Chapter 545: Life-and-Death Battle

Xiao Fan shook his head. "I don't bully children."

From start to finish, Xiao Fan hadn't thought much of this kid named Yun Bao. His strength was only at the Xuandan Realm; in Wuhuang Province, he would certainly be a Prodigy-level Genius.

But before him, it wasn't enough to impress him. Moreover, the opponent had no brains, and he didn't like hitting fools!

"You… you've insulted me again!" Yun Bao was furious. He was twenty-six years old, still a young man.

Furthermore, the Xiao Fan across from him looked even younger than he was, yet he actually called him a child?

Then, didn't the meaning behind the other party's words imply he was an elder?

Everyone in the hall knew there would definitely be a spectacle to watch soon.

These were all Prodigy geniuses of the younger generation in Linze City. Their families had frictions with one another; they were more than happy to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Fan Chang was also dazed; things were developing a bit too quickly.

"I want a Life-and-Death Battle with you! I'm going to kill you!!" Yun Bao was brimming with Killing Intent, his Aura climbing steadily…

By the look of it, he intended to eat Xiao Fan alive.

Xiao Fan shook his head and prepared to turn and leave. He was afraid people would laugh at him for hitting a fool…

"You… are you afraid?!" Yun Bao spoke provocatively. "If you're afraid, then kneel and kowtow to me, beg for my forgiveness, and I might consider letting you go!"

Yun Bao believed that Xiao Fan must be afraid and had chickened out.

After all, he, Yun Bao, was a Prodigy capable of challenging those above his level, able to fight a first-layer Yuanhun Realm expert!

In fact, it wasn't just Yun Bao who thought so. Xiao Fan's action of turning to leave just now was seen by everyone in the hall as the young man chickening out!

However, no one said a word. After all, Xiao Fan's strength was at the Xuandan Realm Great Perfection, stronger than most people present.

Xiao Fan paused his steps. He turned back and looked coldly at Yun Bao. "Are you sure you want to seek death?"

"You!" Yun Bao said angrily. "Kid, you're dead today. I, Yun Bao, will definitely slaughter you today!"

Yun Bao was extremely furious.

Fan Chang thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to lower yourself to his level!"

Xiao Fan glanced at Fan Chang and nodded slightly without saying anything. He turned his gaze to Yun Bao. "A Life-and-Death Battle? Fine."

Xiao Fan agreed!

Fan Chang was stunned. He had just run over to say a few words to this young man, yet Yun Bao had come over, said a few things, and now wanted a Life-and-Death Battle?

Things were developing so fast that everyone in the hall was caught off guard!

Starting a fight just like that?!

"Kid, I'll make you regret coming into this world!" Yun Bao said coldly, his Killing Intent awe-inspiring.

He didn't realize that he had clearly escaped the brink of death, yet he insisted on jumping back in!

"Enough nonsense." Xiao Fan shook his head. He had already given the other party a chance, but the other party was useless.

Everyone around became interested…

Yun Bao led the way, taking Xiao Fan to the City Lord Manor's Arena.

On the Arena, Xiao Fan looked around with some sentimentality. The last time he was on an Arena was during his battle with Xiao Tian!

And now, the Xiao Family had been exterminated.

Xiao Fan looked at the bluestone slabs on the Arena floor; they were sturdier than most Materials in Wuhuang Province.

As expected of another great province, Xiao Fan muttered to himself. No nervousness or fear could be seen on his face.

One must know that in a Life-and-Death Battle against an opponent of the same rank, especially when the opponent is a Prodigy capable of challenging those above their level, anyone would inevitably feel nervous.

Yet, none of these emotions could be felt from Xiao Fan at all.

"Kid, sign the Life-and-Death Waiver!" Yun Bao shouted angrily. He had already signed it and threw the Life-and-Death Waiver's Jade Slip to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan caught the Jade Slip and, without hesitation, engraved his Divine Soul Mark upon it.

Everyone around knew that a good show was about to begin!

"What do you think this guy's background is?"

"Not sure. He's probably the person who entered the city a few days ago."

"He's strong, but can he be a match for Yun Bao…"

"…"

Discussions continued all around, everyone curious about Xiao Fan's identity.

Similarly, no one from the City Lord Manor came forward to stop it; even City Lord Du Ling did not appear.

"Kid, in your next life, don't provoke people you shouldn't offend!" Yun Bao roared. His muscles swelled, filled with Spiritual Power and strength. Instantly, a terrifying Qi wave formed around him, surging in all directions!

The onlookers' gazes tightened; the power Yun Bao was now displaying had already reached the Yuanhun Realm!

"He's gotten stronger again!" Fan Chang was startled. He and Yun Bao were archenemies, so he naturally understood the other's strength.

He hadn't expected Yun Bao to become even stronger than before, reaching the level of the Yuanhun Realm!

"Ah!" Yun Bao let out a furious roar. Like a bolt of lightning, he reached Xiao Fan in an instant, his right hand carrying a terrifying pressure as it smashed toward the top of Xiao Fan's head!

The power of this strike had already surpassed the limits of the Xuandan Realm and reached the Yuanhun Realm!

Xiao Fan didn't move, nor did he dodge. He watched Yun Bao's move with a calm gaze.

Everyone around thought that Xiao Fan was definitely dead!

In the next moment, he might be smashed into meat paste.

However…

Yun Bao's punch stopped three inches above Xiao Fan's head.

"Huh?!" Yun Bao was stunned!

Xiao Fan's right hand had moved at some unknown point, catching him with a single hand!

"You!" Yun Bao was shocked and tried to pull his arm back with force. He hadn't even seen how the other party had moved just now.

But the strength coming from the other's palm was too great, making it impossible for him to pull his arm back.

Strength—absolute suppression of strength.

"It's my turn."
