Chapter 124 - Zhuo Fan’s Wrath (1/2)
“Flowing Space’s Nine Forms, Space Rupturing Form!”
“Purple Lightning Gold Eye!”
“Cold Jade Palm!”
“Peony Finger!”
Following many yells, four attacks of great power descended. They were composed of purple lightning, lofty sword intent, a deep chilling wind, and a deep yet flexible power.
They hammered Huangpu Qingyun and forced him to withdraw three steps as four figures stood in front of Zhuo Fan and Chu Qingcheng.
Jian Suifeng, Long Jiu, Iris Overseer and Peony Overseer. The overseers rushed to Chu Qingcheng and checked her wounds while the first two were on high alert for any of Huangpu Qingyun’s sudden movements.
When the dust settled, Huangpu Qingyun had a frosty expression, but unharmed in any way.
This caused a great deal of shock. The four elders used their most masterful skills against Huangpu Qingyun. But even though they lacked the intent to kill, he had no damage whatsoever, not even a bruise or a cut.
This only worked to put them on guard.
[No wonder Regent Estate’s Golden Tyrant Body Art was the strongest of the seven houses! This is monstrous!]
Whoosh~
Three more figures landed, Vicious Pill King, Lin Zitian, and Hell Valley’s 5th elder next to Huangpu Qingyun. They took a glance at the situation and could guess what happened.
“He-he-he, such gall you have to strike the second young master!” Vicious Pill King laughed coldly, taking advantage of the occasion to sow chaos, “If you want to fight, we will gladly entertain you!”
Lin Zitian and 5th elder exchanged glances, then looked at Huangpu Qingyun. They had no choice but to bear through this.
Not stepping forth now was getting on the Regent Estate’s bad side.
With shivering hearts, Long Jiu’s group looked at each other with determination on their faces. Huangpu Qingyun was bad enough, but now that the other three showed up, it would be hard to come out on top in this battle.
In an instant, Long Jiu and Jian Suifeng looked at Zhuo Fan without even realizing it.
Zhuo Fan had You Guiqi’s killing under his belt. He was both brave and devious. The most dependable man here weren’t they, the elders, but him.
Squinting, Zhuo Fan locked his eyes on Vicious Pill King.
If battle erupted, Vicious Pill King posed the biggest threat. Long Jiu and the others would suffer at this old dog’s poisonous tricks. Before anything happened, he had to remove this danger from the equation.
This may diverge from Zhuo Fan’s original plan, but things kept coming one after the other. [Who knew it would come to this? I have no choice but to be firm with my decisions and get rid of this headache first.]
Zhuo Fan slowly moved, boring into Vicious Pill King with killing intent. Yan Song was in the dark regarding Zhuo Fan’s threat. Killing him would be easy when his guard was down.
Jian Suifeng and Long Jiu noticed his eyes and understood he came to a decision. Trading blows here was the same as falling out with Regent Estate and the other three houses. The seven houses war would erupt.
None of them could see if this was a fortune or disaster for their house.
What they did know, was that the die was cast and they had to strike!
“Hold on!”
Huangpu Qingyun shouted to stop everyone in place and he looked at Chu Qingcheng, “Qingcheng, think this through! Are you going to side with them?”
Chu Qingcheng wiped the blood from her mouth and stepped in front of the others. She turned to Zhuo Fan, then the black cloak, and her eyes steeled, “Yes, I have never been more certain!”
“Fine, be that way. I wish you all a long life!”
Huangpu Qingyun spat the last two words with thick sarcasm, evident of the rancor and curses running through his head.
He said his piece and left with his group. As they passed by Zhuo Fan, he gave a laughter seeping with contempt, “Punk, Drifting Flowers Edifice never had males, are you… ha-ha-ha…”
“Hold up, where did you get that idea?” Zhuo Fan raised a taunting eyebrow, “Wasn’t Chu Qingtian a man? His actions were foolish, true, but he was a man through and through!”
He hid for a decade for Drifting Flowers Edifice, only to die at Drifting Flowers Edifice’s hands. Yet, this pitiful hero was now viewed as a black stain.
Zhuo Fan didn’t condone such idiotic behavior. Why would anyone throw away their lives for a bunch of broads who treated men like nothing more than tools. Only using them to secure their little sanctuary?
That was no mere idiocy, but downright madness!
However, his loyalty was praiseworthy even in Zhuo Fan’s eyes.
“If he was truly a man, it would’ve been best if he stuck to sleeping with women, ha-ha-ha…” Huangpu Qingyun mocked, loathing displayed on his face.
