Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Qi Refining Realm, Defeated a Divine Ability Realm?

Liu Ruxian captured Xiao Zhenshan and his family back to Yuanlong City.

On the surface, she intended to publicly sacrifice Xiao Zhenshan’s family to her deceased ancestors.

However, this was all merely a facade.

In reality, someone was after Xiao Yang.

Liu Ruxian truly wanted to kill Xiao Zhenshan’s family and use them for the blood sacrifice.

This was definitely not fake.

Yet, all of this was part of a trap targeting Xiao Yang, and that was also real.

However, Xiao Yang did not show up; the one taking action was Zhao Fan.

“What’s going on?”

In a tower on the square’s periphery, a young man in white gazed at the scene with a grim expression.

“Where’s that guy Xiao Yang?”

He clenched his fists.

He was none other than Chu Guiyuan, who had his dantian destroyed by Xiao Yang.

“What’s the rush? It’s more fun to play slow!”

A young man behind Chu Guiyuan chuckled.

This fellow was sitting at a table, sipping tea.

“Cousin, don’t tell me Xiao Yang isn’t coming?”

Chu Guiyuan turned to look at the young man in white.

“Cousin, no need to rush. Just sit down, have some tea, and let the Gui family folks play with that kid.”

The young man said leisurely.

“…”

Chu Guiyuan remained silent, turned, filled his teacup, and gulped it down in one go.

He truly admired his cousin.

Because this whole trap against Xiao Yang was orchestrated by him.

The best part was that they didn’t even have to make an appearance; they were using the Gui family to deal with Xiao Yang.

So, even if they couldn’t take down Xiao Yang, the Chu family wouldn’t suffer any loss.

Meanwhile, in the square.

Zhao Fan flicked a marble with his fingers.

The marble shot straight through the body of a middle-aged man on the altar, sending him flying off the platform.

“How is this possible…”

Everyone in the square was shocked to the core.

This kid is way too strong! Just a small marble took out a Divine Ability Realm warrior from the Gui family?

And this boy seemed to only be at the Qi Refining Realm!

Qi Refining Realm defeating Divine Ability Realm?

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who would dare believe something so unbelievable existed in the world?

Qi Refining Realm.

This was the beginner level for martial artists.

Above Qi Refining, there’s the Foundation Establishment Realm, and above that is the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In other words, that middle-aged man’s cultivation level was two whole realms higher than this boy’s.

This was utterly unbelievable.

“Zhao… Zhao Fan?”

Xiao Zhenshan thought their family was done for this time, but who would have thought someone came to save them.

And the one who stepped in was someone they recognized—Xiao Yang’s disciple, Zhao Fan.

“Did Big Brother send you to save us?”

Chu Yue said, both surprised and delighted.

“Yang’er…”

Chen Ruolan also sighed in relief.

With Zhao Fan stepping in, didn’t that equal Xiao Yang stepping in?

At this moment, Liu Ruxian stood up from the ground.

Her shoulder was a bloody mess.

She had been shot by Zhao Fan’s marble.

Letting out an angry roar, she charged directly at Xiao Zhenshan, aiming to take him down.

“Hmph!”

Zhao Fan’s expression turned cold, and the next moment, he flicked his fingers to launch two marbles at Liu Ruxian.

The sound of air being sliced through echoed sharply.

“Thud!”

“Thud!”

Liu Ruxian’s body jerked violently, and two splashes of blood erupted from her.

She was sent flying by the sheer force of the marbles.

Zhao Fan’s strength was insane.

Even though he only launched two tiny marbles, their power was ridiculously strong.

The marbles flew straight through Liu Ruxian’s body and crashed into the wall of the room where Chu Guiyuan was.

The two marbles embedded themselves deep into the wall.

“…”

Chu Guiyuan and his cousin exchanged a shocked glance, both seeing horror reflected in each other’s eyes.

That boy’s finger strength is monstrous!

They naturally knew who this young man was.

Knowing your enemy and yourself leads to victory in every battle.

They had thoroughly investigated Xiao Yang and figured out his network of relations.

This kid Zhao Fan is Xiao Yang’s disciple.

Xiao Yang was probably lurking in the shadows right now.

Xiao Yang sending his disciple to act was to flush out hidden enemies.

“Haha, Xiao Yang’s only got this level of intelligence.”

Chu Guiyuan chuckled dismissively.

“Cousin, remember, never underestimate your opponent; otherwise, you’ll pay a heavy price.”

The young man said earnestly.

“Yeah, I guess I learned that lesson the hard way from Xiao Yang.”

Chu Guiyuan sighed.

He had initially thought very little of Xiao Yang.

Keep in mind, he was a disciple of the Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Back then, the Guiyuan Martial Sect was the second strongest sect in the north, right after the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

At that time, Qingyang Sword Sect was just the seventh sect in the north.

To him, Xiao Yang was nothing!

But now, Chu Guiyuan could have never imagined he’d end up as a cripple thanks to Xiao Yang.

Now he truly regretted it to the core.

He shouldn’t have underestimated Xiao Yang.

At this moment, a furious roar echoed outside in the square.

A figure dashed out from a tower outside the square, an overwhelming aura erupting, enveloping the entire square.

Countless people on the square were horrified.

The newcomer was formidable.

“Divine Ability Realm?”

Zhao Fan stared at the Guiyuan Martial Sect disciple charging at him, his eyes piercing with sharp intensity.

“Buzz!”

A sword rang out.

Before the person even arrived, they thrust their flying sword straight at Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan chuckled lightly, extending his right hand to catch the flying sword bare-handed.

“What?”

The person was taken aback.

Zhao Fan squashed the flying sword in his grip, took a step forward, and instantly closed the distance, punching the individual’s chest.

“Crack!”

The sound of bones shattering echoed.

That person was hit so hard that their front chest pressed against their back.

Zhao Fan’s right fist shook.

The person flew backward over ten meters, and before they hit the ground, they were already gasping for breath.

A punch to kill a Divine Ability Realm?!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Zhao Fan’s punch shocked the entire crowd.

Everyone watched the scene in utter disbelief.

There were crowds of people in the square, but no one spoke, the silence deafening.

“Qi Refining Realm, killed Divine Ability Realm?”

The hidden watchers were utterly taken aback.

Xiao Yang’s disciple was shockingly powerful?

The onlookers in the shadows were genuinely frightened.

Was Qi Refining Realm really that powerful? If this boy kept growing, what would happen?

No wonder Xiao Yang didn’t come out himself and let Zhao Fan take action.

To everyone else, Xiao Yang was just a cripple who had exploded his dantian.

Xiao Yang not stepping in was actually anticipated by Chu Guiyuan and the others.

If Xiao Yang really got involved, that would have been strange.
