Chapter 132: The Big Shot Enters the Scene
In the presence of everyone, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Three Elders who transmit skills, each holding a long sword, simultaneously pierced the Great Elder's body. They stood rigidly in place, motionless, faces filled with shock and horror.
Looking at the Great Elder again, his wrinkled old face also displayed disbelief and fright. He lowered his head to look at the three swords penetrating his chest, his thoughts in chaos.
Hong Jie stared with bulging eyes, his entire body stiff as if struck by lightning. His consciousness drifted, unable to clear for a long time.
The Qi Liangping couple were completely dumbstruck. Was it so easy to kill someone by borrowing another's hand? That was a powerful figure in the late stages of the Grandmaster Realm!
"The... The Great Elder?" Hong Xin's body swayed, her lips trembling.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Miao Caijing was also in disbelief, shaking her head vigorously, clearly unable to accept the sight before her eyes.
The Miao Jiande brothers looked on in horror, speechless at the scene unfolding, "This..."
"He... has he become so powerful?" He Feiman's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, her hanging heart finally settled, her tense palms all sweaty.
However, the shock of the crowd had only just begun. In a few breaths' time, the necks of those three immobile Elders suddenly emanated a thin line of blood that gradually widened.
"Bang..."
All three collapsed in unison. The long swords they held were also pulled out from the Great Elder as they fell!
With a miserable cry, the Great Elder collapsed to the ground.
In an instant, four high-level Grandmaster Realm Elders who transmit skills were dead on the spot!
"Smack..."
Miao Xin's knees gave way and he collapsed to the ground, looking at Ling Fan with eyes full of shock and fear. Just now, it was he who made a small report to Miao Jiande; he didn't know if Ling Fan would come to settle the score with him later.
Miao Caijing's face was ashen, completely losing her composure, devoid of her previous arrogance. Just now, she was still complaining inwardly that those Elders were truly useless, standing there like idiots instead of going to kill that "trash" to avenge them. It turned out they were already dead.
From her angle, she could only see the backs of the Elders, and because her cultivation wasn't high enough, she had not seen clearly what Ling Fan had done just now.
Hong Xin bit her lip until it bled, her gaze towards Ling Fan filled with deep wariness and fear. In an instant, Hong Family's four Elders who transmit skills were slain—who could be their match? It was terrifying! Experience new tales on empire
The sudden collapsing of the four Elders' bodies was like a heavy stone smashing into the hearts of Miao Jiande and the others.
Hong Jie's body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground. Although he was also at the Grandmaster Realm, he was far inferior compared to the four Hong Family Elders who transmit skills.
"Are these four useless things all the Hong Family has to offer? It's your turn now!" Ling Fan glanced at the pale-faced Hong Jie and spoke calmly.
At the point of Ling Fan's finger, Hong Jie shuddered violently, finally coming to his senses and looking at Ling Fan as his complexion grew even paler. Where was his previously cocky demeanor?
Hong Jie felt parched and his tongue felt dry. How could this child be so heaven-defying? Those were the strongest four martial masters of the Hong Family, and they were instantly killed just like that? If he were to go up, it would just be a death in vain!
"What's the matter, scared? Didn't you just say that my life belongs only to the Hong Family? Have you forgotten so quickly?" Ling Fan sneered.
Hong Jie was ashen-faced, his chest heaving violently, but he did not have the courage to talk back.
Seeing Hong Jie turn red without daring to let out even a fart, Ling Fan immediately turned to look at Miao Caijing and pointed at her, shouting coldly, "And you, you shrew! You chattered quite a lot earlier. Now, this Young Master also gives you an opportunity. I didn't hear it clearly before, so say it again for me!"
Miao Caijing's face was pale, her hands and feet cold, but she dared not make a sound. Face mattered, but not as much as life, so she could only bite her teeth and endure!
Hong Jie, watching his wife being humiliated by the side, felt his face contort into the color of a pig's liver; he nearly snapped his steel teeth in rage.
"Hmph, I thought the Hong family was something to boast about, but with just this little capability, you dare to make noises in front of me, really damn overestimating yourself!" Ling Fan snorted coldly.
He then turned to the Miao brothers, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Just now, weren't you eager to capture me and claim credit? You can join forces with the Hong family; come at me together!"
Miao Jiande was silent, looking at the peerlessly proud and upright Ling Fan, his expression changing unpredictably. With the strength that Ling Fan had just displayed, they couldn't grab a fart!
He thought to himself, "To take down this boy, only a Martial Saint level expert would suffice; otherwise, even if we could capture him eventually, it would be a pyrrhic victory!"
At this moment, Ling Fan stood arrogantly above all, and no one dared to speak out!
"Damn it, if you don't have the guts, then get the hell out of here. Go back and tell the Head of the Hong Family to prepare a carriage full of Spiritual Elixir and Precious Medicine for me; otherwise, I'll flatten the Hong family!" Ling Fan pointed at Hong Jie's nose and commanded coldly.
He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit to Zhongnan; he still needed to help Xiao Chubing and the others by performing the Cleansing Meridians and Cutting Marrow, assisting them in stepping onto the threshold of cultivating martial arts.
He had heard from Qiao Yuchan before that the Hong family excelled in medicine refining. How could he miss such a great opportunity and not milk them for all they're worth?
Hong Jie's forehead bulged with veins, his temple turning dark. Having been humiliated so publicly, even if he knew he was no match for Ling Fan, he could no longer hold back!
"Hmph, what arrogance. You actually dare to humiliate the Hong family like this. I want to see who has the gall and recklessness to spout such madness!" A thunderous roar suddenly came from outside.
The crowd turned their heads upon hearing this.
Before long, they saw a middle-aged man emanating an awe-inspiring presence, his brows furrowed in anger as he approached.
Upon seeing this, Hong Jie was overjoyed, "Big brother!"
Miao Caijing and her daughter also quietly sighed in relief. Hong Jie's big brother, the Family Head Hong Yuankai, had finally arrived.
Following behind Hong Yuankai were eight Elders, all Grandmaster Realm experts. To avenge his son, he had hastily emerged from his seclusion, mobilizing all of the Grandmaster Realm experts of the Hong family.
However, when he arrived at the courtyard and saw the bodies of the four Elders who transmit skills, his face drastically changed. These four were pillars of the Hong family—had they really been lost?
Without the four transmitting skills Elders, the strength of the Hong family had dropped by at least half!
"Who, did, this!" Hong Yuankai's face turned ashen as he uttered each word deliberately.
"It was him, and he also killed Hong Tao!" Hong Jie pointed at Ling Fan, his face grim.
Hong Yuankai suppressed his fury, trying to control the impulse to lash out as he turned his head and fixed a piercing gaze on Ling Fan, as if trying to see through the young man before him.
Although he had brought eight Elders with him, the loss of the four transmitting skills Elders made him hesitant to risk a confrontation; if these eight ordinary Elders were also lost, the Hong family would tumble from their position in the Heavenly Vein.
Facing Ling Fan's indifferent and cold gaze, the anger rising in his heart gradually cooled, and he regained some sense of reason!
Everyone, including Miao Caijing, Hong Jie, and the other Hong family Elders, all turned their attention to Hong Yuankai, observing the current situation and realizing that only Hong Yuankai, the strongest in the Hong family, might stand a chance!
Because Hong Yuankai had achieved enlightenment of a Divine Skill, a power-oriented Divine Skill, comparable to the strength of a Martial Saint.
"What great event has happened in my Miao family that would alarm the Head of the Hong family himself to visit!" A voice, both old and authoritative, carried from a distance.
In the next moment, they saw an elder with white hair, holding a cane, followed by an Old Butler, appearing at the entrance.
The Miao brothers, Miao Jiande and his sibling, were immediately struck with surprise; even the old master had been stirred up!
