Chapter 156 - Savage Like a Tiger (1/2)

Chu Qingcheng’s thoughts aligned with the rest.

She gazed upon the changing yet unmistakably proud face with incertitude.

Zhuo Fan had lied to her from the start, yet he did not once do something to disappoint her. It turned out that with his intervention, all the crises were laid before her, unraveled, waiting for her to solve them with ease.

She came to believe that she and Drifting Flowers Edifice owed him. Now there was no reason for her to hold back from helping him avoid the danger he was in.

However, that only applied if he was anyone but Zhuo Fan. After all, he killed Hell Valley’s 7th elder.

If she chose to stand up for him, Hell Valley would soon be knocking with a war on her door. Regent Estate and Pill King Hall would never miss the golden opportunity either. Thus marking the end of Drifting Flowers Edifice.

She was deep in thought for a while before coming to a decision. Chu Qingcheng gnashed her teeth and her eyes shined with conviction as she took a simple step.

[Death is nothing, since today is Drifting Flowers Edifice’s judgment day. Without this man’s help, Vicious Pill King would’ve gripped the whole of Drifting Flowers Edifice in a mere two days.]

Rather than struggle on death’s door, ending alongside the man she admired with a bang didn’t seem like a bad way to go.

Chu Qingcheng’s gait became firm and nodded at Tao Danniang, “Aunt Tao!”

Clear on her intention, Tao Danniang sighed as she grew resolute as well.

But right then, one red and one blue silk ribbon held them tight before lifting them on the terrace.

“I knew you two were foolish, but thankfully I managed to stop you.”

Peony Overseer and Iris Overseer released the ribbons and sighed. Xie Tianyang then rushed to explain Zhuo Fan’s intentions.

The two were alarmed, unable to comprehend how a Bone Tempering cultivator could face four Profound Heaven experts. It was impossible even to a freak like him.

Shrugging, Xie Tianyang sighed, “I’ve fulfilled my end and told you of his wishes. If you still wish to be reckless, all you’ll be doing is ruining his plan. His anger will be on you!”

“Let’s see him dare get angry at me!” Chu Qingcheng shouted. But soon, she realized this was not the time for casual bickering.

With a rotten smile, Xie Tianyang spoke in circles, “Edifice Lord Chu, you have no idea of the extent of that brat’s retribution. By the time you find out, you’ll be left in tears. He-he-he…”

Chu Qingcheng watched the arena mystified.

At the same time, Huangpu Qingyun and Zhuo Fan turned towards the terrace as if in sync.

Huangpu Qingyun was worried Chu Qingcheng would stick out for Zhuo Fan. He didn’t want to fight her and now he could finally put this worry to rest. Meanwhile, Zhuo Fan was even more concerned. If Chu Qingcheng stood up, his plan would go up in smokes.

Two rivals were actually willing to pause over a woman.

“Brat, it’s time you pay for my 7th brother’s misery with your life!”

Suddenly, Hell Valley’s 5th elder charged Zhuo Fan. His body exploded with power and ignited into a scarlet flame as he swung at Zhuo Fan.

The fist was filled with rage and thrown in haste, but it kicked up a storm. Zhuo Fan couldn’t even breathe from its power, as if a mountain was crushing him.

[5th layer of Profound Heaven Stage, and a body cultivator too!]

His pupils contracting, he although had an inkling of the man’s power, it exceeded his expectations.

Despite being a Profound Heaven expert as well, he was in a different league from You Guiqi. Zhuo Fan weighed it thoroughly and came to the conclusion he was far from this man’s match in body power.

[But everyone has a shortcoming. Your flesh might be steel, but I have two blades behind me!]

With savagery in his eyes, Zhuo Fan stood his ground. The Lightning Wings warped into sickles and attacked 5th elder.

One hacked the flaming fist, the other his face.

Zhuo Fan was willing to accept this heavy wound if it meant the death of his opponent.

Seeing the incoming sickle, 5th elder stomped. With an explosion, he stopped in his tracks and flew backward.

The wings missed and with a boom, a 5 meter hole was left behind three meters from 5th elder.

Wisps of black smoke drifted above the hole.

Feeling the icy sweat trickling down his head, 5th elder expression turned grave. He no longer charged recklessly.

He now knew how You Guiqi met his end.

[This brat is too vicious. Not only to his enemies, but even to himself.] It may look advantageous exchanging a wound for a kill, but he would open himself to others, a pig ready to be slaughtered.
