Chapter 158 - Unstoppable Speed (1/2)
Sticking out his chest, Lin Zitian felt so full of himself being the center of attention.
What he didn’t see was the suspicion in their eyes.
“5th elder, if Elder Lin wishes to fight him, let us owe him this favor and we’ll repay it back in the future.” Squinting, Huangpu Qingyun no longer second-guessed it and agreed with Lin Zitian.
Lin Zitian cupped his hands to Huangpu Qingyun in joy, “I wouldn’t dare. This is something I should be doing anyway. For the second young master to grant me this honor is enough.”
Huangpu Qingyun’s words revealed how much importance he gave himself. Lin Zitian was overjoyed Merry Woods now had a powerful backer.
“But second young master…” 5th elder spoke with revulsion. Though his face had an understanding smile when turned to Huangpu Qingyun.
As if the second young master cared about this pawn called Lin Zitian! He was only used as bait to see what other tricks Zhuo Fan had up his sleeves.
At the least, they’d make some early plans on how to deal with them.
Snickering inside, 5th elder cupped his hands at Lin Zitian, “Elder Lin, thank you for your trouble.”
“You’re too kind, 5th elder.”
Lin Zitian’s face had a glittering smile plastered on it. Like the bottom of the barrel got hailed as the number one genius. While Zhuo Fan could barely contain his mockery.
[There’s no worse fool out there than a clueless lab rat!]
[Fighting such a moron is a total waste of time.]
Zhuo Fan didn’t waste words and capitalized on their inattention by jumping backward. His Lightning Wings were primed into sharpened daggers to break out of this encirclement.
This time he wasn’t aiming for the air, but the wall behind him.
As the wall was the closest to him, his action would leave the other unable to react. This would ultimately allow him to escape Drifting Flowers Arena and take to the skies.
He would be soon as free as a bird, in his own element. While also offsetting the three’s Profound Heaven speed from catching up.
Huangpu Qingyun shouted in alarm, “Damn it! He wants to run!”
He cursed Zhuo Fan inside for his cunning nature. One careless moment and he would slip away!
By the time he and 5th elder got to the hole in the wall, Zhou Fan had the advantage of the open sky outside.
“Ha-ha-ha, Huangpu Qingyun, old 5th, we will meet again if fate allows it.” Zhuo Fan sped up and left his laughter behind.
Huangpu Qingyun and 5th elder gnashed their teeth but didn’t pursue.
They knew it was too late already.
But Zhuo Fan once again omitted Lin Zitian’s name.
It was clear disregard!
Lin Zitian’s grew irate, [This prick thinks of escaping with me from Merry Woods here? Absurd!]
Whoosh!
Lin Zitian’s figure vanished. Not even Huangpu Qingyun and 5th elder who were the closest, noticed his movements.
The next thing everyone knew, he was behind Zhuo Fan and cutting off the latter’s retreat.
So fast!
Zhuo Fan was startled somewhat. Lin Zitian was in the Profound Heaven Stage but his speed was far above it.
[He isn’t an elder of Merry Woods for nothing. Although…]
[Since when is speed everything? You’re nothing more than a paper tiger to me.]
Grinning, Zhuo Fan didn’t slow down at all, going straight for Elder Lin.
This had the elder fuming with rage.
“You little shit, you will pay for your insolence!” Like an enraged lion, Lin Zitian roared and charged as well.
But Zhuo Fan wasn’t one to mind, mocking him in fact as his Lightning Wings were sharpened for impact, “Your funeral!”
The clash already had a conclusion in everyone’s minds.
Zhuo Fan was a monster yet only a Bone Tempering cultivator. He could face off against the impressive 5th layer of Profound Heaven body cultivator, Hell Valley’s 5th elder by himself. Not to mention he killed You Guiqi in one hit.
[You, Lin Zitian, are no body cultivator, even weaker than You Guiqi. Yet, you dare face such a freak? Truly a moron.]
“Let’s go together, 5th elder!” Huangpu Qingyun spoke.
