Chapter 79 - Human Weapon (1/2)

Yes, obscene!

This was the only apt description anyone could think of. Zhuo Fan’s power far exceeded the common understanding and only this word could encompass the height he reached.

It was common knowledge that Bone Tempering Stage was the best period in a cultivator’s life to temper one’s body. Even a Profound Heaven expert could, at best, destroy a Bone Tempering cultivator’s organs. A far cry from what Zhuo Fan did, running one through.

On top of that, Zhuo Fan just broke through, making this even unprecedented throughout history.

“Monster!”

It first began as a whisper, but this word grated everyone’s ears and they all agreed to this adequate assessment.

Fear was painted vividly on their faces.

Hell Valley’s Bone Tempering guards were no longer envious of the ‘lucky’ man, instead, they felt sympathy for him.

[What rotten luck! Not only didn’t he earn merit but threw his life away instead.]

Whoosh!

Zhuo Fan was suddenly caught off guard by a white and black pair of chains as they coiled around him.

You Guiqi smirked, holding the other end of the chains.

“Damn, even with the kid’s insane talent, he’ll be mincemeat soon as he is locked by the 4th-grade demonic treasure.” Jian Suifeng sighed.

He was in awe of Zhuo Fan’s ability, of his bright future, but… [A pity he’ll die at Insidious Demon’s hand.]

Xie Tianyang’s heart tensed. He didn’t foresee a Profound Heaven expert like You Guiqi resorting to sneak attacks on a newly promoted Bone Tempering cultivator.

Although the person in question was a freak of nature, it was still despicable.

Xue Ningxiang was happy at first but then turned worried.

Zhuo Fan eyed the familiar demonic treasure and said, “Using such underhanded moves from the get-go, that too against a junior. Seventh elder, seems like you do not care about Hell Valley’s name.”

You Guiqi laughed dryly, “You’re smart to notice my intention from a look. There is hardly anyone compared to your caliber in the Tianyu Empire. You are one outstanding devil that not even I dare to neglect.”

“Ha-ha-ha, I truly admire the seventh elder’s cautious nature. In any case, this junior came without any plan or scheme prepared, only to end you myself. Yet you’re so prudent regardless.”

You Guiqi’s mood darkened.

Reading between the lines, he knew Zhuo Fan mocked him for his yellow-bellied attitude. Even he had his limits, especially when humiliated in front of such a crowd by a Bone Tempering junior.

“Runt, say that again and I’ll make sure there won’t even be a corpse left of you.”

“Am I wrong?”

Zhuo Fan cocked his head and laughed, “With your character, the faster you kill your opponent the better. Yet the first thing you did when I arrived was to send your disciple to test the waters, only to have him reduced to a shivering mess from fear to the point he ignored your orders. And left with no choice, you sent that buffoon to his death in the name of curing your disciple’s heart demon.”

“There’s no need to even mention winning, but just in case he failed, it wasn’t that much of a loss since it offered you the perfect timing to blindside me when I finished him off. And this is the result!”

Zhuo Fan enlightened everyone and even Jian Suifeng was startled so much that his fear for You Guiqi grew.

He wasn’t You Guiqi’s match and if he were in Zhuo Fan’s stead, You Guiqi would’ve succeeded in his devious plan.

[You Guiqi is ruthless and cunning to the extreme. Yet that Zhuo Fan isn’t any better, discovering his ploy in an instant.]

The Insidious Demon showing such an extreme caution against a Bone Tempering cultivator not only shocked him but everyone present.

On the other hand, Zhuo Fan wasn’t in the least beneath You Guiqi in cunningness.

Thinking about this let Jian Suifeng hold Zhuo Fan in higher regard.

“Hi-hi-hi, aren’t you caught in my web despite seeing through it?” You Guiqi snickered with killing intent, “I just need to twitch my arm and you’ll turn putty!”

Zhuo Fan rose an eyebrow and laughed, “Say, how did a sinister old coot like you turn so stupid? You think it’s that easy to trap me since I saw through you?”

Zhuo Fan’s eyes gleamed and lightning cracked.

Bam!

You Guiqi couldn’t even react before the chains were thrown away.
