Chapter 256 - Hindrance (1/2)
Wiping his brow by instinct, Huangpu Qingtian seemed calm, but turning to Zhuo Fan, he had lost his casual stance and became grave.
Although he was a very conceited person, it didn’t stop him from admitting that today he had met his match.
“It seems I can’t let my guard down around you!” Huangpu Qingtian’s tone dropped and he stared at Zhuo Fan like a hunter.
Grinning, Zhuo Fan said, “Oh, so that’s what you’ve been missing so far? Are your ready now?”
With another creepy grin, Zhuo Fan was gone.
He popped before Yan Bangui and slapped him while cackling, “Then I’ll go after your sidekick’s head this time!”
Yan Bangui panicked. He never thought Zhuo Fan would pick on him. He got flustered while defending and released his poison!
Since when could a hastily made plan repel Zhuo Fan’s long ready palm strike? Moreover, his poison hardly worked on the likes of Zhuo Fan who could just use Demon Transformation Art to dispel it!
But before his attack could land, Zhuo Fan squinted and was gone.
Boom!
Huangpu Qingtian was looking at rubble. It was where Zhuo Fan and the two girls had stood but was now littered with dust. Zhuo Fan reappeared a hundred meters away holding the girls while giving Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord the evil eye.
Huangpu Qingtian snickered back, “Like I said, you can’t get past me!”
Zhuo Fan clenched his jaw and his fists. Huangpu Qingtian was no muscle-brain and quite cunning as well!
Zhuo Fan wanted to relieve Yan Bangui of his cumbersome head as an affront to this man. But this guy knew he couldn’t give chase and settled for targeting Luo Yunchang and Xue Ningxiang.
Forced to save them, regardless of how fast one was, he had to abandon his tricks!
Yan Bangui was scared out of his mind as he watched them. He didn’t want his fate to have such an untimely ending.
The fright was so intense, he felt he had lost a decade of his lifespan!
You Yushan was affected as well, seeing the two dragons on the brink of a war and bolted. Only the crippled Lin Xuanfeng was left behind wailing on the ground!
Not that anyone had a mind to pay him any attention when they were focused on the two monsters. They all wanted to know who was going to be the champion in the Esoteric Debate!
Anticlimactic as it were, finding the result so early…
Holding a girl in each arm, Zhuo Fan’s eyes glared with anger at Huangpu Qingtian. If earlier he was just messing around, he was now focused.
The girls caught onto the situation and ran far away to not disturb their battle.
Huangpu Qingtian grinned in excitement, sensing the change in Zhuo Fan. Facing an opponent like Zhuo Fan couldn’t be more thrilling. Wrapped in a golden light, his power surged and he was putting pressure even on Chu Qingcheng’s group despite how far they were.
Huangpu Qingtian’s power dominated the scene, just like how a king showed his presence!
Zhuo Fan’s stance paled somewhat, but the faint black energy rolling about, the flickers of purple in his eyes, spoke of a deep power laying hidden, waiting for the emperor to come close so he could wring his neck!
It gave everyone a feeling of danger never sensed before.
The onlookers felt their heart in their throats, yet they couldn’t budge an inch.
“Imperial Tyrant Body Art!”
Huangpu Qingtian shouted and nine golden dragons twisted around him before shooting for Zhuo Fan.
Seen from afar, it was as if the sky was coming down to pulverize the earth. Such mighty power could be felt even by the audience!
[Is this how much of a freak he has become? Is this the level of Huangpu Qingtian’s profound ranked martial art?]
All swallowed dryly in shock, waiting nervously for Zhuo Fan’s reaction!
Laughing, Zhuo Fan’s eyes had a golden ring with purple lightning streaking in them, and charged as well!
Roar!
A draconic roar followed the image of a black dragon growing around Zhuo Fan. But the streaks of purple lightning around it caused the earth to rumble incessantly. It was as if the end of days was coming!
While others cried in shock, Huangpu Qingtian’s eye trembled. Because of the power Zhuo Fan displayed.
