The Ancient Seal Is About to Break
Watching Bi Fan's carefree smile, Xu Tinghan's eyes flickered with unease.
The Man in Black stood at his side, equally shaken by Bi Fan's brazen appearance. He swallowed, then leaned close to Xu Tinghan's ear and asked in a whisper, "Brother Tinghan, did he come alone?"
Xu Tinghan narrowed his eyes and shook his head without hesitation. "Impossible. No matter how arrogant he is, he wouldn't dare show up here alone. Even if he were weaker than us, we couldn't possibly fail to handle just one man."
"But..." The Man in Black glanced upward warily. To keep Bi Fan from hearing him, he raised a barrier of spiritual power around them before lowering his voice. "But didn't Lord Jia Nan order us not to take his life for now?"
Xu Tinghan said solemnly, "That's a secret only people at our level in the Devil Race know. He doesn't know the whole story, so he'd never risk his life like this."
The Man in Black nodded, dispelled the barrier, and looked up.
Suppressing his astonishment, Xu Tinghan raised an eyebrow and watched Bi Fan with a grave expression. "Looks like you're very confident in your strength."
Bi Fan was still smiling. He folded his hands behind his head and said in his usual calm voice, "I wasn't this confident before. It wasn't until you put me at the top of the Hunting List that I realized how much you value me!"
Xu Tinghan snorted. "You just got lucky beating someone from the Mo Fu Clan. It's nothing to be proud of."
"True. It's nothing special." Bi Fan smiled faintly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "I only made you lose your patience and feel you needed an overwhelming victory to steady your troops.
