Urban Most Awesome Dad - Chapter 404
Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Protector Xu, Please Stay_1
This sword, like Qi piercing through the rainbow, split the sun and the moon.
Rushing to the scene, Qian Zongsheng, Gao Ziling, and other Ancient Martial Artists happened to witness this event, immediately causing their gazes to change, filled with three parts shock, five parts horror, and two parts bewilderment. Their emotions churned, and their impression of Xu Fan underwent a tremendous transformation, filled with disbelief and deep-seated dread.
This sensation was most profound and intense for Qian Zongsheng, Gao Ziling, and another Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Although they were quite far away and had not directly felt the might of the sword, their deep understanding and use of Qi Force as Grandmaster-level powerhouses allowed them to realize the endless might carried by Xu Fan’s sword – faced with it themselves, they would have no other road but death, with no chance of escaping alive.
As Grandmasters, none of them were easy to provoke, each hiding their own trump cards.
Especially Qian Zongsheng and Gao Ziling, who as figures of power within the Flame Dragon Organization, had access to the treasures of the Flame Dragon’s reserves and naturally had their own lifesaving and desperate measures.
But if they were to use them against Xu Fan, even if they employed all their methods, they would do no better than Huang Yechun when he was possessed by the Evil Spirit, powerless to fight back; naturally, they didn’t have a better strategy either.
As for the other dozen or so Qi Drawing Realm Ancient Martial Artists, their minds were already a complete mess, trembling and unable to muster even a shred of courage.
The moment they felt the evil and violent aura emitted by Huang Yechun during the Evil Spirit Possession, they were already paralyzed with fear and had lost their composure, completely outmatched. And when they got close enough to see the monstrous black figure emitting the aura, they were all utterly dumbfounded.
Such a thing was simply beyond their comprehension, no… it overturned their worldview.
However, the black monster that had terrified everyone, which should have been unstoppable, was cleaved in two by a young man in his early twenties.
This… truly shows that there’s always someone stronger, there’s no limit to how shocked you can get.
“Gulp!”
A group of Qi Drawing Realm individuals could not help but swallow, glancing at each other, their intuition telling them that the young man was no longer human, but an existence akin to a god.
Coincidentally, Xu Qiyin had the same feeling.
At the moment, he sat on the ground, petrified, the wine glass in his hand shattering on the floor with a smash, but he seemed oblivious, his face, once proud and smug, now as pale as death.
He now finally understood the monstrous terror that was Xu Fan.
However, there are no pills for regret in this world, once provoked, it’s done.
Oda Chihide’s condition was also very bad, his body shaking violently, needing both hands to support himself against the wall to barely stand. Initially hoping that Xu Fan would be killed as an explanation to his family, he didn’t expect Xu Fan to be a greater terror. With his first move shocking everyone, the Grandmaster Realm’s complete Huang Yechun was instantly killed, far beyond his ability to handle.
Now, he could only hope that the affair involving Oda Tenshu wouldn’t provoke Xu Fan’s wrath against himself.
Qin Haowu looked down with a complex expression, feeling somewhat defeated. When the gap in strength became so vast that one could only look up, no amount of scheming mattered.
Endowed with high expectations from Qin Dongyue, Qin Haowu had been given excellent training and education from a young age. He was also full of machinations and ambition and worked hard to grow, not letting his father down and becoming one of the youngest leading figures in Zhonghai City. After taking over the family business, he performed extremely well, managing every aspect adeptly, even making the business more prosperous. He was even confident enough to propose a five-year plan to secure the Qin Family’s position as the number one family in Zhonghai City within five years, with the Sun Family and Yue Family relegated to only supporting roles, either surrendering or facing suppression.
In Qin Haowu’s view, fists could win the world, but intellect was needed to keep it. Therefore, he always looked down upon martial force, believing the era had changed and intelligence was the mainstream of progress.
Yet, after witnessing this clash of top martial forces, his life philosophy, which he had relied on, began to shake intensely, as if ravaged by a hurricane.
He had to admit, absolute power could crush all the frills and contain any deceit or trickery.
…
The two halves of the monstrous creature Huang Yechun fell to the ground, the blood that flowed out was slightly black, adding to the eeriness, and the body was still twitching. Amidst the twitching, a black mist was spreading, carrying a nauseating stench.
As the blood flowed out, Huang Yechun’s massive corpse rapidly shrank and diminished until it reverted to his original form.
Xu Fan gently landed, his robes fluttering without a breeze, and glanced at the mess on the ground with an air of indifference, as if he had just crushed an ant.
Thinking about his dominance in the Cultivation World for nearly three thousand years, he had slain countless beings, his hands long stained with fresh blood.
Among these people, Huang Yechun was merely an insignificant minor character, whose strength didn’t even rank, especially since Xu Fan had eliminated many who were thousands of times more powerful than Huang Yechun.
Huang Yechun met a thorough death, but his end was far better than Yano Luo’s—it did not result in the utter dispersal of his soul. He deserved his death, so Xu Fan felt entirely justified in killing him.
However, the mastermind behind the incident with Ye Xiaoning was still another person—Xu Qiyin.
Xu Fan looked up again at the top of the Jun Tian Grand Hotel, unable to sense Xu Qiyin’s gaze, fearing that this fellow was now completely panicked, not knowing how to face him next.
However… Xu Fan had no intention of letting it slide just like that.
If Xu Qiyin was too afraid to come down to face him, then Xu Fan would simply go up.
With a cold sneer, Xu Fan stepped towards the hotel’s main entrance.
“Protector Xu, please wait!”
Suddenly, someone called out to him from behind.
Xu Fan shook his head in resignation and turned around to look at Qian Zongsheng and Gao Ziling.
The first time the two had seen Xu Fan, they had regarded him as a young man who was an exceptional novice in the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm.
Seeing him now, they realized that Xu Fan’s strength had long since surpassed their own, and naturally, their attitudes had changed.
Especially Gao Ziling, whose heart was filled with bitter numbness, praying that Xu Fan wouldn’t remember his vendetta against him.
“Minister Qian, Protector Gao, what brings you two here?” Xu Fan asked, feigning ignorance.
Qian Zongsheng felt as if he was being questioned, but still managed to speak with a dry mouth and a forced boldness, “Protector Xu, you’ve made too much of a scene this time.”
“And then?”
Xu Fan responded.
He was no rash and impetuous youth, acting impulsively and recklessly. Before deciding to take this action, he had already prepared himself to face the consequences.
Even if the outcome wasn’t good, he didn’t care because he believed it was something worth doing.
“Protector Xu… please stop now, let’s end this matter here.”
Qian Zongsheng paused, quickly understanding Xu Fan’s indication that further accountability was pointless at this stage and conceded, “The major powers of the Ancient Martial World once held a joint conference, setting laws that forbid Martial Arts Grandmasters and Ancient Martial Artists of higher realms from acting arbitrarily in the Secular World. If discovered, they will be pursued by the Flame Dragon Organization or even the Ancient Martial World.”
“Fortunately for you, Protector Xu, the ninja you eliminated was from the Island Country and he attacked you first; the fault does not lie with you, and no one will criticize you.”
“As for Huang Yechun, his use of Evil Spirit Possession means he is definitely someone from that place, and his crime deserves death. By slaying him, Protector Xu, you did no wrong, but instead performed a meritorious deed.”
“However, if Protector Xu were to become so bloodthirsty that he lashed out at ordinary people, then the nature of this issue would be entirely different. Qian admits he is no match for Protector Xu, but as a member of the Flame Dragon, when confronted with a matter of duty, I must intervene to prevent it, even if it means risking my life!”
