The originally sky-covering black fog started to gradually dissipate as the Formation Flags stopped spinning, and the ominous atmosphere also vanished into thin air.
Zhang Beiyuan watched the scene in disbelief. He then hastily twirled his Hand Gestures, attempting to regain control of the Formation Flags in the air. However, the nine Formation Flags in the sky seed to have frozen, unresponsive to his Spells no matter how he cast them.
"How could this be? My Formation Flags... why won’t they respond to my commands?" Zhang Beiyuan muttered to himself.
Not only him, but everyone in the courtyard was also dumbfounded at that mont.
Shen Ronghua’s face was full of shock. "With just a light shout, the Nine Palace Sunlocking Formation ca to a halt. What kind of sorcery is this? Could it be that this youngster’s realm has far surpassed the Seven-turn True Person Realm?"
Tian Ying was also incredibly astonished, as the man she had looked down upon had once again shattered her expectations.
Qi Heng’s face was brimming with excitent. "I knew it! Fan is an even more formidable expert than Lu Jiuxuan, how could he possibly not handle the disciple of Lu Jiuxuan!"
Chen Fan took steps one by one towards Zhang Beiyuan and said calmly, "Is this all you’ve got, and yet you dare to threaten to kill . Don’t you find it a bit ridiculous?"
Zhang Beiyuan’s face was full of panic as he shouted, "Kid, stop gloating. You think I’m afraid of you just because you’ve controlled my Formation Flags with sorcery? You’re nothing but an ant before !"
After saying this, he threw a few talismans towards Chen Fan and triggered them to explode.
He then turned his head and ran without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Fan ignored the talismans and in a blink, he was already behind Zhang Beiyuan. "Do you think you have a chance to run now?"
Zhang Beiyuan’s face dramatically changed, and he exclaid in shock, "You... you’re also a master of Martial Arts?"
True Art Practitioners excel in Spellcasting and Formations but are clueless about close combat. Should they encounter a Martial Arts master of the sa level, without the ans to delay combat with a Formation, they stand no chance once engaged in close quarters.
He could never have imagined that Chen Fan could so easily control his Formation Flags and, on top of that, possess such swift speed. Had he known how formidable this youngster was, he would have never dared to speak of killing him.
Clenching his teeth, he turned around and said to Chen Fan, "I admit, what I said earlier was a bit too much; I apologize. Although you’re powerful, you’re still green compared to my master. You surely wouldn’t want to offend soone like my master. How about we sit down and talk this over?"
Chen Fan began to laugh and said, "Sorry, but I also don’t hold your master in my regard."
He then raised his hand, pointed from the air, and a beam of white light appeared, piercing through Zhang Beiyuan’s skull.
Zhang Beiyuan fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in terror, unable to believe that he would die here today.
The nine Formation Flags in the sky drifted down powerlessly and landed on the ground.
Everyone in the courtyard fell silent.
Only Shen Lingdie had a smile on her face as she comnted, "Aweso!"
Shen Ronghua looked at his daughter with a bewildered gaze, then quickly went over to Zhang Beiyuan, squatted down to check his neck, and after confirming there was no pulse, a solemn expression crossed his face.
He stood up, looked at Chen Fan, and said, "You’ve been too impulsive. He is Lu Jiuxuan’s disciple. Now that you’ve killed him, Lu Jiuxuan will never let you go!"
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and replied, "Oh? So you’re saying because he’s Lu Jiuxuan’s disciple, I should just stand still and let him kill ?"
Shen Ronghua’s expression stalled, realizing that Chen Fan seed to have a point.
However, he still said, "No matter what, you have completely offended Lu Jiuxuan now. Lu Jiuxuan has always been protective of his own. If he finds out his disciple died at your hands, I’m afraid he’ll hunt you down to the ends of the Earth."
Shen Ronghua pondered for a mont, then looked at Chen Fan and said, "You stood up for my daughter, and for that, I’m actually grateful to you. But how many daughters of major families can decide their own fates according to their wishes? Do you think I want to see my own daughter suffer? It’s not because I want to, but because Lu Jiuxuan is too powerful, and my Shen Family cannot afford to offend him. For the sake of the livelihood of hundreds of people in the Shen Family, I had no choice but to do this."
"You better leave quickly, leave Gang City right away and find a place where no one can find you, the farther the better. As for Zhang Beiyuan’s body, I will handle it. This is the only solution now."
Listening to Shen Ronghua’s words, Chen Fan thought to himself that Lingdie’s father wasn’t really a detestable person; many of his decisions were made out of helplessness.
He smiled at Shen Ronghua and said, "Uncle Shen, there’s no need for you to worry so much. I killed Lu Jiuxuan’s disciple because his disciple tried to kill , and I don’t feel I did anything wrong. If he wants to kill over this, then I don’t mind taking care of him as well. That way, Lingdie won’t need to marry him."
Shen Ronghua furrowed his brows, "I admit that your skills are extraordinary, but Lu Jiuxuan has been famous in Gang City for many years. He’s not so easy to deal with, don’t be too presumptuous."
Chen Fan didn’t plan to continue the argunt. Whether he could deal with Lu Jiuxuan or not, facts would prove it.
Then Shen Ronghua turned to the Shen Family’s servants, "Bring two people here to take care of this corpse. No one is to spread a word of today’s events, or face the family’s discipline!"
Imdiately two people ca forward to carry away Zhang Beiyuan’s body.
At this mont, Chen Fan went over and said, "Leave his body to , I’ll take it to Lu Jiuxuan; it might be useful."
Shen Ronghua was speechless, thinking even if you are going to find Lu Jiuxuan, do you really plan on carrying a corpse over to him? I’m more troubled for you than you are for yourself.
He was about to speak when he saw Chen Fan wave his hand, and Zhang Beiyuan’s body just vanished into thin air.
"It... it’s gone!" Shen Ronghua exclaid with a shocked face.
Everyone in the courtyard was dumbstruck.
Qi Heng was excited, "It appeared! The Great Vanishing Skill! Fan has used this move again!"
Chen Fan turned and walked over to Shen Lingdie, "I’m going now to find Lu Jiuxuan; you stay at ho for now, wait for my good news."
Shen Lingdie nodded earnestly, "Mm-hmm!"
Chen Fan then looked at Qi Heng and said, "You’re not of much use staying here either, you might as well go ho."
Qi Heng, clearly disappointed, said, "Fan, I want to see you battle it out with Lu Jiuxuan."
Chen Fan said, "It’s not impossible, but I’m not sure about how strong Lu Jiuxuan actually is. When it cos to the fight, I won’t be able to look out for you. If you’re not afraid of dying, then follow ."
Qi Heng imdiately gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Fan, look at what you’re saying; am I the kind of person who fears death? Oh that—I suddenly rembered my mom called earlier saying she missed , insisting I return ho. I couldn’t bear to refuse her, so I guess I should head ho first."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Where is Lu Jiuxuan?"
Qi Heng replied, "Azure Dragon Mountain."
Chen Fan nodded and turned to walk outside.
Shen Ronghua, anxious, called out, "Young man, if you go, you’ll only be walking down a path to certain death!"
Chen Fan smiled slightly, "It might be him who dies!"
