Chapter 1449 - Malicious Words
The crowd was astonished to hear Xuan Xing.
How deep was his hatred for Chen Fan to say something like that?
Countless gazes fell on Xuan Xing, each pair of eyes flickering with curiosity. Almost instantly, the crowd’s imagination ran wild. Judging by the venom in Xuan Xing’s glare, they quickly pieced together what must have occurred, and their expressions shifted from curiosity to shock as they looked at Chen Fan.
Meanwhile, Li Yu secretly sent a voice transmission to Xiao Ruyue. He told her that Chen Fan had beaten Xuan Xing to a pulp; subsequently, he even made the ninth-stage half-immortal realm Chu Yun self-detonate.
In an instant, Xiao Ruyue shifted her gaze back to Chen Fan, her eyes filled with shock.
Chen Fan beating Xuan Xing to a pulp didn’t surprise her at all. However, forcing Chu Yun to self-detonate had set off violent waves in her heart.
As the fifth-ranked cultivator on the Immortal Conferral Leaderboard, a true ninth-stage half-immortal herself, she understood the vast gulf between the ninth and the peak eighth stage. That kind of gap wasn’t something one could simply leap across.
Take Xuan Xing, for example. As a descendant of a Sage, he possessed a powerful bloodline. In the same cultivation level, very few could rival him. However, if he were to face a ninth-stage half-immortal, even his divine heritage would grant him barely a ten-percent chance of victory.
The gap in every stage of the half-immortal realm was immense, especially above the seventh stage. From the seventh stage onward, every step forward was like crossing a chasm; few ever made it, and those who did saw their strength grow exponentially.
Yet, Chen Fan had forced a ninth-stage half-immortal to self-detonate, leaving him no path of escape. And Chen Fan was only a peak Void Immortal. Even if Chen Fan was still a little weaker than Xiao Ruyue now, she realized that the difference was likely insignificant.
All of a sudden, her gaze toward Chen Fan flickered with a strange light.
Meanwhile, the crowd waited with baited breath to see if Xiao Ruyue would agree to Xuan Xing’s proposition. After all, every other force here would accept that offer in a heartbeat.
