Even the personal disciple of the current sect master of the Ancient Serpent Sect, that Golden Serpent Young Master, noticed.
His eyes were narrow and elongated, his pupils resembling those of a snake, a faint golden hue. Within them, a cold and venomous light shot out, making him appear like a highly poisonous viper.
When he understood what was happening, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort, his gaze towards Ling Fan filled with disgust.
The other disciples of the Golden Serpent Sect immediately understood that the Golden Serpent Young Master had developed a murderous intent.
This person was exceptionally narrow-minded and could not tolerate even a speck of dust.
How could he tolerate a nobody pretending to be something he wasn't on his territory?
And if this person was not a nobody, but truly capable of comprehending the laws of the staff dao, then he would tolerate it even less.
Because that would pose a threat to him.
Just as the Golden Serpent Young Master was considering whether to manipulate the power within the stone tablet to blast this person to death.
Suddenly.
His expression changed drastically!
Disbelief appeared between his brows.
Seeing his expression, the other disciples of the Golden Serpent Sect had not yet understood, but Han Hai, Yang Shili, and the other rogue cultivators who had followed them immediately seemed to grasp something, and their faces also showed expressions of shock.
Because previously, under that Purple Lightning Sword Tablet, Senior Brother Chang from Thunder Island had shown the same expression when he saw Ling Fan casually comprehending the Purple Lightning Sword Dao laws!
Could it be that Ling Fan had also comprehended the laws within this Heaven-Piercing Staff Tablet!
This was truly astonishing.
"This stone tablet is mine, scram! You are not allowed to comprehend it!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master suddenly spoke fiercely, with a strong warning tone.
Ling Fan slightly opened his eyes, cast a cold glance at the Golden Serpent Young Master, said nothing, and then closed his eyes again to continue his comprehension.
This dismissive attitude instantly enraged the Golden Serpent Young Master.
He harbored resentment in his heart, secretly mobilizing the power of the laws within this Heaven-Piercing Staff Tablet. After accumulating strength, an incredibly powerful staff dao law roared towards Ling Fan.
Just when he thought Ling Fan would be blasted to death by this strike, or at the very least, his comprehension process would be interrupted and he would be expelled from the vicinity of the stone tablet.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
The power of the staff dao law that the Golden Serpent Young Master had secretly mobilized struck Ling Fan, and it instantly vanished without a trace, as if it had been completely absorbed and resolved by Ling Fan.
"How can this be!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master's eyes widened, and he could no longer sit still, leaping to his feet.
It was only at this moment that the other disciples of the Ancient Serpent Sect understood what had happened. Seeing the Golden Serpent Young Master so flustered, their eyes also showed expressions of immense shock.
"How is this possible? Has this brat already comprehended the laws within the stone tablet? In such a short time, and he stood outside the stone tablet the entire time, not occupying a single cultivation spot."
"Enough, you are not allowed to comprehend this stone tablet anymore, scram!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master's expression turned extremely sinister. Jealousy raged within him, his gaze wishing he could devour Ling Fan.
If not for the failed sneak attack just now, he would have already made a move, and it wouldn't have been just a verbal warning.
Ling Fan slightly opened his eyes again and said indifferently, "The sages of the Sacred Scripture Academy left the stone tablets here to pass down their martial arts. Everyone can cultivate. Who do you think you are, to say you forbid it and I must obey?"
Ling Fan's indifferent yet domineering words immediately startled everyone.
The rogue cultivators present widened their eyes, looking at Ling Fan in disbelief.
How dare he speak such presumptuous words to the Golden Serpent Young Master?
One must know that the Golden Serpent Young Master was the strongest disciple of the Ancient Serpent Sect in this generation. At a young age, he had already cultivated to the Golden Core realm, and not the early stage, but the middle stage. His strength was incredibly formidable.
He had been accepted as a personal disciple by the Sect Master of the Ancient Serpent Sect and was to inherit his mantle. Essentially, he was the next Sect Master of the Ancient Serpent Sect.
And that brat was just an unknown person with low cultivation. How dare he speak to such a peerless genius who was destined to become a major figure in the Eastern Lin Domain?
Was he not afraid of being crushed into powder by the Golden Serpent Young Master with a single palm?
As expected.
The Golden Serpent Young Master gritted his teeth, clearly having been truly angered.
"Good, it seems I haven't killed enough people. Otherwise, how would a martial artist as insignificant as you dare to offend my divine might!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master's gaze suddenly focused.
A world-shattering staff intent erupted from his body, like a colossal pillar sweeping across the universe, intending to crush all gods, buddhas, demons, and devils that stood in his way into pieces, and it fiercely charged towards Ling Fan.
Only then did Ling Fan finally glance at the Golden Serpent Young Master properly.
But he merely shook his head and sneered, "Someone as narrow-minded as you, is worthy of comprehending this upright and unyielding staff dao that pierces the heavens and earth? Do not insult the former martial artists who created this law."
"This staff dao should be used like this!"
As Ling Fan's voice fell, a terrifying staff intent also erupted from his body. Moreover, Ling Fan's staff intent was purer, more surging, and more tenacious than that of the Golden Serpent Young Master!
With an invincible conviction that charged forward and swept across the firmament, it fiercely collided with the Golden Serpent Young Master's staff intent.
Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap exploded in the void.
In this collision, Ling Fan did not move an inch.
On the other hand, the Golden Serpent Young Master was sent flying back, crashing heavily onto the Heaven-Piercing Staff Tablet, causing him to spit blood and his aura to weaken.
"Impossible! How long have you been comprehending, and how could your staff dao laws surpass mine! Who exactly are you!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master was extremely shocked and angry, and immediately got up from the ground.
He was actually not seriously injured. It was the two of them using the power of the stone tablet to compete from a distance, so he himself was not heavily injured.
But the blow to his confidence was unprecedented.
His pride could not tolerate him being defeated by an unknown person, and moreover, by a young man whose cultivation was almost two major realms lower than his.
"Scram."
Ling Fan gave a simple and direct reply of "scram."
Then, he controlled the power of the stone tablet and directly blasted the Golden Serpent Young Master, along with all the other people from the Ancient Serpent Sect, out of their cultivation positions.
"You!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master was furious.
It was always their Ancient Serpent Sect that blasted others.
Today, they themselves had received such treatment.
The rogue cultivators saw this, and although they dared not show any offense towards the Ancient Serpent Sect, they cheered inwardly!
It was simply too satisfying.
Ling Fan had done what they had always wanted to do but dared not, and lacked the strength to do.
This was great!
Let those people from the Ancient Serpent Sect be so arrogant, now they've been embarrassed.
Ling Fan glanced indifferently at the Golden Serpent Young Master, and with a thought, powerful staff dao laws transformed into countless staff shadows, descending from the stone tablet, immediately causing the Golden Serpent Young Master and the other defiant disciples of the Ancient Serpent Sect to flee in disarray, covering their heads.
"Aiya! You just wait for me!"
The Golden Serpent Young Master was so angry his lungs were about to explode. With a yelp, he ran away unwillingly.
