Chapter 166, Dauntless

Boom~

Not for a second did the explosion stopped.

Huangpu Qingyun had now clashed two hundred times with Zhuo Fan. Adding 5th elder’s hammer blows, it made for a total of four hundred yet Zhuo Fan had not once lost his cool.

No matter how the two attacked, they could not even scratch him.

With cold laughter, Zhuo Fan was now looking at them as if they were a bunch of noisy children, hardly of any threat.

Hu~

Suddenly, the azure flame flickered above Zhuo Fan slowly dissipated. Zhuo Fan’s brow was locked, finally sporting a serious face.

[Almost there!]

“Humph, have you swung enough? My turn then.”

Snorting, the ever passive Zhuo Fan just stretched his hand and gripped Huangpu Qingyun’s wrist in a vise.

Bam!

A simple ordinary fist hit the man squarely in the belly and gave Huangpu Qingyun the feeling as if a mountain bore through. He then whistled through the air like a ragdoll.

Only to pass through dozens of buildings on his way and ending under a pile of rubble.

With one down, Zhuo Fan looked askance at the ever swinging 5th elder. One wing shifted and flowed along the hammer like a viper and latched onto his shoulder.

The other whipped him on the chest.

Bam!

With a thunderous sound that could only be made by a crumbling mountain, 5th elder flew into the air before smacking into the ground, leaving behind a deep hole.

When he staggered out of it, he slipped and fell down, spewing blood.

“Five… ribs broken!” 5th elder tried to bear through the pain as his brow was marred with cold sweat.

He had never suffered this much in his entire life as a body cultivator. Worse, just one thrash was all it took to break his five ribs.

Huangpu Qingyun faired no better. He got out of the rubble only to hit the dirt, and spat OUT blood five times; with pieces of flesh in the puddle.

Clutching his stomach, he was aware of the heavy wounds his organs suffered. But his shock of Zhuo Fan’s power trumped it.

He cultivated the Imperial Tyrant Body Art yet, couldn’t take even a punch?

The azure flame died from his forehead and Zhuo Fan eyed the two coldly. He lightly stepped out of the footprints he made and patronized, “I gave you not one, but two chances. It’s you who are too weak to make use of them. You ought to be convinced of your defeat by now. So it is only proper for me to take your lives.”

The crowd was in complete shock!

With the two of them being second young master of Regent Estate and 5th elder of Hell Valley, they may be beaten at every turn, but only they had the privilege of killing others whenever and however they wanted. It was not supposed to be not the other way around. It was as if their killer couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the seven houses’ retaliation.

But the crowd doubled back and wondered again, [Who is this man?]

Demon Zhuo Fan, killer of the insidious You Guiqi. So, why would he care if he messed with Hell Valley, again?

When one of the Seven Noble Houses was offended, what difference would it make if he added another?

This realization got the audience’s expectation to rise!

The Seven Noble Houses had no one to answer to for a thousand years, until now. This was perhaps a once in a lifetime chance to see the Seven Noble Houses finally being on the receiving end. It was high time they got what they deserved in full.

They masked the joy they felt, silently cheering.

[Grandmaster Zhuo, you’re our man! Kill them, kill them all…]

Besides, it had nothing to do with them anyway. It wasn’t like enjoying the show was a capital crime!

Zhuo Fan seemed to have heard their hearts and stepped towards Huangpu Qingyun with killing intent in his eyes.

Huangpu Qingyun was downright panicking, finally getting acquainted with the taste of fear for the very first time. He never saw someone as powerful as Zhuo Fan, nor one to have such a matching imposing flair.

Deep down, he began to feel like a meager ant waiting to be squished.

Sweating like a pig, Huangpu Qingyun fell backward with a mask of fear and not even trying to put on a token of resistance.

Hell Valley’s 5th elder felt just as helpless.

This freak Zhuo Fan surpassed their expectations. He wanted to go and help but he needed power, which he didn’t possess. Also, what was he doing going around helping Regent Estate’s second young master when his situation was no better?

However, a seven-colored mist flew at the squinting Zhuo Fan, “Rainbow Cloud Palm, Yan Song!”

“Of course it is me!”

Vicious Pill King propped his frail body as he used the signature profound ranked martial art of Pill King Hall. His mouth curved into a grin, “Grandmaster Zhuo, I admit your refining skill is thousands of times better than mine, but your escape is nigh impossible from the poison of my Rainbow Cloud Palm.”

“Yan Song, putting up this front will only speed your death. Why must you throw your life away?” Zhuo Fan frowned as he shouted at Vicious Pill King.

Grinning, Vicious Pill King raised his head and sighed, “Repaying favor with favor!”

Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow and secretly nodded.

Boom!

The seven-colored poisoned mist swallowed Zhuo Fan whole.

Huangpu Qingyun was grasping straws at this point, happy to find hope in this frail rescuer, “Thank you Elder Yan, but this brat is a freak of nature. Can your Rainbow Cloud Palm handle him?”

“Cough, cough… no, it can only buy time!”

Using a profound ranked martial art with an already weary and damaged body only aggravated his precarious state resulting in a vicious coughing fit, followed by spitting blood. Yan Fu could no longer stand still and watch him suffer, but Vicious Pill King gestured to him to stand down.

“Second young master, the Bursting Pill has increased his power to Profound Heaven Stage for a short while, but it comes with side effects. As this power isn’t his to begin with, once the time is up… cough~”

“You’re saying he’ll go back to normal?” Huangpu Qingyun’s eyes shined, his face ecstatic. He could see the dawn of victory on the horizon.

Vicious Pill King smiled, “It won’t stop there. He forced himself to increase his power and it will undoubtedly harm his body, no matter how tough he is. Once his boost is sapped, his body will be torn from the inside, his power is waning. He will be nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter!”

“We just need to hang on for a bit and victory will be ours!” Huangpu Qingyun found hope rekindled. 5th elder was thrilled as well.

“But how long can he last?” 5th elder asked nervously, and Huangpu Qingyun looked at Yan Song eagerly.

Snickering, Vicious Pill King’s eyes glinted at the rainbow mist, “Not long. You may not have noticed but the azure flame wisped away from his forehead. His time is running short.”

Huangpu Qingyun reddened with shame. The two were scared shitless and that made them lose all reason.

Vicious Pill King shook his head, fully grasping the seriousness of the situation, “Second young master, you can’t blame yourselves. This brat is too cunning, seeing through you and having you buy into his fake bravado. He is now under my Rainbow Cloud Palm and is suffering from its poison. He will soon be too weak to put up any resistance.”

Huangpu Qingyun was immensely grateful. He could finally see the light. Chu Qingcheng however, was frowning in worry.

Then a sudden laughter came from within the mist.

“Ha-ha-ha, you’re indeed praise worthy, Vicious Pill King. I can’t hide the Bursting Pill’s side effect from you! Although, you are wrong about one thing. The time I have to kill the likes of you is aplenty!”

“Humph, Grandmaster Zhuo, you can’t fool me! You had your chance before, but now, under my Rainbow Cloud Palm’s poison, your Yuan Qi will be sapped even faster!”

“Oh, you mean these seven poisons?”

More laughter spread from the mist, “Elder Yan, you may not recall our discussion but, to whom this world belonged to again?”

“My answer is to men and smart people, naturally!” Vicious Pill King didn’t know where Zhuo Fan was going with this.

With another laughter, Zhuo Fan continued, “Mine is different. The world belongs only to the strong!”

Suddenly, black billowing energy spewed from within the seven-colored mist and swallowed the poison mist whole. And from amidst the black energy, Zhuo Fan strutted out like a king, unharmed and untouched.

“Impossible! Pill King Hall’s thousand-year-long research in the seven poisons…” Bug-eyed, Vicious Pill King staggered two steps back.

All the shocks he experienced today paled to this.

Grinning, Zhuo Fan’s eyes flashed, “Old man, do you get my meaning? I am not saying you should lump me together with those useless broads. What I’m saying is not to take me for a weakling, the same as them. Your poison only works on the weak, with not one damn effect on the strong like me.”

Vicious Pill King gasped heavier and heavier. Unknown if from shock or anger.

But Iris Overseer was so pissed her eyes spat fire, “Who is this brat calling weak?”

“Easy now, easy, it’s all just an act.” Xie Tianyang placated her, and smiled, “Moreover, his words clarified that you and he have nothing going on. This is for your own good. At least Regent Estate won’t come finding faults with you.”

“Yeah, darling’s words are savage but he’s always looking out for us. Not to mention, we are indeed weaker than darling!” Xiao Dandan looked at him like a love-struck puppy. Infatuated the more she gazed upon him, and grew in boldness as well.

Peony Overseer pinched her, “Damn girl, you’re starting to get on my nerves…”
