"This..."
Nan Baixuan and Nan Baishan were both stunned.
With confused looks on their faces, they watched Chu Fan, not understanding why he would suddenly attack the old man.
However, before Nan Baixuan could think further, Nan Baishan quickly pulled her towards an empty space nearby.
Just now, the old man, without moving a single finger, had shattered a vase with just a look, and the flying shards could still hover in mid-air.
From this alone, Nan Baishan knew that the old man was definitely a legendary master.
Such a terrifying person could kill him or take Nan Baixuan away with no difficulty at all.
At that moment, he was anxiously contemplating how to escape this crisis when a dark horse appeared.
If not now, then when?
Although Nan Baixuan was being dragged away by her cousin, she kept turning her head back, her gaze fixed on Chu Fan's face.
She was certain that she didn't know this person at all.
However, she sensed a familiarity from this person and his eyes, as if she knew him but wasn't sure who he was.
After escaping to the outside of the restaurant and seeing that the old man did not pursue them, Nan Baishan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xuanxuan, hurry, we can't delay!"
Seeing Nan Baixuan still glancing back into the restaurant, Nan Baishan tugged her along and they hurried towards the opposite building.
"Brother, why did that person help us?"
Nan Baixuan asked curiously.
Nan Baishan, who only wanted to escape, snorted and mumbled, "Who knows who he is, I don't recognize him!"
"Perhaps he's not helping us at all, but has a grudge against that old man."
Hearing this explanation, Nan Baixuan, who was originally puzzled, thought that it might indeed be the case, as no one would help others for no reason in this day and age.
At the same time, she was also wondering why that old man had specifically named her and asked her to go with him, when she had not offended anyone.
Inside the restaurant.
Elder Gu slowly walked until he was about two meters away from Chu Fan before stopping.
He nodded and said with a faint smile, "Very good!"
"Since you made the first move, it will be easier for me to explain when I report back!"
Although he didn't take Chu Qingtian's instructions to heart, Elder Gu still had some reservations.
His earlier forceful threat to Nan Baixuan was partly to test whether Chu Fan would intervene, and partly to force him to make the first move.
As long as he made the first move, and Elder Gu then killed him, Chu Qingtian would be helpless even if he was angry afterward.
Chu Fan chuckled coldly and said, "You were planning to kill me anyway, why pretend?"
Last night, at the Treasure Pavilion, the old man suddenly appeared at the doorway. From the look in his eyes, Chu Fan had already sensed killing intent.
He was certain that he hadn't misjudged; Elder Gu's killing intent towards him wasn't because he threatened Chu Qingtian's safety, but because he already had the intention to kill him in his heart.
Just now, as the two stood in opposition, Chu Fan once again sensed a flicker of killing intent.
With a little deduction, he knew that this old man by Chu Qingtian's side likely had a mission to kill him in secret.
However, due to Chu Qingtian or other reasons, he couldn't make a move directly but was always creating an excuse to do so.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Fan suddenly attacked and sent him flying, giving Nan Bai a chance to escape.
Otherwise, if they really started fighting, the old man might use Nan Baixuan as a threat to restrain him.
Elder Gu's sparse eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Clearly, he hadn't expected Chu Fan's perception and judgment to be so sharp, having discerned his intention to kill him long ago.
"Old man, if you want to kill me, you need to have the ability!"
"If you're not convinced, then try it!"
After throwing these provocative words, Chu Fan flashed away from the restaurant.
Since both were Grandmasters, a fight between them would cause a significant disturbance, which would not be good if seen by ordinary people.
Therefore, he decided to change the battlefield.
Elder Gu sneered, put his hands behind his back, and followed Chu Fan unhurriedly.
Although his purpose in coming here was to take Nan Baixuan away, Elder Gu was not in a hurry. He felt that opportunities were rare, and taking this chance to kill Chu Fan would make the matter of capturing Nan Baixuan irrelevant.
Soon, Chu Fan led Elder Gu to a construction site that was temporarily halted.
As Elder Gu entered his attack range, he did not hesitate and launched the first attack.
Only one of the two people standing here today would leave alive.
The might of powerful combat shook the void.
Muffled thuds constantly echoed from the air, and the ground cracked open from time to time.
The figures of the two were completely indistinguishable; only fleeting, ethereal silhouettes could be seen rapidly flashing about.
After a hundred exchanges, the two separated temporarily.
Elder Gu patted the footprints on his clothes and said with a chuckle, "Kid, if this is all you've got, then don't waste your efforts. Come forward obediently and I'll send you to meet the King of Hell, saving me the trouble of wasting my strength and time!"
Chu Fan smiled and said, "I really want to say, if you've only got this much ability, then come forward and I'll slap you to death!"
"Hmph!"
Elder Gu let out a cold snort and lunged at Chu Fan, creating afterimages.
This time, both went all out.
Chu Fan weaved between offense and defense, constantly seeking opportunities to gravely injure Elder Gu.
Elder Gu was also looking for opportunities to gravely injure Chu Fan.
At this moment, both sides had their own thoughts.
In Chu Fan's mind, Elder Gu's strength was indeed remarkable. After all, since arriving in the Dragon God Kingdom, apart from Bai Xi, who had never made a move, no one else had been able to contend with him for so many moves.
At the same time, Chu Fan was also secretly calculating his chances of winning if the fight continued, and whether the seal on his exotic poison would loosen after winning.
Elder Gu's expression was serious, and a surge of shock welled up in his heart.
He had heard that Chu Fan was not simple, but only when they truly fought did he realize how extraordinary this young man was.
At such a young age, his strength was already on par with his own, and even faintly surpassed him.
Having seen countless geniuses, Elder Gu felt that the geniuses he had seen before were not fit to carry Chu Fan's shoes.
At the same time, he also felt a sense of regret.
It was a pity that such a genius stood on the opposing side. If they weren't on opposing sides and he were brought into the organization, he would undoubtedly become an extremely dazzling super powerhouse in the future.
After hundreds of exchanges, the two separated again.
This time, both their faces were slightly pale, and their breathing was a little rapid.
"This can't go on like this!"
Chu Fan muttered to himself.
After fighting to this point, he knew very well that if the fight continued, due to the influence of the exotic poison, his strength could not be fully mobilized, and he would fall into a disadvantage, being worn down by Elder Gu.
The exotic poison was like a dormant bomb that could explode at any moment. If it exploded before he could completely kill Elder Gu, he wouldn't even need to make a move; the exotic poison alone could kill him.
Determined not to delay any longer, Chu Fan took a deep breath and fully mobilized the strength he could access.
His powerful attacks forced Elder Gu to retreat continuously.
Realizing that Chu Fan intended to end the battle quickly, Elder Gu chuckled and began to defend with all his might, planning to let Chu Fan continue to exhaust himself, making it easier to deal with him later.
"Hmm?"
During his continuous defense, Elder Gu suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
At this moment, Chu Fan grinned.
"Old man, you can die now!"
As he spoke, Chu Fan slammed his hands forcefully onto the ground.
