Chapter 519: Chapter 174: Arrogant and Despotic Ruffians! The Stunned Citizens of the Imperial City! (10,000-character Mega Chapter, Subscribe Please)_1
Arrogant! Outrageous! Overbearing!
The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan had never seen such an overbearing person before; not only had this guy kicked open the grand entrance of the Fu family’s estate upon arrival, causing the doors to fly off their hinges and injure several Fu Clan disciples from the Imperial City.
Not to mention there was not the slightest concern or fear.
He openly declared that he had killed three members of the Fu Clan and did so with a nonchalant air!
As if he had merely swatted three ants.
In other words, this person had killed members of the Fu Clan and even had the audacity to seek out the Fu Clan to cause more trouble!
How many years had it been?
How many years had it been since he’d seen someone capable of such suicidal folly?
No!
He should say, he had never seen one!
The veins beside the Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan’s temples were quivering faintly, hinting at the towering rage brewing within him, which must be ferociously intense.
"What are you talking about?" The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan asked through gritted teeth, "Do you know where you are?"
"Have I not made myself clear?" Fan Wu laughed. "I delivered justice for the people, killed three worthless men. To support righteousness, I came here directly. I know where I am, the illustrious Fu Clan of the Great Zhou Imperial City, the main family of the Great Zhou Fu Clan. I had already heard of you back in Nanjun."
"Since you’ve heard of us... why would you still commit such an act?" The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan struggled to suppress his rage.
Fan Wu’s words did not carry a provocative tone, but the Elder sensed provocation within them.
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had meaning—it was a case in point.
Yet the Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan didn’t let his fury burst forth, biting down on his teeth before asking, "Who instructed you?!"
Indeed!
He believed... there must be someone behind Fan Wu pulling the strings.
Otherwise, an outsider who knew of the Fu Clan’s reputation, no matter how foolish, wouldn’t have sought them out on his own.
"No one," Fan Wu replied truthfully.
"No one?" The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Without someone behind the scenes, without puppeteering, with only a stolen heart of bold ambitions, he dared to come here to kill?
Was the Fu Clan just that unlucky to encounter such a fool?
Then, to suffer the loss of three clansmen?
"If someone was instructing me, don’t you think that person would have ambushed you by now? As soon as you showed up, you would have been dead," Fan Wu retorted with a smile.
The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan choked on his words for a moment.
Yes indeed!
If there truly was a shadowy backer, they would surely have ill intentions toward the Fu Clan.
Perhaps they even intended to target the Fu Clan!
To eradicate the Fu Clan!
But since no rats hidden in the dark surfaced when he made his appearance, it indicated that there were no such manipulators behind the scenes.
It was indeed this naive young man before him, so-called delivering justice for the people, upholding righteousness.
Crack—
The intense and towering rage caused the slabs beneath the Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan to crack into fine lines. He realized that the fellow before him was indeed a naïve youth!
He was that kind of fool who, with a naïve heart, wished to fight on behalf of the world and restore fairness and justice!
The three of their Fu Clan who had gone to collect rent were merely unlucky to meet such a fool.
And then they were killed.
And now...such a fool with an incredibly naïve idea had come knocking.
The situation made sense now.
"Huff..." The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan exhaled a turbid breath fiercely. His gaze seemed to look past Fan Wu to the several others behind him as he said coldly, "So there’s more than one fool here. From the accent of your voice, you’re from out of town, too."
"You mentioned Nanjun just now, so all of you naïve young fools must have come from Nanjun, right? You have no idea what the Fu Clan signifies in the Great Zhou Imperial City, let alone in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"You few, by killing Fu Clan members in broad daylight and recklessly descending upon the Fu Clan...
"You’ve chosen your own path to death!"
The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan whirled around, not even bothering to look at Fan Wu and the others, and gave a cold shout, "Why are you still standing there? Kill these maniacs and avenge our kinsmen’s blood!"
With that,
The Seventh Elder of the Fu Clan returned to the estate without looking back, as if he, being of kinder heart, could not bear to witness the upcoming bloodshed.
The remaining dozens of Fu Clan cultivators, upon receiving the orders of the Seventh Elder, instantly launched an attack in Fan Wu’s direction!
They had grown impatient already; to them, someone like Fan Wu who had killed their clan members...
In their eyes, he was as good as dead.
"Madman! Welcome death!" The Fu Clan cultivator who shouted these words was the only one who hadn’t charged toward Fan Wu with the rest.
He held a large bow in his hand, gripping the bow’s body firmly with one hand while resting the other on its string, lightly pinching a long arrow between two fingers.
The arrow was quite special, with tiny talisman script etched onto its shaft. Instead of a metal tip, the arrowhead was made from a folded talisman paper.
As the cultivator channeled his mana, the talisman paper on the arrowhead sparked with conspicuous electricity and emitted a faint crackling sound.
