Chapter 134 - Sacred Dragon Call (1/2)

[Damn it! I’m the one who usually playing with others! Now, I am on the receiving end?!]

Squinting, Zhuo Fan controlled the firestorm in his hand while the other clenched and shivered. It was poised to strike at any minute.

The glorious Demonic Emperor had always been a close follower of being ‘the first and the last to strike’. Yet here he was, playing fair, while the others took advantage of him. He just couldn’t take it lying down.

Only the head of the accuser could now salvage the Demonic Emperor’s dignity.

His killing intent was hidden behind a pair of eyes. Hidden so well in fact, the Vicious Pill King, who was the closest to him, was not even able to sense it.

Only those on the terrace noticed since they were always focused on him. But because of this, Drifting Flowers Edifice’s people finally realized how scary Zhuo Fan was.

They always took Zhuo Fan for a pig-headed and arrogant kid who knew nothing of the world, and was close to losing his life on numerous occasions. If not for these women’s timely intervention, he’d be long dead.

But now, they understood he was not so simple.

First was the fact of concealing all his killing intent in his eyes wasn’t something anyone could do, not even them.

A killer had killing intent, and the more he killed, the more he had. It was great for scare tactics but useless in subtle matters.

So every assassin learned to hide their killing intent. But hiding it from the Vicious Pill King and the surrounding experts normally would not work at all.

Zhuo Fan’s was different though. As long as you didn’t look in his eyes, you wouldn’t know the depth of his killing intent. His technique was the best for assassinations.

It was clear Zhuo Fan was an expert at killing others from obscurity.

Secondly, Zhuo Fan’s killing intent was so thick it took shape, scarring even them, Profound Heaven experts.

Just how many did one have to kill to reach this state?

Peony Overseer finally understood what Dong Tianba’s meant. He was not Song Yu. Since when did a third rate clan young master have such strong killing intent?

“Just who is he? Why is he acting as Song Yu then appearing in our Drifting Flowers Edifice?” Iris Overseer’s heart shivered.

Chu Qingcheng and Peony Overseer frowned, while Veiled Dragon Pavilion and Sword Marquise Abode’s people long knew the truth and were calm.

Smiling at Chu Qingcheng, Long Jiu said, “Worry not, Chuchu. This brat’s presence is Drifting Flowers Edifice’s fortune!”

“Yeah, sister Chuchu. This brat, although deceitful, can save Drifting Flowers Edifice. The only one perhaps.” For the first time, Long Kui was actually speaking in Zhuo Fan’s favor.

Everyone looked at her suspiciously. Long Kui blushed, “What are you looking at? I’m telling you the truth!”

Long Jiu shook his head.

A strange power revolved around Zhuo Fan that could even make those who hated him, admire him.

The way they talked in riddles, left the three women confused. But despite the threat he posed, he wasn’t against Drifting Flowers Edifice, so they all relaxed.

“He-he-he, the brat had enough, he can’t take it. He’ll act soon.” Xie Tianyang’s snicker made them look at the arena.

Sure enough, Zhuo Fan could no longer dispel the killing intent in his eyes, the point where he was about to make a move.

Then, his boundless killing intent just vanished. Xie Tianyang was startled, “What’s going on? Why is he holding it in? This isn’t how he normally does things!”

He knew Zhuo Fan well, the brat would never relent until the one who shamed him was in pieces.

It was also the best moment, so why stop?

It was the same for the rest. They knew how determined Zhuo Fan was and would never miss a golden opportunity for a sneak attack. Killing and slinking back in obscurity had always been his plan. Why the sudden change?

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fan calmed his heart. Looking at the cloak on his back, he once again had a sneer on his face.

His aim today wasn’t only to block Regent Estate’s conquest and buy time for the Luo clan to rise, but also to return the favor to Chu Qingcheng for the sap.

By saving the Drifting Flowers Edifice, he would be having her owe him a favor. But, it was still along the lines of his main objects. Therefore, in his heart, he could not really consider that as a favor she owed to him.

So he also acted as Chu Qingtian, rising to be the best alchemist in the empire.

Heaven-toppling Pill was Chu Qingcheng’s final wish, and aspiration!

A demonic cultivator was free and unrestrained. He must never owe anyone, anything!

Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed and flicked his hand. The lid on the cauldron was lifted and another flick sent the firestorm inside.

Grandmaster Song was using the cauldron to refine!

Everyone watching him was startled.

A grandmaster’s control over ingredients was high, only using the cauldron when refining high-grade pills for assistance. Since it was just a mere 3rd-grade pill, none of the first 20 used one.
