He had thought he could hold them back for a while.
Even if he couldn't defeat Chen Fan, he could at least delay the man in front of him, and then many things would naturally be worth it.
But he never expected that even with his utmost effort to stop the man before him.
The final result was still vastly different from what they had imagined.
Chen Fan, by himself, could effortlessly block all of his attacks, let alone easily deal with subsequent assaults at this moment.
The man did not give up.
The moment his weapon fell to the ground, he attacked again, his fist clenched, launching another strike.
And at this time, Chen Fan quickly understood his goal.
"Dong dong"
This punch landed on Chen Fan's chest. It should have left the man in front of him bruised and battered.
But at this moment, Chen Fan remained as calm as before.
He looked at the man before him serenely, then smiled and said, "I understand this is not easy for you, but... you are still not enough..."
His attack had failed.
At this moment, on Chen Fan's body, only a ripple like water waves appeared.
The man was completely unharmed.
He had been full of confidence about this matter, but the reality had turned out to be completely different from what he had envisioned.
The man looked at Chen Fan, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Chen Fan knocked the man unconscious with a single palm strike.
"How ungrateful. If that's the case, then I will tear off your hypocritical masks with my own hands and let everyone in this world know what kind of people you all are!" Chen Fan said this as he walked into the great hall.
Within this hall, he could feel immense energy fluctuations, as if the entire Kunlun Secret Realm had been stirred.
And the white-haired old man with closed eyes before him was someone Chen Fan had never seen before.
Although he didn't understand what was happening.
He could vaguely feel that everything here was closely connected to Su Yingxue.
Before the old man was a very strange bell, which was emitting a peculiar sound at this moment, sounding quite amusing.
Chen Fan was certain that all the energy was converging on this small bell, and at the same time, he could feel that the energy of the bell was terrifyingly potent.
With this realization, he instantly understood what was going on.
"You old scoundrel, you are seeking such a method! I cannot let you succeed today. Since you want to do this, I will ruin your plan!" Chen Fan said, and the Tian Cong Yun Sword in his hand swiftly descended.
The power of this sword was considerable.
An ordinary person could not withstand such an attack, and the old man before him, being completely immersed, would surely be unable to resist.
However, when Chen Fan's sword struck the bell, he found it to be completely ineffective. The bell merely emitted a crisp sound, and then some powerful force seemed to directly repel him.
Good heavens, could such a small bell possess such power?
Chen Fan glanced at his hands. In that instant of attack, he felt his tiger's mouth crack open, causing immense pain. This clearly indicated that the opponent's displayed ability at that moment was truly terrifying.
But to give up now was certainly out of the question.
The opponent's strength was undeniable, but Chen Fan would not be easily defeated like this.
"I admit that you guys are really powerful, far more powerful than some people I imagined, but if you think this is enough to make me give up, you are sorely mistaken!" Chen Fan sneered, knowing that it wouldn't be that simple.
But for his current self, he was still not qualified.
He didn't know what kind of protective energy the bell possessed, but as long as the power was strong enough, everything could be resolved.
Chen Fan attacked again.
This time, it was different from before; he had accumulated immense power.
And at this moment, he launched continuous attacks, striking again and again, attempting to completely shatter the bell before him.
Under this state of attack, it was unknown what awaited them next.
Initially, the bell showed no special signs.
Instead, it remained as calm as before.
But then, changes began to occur. As the frequency of attacks increased, Chen Fan's repeated strikes began to overwhelm the bell's ability to withstand such power.
He believed that it would not be long before it was completely defeated by this force.
They all thought of it this way.
As for whether this would ultimately happen, no one knew.
Chen Fan also didn't know what awaited him next.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, the golden hue on the bell completely vanished. Following that, a strange green color seeped out from the damaged seams of the bell.
It looked like corrosive energy, as if it would devour everything around it.
Chen Fan had a bad feeling about this.
But it was all over.
A massive surge of energy instantly erupted from the bell. The energy fluctuation generated at this moment almost surpassed that of a nuclear bomb.
Chen Fan could only stand his ground with all his might, but the violent energy impact almost sent him flying.
However, this was only for a moment. Soon, all the abnormal sounds vanished.
He looked at the bell before him, still unsure of what had just happened.
And the old man, who had been closing his eyes, slowly opened them.
Seeing Chen Fan, he sighed, "I am the ancestor of the Kunlun Secret Realm. This time, I had a very important mission, but it was ruined by you reckless brat!"
Looking at the expression on the ancestor's face, Chen Fan smiled and said, "I am Chen Fan. No matter who you are, my purpose for being here today has not changed. I intend to eliminate all the powerhouses of the Kunlun Secret Realm!"
Chen Fan said righteously, as if he had truly mastered such means.
He was unconcerned by the old man's resistance.
