Chapter 255, Almighty Ability

Rumble!

Lin Xuanfeng rose from under the ruins with a b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and spat what seemed to be blood along with a tooth mixed in it. He looked towards Zhuo Fan, but this time he wasn’t as carefree as before.

[Soaring Demonic Dragon is a mystery in and of himself.] He didn’t even get a chance to react and was sent flying.

What’s more, Zhuo Fan did it offhandedly. If he hadn’t pulled his punches, would he even be alive right now? More importantly, the opponent’s speed was creepier than his. The speed he prided himself with turned out to have no use whatsoever!

Lin Xuanfeng’s fear of Zhuo Fan only grew stronger.

You Yushan and Yan Bangui rushed over, while looking at Zhuo Fan distraught. They had heard the rumors about the infamous Zhuo Fan, but seeing was believing, of how demonically dreadful he was.

[No wonder this guy caused chaos among the seven houses, yet was living nice and happy. His power is even weirder…]

With a dismissive wave, Zhuo Fan acted as if all was natural, and turned to Luo Yunchang, “Young miss, will you be content with such a punishment? Should I give him a kick as well?”

Lin Xuanfeng’s heart jumped and he shivered a step back. Having gone through that light slap, the Forest Fleeting Dragon of the Six Dragons and One Phoenix was shaking in his boots.

No one would ever believe it was possible, but the truth was undeniable!

Huangpu Qingtian scared him into submission with diplomacy and might. Zhuo Fan, on the other hand, did it through brutality! They were at such a level, not even the Six Dragons and One Phoenix could mess with any of them.

Luo Yunchang now picked up on Zhuo Fan’s words. His display was so frightening that even she was dazed, “Uh, no need. He only lacked manners when speaking with me. A slap is enough!”

Lin Xuanfeng eased a breath, grateful even. [Young miss Luo, you’re the best!]

But Luo Yunchang’s next words had him on the verge of wetting himself from fear.

“As for the matter regarding Yunhai…” Luo Yunchang pointed at her brother on the ground and then pleaded Zhuo Fan with big eyes, “Steward Zhuo, they hara.s.sed your young master. You can’t let this matter stand!”

Zhuo Fan’s face hardened, noticing the half grownup Luo Yunhai had his leg broken and his bloodthirst spiked, “Who did this, young master?”

Luo Yunhai shook his head helplessly.

With Zhuo Fan missing G.o.d knows where, his sister had to take over clan matters.

Her gentle and kind sister had gone through so many negotiations with her allies that it had changed her initially weak standpoint to the unbendable one of today.

Having negotiated so much, patting down, faking and being stubborn came easy! [She has turned as tough and as unreasonable as brother Zhuo!]

Especially sharp in using her female attributes to look weak and have others do the work for her, or drive a wedge. [Now that big bro Zhuo’s back, she feels left out, yet still couldn’t hide all the charm she gained from those years of handling the clan’s negotiations.]

And Zhuo Fan? Everyone here knew Zhuo Fan never took things lying down. He was even more cunning and insidious than Luo Yunchang! Looking at it in a different way, Luo Yunchang’s style was all thanks to Zhuo Fan’s influence!

Luo Yunhai, having lived in Dugu Army, knew how to gauge a situation and when to stop. He waved, “It’s nothing, brother Zhuo. I’m happy to know you’re alright and that you came back!”

“What nothing? Yunhai, has the army messed with your head? Forget about enduring it like we did before. Brother Zhuo’s back and we’re not about to take this anymore. Right…” Luo Yunchang turned to see a shocked Zhuo Fan looking back, as if he didn’t recognize her. She blushed and went back to being a meek and cute kid, “Isn’t that right?”

[Young miss, have you lost it?]

Blinking, Zhuo Fan broke out in sweat. When did the young miss become so shrewd? But that didn’t mean he didn’t like the change.

In a world where strong prey on the weak, compa.s.sion would only get one killed. Regardless of the fact whether it was a good reason to fight back or not, he still had to do it to some extent. That was Zhuo Fan’s creed and style.

The world wasn’t ruled by reason, but by might!

Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed, “Listen to your sister. When I was gone, I couldn’t help even if I wanted to! But since I’m back, there will be no compromises, or I’d be a steward for nothing!”

They all could sense the thick bloodthirst in his voice. Luo Yunhai was silent.

All men shuddered inside, admiring Zhuo Fan’s flair. While the girls swooned. Even the always ticked off Peony Overseer had to admit he struck a reliable figure with unmatched charm!

“Never mind. Yunhai must be troubled as well!”

Luo Yunchang sighed and once again changed her style as she clung to Zhuo Fan’s arm and grumbled, “He did it. He broke Yunhai’s leg!”

“Him again?” Raising an eyebrow, Zhuo Fan swiveled to Lin Xuanfeng, “It seems a slap was too light for you!”

Swallowing dryly, Lin Xuanfeng reeled two steps back, soaked to the bone in sweat. Yan Bangui and You Yushan were vigilant on either side of him.

Of this generation, besides Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord, only Zhuo Fan could instill such fear in them!

Pa!

Huangpu Qingtian’s light step put him right in front of Zhuo Fan, “Had enough?”

“Oh, you want to stop me?” Raising an eyebrow, Zhuo Fan showed his trademark evil grin.

Huangpu Qingtian was as calm as ever, not minding Zhuo Fan’s tone the least, “You’re overthinking things. No one has managed to surpa.s.s me, and you’re no different!”

The crowd watched all tensed up. [Huangpu Qingtian is on the move!]

And this was the first time that he acted out of his own initiative to block someone. He didn’t say it, but his stance was clear. He acknowledged Zhuo Fan’s strength!

Only when facing a true opponent would he stand in front of them!

His earlier attacks were casual because none of them were worthy of his attention. Zhuo Fan was the exception!

This only worked to put pressure on the crowd, eagerly watching the two monsters’ first contact.

Xie Tianshang was bitter and lonesome. All the martial fanatic in him ever wanted was to have a face to face match with Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord.

A pity he was sorely lacking in power!

Lin Xuanfeng’s group breathed easy. [With the boss taking a stand, this kid will no longer threaten us!]

And yet…

Scratching his head, Zhuo Fan grinned at the casual Huangpu Qingtian, “You think so?”

Whoosh~

Zhuo Fan vanished!

Huangpu Qingtian didn’t have time to even appreciate the novelty of the situation as Zhuo Fan’s chuckle came from a hundred meters away. He was right before Lin Xuanfeng!

“Ha-ha-ha, kid, you hurt my young master. Pay up!”

Lin Xuanfeng was scared witless. When did he get past Huangpu Qingtian and come here?

He couldn’t even get one step away as Zhuo Fan’s purple lightning enveloped leg hit him squarely in the gut. He flew for tens of meters.

The purple lightning was torturing his body until he spat blood. His organs were in a seriously damaged state!

Sss~

An all around gasp was heard. His allies, Yan Bangui and You Yushan stood rooted in fear at Zhuo’s display.

But after Lin Xuanfeng was kicked off, they struck back with a palm.

Zhuo Fan vanished again, appearing next to the twirling Lin Xuanfeng in the sky and clutched his leg with a demonic smirk, “Kid, you broke my young master’s leg. I think taking away yours sounds pretty fair!”

Lin Xuanfeng was panicking inside. He didn’t even get to beg as Zhuo Fan followed through with his threat.

“Ghostly Dragon Claw!”

Rip!

Blood spurted like a fountain, followed closely by Lin Xuanfeng’s wail of agony. Zhuo Fan threw away the leg he just tore off.

Huangpu Qingtian was shocked. This is the first time his face changed and he wanted to help. But then a voice came from behind him, “Young master Huangpu, weren’t you going to stop me? What are you doing showing me your back then?”

Shuddering, Huangpu Qingtian felt a trickle of sweat on his scalp. He turned stiffly to find Zhuo Fan still there, calm and snickering.

While on the other end, Yan Bangui and You Yushan found that the target of their attack had been switched to each other. They were sent flying and blood spilled from their lips.

However, that wasn’t as important as the looks Zhuo Fan was getting.

Zhuo Fan did all that in a breath. It wasn’t a stretch to call it an instant. He came and went three times in that short timespan.

He kicked Lin Xuanfeng, then ripped his leg off, and finally came back to his original spot. He did all that to those three men! Because it all happened too fast, Huangpu Qingtian had no way of even intercepting.

It was the same as Zhuo Fan proclaiming [Nothing is out of my reach!]

The looks of shock were as if they saw an abomination. Even Huangpu Qingtian was doing it. For the first time ever, this man felt powerless…
