Chapter 160 - The Plot to End Lin Zitian (1/2)
Precisely!
Everyone had eyes only for Zhuo Fan and were unable to see the bigger picture. That whenever Lin Zitian sent Zhuo Fan flying, it brought him one strike closer to the eastern stand.
With all the experts down in the arena, it left poor Lin Tianyu, disciple of Lin Zitian, alone.
Lin Tianyu was watching how his master taught that man who brutalized and humiliated him in front of so many people a hard lesson. Yet, Vicious Pill King’s yell got him staring blankly.
[W-why me again?]
Lin Zitian also stopped from shock.
But Zhuo Fan snickered and his eyes flashed with killing intent, “Humph, too late!”
He stomped and shot like a cannonball for Lin Tianyu. He no longer hid his intense killing intent and released it out onto the world.
Zhuo Fan was still just a hundred meters away from Lin Tianyu. It took a mere blink to one with comparable speed to those Profound Heaven experts to close this distance, leaving Lin Zitian unable to do a thing.
“Lin Zitian, you seemed to have had a blast kicking me around. Now, I will kill your prized disciple. Let’s see how you like them apples!”
Frightened, Lin Zitian knew he’d been led by the nose. But how, when he was a highly intelligent man, yet never saw any signs pointing to this?
However, this was no time to think, his disciple was in Zhuo Fan’s evil clutches. Lin Zitian flashed behind Zhuo Fan and punched as he roared, “Zhuo Fan, fight me if you have the guts! Leave my disciple out of it!”
Whoosh~
Zhuo Fan vanished from his sight. Then a groan escaped his lips and his body trembled. Lin Zitian’s rage-filled eyes went stiff.
Looking down, he saw a hand sticking out of his chest whilst holding a slowly beating heart.
“Wish granted, ha-ha-ha…”
A sinister laughter reached Lin Zitian but all he could feel was his body growing colder. His life ebbing away.
But his eyes were ever clouded in doubt. He struggled to look back at the demonic youth, “Y-you, how did you match my speed…”
“Didn’t your disciple tell you? I already told him. It doesn’t matter how fast you are when I know who your target is!”
Zhuo Fan clenched his hand and the beating heart splashed blood everywhere. Lin Zitian’s ice-cold corpse slumped on the eastern stand. His eyes wide as saucers, dying with regret.
Lin Tianyu wailed in fear and curled up in a corner, not even daring to look Zhuo Fan in the eye.
“Trash! You don’t even dare look at your master’s killer? Disappointing!” Zhuo Fan left with a snicker.
What met him were the frightened eyes of everyone else.
Merry Woods’s elder Lin Zitian was killed in one blow. But the worst was Zhuo Fan’s casual expression when doing it. It looked like he was squashing a bug and not a Profound Heaven expert.
And his calculative eyes looked on as if everything fell in his predetermined plan. It was as though he was able to easily pluck the lives of his enemy at the drop of a hat.
[Demon!]
This was the sole impression he conveyed.
“Edifice Lord Chu, I told you. You know nothing of this brat. Did you see it just now? He is a Demon King, in the flesh!” Xie Tianyang’s expression was grave. Although this made it the second time he saw Zhuo Fan kill a Profound Heaven expert, the shock was in no way lessened.
Zhuo Fan’s slaughter was incomparable to any other’s. It was as natural as a king disposing of his slave.
Such a cold and unfeeling manner made him shiver whenever he saw Zhuo Fan strike. The same went for everyone there as well.
“This brat is worse than Vicious Pill King!” Peony Overseer’s lip trembled, “I-I can see now why the Hell Kill Order was issued. But I feel that the Hell Kill Order is not enough to make him feel an ounce of fear!”
“Qingcheng, you need to think this over carefully, whether he is the man you want to return to!” Iris Overseer sucked a deep breath and spoke her concerns.
Chu Qingcheng muttered to herself for a while. her eyes were filled with uncertainty, but soon hardened, “Indeed. What you all say has its merits. But! Isn’t this the very same Demon King who saved our Drifting Flowers Edifice?”
“Yeah, sister Qingcheng. Husband may be vile, but only to our enemies. He never harmed us. Don’t ever think otherwise.” Xiao Dandan blurted.
