"Do you all want to take action against me as well?" Fang Chen said calmly, gripping Zhou Yan's neck. There was no roar, no shout, yet the moment those calm words were spoken, everyone felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.
Madness, dominance, boldness!
In an instant, looking at Fang Chen's not-so-imposing figure, people's gazes flickered slightly, and a few words suddenly surfaced in their minds.
Were Li Tian and his three companions weak? On the contrary, their strength was extremely formidable; even Song Donglai held some apprehension towards them. Their power was evident. However, at this moment, facing the four with their fierce gazes and an air of imminent violence, Fang Chen showed no fear and instead uttered such words.
Was this a provocation? Was he relying on Zhou Yan to make Li Tian and his companions hesitant to act? No! Only a select few powerful individuals could truly sense the inexplicable aura that surged from Fang Chen when he spoke those words.
It was an invincible aura!
Fearless, I am invincible!
"This guy..." Li Tian's pupils constricted, and a hint of jealousy suddenly appeared on his previously cold face.
Yes, jealousy! As the foremost figure among the younger generation of Snowmang Kingdom, Li Tian felt considerable envy at this moment. He understood very well how beneficial it would be to possess such an invincible aura for his future martial path, something he could only dream of. Among the younger generation, he had only seen one person with such an invincible presence—Song Donglai—and now a second had emerged!
In response to Fang Chen's indifferent question, Shizhongpeng and his two companions displayed anger on their faces; the killing intent in their eyes was almost palpable, as if it could erupt at any moment. However, the leader among them, Li Tian, remained silent. With Zhou Yan still in Fang Chen's grasp, despite their boiling killing intent, Shizhongpeng and his companions could only suppress it and wait for Li Tian to speak.
To kill or to negotiate?
The atmosphere around them became somewhat frozen.
No one spoke; only glances continuously swept between Li Tian and Fang Chen.
Undoubtedly, if they were to act at this moment, regardless of the outcome, Zhou Yan would surely be eliminated in the first instance.
This situation was unacceptable for Li Tian and his three companions. As the leader of the five, he could not afford to act recklessly just to stabilize his own side. Yet if they let Fang Chen go just like that, they would lose all face.
This is a dilemma, much like the one Zhou Yan faced before, where it seems that no matter what choice is made, it is wrong.
"Are you going to make a move?" "Do you all want to take action against me as well?"
The former was something Fang Chen once said to Zhou Yan, while the latter is what Fang Chen now says to Li Tian and his three companions.
Two nearly identical phrases, two extremely similar dilemmas...
In the crowd, many observant martial artists looked at Fang Chen's calm and upright figure, their pupils suddenly constricting. An indescribable feeling surged within them, and their gazes towards Fang Chen were as if they were looking at a monster.
What appeared to be a dangerous situation was actually under the complete control of this young man!
As the crowd gradually realized this point, their eyes filled with fear, and they silently exclaimed: Freak!
"A freakish strength, a freakish mindset; compared to this kind of guy, it's truly disheartening," Lian Yiyue said with a helpless expression on her pretty face. However, her gaze soon swept over to the pale-faced Li Tian and his three companions nearby, and her helplessness turned into schadenfreude.
If being in the same era as someone like Fang Chen was already unfortunate, then being an enemy of him was truly the worst kind of misfortune; it could definitely be called a tragedy.
The bizarre ice-blue light in Li Tian's pupils flickered violently at this moment. He fixed his gaze on Fang Chen's indifferent face, his hands tightly clenched together as an icy aura spread around him, seemingly about to explode. However, in the next moment, he took a deep breath, suddenly loosening his tightly clenched hands, even managing to force a smile onto his previously ashen face.
"My brother doesn't understand things well and acted rashly. Since Brother Fang Chen has already taught him a lesson, let's let him go," Li Tian said.
As soon as these words fell, the crowd erupted in an uproar. Even Shizhongpeng and the other three beside Li Tian wore expressions of disbelief. They knew very well how proud Li Tian was as the foremost among the younger generation of Snowmang Kingdom. Yet now, he had actually bowed his head to someone of the same generation.
At that moment, a strong sense of indignation spread across Shizhongpeng's three faces. Their bodies trembled lightly as they fell silent, but their gazes towards Fang Chen were filled with even more intense resentment.
Not only Shizhongpeng and his companions; even Zhou Yan, who was currently being choked by Fang Chen and struggling to speak while surrounded by a thick aura of death, was trembling violently. He desperately shook his head at Li Tian, weakly making sounds as if trying to say something.
"You really know how to win people's hearts," Fang Chen said as he glanced over at Li Tian and the three behind him. He suddenly chuckled lightly. Then he paused for a moment, ignoring the fleeting hatred in Li Tian's eyes as he lowered his gaze to Zhou Yan in his grasp.
The two locked eyes, and seeing the intense resentment in Zhou Yan's gaze, Fang Chen smiled lightly before casually tossing him towards Li Tian.
"I promise you," Fang Chen said, clapping his hands as if he had just thrown away a piece of trash, completely unconcerned about the three approaching Shizhongpeng.
"Brother Fang is generous." Li Tian caught Zhou Yan, who was barely clinging to life. A flash of astonishment crossed his face, but then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes as he smiled at Fang Chen. "Brother Fang is indeed generous." His laughter was loud, yet upon closer inspection, one could detect a hint of subtle mockery on Li Tian's smiling face.
Previously, due to Zhou Yan being in Fang Chen's hands, he had been unable to act and had to swallow his anger. But now that Fang Chen had released Zhou Yan back to them, they no longer needed to hold back or be cautious. So...
A fierce glint flashed in Li Tian's eyes.
Fang Chen's strength was indeed formidable, so much so that even Li Tian felt uncertain. After all, with his own power, it would be impossible to severely injure Zhou Yan without sustaining any damage himself.
But what did that matter? For Li Tian, he did not need to kill Fang Chen outright; it was enough to injure him or expend some of his Qi Energy. After all, the former would soon engage in a fierce battle with Song Donglai.
However, at that moment, the smile on Li Tian's face suddenly froze. He abruptly looked up and met Fang Chen's gaze, only to find Fang Chen smiling back at him.
In their locked gaze, Li Tian clearly saw the mockery on Fang Chen's face, mirroring his own from earlier.
"Brother Fang, please retract the Death Power from Zhou Yan!" Li Tian gritted his teeth and said slowly.
A faint layer of grayish mist surrounded Zhou Yan, and he exuded a strong aura of death energy, clearly eroded by Death Power. Although Death Power was terrifying, it should not be too difficult for a Body Refinement Realm warrior to dispel it—at least that was what Li Tian thought.
However, after taking Zhou Yan's body and attempting to expel the Death Power from him, he suddenly realized that it was beyond his ability to remove it. More importantly, every time he tried to draw out some of the Death Power from Zhou Yan, a mysterious force that was completely opposite surged within him, causing the Death Power inside Zhou Yan to replenish endlessly.
On one side was a slow process of guiding out some Death Power; on the other side was an instantaneous replenishment. In this stark contrast, Li Tian found it impossible to expel the Death Power from Zhou Yan. Without being able to remove the Death Power, Zhou Yan was essentially half-dead in the Purple Sun Mountain Range. If this continued, he would likely become truly dead.
Realizing this, Li Tian suddenly understood that although Fang Chen had tossed Zhou Yan to them, they still had to be cautious and could not act recklessly. In fact, with Zhou Yan as a burden nearby, their collective strength was somewhat suppressed.
At the moment Li Tian spoke up, the three Shizhongpeng who had been gradually closing in on Fang Chen also seemed to realize something. Their bodies stiffened abruptly as they looked at Fang Chen with grim expressions.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Fang Chen smiled at Li Tian, making him remove all of Zhou Yan's Death Power at that moment. Was this a joke?
Seeing Fang Chen's smile, Li Tian felt a burning sensation on his face; that smile was undoubtedly a blatant mockery in his eyes.
"He can't die just yet, but..." Fang Chen's tone shifted, "You better pray I don't die at Song Donglai's hands."
As he spoke, Fang Chen cast a calm glance at the four of them, whose faces were filled with displeasure. He then turned away, no longer looking at them, and walked towards Lianyun Cave.
That was where he truly anticipated a great battle!
"Damn it, I'll tear him apart!" Shizhongpeng growled as he watched Fang Chen's retreating figure, his muscular face filled with rage. As he spoke, he was about to step forward to chase after Fang Chen.
"Do you want Zhou Yan to get into trouble?" Li Tian said lightly. As soon as his words fell, Shizhongpeng's foot, which had just moved forward, froze in place.
"We can't kill him or even touch him. Are we just going to let this kid walk away? What if he dies at Song Donglai's hands?" Shizhongpeng said.
"Someone with an invincible aura isn't so easy to kill. Besides, aren't we still here?" Li Tian glanced towards Lianyun Cave, and a cold smile suddenly flashed across his gloomy face. "If those two end up mutually destroying each other, that would be even more interesting."
