673: Chapter 673: Concern Leads to Chaos?
I can spare you a life!
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, which could be described as wildly arrogant, You Lu laughed mockingly.
Even he himself had forgotten how long it had been since anyone had dared to talk to him like that!
To think that today, such words would come from the mouth of a young man.
It wasn’t just any killer ranked tenth on the Heavenly List, even those five vicious ones ranked above him wouldn’t dare to say they could take his life and then spare him!
What’s more, You Lu was very confident in his own strength.
If he wanted to, his ranking would definitely not just be sixth on the international assassins’ list, the Heavenly List.
It would certainly go even further!
“Killer, I must say, I had long heard of your boundless arrogance, but I never imagined it to be to the extent that you don’t even take an old man like me into consideration.
It seems today the old man has to teach you what it means to be a true powerhouse!”
As the words fell, You Lu slowly released his imposing aura, his hawk-like eyes staring intently at Bai Xiaofan.
As if a mere blink could send Bai Xiaofan running away.
Jiang Hai and the others were utterly shocked.
They had not expected You Lu’s cultivation to have reached the mid-Nascent Soul realm!
Originally, the two brothers thought that with their combined cultivation, along with their synergy, they could potentially reach the top fifteen of the Heavenly List.
And once one day their cultivation could break through from late Golden Core to early Nascent Soul, there was hope of advancing to the terrifying existence among the top five on the Heavenly List.
Now, it seemed that it was all just wishful thinking of the two brothers!
“Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘youthful arrogance’?
Oh right, you’re already of a certain age, like the fine wine you brew, a single drop can intoxicate an elephant, but what happened?
I drank so much and it didn’t affect me at all!”
Bai Xiaofan’s lips curled into a faint sneer, looking arrogantly at You Lu across from him, not taking the other’s mid-Nascent Soul cultivation into account at all.
Weren’t mid-Nascent Soul Liang Chao and Shi Budong also slain by him?
Even late Nascent Soul Zhao Hui, he could fight!
So why would he fear a mid-Nascent Soul You Lu?
Even Xiao Mei, who was sitting to the side, was unconcerned.
She was very clear about Bai Xiaofan’s strength.
Although Bai Xiaofan was currently only at the late Golden Core realm, he was not someone You Lu could deal with.
That day, in front of the Taiyi Gate hall, Bai Xiaofan’s earth-shattering battle was still vivid in her mind.
It was precisely that battle that made Xiao Mei realize, to her astonishment, that Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation had unknowingly surpassed hers by much.
Everyone listening to Bai Xiaofan’s words involuntarily curled their lips.
It’s not like just anyone can be arrogant in their youth, right?
“Killer, you’re being too arrogant.
Even though you’re currently ranked tenth on the Heavenly List, don’t forget who you’re facing—the existence ranked sixth on the Heavenly List!”
Fei Li glared and said loudly to Bai Xiaofan.
However, before Bai Xiaofan could respond to him, Xiao Mei was the first to shout sharply.
Hearing Xiao Mei’s uncompromising words, Fei Li, angered and pointing at her, was stuttering and could not articulate a response.
Then, overwhelmed with rage, he grabbed his dagger and bellowed.
“You wench, I will fight you to the death.
Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
To Fei Li’s bluster, Xiao Mei slightly raised an eyebrow, and threw the half cup of wine she was holding in her hand towards his face.
The wine splashed entirely onto Fei Li’s face.
“You’re not qualified!”
As Fei Li regained his senses and wiped the alcohol from his face, a tone that was neither salty nor bland, lightly drawn and casually spoken, fell upon his ears.
It also reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
You’re not qualified!
What an arrogant and presumptuous statement!
But for Xiao Mei at that moment, to say such words to Fei Li was something no one dared to contradict.
Because just now, Xiao Mei had just stabbed Fei Li with a sword!
A defeated subordinate, what qualification do you have to challenge again?
“Alright, step back!”
Seeing Fei Li making a fool of himself in front of Xiao Mei once again, Yuluo couldn’t help but speak out to stop him.
Although Xiao Mei’s strength was not bad, it was still not enough to attract his serious attention.
As long as he defeated Bai Xiaofan in front of him, wouldn’t the people here be at their mercy?
After hearing Yuluo’s words, Fei Li glared fiercely at Xiao Mei and, clutching the wound on his left rib, retreated to the side.
“Killing God, make your move, I know your strength is definitely not just what we’re seeing right now!”
Yuluo stared at Bai Xiaofan and said in a low voice.
He could tell that Bai Xiaofan was only at the late Golden Core stage of cultivation.
But to make a half-step Nascent Soul like Xiao Mei so obedient, the person certainly wouldn’t just have that level of cultivation.
“Forget it, you make the first move.
After all, I have always understood the importance of respecting the elderly.
If I were to make the first move, perhaps you wouldn’t even have the chance to strike!”
Upon hearing Yuluo’s words, Bai Xiaofan gave a faint smile, his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the other party with arrogance.
Hearing the arrogant words of Bai Xiaofan and seeing his defiant stance, the people present couldn’t help but secretly scoff.
This guy is just too arrogant, isn’t he?
To say that if he struck first, Yuluo wouldn’t even have the chance to make a move.
Such words, even the top three super tough guys on the heavenly list wouldn’t necessarily dare to say to Yuluo.
Yet now they were coming from the mouth of someone ranked tenth on the heavenly list.
“Humph, since you insist on courting death, then I shall oblige!”
Yuluo originally thought that if possible, rather than killing Bai Xiaofan, he could recruit him for his own use.
But he didn’t expect Bai Xiaofan to repeatedly provoke him, incessantly challenging his limits.
As his words ended, Yuluo stepped forward and his dagger viciously thrust towards Bai Xiaofan.
This move was surprisingly fast, so fast that Jiang Hai, Fei Li, and the others didn’t even have time to react.
Even Xiao Mei at the side couldn’t help but frown.
Because she realized that Yuluo’s move was one she might not be fully confident in intercepting.
Although she knew Bai Xiaofan’s strength was already a bit stronger than hers,
subconsciously, there was still some worry in her heart.
Perhaps, this was the legendary concern leading to chaos?
Seeing Yuluo’s powerful strike, Fei Li inwardly reckoned that this one move could perhaps defeat Bai Xiaofan.
When that time came, he would teach Bai Xiaofan a good lesson, as well as that detestable woman who had stabbed him with a sword.
Otherwise, he would lose a great deal of face today!
However, for Bai Xiaofan, the person involved, seeing Yuluo’s incoming stab, the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
As Yuluo’s dagger was about to pierce Bai Xiaofan’s abdomen,
Bai Xiaofan still made no move, just standing there calmly, his hands still clasped behind his back.
