Chapter 372 - Leveling the Prince’s Home (2/2)

Pa!

A resounding cuff over the old guy’s face cut his whining short. Zhuo Fan snickered, “We both know I’m no fool, so stop stating the obvious. While he is the culprit, you are his lackey. In both cases, no one’s leaving this place alive!”

Sss~

Gasping, Ancestor Huang Mei was overwhelmed by Zhuo Fan’s capacity for cruelty, going so far as to kill any who wronged him.

If he had known, he’d never have accepted the job even for 20 pills!

As the black energy oozed out from Zhuo Fan and he noticed the naked bloodthirst in his eyes, Ancestor Huang Mei turned white as paper, including his eyebrows, as he begged, “Wait, Steward Zhuo, don’t kill me! Let me go and I’ll do anything. Isn’t your Luo clan newly promoted? You must be short on men. I am an 8th layer Radiant Stage expert, I can stand on your side, pledge my life to you!”

The black energy hovered for a second while Zhuo Fan was weighing the proposition. Ancestor Huang Mei’s eyes lit up and he grasped at straws.

Too late though, as Zhuo Fan shook his head and the black energy shot forth, “Sorry, we already have a poisoner, the Alchemy House’s elder, Vicious Pill King. We don’t need you.”

“Him? He’s just a Profound Heaven cultivator, while I’m in the Radiant Stage!” Ancestor Huang Mei cried.

Zhuo Fan shook his head, “Ha-ha-ha, I’ve hand-picked every elder of the Luo clan myself. None of them will balk in the face of death. This is where you fall short.”

Zhuo Fan punctuated by having the black energy cover swallow Ancestor Huang Mei whole. Funny how he did the same thing Ancestor Huang Mei had done to him.

The stark contrast was that the black energy was far deadlier.

Everyone had a front row seat to Ancestor Huang Mei’s miracle diet. He was thinning under the naked eye. Swallowed by the black mass, his face twisted every second. The diet only came to an end when his very being was reduced to absolutely nothing.

Second prince crumbled to the ground in horror. His Radiant Stage men were all shaking as well. Holding their lord as they made a slow crawl backwards.

Zhuo Fan was only in the third layer of Profound Heaven yet to everyone present he was nothing short of Tianyu’s number one expert, a freak. With how even Ancestor Huang Mei was dust in the wind, how could they fare any better?

Yun Shuang pursed her lips, watching the cold stone-killer with fear.

It was a first for her, to watch a man die through such means.

Grandfather had told her that he was the vilest person to walk this earth, and she was there to set him straight. But they were chatting and laughing just a little while ago. He even jumped to her defense in her dire need. He looked nothing like an evil spawn.

Only now did she come face to face with Zhuo Fan’s cruel and insidious nature.

Clap~

Zhuo Fan showed an evil grin seeing the empty space in front of him, then turned to the pretty boy and his gang.

Shaking like a leaf, the second prince turned guileless, acting like a bad boy who had gotten caught and huddling with his guards while waiting for punishment.

“S-S-Steward Zhuo, I know my mistake. I won’t do it again, honest. Please let me go, just this once?” Second prince’s voice quivered.

Zhuo Fan got before him and snickered, “Next time? If there ever will be a next time, that old fart’s death will look like a joy ride compared to yours! Got that?”

“Y-y-yeah.” Second prince’s teeth clattered as he bobbed his head. The guards kept mum, despite the clear humiliation their lord was facing.

What else could they do? They could fight the monster to their last breath, but would it do any good?

[Who’d be dumb enough to mess with this savage that not even the seven houses dare to?]

[Oh, right, the second prince is one…]

They all were wailing inside, though neither criticized their lord out loud.

Zhuo Fan saw him rooted in place and patted his cheek, warningly, “For your pretty boy face, I’ll leave it at that…”

Second prince eased his breath.

But Zhuo Fan kept on talking’, “Though I won’t go easy on you either. Leaving you with a little homework will do good for your character.”

Zhuo Fan’s right hand flashed red and he smashed the ground.

The savage’s fist leveled prince’s home…
