a brief half year, even if Xu Fan obtained imnse benefits, what level of strength could he achieve? More powerful than the Speaker? Absolutely impossible!
Xu Fan dismissing them was sothing they grudgingly accepted, but dismissing the Speaker was sothing they could never tolerate.
Dora gazed at Xu Fan, her eyes wide, almost in tears. Those who haven't tasted despair cannot appreciate the preciousness of a glimr of hope.
A person struggling desperately in the desert, exhausting all their strength and nearing death, suddenly sees a water jug filled with sweet, clear water before them. It's not much water, but it's enough to rekindle the hope for survival.
While Jiang Quan was utterly bewildered.
The black-robed elder knew Xu Fan would not abandon Jiang Quan, and Xu Fan knew he wouldn't forsake Jiang Quan, but Jiang Quan was unaware of any of this; he didn't even know who Xu Fan was.
Therefore, at this mont, Jiang Quan couldn't fathom Xu Fan's actions. He was just a Blood Slave, trivial and deed worthless. Why would a human with no prior acquaintance with him pay such a hefty price for his sake? Why on earth would this human risk his life against the Speaker for him?
For the first ti, Jiang Quan felt the significance of his existence.
The black-robed elder was equally astonished and couldn't contain himself as he asked, "For those two, would you rather fight ?"
The black-robed elder understood the relationship between Xu Fan and Jiang Wu, and knew Xu Fan's loyalty, but even so, he didn't expect that even at such a critical juncture, Xu Fan would still be unwilling to abandon Jiang Quan, even if it ant battling him.
"I said, it's just because I find you unpleasant." Xu Fan's face was expressionless, yet his attitude was terrifyingly resolute.
Although Xu Fan's aura had already intimidated the Blood Clan powerful figures present, he still dared not push the black-robed elder too hard. Should the opponent reach a breaking point, launching a collective attack, Xu Fan would struggle to escape.
"Mr. Xu, I quite admire your bravery." The black-robed elder smiled coldly, sizing up Xu Fan with disdain and confidence.
The black-robed elder had already discerned Xu Fan's realm at a glance; it was at the peak of the Zhiwei Realm.
To break through from the Entering Dao Realm to the Zhiwei Realm in just half a year, the black-robed elder was not only envious of the significant opportunities Xu Fan received from Senior Li Long, but also acknowledged the terrifying potential of Xu Fan's talents.
The Zhiwei Realm could defeat Dora and Vega, which proved that Xu Fan's hidden abilities were formidable, even monstrous.
But so what?
Before true strength, all geniuses and talents are utterly powerless, unable to withstand a single blow!
Now, the black-robed elder's sole concern was Li Long standing behind Xu Fan.
With a sinister smile, the black-robed elder took out a sheet of paper he had long prepared, "Since Mr. Xu wishes to fight , it is natural for the Dark Council to give Mr. Xu this opportunity. But Mr. Xu, you have an esteed background, and should you suffer any harm, it might lead to misunderstandings upon your return. How about this: you and I sign an agreent, a life-and-death battle, leaving it to fate, how does that sound?"
In truth, the black-robed elder could never quite understand why soone like Li Long, a powerhouse recognized even in the higher realms, would choose an inexperienced Xu Fan as his spokesperson. How could a young man who wasn't even twenty be thorough?
Empty words, unreliable actions!
Jiang Quan, Dora, Vega, and even the Blood Banquet involving the previous group of Earls were all part of the black-robed elder's long-standing sche, all designed to probe Xu Fan and prepare for this mont.
As long as Xu Fan signed the agreent, Xu Fan would pay a terrible price for his youth!
Everyone was staring intently at Xu Fan, waiting for his reaction. At this point, whether Xu Fan retreated or advanced, it required imnse courage. What decision would Xu Fan make?
"Mr. Xu, no!"
Suddenly, Jiang Quan shouted loudly, striking his own chest.
Jiang Quan, as a Blood Slave, had never felt his own worth until today, when he sensed it in an unknown human.
Of course, Jiang Quan wasn't foolish. He could naturally see that he had beco Xu Fan's liability. If Xu Fan could risk everything for Jiang Quan, Jiang Quan could also die for Xu Fan.
Everyone's expressions drastically changed; those around Jiang Quan were too distant, and the incident happened too quickly, preventing any intervention in ti!
Fortunately, Dora reacted swiftly, grabbing Jiang Quan and rcilessly striking the back of his neck, knocking him out cold.
Dora didn't care what Jiang Quan was thinking; now that a glimr of hope appeared, how could Dora let Jiang Quan destroy it?
This episode was rely a minor interlude. With Jiang Quan unconscious, everyone's attention soon shifted back to Xu Fan.
"Mr. Xu, have you considered?" The black-robed elder squinted with a sinister smile, "Rest assured, with Senior Li Long as your backing, though it's a life-and-death battle, the Dark Council naturally wouldn't dare harm your life."
Though he couldn't kill Xu Fan, given that it was a life-and-death battle, if one side wasn't dead, it wouldn't be over. The black-robed elder could capture Xu Fan and extract everything related to Li Long.
This was the black-robed elder's true intention!
Watching Xu Fan closely, the black-robed elder soon exhibited a look of intense delight, for Xu Fan gently nodded his head and uttered the most beautiful single word, "Okay."
The black-robed elder had his own plans, and Xu Fan had his own ideas.
Xu Fan's concern was never about any single individual within the venue, but rather about a group of powerful figures, a collective assault.
Moreover, in the black-robed elder's eyes, Xu Fan possessed significant backing, so even if he were defeated, he could fabricate so information about Senior Li Long. Would the black-robed elder dare to detain Xu Fan within the Dark Council?
"Haha! Mr. Xu, so straightforward! Here's the agreent, Mr. Xu, feel free to examine it closely." The black-robed elder flicked his hand, sending the pre-written agreent fluttering towards Xu Fan.
But Xu Fan did not even glance at it. Holding it in his hand, he gently shook it, reducing the agreent to flying ash.
"A single battle is all it takes, why take such precautions? If I win, I'll take these two from the Dark Council. If you win, I die! How is that?"
