This late-stage Foundation Establishment bandit was ruthless and taciturn. He took out his long sword and launched a fierce attack.
It seemed to lack any particular method, but it contained hidden logic, which made Xiao Fan raise an eyebrow and become much more serious.
Xiao Fan, with his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation, was one level lower than his opponent, but his aura was by no means weak. With the Overlord Blade Technique as his foundation, he was not afraid of his opponent.
His response was also very appropriate, simple and direct: just do it.
The two of them exchanged blows, one after the other, and fought without any fancy moves. In the end, Xiao Fan killed the man with a single slash.
This caused an uproar among the robbers.
"How is this possible? This kid is clearly only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"It's not that simple after all; even Blue Blade can't defeat it."
These people looked at Xiao Fan with a more cautious gaze.
Xiao Fan hadn't expended too much energy in this match. Seeing that Yin Tiantian was still healing, he didn't leave the arena and continued:
"I'll play again next time, who's up?"
Xiao Fan won a match, and his aura became even stronger, accumulating an invincible momentum.
Having witnessed Xiao Fan's abilities, these people were somewhat hesitant and exchanged bewildered glances. Finally, a bandit at the early stage of the Golden Core realm stepped forward to fight.
"I'll do it. I'll suppress my cultivation level to be at the same level as yours."
Xiao Fan nodded at him without saying much. He wasn't arrogant; even if a Golden Core cultivator suppressed their cultivation, they still had an advantage.
His willpower became more focused, and his expression turned solemn.
This time, he didn't wait for the opponent to attack first. Being at a disadvantage, he could only seize the opportunity by taking the initiative. He didn't know if he could withstand any fierce attack from the opponent, so he dared not gamble.
The precious sword hummed and its blade trembled slightly.
Xiao Fan raised his hand and slashed at the man's waist with his sword. The man did not dare to be careless and quickly slashed back with his sword.
To their shock, they both took several steps back at the same time.
Xiao Fan squinted at his opponent. This was his first time fighting a Golden Core cultivator, and he was indeed no ordinary opponent. Although the opponent had suppressed his cultivation, his powerful spiritual energy still surprised him.
What he didn't know was that the other person was even more surprised than he was.
This robber is a Golden Core cultivator, while the other party isn't even at the late Foundation Establishment stage. In a head-on clash, how could the other party possibly make him retreat?
The robbers who were watching also looked surprised.
Yin Tiantian raised an eyebrow. She felt that confronting the other party head-on would definitely not work; Xiao Fan had really improved a lot.
Qin Feng wasn't too surprised. He had seen Xiao Fan's efforts. The previous hardships had made him even more diligent and serious, and his cultivation level had improved rapidly. He had laid a solid foundation.
Both sides paused for a moment, and the battle resumed.
Xiao Fan's swordsmanship is still domineering and straightforward, which he likes very much, but he suffers a lot when facing opponents stronger than him.
Just like the opponent in front of him, if he couldn't break through after a long time, then it would be the opponent's turn to launch an attack.
This Golden Core level bandit has stained his skin with the blood of countless people and has a deep understanding of the vital points of the human body. In addition, his swordsmanship is unpredictable and not as easy to defend against as Xiao Fan's straightforward style.
Soon, Xiao Fan was at a disadvantage and found himself in a passive, defensive position.
The man was overjoyed, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, and couldn't help but exert even more effort.
The group watching from the sidelines seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and their mood improved.
Yin Tiantian was getting anxious; things couldn't go on like this, so she couldn't help but speak to Qin Feng.
"Junior brother, this won't do. After all, the opponent is a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Even if he suppresses his cultivation, his spiritual power is still more abundant than Xiao Fan's. If this continues, Xiao Fan will lose."
Qin Feng looked at her calmly: "You're right. Do you know why I put you against these people?"
"Tch, they just want us to get some experience, don't they?"
"That's right, but didn't you notice? These people are all filled with murderous aura, resentment, and malevolence. They are all ruthless executioners who kill without blinking an eye."
These are rare opponents. You've been too comfortable in the sect, lacking experience in life-or-death battles. Fighting these people will perfectly make up for your shortcomings. They're like tools delivered to your doorstep; cherish them."
Yin Tiantian seemed to be deep in thought, and finally asked a question.
"You said you'd let them go if they beat me and Xiaofan, is that true?"
"Of course, I keep my word, but I hope none of them leave. What do you think?"
"Hmph, I will try my best."
As they talked, Xiao Fan became increasingly embarrassed.
As time went on, Xiao Fan's disadvantages became more and more obvious. In terms of consumption alone, Xiao Fan was far at a disadvantage.
Xiao Fan's expression was blank, but in his heart he was screaming: I want to win, Xiao Fan wants to win, I want to perform well in front of the young master and sister.
Perhaps it was this obsession that earned him divine favor, for suddenly that wondrous feeling reappeared. It was something Qin Feng had told him about, something called sword intent.
Buzz.
His precious sword hummed, causing the opponent's longsword to pause.
At this critical moment, Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, flashing with a sharp light. Seizing the opportunity, he cleaved his opponent in two at the waist with a single stroke.
The Golden Core cultivator stared at Xiao Fan with terror and disbelief until his death, and everyone heard him utter his last two words.
"Sword intent?"
Unfortunately, he could not hear Xiao Fan's reply.
Xiao Fan was very excited. He clenched his little fist and roared at the sky, just like Yin Tiantian had done earlier.
He looked at Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and Yin Tiantian with excitement, his face flushed.
"I have truly mastered the essence of the sword now. I can feel it. It's amazing."
Yin Tiantian stared in disbelief, her lips twitched, and she cursed him under her breath as a little pervert.
