Mo Xie Gongzi and Zhang Liuming on the high presiding stage, at this moment, their faces were ashen, looking extremely grim.
Especially Mo Xie Gongzi, he could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up, gripping the railing in front of him with both hands, almost twisting it out of shape.
How could this be!
How could he be so strong!
Mo Xie Gongzi roared in his heart.
He was not even twenty years old.
Yet he could single-handedly defeat all six great protectors.
What kind of monstrous talent was this?
Did such a genius truly exist in this world?
At this moment, Mo Xie Gongzi felt that the so-called Four Young Masters of Tianchu were nothing but a joke in front of Ling Fan.
"Liu Han, take Ji Hong down to be treated."
Ling Fan said faintly.
Liu Han was stunned for a moment, only then snapping back from his shock. He quickly and carefully helped Ji Hong, who was half a step into the gates of hell, to his feet.
Ji Yan could still move. She cast a complex glance at Ling Fan, and together with Liu Han, helped Ji Hong off the battle platform.
Ling Fan's gaze swept across the surroundings.
No one dared to meet his eyes, all of them averting their gazes.
Ling Fan's gaze finally landed on Mo Xie Gongzi.
With a few leaps, he had already arrived on the high platform.
"You... how are you!"
Mo Xie Gongzi was suddenly startled and instinctively took a few steps back.
He then blushed.
He was actually scared away by some unknown young man!
How could this be?
He was the young master of the Dark Martial Hall, the son of a Martial Dao Grandmaster!
In this vast Tianchu City, who dared to lay a hand on him?
He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, stiffened his neck, and glared at Ling Fan with feigned ferocity.
"The Dark Martial Hall bullied my friend. Today, I intend to raze the Dark Martial Hall. Do you submit?"
Ling Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as deep and calm as a tranquil lake, and said indifferently.
"What!"
Mo Xie Gongzi was completely enraged upon hearing this.
It wasn't enough that the gray-haired youth had killed the six great protectors.
Now he claimed he would raze their Dark Martial Hall. This was utterly arrogant.
Even though the six great protectors were dead.
His father, the Hall Master of the Dark Martial Hall, was still alive!
As long as his father, this Martial Dao Grandmaster, was still here, who could touch their Dark Martial Hall?
Could it be that this youth was so arrogant that he believed even a Martial Dao Grandmaster could not deal with him?
"Presumptuous! You think you can raze our Dark Martial Hall all by yourself? What kind of bragging is this!" Mo Xie Gongzi said indignantly and disdainfully.
But before he could finish speaking.
A black light flashed.
*Pfft!*
A bloody hole suddenly appeared in the center of his brow.
Ling Fan said faintly, "I asked if you submit. Since you didn't answer the question, you die."
Mo Xie Gongzi's expression froze instantly. His eyes widened in disbelief.
His gaze was filled with fear, anger, regret, and other emotions.
But the most prominent was disbelief.
He could not believe it even in death.
Ling Fan actually dared to kill him.
He was Mo Xie Gongzi, the young master of the Dark Martial Hall, one of the Four Young Masters of Tianchu City, a super genius in the late stage of the Xuan Gang realm.
Moreover, his father was the Martial Dao overlord who dominated the underground world of the entire Tianchu province, feared by all, and even the Governor's Mansion treated him with caution.
How could anyone dare to kill him within Tianchu City?
But Mo Xie Gongzi was fated not to get an answer to this question.
His consciousness gradually sank into boundless darkness.
His life force rapidly dissipated.
Soon, he turned into a cold corpse.
Mo Xie Gongzi was dead!
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill surge from the soles of their feet straight to the crown of their heads.
This was even more shocking than the death of the six great protectors.
This was the young master of the Dark Martial Hall, the son of the Martial Dao Grandmaster who ruled the underground world of Tianchu province!
On the Ji family's side.
Ji Xian, Ji De, and Ji Tianzong were dumbfounded.
Ji Tianzong's teeth were chattering with fear.
That was the Mo Xie Gongzi whom he could only look up to!
Yet Ling Fan killed him as easily as crushing an ant.
He couldn't help but recall how he had shown off in front of Ling Fan earlier...
Just thinking about how he had courted death in front of a terrifyingly boundless monstrous prodigy, he now felt a surge of lingering fear.
"You're crazy! You're crazy! You're absolutely insane! How dare you kill Mo Xie Gongzi!"
Zhang Liuming, who had been fawning over Mo Xie Gongzi, scrambled backward in terror.
His gaze towards Ling Fan was like looking at a terrifying devil.
Ling Fan didn't even spare him a glance.
Such a minor character was not worth his time or attention.
With a casual flick of his finger, a black light flashed, and a bloody hole appeared in Zhang Liuming's brow. His body suddenly stiffened, and with a tilt of his head, he died completely.
Ling Fan's expression remained as calm as ever, without joy or sorrow.
It was as if he had not just killed two people, but crushed two crawling insects.
"What about you? Today, I intend to raze the Dark Martial Hall. Do you submit?"
Ling Fan swept his gaze indifferently over the remaining Dark Martial Hall powerhouses on the high platform.
As those powerhouses were looked at by Ling Fan, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies no longer obeying them.
Among these powerhouses were more than a dozen Xuan Gang realm cultivators.
There were even more cultivators below the peak of the Qi Refining realm.
Such a lineup, in other places, especially in smaller martial cities like Jiangnan City or Xingsha City, would be considered a force not to be underestimated.
However, at this moment, these powerhouses were all trembling.
They looked at each other, unsure how to answer.
To say they did not submit was absolutely out of the question!
Dare to say no submission?
They would probably die trying!
Did they not see that their young master, Mo Xie Gongzi, was killed with a flick of a finger by that murderous youth simply for not answering the question?
To dare to say no submission would be like lighting a lamp in a latrine – seeking death!
"We submit! We submit!"
One person, unable to withstand Ling Fan's terrifying pressure, knelt down and surrendered with a thud.
With this person leading the way, the others seemed to have a sudden realization and knelt down one after another.
A group of Dark Martial Hall powerhouses kowtowed like pounding garlic, repeatedly saying, "We submit, we truly submit!"
This scene gave all the underground world powerhouses watching a sense of absurdity.
It had always been the people of the Dark Martial Hall who stepped on others' heads and asked if they submitted.
But today, it was the other way around.
This made many people, especially those who had been oppressed by the Dark Martial Hall, feel a sense of secret delight.
Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong, fortunes turn!
The Dark Martial Hall had its day!
"Good."
Ling Fan nodded slightly.
Then, streaks of black light spread out like death-dealing incantations. In an instant, all the Dark Martial Hall powerhouses on the high platform perished.
"We submit, why do you still kill us!"
Among those powerhouses, the strongest one was in the late stage of the Xuan Gang realm.
He still had a breath left, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed unwillingness as he sternly questioned Ling Fan.
"I said I would raze the Dark Martial Hall. Whether you submit or not, it will not change this outcome."
Ling Fan said calmly.
"You are ruthless!"
After saying this, the powerhouse's head lolled to the side, his eyes wide open in death, unable to rest in peace.
