172 How Dare You? (1/2)
Chen Fan snatched up Lu Tianfen's left leg with one hand and threw the Grandmaster out like lobbing a grenade. Lu Tianfen smashed into a building, and the impact created a hole on one side of the wall.
”Urhh!”
Despite his Four Righteousness Protection Aura, the damage was severe. His felt the impact had shaken up his internal organs and dislodged his joints. Suddenly, a gush of blood spilled out from his mouth.
Before he could gather himself, Chen Fan had already flashed into view again. He kicked heavily at Lu Tianfen.
Lu Tianfen was sent flying again like a deflated basketball. He smashed into and through the other wall at the far side of the building before he thudded back to the ground. Momentum carried his slumped body a few feet on the ground until his lifeless body came to a full stop.
”Do you still want to fight?”
Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and slowly made his way through the large holes on the building. When he emerged from the other side, his clothing did not have a speck of dust on their fabric. He looked nothing like a fighter but a young boy on a field trip.
”Thud… thud…”
A pin drop silence had fallen over the courtyard and only Chen Fan's footsteps could be heard. Everyone hardly even dared to breathe. Let it be the Medicine God Valley Sect, Diamond Temple or the Xin Yi Sect, no one spoke a word in this shocking and suspenseful moment.
The all-powerful Grandmaster who had been invincible just ten minutes ago slumped on the ground lifelessly. No none knew if he was still alive.
Who else would dare to test the power of the Young Grandmaster after this?
”He won!”
Lu Tianfen looked up at Chen Fan, his eyes were brimming with hatred and poison. In the end, he was defeated by Chen Fan. This boy's terrifying ability had far exceeded his estimations. If Lu Tianfen were given another chance, he knew the outcome wouldn't change.
Lu Tianfen hated Lu Tianlong for misinforming him, but he hated Chen Fan even more.
”As long as I can pass this tribulation, I will make you pay.”
Lu Tianfen lowered his eyelids to hide his vengeance. His plan was simple, surrender and survive the day. However powerful Chen Fan was, he was just a teenager, and contentment was an all to common poison for someone who had become powerful at an early age. When Chen Fan's guard was lowered, he could strike at him again with the element of surprise.
”Hehe, you might be a Grandmasters, but we live in the 21st century. I doubt your body would have withstood armor-piercing bullets.” Lu Tianfen calculated in his mind.
With the financial backing of the Lu family, it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain specially made bullets and firearms.
”Family Lord!”
Many Lu family members shouted at him grievingly. Some had lowered their heads to sob. Their Family Lord was defeated, and their reputation was in tatters.
”If you are not fighting anymore, then you should be on your way now.”
Before Lu Tianfen realized what was going to happen, Chen Fan stomped a foot on Lu Tianfen's chest. Chen Fan's foot went through Lu Tianfen's rib cage and crushed his heart.
”How dare you!”
Faces around Chen Fan were contorted by anger. Lu Tianfen had already conceded defeat, why would Chen Fan kill him?
Lu Tianlong took a step forward, fist clenched tightly. It looked like he was no longer able to hold back his anger.
”You are courting death.”
Chen Fan pulled a taut face and yanked an arm up, shooting out an energy wave toward Lu Tianlong. The energy wave turned into a white streak in the air and landed on Lu Tianlong's chest. Lu Tianlong collapsed to the ground immediately and died on the spot.
A peak level Internal Force martial artist was so easily killed by Chen Fan's punch from afar.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet again.
Everyone in the Lu family felt a chill down their spines that quelled their sprouting fire and rage. They reminded themselves that the person before them might look like a meek boy, but he was the powerful and coldhearted Grandmaster, Chen Beixuan.
If he was able and dared to kill Lu Tianfen on a whim, he would kill anyone without a second thought.
The disciples of the Diamond Temple kept their silence fearfully.
Elder Qi was the only person who could still pull himself together. He furrowed brows and questioned Chen Fan's brashness in his mind. Anyone else would have hesitated before killing two important members of the Lu family. Their retribution was not a joke.
”I asked if he would surrender, but I didn't promise to spare him.” Chen Fan linked his arms behind his back and said lightly.
He wasn't sure if Lu Tianfen would be fully under his control and therefore he thought he might as well do it the easy way. Without Lu Tianfen, the Lu family would never be able to threaten him again.
By then, an elder from the Lu family said with a trembling voice.
”Grandmaster Chen, you have finished off my Family Lord as well as Tianlong, how many more innocent lives are you going to take.”
Everyone felt the weight in the speaker's words.
The Lu family was an influential and powerful family clan. They controlled over tens of billions of assets and the family was linked to each and every aspect of life in Tian Nan region.
”If you as a group still think of revenge, I might as well kill all of you.” Chen Fan scanned the crowd and his gaze gave people the goosebumps.
His eyes held the cold and indifferent luster that belonged to a mass murderer. However, upon closer look, it also resembled that of an immortal who was so detached from worldly sentiments that remorse or regret meant nothing to him. In his eyes, the humans were no more important than ants.
”The Lu family will surrender and will never ever stand in your way.”
The old man slowly lowered his head.
”Great-Great Grandpa!” Lu Haixuan shouted heartbrokenly. His painful emotion was shared among other family members.
The old man was in his nineties and was one of the oldest men in the Lu family. He would be the one in charge of the family now since Lu Tianfen was dead. His surrender obligated the other family members to do the same.
Many martial artists watched the development unfold in fear.
