Chapter 336: You Aren't in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Her sudden appearance startled everyone present. They all became vigilant.

Jiang Fan's kick just now was not light, yet this woman took it head-on with her body and showed no signs of injury. This showed she was anything but simple. Furthermore, her intentions were likely hostile.

However, upon seeing her face clearly, they couldn't help but be struck by her incredible beauty. Her golden hair, curled like waves, reflected dazzling golden light under the sun. On her snow-white face, her features were picturesque, with red lips and pearly white teeth. Her deep-set eye sockets held two beautiful, clear blue eyes.

Her figure was even more stunning; not only did men find it eye-catching, but even the female martial artists showed expressions of envy.

Xu Yining also let out a gasp of admiration: "So beautiful, she's almost as pretty as my elder sister." But then, she looked at Jiang Fan, puzzled, and asked, "Did I just mishear? Did she just call you a beast in human form?"

That word isn't used lightly. Jiang Fan was bewildered. "How am I a beast in human form?" he wondered. "All I did was poison you and then run away, right? Why use such words randomly? Anyone who didn't know would think he had done something terrible to her."

But that wasn't the main point. Jiang Fan stared at the woman, narrowing his eyes. "Junior Sister Zhang Yuxin of the Righteous Thunder Sect," he said. "Aren't you going to greet your senior brothers and sisters?"

Lu Shiyi was marveling at the beautiful young woman who had suddenly appeared. Hearing this, he was startled and frowned. "Zhang Yuxin?" he asked. "What do you mean by that?" A hint of annoyance crossed his face, and he seemed somewhat angry.

Xu Yining said, "Senior Brother Lu, this woman entered Nine Sovereigns City using Senior Sister Zhang Yuxin's token from your sect."

"What?" Lu Shiyi was instantly shocked and furious. He yelled, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating my deceased Junior Sister Zhang Yuxin?"

It turned out that on that day when Leng Gu attacked Jin Yunlie's team, two female disciples unfortunately perished. One of them was Zhang Yuxin.

Seeing her identity exposed, the Demon Empress's daughter remained unruffled. With a half-smile, she pulled out Zhang Yuxin's identity token, weighing it in her palm, and said: "Who am I? Given your status, you aren't worthy of knowing. However, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll be merciful and tell you. My name is Liuli."

As the Demon Empress's daughter, the name Liuli was renowned throughout the demon realm. Which great demon wouldn't show reverence upon hearing her name? Even many human powerhouses greatly feared this name. Unfortunately, she was facing a group of youngsters—human youths who had never dealt with the demon race before.

Therefore, everyone, including Jiang Fan, reacted indifferently. This somewhat annoyed Liuli, who was filled with pride. "A bunch of ignorant fools!" she fumed. "You don't even recognize me!"

Jiang Fan rubbed his nose. He genuinely wondered if there was something wrong with this woman's head. The name Liuli wasn't well-known to begin with, so it was perfectly understandable that they didn't recognize it. Why was she getting angry?

He pointed at the surrounding mist. "You released this mist to gather us here; what is your intention? Surely it's not to reminisce?" If it were anyone else, he would strongly suspect malicious intent. But this woman, who clearly had something wrong with her head, made Jiang Fan unable to figure out her true purpose.

Liuli sneered inwardly, but said aloud, "I heard that the Nine Sects have a multitude of elite disciples. So I wanted to find an opportunity to spar with you all." She understood the principle of boiling a frog slowly. If she immediately announced her intention to slaughter them, they would all flee in terror. Although the mist would guide them back, it would still waste time, wouldn't it? It was better to pacify them with the pretense of a spar. Then, during the spar, she could punch them one by one and smash them to pieces!

"A spar?" Jiang Fan felt his intelligence was being insulted. How could all this elaborate effort be just for a spar? There must be other motives.

For such dangerous tasks, Jiang Fan was always eager to step aside, saying: "Senior Brother Lu, you are the chief disciple of the Righteous Thunder Sect and the strongest. You go first." Lu Shiyi wasn't a fool either. He naturally understood that Liuli's so-called spar had a hostile undertone. He was just about to trick Jiang Fan into testing her strength first. Who knew this scoundrel was even more cunning than him?

However, before Lu Shiyi could refuse, Liuli looked at Jiang Fan, laughing in anger. "I think you should go first!" she said. Among this group, the one she wanted to smash to death the most was Jiang Fan! She didn't even know what Jiang Fan had done to her. To this day, she still felt a dull ache in her abdomen. Thinking of this, she was overcome with shame and indignation, and her desire to kill Jiang Fan grew even stronger.

Jiang Fan was speechless. This woman really held a grudge! Knowing he couldn't escape, he braced himself and stepped forward, cupping his hands. "I am truly sorry about what happened last night," he said. "But since it has already happened, I can only try my best to compensate you. If you're willing to accept, then accept. If not, there's nothing I can do."

Liuli was trembling with rage. "Fine! Fine! Fine!" Liuli pointed at Jiang Fan, her eyes blazing with fury. "You'd better use all your strength against me!" She swore she would blast this scumbag into oblivion! Not a single complete bone would be left in this world.

Jiang Fan had a headache. With the opponent so aggressive, he naturally didn't dare to be careless. He said, "You should be careful yourself." He subtly activated his Dragon-Elephant Battle Physique, and with his high-grade protective armor, he was prepared. In a spar, he would at least be in an unassailable position.

Liuli's face turned cold, and she spoke no more nonsense. With a push of her feet, a finger-width crack appeared on the ground! Her figure shot forward, compressing the air, causing it to crackle.

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted. So fast! But he reacted in time, immediately unleashing his fists like dragons. "Nine Forms of Battling Heaven! Heaven-Shattering!" he roared. His physical strength was fully unleashed at this moment. It was enough to contend head-on with a third-level Core Formation cultivator without falling behind!

Seeing this, Liuli sneered inwardly. She clenched her two delicate fists. The air was compressed, creating a deafening sound like exploding firecrackers.

The two sets of fists collided in a flash of sparks. Absolute power generated an astonishing wave of air upon impact. Jiang Fan suddenly felt an unimaginable immense force, which shook him so much he almost lost his balance. A burning, aching sensation spread from his arms throughout his entire body. He even started to doubt his own body techniques. He had actually fought to a draw with a young girl?

However, Liuli wasn't faring any better. The burning pain in her fists made her grimace. Her two large blue eyes were wide open, staring. She looked as if she had seen a ghost, with an expression of existential doubt: "Aren't you in the Foundation Establishment realm? Since when could a human from the Foundation Establishment realm contend in physical strength with her, a descendant of the Demon Empress?"
