Bai Fan was very strong.
Unlike with Brother Li, Xu Yuan saw the entire battle between Bai Fan and Shen Weixiu from beginning to end.
During the fight,
Bai Fan was always surrounded by a circle of black viscous liquid. This substance could change at will, forming armor or turning into a sharp blade, and it had a very strong corrosive nature!
Just after a few exchanges, the chief of the Taiqing Tao Sect's indigo long knife was corroded by Bai Fan's black substance, losing all its spiritual essence.
At that moment, the many disciples present were all exhilarated, thinking that a swordsman without his sword would have his combat power halved.
But the battle that followed made everyone realize
that Shen Weixiu's forte was not with swords, but with attribute-based Daoist magic, especially in mastering thunder magic.
Bai Fan, actually, did not need to die.
