However, the before and after are also very contradictory.
Ren Ruochu couldn't say for sure either.
Everything, in reality, still depends on what happens in this great battle of the five-year agreement later.
Whether Xu Fengqiu's things are merely theoretical or truly useful, the actual battle will reveal.
If they are truly useful, then his strength may still be underestimated.
The two of them also walked out together.
Outside of the Haotian Sect was already filled with people.
And experts from all walks of life were also waiting for this great battle of the five-year agreement.
Will Chen Fan accumulate strength and achieve a reversal, or will Fang Qinchu inevitably suppress Chen Fan, as everyone traditionally believes?
No one knows for sure.
Noon.
The agreed-upon time had also arrived.
Haotian Sect Master Fang Wenjian and other experts were also standing there, waiting for Chen Fan's arrival.
Just as noon arrived, a figure also appeared in everyone's sight.
It was none other than Chen Fan.
"That's Chen Fan!"
"It's Chen Fan. In these five years, he seems to have matured a bit."
"It seems that he also looks quite confident."
"Yes, he must have considerable confidence to dare to come."
"But... the gap between the God Lord and God Emperor realms is not so easy to cross, especially since it's Fang Qinchu."
"..."
Chen Fan knew that everyone's eyes were on him.
He quite liked this feeling of being watched.
Of course, he wouldn't force the creation of such opportunities and occasions just for this feeling.
He wasn't that naive.
Xu Fengqiu stood there with his hands behind his back.
The news about Xu Fengqiu being the Fourteenth Elder of the Haotian Sect had also spread out.
It just wasn't that widespread yet.
The shock wasn't that great yet.
Gradually, it would become greater and greater.
Fang Qinchu stood at a high place, her eyes watching Chen Fan walk towards the huge martial arts arena in front of the Haotian Sect.
And Chen Fan noticed Chen Ling'er in a certain place in the crowd.
Chen Fan then walked over.
Then, his eyes looked towards Fang Qinchu and the others.
"Five years ago, your sect tore up my marriage agreement with Fang Qinchu because I, Chen Fan, was far inferior, causing me, Chen Fan, to lose face. I, Chen Fan, then vowed to reclaim the face of that year. Therefore, I made a five-year agreement here. After five years, I would come to your sect to compete with Fang Qinchu."
"Now, the five-year agreement has arrived, and I, Chen Fan, have also come here to fulfill the five-year agreement. Today's battle is also the motivation for me, Chen Fan, these five years. How can a man's dignity be easily violated?"
Chen Fan's words were impassioned and justified.
Whoosh—
At this time, Fang Qinchu descended from the sky and landed in front of Chen Fan.
Chen Fan had a kind of Jianghu aura.
Although he was quite handsome.
But because he had indeed been fighting and killing outside for a long time, that kind of Jianghu aura was relatively heavy.
And Fang Qinchu was also beautiful and had a good temperament. Although she wasn't pampered, she was also the Haotian Sect's jewel.
Standing together, to be honest, it was indeed a bit awkward.
"Chen Fan, I admit that you have indeed grown very quickly in the past few years, making people look at you with new eyes. However, five years ago, you were not as good as me. Today, you will inevitably not be as good as me. Even after the next five years, you will still not be as good as me."
Chen Fan stared at Fang Qinchu in front of him.
"Good! We won't discuss the next five years for now. Then, whether I am as good as you in these five years, everyone will see in a moment."
Fang Qinchu shook her head: "You have indeed grown quickly, but you cannot cross the gap between the God Lord and God Emperor realms."
"In these years, I, Chen Fan, have killed so many God Emperors that one hand can't even count them all. Miss Fang says that I can't cross the gap between me and you in this great realm?"
Chen Fan looked at Fang Qinchu in front of him and sneered as he asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"What? Chen Fan has even killed several God Emperor realm experts?"
"How is that possible? God Lord killing God Emperor? Unless there are some special means. Killing and winning are two different concepts. If the God Emperor doesn't want to die, even if he's no match for you, the God Lord, running should be no problem, right?"
"This is true. Rumors have already appeared that Chen Fan became famous in one fell swoop because he killed a certain God Emperor realm expert."
"..."
Fang Qinchu said indifferently: "However, in today's battle, neither you nor I will use spiritual weapons. Then, your so-called means of being able to kill God Emperors are probably gone, right?"
"If killing God Emperors relies entirely on spiritual weapons, then my appointment today, Chen Fan, is a joke," Chen Fan said indifferently.
Everyone in their hearts also felt that it made sense.
Chen Fan definitely didn't just rely on spiritual weapons. He definitely had something of his own.
It could be seen that he seemed to be indeed confident.
Fang Qinchu then said: "Then let me see what strength you have, and how much you have improved over the years."
Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Today, I, Chen Fan, will wash away the humiliation that you, Haotian Sect, gave me five years ago!"
"I hope you can do it."
Fang Qinchu said indifferently.
Chen Fan secretly clenched his fists.
Fang Wenjian then said: "The rules of this competition, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition as much as possible, both parties are prohibited from using any spiritual weapons, talismans, elixirs, and other means. Everything depends on their own strength to fight. The swords used by both parties must ensure the same grade. Chen Fan, do you have any questions?"
"No problem!"
Chen Fan said indifferently.
"This sword, will you use your own, or will my Haotian Sect provide it?"
Whoosh—
Chen Fan stretched out his hand, and flames condensed in his palm. Then, the flames gathered into a sword.
"Just use this one."
"Good!"
Fang Qinchu felt the power of Chen Fan's sword.
Then, she stretched out her hand.
A sword also appeared in her hand.
The swords of both sides were of the same grade.
Then, Fang Wenjian waved his hand.
A tower flew out.
This tower released a powerful barrier in the void.
The barrier enveloped a large area.
This was the battlefield for the two of them.
Fang Wenjian stood there with his hands behind his back.
In fact, he also had some trepidation.
Of course, he believed in his daughter.
But as far as he knew, this Chen Fan was also very powerful in these years. He grew so quickly, not only because of his powerful talent, but he must have had his powerful means.
Although his daughter was definitely not weak, in some aspects, she must be far inferior to Chen Fan.
The advantage of the God Emperor realm was certainly great, but...
To be honest, Chen Fan's ability to fight across levels was indeed not weak.
"Chen Fan, do you have anything else to say?"
Fang Wenjian asked.
Tearing up the marriage contract back then was indeed a problem with his Haotian Sect.
But to be honest, how many people could do this kind of thing, allowing Fang Qinchu to marry Chen Fan, who was already "fallen" at the time, when the Haotian Sect was such a large sect in the Great Wilderness Domain?
"Nothing."
"Then, the competition begins."
