“Isn’t he the one you were talking about?”
Xiao Yufan’s sudden appearance stirred a massive commotion. If his identity as the inheritor of the Yu Long Sect wasn’t shocking enough, the power he now displayed was more than enough to leave everyone in awe.
Gongsun Wu noticed Xiao Yufan and a flicker of surprise flashed across her eyes before she slightly turned her head to ask Li Hun.
“Yes!”
Li Hun forced out the single word through clenched teeth. His mouth twitched violently. This guy had actually become even stronger. Before entering this mysterious realm, he still had the chance to stand against Xiao Yufan, but now, under the latter’s oppressive aura, he felt utterly powerless.
Was he still going to provoke Xiao Yufan? At this point, he no longer had the courage.
“He’s reached the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm. He’s even better than I imagined. I’m afraid he’s the undisputed top among the younger generation!” Gongsun Wu murmured softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration as she gave the most accurate evaluation.
This time, Li Hun was completely deflated. What was he thinking? He understood clearly the huge gap between the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm and merely stepping into it—it was a difference so vast he could only look up in awe.
Besides Li Hun, Nuotiangong and the others from Jiugong Hall also fell into shock.
They were told this guy was at most at the peak of the Innate Realm. But the peak of the Spirit Communication Realm—how could that be compared to the peak of the Innate Realm at all?
Nuotiangong had invested heavily to deal with Xiao Yufan. He had not only invited many forces from the Guardian Temple, but had even managed to win over two of the top ten temple factions. However, at the moment Xiao Yufan appeared, except for those from Jiugong Hall, everyone else deliberately distanced themselves from him.
“These people really are as pragmatic as they come!”
Nuotiangong sneered coldly, grinding his teeth in frustration. Why had this guy suddenly become so strong? He had been so confident before, but now, it seemed he had absolutely no hope at all.
“He’s very strong. If you still insist on treating him as your rival, you’ll end up dying tragically.”
Beside Nuotiangong, a man said indifferently. He was the undisputed number one in Jiugong Hall. Though his cultivation was only at the Half-Step Spirit Communication Realm, even experts who had entered the Spirit Communication Realm couldn’t gain any advantage against him.
The murderous intent in Nuotiangong’s eyes gradually faded. Upon hearing the man’s words, he realized his back was already soaked in cold sweat. At this moment, did he even have the qualification to be Xiao Yufan’s opponent?
Of course, there were also those who secretly felt relieved at Xiao Yufan’s appearance—Yan Zheng and Ning Mo among them.
As soon as Xiao Yufan emerged from his retreat, his gaze locked onto Guo Chen. He hadn’t expected that within just a few days, this guy who had once caused him considerable trouble would rise so quickly. Middle stage of the Spirit Communication Realm? Frankly speaking, even that advancement surprised him a little.
However, the middle stage of the Spirit Communication Realm—what real threat could that pose?
Guo Chen and Ning Qian were arguably the two strongest people present, and they felt Xiao Yufan’s aura most acutely. Compared to Guo Chen, however, Ning Qian’s expression was much more relaxed. If Xiao Yufan hadn’t appeared, he probably would have been defeated just now.
“If I’m not mistaken, this must be Xiao Brother. After all, only one person has truly stood out in this entire mysterious place!”
Ning Qian slightly bowed with a smile on his face. Guo Chen’s pressure had been overwhelming, and now that he had relaxed, a chill of fear crept up his spine. Earlier, Guo Chen had already shown intent to kill.
“Brother flatters me. I have some unfinished business with this person. Would you mind if I took over from here?” Xiao Yufan nodded slightly, speaking with a faintly teasing tone.
“Of course!”
Ning Qian understood that Xiao Yufan was intentionally helping him out. He felt grateful but didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he let out a hearty laugh and stepped away from the bloody mist.
Only two figures remained in midair, drawing even more intense gazes from everyone.
“You really have great luck, managing to perfectly inherit the Yu Long Sect’s legacy!”
The blood mist around Guo Chen dissipated slightly, revealing a somewhat grotesque profile. He had endured so much pain just to barely reach the middle stage of the Spirit Communication Realm. Why had Xiao Yufan advanced so quickly? He couldn’t accept it.
“Good fortune is also part of strength. Do you really think your talent alone could bring you to this level?” Xiao Yufan mocked.
Guo Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, without the blood蛊 inside him, he was nothing. As arrogant as he was, he had never imagined reaching this level.
But all of this—Guo Chen believed—was what he deserved.
“Finished showing off? Last time you slipped away, but will you be so lucky this time?” Seeing Guo Chen remain silent, Xiao Yufan raised his brow and continued.
“If I want to leave, no one can stop me—not even you!”
Oppressed by Xiao Yufan’s aura, Guo Chen’s expression turned extremely grim. The moment Xiao Yufan appeared, he had already considered retreating. But the latter’s aura locked onto him tightly, leaving him no chance to escape.
With his middle-stage Spirit Communication Realm cultivation, he truly couldn’t defeat Xiao Yufan. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t escape!
“Then by all means, try!”
Xiao Yufan shrugged with an indifferent expression. He really doubted whether this guy could escape from him…
“Hmph!”
A cold snort caused the blood mist to ripple. To everyone’s disbelief, the blood shadow’s speed suddenly surged. Guo Chen was actually trying to flee?
