Chen Fan remained unfazed at this moment.
Calm.
As if nothing had happened.
Gu Xi, however, had been immensely proud at first, spouting boasts.
Soon, he froze in place, his expression turning extremely grim.
This was because the sword in his hand had been cleanly snapped in two by Chen Fan's wooden staff.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!
This...
Moreover, half of the broken blade had already pierced the ground.
The scene was utterly comical.
He had just claimed his sword was invincible, only for it to break in the next moment...
The humiliation came as swiftly as a tornado!
Gu Xi's old face contorted.
He was filled with nothing but anger and shock...
This brat, so young, already possessed such immense strength? How was that possible?
The old Daoist, witnessing this, showed a smile he'd never displayed before, his mood absolutely elated!
He felt incredibly pleased, as if to say, "This is exactly the feeling I wanted!"
"You old cur, weren't you quite smug just now? Why aren't you smug anymore?"
"Keep being smug!"
"Haha... Wasn't your sword supposed to be invincible under the heavens?"
"How did it suddenly become so weak? Honestly, this isn't even like your usual style!"
"..."
At this point, the old Daoist was so happy he was practically dancing.
"Good disciple, you've truly brought honor to your master, well done!"
"Well done..."
"You old bastard, do you have anything else to say?"
With his sword broken, Gu Xi naturally dared not act presumptuously anymore.
Humiliated!
One had to admit, Chen Fan's strength was truly formidable!
To possess such combat power at such a young age was truly extraordinary!
Gu Xi stared at Chen Fan, "You're not that old bastard's disciple; we know his skill level!"
"Who exactly are you?"
One had to admit, Gu Xi was a sharp man.
He saw through the deception at a glance.
Chen Fan's expression remained blank, "Who I am, and what kind of person I am, is not important to today's matter!"
"Have Gu Liang come out!"
"As I said before, none of you are my match!"
The old Daoist blinked and spat indignantly, "Let me tell you all, accept reality!"
"If you're not a match, you're not a match!"
"Understand?"
"..."
"Bullying others with someone else's power..." Gu Xi and Gu Lin said almost in unison.
The old Daoist, hearing this, was incensed, "Disciple, they've insulted your master, deal with it yourself!"
Chen Fan said nothing, but inwardly cursed, "That old geezer, you think you can push your luck!"
"Alright..."
Chen Fan prepared to act again.
At this moment, Gu Liang walked out and said sternly, "Enough... let's stop here!"
"Didn't you all want me to come out? Here I am!"
Gu Liang was advanced in years, but he carried himself with an air of ethereal grace.
As if he were untouched by worldly affairs.
He was the complete opposite of the old Daoist; one exuded a hint of immortal demeanor, while the other was merely unkempt and slovenly.
It was utterly laughable!
Upon seeing Gu Liang, the old Daoist turned to Chen Fan and said, "Disciple, this is the old fellow, hurry and avenge your master!"
Chen Fan stared at Gu Liang and slowly asked, "Tell me, will he know the place I want to find?"
The old Daoist was taken aback, "How could he possibly know?"
"Don't joke around!"
Chen Fan said, "That old man from the Golden Gate previously pointed me towards a path, which involved finding the sect leader of the Gu Sect..."
