199 Death of a Grandmaster (2/2)
As a Grandmaster of the Tai Chi Sect, the most powerful person among the audience, he had set the final tone on the battle of the century.
Everyone agreed with the old man's conclusion fearfully.
Three months ago, Chen Beixuan had earned the title of the Grandmaster by killing the family lord of the Lu family. However, even back then, people never stopped doubting him, and some even wanted to challenge him and bring him down.
However, there and then, Chen Fan used the blood of Lei Qianjue to prove himself in front of the world. By then, not even a Perfected Cultivator dared to challenge him, much less anyone whose level was below that of Grandmaster.
Chen Fan walked toward the shore from the center of the lake; not even the soles of his shoes were slightly damp, it was as if he walked on an invisible ground ever so slightly higher than the lake surface. Everyone, including other Grandmasters such as Chen Jiuyang and Grandmaster Du, lowered their heads to show their respect.
A black haired, green eyed man of multiracial heritage walked onto the lake and approached Chen Fan.
”Are you going to avenge your teacher?” Chen Fan looked at the middle-aged man who had just rose to fame three months ago with a great measure of interest.
Chen Fan had always been very interested in Mixed Martial Arts Masters. However, as soon as he saw Romon, he realized the so-called Mixed Martial Arts Master were essentially the same as a Physique Regiment Masters. In other words, once Tong Shan had perfected the Tiger Demon's Physique Refinement Art, he could then be called a Mixed Martial Arts Master as well.
”Grandmaster Chen, you are the most powerful man in the world, to be able to die in your hands is an honor for my teacher.” Romon bowed deeply, and spoke in fluent Chinse: ”I simply wish to ask you a favor, please allow me to bring my teacher's body back to the tundra where he wanted to be buried.”
”Go ahead.” Chen Fan waved a hand distractedly.
Lei Qianjue was top five most powerful fighters in the world. If Chen Fan didn't have the powerful Azure Thearch Longevity Body, even he might not have an effective counter for the old man's powerful attacks. However, with the Azure Thearch Longevity Body, Chen Fan had wagered that the old man would last no more than three punches from him, and he was right.
Chen Fan didn't use any Martial arts Dharma Spells during his attack, instead, he simply relied on his physical strength to break the sound barrier as he punched out.
Such a simple and crude technique was not even name-worthy. If one really needed to name it, it could be called ”Hypersonic Punch.”
Not even Lei Qianjue could have withstood such a punch, much less his disciple, Romon.
Romon bowed again and then ran past Che Fan to retrieve Lei Qianjue's dead body. Afterward, he ran away while carrying his teacher's body on his shoulder.
The fight was just finished, but everyone already started to miss the sight of the incredible battle. They lamented that this might be the last time they would ever see anyone duke it out with Chen Fan.
There was only one person in the world that might be able to do that
”Ye Nantian!”
However, their match was unlikely to happen since Ye Nantian had already joined the Military and would not fight a civilian without a good cause. Seventeen years ago, Ye Nantian was already more powerful than Lei Qianjue, so it made sense that he still was. If that's the case, how many of Chen Fan's punches could he take?
Zhang Yumeng and her friends looked to Chen Fan joyfully.
They didn't know who Lei Qianjue was and what it meant to kill him in one punch, all they knew was that the handsome young man whom they had been cheering for had won the fight.
”Uh? Fei Fie, why are you here?”
By then, Chen Fan had finally taken notice the group from Chu Zhou City and was curious as to why they were here.
”Oh, look! He is looking at me, isn't he?” Zhang Yumeng's eyes turned into hearts and she gazed at Chen Fan like gazing at her idol.
Meanwhile, both Yang Chao and Li Yichen's bodies tensed up in fear.
The young man looking at them was a deadly and bloodthirsty killer. If he had a beef with any one of them, he could simply crush the entire boat like crushing a worm.
To their relief, Chen Fan didn't come closer to them, instead, he cracked a smile and walked away.
Chen Fan wagered that it was not the time to say hi since they might not even recognize his new face.
”He smiled at us!” Zhang Yumeng was elated.
”He did… it was as if he recognized us…” Li Yichen thought curiously.
Jiang Churan's body shivered slightly as he looked to Xu Rongfei incredulously. She stood right beside Xu Rongfei and the young man's smile was unmistakably for her.
However, Xu Rongfei was so innocent that she didn't pick up any of those clues. She simply laughed and gawked at the young man with everyone else.
”He… Is he really Chen Fan?”
Jiang Churan thought in disbelief and hoped that she was wrong
Although Chen Fan had displayed his ability to summon a dragon in front of her, the girl was convinced that Chen Beixuan's power was limited to the Jiang Bei region. There and then, the young man had subjugated the hearts of all Martial Artists across China, including many top dogs in the martial arts world.
Everyone looked to Chen Fan with eyes that were filled with complicated emotions. Chen Fan walked back to his junk boat and stood beside the girls in Green Qipao.
The junk boat drifted around and carried the three otherworldly god and goddess into the distance until they disappeared behind the misty rain of southern China.
”Ah! What a battle! This is going to shock everyone!”
”Twenty years old, and already famous…”
The old man from the Seven Kill Fist Sect took a large gulp of wine and let out a few slurred words.
His grandson stood next to him, eyes filled to the brim with excitement.
