239: keep Calm

Jiang Shenyi inexplicably grew nervous.

He greatly anticipated Xiao Fan's "Intent," but... what if something went wrong midway?

At this moment, Demon War God was sitting in a 6D cinema with a group of old men, eating popcorn and watching his sons and daughters' trials, occasionally cursing.

"Are they pigs? How can they fight like that? It's making my blood boil! I really want to go fight for them!"

"How could they be injured by such a stupid opponent?"

"I don't want to watch anymore. I'm having a heart attack from these useless brats."

Someone on the side mocked, "Give it a rest. If you went back to this point in time at eighteen, you definitely couldn't beat your son. Don't you know how trash you were back then?"

"This is called Bloodline Legacy, right?"

The Demon War God laughed heartily because Lin Lianshen and his daughter-in-law's combined attack was quite impressive and didn't embarrass him.

Just then, his phone rang. He cursed, "Who the hell is calling me at such an exciting moment?"

He looked down.

Jiang Shenyi!

"Ahem." Demon War God's expression instantly turned serious as he answered the phone.

After hearing what his father-in-law said, he suddenly stood up, looked at his brothers beside him, and urgently said, "Stop watching this! Go watch my son-in-law fight Ouyang Guanyue!"

"My son-in-law has manifested an 'Intent' that's even fiercer than the Great General's!"

"The Great General told us to keep a close eye on Xiao Fan and ensure absolutely nothing goes wrong!"

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately lost interest in watching their sons' battles.

An "Intent" fiercer than the Great General's!

What would that be like?

Hurry!

...

Shanhai City had no shortage of training grounds; each was incredibly vast, with no protective measures around, so anyone could come and watch others fight.

At this moment, the night was quiet, and there were no spectators around Xiao Fan and Ouyang Guanyue because they hadn't announced this duel.

The two stood facing each other.

Ouyang Guanyue's expression was solemn, not from worrying about losing to Xiao Fan, but from worrying about whether Xiao Fan's abnormal Intent would go awry, even wondering if they should just not fight at all.

Now, Xiao Fan was like the world's most expensive porcelain, and everyone was afraid of bumping or breaking him.

Furthermore, after hearing Ouyang Guanyue's words, Xiao Fan's expression did not relax; his brow furrowed even tighter.

This meant his inner burden had grown heavier.

This made Ouyang Guanyue feel very tricky. He had thought his beautiful speech would resolve Xiao Fan's inner turmoil, but it seemed to have had the opposite effect.

Yet, he didn't know what else to say.

Because he felt what he had just said was correct!

It was very good!

Everyone who heard it completely agreed!

"What are you thinking?" Ouyang Guanyue asked.

But Xiao Fan shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's just start fighting."

Seeing Xiao Fan unwilling to speak, Ouyang Guanyue said in a deep voice, "If I defeat you, will you tell me what you're thinking? How about it?"

"Okay." Xiao Fan nodded.

The two stood facing each other, three thousand meters apart, the battle about to begin!

In the sky, Demon War God and the others were already in position, but everyone's expression was not very good, some were solemn.

They felt Xiao Fan's Intent; it was indeed incredibly abnormal!

But Xiao Fan's condition didn't seem good; his Intent was still in its nascent form, yet it seemed to be beyond Xiao Fan's control.

The "Intent" floated around his body, subtly showing signs of losing control.

This was absolutely not a good thing!

Intent arises from the mind; if the Intent has problems, then the mindset has problems.

What exactly was Xiao Fan thinking?

Suddenly.

"Rumble!"

A startling thunderbolt struck down near Demon War God and the others. Looking up, the sky suddenly became covered in dark clouds, obscuring all starlight.

A sudden downpour arrived, with lightning and thunder, as if an angry Dragon was roaring!

This world seemed to be furious!

No... that's not right!

The world seemed to be purifying something, and also welcoming the arrival of something!

Below.

The battle had already erupted, and the two instantly rushed towards each other.

Although the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, it didn't affect Ouyang Guanyue's vision.

The pure white Moonlight Sword Intent swept past like ripples, as fast as aurora.

The longsword in Ouyang Guanyue's hand hummed like a Dragon's roar, each thrust and parry imbued with majestic Sword Intent.

Xiao Fan instantly entered the No Self Realm and began to dodge, but the Sword Intent was overwhelming, leaving Xiao Fan nowhere to hide.

He directly used teleportation, passing through the dense sword light, appearing right in front of Ouyang Guanyue's face.

The Devil King's fist, wrapped in black cloth, carried a fierce sonic boom, and the powerful energy contained within it was even enough to scatter the raindrops.

"Boom!"

Fist and sword met, Ouyang Guanyue's sword-wielding right hand trembled, his face slightly changed, and he instantly retreated dozens of steps.

He guessed correctly; Xiao Fan was very angry at this moment.

His strength was immense!

But Xiao Fan gave the opponent no chance to breathe, following up like a thunderbolt.

At this moment, a light suddenly burst forth in Ouyang Guanyue's pupils. Above the sky, a beam of moonlight shot down, illuminating his entire body.

At this moment, his speed, strength, and reaction all ascended to a new level!

"Boom!"

With another loud bang, the two were evenly matched, landing at opposite ends of the battlefield.

But neither stopped; the moment they halted their figures, they continued to rush towards each other!

"Moonlight Splitting Slash!"

In an instant, the longsword in Ouyang Guanyue's hand shone brightly, actually carving a full moon in the center of the battlefield. Half of Xiao Fan's body was struck by the full moon, and a thick, crimson wound appeared from his shoulder to his thigh.

How tough was Xiao Fan's Physical Body!

Yet, it couldn't withstand Ouyang Guanyue's sword!

The lethality was evident!

But Ouyang Guanyue's face was solemn because he now clearly realized that if he hadn't been imbued with "Intent," he might genuinely not have been able to defeat Xiao Fan!

But unfortunately, he had it!

Seeing no signs of Xiao Fan retreating or falling, Ouyang Guanyue pressed his advantage, roaring amidst the torrential rain, "What exactly are you angry about!?"

Xiao Fan remained silent, but his eyes were like those of an ancient Vicious Beast. Facing the longsword, he directly swung his fist upwards, not even using a weapon!

"Sizzle!"

Another line of blood spurted out, adding another wound to Xiao Fan's body.

But Xiao Fan didn't even pause, continuing to charge forward like a madman!

"Since you're asking for it, don't blame me for not holding back!" Ouyang Guanyue's eyes narrowed, and the Sword Intent in his hand swept out wildly.

But at this moment, Xiao Fan didn't dodge at all, taking the damage with his Physical Body!

In just an instant, blood flowed freely, and flesh flew!

"Why!?" Ouyang Guanyue was completely bewildered, and even Demon War God and the others in the sky exchanged glances.

This was not Xiao Fan's usual combat power; he was intentionally taking damage.

Why would he do this!?

The heavy rain had already filled the sunken training ground, and the water level gradually rose, covering Xiao Fan's feet.

He braced himself against the cold ground, dragging his battered body, slowly stood up, raised his head, and murmured, "To stay calm."

"In battles before, when I felt fatigued, I would intentionally use pain to restore my spirit and reason."

"Because only when absolutely rational can one make the correct choices."
