Chapter 395: Chapter 203: I Will Shatter Your Backer With My Own Hands

]

[At this moment, you feel as if you have become an avatar of the Golden Crow. The once-abstruse secret manual has become simple and clear in your mind.]

[Congratulations, you have perfected the Great Sun Heaven-Tearing Hand!]

Hah!

Chen Xuan flexed his hands, feeling that the bones in his fingers and palms had indeed become extraordinary.

Especially when he circulated his True Essence, his ten fingers held immense power.

It was as if they could pierce through anything.

"Excellent. With my Primordial Barbaric Energy complementing the Great Sun Heaven-Tearing Hand, my body is now even stronger. I can tear anything to shreds!"

Chen Xuan smiled.

’Weapons?’

’I don’t need any weapons.’

’My body is the ultimate weapon!’

’With a single grab, I can easily pierce through any shield or weapon.’

Suddenly, Chen Xuan’s brow twitched as a sensation registered in his mind.

Waves of intense malice, like invisible seismic waves, surged into his mind one after another, creating chaotic ripples.

The powerful malice surged, threatening to overwhelm the sea of his Spirit.

"Excellent. More people have arrived."

Chen Xuan said calmly, suddenly coming to a halt.

’I’ve only just perfected the Great Sun Heaven-Tearing Hand, and someone’s already eager to come be my experience fodder.’

"Someone’s coming? Who is it?"

"Yeah, what blind fool is it?"

The monk and the Daoist looked puzzled.

"Blind fools? There are plenty of them."

A smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s face.

「At this very moment.」

A large number of masters from the Lan family and the Yun family were rapidly assembling, rushing in this direction.

Even the old master of the Lan family, long rumored to be at the end of his lifespan, had been forcefully roused from his seclusion.

The old master’s white beard whipped about, his eyes were deep, and his heart howled with unbearable grief.

’Is my Lan family truly fated to end?’

’The two greatest successors I painstakingly raised were brutally beaten to death.’

’And their killer is still at large!’

’Yet that girl from the Yun family who was with them is still alive and well!’

’How unfair is the Celestial Dao?!’

’I hate it!’

’I hate this killer!’

’I hate this whole damnable world.’

’They should all be buried alongside my two grandsons.’

"Young man of the Yun family, my grandson and you were sworn brothers. I am deeply moved that you have volunteered to come. Why don’t you and the Yun family take the lead? I will assist you from the shadows. Rest assured, with me here, that scoundrel won’t be able to harm a single hair on your head."

The Lan family’s old master, Lan Yuanwu, said in his aged voice as he looked at Yun Conglong, who had volunteered to lead the men and was now not far away.

’He would use Yun Conglong to probe just how strong that upstart was.’

Yun Conglong himself was an Outer Saint.

Moreover, he had brought three veteran retainers with him.

This was undoubtedly a powerful force.

’At the very least, they could wear down the man’s trump cards!’

’Then, at the critical moment, I will strike with my full power and end his life!’

"Of course. With Elder Lan assisting from the shadows, I will certainly do my utmost!"

Yun Conglong replied, his expression turning cold.

But unbeknownst to the old man, Yun Conglong was making his own calculations.

’Does he really think I’m a fool?’

’I only dared to bring my men here because I knew the old master of the Lan family had come personally.’

’The old master of the Lan family is a Dharma Realm expert. With him present, there’s absolutely no risk.’

He had brought men this time for two reasons. Firstly, it was to put on a show for the Lan family. It was a way of saying, ’See? Your two sons are dead, and I am exceptionally grieved. I’ve specially gathered masters to personally avenge the two Brother Lans.’ This would hopefully reduce the Lan family’s hostility toward them—after all, the two Lan scions had died because of his family’s maidservant. He absolutely had to make his position clear.

Secondly, there was a deeper consideration.

’If I can use the Lan family’s power to take down this arrogant madman...’

’...then my name, Yun Conglong, will echo throughout this land!’

’I’ll become the foremost leader of the new generation in all of Dark Crossing.’

"They’re just ahead!"

Yun Conglong’s eyes went cold as he suddenly accelerated. "Three retainers," he commanded, "assist me!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The three men beside him shot forward instantly.

"The Lan family is settling a score! All uninvolved parties, leave at once!"

One of the retainers roared, his voice deafening.

BOOM!

Instantly, everyone on the street looked up in alarm, feeling waves of a dangerous aura.

Without a second thought, they scrambled to pack up their stalls and flee.

’The Lan family?’

’Everyone knows the Lan family are the local overlords.’

’They have countless masters and are second to none!’

’To linger now would be a death wish!’

In the blink of an eye, everyone had vanished without a trace.

Only Chen Xuan and his two companions remained in the middle of the street.

A fierce wind whipped past, causing the hems of their robes to flap.

"Heh heh, someone really did come looking for us."

"How interesting. Truly interesting."

The monk and the Daoist suddenly began to laugh.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Four figures streaked in from the distance, landing on the street in a flash. Their auras erupted like a landslide and a tsunami, surging toward Chen Xuan and his companions.

Yun Conglong’s gaze was as sharp as a blade. His cloud-patterned robe fluttered, his features were handsome, and his aura was profound. The moment he arrived, he locked his eyes onto Chen Xuan.

He recognized Chen Xuan at a single glance.

He was a perfect match for the portrait the Lan family had described!

"You’re the one who killed the Lan brothers and humiliated my sister?"

Yun Conglong’s voice was frigid.

"See? I told you. Even if that woman didn’t seek revenge herself, her family was bound to. Well? Was I wrong?"

Chen Xuan asked, looking at his two companions.

"You were not wrong."

"Someone really did rush here to die."

The monk and the Daoist said with a laugh.

"I think you’re the ones courting death!"

Yun Conglong’s eyes were glacial.

’How dare they act so recklessly at a time like this.’
