Slap!
A crisp slap echoed.
Wan Guanning's eyes widened in horror, his face contorted by the blow as he fell heavily to the ground.
The four elders from Wanqi Tower, who were about to attack the demon horse and the toad, froze on the spot.
What was going on?
Their young master was a top-tier genius ranked in the top ten of the Storm Sea region's younger generation. He had reached the late Golden Core stage before the age of thirty and could even defeat ordinary peak Golden Core cultivators, a true prodigy.
Now, he had been knocked down by a single slap from an unknown early Golden Core cultivator.
Even if their young master was caught off guard, this shouldn't have happened.
Not just the four quasi-saint elders of Wanqi Tower.
All the other onlookers, as well as the Chen Zhen Dong and Chen Xia siblings, were stunned.
"You're seeking death! I will kill you!"
Wan Guanning's body trembled with rage, his teeth gritted so hard they felt like they would break. Overwhelmed by fury, he leaped up from the ground.
"You? Not qualified."
Ling Fan sneered, a faint power of the Myriad Laws Golden Core emanating from him. It transformed into a palm the size of a house and pressed down.
"Hmph, I was careless just now. This time, I'm prepared. How could I lose to trash like you!"
Wan Guanning spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression fierce. A powerful Golden Core law erupted from him, and instantly, surging waves appeared out of nowhere, crashing towards the golden palm print.
Just as everyone thought Wan Guanning would easily crush the gray-haired young man this time.
The golden palm print descended like a mountain-crushing, wave-breaking force, carrying an unparalleled sense of pressure. It instantly shattered all the tidal waves, pinning Wan Guanning firmly to the ground, his face pressed intimately against the earth, about to be flattened.
"Boom!"
At this, everyone fell silent.
That was Wan Guanning!
He was actually suppressed like this, and by someone with a much lower cultivation level.
"Let's go, Miss Chen."
Ling Fan said to Chen Xia.
"Ah? Okay!" Chen Xia, startled, finally reacted.
"Toad, Sheng Long, you two deal with these four elders." Ling Fan instructed.
"No need for Old Ma, I'm enough!" The toad stood on its hind legs, grinning widely.
"As you wish." The demon horse was indifferent.
It wasn't interested in battles without challenge anymore. This opportunity was for the toad to show off.
Boom boom boom!
As demonic winds enveloped the entire first floor of Wanqi Tower, a giant golden toad grew in size. The golden flame patterns on its body were lifelike, as if about to leap out. Explosive power surged forth, sweeping in all directions.
The four elders of Wanqi Tower instantly changed color, sensing the toad's overwhelming demonic might. They had only felt this kind of power from the Island Master!
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Four loud thuds.
The four quasi-saint elders of Wanqi Tower were effortlessly dealt with by the toad, lying in pools of blood like four dead dogs.
The crowd was utterly dumbfounded. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Chen Zhen Dong's eyes were about to pop out, a chill rising in his heart.
Wan Guanning, still suppressed on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, unable to accept this reality, roared defiantly, "Kid, kill me if you dare! Otherwise, when my father makes a move, it will be your end!"
"Chen Zhen Dong, is this kid from your Hongtian Island? He dares to cause trouble on our Wanqi Island. You Hongtian Island won't escape responsibility for this!"
Wan Guanning shouted.
Chen Zhen Dong's face turned fearful.
Ling Fan frowned slightly.
This Wan Guanning was indeed stubborn, still daring to provoke.
A killing intent flashed in Ling Fan's eyes.
Just as he was about to fulfill Wan Guanning's wish and kill him, Chen Zhen Dong, startled, stopped him. "Ling... Young Master Ling, absolutely not! Suppressing him is enough, you must not commit further violence. His father, the Island Master of Wanqi Island, is not someone we can afford to offend. If you kill him, we will all be in trouble."
Ling Fan glanced disdainfully at Chen Zhen Dong, finding him excessively weak.
The other party had already set a trap to harm him, and even intended to defile his sister, yet he still dared not break ties.
Too weak.
Ling Fan ignored Chen Zhen Dong and was about to crush Wan Guanning.
At this very moment.
The commotion on the first floor of Wanqi Tower reached the top floor. Even though the Island Master of Wanqi Island had used a spirit artifact to shield his senses, this disturbance could not be blocked. The tea tables in front of everyone shook.
Although the four quasi-saints were easily defeated, their battle still caused aftershocks that shook Wanqi Tower.
The Island Master of Hongtian Island, Chen Yushan, and several elders frowned. The Island Master of Wanqi Island thought his son had succeeded and, with confidence, voluntarily removed the shield.
This removal was not without consequence, as he immediately discovered the situation on the first floor and was greatly alarmed!
Chen Yushan and the others also noticed everything and said grimly, "Brother Wan, what is going on!"
Wan Ren Wang snorted, did not answer, and vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he unleashed a palm strike filled with surging saintly power towards Ling Fan.
"Boss, leave this to me!"
The toad, having shown off by fighting four opponents, was in high spirits. Seeing the Island Master of Wanqi Island attack, its fighting spirit soared. It tore down with a clawed web, instantly colliding with Wan Ren Wang's palm strike.
Boom!
A terrifying storm erupted, the aftershocks sweeping through the first floor of Wanqi Tower. Countless artifacts, counters, screens, tables, and chairs were flung away, and even weaker cultivators below the Golden Core realm were sent flying.
Wan Ren Wang retreated half a step.
The toad, however, retreated two steps.
But it showed no fear, its fighting spirit growing even fiercer as it grinned ferociously.
Wan Ren Wang was shocked, his eyes looking at the toad with uncertainty, then at the demon horse, his wariness increasing.
"What is going on!"
After all, he was a cunning old fox. Assessing the situation, he withdrew his power and asked with a darkened face.
"Father! Chen Zhen Dong and his sister stole treasures from our Wanqi Tower and were caught red-handed. We were about to apprehend them for questioning when this fellow and those two beasts interfered, injuring me and the four elders. Father, you absolutely must not let them go!"
Wan Guanning, seeing his father appear, gained confidence and embellished the story.
At this point, the Island Master of Hongtian Island and several elders also landed.
Chen Zhen Dong dared not speak, fearing his father's reprimand, as the matter had originated with him. If he hadn't fallen into Wan Guanning's trap out of greed, there wouldn't have been so many complications.
Chen Xia was much calmer and recounted the events truthfully.
Chen Yushan knew his daughter's character and that she would never lie. He immediately looked at Wan Ren Wang and said coldly, "Brother Wan, our Hongtian Island has never offended your Wanqi Island. In fact, we've actively sought business with you and maintained good relations. Yet, why did you send your son to frame my children! This matter requires an explanation from you."
