Chapter 968: Chapter 968: The Gatekeeper Actually Gave Up?

"You flatter me, it’s primarily because your formation is nothing special."

Ning Fan turned his head to look at the Taoist Temple, glanced around, and frowned, "Is this the entrance to Kunlun?"

"You’re also searching for Kunlun?" The old man frowned, "I am the Kunlun Gatekeeper. If you want to enter Kunlun, you must first pass my test!"

"I see, then let’s begin."

Ning Fan didn’t waste words and got ready to start fighting immediately.

Su Qingcheng had already entered Kunlun; he didn’t have much time to delay. If he arrived too late and something happened, he would blame himself for life.

"Humph, you seem quite confident." The elderly man scoffed coldly, "Let’s see if you have the skills to get past me!"

With that, the old man took a deep breath, and a vigorous power surged out, causing his robe to billow instantly.

He sent out a palm strike, and the formidable power turned into an invisible palm print, shooting towards Ning Fan.

The power he displayed now was even more formidable than when he had dealt with the three men in black!

"It turns out he was holding back when he fought us!"

"Too terrifying, what kind of strength does this old man possess?"

"Young man, do not try to resist! This isn’t something you can withstand!"

Although the trio had been rebuked by Shuang’er earlier, they did not wish to see Ning Fan, a fellow Martial Artist from the Secular World, die at the hands of the elderly man.

Facing this ferocious strike, Shuang’er and Huo Erba stepped forward and struck out together.

"Bang!"

A muffled booming sound erupted, and the two’s faces turned pale simultaneously; then they were forcefully knocked back several steps, yet still unable to dissipate the remaining force.

It was still Ning Fan who stepped forward, caught both of them, and then counteracted the remaining force of the strike with a backhand.

"The opponent’s strength surpasses you by far, don’t force yourselves."

Ning Fan directed the two to step back and moved forward himself to meet the old man head-on.

"How reckless! How dare you fight me?"

Seeing Ning Fan had no intention of giving up and was ready to battle, the elderly man grunted and also advanced with large strides.

"Bang bang bang!"

The deep thudding sounds reverberated, dispersing energies instantly destroyed everything around.

Grasses flew and stones burst!

Their movements were as quick as lightning, leaving only trails of afterimages flitting through the air.

The three men in black were all dumbstruck, wondering if they were seeing things.

"Did you see that clearly?"

"Can’t see clearly, not at all..."

"Damn, this kid’s strength... is so powerful!"

To their shock, the young man they had encountered at the foot of the mountain possessed the strength to stand up against the Kunlun Gatekeeper.

Especially when they had considered taking him as a disciple, now they felt the blood rush to their faces.

It was utterly embarrassing!

"However, is this young brother a match for the Kunlun Gatekeeper?" the man in black muttered worriedly, "This is the Kunlun Gatekeeper after all!"

"He should be able to, since he managed to pass the formation earlier. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to defeat him," the man in green hesitated and said uncertainly.

The man in white snorted disdainfully, arms crossed, "Maybe he used some tricks to break through. This Kunlun Gatekeeper isn’t that easy to defeat."

Shuang’er glanced at them and confidently said, "I tell you, my master will not lose! Just watch closely!"

Boom!

As soon as Shuang’er finished speaking, a tremendous booming sound erupted, and two figures shot out from the smoke.

One figure landed towards the Taoist Temple, sliding uncontrollably on the ground all the way to the temple door before barely stopping.

The three men in black showed a surprised expression.

It was the old Taoist!

The other figure floated down from the air, astonishingly it was Ning Fan.

His posture was much more graceful than the old Taoist’s.

"You, your strength... how can this be?"

The old man gasped for air heavily, his face full of disbelief.

He had almost used his full strength in the attack; even a peak Transcendent Realm expert would have been severely injured by him.

But this young man not only fully blocked it, but his fierce attack even forced him to retreat!

His strength must undoubtedly be far above one’s own!

But how could this be?

Since when did such a strong contender appear in the Secular World?

Ning Fan, with his hands behind his back, spoke indifferently, "My strength is none of your concern; tell me how to enter Kunlun if you don’t want to die."

The old man’s expression darkened, falling into silence.

Ning Fan thought the old man would fight to the death but was caught off guard when he unexpectedly said, "The entrance to Kunlun is behind me, inside this Taoist Temple."

Seeing the formidable old Taoist opt to yield, the three men in black were all stunned.

The Kunlun Gatekeeper had actually admitted defeat?

How powerful was this young man?

Ning Fan was also surprised: "I thought you would defend the entrance to Kunlun to the death."

The old Taoist sneered twice, "Indeed, I’m no match for you, and fighting to the death might not even stop you. Why should I make such futile efforts? After all, I am just a Gatekeeper."

"Besides, no matter how strong you are, whatever you wish to do inside Kunlun, relying solely on your current strength might not be enough to fulfill your wishes."
