Now that you have betrayed the sect, who will still pamper you?.

If the head of the family had not issued a death order, insisting that he restore the prestige of the Dragon Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, Duan Guifan would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Although they had never fought each other, he knew very well how strong Jiang Han was.

After hundreds of years of practicing Taoism, this was the first time he had seen someone with top talent, comprehension, and luck. Even if the other person's cultivation was not high, the evaluation of the Heavenly Dao would never be wrong.

In addition to the various deeds that the other party has done after becoming famous, especially after this trip to the Demon Realm, the other party's strength has definitely reached the level of the top five on the Earth List, and it is very likely that he can even fight with the top three.

How painful would a blow from a sword cultivator ranked in the top five on the Earth Ranking hurt someone?

Duan Guifan didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know.

He had already decided to run away after recording the photo stone. If he was caught, he would pay a heavy price to apologize, which was better than being beaten up.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone below stopped moving and each held up their photo stones, pointing them at Duan Guifan and the closed doors and windows of the Zixiao Sword Sect's residence.

"It's ready, sir, you can start now."

Duan Guifan's face straightened as he heard the sound. He glanced around secretly, then his whole body burst out with a powerful aura and shouted loudly:

"I am Duan Guifan from the Dragon Bird Chamber of Commerce at the Lingfu Palace. I have heard that Fellow Daoist Jiang is unparalleled in strength and his swordsmanship is extremely powerful, earning him the reputation of being invincible at his level. The Emperor Armor Technique I have cultivated is also renowned for its invincible defense at its level. Today, I learned that Fellow Daoist Jiang is here, so I've come to learn from him!"

As he spoke, a strong wind blew up, blowing his cloak into fluttering clouds, like a red cloud floating behind him, giving him more courage.

Seeing that no one answered, he relaxed a lot and spoke loudly again: "Fellow Daoist Jiang is so famous, could it be that he dare not accept the challenge?"

"Oh, I thought you were as powerful as the rumors said, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly that you don't even have the courage to fight me. It's really disappointing."

Hearing this, He Xiaoxiao and Situ Yu, who were originally in a standoff, stopped at the same time.

"Are you crazy?" The two looked at each other in surprise.

"He actually dared to declare war on Jiang Han in public. He really isn't afraid of death."

He Xiaoxiao sincerely admired Duan Guifan's behavior. No matter how miserable his death would be afterwards, at least now, he had done something that 99% of the Yuanying in the world dared not do.

She raised an eyebrow at Situ Yu: "How about we stop fighting and just take a look first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of rain not far away suddenly boiled up, and countless raindrops quickly gathered from all directions, soon condensing into the shape of Situ Yu.

She nodded seriously: "You make sense, let's stay away and watch."

The two of them immediately retracted their rules and hid aside. The butterfly rain curtain quickly dissipated, and only Duan Guifan was left in the air standing on the top of the stone pillar with his hands behind his back.

The world suddenly became quiet, and countless people were staring at this place.

Duan Guifan felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if a great danger was about to come. He hurriedly glanced around and said with forced composure:

"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn't dare to fight me, then I'll take my leave. We'll fight again another day."

He spoke very quickly, flicked his cloak and turned to leave, with his hands behind his back and his feet on the air, looking quite dignified.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly shouted:

"Sir, wait a minute. I read the last sentence too quickly and lacked momentum. Let's repeat it again."

This sentence almost scared Duan Guifan to death. Instead of stopping, he walked even faster: "Come on, what if Jiang Han really comes? It will kill people!"

For some reason, he was becoming increasingly panicked. If it weren't for maintaining his image, he would have wanted to just fly away.

"But……"

"But what? How about you come?"

This sentence immediately shut the man up. Duan Guifan curled his lips imperceptibly, took a step forward, but suddenly froze in place.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, blocking out the sunlight.

Looking up, I saw a large purple flag fluttering in the clouds, rustling in the strong wind.

That is... the battle flag of the Zixiao Sword Sect!

More than thirty warships were parked above Youxian Island. Nearly ten thousand disciples of the Sword Sect stood on the side of the ships, staring at him. Although they did not make any sound, they each held the hilt of the sword, with fierce murderous intent soaring into the sky, ready to cut him into pieces with a thousand swords at any time.

At the front of the fleet, a black warship a thousand feet in size slowly stopped.

Duan Guifan looked up and stood there in a daze, only to see a young man in a purple robe standing at the bow of the ship. He didn't care about the countless gazes shot at him from all directions, and calmly looked down at the people below.

"It's Jiang Han!"

Dozens of spiritual consciousnesses shot towards Jiang Han quickly from various floating islands, but were all bounced away by an invisible barrier when they touched ten feet around him.

A few muffled groans and sounds of surprise were heard all around, and in an instant, those spiritual consciousnesses retreated hurriedly like frightened rabbits.

"Such a strong power of spiritual consciousness!"

Blood flowed from the corner of Lu Jingxue's mouth. She looked at Jiang Han in disbelief, feeling so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

She just wanted to see how he was doing up close, but he had the heart to hurt her.

"Xiaohan..."

She groaned softly, swallowed the pill painfully, and then said with concern:

"Senior Sister, what does Xiaohan mean by this? Does he really want to attack Senior Brother Duan?"

"Duan Guifan is plotting to ruin Xiaohan's reputation, so naturally we have to fight him."

Mo Qiushuang's eyes showed relief: "Xiaohan has really grown up. In the past, if he suffered a loss, he would just swallow it to himself and would never dare to fight back."

"yes……"

Liu Hanyue sighed, then suddenly remembered something and clenched her fingers nervously: "No, they can't fight!"

"Senior Brother Duan's Imperial Armor Technique has already reached great perfection. He can even withstand a Divine Transformation cultivator. If Xiaohan were to face him, he would probably suffer a loss."

Lu Jingxue suddenly came to her senses: "Second Senior Sister is absolutely right. Xiaohan's swordsmanship is too fierce and is easily countered by the power of the earth veins..."

She stood up suddenly: "No, I can't watch Xiaohan suffer, I have to stop him!"

"Third Senior Sister!" Xia Qianqian quickly stood up and stopped her.

"Don't be impulsive. Xiaohan is very strong now. His strength is not inferior to the top ten on the Earth Ranking. If we really fight, we have a chance of winning."

"Get out of the way. What do you, a Jindan (Jingdan) person, know about the top ten on the Earth Ranking? Even if Xiaohan is strong, he's only in the late Yuanying stage. The top ten are mostly in the great perfection of the Yuanying stage. What can he use to fight?"

Lu Jingxue shook off Xia Qianqian's hand, her face filled with sorrow. "Besides, Senior Brother Duan's defense is unmatched. If Xiaohan gets hurt, I'll be heartbroken..."

"I'm a Dan-forming person..."

Xia Qianqian weakly hugged the arm that was thrown away, smiled bitterly, and whispered: "Even if I am only at the Jindan stage, I care about Xiaohan more than you do, and I understand him better than you..."

"What did you say?!" Lu Jingxue suddenly turned her head to look at her, "Xiaohan and I spend the most time together. When have you ever taken care of him except by beating him? Do you think you understand Xiaohan as well as I do?!"

Xia Qianqian curled her lips: "You talk as if you have ever taken care of him..."

"You!" Lu Jingxue's face flushed.

"That's enough!" Mo Qiu Shuang shouted softly.

"If he wants to fight, then let him fight. I'll protect him, Xiaohan will be fine."

She glanced at the two of them and said, "We've been sisters for many years. There's no need to get angry about this. Just give each other a cup of tea and let this matter be over."

The two of them looked at each other, and even though they were extremely reluctant, they could only clink their glasses together and drink.

"That's right."

Liu Hanyue stood up, smiled and pulled the two of them to sit down: "We are all family, there is nothing we can't get over."

When these words came out, Mo Qiushuang's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement. She looked at Jiang Han from afar and said:

"Yes, we are all family, there is nothing we can't get through."
