Chapter 210: Battle against Saran
Xu Fan's guess was correct. Taking advantage of the cover of the white fog, Saran did attack Zhang Xiaohou, but he did not intend to kill him.

Instead, she secretly injected a special crystal substance into Zhang Xiaohou's body. She obtained that crystal substance by chance. There might be some impurities mixed in it, but it had the miraculous effect of promoting cultivation without any side effects.

Or, killing Zhang Xiaohou and destroying his soul is only one option. If Zhang Xiaohou cannot be destroyed along with his soul, he will be silenced before his plan is fully implemented.

Zhang Xiaohou, who was hit by that substance, fainted on the spot. Then, stimulated by the mysterious crystal, Zhang Xiaohou's intermediate-level nebula autonomously launched an attack on the high-level galaxy.

The energy for impacting the galaxy is completely provided by the crystals of mysterious substances, which almost guarantees that Zhang Xiaohou, who has fully cultivated to the intermediate level, will be able to break through successfully.

However, relying solely on the mysterious substance to provide energy is too slow to break through to a higher level. Coupled with the interference of some impurities in the material crystals, it may take Zhang Xiaohou months or even years to break through.

Moreover, the breakthrough process cannot be accelerated or forcibly stopped by external force, otherwise Zhang Xiaohou's nebula will explode, and his spiritual world will be blown to pieces.

Saran's goal was to delay until the dust settled, even if Zhang Xiaohou figured out a way to crack it.

"Perhaps catching you will help us solve our current dilemma!"

As Xu Fan raised his hand, a star map appeared in his hand. Countless ice chains condensed around him and flew towards Saran, and his figure quickly approached Saran.

"We met once three years ago. This time I must see your true face!"

The ice chain attacked Saran like an ice snake, but Saran simply slapped it a few times to resolve Xu Fan's attack. However, all this was still within Xu Fan's expectations, and he punched Saran directly.

Saran blocked with his backhand, but the huge force of Xu Fan's fist still surprised Saran. Saran couldn't help but take a step back, and then an ice coffin suddenly appeared in front of Saran.

Frozen coffin! High-level ice magic!
Saran frowned slightly and gently clenched his left hand, and the ice coffin instantly broke into pieces. Then he fixed his eyes on Xu Fan.

Xu Fan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain and his eyes became dazed for a moment, but he soon regained his clarity. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a golden light fell from the sky. Saran dodged the light arrow in a flash.

The exquisite pendant emitted a faint light, and the consumed mana was instantly replenished. A kind of moistening and pampering filled Xu Fan's spiritual world, and the damage caused by Saran's full-strength attack on the mind was gradually healed.

"Has the Psychic System become powerful enough to merge with the Spatial System? It's a pity that you can't kill me with one strike!"

Xu Fan wiped away the tears and blood from the corners of his eyes. Saran's attack just now was indeed very powerful. Even when he had taken all the necessary precautions, it directly knocked down nearly half of his health bar.

"If it doesn't work once, then twice!"

Saran's eyes fixed, and he used the mind shock again. Xu Fan groaned again, and this time not only did tears flow from his eyes, but blood also flowed from his ears.

"I've said it before, as long as you can't kill me with one strike, I can fight you to the end! Although my spiritual realm is only the fifth realm and I can't actively transform it into an attack, I believe that it is not without cost for you to attack me!"

Xu Fan stared at Saran closely, and with a flip of his wrist, a blood-red spear appeared in his hand. Upon hearing his words, Saran's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, psychic shock is essentially a collision of spirits. I will indeed suffer a little recoil, but if you want to hurt me with the recoil, you must endure at least a hundred psychic shocks!" Saran said lightly, and then launched the psychic shock again, and Xu Fan stabbed Saran at the same time.

Saran dodged the thrust of the Fiery Blood Flowing Mist Spear by leaning sideways, then reached out and grasped the handle of the gun. Her intuition told her that this gun was definitely not an ordinary one.

But this time the recoil from the mental shock suddenly increased by nearly one-fold, and Saran became a little dazed for a moment.

Xu Fan seized this opportunity, shook his hands, and the tip of the gun drew a flower and stabbed directly into Saran's chest. Saran hurriedly dodged, but Xu Fan didn't mean to stab her heart. He made a feint and the tip of the gun passed Saran's face.

Saran's face suddenly changed, and a golden light flashed across his body. The seal that ignored level and cultivation was successful. Although it was only for a moment, Saran broke free from the control, stood up and retreated violently to create some distance, but all this was meaningless now.

At that moment, a golden eye appeared on Xu Fan's forehead. When Saran was completely off guard, he finally saw the appearance of Saran's soul.

No matter how disguised, the appearance of the soul will not change suddenly, and Saran's appearance also activated the memory that Xu Fan seemed to have forgotten.

Twenty years ago, it was this woman who picked herself up in the snow and pulled her back from the brink of death.

When Xu Fan regained his memory, he was about three years old. At that time, Saran had changed his appearance and remained like that for three years before suddenly disappearing, leaving him and Ye Xinxia behind.

Saran saw the golden eyes on Xu Fan's forehead slowly disappearing and immediately realized that something was wrong. She knew very well that it would be difficult for her to hide in front of Xu Fan.

When she felt Xu Fan's strong mental fluctuations and the changes in his eyes, Saran immediately realized that Xu Fan seemed to have seen through her identity.

"What do you see?"

Saran's voice was no longer disguised and turned into a gentle female voice, even sounding kind.

"I saw a familiar person. I only met her once. When I thought of her again, she had changed a little!"

Fluctuations of plant-based magic energy emanated from Xu Fan's body, and then countless green vines and dwarf trees suddenly erupted, almost surrounding the surroundings and blocking out the outside world from prying eyes.

"It seems that this person is very important to you, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to create a space for them to talk!"

Saran nodded slightly. She had thought that Xu Fan would become even more eager to fight after recognizing her, but at this moment, Xu Fan's eagerness to fight faded instead.

"She has done me a great favor. No matter what she has done, I can at most defeat her but I will never kill her with my own hands!"

Xu Fan sighed and put away the spear in his hand. Now that the relationship has been confirmed, it is time to take advantage of it.

"So, what should you call me?"

Saran smiled, and she suddenly had the idea of ​​pulling Xu Fan into the Black Church. No, it was not as simple as letting him join the Black Church. Perhaps she could let him plot for the position of the Pope of the Black Church!
