Jiang Quan's blunt words naturally aroused the anger of the crowd once more.
Just as tensions were at their peak and a fight seed imminent, Xu Fan suddenly spoke, "I've heard that while the Church of Light acts modestly, its young generation of geniuses is nurous and even surpasses the Dark Council. I wonder if this is true or false?"
Both sides quieted suddenly, and then Matthew's group appeared insulted and spoke out indignantly.
"Does that even need asking? Of course, it's true! Commander Matthew's strength is far beyond any of your peers in the Dark Council!"
"A filthy Blood Slave dares to question the strength of our Church of Light?"
"Don't even ntion the Dark Council, across the entire Cultivation World, aside from Princess Avril, no one in the younger generation can rival Commander Matthew!"
Hearing the flattering words, Matthew was pleased but kept his eyes fixed on Xu Fan. Matthew couldn't quite understand why Xu Fan suddenly asked this question.
In fact, from start to finish today, Matthew couldn't figure out Xu Fan.
It's not that Matthew was inexperienced; it's just hard to imagine soone would risk worldwide condemnation by openly bringing a Blood Slave into the sacred Church of Light. This matter was already bizarre, and Matthew couldn't wrap his head around it no matter how hard he tried.
As for what happened later, it was all based on this matter, leaving Matthew even more baffled.
To be in the Church of Light and speak arrogantly, even demanding the Pope apologize to his friend—such madness! This kind of audacity is unheard of for thousands of years!
Based on Xu Fan's behavior, he should be an incredibly terrifying figure, yet he looks so young, even younger than Matthew. What's more bizarre is, such a figure is opposing the Church of Light just because of a re Blood Slave.
Moreover, if Xu Fan is indeed a big shot, he could simply reveal his terrifying power to alarm a person on the Archbishop level, and everything would be settled without troubling Matthew. Yet Xu Fan remained calm and composed, observing coldly, an attitude that left Matthew bewildered.
Now, Xu Fan smiled lightly and made a proposal that confused Matthew even more, "Since your Commander Matthew is such a genius, that's easy. My friend here is a Blood Slave, about the sa age as your Commander Matthew, but he is lowly and weak."
"Why not have the two of them duel? If you win, the two of us will surrender without resistance. If you lose, everyone present must apologize to my friend and slap themselves a hundred tis."
"What do you think of this proposal?"
The proposal itself? Matthew was completely stunned!
Bringing a Blood Slave into the Church of Light is one thing, but now proposing such a duel? Forcing a commander of the Church of Light to fight a Blood Slave? And if lost, the two will surrender?
If Matthew hadn't had so sense left, he would have thought Xu Fan had gone mad!
Strong people often like to control their fate, yet Xu Fan is betting his fate on soone else, especially a re Blood Slave! Is there anything more incredible than this in the world?
Of course, Xu Fan hadn't gone mad, nor was he betting his fate on others. At Xu Fan's level, there were a hundred ways to let Jiang Quan easily defeat Matthew without anyone noticing.
Moreover, the reason Xu Fan's actions seed incomprehensible to Matthew was that Xu Fan did not want to completely sever ties with the Church of Light.
After all, Xia Xiaodie and others were still guests within the Church of Light; if he completely severed ties, it would be difficult for them to stay.
Besides, Adam or Matthew do not represent the entire Church of Light. If soone harms Jiang Quan, Xu Fan would make them pay.
"Outrageous! A re Blood Slave wants to duel our Commander Matthew? This is an insult to our Church of Light!"
"This Blood Slave is indeed cunning! Facing death, he tries to distract us by using his companion as bait, giving himself a chance to escape!"
The crowd clamored, while Matthew hesitated.
There must be sothing unusual! Matthew couldn't figure out Xu Fan's intentions, so he dared not rashly accept the challenge.
Seeing Matthew's hesitation, Adam, kneeling on the ground, felt anxious and worried that if they delayed until Archbishop Dora arrived, he loudly shouted to Matthew, "Commander Matthew! This person is only in the Zhiwei Realm! At most, he is at the commander's level, and his companion is even inferior, absolutely no match for you!"
Only the early Zhiwei Realm?
Matthew didn't believe it for a second!
How could soone in the early Zhiwei Realm have such confidence? How could they dare bring a Blood Slave to the Church of Light and even be disrespectful to the Pope?
Bang!
Xu Fan struck with one palm. Adam scread and died instantly. With a cold, indifferent gaze, Xu Fan swept his eyes over everyone present, "If you do not accept my proposal, then I will have to slaughter you all."
Everything has a limit. Adam, with his insignificant power, repeatedly challenged Xu Fan's limits, leaving Xu Fan no choice but to grant him death.
rcy is useless for those who do not understand what rcy is.
Hiss!
In an instant, the noisy hall beca silent. Everyone was frightened by Xu Fan's sudden act of assassination.
The Church of Light had been peaceful for too long and hadn't seen blood for ages. A colleague's death in front of their eyes naturally had a huge impact on everyone, and as they looked at Xu Fan's indifferent gaze, their hearts trembled, no longer daring to underestimate Xu Fan.
"Who is Matthew? Get up here and et your death!"
Jiang Quan had long been displeased with this group. Ignoring the weapons held by others, he took a step forward, full of montum.
Even though Jiang Quan understood that he was just a Blood Slave, not good at fighting, and only in the early stage of the Zhiwei Realm, he did not hesitate against the strong and unknown Matthew.
Because this battle was for Mr. Xu! It was also for Jiang Quan himself!
This was Jiang Quan's first ti using his own fists to defend his dignity, and he felt a thrilling excitent in his bones!
"Since you're seeking death, I will grant it!"
Matthew roared in anger, finally unable to hold back, and strode toward Jiang Quan.
Matthew was at the peak of the Zhiwei Realm. Although he couldn't see through Xu Fan's strength, he sensed from Jiang Quan's released aura that his strength was only at the early stage of the Zhiwei Realm.
With a gap of three minor realms, what did Matthew have to fear?
Moreover, Xu Fan had killed Adam, forcing Matthew into a corner; either he would fight both Xu Fan and Jiang Quan, or he would honestly accept Jiang Quan's challenge.
With great fear of Xu Fan, Matthew naturally chose the safer latter option, but...
With a lead of three minor realms, can Matthew really be certain of his victory?
If it were outside, Matthew would be sure of victory, but today, with Xu Fan standing leisurely aside, hands behind his back...
