"I'm sorry. Forgive my bluntness. I'm here to say that every single one of you is trash!"
To say this at the Martial Arts tournant, to a gathering of Martial Arts Heavenly List Masters?
Yes, while the so-called Heavenly List was largely an empty title with heavily padded credentials—after all, the vast territory of Huaxia was teeming with hidden masters—these were still genuine Dark Energy Great Success experts! And a teenager dared to utter such outrageous words to masters old enough to be his father or grandfather?
The air seed to freeze in the wake of Qin Fan's audacious declaration! Even Ye Jizu was startled by his words!
Goddamn it! Arrogant, too damn arrogant! But I like it! That's the kind of supre confidence he needs!
If it weren't for the trouble it would cause, Ye Jizu would have burst out laughing.
A suffocating silence lasted for more than ten seconds before a furious roar shattered it. "Insolent!"
Master Liu Chengguang, ranked third on the Heavenly List, took a heavy step forward. His power, just a bottleneck away from breaking through to the Dark Energy Peak of a half-step Grandmaster, sent a terrifyingly chilling aura across the tournant grounds.
"You're not good enough," Qin Fan said, shaking his head with his hands still clasped behind his back, undeterred by Liu Chengguang's fierce aura. "I already said it: all of you, co at at once! I don't want to waste ti picking you off one by one. Co on, let properly test the strength of the so-called Martial Arts World's Heavenly List! Today, we'll see if you can teach a lesson, or if I'll be the one to grind the Heavenly List into the dust!"
As the situation escalated, the playful look vanished from his face, replaced by a stern expression as he swept his gaze over the assembled masters.
「Below the stage.」
A Martial Artist who had reached Dark Energy Great Success began to tremble as he watched the young man standing with his hands behind his back, a cold sweat beading on his pale face. He was Master Guo, the very man who had witnessed Qin Fan kill the near-Grandmaster, Lan Tianchun!
At the sa ti, among the onlookers in the outer crowd, two or three others had the exact sa reaction as Master Guo; they had also been witnesses at the Nine Dragons Teahouse when Qin Fan killed Lan Tianchun.
"Master Guo, what's wrong with you?" asked a prominent figure next to him, who also coveted power in Lingnan, stunned by Master Guo's reaction.
"N-no, nothing!" Master Guo stamred.
But only a few had witnessed Qin Fan's true power. To the other masters who knew nothing of him, Qin Fan had utterly enraged them.
This is an outright challenge to the entire Martial Arts World! What an arrogant, clueless brat who doesn't know the aning of death!
"Ignorant child, allow to teach you a lesson before I compete with the other masters!" On the stage, a rugged, dark-skinned man could no longer hold back. With a cold snort, his figure shot toward Qin Fan in a furious assault! A gale of unrestrained power howled around him, an attempt to intimidate the ignorant boy from the very start!
But he was to be disappointed. Not only did Qin Fan not flinch or tremble before his imposing aura, but he didn't even spare him a glance, simply allowing the man to charge him. Seeing this, many in the crowd below sneered, certain they were about to witness Qin Fan's ignorant demise.
Silently waiting for his opponent's attack, Qin Fan moved the instant the man was upon him. With a flick of his left wrist, he swept the back of his hand toward the dark-skinned man, his blow heavy and powerful, delivered without even looking.
The man could have dodged, but he didn't. Instead, he let out a derisive snort and t the attack head-on.
In the next mont, he regretted it.
The price for his arrogance was a sensation like his chest had been struck by a high-speed train! He was sent flying backward from the re sweep of Qin Fan's hand! A spray of shockingly crimson blood erupted from his mouth as his body crashed heavily onto the arena floor!
BOOM!
The arena, reinforced with bundles of steel rebar, groaned as if it were about to collapse. After hitting the ground, the dark-skinned man coughed up another mouthful of blood. The man who had defeated the Heavenly List's tenth-ranked Xiong Tianlin of Dragon and Tiger Mountain was rendered incapable of fighting in a single move.
Although his overconfidence was a factor, it did nothing to diminish the demonstration of Qin Fan's power. Instead of the pathetic cries for rcy they expected from Qin Fan, the crowd saw the naless fighter who had just defeated the Heavenly List's tenth-ranked master lying grievously injured. Every master below the stage stared with wide, incredulous eyes.
They wished it was an illusion. But no matter how many tis they rubbed their eyes, the scene remained unchanged: Qin Fan still stood with his hands casually clasped behind his back, while the man who had briefly replaced the tenth ranker convulsed on the ground, unable to rise.
"I said, all of you, at once! Stop wasting my ti!" Qin Fan brought his hands forward, pointed a finger at the group of masters, and drew a lazy circle.
"Damn it!" the masters hissed through clenched teeth.
After witnessing Qin Fan dispatch the dark-skinned man with a single backhand, no one dared to underestimate the teenager any longer. They had no ti to wonder how soone so young could possess such cultivation. Faced with this blatant provocation, their pride and the honor of the Martial Arts World made it impossible to endure any longer.
"Attack!" Liu Chengguang roared, his body launching forward like an arrow loosed from its bow. He landed on the arena in the blink of an eye, his feet hitting the stage with a thunderous boom. You can lose the fight, but never the presence. How could they afford to seem weak, especially before the battle had even begun?
Following the lead of Liu Chengguang, the forr third-ranked master, the other Dark Energy Great Success experts no longer hesitated and leaped onto the stage.
In an instant, only the underworld kingpins remained on the red carpet—and one other person: Master Guo.
Dripping with cold sweat, he couldn't muster the courage or the will to join the siege.
"Hmm? Master Guo?" Completely unconcerned, Ye Jizu glanced aside with a smile, only to be slightly startled when he saw Master Guo standing there all alone.
"Mr. Ye!" Master Guo forced a smile and greeted Ye Jizu, finding himself caught between a rock and a hard place. Gritting his teeth, he turned to the middle-aged man beside him. "Mr. Wang, my apologies, but I'm afraid I won't be able to assist you. I must take my leave now!"
With that, he turned and strode briskly toward the periter without a backward glance, ignoring the astonished stares from the crowd. Faced with Qin Fan, who had casually toyed with and killed the near-Grandmaster Lan Tianchun, he chose self-preservation.
「On the arena.」
Qin Fan watched the swarm of Heavenly List masters surging to surround him. A wicked smirk played on his lips. "Qin Fan of Jiangzhou. Let's not waste any more ti. Begin!"
"The dignity of the Martial Arts World cannot be shad or insulted! Today, we teach this brat a lesson!" Liu Chengguang bellowed imdiately after Qin Fan's words, calling for the attack to comnce.
But before they could even launch their assault, Qin Fan suddenly shot forward like a teor.
The disdain on his face was completely unconcealed.
