“I don’t know who you are, but you made me, Lu Fan, lose so much face today. The matter won’t be resolved so easily!” The long-haired young man glared at Ye Zhong sternly with undisguised rage in his eyes.
“Did I tell you to stop?” Ye Zhong acted as if he did not see him, as his gaze swept over Lu Fan’s lackeys.
“*Slap—*”
Under Ye Zhong’s gaze, one of them subconsciously slapped his face. This time, even the corners of Lu Fan’s eyes twitched.
Isn’t this guy bullying him too much?
“A bunch of trash!” Lu Fan’s face was filled with rage as he kicked the person who had subconsciously slapped his face away. He then glared at Ye Zhong with a murderous looking face. After he appeared, Ye Zhong dared to act in such a manner, simply because he did not put him in his eyes at all.
“Are you the one who ordered these trash behind the scenes and wanted to rob my friend’s courtyard?” Ye Zhong’s attention shifted and landed on Lu Fan, “Although I don’t know why you have the guts to bully my dear friend, you should at least slap yourself a hundred times. Today’s matter is over.”
“What!?”
“Is this fellow that came out of nowhere mad? This person was ranked 8th among the Top Ten Outer Disciples, Lu Fan! Doesn’t he know that?”
“Maybe this fellow isn’t afraid of Lu Fan since he has Senior Sister Su Yu backing him up!”
“But Lu Fan also has an extremely powerful character supporting him, right? And that person might not even be afraid of Senior Sister Su Yu! “
There was a flurry of discussion from all around, and upon hearing that, Lu Fan finally noticed Su Yu, who was standing not far behind Ye Zhong. His face turned cold, “Su Yu, you and I have no past grudge, and currently have no enmity. Why did you bring people to intrude into my territory?”
Su Yu blinked innocently but didn’t say anything.
“You talk so much nonsense.” Ye Zhong shook his head, his eyes turned slightly cold. He stared at Lu Fan and said slowly, “Don’t worry. Senior Sister Su Yu will not be bored to fight a trash like you, and I’m not too interested in you either. However, since you are unwilling to slap yourself, and give my friend an explanation, I will have to repay it myself!”
Lu Fan was startled, and as if he had heard a joke, he couldn’t help but laugh. He looked around and laughed, “Did you guys hear that, everyone? He said he wanted me to give him an explanation? Could it be that he thinks that since I, Lu Fan, have appeared, I will let him go!? “
Upon hearing this, many of the onlookers had strange looks on their faces. Lu Fan had an extraordinary skill, and he also had a great backer who was as strong as the Inner Disciples. This fellow who appeared from nowhere should have yet to figure out this matter.
“Brat, I will give you a chance right now. Kneel and slap yourself in the face. Otherwise, you won’t have a good life in the Xingxiang Sect in the future.” After laughing for a while, Lu Fan’s gaze finally landed on Ye Zhong as he spoke coldly.
“Kneel and slap yourself?”
Ye Zhong nodded his head. He then casually stretched out his right hand and gently bent it: “Make your move. However, you can rest assured that as long as you kneel and slap yourself, we can settle this matter easily, can’t we?”
Ye Zhong’s indifferent words made Lu Fan’s gaze turn sharp like a blade, and extremely cold. In his opinion, when this brat saw him Lu Fan appear, he would be so scared to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy. However, he didn’t expect that there would be someone provoking him even in such a situation.
“Who do you think you are!”
Lu Fan sneered, then took a step forward, rubbing his hands together. Following his action, the Qi and Blood within his body instantly surged. A kind of frightening pressure spread outwards, causing the expressions of quite a several onlookers to change slightly. Even Wang Mo had a face full of worry at this moment. Only Su Yu looked at Lu Fan with pity in her eyes.
Fourth Layer of Body Tempering – Tendon Altering Stage! However, the strength of Lu Fan should be slightly stronger than that of Chu Yun. And he was only one step away from reaching the Fifth Layer of Body Tempering – Pulse Opening Stage, wasn’t he?
“Brat, even if you regret it now, it’s already too late!”
Lu Fan’s eyes turned cold, the corner of his mouth lifted, and his figure suddenly burst out with great speed, his right palm turned golden in an instant, he shot a golden palm print towards Ye Zhong. It was clear that this Lu Fan had no intention of holding back, as he was prepared to completely destroy this brat in front of him in the first blow!
Staring at the terrifying attack, Ye Zhong’s expression did not change. However, in the next moment, the Five-Layered Shura Sword Seal was rapidly condensed on top of his fist, and then Ye Zhong threw out his fist forward!
“*Bang—*”
In the blink of an eye, the fist and palm fiercely collided. Then, a violent sound of colliding attacks rang out.
“*Cough—*”
Lu Fan’s body suddenly trembled, and his right arm instantly twisted crazily like a fried dough twist. His body was directly flung out, smashing against the ground, as he spat out a mouthful of blood wildly.
One move! How could Lu Fan have been defeated so badly in such a collision without the slightest chance of dodging? He could not resist it at all!?
At this moment, countless gasps could be heard from the surrounding. Many people looked at this scene in disbelief. Who was this fellow that suddenly appeared from nowhere? How could he be this strong?
As for Lu Fan’s lackeys, they were all dumbfounded. Although they knew Ye Zhong was strong, they did not expect that their Big Brother, the eighth rank among the Top Ten Outer Disciples, Lu Fan, would not be a match for him! Just who was this fellow!
Even Wang Mo was stunned, despite the genuine joy on his face. Although he did not know how his close friend had suddenly become so strong. However, he truly felt happy for him.
Only Su Yu remained expressionless. She already knew the ending since Lu Fan first appeared. Perhaps only the Top Five Outer Disciples would be qualified to fight against Ye Zhong. As for the other Outer Disciples, if Ye Zhong wanted to deal with them, it was no different from cutting vegetables.
“Who… Who the hell are you!” Lu Fan struggled to get up, his face red as he spoke.
“*Puff—*”
Ye Zhong’s body flashed and appeared right in front of him. With no trace of politeness, he swung his leg and kicked him away.
“What are you…”
“*Puff—*”
“You…”
“*Puff—*”
Without even giving Lu Fan a chance to speak or ask, Ye Zhong lashed out with his leg. This man who had been overbearing since he appeared was kicked around like a dead dog by Ye Zhong. In the end, he even lost the strength to spit out blood.
There were at least a dozen broken ribs on his body. His originally handsome and cold demeanor was now long gone. Did he even have the dignity as the eighth rank of the Top Ten Outer Disciples now?
“*Bang—*”
Ye Zhong jumped up and stomped his foot on Lu Fan’s chest and abdomen, causing them to cave in instantly. He then spat out a mouthful of blood. If it were not for the fact that Ye Zhong showed some mercy and did not want to cause any deaths when he just entered the Xingxiang Sect, Lu Fan would already be dead by now!
“Ye Zhong! He is Ye Zhong! Chu Yun had just been beaten to the point of spitting blood! Moreover, even Chu Yun’s Master, Elder Zha Yu had stepped in, but was unable to do anything to him! It is said that he is the new Inner Disciple of our Xingxiang Sect, and is ranked 108th! “
As the news spread, more and more disciples of the Xingxiang Sect gathered. Some of them saw the familiar scene and finally recognized Ye Zhong.
“What? Ye Zhong? Could it be that Ye Zhong from the Ye Clan?”
“Isn’t the difference a little too great?”
“*Puff—*”
Another mouthful of blood was spat out, and Lu Fan finally got up with much difficulty. He stared at Ye Zhong with eyes full of shock and uncertainty, “You are Ye Zhong? The one who completed the high-rank mission with Su Yu?”
“So what if it is?” Ye Zhong faintly spoke as he continued walking, preparing to launch another attack. He couldn’t tell that Lu Fan’s body was actually so tough.
“So it’s you! Brat, just you wait. This matter will not end like this!” Lu Fan was extremely afraid of Ye Zhong. He crawled up, wanting to escape as fast as he could, but he could not afford to lose face. He spoke harshly with a gloomy face, trying to get back some face.
“You didn’t forget what I had said earlier, did you? If you forgot, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape.” Ye Zhong didn’t rush to take action when he saw Lu Fan in this state, but he just stared at Lu Fan with an indifferent gaze, but it caused the latter’s body to shiver subconsciously.
He naturally knew what Ye Zhong wanted him to do, but instead of going to kneel and slap himself, it would be better to let him die!
“Ye Zhong! I can’t kneel! I don’t believe that you dare to kill me here today!” Lu Fan’s voice was low, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“Beat you to death? I don’t know how to do that. This is the rule of the Xingxiang Sect.” Ye Zhong smiled, “You have to be thankful. If this place was not the Xingxiang Sect, you would have died countless times already. So don’t worry, I won’t take your life. However, if I break all of your hands and feet, I think that those Senior and Junior Disciples who are usually bullied by you will at least make use of this opportunity to take revenge, right? So many people have attacked together. If someone attacked harder and accidentally killed you, even the rule of the Xingxiang Sect wouldn’t be able to do anything, right? “
“You—”
Looking at Ye Zhong’s smiling face at the moment, Lu Fan suddenly shivered and felt a wave of regret. What kind of existence had he messed with this time!
