Chapter 158: Chapter 157 The Prestige of the King of Heaven
At that mont, Ye Fan said, "It’s your turn!"
Finally, unable to contain the fear in his heart, the elder broke down and tried to flee. But just as he leaped into the air, he was enveloped by a shadow. The mont it fell over him, Ye Fan’s overwhelming power pierced straight through his body.
"AH!"
His scream awakened many people nearby. Just like that, two renowned elders from the Sky Sword Sect had been finished off by Ye Fan.
Not only were the martial artists still in battle shocked, but even Shangguan Qiuyue, who had been hiding in the shadows, was stunned. Now, she didn’t have the slightest thought of trying to control Ye Fan anymore.
She had known Ye Fan was a fierce tiger, but she had never imagined this tiger could be so terrifying.
However, as her mind raced, a scream pulled her back to reality. Shangguan Qiuyue looked toward the sound and saw that Shangguan Jinhong had been struck by the Blood Saber Ancestor. He went flying backward, his body covered in wounds. Although the injuries weren’t fatal, there was no doubt he wouldn’t last much longer. If the Blood Saber Ancestor struck again, he would surely perish.
Disregarding the danger to her own life, Shangguan Qiuyue darted out from her hiding spot and ran toward Ye Fan.
She arrived before him and said anxiously, "Save my grandfather!"
"He’s courting death. I can’t be bothered, nor will I save soone so arrogant!"
Ye Fan decisively refused. Even as the martial artists of the Shangguan Family were being rcilessly slaughtered around him, his heart remained completely unmoved.
Seeing her grandfather, Shangguan Jinhong, about to be killed by the Blood Saber Ancestor, Shangguan Qiuyue pleaded frantically, "I’m begging you, please save him!"
Ye Fan remained unmoved, looking at her as if it were none of his business.
Just then, Shangguan Qiuyue suddenly knelt before him. "Even if my Shangguan Family has wronged you, I beg you, please save him! I’ll agree to whatever you ask!"
Ye Fan looked at her and said, "Get up."
"I am not an unfeeling person, but your Shangguan Family has gone too far. You thought you could control everything, acting so high and mighty. Little did you know, in the eyes of so, the actions of your Shangguan Family are nothing more than a clown’s performance!"
He emphasized his last few words, and Shangguan Qiuyue suddenly seed to understand sothing.
anwhile, the Blood Saber Ancestor spoke to Shangguan Jinhong with a mocking tone, "Old fool, where do you think you can run now? I’ll kill you today, then take control of the Shangguan Family and make them serve , hahaha!"
Although the Shangguan Family wasn’t powerful in terms of martial strength, they possessed great wealth. They were particularly strong in the secular world, so controlling such a family was indeed a worthwhile prize.
At this, Shangguan Jinhong cursed angrily, "In your dreams!"
"Oh, really?"
The Blood Saber Ancestor conjured a blade of red energy and sent it flying toward Shangguan Jinhong, who felt his heart sink in despair, knowing he was no match for his foe.
But just as the red blade was about to reach him, it was shattered by an even more powerful force. Having narrowly escaped death, a stunned Shangguan Jinhong turned his head and saw that it was Ye Fan.
Instantly, a complex feeling washed over him. He never expected Ye Fan’s strength to be so formidable, especially after he had mocked him. This was a complete slap in his own face.
Ye Fan stepped forward. The Blood Saber Ancestor gathered an even more powerful force to confront him, unleashing his blood saber. In response, a phantom Dragon Claw materialized to et it.
After the strike, Ye Fan stood unmoving, while the Blood Saber Ancestor retreated several steps before steadying himself. The ground where his feet had landed caved in. He had clearly reached the limit of what he could withstand.
"Dragon Claw Hand! Are you the King of Heaven?"
The Blood Saber Ancestor was horrified. Only now did he realize Ye Fan’s identity. This was the King of Heaven, the foremost among the world’s seven Kings—the very sa King of Heaven renowned for having single-handedly slain another King.
To slaughter a King would seem like a fanciful tale to others, but for the King of Heaven, it was all too simple. The Dragon Claw Hand was one of his signature moves. Instantly, the Blood Saber Ancestor felt an imnse pressure, a stark contrast to his deanor just monts before. The man standing before him was none other than the incomparable King of Heaven.
He had never expected to provoke the King of Heaven. Facing him, he had no chance of winning, not even with the combined might of the entire Sky Sword Sect. Only those who had long moved in the underground world truly understood what the na ’King of Heaven’ signified.
It wasn’t just the Ancestor; Shangguan Jinhong was also shocked, never imagining this young man to be the King of Heaven. At that mont, his cheeks burned with sha. He had been so arrogant, belittling the King of Heaven earlier. If he had known Ye Fan’s identity, he wouldn’t have dared, not even with a hundred tis the courage. The thought was terrifying. No wonder Ye Fan had said he alone could exterminate the Sky Sword Sect. For others, that was impossible, but the King of Heaven was an exception. For the King of Heaven, it really was that simple. He could only bla himself for his blindness—for failing to recognize greatness when it stood right before him. At this mont, Shangguan Jinhong wished he could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
Then there was Shangguan Qiuyue. Even as a formidable woman, she would never dare to dream of controlling the King of Heaven. How laughable that she had previously wanted to recruit Ye Fan to fight for the Shangguan Family. It was utterly ridiculous. He had seen through her intentions long ago, which explained his remark: ’Your Shangguan Family’s actions, which you think are so clever, are nothing more than a clown’s performance in so people’s eyes.’ Now she finally understood that Ye Fan had been mocking her. Though she was intelligent and decisive, the King of Heaven was no pushover. A man ranked first among the seven Kings relied on more than just martial power; his intellect was paramount. At this thought, a deep blush crept up her face. The King of Heaven was also the man she admired most. She believed that the only person in the world who could truly command her was the King of Heaven.
As for the onlookers, they were all dumbstruck upon hearing the na "King of Heaven." The martial artists of the Sky Sword Sect stumbled backward in terror. A single man had petrified more than two hundred of them. Such was the might of a King.
Ye Fan spoke, "That’s right, I am the King of Heaven. You aren’t a complete fool."
"King of Heaven, you and I have stayed out of each other’s way. Don’t be so arrogant!" the Blood Saber Ancestor blustered, but his voice lacked any conviction. Ye Fan was simply too strong, inconceivably so. All of his previous arrogance had vanished.
Ye Fan said, "’We keep to ourselves,’ you say? We had no grudges, yet your Sky Sword Sect’s four Great Protectors relentlessly pursued . From that mont on, your Sky Sword Sect and I beca enemies!"
"King of Heaven, if you stop now, the enmity between us can be wiped clean!" the Blood Saber Ancestor offered. He was so terrified of the King of Heaven that he could only swallow his pride and plead for a compromise.
But Ye Fan shook his head. "A shattered mirror can never be made whole again. Since we are already enemies, let’s settle this today."
"Blood Saber Ancestor, make your move," Ye Fan said calmly.
But everyone could hear the finality in his tone. There was no room for negotiation.
