Seeing the terrifying aura within Xu Fan rise once more, it was clear that the young man before her had no intention of showing rcy. He was about to thrust his lance again, and Luo Bing, overwheld by grief and anger, hastily called out, "Wait!"
Xu Fan displayed a curious expression, with a faint, inexplicable smile on his face, as he gracefully asked, "What is it, Fairy Luo?"
As he spoke, he did not pause his gathering montum, and the terrifying aura emanating from the Star Shatter Lance grew ever stronger.
Outrage and grief flooded Luo Bing's eyes. If you're going to pretend to be a gentleman, do it properly—how can you ask soone what's wrong while brandishing a spear? If I say nothing, will you just stab ?
If this were the Upper Realm, encountering such a brat, I would make sure to pierce countless holes into him without a second thought!
Luo Bing was furious, but under the eaves, she had no choice but to lower her head. She put on an indifferent expression, as if she didn't care. "Xu Fan, I rember your na, but I'm curious about one thing. That lance strike just now was incredibly powerful. Even if your defense is strong, you couldn't possibly be unhard, right?"
Luo Bing felt heartbroken and had given up on a mutual destruction with Xu Fan, and this was a major reason.
In that exchange, her Immortal Monarch-level defense suffered heavy damage, yet the young Mysterious Light Realm boy before her appeared increasingly elegant! Not even his hairstyle was disrupted!
Even though Luo Bing considered herself knowledgeable, for a mont, she couldn't fathom the young man before her.
eting Luo Bing's inquisitive gaze, Xu Fan responded with a calm smile, "It's an honor to clear up any confusion for you, Fairy Luo, but we are opponents right now. It's better to discuss certain matters after the battle is over."
Just kidding, do you think I'd tell you that my real body is hurt more than you? Do you think I'd reveal that this is just a clone that's been lying in wait here to scare you?
You enjoy being high and mighty, don't you? You like keeping your distance? You planned so hard to co to the Lower Realm to kill . If I wasn't unsure of winning, I would've already dealt with you!
In the prior confrontation, Xu Fan did not gain much of an advantage. Luo Bing, although an Immortal from the Upper Realm, had her power significantly restricted after descending to the Lower Realm, but her defense remained formidable, and her final counterattack was astonishing!
Therefore, Xu Fan made a swift decision, imdiately activating Plan B. While Luo Bing was fully on the defensive, his main body concealed its aura to go heal, while his long-prepared clone erged from the sea to wield the Star Shatter Lance.
Had Luo Bing carefully observed, perhaps she could have detected so discrepancies. Although the clone and the main body had similar auras, there were subtle differences.
But at this mont, Luo Bing, already grievously injured by Xu Fan's previous strike, was now further threatened by the poised Star Shatter Lance, leaving her no ti to discern the nuances in Xu Fan's presence.
Enraged and gritting her teeth, Luo Bing was filled with grief, yet she was also convinced that Xu Fan was indeed a remarkable anomaly.
Who would dare to threaten the Upper Realm if not a prodigy?
Who could gain the favor of Li Long's group of exceptionally powerful beings if not a genius?
Who could unleash such a terrifying strike at the Mysterious Light Realm, and still appear calm and collected if not an abnormality?
At this mont, Luo Bing felt more regret than shock.
Initially, she should have discerned that this young man was an anomaly, but while everyone else was cautious, she chose disbelief and ca down for a contest of wits and courage with him.
Now, neither wits nor courage prevailed; she was roundly beaten and even faced the danger of falling. Luo Bing finally accepted that Xu Fan was indeed extraordinary, but… why make such a struggle?
As the force of the Star Shatter Lance beca increasingly terrifying, Luo Bing's eye twitched. Although the Immortal Monarch's defense was formidable, no one would willingly use their body to test another's Immortal Artifact's sharpness, especially not soone as aloof and cold as Luo Bing.
However, since Luo Bing had the wisdom to use Luo the Superior Immortal to probe, and had nurtured Yunzhi for her own purposes before taking action, she was far from simple-minded. In an instant, she had already devised a retreat plan.
"Xu Fan, don't misunderstand. My conflict with you just now was only because I was eager to see your true power, that's all. In fact, I arrived three days before you broke through the Mysterious Light Realm."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Fan feigned curiosity, his casual remark nearly causing Luo Bing to vomit blood from anger. "Since Fairy Luo wants to see my abilities, I'll fulfill your wish. That last strike wasn't my full strength. Fairy Luo, why don't you see how powerful this strike is..."
"No, no need... that strike of yours was already very strong..." Luo Bing, flustered, nearly collapsed from rage.
You, a re Mysterious Light Realm individual, even if a prodigy, you truly think you're invincible? If this were the Upper Realm, without restrictions, I could crush you with one hand!
Negotiation was not Luo Bing's forte, but as an Immortal Monarch, she naturally knew how to speak wisely.
Right now, she took a deep breath, suppressed her inner humiliation, and with an unruffled expression as if she hadn't seen the dazzling sharpness of the Star Shatter Lance in Xu Fan's hand, she said, "Xu Fan, let's not beat around the bush. I admit you have so skills and are not weak, but do you truly think the Upper Realm immortals are all fools?"
Her words imdiately held the scene in check.
Luo Bing casually locked her sharp gaze on Xu Fan. "If I'm not mistaken, Li Long and the others haven't fully recovered their strength, have they? If those ones had regained their might, do you think they wouldn't have stord the Upper Realm already? Why would they hide here, awaiting so millennium opportunity?"
"Just one Immortal Emperor, no, even a few Immortal Venerables attacking with full force can seal the verdict! In the Upper Realm, many know this but are simply unwilling to risk trying!"
"The millennium opportunity hasn't arrived yet, the channel to the gods and demons hasn't opened, the Upper Realm will not move on Li Long and his group because there's not enough profit to gain. But that doesn't an they won't target you, Xu Fan!"
"No matter how formidable Li Long is, he can't enter the gods and demons channel, he can't obtain a Divine Artifact, and without resources for recovery, he poses no threat to the Upper Realm's interests. You, Xu Fan, represent Li Long and have limitless potential, growing rapidly... think about it, once the millennium opportunity arises, how many paths to survival will remain for you?"
After she finished, Xu Fan's face remained unchanged, but the slight changes in his expression allowed Luo Bing to see through Xu Fan's heart.
There's hope!
Her words were not re exaggerations; Xu Fan's situation was indeed that dire! Do not be fooled by his prosperity in the Lower Realm, where none dare cross him, for in the eyes of the Upper Realm, he was a re ant, insignificant!
Luo Bing believed Xu Fan was a smart man. Being smart, he naturally couldn't ignore these realities, which beca Luo Bing's ultimate bargaining chip!
Xu Fan may have Li Long backing him, and if he really pushed the issue, it could lead to mutual destruction between them and her, Luo Bing, but ultimately, Xu Fan would gain nothing!
The only way forward was for him to obediently submit to her, offering the information she desired, and both would find so semblance of contentnt, giving Xu Fan even a slim chance of survival.
