Chapter 168 - Leaving By Suicide (1/2)

It was just too hard a truth to swallow.

Hell Valley’s 5th elder still sported a confident smile in his power, just as Huangpu Qingyun before him. But witnessing the latter’s miserable ending cut all his bravado short as he reeled back again and again.

[No, that is no human. Not even a Bursting Pill is enough to defeat him. I need to escape, now!]

“Second young master!”

Suddenly, four cries echoed and four figures were next to Huangpu Qingyun and lamenting his fate. Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow at the four. They were Huangpu Qingyun’s porters, in the 1st layer of the Profound Heaven Stage.

However, Zhuo Fan’s soul was now in the Radiant Stage and this time, looked at the four with a frown and suspicious eyes.

These guys were indeed of Profound Heaven cultivation but were weak as hell, even when compared with peak Bone Tempering experts. [No wonder Huangpu Qingyun told them to stand aside. But why are they here anyway?]

At one point in his thinking, Zhuo Fan’s vision swirled and his body was on the verge of collapse.

[Damnation, I’m running out of time.]

Gnashing his teeth, Zhuo Fan braced himself to keep up appearances and then flee from this place. Staying here longer than necessary would only make it worse for him, as he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long and fall unconscious. At that point, his head was up for grabs.

But he didn’t get the chance as the four porters roared and jumped him, “You savage mongrel! You dare kill Regent Estate’s second young master, we will kill you!”

“Just the four of you? Please!”

Zhuo Fan snorted, but as the four approached, his mind whirled and his power plummeted. Bursting Pill’s effect was declining faster and faster.

Bitting his tongue to clear his head, Zhuo Fan’s wing lashed out and the three porters were cut in two while the latter was wailing on the ground having his arm chopped off.

Ignoring the ‘lucky’ fellow, Zhuo Fan flew away as fast as he could.

Vicious Pill King paused for a moment before yelling, “5th elder, stop him now! His fight with second young master used up his Yuan Qi and can’t hold on for long. We have to keep him here at all costs.”

When 5th elder was ready to slink into obscurity, he whipped his head around and saw the three dead and one rolling on the ground. His eyes lit up then laughed out loud.

Demon Zhuo Fan’s attacks were ruthless and precise. [How could he just harm and not kill? His body can’t take it and didn’t have the time to finish the last one.]

5th elder then shot straight for Zhuo Fan and swung his mighty hammer.

With his vision fading away, Zhuo Fan swayed in his flight. He watched the incoming hammer dazed.

Chu Qingcheng was beside herself with worry, but there was not enough time to help.

5th elder cackled, his eyes lit up with savagery, “Ha-ha-ha, demon Zhuo Fan, time to pay for what you did to 7th elder and second young master with your life.”

“You’re not nearly worthy enough to take my life!”

His body’s power was sapped, but his eyes never lost their ruthlessness. Bitting his tongue again to sober somewhat, Zhuo Fan roared and lashed with his wings like a pair of lightning whips.

Bam!

5th elder’s hands went numb from pain, with the half a ton hammer slipping from his grip, flung away by Zhuo Fan.

Yet, 5th elder couldn’t be happier, “Ha-ha-ha, wise ass. It is you who fell for it this time. You can’t possibly fend me off when you have no wings to protect you and your body is too weak to resist!”

5th elder’s hand was wrought in a fierce flame and clawed at Zhuo Fan’s chest, “High spirit ranked martial art, Back Piercing Fire Claw!”

With the Lightning Wings used to fend off the hammer, they were too far off to recall them in time. Zhuo Fan’s chest was wide open.

With 5th elder being a body cultivator in the 5th layer of Profound Heaven Stage and using a high spirit ranked martial art, the strike would go straight through him.

Not even Zhuo Fan could keep his life then.

5th elder smirked while Chu Qingcheng was watching below wracked with anxiety and powerless to help.

Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed coldly and said, “I already told you. You’re not worthy enough to take my life!”

Zhuo Fan roared, “Wraith Style’s second move, Ghostly Dragon Claw!”

With another heaven shaking dragonic roar, the two claws clashed.

Something incredible happened. In that instant, Zhuo Fan ripped 5th elder’s entire arm clean off.

Blood spurted but 5th elder took a long time for the feeling to sink in. He turned to his arm and then fell from the sky wailing.

Only Zhuo Fan, the invincible, stood in the sky like a king. The burning arm he was clutching, was now soaked in blood.

“Humph, no one is worthy of taking yours truly’s life!”

Snorting, Zhuo Fan once again displayed his power for all to see. He clenched his hand and 5th elder’s hand was ripped to pieces.
