“As the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot plan together!”
Monk Wudao smiled faintly, “Since I have made my choice, I will never retreat. I would like to see if you can reach the end and become a true member of the Divine Realm!”
“It’s a pity you won’t have that chance!”
The old man in green clothes smiled, his eyes becoming sharp as ice. He absolutely would not allow anyone to pose a threat to him, so everyone present must perish.
“I truly never expected things to reach this point!”
Wudao chuckled awkwardly, “Perhaps this is my destiny. It seems I can only stop at the end of the divine path!”
“You can’t say that. It’s not the critical moment yet, and no one knows who will have the last laugh!”
Lu Fan’s voice rang out as he arrived in front of Wudao. “Old monk, why be so pessimistic? You are a practitioner of Buddhism, how can you measure success or failure by gains and losses!”
Wudao was slightly stunned and looked towards Lu Fan. He suddenly felt that what Lu Fan said was profound and insightful. He then clasped his hands together, “I never expected that after studying Buddhism for so many years, I wouldn’t see things as clearly as you, young brother. It seems my study has indeed been insufficient!”
“I was just speaking casually, old monk, please don’t take it to heart!”
Lu Fan shrugged. “But speaking of which, it’s truly baffling how things have come to this point!”
“Why are you spouting so much nonsense, boy?”
The old man in green clothes spoke coldly, looking at Lu Fan. “If you leave this place now, perhaps I can spare your life. Otherwise, you die!”
“Oh really?”
Lu Fan smiled faintly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes. “What if I refuse? What will you do then?”
With these words, the old man in green’s gaze instantly sharpened. He had not expected Lu Fan to speak like this, and his words carried a hint of arrogance.
“Young man, you are no match for him. You should leave quickly!”
Monk Wudao advised Lu Fan. After all, he had reached this point. If Lu Fan, unaware of his own limitations, were to fight the old man in green, he would surely be defeated. At that time, the old man in green would certainly not let Lu Fan off easily.
“Old monk, you’re wrong again. I haven’t even made a move yet, how can you know I can’t defeat him!”
Lu Fan shrugged. “After all, this is the final competition. Who can step into the Divine Realm depends on their current ability. I won’t let such a good opportunity slip away!”
“With such a good opportunity, I fear you lack the good fortune!”
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a cold glint. The old man in green looked at Lu Fan with a chilling demeanor.
Lu Fan was unfazed by these words. He sneered, “How about we make a deal? It would be best if we could coexist peacefully. After all, there aren’t many people here now. Even if the gate to the Divine Realm opens, we won’t delay your affairs!”
“You talk too much. I never negotiate with ants!” the old man in green sneered. “Therefore, you are destined to die today. No one can save you!”
“Such arrogant words. I wonder if you have the ability to back them up!”
Lu Fan showed a faint smile, with a hint of coldness. He hadn’t paid much attention initially, but he hadn’t expected the old man in green to be so persistent, which stirred a surge of anger within him.
The old man in green, however, let out a cold laugh. A divine light surged from his palm and shot directly towards Lu Fan. In his eyes, Lu Fan was insignificant. If he were to attack forcefully, Lu Fan would have no chance of resisting.
However, facing all this, Lu Fan was unfazed. He smiled and said, “With just this bit of power, you think you can send me flying? You underestimate me too much!”
In that instant, the divine light from the old man in green instantly vanished into nothingness, as if it were utterly insignificant before Lu Fan.
Seeing this scene, the old man in green’s brow furrowed slightly. Although he had only made a casual move just now, it was not a move that an ordinary person could withstand. Lu Fan’s ability to block his attack was enough to show that Lu Fan’s strength was extraordinary, perhaps no weaker than anyone else present.
“He doesn’t seem like a master, yet he’s a hidden expert!”
The old man in green narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Fan with a chilling gaze.
“Senior, you flatter me. I am not a hidden expert!”
Lu Fan waved his hand. “However, senior, it won’t be so easy for you to kill me. So, my proposal is still valid!”
“Whether it’s valid or not depends on whether you can survive in my hands!”
The old man in green sneered and stepped towards Lu Fan again. However, this time his speed was incredibly fast, carrying the force of thunder. Lu Fan could block his attacks, but he might not be able to withstand his full power strike.
“My lord, be careful!”
Zhao Xiaotian worriedly exclaimed, his brow furrowed. Even he hadn’t expected the old man in green’s aura to be so formidable, making him feel a sense of unease.
“It’s alright. Even if he’s a demigod, he won’t be able to harm me in the slightest!”
Lu Fan smiled faintly, appearing calm and collected, as if it were nothing in his eyes.
At the same time, everyone clearly felt that the aura around Lu Fan was growing stronger and stronger. Moreover, this aura was incredibly potent, making people ponder.
“Who exactly is he? How does he have such powerful energy fluctuations? He doesn’t seem to have reached the highest level of cultivation!”
“That’s what I’m saying. But the aura around him is clearly unusual!”
Many people present muttered to themselves, extremely curious about Lu Fan’s aura. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t be like this.
Facing the chatter of the crowd, Lu Fan was unfazed. He unleashed his supreme aura and attacked the old man in green. The old man in green was a demigod-level expert, and even Lu Fan dared not act rashly. However, at this final juncture, he would not back down in the slightest.
“I knew my lord was hiding his strength. It seems I was right!”
Tian Long stood by the side, his eyes filled with solemnity, as if everything was under his control.
“Indeed!”
Zhao Xiaotian said with an embarrassed expression. In fact, even he hadn’t expected Lu Fan to hide his strength, and to hide it so deeply that he could contend with a demigod-level expert.
Monk Wudao stood by, stunned. Seeing Lu Fan withstand the old man in green’s attack without showing any signs of defeat, he was filled with excitement. Lu Fan, at such a young age, possessed such strength. He was truly an unparalleled prodigy, a rare existence in all the myriad realms.
In the brief moment of combat with Lu Fan, the old man in green retreated backward, his brow furrowed. Although he hadn’t truly unleashed his full power, he was quite wary.
