Chapter 593 Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
While Xu Fu was still lamenting that "you can't judge a book by its cover," Hu Fan was already preparing to take action.
From above, Hu Fan looked like a flea, and no one was following him.
Is he planning to take on the Savior Ship and the Ninth-Rank Flood Dragon all by himself?
"I'll go and lend a hand to Wei Su!"
Seeing this, Xu Fu no longer hesitated, and without waiting for Long Dunfeng and Zong He to stop him, he took a step forward.
The Wind and Thunder Wings spread out with the wind, emitting a series of faint thunderous sounds.
With a flap of his wings, Xu Fu was already a hundred feet away.
In just a few breaths, he caught up with Hu Fan.
"You brat! Get out of here! We don't need you here!" Hu Fan recognized Xu Fu and immediately shouted angrily.
Xu Fu ignored Hu Fan.
"Don't play dumb with me! Get out of here! Do you want me to slap you?"
Seeing that Xu Fu had no reaction, Hu Fan became even angrier.
"Catch up with me first!"
Xu Fu turned around and smiled, then flapped his wings and rushed straight towards the savior ship.
"Boom!"
Using the momentum of the Wind and Thunder Wings, Xu Fu punched the Salvation Ship hard, producing a muffled sound like a drumbeat.
The Shenzhou only trembled slightly before returning to normal, with only a shallow fist mark on the spot where it had been punched. Xu Fu, on the other hand, was knocked back several feet by the recoil before regaining his footing.
"Damn, that's hard!"
Xu Fu was so angry that he cursed. He had always been very confident in his strength, but this time he had really met his match.
"Stop it, kid!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out. Xu Fu looked up and saw a man jump off the Shenzhou and head straight for him.
"There are reinforcements!"
Xu Fu was about to throw a punch to meet the attack, but as soon as he raised his fist halfway, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body.
"It's sword energy!"
Xu Fu remembered this feeling and recognized it immediately. The stinging pain reminded him of Sheng Yu'e, the Golden Star of Qilin.
Xu Fu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that this person's cultivation level was no less than Sheng Yu'e's.
Xu Fu steadied himself and looked closely; he saw a white-robed old man with an air of otherworldly elegance.
The old man had white hair and beard, even his eyebrows were white, and his moon-white robe was very well-fitting, so that even when he fell from a height, it was not disheveled in the slightest.
The old man pointed again in mid-air, and before Xu Fu could dodge, he was struck by the sword energy once more and fell straight down.
Fortunately, Xu Fu had recovered his spiritual power and was now able to use the Tongtian Technique.
In the blink of an eye, he had refined most of the sword energy within his body. Before landing, he managed to flap his Wind and Thunder Wings twice to avoid falling to the ground.
"Who goes there?" Xu Fu steadied himself and asked loudly.
You don't deserve to know!
The old man in white robes descended from the sky and headed straight for Xu Fu.
This time, however, the old man did not rush to unleash his sword energy. Instead, he kept it gathered in his hand, as if he was accumulating power.
Just as the old man was about to reach out, a red light suddenly flashed.
The white-robed elder reacted extremely quickly, using some unknown technique to forcibly stop his descent and dodge the red light.
"Who?"
The white-robed old man roared angrily, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the red light had come.
"Hahaha……"
Hu Fan's laughter echoed throughout Hundred Flowers Island.
"Bai Mei, you really have no shame! How dare you lay a hand on a junior like yourself?"
Hu Fan, carrying the Fire Tiger Sword, hopped and skipped over.
Xu Fu quickly hid behind Hu Fan and refined the remaining sword energy within his body.
"Why are you the only one? Where are all your followers? Just call them all out, since you've taken advantage of people quite a bit before."
Seeing that the white-robed old man remained silent, Hu Fan continued his mockery.
"I am enough to deal with you on my own!"
The white-robed old man landed gracefully on the ground, and with a flick of his right hand at his waist, a soft sword gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand.
Hu Fan looked at the long sword in the white-robed old man's hand, his tone full of disdain.
"What's wrong? Can't you get the hang of sword qi techniques, so you've gone back to practicing swordsmanship?"
"I see you've gotten quite ready. Why don't you practice your singing and go perform a grand opera in Donghai City?"
"..."
Hu Fan's sharp tongue made the old man so angry that his face turned red.
"You abandoned your sword back then too, what right do you have to criticize me!" the old man angrily questioned.
"I can abandon it if I want, and pick it up if I want to. It's none of your business!"
Hu Fan's unreasonable and self-righteous attitude completely enraged the white-robed elder. He quickly made several sword gestures with his left hand, pointed his long sword at the sky, and a powerful spiritual force shot up into the sky, instantly condensing into several long swords.
"It's the 'Heavenly Gang Sword Formation'!"
Xu Fu recognized the move at a glance; this was the third time he had seen it before.
However, this time the sword formation was formed extremely quickly. In just two breaths, those spiritual energy swords had taken shape, their tips pointing directly at Hu Fan, who had a disdainful expression.
"It's all just for show!"
Hu Fan seemed to be blaming Xu Fu for making a fuss. Even after Xu Fu reminded him, he did not rush to attack, as if he was intentionally waiting for the sword formation to take shape.
"Ojuku..."
"Shut up! Get lost!"
Xu Fu wanted to advise Hu Fan to be careful, but Hu Fan didn't appreciate it and sounded very impatient.
Left with no other choice, Xu Fu had to urge the Thousand-Mile Wing to take flight.
He had initially worried that the white-robed old man would attack him, but it turned out he had worried unnecessarily.
The white-robed old man kept his eyes fixed on Hu Fan, seemingly unconcerned about Xu Fu's fate.
"Are you done yet? You've been dawdling around with this broken sword formation for so long, I could have killed you ten times over!"
Hu Fan gripped the sword in his hand, seemingly unwilling to wait any longer.
"Try my 'Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Sword Formation'!"
The white-browed old man snorted coldly, reversed the long sword in his hand, and slammed it into the ground.
Hu Fan frowned slightly, slapped his chest with his left hand, and an egg-shaped shield appeared out of thin air, covering him.
Almost simultaneously, countless stones and rocks rose from the ground, transforming into swords of earth and stone of all sizes that pierced towards Hu Fan.
Fortunately, Hu Fan activated his protective magic artifact beforehand, so he didn't suffer any damage.
However, these earthen and stone swords were extremely powerful, and each strike would cause the "eggshell" to tremble.
In the end, obvious cracks could be seen on the "eggshell", and it seemed that it would break at any moment.
"Bai Mei, it seems you've made some progress these past few years!"
Hu Fan's annoying voice rang out again, like an elder commenting on a junior's cultivation.
"drink!"
The white-robed elder pointed into the air again, and the thirty-six spiritual energy swords that had been floating in the sky fell down at lightning speed.
Like divine punishment from the heavens, its power and scale were immense!
Xu Fu watched from a distance and couldn't help but feel worried for Hu Fan.
If Xu Fu hadn't known Hu Fan's past, he would have been extremely worried, but now, Xu Fu felt more anticipation.
What kind of extraordinary skills did this person, who was able to fight Mo Liuxing to a draw in two moves back then, possess?
"what!"
Then, Hu Fan let out an angry shout, and a fiery red sword light burst forth from the dense array of earthen and stone swords.
The sword light, imbued with violent spiritual power, resembled a peerless ferocious beast that had been dormant for a long time.
Awakening in a flash, it devours the heavens and the earth!
