Killing a Speaker of the Dark Council is aningless, as the upper echelon can send even stronger beings at any ti, and it increases the possibility of these Blood Clan powerhouses becoming desperate, making it an unwise trade.
What Xu Fan wants is rely to confuse the upper echelon's perception.
Hence, a battle is necessary! But life and death is not required.
The black-robed old man squinted his eyes, staring intently at Xu Fan as if trying to see through him, "Hehe, the visitor is a guest, then as the gentleman wishes."
Hearing Xu Fan's refusal to fight a life-and-death battle, the black-robed old man almost believed Xu Fan had discovered his sche! However, upon further thought, he figured it out.
After all, Xu Fan represents Li Long, which is highly significant, and it's understandable that he wouldn't want to easily sign an agreent. As long as Xu Fan is willing to battle him, he can incapacitate Xu Fan and keep him restrained in the Dark Council under the guise of healing, thus extracting the information he needs.
"Mr. Xu, please."
The black-robed old man gestured politely and walked towards the outside of the hall first. Despite not taking Xu Fan seriously, he understood that such a level of combat in the hall could nearly dismantle the lair of the Dark Council.
Xu Fan hesitated not at all, walking boldly behind the black-robed old man. A group of strong Blood Clan mbers exchanged glances, then unanimously followed the two outside.
Even among the elders in the Dark Council, it's rare to see the Speaker take action personally. Now, due to Xu Fan, they are fortunate to witness a battle at the pinnacle level in the Cultivation World, sothing no powerful one's willing to miss.
Of course, they do not believe Xu Fan can withstand many moves under the Speaker's hand. Apparently, Xu Fan agreed to the challenge, considering himself cleverly led into a trap by the Speaker, yet oblivious of it himself.
Dora clenched her teeth, carrying the unconscious Jiang Quan, and followed outside. Regardless of whether Xu Fan wins or loses, Dora would not let go of her sole hope. The Dark Council could no longer tolerate Dora's existence.
...
Leaving the manor, they sped all the way, and the black-robed old man stopped over a vast river.
The level of combat in the Kai Yang Realm naturally causes earth-shattering disturbances, and due to the severe urbanization, mountains and such places are all trodden by the mundane, making it difficult to find suitable grounds except for terrains like rivers or seas.
This section of the river, the Mississippi River, is extrely wide, enough to accommodate the combat without interruption.
On the river's surface, the two were separated by a hundred ters. Unbeknownst to Xu Fan, the black-robed old man held a sinister iron hook overflowing with black aura, chilling to the bone. Xu Fan, on the other hand, stood calmly with his hands behind, appearing quite composed.
"Young man, blades know no rcy, now is the ti for regrets," At this point, the bowstring was taut and must be released, and there was little need for pretense. The black-robed old man's address for Xu Fan changed from Mr. Xu to young man.
On one hand, the black-robed old man aid to pressure Xu Fan with his presence, while on the other, he genuinely underestimated Xu Fan's strength.
A dedicated powerhouse, who tread from humble beginnings to peak prowess over a thousand years, faced a lucky youth of not even twenty years, flaunting a significant psychological superiority, displayed by the black-robed old man at this mont.
But one cannot simply accuse him of arrogance. Pre-empting is one of the strategies utilized by battle-seasoned individuals before combat.
He simply chose the wrong opponent!
Facing the oppressive presence of the black-robed old man, Xu Fan's expression was as serene as an ancient well, quietly speaking, "You should feel lucky."
"Lucky? Why should I feel lucky?" The black-robed old man's expression turned odd.
With his hands behind, Xu Fan spoke intentionally shocking words with ease, "Li Long warned before I departed, unless absolutely necessary, avoid killing, at least for now."
The black-robed old man was ntally struck and involuntarily questioned, "Is Li Long waiting for the millennial opportunity? Planning to act during the millennial opportunity? Or perhaps... has Li Long been severely injured, yet to recover his full strength?"
Attempting to pre-empt, the black-robed old man found his montum undermined by Xu Fan's few words.
Seizing this advantage, Xu Fan continued nonchalantly, "Why concern yourself with matters that shouldn't be questioned? Knowing too much guarantees your death!"
The black-robed old man trembled, a tidal wave surged within his heart.
Knowing too much guarantees his death? Li Long wouldn't personally attack him, and Li Long's clan mbers were long slaughtered and captured, so the attacker couldn't be from Li Long's side. Could it be the Demon Lord?
Does knowing too much an the Demon Lord might kill him to prevent leaks?
This... seems possible! In the Demon Lord's eyes, he is rely an ant, easily disposed of. Eliminating an ant to prevent leaks is definitely advantageous for the Demon Lord!
Such details, when examined closely, are terrifying! While the black-robed old man wishes to inquire further with Xu Fan, he simultaneously fears Xu Fan might divulge information he should not know, leaving him uncertain.
He who intended to ensnare others, is himself ensnared by another.
Observing the black-robed old man, furrowing his brow with a complex expression, Xu Fan slightly smiled, activating the Perfection Realm Luo Yan Step, striking fiercely with a sky-rending punch at the black-robed old man.
Xian Fan was a re Zhiwei Realm Peak, while the black-robed old man was a Kai Yang Realm pinnacle powerhouse, making psychological warfare and surprise attacks effortless for Xu Fan.
The black-robed old man reacted swiftly, recovering at the mont Xu Fan moved, internally cursing Xu Fan's cunning, yet unworried. He casually issued a palm, their energies clashing, forming a violent Spiritual Power vortex, stirring a storm above the river.
Initially, the black-robed old man intended to use weapons to grievously injure Xu Fan, but now felt constrained. Knowing too much guarantees death, engaging too deeply poses potential danger?
Suddenly, he regretted handing Xu Fan the invitation. This young man seed far more troubleso than imagined! And the depth behind him was unfathomable!
Even Xu Fan, the initial instigator, didn't anticipate his casual remarks would cause such a significant psychological impact on the black-robed old man.
"Mysterious Rank Battle Technique is quite weak indeed! If that's the case, then no more holding back!"
Activating the Dragon Divine Art Second Layer, it felt like chains within his body were being unlocked, terrifying energy instantly filled his body!
Simultaneously, invoking the Beast Taming Art Third Layer, an indescribably ancient, desolate aura arose, under the fearso Dragon Might, even the overpowering black-robed old man appeared insignificantly small at that mont.
"Fight!"
At this mont, Xu Fan's stature, not considered tall, resembled a demon god!
