However, Xu Fan also knew that time was running out.
Since the Huang family sent people to stop him, they probably also sent people to find Fatty Wang.
"Fatty, you have to hang in there."
As Xu Fan thought to himself, he ran non-stop toward Fatty Wang's house.
This place is not far from Wang Pangzi's house. Since the Huang family has been controlled by Huang Lintian, who has become a puppet, it is impossible that there are only a few small fry to stop them.
But as he ran, Xu Fan soon realized something was wrong.
My speed is already forty or fifty kilometers per hour, which is two minutes faster than a normal car, so why haven't I arrived at Fatty Wang's house yet?
Xu Fan did not slow down, but instead released his true energy to quietly explore the surrounding environment.
He soon discovered the problem: no matter how far he ran, the buildings around him seemed to have legs and kept following behind him.
Is it a case of being trapped in a maze?
Could it be another spatial anomaly?
[The system has initiated its search function and is connecting to the database...]
[Scanning in progress...]
[Chick:]
Attribute: Beast-type mysterious creature.
Strength level: B.
Ghostly Power Level: Level 8.
Special skill: Can freeze time in a specific location at a particular moment.
Pause duration?
No wonder I've been walking for so long and am still stuck here; time has been stopped.
In other words, while Xu Fan was running, time was flowing normally in the outside world, but in this space, time had been stopped by the chick and no longer existed.
Xu Fan sighed, just about to send out the Myriad Demon Blood Glaze again in the same way, when he suddenly felt a powerful aura lock onto him.
"Tsk, this is almost on par with the Ghost Emperor, isn't it?"
Xu Fan inwardly complained, but dared not be careless in the slightest. He summoned the Immortal Execution Sword, ready to fight at any moment.
However, the powerful aura it sensed was only locked onto Xu Fan, with no intention of seizing the initiative.
After a moment of concentration, Xu Fan immediately realized what was going on.
The mysterious expert in front of him was just stalling for time. If he couldn't get there in time, Fatty Wang would definitely fall into the hands of the Huang family.
"Now that we've reached the level of the Demon Emperor, are we still going to play these sneaky tricks?"
Xu Fan uttered a soft shout, but there was no change in the surroundings, as if the powerful figure had not heard his voice at all.
Since they weren't planning to come out, Xu Fan didn't intend to waste any more time with them.
He suddenly turned the Zhuxian Sword around, pointing the tip directly at the ground, and forcefully stabbed it down.
The Zhuxian Sword has a restraining effect on formations, space and other techniques. Sure enough, when the sword struck, Xu Fan felt the ground tremble, as if the entire space was unstable, and a low moaning sound could be faintly heard.
"snort."
A cold snort suddenly echoed in the air, followed by a pale blue palm print appearing out of thin air.
When the blue handprint first appeared, it was only the size of an adult's palm, but as it flew toward Xu Fan, it grew larger and larger in the wind.
In just a few dozen meters, it was already the size of a person.
"Well done!" Xu Fan shouted, advancing instead of retreating, and carrying the Immortal Execution Sword to meet the palm print.
The moment the Zhuxian Sword and the palm print touched, a metallic clang suddenly erupted in the air.
A deep, muffled explosion came from where his palm touched the Zhuxian Sword. Even Xu Fan was forced to take several steps back by the force of the explosion.
After landing, Xu Fan stared intently at a certain spot in the air.
Thanks to his experience of training his true qi within the body of the man in the yellow robe, Xu Fan's control over his true qi has reached a new level.
During his head-on clash with this treacherous emperor, Xu Fan discovered the location where the other was standing.
As Xu Fan stared at that spot, faint ripples appeared in the air, and an old man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, appeared out of thin air in mid-air.
Beside him stood a magnificent golden pheasant, though the feathers on its back were somewhat dull and lackluster.
That sword strike must have damaged the golden pheasant.
"Young friend, I have no grudge against you, why fight to the death like this?"
Xu Fan sneered: "No grudges or enmities?"
"Why are you stopping me when we have no grudge against each other?"
The old man sighed: "I only owed the Huang family a favor back then."
"In the end, they're nothing more than lackeys of the Huang family."
Xu Fan's words seemed to enrage the old man, who, who had been looking helpless, suddenly erupted in fury:
"I have never deigned to do things for others in my life. Back then, the Night's Watch offered me such high terms, but I still refused their invitation, didn't I?"
The moment Xu Fan saw the old man, he understood that the old man's strength was no less than that of the Sword Emperor he had encountered before, and that defeating him would not be an easy task.
Next, we'll probably have to fight a fierce battle with the Huang family. At this point, there's really no need to waste all our energy on this old man.
Xu Fan said with a hint of roguishness, "So aren't you working for the Huang family right now?"
The old man's beard stood on end instantly: "As I said, I only owe the Huang family a favor."
"In the end, you're still someone's lackey."
The old man's face flushed red and then turned pale, as if he were going through some kind of intense internal struggle.
Xu Fan watched silently, but after a moment, the old man's expression suddenly returned to normal.
The old man slowly raised his head and glanced at Xu Fan with disdain.
"I can leave now."
After saying that, it left without pausing for even a moment, taking the golden pheasant with it.
Just as Xu Fan was about to move, his expression suddenly changed.
The old man just said he could leave.
It's not that he wanted to leave, it's that he was able to leave!
You can leave...
Xu Fan was suddenly startled.
Oh no, something's happened to Fatty Wang.
Xu Fan immediately got up and ran towards Fatty Wang's house with great speed, without much effort.
The traffic around him rushed past, but Xu Fan felt even more anxious. Faster, faster!
After rushing for a few minutes, Xu Fan finally saw Fatty Wang's place.
However, before Xu Fan could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several people escorting a chubby figure toward a car.
Looking at that chubby figure again, who else could it be but Fatty Wang?
It was at this moment that Fatty Wang seemed to see Xu Fan, struggling desperately and shouting in the distance:
"Brother Xu..."
But after those two words were uttered, the person standing next to Fatty Wang slapped him hard across the face.
Xu Fan's face was as cold as frost. He hadn't expected that even in such a rush, he would still be a step too late.
