Chapter 25: The Power of Throat Crushing Lock

This battle was extremely disadvantageous for Xiao Fan.

For a Cultivator below the Profound Core Realm, a Physical Body injury could be fatal.

Xiao Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, then looked up at Wang Xuan. During their exchange, he had landed a few punches on Wang Xuan. Although he hadn't used his full strength, Wang Xuan had also sustained some internal injuries.

But compared to Xiao Fan, it was nothing.

"This Xiao Fan is very strong, but without a suitable weapon, he's at a great disadvantage..."

"You can't say that either. After all, Wang Xuan is originally a Sword Cultivator, and only by using a sword can he display his true strength."

.....

Many people were discussing. The opinions of many present about Xiao Fan had already changed.

After all, the strength and talent he displayed were enough to make them take him seriously.

Long Miaoyin's face was covered by a veil, so no one could see her expression, but through her eyes, it was clear she was very nervous and worried.

Long Yi, standing beside her, had an excited look on his face, feeling great joy at seeing Xiao Fan injured.

"Do it... it would be best to kill Xiao Fan..." Long Yi thought to himself, calculating.

Long Xiaotian's expression was somewhat complex. As a direct descendant of the Long Family and the pride of the Long Family's younger generation, he had lost to Xiao Fan. He should have accepted it like a man and sought another Opportunity to challenge him in the future.

But he had actually agreed with Long Yi's suggestion to instigate conflict between Xiao Fan and others.

Wang Xuan looked at Xiao Fan and calmly said, "You are not my opponent. There's no point in continuing this fight. You'll only be exhausted to death in the end."

If Xiao Fan had no trump cards and continued to wear himself down like this, he would indeed be unable to hold on longer than Wang Xuan.

Xiao Fan didn't get angry; instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, who knows without trying?"

Wang Xuan frowned, but then relaxed. "I admire your persistence. Let's continue then."

Wang Xuan, holding his White Mist Sword, charged forward, his Aura surging. Wherever the White Mist Sword passed, a white glow flashed.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, circulated his Cultivation to its peak, and then shot out. Instead of maintaining distance and evading Wang Xuan's attacks, he went straight for a close-quarters fight.

Actually, when dealing with a Sword Cultivator, if you can't decide the outcome in one move in close combat, you'll only be at a disadvantage.

The most rational approach should be to maintain distance, dodge the opponent's attacks, and then look for an Opportunity to deliver a killing blow!

Yet, Xiao Fan always engaged in close combat, leaving everyone baffled, even Wang Xuan in the midst of the fight. He didn't believe Xiao Fan was a fool who wouldn't understand these things.

Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you know that close combat is pointless?"

However, Xiao Fan merely curled his lips, ignoring him, and continued with his fighting style.

Wang Xuan frowned. He always felt something was off... but he couldn't figure it out.

The two fought for a while longer. Xiao Fan's body gained several more bloodstains, but Wang Xuan saw no fear on his face; on the contrary, he saw some excitement on Xiao Fan's face...

"Could it be?"

Wang Xuan had a bad feeling, but then he shook his head, dismissing it, believing he must be overthinking.

This battle had dragged on long enough. It wasn't that Wang Xuan didn't want to end it, but Xiao Fan was too tenacious. No matter how many sword strikes he took, he still stood firm.

"Don't you think it's strange...?"

"Yes, normally, someone fighting to this point, knowing they have no chance of winning, should concede. This Xiao Fan..."

Even the Wang Family Elder spoke up, "Wang Xuan hasn't held back, and the opponent can still hold on. This is indeed very strange..."

These Family Elders were all experts, and naturally, they could see the anomaly in this battle. Everyone was curious, but they had no clue.

However, those Family disciples didn't think so. Their Cultivation was insufficient, and their vision was far behind, so they naturally couldn't understand those things.

But they were very displeased with Xiao Fan being a live-in son-in-law. They had lost face earlier when Xiao Fan defeated them, so now that Wang Xuan had stepped forward, they were naturally overjoyed.

"Wang Xuan, hurry up and take down that live-in son-in-law!"

"Xiao Fan, you should just admit defeat and honestly be a live-in son-in-law..."

......

Hearing people nearby say this, the smile on Long Yi's face grew wider. If it weren't for his inappropriate status, he would have surely joined in the mockery like the others.

Xiao Fan in the arena heard these words. He coldly swept his gaze over these people. Stared at by his cold gaze, these Family disciples were so scared that none dared to speak further.

Then Xiao Fan looked at Wang Xuan: "Continue... And, I want to thank you."

Thank you?

Few people on the scene understood what Xiao Fan meant by that. Especially the Family disciples, they all stared at each other, unable to figure out the meaning of "thank you."

However, the Long Family Old Ancestor in mid-air clicked his tongue in wonder: "It seems I underestimated this kid before; I didn't expect his talent to be so strong..."

"Perhaps he really has no Opportunity on him, just his inherent talent."

.....

Wang Xuan was filled with a bad premonition. Being told this by his opponent made him feel very displeased.

"Xiao Fan, stop being so stubborn. If we continue, I won't hold back."

Xiao Fan smiled upon hearing this: "To express my gratitude, don't worry, I will hold back."

Xiao Fan once again closed in on Wang Xuan, intending to fight him in close combat, just like before.

However, what was different was that Xiao Fan's speed now seemed a bit faster than before.

"Not good..."

The white robe, stained with blood, flashed before his eyes. Wang Xuan was greatly alarmed. This time, he felt danger from the opponent, extreme danger!!

He wanted to flash back, but Xiao Fan was already in close proximity; how could he give him that Opportunity?

Xiao Fan's figure suddenly leaped up from below. Their eyes met. Wang Xuan's face was greatly surprised, while Xiao Fan, facing him, revealed a slight smile.

However, this smile appeared like a devil in Wang Xuan's eyes...

"Damn it!"

Wang Xuan cursed, raising the long sword in his hand and slashing it towards Xiao Fan, but it was already too late...

"Throat Crushing Lock!"

Xiao Fan uttered a low cry, forming a hand seal with his right hand. All his remaining strength surged into the seal, which glowed with golden light, exuding an astonishing Aura. Then, he fiercely struck towards Wang Xuan's throat!

"Wait!" The Wang Family Elder was greatly alarmed and quickly called out, but it was too late to stop him.

Everyone around was stunned. The Aura displayed by Xiao Fan's move was truly astonishing.

Whether it was hearing the elder's words or Xiao Fan's own decision, Xiao Fan changed the direction of his right hand's seal just as it was about to reach the throat, smashing it instead into his chest.

Wang Xuan was struck by the seal, and his mind instantly went blank. He only felt the sound of bones cracking in his chest, and then his entire body flew backward, soaring over twenty meters before crashing against a wall and finally stopping.

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell unconscious...

The surroundings were silent, with only the Wang Family Elder rushing over to check if Wang Xuan was alive or dead....
