Chapter 22: Killing Qin Shaokong! Severely Wounding Liu Qingyao!
Gu Fan looked at him with a half-smile, reaching out to take the storage pouch from his waist.
“Spirit stones can wait! This storage pouch is a new model, huh? Just right—what I took from you last time wasn’t enough, time for a replacement.”
Feng Hua was furious but dared not speak.
Facing Gu Fan gave him a suffocating feeling!
At that moment, waves of murmuring came from behind.
“It’s Qin Shaokong! Inner sect disciple Qin Shaokong is here!”
“Now Gu Fan is doomed. Feng Hua is one of Qin Shaokong’s people.”
“Heh, this is going to be good.”
Feng Hua's expression changed dramatically—Qin Shaokong had arrived!
Instantly, he felt as if he had a backbone to rely on.
His waist straightened, his legs stopped trembling.
His voice rose, and he began threateningly:
“Gu Fan! Last time you stole the spirit stones that Young Master Qin entrusted to me, and you still dare to show your face today! I advise you to kneel and apologize immediately, and return the spirit stones! Otherwise, I’ll break your limbs and abolish your cultivation!”
Bang!
Before Feng Hua could finish his words, Gu Fan had already punched him in the chest.
Feng Hua flew backward, landing on the ground, coughing up large amounts of blood mixed with shattered internal organs.
He was clearly on the brink of death.
“A dog dares to bark at me? Courting death!”
Qin Shaokong had been in the back watching the scene unfold.
But upon seeing this, he was completely stunned!
From his perspective, with him overseeing the situation, Gu Fan wouldn’t dare act.
Yet reality slapped him hard in the face.
Gu Fan not only made a move—he struck to kill!
Enraged, Qin Shaokong stepped forward, appearing before Gu Fan in an instant.
“Impudent! Gu Fan, wasn’t that a bit much?!”
Gu Fan sneered and crooked a finger at him.
“I don’t like talking. If you don’t like me, then take a shot!”
“Hmph! Gu Fan, do you really think defeating Feng Hua qualifies you to challenge the authority of an inner sect disciple?!”
Gu Fan didn’t bother replying.
Instead, he responded with action.
He stepped forward and threw a punch at Qin Shaokong!
Immediately, the mountain path was engulfed in a fierce wind.
The punch felt like Mount Tai crashing down—its overwhelming might made Qin Shaokong’s expression change drastically!
He had no time to block and was sent flying by the blow.
Blood spurted from his mouth in midair as he crashed to the ground, limbs twitching.
“With just this pitiful strength, you dare bark in front of me?! Today, you die!”
Gu Fan sneered and followed up!
Since he had already acted, he might as well go all the way and kill Qin Shaokong!
After all, he was now in the Spirit Sea Realm—at most, he’d be lightly punished.
Would the sect really punish a newly risen genius over a dead man?
“Stop!”
At that moment, a cold, ethereal voice rang out.
A woman in green robes flew in from the distance.
With a single palm strike, she blocked Gu Fan’s attack.
“Courting death! How dare you strike an inner sect disciple! Such insubordination!”
At this moment, some of the onlooking disciples recognized her.
“That’s Senior Sister Liu Qingyao! One of the top figures in the inner sect!”
“No way, I was just getting excited to watch Gu Fan rise up. It’s all over now!”
“Senior Sister Liu Qingyao and Qin Shaokong share the same master—they’ll definitely support each other!”
The veiled Qingyao looked at the collapsed Qin Shaokong, killing intent flashing in her eyes.
“Reckless fool! An outer sect disciple dares lay hands on an inner sect member?! Do you want to die?!”
“Heh, is trash-talking all you people can do?”
Gu Fan mocked, “If I were you, I’d learn some new lines. You keep repeating the same thing—it’s lost all effect!”
He was truly sick of hearing it.
In his mind, if you could fight, then do it—no need to flap your gums!
Yet these people always wanted to make threats, as if a few words could make him bow down.
Liu Qingyao’s brows drew together as she coldly said:
“Enough talk! Abolish your own meridians and report to the Discipline Hall!”
“Abolish my meridians? Accept punishment?”
Gu Fan let out an angry laugh and strode forward, unleashing his full aura.
His powerful physical strength made the surroundings tremble.
A terrifying stench of blood and killing aura surged to the skies.
“I am a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. You think you can judge me?!”
The crowd was stunned!
What was going on?
Gu Fan was already in the Spirit Sea Realm?!
“No way, it’s only been a short time and he’s already reached the Spirit Sea Realm?!”
“Now it makes sense. He must’ve practiced some kind of quick success demonic art.”
“Cough cough, though we are part of the demonic path, isn’t he afraid of getting hunted down like this?”
“Trading the future for strength… still, this guy’s ruthless—he must’ve slaughtered quite a few people to advance so fast!”
Now it was Liu Qingyao’s turn to show a change in expression.
She hadn’t expected Gu Fan to be in the Spirit Sea Realm, which meant he could be regarded as an inner sect disciple too.
And clearly, he was a real combat powerhouse in the Spirit Sea Realm.
This left her in a dilemma.
“What’s wrong? Senior Sister Liu Qingyao, scared now? Weren’t you just telling me to cripple myself?”
“Or are you thinking twice—wondering if it’s worth offending me for that so-called junior brother? In the end, you’re just a bully, aren’t you?”
Gu Fan’s aura surged as he delivered each word like a stab to the heart!
Liu Qingyao’s chest rose and fell rapidly.
Suppressing her inner rage, she said:
“No matter who was right or wrong earlier, junior brother, could you give me some face? Let’s end it here, how about that?”
“Give you face? And why should I? Because you think your face is that big?”
Gu Fan chuckled mockingly.
“What face do you have? Why don’t you give me some face—go stand aside, and after I kill Qin Shaokong, I’ll repay you later, Senior Sister!”
Liu Qingyao was furious.
This man was impossible to reason with!
If she backed down now, she would never lift her head in the inner sect again!
This was about her dignity!
“Refusing the toast only to drink the forfeit! You think being in the Spirit Sea Realm is enough to defeat me? Today I’ll teach you what it means to have seniority!”
Gu Fan laughed.
She was confident, alright.
“In that case, allow me to learn from you, Senior Sister! Let’s see what strength gives you the right to speak so arrogantly!”
Boom!
Before he finished, Gu Fan launched a punch at Qingyao.
With his full power, cracks spread across the ground.
“Come die!”
Liu Qingyao’s face changed dramatically!
But she had no choice but to fight!
As a well-known inner sect disciple, if she backed down, where would her pride go?
“Know your place! Go to hell!”
Liu Qingyao activated her full spiritual power—shields shaped like icy crystals appeared before her!
But unfortunately, she overestimated herself and underestimated Gu Fan.
Gu Fan’s strength wasn’t just in his Spirit Sea Realm cultivation—he also had the terrifying body refinement at the third level of the Refined Fiend Body Art!
With the added force of his physical power, the icy shields were instantly shattered.
His fist struck Liu Qingyao’s chest directly, sending her flying!
She flew nearly a hundred meters before crashing into a mountain wall—dust clouded the air, her condition unknown!
Gu Fan calmly withdrew his fist and stood tall.
“Don’t know what’s good for you! Just some worthless trash, and you dare to bark at me? Today, I’ll teach you your place!”
After speaking, Gu Fan turned and walked toward Qin Shaokong, a cold smile on his lips:
“So? Who can save you now?”
Qin Shaokong never imagined the day would end like this—even his senior sister was sent flying with one punch.
What kind of monster was Gu Fan?!
“Gu Fan! I was wrong, I didn’t know you were in the Spirit Sea Realm. Look! Give me a chance, from now on in the inner sect, I’ll regard you as my leader!”
Gu Fan raised a hand as he activated the Soul Devouring Technique, laughing mercilessly.
“Sorry, I don’t accept trash!”
With that, he yanked out Qin Shaokong’s living soul—
And before all the gathered disciples, he swallowed it whole!
