Chapter 178 - Nefarious (1/2)

Whoosh!

As third elder and fourth elder were still trying to make sense of the Regent Estate’s elders’ poisoning, Zhuo Fan stabbed his wings towards fourth elder’s chest.

He was run through in a blink.

He began to feel a sting in his chest, then how his body grew ever weaker as the life ebbed out of him.

He then slumped on the ground.

“Fourth elder!”

Third elder roared but Zhuo Fan’s second wing was already coming at him.

However, these two elders matched well with each other even in their daily lives, more so in battle. They attacked and retreated in such a way that they always maintained a fixed distance.

This was happening now as well, making Zhuo Fan’s attack only take down fourth elder while third elder was just too far away for him to reach in time.

Third elder jumped backward and dodged the Lightning Wing.

He saw fourth elder’s corpse then turned his bloodshot eyes to Zhuo Fan, thirsting for revenge.

Zhuo Fan glanced at the corpse below him then at the Profound Heaven expert opposite of him and grinned.

“Are you that Demon Archon Zhuo Fan?” Third elder clenched his fists, his aura exploding with immense power. He was in the 8th layer of Profound Heaven Stage.

Not even a pill could guarantee Zhuo Fan a win in this fight.

But Zhuo Fan kept his cool at all times, nodding slightly then looking at the dead fourth elder, “Is he your brother? You fit quite well together.”

“What’s it to you? You killed seventh elder, fourth elder, and crippled fifth elder. I will make sure you never leave this place alive.” Third elder spat through clenched teeth, yet his ever raging eyes couldn’t help but pause over his brother’s body.

Taking it all in, Zhuo Fan snickered. He then had the corpse suspended with his Lightning Wings.

“What are you doing?” Third elder roared.

“To my enemy I will not only kill him but ruin his corpse as well, making him die in regret!” Zhuo Fan snorted.

Third elder was about to charge, but Zhuo Fan suddenly sighed, “However…”

Third elder stared wide-eyed.

“Seeing you brothers so close, I will let him go. After all, I also have a brother earned from life and death struggles, only to die at the hands of You Guiqi. If not for this, I wouldn’t have had any quarrel with Hell Valley.”

Zhuo Fan sighed and shook his head.

Third elder was stunned, relating to this third rate clan kid and why he became Hell Valley’s enemy. Thinking of his earlier action, he also would’ve charged and exact revenge for his brother regardless of peril.

“Even so, you think I’ll let you go?” Third elder snorted, angry still.

Zhuo Fan snickered and raised his head to show his blazing eyes, “For my brother’s revenge I have incurred upon me today’s disaster, but I do not regret it. How could I ask my enemy for forgiveness? But seeing you meet the same fate as I did, I won’t ruin his body and return it to you.”

Zhuo Fan flicked Lightning Wings and threw the corpse to third elder.

Third elder moved with haste, now looking at Zhuo Fan with a faint trace of respect as he bellowed, “Good, we will have a man to man fight and see who’s the real, ugh…”

Third elder stopped for some reason, feeling a chill in his heart. Looking down, he saw a fist-sized hole in his chest that wasn’t there before.

Blood flowed in rivers from it.

Third elder looked at Zhuo Fan in complete and utter perplexity.

[What’s going on? We didn’t even start fighting and I’m already dying?]

With a snicker, Zhuo Fan waved.

A golden light came from third elder’s back flying over next to Zhuo Fan.

Third elder watched the golden infant closer.

“This is my demonic creature. I hid it in the body and threw it over all so I could catch you off guard. That is why I also cooked up that little story about my dead brother. I only killed You Guiqi for being an eyesore.”

Waving at third elder, Zhuo Fan sent him off with his most demonic smile he could muster, “Fare thee well, loyal and cherishing Hell Valley’s third elder. I hope you won’t be so gullible to a stranger’s words in your next life. Especially your enemies’, ha-ha-ha…”

Falling backward, third elder felt himself going colder, his eyes still reflecting Zhuo Fan’s last smile.

[Demon Archon Zhuo Fan’s nefarious ploys are foolproof. No wonder even seventh elder fell victim…]

Bam!

Third elder fell next to his brother, yet, as his mind stopped working, those eyes were forever opened and evoked unspeakable regret!

They were sent here to end Zhuo Fan, only to fumble about and die so miserably…

“I took too long here. Better go and help Elder Yan!”
