Chapter 5717: Overestimating Oneself

Xiao Fan felt a strong killing intent toward this Qu Muchen.

Even if the other party was a Disciple of the Yuxu Sect, Xiao Fan still wanted to kill him.

Xiao Fan could understand if the other party was cunning, unscrupulous, or greedy for the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's Dao Fruit.

But treating him like a fool was something Xiao Fan could not tolerate.

How foolish would he have to be to hand over the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix Dao Fruit, which he had obtained with great difficulty, to people like Qu Muchen for safekeeping?!

The other party was insulting his intelligence!!

Xiao Fan stared at Qu Muchen with an unfriendly expression, a strong bloodlust in his eyes.

Being stared at by Xiao Fan, Qu Muchen felt uneasy all over.

"Elder… Elder Xiao, why are you looking at me like that? Every word I said came from the bottom of my heart!" Qu Muchen unconsciously took two steps back, his voice weakening.

"Hehehe… Why look at you like that? Don't you understand?" Xiao Fan sneered. "Because you're so clever! To think of such a great idea as keeping the Dao Fruit safe for me!"

"This… isn't this how it should be? We're all members of the Yuxu Sect! We should help each other!" Qu Muchen said weakly.

"Hahaha… Help each other? Good, good, good! Truly wonderful! What a 'helping each other'!" Xiao Fan laughed coldly.

Hearing Xiao Fan's laughter, the Disciples of the Yuxu Sect shuddered.

"Elder Xiao! What… what do you want to do?" After a moment's hesitation, Qu Muchen asked.

"What do I want? I don't want anything… I just want to see what your end will be," Xiao Fan spoke indifferently.

"Our end?!"

Upon hearing this, all the Yuxu Sect Disciples, including Qu Muchen, were stunned, not understanding what Xiao Fan meant.

Just then, Qu Muchen and the others felt an indescribable heat. Their mouths went dry instantly, and the Essence Blood in their bodies felt as if it were being evaporated.

"This… this is…" Qu Muchen's body swayed, a look of disbelief on his face.

The expressions of the Yuxu Sect Disciples changed drastically as they felt an unimaginable fear.

"Is… is it the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix?!"

"Such a powerful aura! It must be the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix!"

"Heavens! The Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix is here! Let's run, quick!"

"…"

The Yuxu Sect Disciples wanted to flee, but under the suppression of absolute power, they didn't even have the strength to run.

Xiao Fan folded his arms, a faint smile on his face as he scanned Qu Muchen and the others.

"Do you know what it means to overestimate yourselves?!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, finally understanding the meaning behind Xiao Fan's words.

"You… you're waiting for the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix to arrive! You want to use its hand to kill us?!" Qu Muchen looked at Xiao Fan in shock and disbelief.

"Hehehe… Weren't you also thinking the same? To trick me out of the Dao Fruit and then let the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix kill me?" Xiao Fan said with a half-smile.

Both sides understood each other perfectly, but the difference was that Xiao Fan was stronger and held the initiative.

Xiao Fan could escape from the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix, but whether Qu Muchen and the other Yuxu Sect Disciples could escape depended entirely on fate and the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix's mood.

"You… Xiao Fan! You are an Elder of our Yuxu Sect! Do you want to plot the deaths of the Sect's Disciples?!" Qu Muchen exclaimed in disbelief.

"Plotting your deaths? Hahaha… I'm doing exactly that! What can you do about it?!" Xiao Fan laughed loudly.

Hearing this, the Yuxu Sect Disciples were furious and couldn't help but denounce Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan! We came here out of the goodness of our hearts to help you, and yet you… you actually want the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix to kill us!"

"Xiao Fan! You… if you do this, aren't you afraid the Sect will find out?!"

"Xiao Fan! You are unworthy of being an Elder of our Yuxu Sect! Unworthy!"

"…"

"Hehehe… Say whatever you want." Xiao Fan shrugged and looked into the distance, seeing the figure of the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix.

As the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix approached, the bodies of Qu Muchen and the others gradually withered, unable to withstand the pressure of the Phoenix's rage.

"Xiao Fan!!" the Nine Heavens Fire Phoenix roared, staring fixedly at Xiao Fan.

"Hehehe… Alright, I'm leaving. You're on your own." Xiao Fan scanned Qu Muchen and the others, speaking indifferently. "Remember! Don't treat others like fools! Otherwise, you'll be the ones to suffer! Of course… that's assuming you survive!"

With that, Xiao Fan's figure vanished. Using the Power of Samsara, he escaped once again.

Xiao Fan left, leaving Qu Muchen and the others completely dumbfounded.
