Chapter 172 - How Dare You? (2/2)

Many martial artists watched the development unfold in fear.

The Lu family of Lin City, one of the most prestigious martial arts families was crushed by a young boy. Without Lu Tianfen, the Lu family would soon fall apart. Their influence would dwindle and at the end, they might not be able to control a territory any larger outside the Lin City.

A wry smile flashed across Lu Yanwu’s face.

She had antic.i.p.ated the fight, but the ending was far from what she had guessed. The young man from Jiang Bei region was not a green babe in the woods, but a dominating arbiter of life and death of any human. After he had done away with Lu Tianfen and Lu Tianlong, the Lu family had lost any hope in avenge today’s humiliation.

“What about the others?”

Chen Fan looked toward the other sects.

A brawny man from Diamond Temple stepped forward and hurried to put in. “The Diamond Temple will never be at odds with Master Chen.”

“Same with Xin Yi Sect.”

“Same with the Xin family.”

“Same here, Flying Knife Sect of Lin Nan”

All of Chen Fan’s enemies put down their weapons and surrendered without any rancor.

At last, Chen Fan’s gaze landed on the people from Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect.

Elder Qi mustered as much courage as he could and announced in a deep voice: “Master Chen, we acknowledge your power but I also want to remind you that our sect master is a Perfected Cultivator. If the gloves come off between you and my sect, neither of us will benefit from such confrontation. Why don’t we call it fa day and let’s be friends?

“Of course, since we have offended you, Grandmaster Chen. We will apologize to you formally when we are ready.” The old man added.

The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect Elder was much better connected with the powerful family than the Lu family. They knew nearly all the Grand Masters and Perfected Cultivators in China. Elder Qi was confident that despite their brush up with Chen Fan, the boy would not dare to test the might of the Medicine G.o.d Vally Sect.”

“Call it a day?”

Chen Fan gave the old man a half smile.

He lifted a hand and sent another wave of condense Qi toward Elder Qi.

“How dare you!”

Elder Qi was riled up by Chen Fan’s attack. He charged up his energy and the beads on his bracelet burst into countless golden paper talisman floating in the air. In the void s.p.a.ce, these talisman let out a bright golden light that had a similar tone with that of Chen Fan’s Diamond Protection Art. When Chen Fan’s attack landed on these golden paper talisman, the light was able to block out most of the force in Chen Fan’s attack.

“Humph, you wish to block my attack with that?”

Chen Fan sneered at the old man and extended two fingers while the other hand wrapped around the two fingers and pulled away slowly. As if out of nowhere, a sword grew from the tip of the two extended fingers. Chen Fan used the illusionary blade to execute the Mountain River Cut.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The beads popped and unleashed more paper talisman. These talisman let out nine layers of lights that protected the old man from the coming attacks. Elder Qi was confident that he should be able to drag out the battle for at least half an hour. The only regret he had was the loss of these beads. These were heaven beads that he had exchanged with a monk using elixirs.

There were seventeen Heaven Beads in total and each one was infused with a protection spell that could ward off normal attacks from blades or firearms.

In the past decade, Elder Qi had only used seven of these beads, and they saved his life precisely on seven occasions. By then, he had used up all ten remaining beads at the same time, and once their effect wore off, he would be defenseless.

“Kiddo! I will report everything to my sect master when I get back and he will come after you with his perfected cultivator friends.” Elder Qi glared at Chen Fan viciously.

As an elder of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect Elder, he had never been humiliated by anyone like this.

Even the family lord of the Lu Family dared not to attack him on a whim.

“Pathetic.”

Chen Fan didn’t waste any more words. He held onto the golden blade and hacked. Under Elder Qi’s horrified watch, the blade went through the nine layers of protections as if going through b.u.t.ter. The blade finally entered the old man’s body from his scalp and existed from under his groin, slicing the old man in half from the middle.

“You!”

Elder Qi rounded his eyes and let out a final word.

He was an elder of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect, a sect that was as powerful as the Lu Family if not even more so. Even a Grandmaster dared not to get in the way of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect. No one would know for sure when they would be knocking on their door to ask for their favor.

However, Chen Fan killed an elder from the sect as if it was no big deal.

“Master!”

Jin Yi let out a heart-wrenching cry. She could not believe her eyes.

Many Martial Artists were frightened by the turn of events. They were shocked when Chen Fan killed the Grandmaster from the Lu Family, however, seeing the brutal way he had finished off Elder Qi, everyone became scared for their own lives.

He was a demon, a cold-hearted demon. He operated on a set of rules that did not belong to the human world. Money, power and influence, nothing could quell or satisfy his savagery other than blood and spilled innards.

“Anyone else?”

Chen Fan pulled back his sword and scanned around him.

This time, everyone kept their heads low and no one dared to look up at him.

Even Lu Haixuan looked down, devoid of any sense of honor or pride. The Lu Family’s power and reputation had all crumbled under Chen Fan’s feet, together with the lives of two powerful warriors from the Lu family. The young master of the Lu family would never think to rise up against Chen Fan.

One-Needle-Li from the Li Family of Green Vines felt fortunate that they refrained from getting involved in this hot mess from the outset. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to, but considering their meager power, they had decided to back out of the murderous ambush at the last moment. However, it turned out to be a wise decision.

“This young man is going to be famous very soon.”

Lu Yanwu gave Chen Fan a long glance.

No one in her family had believed her report on what had happened during Jiang Bei’s tournament. However, in no time, everyone would learn the name of Chen Beixuan and his unimaginable power.
