Chapter 675: Two Factions Step Forward to Suppress Elder Mao Tai

By defending with all his might, Xiao Fan managed to block this lethal strike from Elder Mao Tai!

Xiao Fan was now at the Great Perfection of the fifth level of the Yuanhun Realm, and by unleashing his full power, he could exert strength reaching the Yuding Realm!

"What? He's actually unharmed!" an Elder from a major Sect exclaimed.

The Elders and clan Elders from other major factions all turned their gazes toward Xiao Fan; Elder Mao Tai's sudden attack had been so swift that they hadn't had time to react.

Afterward, they had all assumed Xiao Fan would surely die, focusing their attention on their own Geniuses injured by the shockwaves. Yet, who could have imagined that this youth, attacked in anger by the Yuding Realm powerhouse Elder Mao Tai, had not died!

Elder Mao Tai was also stunned, his face filled with disbelief. As someone with the cultivation of the eighth level of the Yuding Realm, he knew better than anyone how much power he had unleashed just now. How could a weakling at the fifth level of the Yuanhun Realm possibly survive?

Liu Tianyun's gaze also shifted over; he was equally astonished. Facing an angry strike from a Yuding Realm eighth-level powerhouse, this Xiao Fan had actually survived!

The thick fog from the explosion gradually dispersed, revealing Xiao Fan's figure. He stood firmly in place, blood dripping continuously from his right hand, and his white robe was tattered, yet his expression held no fear as he coldly stared at Elder Mao Tai.

Behind Xiao Fan stood the terrified Wei Zhongshan, who had originally thought he was a dead man, but then…

"Damn, he's still okay… he's so strong!!"

"Just how much of a Prodigy is he? He's only at the fifth level of the Yuanhun Realm, yet he can withstand a strike from a Yuding Realm powerhouse?!"

"Could it be that Senior Elder Mao Tai showed mercy and didn't intend to kill him?!"

"…"

Many young Geniuses nearby exclaimed in shock, and the murmurs began to spread…

Their Realm was insufficient, and their vision was limited, so they couldn't discern how much power Elder Mao Tai had actually unleashed in that strike just now!

However, judging by the fact that the shockwaves alone were enough to kill over a hundred Geniuses, it was clear that Elder Mao Tai had held nothing back!

The Elders and clan Elders of the major factions saw it clearly.

That angry strike from Elder Mao Tai just now was definitely his full power, with nothing held back!

Yet, this Xiao Fan was completely unharmed!

Yin Wushuang's mouth hung open, his face filled with disbelief.

Liu Yi, Liu Liyue, Jing Hu, and the others were the same; this Xiao Fan was too much of a Prodigy!

After entering the Divine Palace, Hou Wanli had not announced the number of kills made within the Secret Realm.

Therefore, they had no idea that Xiao Fan was the undisputed King of Kills!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Fan had gained the recognition of the immeasurable divine pearl and become the Human Emperor!

The Divine Palace would ultimately grant Xiao Fan an astonishing reward!

"Elder Mao Tai, you old dog, you deserve to die!" Xiao Fan said coldly, glaring at Elder Mao Tai with intense Killing Intent. He was now the Human Emperor of the Nine Provinces, yet this Elder Mao Tai dared to launch a sneak attack to kill him!

"You, you're actually unharmed!" Elder Mao Tai was incredulous; this brat's talent was simply too monstrous!

He had struck in anger, yet the opponent was completely unharmed!

At this moment, Elder Mao Tai developed a resolve to kill Xiao Fan at all costs. This child must be eliminated, otherwise, he would surely face great disaster in the future, and it might even implicate his Mao Family.

Elder Mao Tai's eyes turned bloodshot, and he prepared to strike again immediately. Even if Liu Tianyun blamed him later, he couldn't care about that anymore!

"Die!" Elder Mao Tai roared.

"Presumptuous!" At this moment, Liu Tianyun bellowed, casually slapping out a palm strike that sent Elder Mao Tai vomiting blood!

"Your, Your Majesty…" Elder Mao Tai was knocked to the ground by Liu Tianyun's strike, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Tianyun's Realm was at the Great Perfection of the Yuding Realm, and his talent was monstrous; he even had the strength to battle an Elementary Jiesheng Realm powerhouse. Elder Mao Tai had absolutely no power to resist before him!

"Elder Mao Tai, do you hold my Imperial Family in any regard?" Liu Tianyun said coldly, filled with Killing Intent.

Setting aside the deal between him and Xiao Fan, just the fact that Elder Mao Tai had injured someone within the Imperial Palace was enough for Liu Tianyun to be unable to tolerate it!

"No, I dare not!" Elder Mao Tai cowered, immediately going limp.

"Bang!" At that moment, a terrifying sword light surged in from outside the hall, instantly striking Elder Mao Tai!!

"Pfft!" Elder Mao Tai coughed up a mouthful of blood as the small half of his right side was hacked into dust by this sword strike.

"Elder Mao Tai, did my previous words mean nothing to you?" A woman's voice came coldly from outside the hall.

"You dare to lay a hand on someone protected by my Lianhua Pavilion!"

The woman appeared, radiating a charming aura that could topple nations, while simultaneously surrounded by Killing Intent. It was the very same woman who had appeared in Xiao Fan's Immortal Cave alongside Liu Tianyun.

"No, I dare not!" Elder Mao Tai's face turned pale instantly; he hadn't expected this woman to be nearby as well!

With the Imperial Family and Lianhua Pavilion both pressuring Elder Mao Tai, the latter was completely cowed. Even after having half his body destroyed, he didn't dare utter a single harsh word!

Losing half his body wasn't difficult for him to recover from; a few days of closed-door cultivation would suffice!

But offending these two factions might bring great disaster upon the Mao Family.

Xiao Fan looked gratefully at Liu Tianyun and the woman from Lianhua Pavilion.

If Elder Mao Tai had continued to attack without anyone intervening, the current Xiao Fan would only have been able to flee!

He still had confidence in his movement techniques; as long as he could escape to the restaurant, rendezvous with Zhangsun Ning, and then safely leave the Imperial City, it would be fine.

However, afterward… Xiao Fan would definitely slaughter the entire Mao Family!

"This is too domineering…"

"Elder Mao Tai suffered a huge loss; he didn't manage to kill the person, and ended up being seriously injured himself."

"But what kind of person is that kid, to actually make the Imperial Family and Lianhua Pavilion step forward together?"

"…"

The discussions continued, though they were all via voice transmission, as everyone was curious about the relationship between Xiao Fan and these two factions.

Elder Mao Tai's face was dark; he hadn't even found his grandson yet, and now…

"Elder Mao Tai, look at who this is."
