Chapter 229 - Moment of Life and Death (2/2)

“What do you want then? “Chen Fan played along, pretending he was mad.

“Nothing. We just want you to go back to where you come from and we will both mind our own business like we used to.” Tang Yifei finally revealed what she was after.

Ever since Shen Junwen informed her of Chen Fan’s real ident.i.ty, she had been planning this moment. Chen Fan had fallen into her trap unknowingly one step at a time.

Tang Yifei knew that Shen Junwen was trying to incite conflict between her and Master Chen. However, she also knew that Chen Fan’s presence in Jiang Nan province posed a much bigger threat to the Tang family than it would to the Shen family.

A great man cannot brook a rival.

“If we teach him a hard lesson today and drive him back to Jiang Bei, he would think twice before he wants to come down to Jiang Nan again,” Tang Yifei thought to herself. Plus, all of his family is here in Jin City, so In the case that Chen Fan had enough audacity to return to Jiang Bei, the Tang family would always start the punishment by doing away with his family members.

“What if I say no?” Chen Fan replied readily.

“Then you will have to face our snipers. I am quite curious as to if you could overcome the powerful modern weapons.” Tang Yifei pulled a hard face and then said coldly.

Even as Chen Fan heard the girl’s reply, he felt the three red dots suddenly converged toward his head. Even the air smelled like danger.

All the three sharpshooters were elite a.s.sa.s.sins that had taken more lives than one could count. Chen Fan was convinced that if he made any sudden moves, an armor-piercing round would go right through his heart or the head. However fast a Martial Artist was, he would not be able to our run a bullet. Even those who purported to be able to dodge a bullet were only able to predict the trajectory of bullets ahead of time.

He wondered where did Tang Yifei hire these three elite sharpshooters.

“Sigh.” Chen Fan suddenly let out a long sigh. He shook his head and asked: “didn’t your father tell you who I really am?”

“What are you talking about?” Tang Yifei was taken aback at first and then said with a smug face. “Ever since my father heard about you, he went into seclusion and started to refine his power in order to counter you. He will be out of his seclusion cultivation very soon.

“I am afraid that you won’t live to see him though.” Tang Yifei said with pride in her eyes.

If she was able to defeat someone who was a headache even for her father, she would have bragging rights for many years to come.

However, she felt disappointed by Chen Fan’s performance so far. He didn’t act like the overlord of Jiang Bei, instead, he was brash and careless like a fledgling. He knew she was Tang Yuanqin’s daughter, yet he fell for the trap regardless.

“How could a man of such ordinary talent bring down Xu Ao and other tyc.o.o.ns?” Tang Yifei asked herself.

“He has been in seclusion for half a year?” Chen Fan paused and then said: “That explains it! I was wondering why he hasn’t come to greet me ever since I arrived. Worse, I thought he had consented your conspiring with Chen Xiao to plot against me.”

“What do you mean?” Tang Yifei pulled a taut face and asked hotly.

In her mind, Tang Yuanqin was an invincible G.o.d. Hearing Chen Fan’s insult toward her father, she made up her mind to make use of her sharpshooters.

“You are not a martial artist and so you don’t really know anything about me.” Chen Fan turned around to look at Tang Yifei as he said slowly. “If your father was here, he would kneel before me and beg me to spare your life.”

“If you were a martial artist, you would never even think about offending me.”

Chen Fan was at the top of the Heaven Roll and was considered the most powerful Grandmaster in the world. Anyone who practiced martial arts or internal force would have heard of his name. Snipers might be effective against normal Grandmasters, but not against someone who was also a Physique Refinement Grandmaster such as Chen Fan or Lei Qianjue.

A decade ago, Chen Longxiang from the Diamond Temple used to rush to a battlefield without any armor and killed hundreds of soldiers. In the end, his enemy had to barrage him with heavy cannon sh.e.l.ls in order to stop him. Chen Longxiang was just a Physique Refinement Grandmasters, a far cry compared to Chen Fan’s power.

Tang Yifei was removed from the world of martial artists. As the daughter of a local tyc.o.o.n, she focused on business, intrigue and social skills. She rarely even talked to the martial artists trained by her father.

“No wonder the Tang family’s fame was waning recently. Its influence simply couldn’t compare with that of the Gu family or the Lu family.”

“Chen Fan, you are courting death!”

Tang Yifei could no longer hold back her anger, so she shouted at Chen Fan hotly. She thought of sparing Chen Fan’s life for the sake of Fang Qiong, but his insult had made her change her mind.

“My lady, let me test his strength.”

Uncle Nan stepped forward and locked his eyes on to Chen Fan. He was ready to kill.

Although he knew that Chen Fan had killed a peak level internal force user before, he was confident in his success.

“Pathetic.”

Chen Fan didn’t want to waste any more breathe on them. He flashed out of view and reappeared before Uncle Nan. He yanked his arm up as an azure light flickered in his hand. The light quickly grew into a long blade that sliced open the air as Chen Fan swung it around in a flat sidearm slash against Uncle Nan’s waist
