Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Behaving Toughly_1
“That’s right.” Xu Fan was not clear whether the newcor was friend or foe, and thus his attitude was neither good nor bad, just indifferent.
“Young friend, you’re quite impressive.”
When Nan Bowan saw Xu Fan and the beautiful woman he was holding, he quickly realized Xu Fan had successfully rescued Xu Yixue and breathed a sigh of relief. However, his expression remained far from relaxed, instead turning rather solemn, “Protector Xu, Minister Qian has brought people and they’ll be here any mont. You should go et them first, get as far away as you can, I’ll hold off these two old fools.”
His strength was originally comparable to that of the Qiankun Twin Swords, and he could have taken on either one of them in a 1v1 fight, plus he had broken through after a period of seclusion, so facing either one alone would not be a problem, and he could even confidently gain the upper hand.
But now, the Qiankun Twin Swords were here together, and their combined attack was extrely formidable. It’s not just they who could take him alone; they could handle three or four Nan Bowans simultaneously without breaking a sweat.
Knowing full well that he was no match for the Qiankun Twin Swords, he still wanted to buy ti for Xu Fan to make a quick escape.
...
Such selfless sacrifice moved Xu Fan sowhat.
“Heh heh… Nan Bowan, have you gone senile?” Qian Sword let out a sinister laugh and mocked, “You alone thinking of covering the rear? As if my brother and I are pushovers. Utterly arrogant!”
“Nan Bowan, it seems you still don’t understand the situation at hand. You’re going to die anyway, and yet you wish to save others? How noble of you. It’s just a sha that this day next year will be the anniversary of your death,” Kun Sword also said chillingly.
“Is that so? Then let this old man see what you’ve got.”
With a cold snort, Nan Bowan looked around disdainfully, his aura surging tumultuously as he waved his hand, drawing in the Ice Elent from the surrounding environnt into the palm of his hand, causing a loud “crackling” noise.
In a flash, a sharp ice crystal longsword ford in his hand, spreading an intense coldness all around as the chill threatened to penetrate to the bone.
“The Frost Sword again? Can’t you co up with sothing new? It seems you’re still treading water,” Qian Sword taunted.
“Big talk for soone who might twist his tongue in the wind. Care to try it out?”
Nan Bowan’s face was grim as he waved his longsword, releasing a blast of frost Sword Qi that headed straight for the top of Qian Sword’s head.
The Sword Qi was like a rainbow, turning the air it passed through into ice and frost.
Qian Sword did not even bother to raise his eyelids, simply sitting upright. He lifted his hand slightly and exhaled a beam of crimson-purple radiance from his palm.
“Bang!”
Upon contact, the two forces erupted with a clanging boom, scattering a bright radiance all over the night sky as if it were daylight.
Once the radiance faded, the outco of their clash seed evenly matched.
However, since Nan Bowan was on the offensive, taking the initiative, while Qian Sword had casually blocked his sword strike, the advantage seed to still be slightly in Qian Sword’s favor.
“Hmph, again!”
Nan Bowan, apparently unwilling to admit defeat and getting worked up, angled his longsword downwards, ready to charge forward.
“Uncle Nan.”
At the sound, Nan Bowan turned his head, only to see Xu Fan still had not evacuated and imdiately beca anxious, shouting, “Protector Xu, leave this place quickly, or soon there will be no chance.”
His tone was stern but concerned for Xu Fan’s well-being.
“Uncle Nan!”
“Old Nan!”
At this mont, Qian Zongsheng and his group of five also arrived, gathering nearby.
Seeing the situation on the field, the five of them instantly beca alert, watching the opposition warily, ready for battle.
Nan Bowan glanced at the group and said with a stern face, “They are the Qiankun Twin Swords, you’re no match for them. Take Protector Xu and leave quickly, I will cover the rear.”
“Okay.” The four grandmaster experts brought from the headquarters all responded in unison and then swooped toward Xu Fan.
However, Qian Zongsheng hesitated, staying where he was. He was very aware that the opposing top combat power exceeded their own and feared that Nan Bowan would not be able to withstand it, wanting to lend a helping hand.
But to his surprise, Xu Fan decisively declined, “Uncle Nan, since everyone is here to help , how could I shrink back when it matters most?”
“Young man, you’re right, but it all depends on the situation,”
Nan Bowan advised earnestly, “With your talent, I believe it will take only a few years for you to beco a Martial King, and then you can barely handle the current situation. But for now, it’s better to keep a low profile and preserve your strength, rather than losing your life and wealth due to recklessness.”
“Thank you for the advice!”
Xu Fan stopped arguing. Since the other side did not understand him, he would prove himself with actions. He turned his head to Qian Zongsheng and said, “Minister Qian, please take care of Yixue; I’ve decided to make a move.”
After saying this, he smiled cheerfully, his face the very picture of ease, as if the upcoming battle was rely a simple matter for him.
Qian Zongsheng nodded calmly and flew over, saying gravely, “Okay, I will take good care of her.”
With no worries left behind, Xu Fan told Xu Yixue to “rest assured” and then stepped forward, his gaze landing on the Qiankun Twin Swords.
“Xu protector, how can you…”
Nan Bowan was infuriated by Xu Fan’s disregard for advice and began to shout, but his sentence was abruptly cut off, and he forgot how to close his gaping mouth.
Xu Fan, with a whoosh, flew out, leaving behind a trail of afterimages along the way.
The crackling sound of sonic booms spread out all around like ignited firecrackers, reaching everyone’s ears.
The strong wind generated sonic booms, which also possessed trendous destructive power, kicking up dust and debris everywhere it passed.
On witnessing this, Qian Sword’s pupils suddenly contracted.
When facing Nan Bowan’s Frost Sword Qi, he was nonchalant, handling it with ease.
But Xu Fan’s terrifying speed and impressive montum imdiately drew his full attention. He circulated the True Qi within his body, preparing to strike.
He also glanced subtly at Kun Sword, their high level of tacit understanding allowing the latter to instantly comprehend Qian Sword’s intent.
Imdiately, Qian Sword stretched out his withered right hand, raising it in front of his chest, where the reddish glow on his wristwatch circulated with restrained might, and he slapped outward.
By that ti, Xu Fan was already close, unleashing a punch with a terrifying aura.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the place of energy collision trembled the void itself.
The ferocious shockwave spread rapidly around, and Xu Fan burst out from the energy’s radiance, coming to a stop with a more solemn expression on his face.
In this exchange, he more so aid to test the opponent’s strength, and the result was Qian Sword was stronger than he had anticipated.
Originally, Xu Fan thought that after cultivating the Chaos Genesis Technique and acquiring the Chaos Heaven-Opening Body, even relying on pure physical strength, he would be able to split mountains and shatter rocks.
But that elder opposite him had caught his punch head-on and remained unhard, which was quite astounding.
Upon reflection, he quickly understood what was going on.
The attack from the opponent just now seed to mix two streams of True Qi, indiscernible unless one looked carefully.
Two streams of True Qi… Xu Fan raised his eyes to look at Kun Sword in another direction, a slight smile curving at his lips.
It turned out to be a combined attack technique, quite profound indeed, having transcended re synchronized movents to reach a state where True Qi resonated and rged into one.
