Chapter 22 - Deadly Breath (2/2)

So thinking, Linbao picked up his speed. However, he heard Chen Fan’s cold voice behind him: “Don’t you think it’s too late to call it quits?”

Chen Fan drew large gulp of air, puffing his chest up, and then blew all those stored air out of his lungs.

A ray of creamy white light formed in the air and shot at Linbao like a bullet. The white light glided across the air with incredible speed, and it landed squarely at the back of Linbao’s back.

Linbao felt he was dealt a blow by a giant hammer from behind. Suddenly, his world turned dark as he lost balance. After he stumbled a few feet, he hit a wall and collapsed to the ground.

“He formed the plus of the Internal Forces by breathing into the air! How ingenious!” Guo Wei spoke in a trembling voice.

By then, he had no more doubts about the power of this boy.

Although he looked like a high school kid, he had already reached the precipice of martial arts: Transcendent State.

Without seeing it for himself, he would never have believed that a teenage boy would be a Transcendent Master. Even a grandmaster who was under thirty would be considered one in a hundred-year talent, much less a high school boy being the Transcendent Master.”

Zhou Tianhao finally managed to gather himself and struggled to his feet. He hurried to Linbao who was still paralyzed by pain, and then he kicked him in the side with an ugly grin.

“a.s.shole! If I could destroy you years ago, I can do it again now! Hahaha. I will f.u.c.king kill you!”

Suddenly, there was a faint voice rose behind him: “Linbao is not dead yet; he simply pa.s.sed out. Don’t wake him up.”

Zhou Tianhao’s face suddenly paled, and the smile on his face evaporated as quickly as it had appeared.

He turned around and said, “Brother Chen, no, no, I mean Master Chen. Why don’t you kill him then?”

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said: “You have seen how tough he is. How am I supposed to kill him with a single breath?”

He then walked to Linbao and slapped his body calculatedly at a few spots, “Well, I have already dissolved his Qi Sea. He should not be able to use his internal force for a while. I will leave him to you now.”

“Yes, yes, Master Chen! I am in debt to you!” Zhou Tianhao said with a toady smile. The sight of the middle-aged man fawning over a teenage boy made others cringe.

Little did the others know that the secret to Zhou Tianhao’s success in such a tough environment was his shameless brown-nosing skills. He was resolved to keep Chen Fan close to him.

With such a powerful ally on his side, he would never have to worry about pesky martial artists who sought troubles and revenge.

“To hurt me, they would have to cross Master Chen first.” Zhou Tianhao thought to himself.

“Master Chen, are you sure that breaking his Qi Sea would be able to prevent him from using Inner Force?” Guo Wei asked.

The Internal Force in the real world was very different than that in Wu Xia novels. Unlike the popular troupe in TV shows, the Qi in real life was not gathered together in Dantian. Therefore, in theory, there was no effective way to stop the flow of the Internal Forces inside of one’s system.

“Yes. I have used a unique method to block a few critical Qi points on his body so that the Qi in his system would not conjoin.” Chen Fan explained.

Guo Wei was shocked by the revelation. What was the so-called “Critical Qi points?” Why did it sound more and more like a TV trope?

The less Guo Wei understood, the more he started to respect the boy.

“Well, I have fulfilled my end of the bargain; now, it’s your turn.” Chen Fan said with a smile.

“Bargain?” Zhou Tianhao paused a second, and then he slapped his head heavily. “Ah-Right! Our deal!”

“You can rest a.s.sured, Master Chen; I will not short on even a penny of that ten million. As a matter of fact, I will double the reward, and I will have the money delivered to you in person!” Zhou Tianhao pounded his chest as he made the promise.

Although ten million was not a small number, he felt the price was well worth it.

An ally such as Chen Fan would be worth more than a trillion much less ten million.

Even Linbao was able to use his talent and acc.u.mulate a large amount of wealth; it was hard to imagine the tremendous benefit that Zhou Tianhao was going to get by allying with Chen Fan.

Linbao finally regained consciousness, and he gave Chen Fan an ugly grin.

“I have been defeated today. But I have to warn you that if you kill me, my teacher will unleash his wrath on you!”

Chen Fan cast a curious glance at Linbao, and then he asked, “You mean the Transcendent Master?”

Linbao nodded. However, Chen Fan was unfazed by the threat, he smiled and said: “All the better! I have never seen a Transcendent Master before, but I hope he is not going to disappoint me.”

Chen Fan walked away as soon as he had finished his words.

“Now that’s a real master!” A-Biao exclaimed. He wished that one day, he could be like Chen fan as well.
