Chapter 317 - Bashing of a Regent (1/2)

Editor: Elitecoder

Roar!

A wail of anger mixed with pain reached the clouds. Zhuo Fan’s power exploded, purple lighting gushing out of him like a flood. His madness increased as well. The overpowering might left others gasping and shivering in fear.

Huangpu Qingtian recoiled as well, fear obvious in his eyes.

He had never seen one man capable of unleashing such a raw display of power, until now. What was even more astounding was that the said man didn’t blow up from the strain.

The viewers beyond the National Elemental Stone weren’t there to feel it, but the sight was shocking enough.

Fang Qiubai squinted, “The kid was hiding such a move! But can he take it?”

The blood on Zhuo Fan’s body only grew thicker. Just like a dead tree, he was pushing towards collapse.

Fang Qiubai frowned, worried. Chu Qingcheng and the other women’s hearts went to the man’s suffering, their tears flowed for him.

It was obvious that Zhuo Fan’s trump card was a life for a life. Zhuo Fan from before would’ve never resorted to such desperate means unless it was a matter of life and death. But now, for the sake of killing Huangpu Qingtian, for revenge, he threw it all away…

Ah!

With a cry of pain, Zhuo Fan’s surging power had reached a plateau. Purple lightning bathed his body, his wings turned purple as well. They crackled with lightning, releasing waves of power.

Zhuo Fan panted, his body bloodied from head to toe. The bones of his legs were visible as the tyrannical might of the purple lightning ate through his flesh. The pain was excruciating, but his eyes only grew more sinister.

Huangpu Qingtian’s heart seized looking at the purple lightning show, but he still found in him one last mockery, “Zhuo Fan, I was wondering what great and all powerful ace had you been keeping all this time, only to find out it is a dumb crippling move to gain the power to beat me. Your body is so wrecked you can barely stand. You may have obtained the power now, but it’s still not enough…”

Whoosh!

The lighting storm flashed in his face in the form of a palm. It flung him a thousand meters away with a bang, burying him deep into a cliff as it collapsed over him.

Zhuo Fan now took his earlier place, arm outstretched and a cold glint in his eyes.

Sss~

Be it the survivors or the viewers, everyone gasped.

They knew Zhuo Fan had the power, but the sheer speed with which he moved was mind boggling. Not even that monster, Huangpu Qingtian, could see him coming.

Rumble!

Huangpu Qingtian pulled himself out of the debris with a bloody nose. He didn’t have the time to care, finding it more important to stare at the cold figure in shock.

[What was… that was too fast! And what was that power? The punk is clearly on his last leg so why does he have so much power? He’s even stronger than when the battle started!]

For the first time ever, Huangpu Qingtian’s heart was in fear’s grip.

Huangpu Qingtian shook it away. He was undefeated, conceited into thinking he was heaven’s walking gift on earth, its rightful king. How could such a lofty being ever know fear?

Gnashing his teeth and forcing himself to remain calm, Huangpu Qingtian’s eyes regained their battle spirit as he looked ahead.

Only to find no one there.

Huangpu Qingtian had yet to make sense of it as a shocking force slammed into his back, a purple lightning out of the blue.

Boom!

The ground caved in for miles on end. Huangpu Qingtian was in the middle coughing up blood and getting the shock of his life.

[When did he… get behind me…]

He turned his stiff head back only to meet Zhuo Fan’s icy stare and the purple lightning infused fist into his back.

Humiliation!

Being bashed around twice now without the slightest chance at retaliation was a clear and naked insult to Huangpu Qingtian. The shame only grew when he realized he was actually the weaker of the two. This was his complete and utter defeat.

In his 20+ years alive, Huangpu Qingtian had never ever thought it was conceivable. It went without saying but he was in denial now.

Huangpu Qingtian’s veins popped, anger overriding his heart and the bloodthirst in his eyes grew.

[Zhuo Fan must die!]
