Chapter 689: Chapter 183: Zhang Tianhao, Come Face Your Death

He turned to leave, but after just a few steps, he stopped short.

He looked back at the Little Cyan Snake by Chu Fan’s ear, which was flicking its tongue out intermittently. A meaningful smile touched his lips. "I’ve long heard that you’re an unconventional man, Chu. Seeing you today, it’s clear the rumors don’t do you justice."

"To think, Chu is an admirable ’Hero of the Wilderness’."

With that, he let out a laugh and turned to leave.

"Huh?"

Chu Fan stood frozen, not understanding for a moment.

Just then, the Little Cyan Snake by his ear stopped flicking its tongue. A soft voice entered his mind: ’Idiot... He meant that you...’

BOOM!!

Understanding the Cyan Snake’s words, a towering inferno of rage shot straight to the top of Chu Fan’s head!

"You son of a bitch, get back here!"

Enraged, Chu Fan’s Primordial Qi erupted violently. His body shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, straight at Zhang Tianhao!

This sudden outburst sent the surrounding crowd scattering in alarm.

But Zhang Tianhao seemed to have expected it. Facing the furious strike, not only did he not dodge, but he stood his ground with a faint smile.

BANG!

The wind from Chu Fan’s fist struck, but it didn’t hit anything solid.

Zhang Tianhao’s body exploded at the moment of impact, turning into a sky full of fluttering white feathers!

’An Illusion Technique?’

Chu Fan’s fist hit nothing but air, and a chill went down his spine.

He slowly turned, his gaze cutting through the crowd to land on the distant Zhang Family viewing platform.

Behind the Zhang Family’s upper echelons, Zhang Tianhao sat with one leg crossed over the other, waving from afar with a brilliant smile.

’Such a fast Body Technique!’

’Such a bizarre ability!’

Chu Fan took a deep breath and circulated his Primordial Qi. His voice, infused with Inner Force, boomed across the distance: "Don’t let me meet you in the arena!"

"If I do, I’ll beat the shit out of you!!"

His roar echoed through the entire venue, causing countless people to turn and stare.

’This guy...’

’Just now, he wanted to kill Hong Mei’er of the Emotional Silk Sect.’

’Now he’s threatening Zhang Tianhao of the Zhang Family.’

’Those two are both in the late stage of the Bright Heart Realm!’

’Especially Hong Mei’er—she’s at the absolute peak of the peak, strong enough to contend with Princess Zhaohua!’

’And yet Chu Fan...’

’It’s really hard to understand.’

’Is he really that strong, or is he just fearless out of ignorance?’

A thread of anticipation rose in people’s hearts. They wanted to see what kind of shocking performance Chu Fan could deliver in the Bright Heart Realm arena.

...

「On the Zhang Family’s viewing platform.」

Zhang Tianyu, the number one prodigy of the Zhang Family who had been resting with his eyes closed, tilted his head slightly to look at his younger cousin. "What did you say to him? So many people have provoked him, but I’ve never seen him get that angry. Why is he so furious with you, of all people?"

Zhang Tianhao spread his hands with an innocent look. "I’ve been wronged, Yu! I didn’t say anything. I just praised him for being a ’Hero of the Wilderness.’ Who knew he’d be so petty?"

Zhang Tianyu frowned.

’Hero of the Wilderness? Isn’t that a compliment?’

Though he didn’t understand, he couldn’t show it in public, so he could only give a profound-sounding snort. "Hmph. The boy is crude and vulgar. He truly isn’t fit for high society."

...

Chu Fan walked back to his seat, his face dark.

The moment he sat down, the Cyan Snake on his neck flashed with light and transformed into a human figure amidst a swirling mist.

Cyan Snake Xiaobai had a pliant, boneless figure and a naturally seductive air.

She took the opportunity to sit down beside Chu Fan, leaning in so close her body was almost touching his.

She moved close to his ear, her breath fragrant as an orchid, her voice so soft it could melt bones. "What’s wrong? Is your big sister not beautiful? Does being a ’Hero of the Wilderness’ feel so unfair to you?"

Chu Fan’s face darkened. "..."

He scooted to the side with a deadpan expression.

’Can’t you two be more considerate of others...’

Beside them, Cao Feng, Chen Xuan, and the others sat ramrod straight, staring forward like statues that could only breathe.

’So many people are watching, yet this Demoness is so shameless!’

’The Demon Race is the Demon Race, after all. So shameless!’

Seeing Chu Fan ignore her, the Cyan Snake, far from backing down, extended a slender finger and began tracing circles on his chest. She teased, "Why so quiet? You don’t even dare to look at me. Feeling guilty?"

Chu Fan wasn’t feeling guilty, but the finger tracing circles on his chest suddenly froze.

A chilling sensation, like needles on her back, instantly enveloped her.

The Cyan Snake stiffly turned her neck and saw that Li Qingxue had returned at some point.

She stood a few steps away, her pretty face terrifyingly dark. Her usually cold eyes were locked onto the Cyan Snake’s hand on Chu Fan’s chest.

Her gaze seemed to say: ’Move that hand, or I’ll chop it off.’

"Ahem..."

The Cyan Snake felt as if she’d been caught in the act. She snatched her hand back as if shocked, gave a dry cough, and sat up primly. In a serious tone, she said, "Um... the Bright Heart Realm arena is open."

’Do you think we needed you to tell us that? Who didn’t hear Daoist Qingyangzi’s announcement...’ Cao Feng and the others shot her a sidelong glance, complaining silently, but they didn’t dare say it out loud.

Zhao Tianxing beamed and announced loudly, "Lord Leng... has accepted me and Senior Sister as his disciples!"

’As expected!’

Cao Feng and the others were overjoyed.

Zhao Tianxing sat down beside them and glanced at the Cyan Snake. "Sister Bai, why is your face so red?"

Before the Cyan Snake could reply, he looked at Li Qingxue. "Senior Sister, why is your face so pale?"

No one paid him any attention.

Zhao Tianxing, feeling awkward, could only turn his gaze downward.

A melodious bell rang out. The barrier around the Bright Heart Realm arena slowly rose, instantly drawing the gazes of the thousands of people in the venue.

If the previous battles were just minor squabbles, then the real storm was only just beginning.

The first to take the stage were Wang Dandan of the Wang Family and the female disciple from Luoyun Sect, Mu Binglan.

Although Wang Dandan looked simple and honest, his aura changed drastically the moment he moved.

The Silver Spear in his hand was like a flood dragon emerging from the sea. The cold glint of its tip pulsed, stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism on the arena, creating a series of sonic booms. Its power was immense.

The members of the Seven Stars Gang watched, dumbfounded.

"So this is... the power of the Bright Heart Realm?"

Zhao Tianxing, the Cyan Snake, and the others were utterly shocked.

But Mu Binglan of the Luoyun Sect was no weakling either.
