Chapter 210 - Tianxia Society
Chapter 210 - Tianxia Society
Chen Fan swept through his residence like a gale, practicing the last three styles of the Undefeated King’s Fist. His movements made the air crackle and explode.
“Unrivaled!”
The image of three heads and six arms manifested around him, the six arms erupting in unison.
The space stirred as he executed the Unrivaled style, capable of blasting an ancient mountain into smithereens.
Whoosh!
Looking like an upside-down silver hook, he switched to a different move. “Glorious King’s Fist!”
A dazzling light erupted from Chen Fan’s six arms, and a terrifying force erupted from them. It seemed like they could split the sky open, bringing light to the lands.
“Undefeated King!”
Chen Fan’s stance changed again.
The three heads turned, looking in all directions with different faces. The six arms moved about, turning into a blur.
Wisps of berserk fist force rippled in the air, booming consecutively, making Chen Fan look like an invincible god of battle.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...
Chen Fan withdrew his fists and stood on the spot, his aura calming down.
The air currents from the explosions whistled like a fierce gale, and the shockwaves from the punches popped in the air continuously.
“Amazing. This middle-profound tier martial skill surpasses even the Nine Swords of Wind Demon!” Chen Fan’s eyes shone brilliantly.
The final three styles of Undefeated King's Fist were astounding, elevating his combat strength by ten percent.
Of course, using it would consume vast amounts of primeval force. Even though he had a rich reserve, his forehead was still sweaty from the exertion.
Seating himself in a lotus position, Chen Fan took out primeval stones and demon cores and began refining and absorbing them.
Rumble!
His insides shivered with vigor as he replenished his primeval qi reserves. The demon cores’ vitality essence transformed into energy, and Chen Fan’s aura slowly rose, showing signs of breaking through.
Four hours later:
With a loud boom, waves of primeval force surged like a tide in Chen Fan’s meridians. His primeval vessel shone with divine light as the third layer formed.
Finally, Chen Fan was at the third level.
“Good, I can definitely kill Chu Tiange now!”
Chen Fan stood up, a radiant light shining in his eyes. He wished he could immediately find and kill Chu Tiange.
He even wanted to roar at the skies but wisely suppressed his urges.
“Keep a low profile! Lay low!" he reminded himself, a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
The Heaven Seizing Furnace revolved, and Chen Fan's aura receded like a tide, eventually stabilizing at the peak-stage, first-level Yuanfu realm.
A tree that stood out in the forest was bound to be toppled by the wind.
Chen Fan already faced all kinds of difficulties in the inner sect, so keeping a low profile was better.
“Chen Fan, come out!”
Suddenly, a stern shout came from outside his residence, rumbling like thunder. The air boomed, stirring Chen Fan’s qi and blood.
The other elite disciples living nearby were alarmed by the shout and came out one after another to check the situation.
“What’s going on?”
“Eh? It’s Yu Xiong’s gang. Tianxia Society’s people!”
“Why did Chen Fan offend the Tianxia Society? Is he really tired of living?”
“......”
Chen Fan’s neighbors, fellow disciples, saw a group outside Chen Fan’s residence. Their expressions changed, and their gazes flickered, recognizing Yu Xiong and his gang.
Why would the Tianxia Society find trouble with Chen Fan?
Had Chen Fan taken the initiative to provoke them?
The disciples couldn't fathom why Chen Fan, already an outcast within the inner sect and an enemy of numerous Heaven's Alliance members, would recklessly provoke another significant force like the Tianxia Society.
They were well aware of the Tianxia Society’s influence in the inner sect. Although not as extensive as the Heaven's Alliance, it commanded considerable sway.
Tianxia Society’s leader, Feng Tianxia, was also a holy disciple. Moreover, he was ranked among the top ten holy disciples.
As if offending the Heaven’s Alliance hadn’t been enough, Chen Fan went ahead and offended the Tianxia Society also.
Duan Jingtian had already warned the alliance members against harming Chen Fan.
Inside the Spring Autumn Sect, the members refrained from confronting Chen Fan; at most, they resorted to making things difficult and subjecting him to humiliation. However, non-alliance members were an exception to that rule.
Bloodshed was common due to the intense competition within the inner sect and the sect's encouragement of rivalry among disciples.
Now that the Tianxia Society came knocking on Chen Fan’s doors, the crowd didn’t think they were there with kind intentions.
“I heard that a month ago, when Chen Fan first joined the inner sect, Yu Xiong approached him with an offer to join the Tianxia Society. Chen Fan declined and beat them.”
“Surely not. Yu Xiong at the second level. At that time, Chen Fan was only in the first-level Yuanfu realm, wasn’t he?”
“What’s impossible about that! Back in the blessed land, don’t you remember his heaven-defying feat? While being a Qi Grandmaster, he killed a first-level Yuanfu realm expert. So, he can injure Yu Xiong with first-level Yuanfu realm cultivation.”
“That’s true! But Song Yang, a fourth-level Yuanfu realm expert, is with them this time. Chen Fan can’t be a match for him even if he has three heads and six arms.”
“......”
While the crowd nearby engaged in discussion, Chen Fan emerged from his residence and confronted Yu Xiong's group.
“What’s the matter?” he inquired, recalling Yu Xiong's previous attempt to recruit him into the Tianxia Society, which had resulted in a confrontation and injury to Yu Xiong himself.
“Does everyone from your society like forcing things on others? I refused you the first time, but here you are again with someone stronger to force me into agreeing.”
“How dare you!”
“Audacious!” exclaimed some Tianxia Society experts, their voices resounding with indignation as their primeval force stirred.
A youth in purple at the third level said coldly, “You little bastard, our Tianxia Society took pity on you and is willing to take you in. So be it if you’re not appreciative, but you even dared to injure our people. What audacity you have!”
“Hoho.”
Chen Fan chuckled coldly and said, “He would have injured me if I hadn’t fought back. Besides, how was I to know that your members, with their high cultivation, would turn out to be so... feeble?”
Chen Fan's words brought a flush of shame to Yu Xiong's face and ears.
As someone at the second level, he had been defeated by Chen Fan, a first-level Yuanfu realm cultivator, in a single move.
Now that Chen Fan was ridiculing him in front of everyone, he wanted to rush up and rip his mouth apart.
“You damned little bastard. You clearly ambushed me when I wasn't prepared, and now you dare to claim I'm not your match!”
Naturally, Yu Xiong wouldn’t admit Chen Fan beat him in one move.
Chen Fan glanced at Yu Xiong and pursed his lips. “Since you’re saying that, let’s fight in front of everyone. My cultivation level is still at the first level. Surely, I’m no match for you.”
Chen Fan intentionally emphasized his words, casting a sly smile in Yu Xiong's direction.
