"It really was this brat who did it!"

"Why are you all still standing around? Attack together!"

"That's right! Make him pay for his arrogant actions!"

Xu Fan's simple words instantly aroused the crowd's anger. In the crowd, many people had already pulled out their weapons!

For a moment, the sword light flickered, and Miyamoto Kuro watched with his eyes wide, almost falling off his chair in shock!

He looked at Xu Fan now, genuinely wanting to cry!

Boss, you... don't play with me. If this really was done by Xu Fan, even the Miyamoto Family can't be cleared of involvement.

To know that by then, we would have offended the entire martial arts families of Dongying!

"Brat, prepare to die!"

Everyone present was a martial artist by nature, their temper already hot-headed. Xu Fan's indirect admission that it was his doing had now sparked a cold gleam in the crowd! A man merged with the sword light, charging directly at Xu Fan!

"Filou-kun, don't kill him!"

Seeing the opponent attacking Xu Fan with a sword, a group immediately cried out in alarm!

Filou-kun was the famous leader of the rapid sword style sect in Dongying, with countless souls perished under his sword. Even among the many experts present, no one dared boast that their sword could be faster than Filou-kun.

At this moment, their hearts were in their throats, only hoping that Filou-kun wouldn't be too impulsive.

To know, if Xu Fan were truly killed by Filou-kun's sword, his family's secret manual's whereabouts would be unknown.

"This!"

Soon, the nail-biting tension immediately ended.

The hall was immediately still.

No one present could utter a word.

Filou-kun's sword was intercepted.

This master of sword dao known for rapid swordsmanship in Dongying, with his longsword, was actually caught steadily by Xu Fan between two fingers.

Gulp...

Recalling the sword light from just now, the crowd stared dumbfounded at Xu Fan's fingertips on the sword tip, unable to resist swallowing.

This... How was it done?

"Baka!"

For decades, no one had ever intercepted his sword, making him a legendary figure in Dongying's sword dao world.

Yet now, his legend was directly broken by this young man who had just arrived in Dongying. Filou-kun's eyes had already turned red!

With spiritual power circulating inside, he now exerted twelve-fold strength!

He wanted to kill this young man! The one breaking his legend!

With spiritual power circulating, immense force surged from his hands! Even if holding a wooden stick, Filou-kun was confident he could pierce through Xu Fan's body.

But now, the longsword tightly gripped in his hand still hadn't moved an inch closer.

Even Xu Fan, with two fingers tightly pinching the sword tip, showed no sign of strain on his face.

The increasing force made the bend of the sword ever larger, while Filou-kun looked at Xu Fan angrily, unable to comprehend how this young man possessed such strength.

Could it be that his swordsmanship seemed so weak to him?

Ping!

Suddenly, Xu Fan released his fingers, and the sword bounced back with a hum!

Under this momentum, Filou-kun flew off to the side!

With a thud!

This swordsman famous for his rapid sword in Dongying was now embarrassingly slammed to the ground.

"I say, are all you Dongying people so impulsive?"

At this moment, Xu Fan asked a question.

This young man's face remained calm and collected, as if that previous duel had never happened.

This composure couldn't be faked, as everyone watched, instinctively inhaling sharply.

They couldn't help but wonder in their minds how much Xu Fan's cultivation level exceeded Filou-kun's...

For a moment, the raging fire in their chests dampened considerably.

The crowd watched the weapons tightly gripped in their hands, silenced, quickly retracting them while others weren't watching.

Their cultivation level wasn't much different from Filou-kun's, and going up there, it's unlikely to gain anything from Xu Fan.

A wise choice is to stay calm.

"If I stole your family's secret manual, I do indeed have the ability, but..."

"Do you really think I'd be interested in your family's manual as it is currently circulated?"

"Is there any need for an adult to steal and learn a child's gymnastics routine?"

"Brat, you!"

Xu Fan's words almost made the crowd spit blood!

To him, their martial arts, which should have been handed down for generations, was only at the level of a child's gymnastics routine?

This is pure humiliation!

Immediately, a string of curses rang out!

"Pah! Shameless wretch! Steal our manual and dare to speak such words!"

"Do you believe you won't leave Dongying!"

The curses were countless, but after Filou-kun's precedent for deterrence, although they cursed, none dared actually take action.

Famous in Dongying's martial arts world for many years, this reputation gained through decades of effort was too precious to lose to this young man.

At this moment, they just hoped someone would stand up for them.

The thunder was loud, but not even a drop of rain fell. Xu Fan rubbed his temples, feeling the noise from this group was particularly irritating.

Though he did come to Dongying this time for martial arts heritage.

But what he pursued was the heritage of Monk Xuyun from a thousand years ago.

The martial arts of this bunch, honestly, couldn't catch his eye...

"Enough commotion?"

Raising his head, Xu Fan's gaze directly swept across everyone present.

As if some magic power existed, these fierce Dongying martial arts grandmasters, under Xu Fan's gaze, instinctively quieted down.

For some reason, while facing Xu Fan, they couldn't help but think of Filou-kun earlier.

Such an experience, they truly did not want to happen to themselves...

When everyone had quieted down, Xu Fan tapped his chair and said, "Since those present are all martial artists, don't play word games with me."

"If you fight, all you need is to beat me, and anything can be discussed."

"Not only admitting that I stole your family's manual, but even admitting that your child is my own, it's not a problem."

"How about it? Dare to try?"

"..."

Hearing Xu Fan's words, the crowd almost cursed aloud.

This brat, who the hell wants you to admit that my child is yours!

The doubts in their minds didn't dissipate because of Xu Fan's few words. Everyone looked at each other and began discussing what to do.

To go up and fight Xu Fan?

They're really not eager.

All those present were famous masters in Dongying's martial arts world.

Winning against Xu Fan might not be very impressive, but losing, it would be total disgrace.

In their reluctance, after whispering for a long time, this group still couldn't figure out a strategy.

Watching all this, Xu Fan couldn't help but be amused.

Rather than calling this bunch martial arts grandmasters, it's more accurate to call them vanity-seekers.

"Since you don't have the guts, then don't hide here making a fool of yourselves."

With a cold snort, Xu Fan's gaze directly turned to Miyamoto Kuro.

"Miyamoto Kuro, throw this bunch out for me!"
