Chapter 440 Solo Challenge Against Hongwu Sect Five

For Ye Fan, he had been waiting for this very opportunity he created for far too long.

Since he knew that Tong He had only recently broken through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm, he speculated that Tong He hadn't consolidated his realm and couldn't bring into play the full strength of a Half-step Gang Qi realm master. Therefore, he daringly launched a surprise attack, using "killing intent fills the sky" to clash head-on with Tong He.

In doing so, he never thought about succeeding with the ambush, he just wanted to reveal his strength to Tong He—showing himself as inferior—while ensuring that his own life wasn't in danger.
