Chapter 33 - He Must Die
“What did he say?”
“Damn, he’s too detestable! He actually dared to humiliate Senior Brother Zhong Li like that!”
“Kill him. He must be killed as a warning to others!”
The crowd immediately grew furious, feeling as though Chen Fan's words were not only directed at Zhong Li but also at them.
Hou Qing was slightly taken aback but quickly grasped the situation. A look of wild joy flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, “Damn, damn! You trash really deserves to die. You should be killed a thousand, ten thousand times! Just this offense alone should condemn you to death!”
“Brother Zhong, you must kill him and cut him into a million pieces. He deserves to die for showing you no respect at all. He is detestable, extremely detestable!”
Boom!
Even though Zhong Li’s expression remained as indifferent as before, a wild and violent wind rose around him, sweeping sand, rocks, and fallen leaves into the air.
“Good, very good. You’re the first one to dare speak to me like that!” Zhong Li laughed coldly and made his move, taking a step forward.
Boom boom!
The violent wind around him intensified, exerting a terrifying pressure that rushed toward Chen Fan. He felt like his primeval qi wasn’t circulating smoothly. Even his blood flow had become slower.
“What a terrifying aura!”
“So, this is the wrath of a Qi Grandmaster? It’s indeed terrifying. That aura alone makes me want to vomit blood and kneel on the ground.”
“Isn’t that right? As expected of the outer sect’s number one.”
The crowd also felt the oppressive aura emanating from Zhong Li. Their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly retreated, trying to escape the range of that pressure.
“Haah!”
Chen Fan let out a furious roar, revolving the primeval qi in his dantian. A gale blew around him, opposing that terrifying pressure. He stood straight as an arrow, his sharp gaze staring at Zhong Li.
“Kneel!”
Zhong Li narrowed his gaze and took another step forward, intensifying the oppressive pressure emanating from him.
“Ugh!”
Chen Fan stifled a grunt, feeling like a massive, invisible hand was pressing down on him, wanting to force him to bend and submit to Zhong Li.
“Not even heaven and earth can make me kneel, let alone you. Who do you think you are to demand that I kneel? Are you worthy?” Chen Fan roared furiously, gradually straightening his slightly bent back.
Chen Fan couldn't withstand the terror of a Qi Grandmaster’s wrath. The mere aura suffocated him as if the source wasn’t a person but an ancient ferocious beast capable of effortlessly tearing him apart.
“You’re really a lame duck, Chen Fan. You’re about to be cooked, yet that mouth of yours is still so stubborn!” Zhong Li said coldly, his aura growing stronger. “Heaven and earth can’t make you kneel, but I can! If I want you to kneel, you have no choice but to kneel. Kneel and repent for your sins. I have already given you two chances to stay alive; unfortunately, you have missed them all. Today, I will make you die on your knees. No one can save you!”
“Argh, who do you think you are? You’re nothing more than a fart!”
The oppressive pressure descended, bearing down on Chen Fan like a mountain, rendering him immobile. Chen Fan resisted stubbornly, his face flushed and the veins on his forehead popping out. A terrifying, savage light continued to shine in his eyes.
“Good, very good. I like seeing this look of defiance in people. But it’s a pity. Under my suppression, no amount of roaring or shouting will help you. You still have to kneel to me, and you still have to die! I don’t even have to lift a finger to kill you. A Qi Grandmaster like me can kill you with their aura alone. I shall ensure you perish while kneeling, serving as a warning to others. I’ll let everyone in the outer sect know that no one can infringe upon my prestige.”
Zhong Li's declaration rang coldly as he walked closer to Chen Fan, emanating his formidable aura.
“Break for me, break, break!”
Chen Fan roared madly. His primeval qi worked to the limits, frantically releasing his cultivation to resist Zhong Li’s suppression.
He felt like his blood vessels were about to burst, and his bones were about to shatter under that pressure.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
“Ahhhhhhh...”
Chen Fan didn’t give in. Despite his back already being bent, he exerted every ounce of effort to straighten it.
“It’s useless. Kneel for me!”
Zhong Li smiled coldly, shaking his head. Suddenly, he trembled, making the air quake as the full force of a Qi Grandmaster's pressure erupted.
“Pfft!”
Immediately, Chen Fan felt like a sledgehammer had struck him.
Chen Fan shook violently. His organs shifted positions, his bones emitted creaking sounds, and he hunched over, vomiting fresh blood.
“You see that? This is the difference between us. In front of me, you’re no different from an ant. All it takes is a thought to kill you!”
Zhong Li’s voice carried a trace of arrogance.
“Stop!”
A furious roar suddenly reverberated through the air
Zhong Li’s expression sank, and a vicious light shone in his eyes. His palm moved, aiming to strike down Chen Fan and end his life then and there.
“Audacious!”
That voice was full of anger. With a swoosh, a qi force shot over, smashing into Zhong Li’s palm seal and shattering it.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, a figure landed in front of Chen Fan. His aura easily pushing back Zhong Li’s Qi Grandmaster’s aura, even forcing him two steps back.
The newcomer was none other than Qin Changkong.
“Qin Changkong, you dare block me!?”
Zhong Li’s expression turned ugly, staring at Qin Changkong with an icy cold gaze.
Despite Qin Changkong being an Elder of the outer sect, Zhong Li addressed him by name, displaying no trace of respect. Not only that, his tone was threatening and interrogative.
“Audacious! How dare an outer sect disciple address an elder by their name! Do you believe I won't execute you on the spot?!” Qin Changkong shouted furiously. His qi pressure erupted, causing Zhong Li’s expression to stiffen.
“Very well, Qin Changkong. Don't forget that I am a member of the Heaven's Alliance. You dare not to give me any face?” Zhong Li emphasized the words “Heaven’s Alliance” heavily, his threat apparent.
“Audacious!”
Qin Changkong bellowed once again, making the crowd's eardrums ring.
As an expert in the Yuanfu realm, he had already cultivated a primeval vessel within him, condensing an immense amount of primeval force. His shout, amplified with primeval force, was much more powerful than primeval qi.
Qin Changkong showed no expression as he said indifferently, “Face is earned through one's own merits. If Duan Jingtian were present, perhaps I would show him some respect. But you, an outer sect disciple, dare to threaten this Elder. If you don’t retreat now, I can charge you with the offense of contradicting an Elder.”
Zhong Li’s expression sank. He stared at Chen Fan with killing intent and said, “Count yourself lucky today, Chen Fan. But I’ll make sure you die an ugly death at the Outer Sect Grand Competition!”
“And you, Qin Changkong!”
Zhong Li shifted his gaze onto Qin Changkong as he said, “Do not think that your status as an Elder grants you any power over me. I’m already a Qi Grandmaster and can enter the inner sect after the Outer Sect Grand Competition and advance into the Yuanfu realm. I’ll have plenty of methods to deal with an outer sect elder like you then.
Zhong Li took a pause, and his lips twisted into an evil smile. "I've heard that your daughter, Qin Yao, is a beauty. Just wait. When I enter the inner sect, I will have you send her to my bed."
“You’re courting death!”
Qin Changkong flew into a rage upon hearing this.
His terrifying Yuanfu instantly erupted, sweeping up the sand and rocks and making the crowd vomit mouthfuls of blood. Not even Zhong Li was an exception.
“Haha, you wish to kill me? That’s not happening. Just wait. I’ll have you two wish you were dead!”
Zhong Li burst out in laughter. His figure moved, turning into a white blur. With a few leaps, he was gone without a trace; only his arrogant voice was left, still echoing.
Damn it! Damn it! Zhong Li, just wait. I’ll definitely kill you! Definitely!
Chen Fan roared in his heart.
Zhong Li had threatened and humiliated Qin Changkong and harbored malicious intentions toward Qin Yao. He deserved to die. He must die!
