Chapter 112: Chapter 109: Zhan Long was indeed killed by me!

WHOOSH!

As soon as Qin Fan spoke, the three heavily injured Martial Arts Masters froze in shock. Lan Tianchun’s eyes instinctively widened.

Zhan Long was killed by this teenager? Impossible! Even at his worst, Zhan Long was the true successor of his father, Lan Xiaosheng. He was known to be invincible among his peers at the Middle Stage of Dark Energy. Even when facing a master at the Great Success level of Dark Energy, he could always escape if he couldn’t win. How could he have died at the hands of someone who looked to be under twenty? And with Seven Orifices Bleeding, no less?

Not only did Lan Tianchun refuse to believe it, but the three Martial Arts Masters couldn’t believe it either.

When Huaxia’s strongest expert, Hua Xiaotian, was a teenager, even he hadn’t broken through the threshold of Dark Energy! What qualifications did this kid possibly have to kill Zhan Long?

“Hahaha! Kid, are you eager to die alongside Ye Jizu? I, Lan Tianchun, never kill the innocent. Considering your youth, I’ll forgive your reckless talk. Now get lost!” Lan Tianchun said, shaking his head after snapping out of his daze.

He really couldn’t bring himself to kill a mere student with his power as a Dark Energy Peak master. If word of this got out, it wouldn’t just be his own reputation he’d be ruining, but Lan Xiaosheng’s as well!

“I really am the one who killed Zhan Long,” Qin Fan said, feeling a little helpless.

What, they still don’t believe me? Am I supposed to be happy about taking credit for this?

“Say that again!” Lan Tianchun snapped, his anger rising. Although he was reluctant to kill an ordinary teenager, if the boy kept spurning his goodwill and insisted on courting death, he would not tolerate it.

“You want to avenge Zhan Long, don’t you? I’m the one who killed him, right here, in the exact spot you’re standing now! If you want revenge, then come on! Let me see what the power of the Dark Energy Peak is really like!” Qin Fan declared earnestly.

“Since you wish to die, I will grant your wish!” Lan Tianchun snarled.

Ignoring Ye Jizu, whom he could kill at any moment, he formed his hand into an eagle’s talon and lunged toward Qin Fan.

“Hmm, that’s the fastest I’ve seen so far, but it’s still not quite there,” Qin Fan remarked casually as Lan Tianchun’s figure blurred toward him.

In the instant the talon struck, Qin Fan simply tilted his head, and the attack missed completely.

“Not bad. You can generate a forceful wind with your strike, which matches your speed. Come on, try again. Let me get a better look!” Qin Fan said with a nod, his hands remaining in his pockets the entire time.

“Dammit!” Lan Tianchun roared in anger, his heart lurching with shock.

How could he dodge my attack so easily? Who on earth is this kid? A teenager made my attack miss? That’s unbelievable!

It was at that moment Lan Tianchun finally believed him. Qin Fan was the one who had killed Zhan Long!

The three Martial Arts Masters were even more astounded, their lips trembling as they stammered, unable to form a single word.

Could this kid also be at the Dark Energy Peak? A teenager at the peak? How is that possible? Absolutely impossible!

They had already dismissed the possibility of a teenager being at the Dark Energy Peak. If they knew that, in the eyes of the Ye Family, Qin Fan was practically a Grandmaster, how utterly fantastical would that seem?

After his angry shout, the missed attack didn’t stop Lan Tianchun. He pressed forward, planting his hands on the tea table and executing a 180-degree spin to face Qin Fan again. With his fist raised and knee bent, he launched a fierce double strike!

“Getting interesting,” Qin Fan said with a leisurely laugh.

He suddenly sprang into the air. Mirroring Lan Tianchun’s attack, he raised his own fist and knee, and they collided head-on.

BANG!

CRACK!

A crisp, sharp sound echoed through the air.

With Qin Fan controlling the force of his blow, the strike didn’t cause Lan Tianchun any severe injuries. Even so, he was sent flying backward, smashing the luxurious Huanghuali wood tea table to pieces.

“Who in the world are you?”

Although the impact hadn’t caused much physical damage, it was a critical blow to Lan Tianchun’s pride. He performed a carp’s leap to get back on his feet, his face pale and his eyes flashing with a panic he had never felt before as he roared at Qin Fan.

“The one who killed Zhan Long,” Qin Fan said with an indifferent smile. “And the one who’s going to kill you. And quite possibly, the one who will kill your father, too.”

“How arrogant!”

Lan Tianchun’s pale face hardened as he shouted, quickly pulling a hemp vine several centimeters long from his pocket.

“You’re the first person to force me to use a weapon! Let’s see if you can keep up that arrogance!” Lan Tianchun said in a chilling tone, then flicked the vine.

BUZZ!

With a single motion, the tiny vine transformed into a two-meter-long Hemp Vine Whip.

The moment the whip appeared, Qin Fan’s eyes widened.

A Magic Artifact! An Attack Magic Tool!

Before he could process it further, Lan Tianchun’s whip swept toward him, radiating a bleak killing intent. Feeling the invisible force field emanating from it, Qin Fan couldn’t help but grin.

I have to get my hands on that Hemp Vine Whip.

As the whip flew toward him, Qin Fan dodged with ghostly steps. The evasive maneuver caused the whip to lash out against the nearby wall. With a sharp CRACK, the wooden wall it struck splintered and collapsed with a heavy crash. Ye Jizu and the three Martial Arts Masters stared, stupefied and incredulous.

A weapon like that… is it a Magic Artifact? A rare Attack Magic Tool?

His first strike having missed, Lan Tianchun didn’t retract the whip. Instead, he flicked it again. As if sentient or locked onto Qin Fan’s aura, the Hemp Vine Whip snaked through the air and flew accurately toward him once more.

“Enough of this. The game is over.” Having gained a deeper understanding of a Dark Energy Peak master’s strength and now seeing the Attack Magic Tool, Qin Fan lost all interest in toying with Lan Tianchun.

As he spoke, he stopped dodging. Instead, he calmly spun along the length of the incoming whip, instantly appearing right in front of Lan Tianchun.

“Die! Haha—!” Lan Tianchun, who had been gathering his power, was delighted. His charged fist shot out unexpectedly, aiming straight for Qin Fan’s heart.

But just before his fist landed, Lan Tianchun saw a strange, mocking smile on Qin Fan’s face. His heart tightened as an ominous premonition suddenly welled up within him.

As expected, the moment his fist slammed into Qin Fan’s body, it felt like hitting an indestructible wall. A crisp cracking sound came from his knuckles, and he was sent flying backward from the rebound, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Fear and disbelief filled his eyes. The next moment, ignoring the fallen Hemp Vine Whip, Lan Tianchun leaped to his feet and dove straight for the open window.

“Why does your family have such a thing for escaping? And always through that specific window?” Qin Fan muttered in puzzlement as Lan Tianchun made his move.

While speaking, he tapped his feet on the ground and leisurely leaped after Lan Tianchun’s retreating back, his speed far surpassing the other man’s.
