Had Chen Fei become a Supreme Realm powerhouse?
But the two sides had clearly been separated for less than three hours, and at the time, Chen Fei had ventured into danger alone, responsible for drawing away the Ninth-Order powerhouse pursuing them.
Under those circumstances, the Xian Race's greatest hope had merely been for Chen Fei to return safe and sound. As for anything else—when he was already being hunted by a Ninth-Order powerhouse, what else could they possibly think of?
Yet Chen Fei seemed to always be like this, giving them an enormous fright when they least expected it, followed by joy that only belatedly caught up to them.
In the Life and Death Decision at Nansha Valley, he had revealed a Mid-Stage Eighth-Order cultivation and crossed ranks to slay a Late-Stage Eighth-Order opponent, matching a Peak-Stage Eighth-Order powerhouse.
