The Elder wanted nothing more than to kill Xu Fan, but that didn't mean he was a fool who could be manipulated by others. Who did Lin Hong think she was to dare and boss around in front of him?

At this moment, Lin Hong stood there dazedly, holding her flushed cheek, looking at the furious Elder, lowering her head deeply.

Lin Hong's earlier intervention was not to save Song Ling'er, but rather to provoke the Elder's anger, hoping he would kill the two of them! Lin Hong couldn't stand Xu Fan, even more so she couldn't stand Song Ling'er!

How could an ant without status or background be more outstanding than her Lin Hong? How could Song Ling'er already become a First Grade Alchemist? Women's jealousy was something Lin Hong demonstrated vividly.

Now, Lin Hong glared at Xu Fan with extreme resentment, while the Elder also stared at Xu Fan, making the atmosphere instantly tense to the extreme.

Facing their venomous gazes, Xu Fan remained incredibly calm, gently patting Song Ling'er's shoulder, soothingly saying, "Ling'er, today's matter has nothing to do with you. Stand behind me."

Song Ling'er, in the moment of danger, stood bravely, willing to sacrifice herself to protect Xu Fan, which touched Xu Fan deeply.

Song Ling'er was skilled in alchemy but weak in martial prowess, and now that the Elder was determined to kill Xu Fan, Song Ling'er's presence would only distract him.

Indeed, the Elder's strength was formidable. From the aura alone, it was clear he was at least a Zhiwei Realm expert. Facing such an opponent, even Xu Fan couldn't be entirely confident.

However, a true man knows what must be done and what not. No one can guarantee a one hundred percent success rate in everything; even if he were to die, Xu Fan would stand and face this battle.

Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, Song Ling'er initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Xu Fan's resolute gaze, her eyes reddened slightly, and she obediently nodded, stepping aside to stand by.

Song Ling'er understood that she was just a small First Grade Alchemist within this Elixir Pharmacy, an insignificant existence. Even if she insisted, she couldn't save Xu Fan.

But Song Ling'er was aware of her talent; given enough time to grow, there was a chance she might one day become a high-level Alchemist.

What formidable influence would a high-level Alchemist wield? With a single command, countless Zhiwei Realm experts would die for them! Befriending a high-level Alchemist benefits cultivation and could even grant several extra lives! Such temptation was irresistible.

Now, standing by, Song Ling'er looked at Xu Fan's back and silently vowed that if Xu Fan were to die today, she would take down the entire Elixir Pharmacy and Pill Divine Valley as his burial!

The Elder and others couldn't hear the girl's vows; seeing Xu Fan making Song Ling'er step aside, the Elder was slightly surprised, yet a grim look appeared on his face.

"Didn't think you had such determination, but this is the end! How do you plan to die next?"

Saying this, the Elder took a step forward, an overwhelming aura flooding out, engulfing the entire space as a group of Vajra Realm guards moved to encircle Xu Fan.

In an instant, Xu Fan seemed to be trapped in a desperate situation.

Yet, in this predicament, Xu Fan seemed completely unaware of his circumstances. Instead, he coldly smiled at the Elder and said, "With today's actions of the Elixir Pharmacy, I truly understand what the words 'shameless' mean! Within three moves, I will take your dog's life!"

"Three moves? Take my dog's life?"

Xu Fan's words left everyone stunned, even the Zhiwei Realm Elder stared at Xu Fan, dumbfounded.

Though the Elder was part of the Pill Divine Valley and not skilled in combat, he was still a Zhiwei Realm expert. And Xu Fan? Merely an Entering Dao, a small realm was like a giant chasm, let alone being an entire realm apart!

Xu Fan and the Elder were like heaven and earth, the Elder the celestial cloud, and Xu Fan just the earth's mud!

What gave Xu Fan such audacious courage, to claim he would kill the Elder in three moves, amidst such a difference in strength?

"Boy, I have lived for a century, yet never have I seen someone as arrogant as you!"

The Elder finally regained his composure and said sinisterly to Xu Fan, "You better finish me off in three moves, or I will make you wish for death!"

Xu Fan said no more, as empty words had no meaning. Against someone like the Elder, unless crushed by power or force, they would never realize their mistakes.

"Watch this, you cur!"

At this moment, Xu Fan coldly smiled, the Dragon Elephant Art activated within him, and raging spiritual power burst from his fist as Xu Fan's figure instantly appeared before the Elder.

Bam!

The Elder had no time to react, not even to release his Domain, when Xu Fan's punch sent him flying backward, crashing heavily against the wall, his chest slightly sunken, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

How violent was Xu Fan's punch? Even if the Elder was a Zhiwei Realm expert, his body's defense was set when entering Vajra Realm; the spiritual-grade Vajra body's weaknesses were evident to Xu Fan's Golden Right Eye.

With a single punch, the Elder was defeated.

This scene shocked everyone; they had not even caught a clear sight of Xu Fan's movement, and in a blink, the Elder lay bleeding.

Xu Fan stood where the Elder had been, hands folded, sky-blue ice energy swirling around him as if a war deity.

Song Ling'er gazed at Xu Fan, eyes filled with admiration, "Brother Xu is really amazing!"

Unskilled in cultivation, Song Ling'er couldn't grasp what happened, but the Vajra Realm guards who surrounded Xu Fan were unfazed.

Xu Fan had struck the Elder away; why didn't he capitalize on it? Because it was meaningless! The Elder was a Zhiwei Realm expert; the moment he got serious, releasing his Domain, Xu Fan would become prey.

"It seems the bones have grown rusty from staying too long in this Alchemy Pavilion!"

The Elder spoke softly, taking one step at a time in mid-air towards Xu Fan, an overwhelming aura instantly engulfing him.
