Chapter 292: I Let You Go?

The speaker, of course, was Jiang Fan.

He had never held any expectations for Tang Tianlong.

Facing a formidable enemy like Sun Chaozong, Tang Tianlong didn't dare to fight. He even abandoned Su Qiuning and fled alone.

Jiang Fan wouldn't blame him for that.

However, it was one thing that he didn't dare to protect his fellow disciple.

But he actually turned against her!

It was clearly Sun Chaozong who shamed him, yet he directed his resentment at his own people!

Someone who is cowardly outside but acts tough internally—

Jiang Fan had a two-word assessment for such a person:

Worthless!

Truly worthless!

Already embarrassed, Tang Tianlong was utterly humiliated by Jiang Fan's sudden rebuke. He roared in anger:

“What right do you have to speak to me like that?”

Jiang Fan said no more.

He felt that speaking another word to such a worthless person was a waste of time!

He simply stood up and casually kicked a broken brick lying in front of him towards Tang Tianlong.

The latter's expression changed once more.

He hurriedly dodged, but the brick still struck his other arm.

Snap—

A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed throughout the hall.

This further startled everyone.

A casual kick, and he broke Tang Tianlong's arm?

Although Tang Tianlong had performed poorly in front of Sun Chaozong, he was a genuine Foundation Establishment eighth-level expert!

Among the elite disciples present, no more than a handful surpassed him!

Yet, such a powerful individual appeared utterly vulnerable before this mysterious person.

“Just who is this guy?”

“I think he must be at least a chief disciple-level existence.”

Ouyang Jun was slightly taken aback.

He thought to himself, “This person is indeed extraordinary!”

“It seems my previous apprehension about him was correct.”

Sun Chaozong's eyes narrowed slightly.

He clearly understood the implication of Jiang Fan's kick.

This person's strength is truly remarkable!

Su Qiuning was startled and quickly stepped forward to check on Tang Tianlong, who was howling in pain.

She quickly took out a bone-mending paste, preparing to treat his injury.

Jiang Fan, however, snorted coldly, “Why bother with that worthless person?”

“Come here!”

Su Qiuning's small hands trembled with fright.

Her fear of Jiang Fan grew even stronger.

After a moment of hesitation, she carefully approached Jiang Fan, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt.

Her head was bowed, and she didn't dare to look into Jiang Fan's eyes.

She stammered, “Senior... Senior Brother, what... what are your instructions?”

Jiang Fan reached out, gently patted her head, and said in a softened voice:

“While away from home, you still know how to protect your sect.”

“You did very well.”

So he was praising her?

Su Qiuning's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled. She let out a small breath and said, “Senior Brother, you flatter me.”

But to her surprise,

Jiang Fan continued, “Considering your good performance today,”

“I will make a move for you this once.”

Su Qiuning's face lit up with joy, but then she became anxious again, “Won't... won't this cause you trouble?”

The person before them was Sun Chaozong!

A well-known Core Formation realm expert!

Jiang Fan said indifferently, “He's not worthy of being called trouble.”

Their conversation was perfectly clear in the pin-drop silence.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This person was truly arrogant!

Which of the Nine Sects' prodigies would dare to openly disrespect Sun Chaozong like this?

Ouyang Jun's eyes flickered with surprise.

Just what was this person's strength?

He felt somewhat fortunate that he hadn't intervened; otherwise, how would this person have had the opportunity to step in?

Sun Chaozong's face showed annoyance, and he laughed angrily:

“Who do you think you are?”

“Do you think you're a Golden Ranking List expert like Xia Chaoge?”

“To utter such ridiculous words!”

Jiang Fan turned around.

He looked at him calmly.

Sun Chaozong, even through his mask, met Jiang Fan's gaze and felt a sudden chill in his heart.

His expression became uncertain.

He truly couldn't fathom this person's strength.

After weighing his options, he glared fiercely at Su Qiuning, finding an excuse to back down, and said:

“Vile woman! For Senior Brother Ouyang's sake, I'll let you off this time!”

“There won't be a next time, or I won't go easy on you!”

With that, he started to leave.

Everyone present was speechless.

It was clearly out of fear of Jiang Fan's unknown strength, making him unwilling to engage easily.

Yet he used Ouyang Jun as an excuse.

Earlier, when Ouyang Jun tried to mediate, this guy was incredibly overbearing, telling Ouyang Jun not to meddle!

Now he claimed to be stopping for Ouyang Jun's sake.

How shameless.

Su Qiuning was overjoyed and couldn't help but glance sideways at Jiang Fan, who was clad in a long robe.

Deep reverence shone in her eyes.

Her immense trouble, which felt like the sky was falling, simply vanished with a single sentence from him.

However,

Just when she thought the matter had settled,

Jiang Fan said indifferently, “Did I say you could leave?”

Everyone's spirits jolted, and they looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment.

Sun Chaozong had already found an excuse to leave; what more did he want?

“What do you want?” Sun Chaozong asked, annoyed.

Not fighting and retreating today was already a great loss of face for him.

Yet this person was still not satisfied?

Jiang Fan, with his hands clasped behind his back, strolled towards him and said indifferently, “Kneel down and slap yourself until your mouth is mangled.”

“Otherwise, I can guarantee you won't leave Taibai Tower unscathed.”

Ouyang Jun clicked his tongue slightly.

These were the exact words Sun Chaozong had just said to Su Qiuning.

Now, Jiang Fan had almost repeated them word for word.

The difference was, his target was the famous Sun Chaozong!

Ouyang Jun now truly experienced the domineering arrogance of this mysterious person.

Su Qiuning's eyelids twitched as she listened.

Anxiously, she repeatedly said, “Senior Brother, it's not necessary, this is enough.”

She was already content to be spared from a disaster.

How could she dare to hope for an apology from Sun Chaozong?

Sun Chaozong laughed in anger, turned around, and stomped his foot on the ground, shaking the entire tavern:

“You refuse to accept a toast, but insist on a forfeit!”

“I let that vile woman off the hook; do you think I'm afraid of you?”

The other party was completely overstepping.

No matter how much Sun Chaozong weighed the pros and cons, he couldn't back down now.

Otherwise, his reputation for bullying the weak and fearing the strong would spread throughout the Nine Sects, and it would also tarnish the reputation of the Giant Sect!

“It's best if you're not afraid.”

Jiang Fan strode towards him and said, “So, you'll kneel down and slap your own mouth until it's mangled.”

“Or will I personally make you pay an even heavier price?”

Sun Chaozong laughed in fury, “Talk to me after you defeat me!”

He roared.

Veins bulged all over his body, and his blocky muscles rapidly rippled.

Powerful vital energy surged within him, making a gurgling sound like boiling water.

Ouyang Jun's expression turned serious.

He decisively retreated to a corner, his face showing surprise. “The Giant Sect's physique is truly astonishingly strong.”

“If I were to fight him, I would certainly lose unless I used a high-grade magical artifact.”

Feeling the terrifying power of Sun Chaozong's physique, the elite disciples no longer dared to remain seated.

They all retreated to the edges of the room.

Su Qiuning became extremely anxious and said, “Senior Brother, please… please don't fight.”

Sun Chaozong's terrifying physique made her heart pound just by looking at him.

This mysterious person, even wrapped in a loose robe, appeared frail before Sun Chaozong.

How could he be his opponent?

“Want to stop now? Too late!”

Sun Chaozong snorted coldly and launched his attack!

He pushed off the ground with both feet, and his entire body shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring, whooshing forward!

The wooden floor, where his feet had pushed off, was scorched, emitting wisps of smoke.

This showed the incredible speed of his propulsion!

Everyone only saw an afterimage.

Sun Chaozong's massive figure appeared before Jiang Fan.

A colossal fist, carrying an incredibly powerful momentum, smashed towards Jiang Fan's head!

“Die!” Sun Chaozong roared!

Jiang Fan remained expressionless, only now lowering his hands from behind his back.

He said indifferently:

“No progress whatsoever.”
