Chapter 131 - Qingtian’s Final Wish (1/2)

Challenge!

Yes, a naked challenge!

Not only that, but it also promised retribution for the departed.

Zhuo Fan’s words were blunt. He wore Qingtian’s cloak right in front of Yan Song. That meant he was going to surpass Yan Song as an alchemist in Qingtian’s stead!

How could the best alchemist in the empire, Vicious Pill King take this lying down?

But that wasn’t the most important thing right now. If Zhuo Fan said it fifteen minutes ago, he would’ve laughed, calling him still a child that didn’t know his limits.

Now, after the first round, Zhuo Fan stood in the first place, the place he took from Yan Song.

Even if one disregarded the stunt he pulled in the first round, the fact he spoke as such was truly shocking. Because in truth, he was standing ahead of the Vicious Pill King.

And because it was the truth, it angered Yan Song.

Never had there been a case where someone stood ahead of him. Yet, this man somehow did it while also openly challenging him.

If he were to take this down, he would no longer be Vicious Pill King!

The silence was deafening.

The people watched dumbfounded as if they forgot to even breathe. Zhuo Fan earned the first place through devious tricks and was now challenging the Vicious Pill King. Was he tired of living?

None could understand, not even the people on the terrace. Only Chu Qingcheng bit her lip as tears glistened in her eyes, [Thank you!]

She knew Zhuo Fan did this all for her. Whether he won or not, he would challenge Vicious Pill King in her stead. This was Qingtian’s final wish.

As Chui Qingtian’s elder sister, she has never managed to do it, but Zhuo Fan had!

Chu Qingcheng’s gaze on Zhuo Fan turned passionate at that moment.

This man was a third rated clan young master, but he was willing to give everything for her. It was not wrong of her to entrust her dignity to this man. He and Qingtian were the same, albeit a bit more immoral.

Chu Qingcheng’s heart felt as if it was beating out of her chest. What she didn’t know was that Zhuo Fan did all this mostly because of the Bodhi Jade Sap.

All because the grand Demonic Emperor did not owe favors!

“Ha-ha-ha, someone has the nerve to challenge the great Vicious Pill King. This is the first time it happened to Elder Yan. So, he must be pissed.”

In the eastern stand, Huangpu Qingyun smiled as he looked around.

The others nodded, with Hell Valley’s 5th elder joining him, “Ha-ha-ha, that old bag of bones Yan Song considered everyone beneath him. How satisfying to see an ignorant pup mock him to such a degree.”

Huangpu Qingyun nodded in glee, his eyes shining, “It seems we won’t be needed to deal with this kid. Once Elder Yan wins the next round, with his temper, he would immediately kill him.”

“Second young master is right, the kid will die after the second round. He challenged Elder Yan, so even if he ended dead, Drifting Flowers Edifice has no grounds to blame Elder Yan and second young master. Young miss Qingcheng won’t feel any more resentment towards you.” Lin Zitian fawned with a smile. It had to be said, his words hit the nail on the head.

Huangpu Qingyun gave a satisfied nod.

In the arena, assaulted by Zhuo Fan’s contemptuous challenge, Vicious Pill King was trembling from rage. He took deep breaths to force it down, but his face had become frightening.

“Rotten punk, you want to challenge me in Chu Qingtian’s stead?”

Zhuo Fan shook his head in mockery, “Old coot, get real. Me challenge you?”

Bam!

Suddenly, Zhuo Fan’s stomped on the alchemy table, jarring the ears of the others with the noise. Then he proudly declared, “Take a good look, I am in first place! Isn’t it more accurate to say that you’re the challenger?”

“You!”

The Vicious Pill King was so pissed his vision blurred, his hair whipped about. He knew the punk was insufferable but clearly didn’t know by how much. With a bit of luck and a clever mind, this punk thought it was enough to flaunt as the best in the empire. And get to make the Vicious Pill King challenge him?

The Vicious Pill King’s chest shook with every breath, rancor dripping from every word, “Little prick, you’re more insufferable then Chu Qingtian. But most arrogant people don’t end well.”

“Ha-ha-ha, the ending isn’t based on arrogance, but strength.” Giving him a side glance, Zhuo Fan coldly smiled, stomping on the table again, “Take this table from me and you’ll be the best in the empire!”

“Humph, I intend to!”

“Then let’s add one more condition. If you can take this spot, I will offer you my head!”

The people froze!

Betting one’s life in a mere pill competition? Or did the kid know his end would be bleak after offending the Vicious Pill King and decided to go for broke?

Chu Qingcheng and the rest became grave. Huangpu Qingyun’s side laughed even harder than before. This justified it even more when the kid lost his head.

Long Jiu’s group was anxious, “Why is this brat playing such a dangerous game?”

As to how cautious Zhuo Fan was, he wouldn’t use such arrogant words easily.
