322 Zhou Donghuang (1/2)
”You should be thankful that I am merciful and am choosing not to kill you with my bare hands...”
Seeing the young man in white still mention the matter, Fang Danming could not help but feel anxious. After all, this was not something reputable. Once the matter escalated, even with the protection of his father, he may also be punished for this matter.
”You had better not be stubborn!”
Fang Danming glared angrily at Zhou Donghuang, his gaze icy cold. If not for the fact that he was afraid of this young man having a remarkable background which he could not afford to offend, he would have already killed him right away.
”After you punish your son and yourself, I will then follow you to the court.”
Zhou Donghuang glanced slightly at Fang Danming, then said with a sarcastic smile, ”Until you do that, I am not going anywhere.”
”Father, since he is seeking death, then grant him his wish!” Fang Lunjie called out harshly, his eyes cold and murderous.
Fang Danming was already extremely frustrated at this young man, but with his son adding fuel to the fire, he lost his calm as he threatened once again, ”Young man, I'll give you one last chance to follow me to the court.
”Otherwise, I will personally punish you on behalf of the Donghuang Sect!”
On behalf of the Donghuang Sect.
Fang Danming had already thought of a plan.
By declaring in front of the crowd of outer sect disciples that he would be punishing the young man before him on behalf of the Donghuang Sect, even if the young man had a powerful background, they would not be able to take revenge on him alone. The whole Donghuang Sect would be involved as well.
The Donghuang Sect was already recognized as the most powerful sect in the entire Ziyun planet, so he did not think that anyone backing this young man would be able to take on the entire Donghuang Sect.
In the end, they would be unable to do anything.
”On behalf of the Donghuang Sect?”
Zhou Donghuang laughed brightly as he asked, ”You think that you are worthy of representing the Donghuang Sect? In the Donghuang Sect, you are nothing more than a slug!”
A slug.
As the words left Zhou Donghuang's mouth, the crowd of outer sect disciples in the crowd, including Hong Yunfei, felt as if their anger had somewhat been eased.
Some of them had been ill-treated by Fang Lunjie in the past, and even if they had not been treated poorly, none of them fancied Fang Lunjie or his father, Fang Danming.
However, although their anger had been slightly eased, they looked at Zhou Donghuang with a look of sympathy.
”You're asking for it!!”
Zhou Donghuang's words were the last straw for Fang Danming. He could not hold in his anger any longer, and with a loud cry, he struck out with his right arm.
Next, with a slight tremble of his body, he got closer to Zhou Donghuang.
Boom!!
The inner Qi came together to form a giant palm in the air that rushed down from above towards Zhou Donghuang. Its speed was alarming, and it was clearly trying to kill Zhou Donghuang with a single blow.
As the outer sect elder of the Donghuang Sect, Fang Danming's power was far beyond his son, Fang Lunjie, who had only just reached the early Connate stage.
However, this was no matter to Zhou Donghuang.
Bang!!
Many of the outer sect disciples in the crowd instinctively shut their eyes, afraid to see the bloody scene of Zhou Donghuang being murdered. The moment the giant palm crystallized from inner Qi landed on Zhou Donghuang's body, it mysteriously dissipated.
Zhou Donghuang still stood in his original spot as if nothing had happened.
The inner Qi within the giant palm seemed to completely disappear when it landed on Zhou Donghuang, just like a stone sinking into the ocean.
This mysterious scene left the crowd gasping in shock.
Fang Danming was even more shocked. His eyes widened as he stared at the young man in disbelief. ”How... how is this possible?!”
The outer sect disciples who had shut their eyes originally now opened their eyes after realizing that something was amiss. They all looked at the scene before them in confusion.
”What is happening now?”
”Did Elder Fang Danming hold back at the last moment?”
...
As the whole crowd watched on, Zhou Donghuang looked calmly at Fang Danming, and his hand shot out with his palm outstretched.
In the next instant, Fang Danming was already suspended in mid-air.
Connate adepts did not have the ability to float in the air, as this was a skill only for Primal Core adepts and higher.
This meant that Fang Danming was clearly being suspended in the air by the young man in white.
”What... what kind of power is this?!”
Seeing the scene unfold before him, Hong Yunfei felt the back of his neck go numb. Even some Primal Core adepts wouldn't have the power to do what this young man just did!
As for Fang Lunjie, who was originally standing behind Fang Danming, he fell to the ground in shock. He stared in disbelief at the scene before him as he muttered, ”How... how is this possible!”
In mid-air, Fang Danming wrapped his hands around his neck. He could feel his neck being trapped by something strong and choking him. With his eyes wide open, he stared at the young man in white standing in front of him, as he asked in a shaky voice, ”Who... who are you?!”
Whoosh!
Zhou Donghuang floated into the air and appeared in the skies above. He looked down on Fang Danming, who was struggling to raise his head to look at him.
This scene left the crowd in fright as if they felt a cold gush of air rising from their feet up to their heads.
Floating in mid-air.
This was the skill of an adept beyond the Primal Core stage!
In the Donghuang Sect, only inner sect elders and above were at the Primal Core stage and beyond.
”Such a young Primal Core adept?”
”Is this a skill of those at the Primal Core stage? Choking someone from a distance away... even a Golden Essence adept, the most powerful among the Primal Core adepts, may not be able to do this!”
”Who is this man?!”
...
