Super War God in the City

As Ling Fan's voice fell, the only sounds left in the courtyard were those of pained howls; silence reigned otherwise!

Lu Feichen had utterly petrified, facing off alone against an entire clan of elites. Even though Qiu Yuanqing and Qiu Yuansheng had high cultivation, they were merely somewhat stronger than the rest, yet they had never stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.

And Ling Fan before them, even if not a Grandmaster Realm expert, was clearly exhibiting a strength that well matched that of a grandmaster's martial force.

"How can this be? How is it possible that the Qiu family's elite is no match for him?" Lu Hanshan murmured to herself, shaking her head vigorously, unable to accept the reality before her.

He Huiyun stood there numbly, watching the scene unfold and whispered, "I always said there are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens. Let bygones be bygones, and sure enough, my words have come true…"

He Qingyang felt as if he had shed a heavy burden, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Ling Fan and silently remarking, "A miracle, this guy really created a miracle!"

Chen Xue's eyes too were filled with surprise as she looked at Ling Fan, realizing she had underestimated the boyfriend her daughter had found.

He Jiayi burst into tears of utter joy; she had won her bet. Ling Fan, to completely rid her of any future worries, didn't hesitate to kill Qiu Yu and establish an irreconcilable enmity with the Qiu family. She didn't know how to repay this debt of gratitude, her only option was to commit herself to him!

"What's the matter, changed your mind? No longer planning to tear me to pieces with your wild blade?" Ling Fan teased.

The faces of Qiu Yuanqing and his companion turned red, weighing their own strength against their opponent. Neither of them was a match; it would be humiliating to step forward, but even more so not to.

Sitting on the ground, Qiu Jianbai nearly fainted again at the sight before him!

Qiu Yuanqing tightly gripped the short blade in his hand. He exchanged a determined glance with Qiu Yuansheng, ready to make their move, when suddenly a voice came from beyond the gate.

"Useless descendants, utterly disgracing the face of our Qiu family!" An elderly and authoritative voice suddenly filled the courtyard.

Upon hearing the voice, Qiu Yuanqing trembled violently, sweating profusely, while Qiu Yuansheng was not faring any better. Both quivered as they hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground.

Everyone was shocked by the scene unfolding before them, clueless about what had just happened!

He Qingyang and his wife exchanged glances, at a loss for what was happening, but judging from the tone, they presumed a formidable person had arrived!

The Lu father and daughter were equally astonished. Did the Qiu family still have a hidden card?

Caught off guard, they saw an elderly figure with a slightly hunched back and a face full of wrinkles, slowly walking into the courtyard.

"Ancestor... I am guilty and willing to accept punishment. This man has killed my son and crippled the heirs of the Qiu family. I hope you will intervene and kill this man!" Qiu Yuanqing pressed his head tightly against the ground as he lamented.

Qiu Yuansheng likewise bowed his head to the ground, making the same plea as Qiu Yuanqing.

At the doorstep, Qiu Jianbai's pale face flushed with excitement. He had heard his father speak of a mysterious ancestor hidden within the Qiu family, who was in seclusion for a life-and-death trial.

It was said that this ancestor was nearly one hundred and fifty years old and would only appear when the Qiu family faced a life or death crisis. So it was true!

The rest of the Qiu family members also ignited with endless hope; this legendary ancestor was their spiritual pillar!

Hearing the words of Qiu Yuanqing and the other, He Qingyang felt like he had been struck by lightning. It was like bungee jumping, soaring into heaven one moment and plummeting into hell the next, harshly enduring what was known as the Ice and Fire Dual Heavens.

Chen Xue's mind was equally boggled. The Qiu family actually had an old monster in hiding?

Just as everything was starting to look clear, if not for this sudden appearance of the Qiu Family Patriarch, Ling Fan would have had the Qiu family under his foot today, and the He family would have also escaped calamity!

But now, uncertainty was rife again, and her heart tensed with anxiety.

He Jiayi stood in the corner, her eyes wide in astonishment, "How could this be? Could everything really change because of this old ancestor who suddenly appeared?"

"Patriarch of the Qiu Family?" Lu Feichen's lips trembled as he spoke.

"Dad, who... who is the Patriarch of the Qiu Family?" Lu Hanshan swallowed and couldn't help but ask.

Instinctively, she felt that this old ancestor must be no ordinary figure, but she had no idea how formidable he actually was!

"I've only heard rumors, but if they are true, this ancestor is a supreme figure who made a name for himself a century ago. If he makes a move, Ling Fan will undoubtedly die!" Lu Feichen affirmed confidently.

"That powerful?" Lu Hanshan doubted; she could no longer afford blind confidence.

"Hehe, a Grandmaster Realm expert from a hundred years ago, how strong do you think he has become now? If it wasn't for the Qiu family facing a life and death crisis, he would not have shown himself!" Lu Feichen said with a heavy voice.

Lu Hanshan's eyes instantly widened, and she couldn't help exclaiming in surprise, "A master has finally appeared, and I will be able to see that idiot sent to Huangquan. I thought there was no one in Ice City who could handle him!"

The elder scoffed at the two kneeling on the ground and immediately turned his head to look at Ling Fan, his murky eyes exuding a cold chill, "Boy, it has been thirty years since I last came down from the mountain, you are quite remarkable!"

Ling Fan was expressionless. From the moment the other party appeared, his gaze had been fixed on him, sensing that the feeling and aura emanating from him were very dangerous and strong.

He hadn't expected the Qiu family to come up with such a complication halfway through. He reminded himself not to underestimate these declining Scattered Cultivator Clans; indeed, the centipede dies but never falls.

"Hehe, you're quite impressive as well, an old man at your age, already on the brink of the grave, yet still comes out to wipe your descendants' asses!" Ling Fan said disdainfully.

The people of the Qiu family were immediately shocked; how dare this young man insult their patriarch?

"Damn it, I want to see how you die a miserable, painful death, daring to insult our patriarch, you deserve to die!" the Qiu family members cursed and shouted angrily.

"I, Qiu Haoqiong, have been famed for more than a hundred and twenty years, yet I have never seen someone as arrogant as you. Have the times really changed during the decades of my seclusion, and the young people of today all become so arrogant?" the old man said coldly.

"Old man, when it comes to arrogance, I'm not even one-tenth as arrogant as your Qiu family. With your old arms and legs, if you fought a fierce battle with me, you'd be on your way to the afterlife, right?" Ling Fan sneered.

The Qiu family members turned pale upon hearing this, their hearts filled with sorrow. It was very likely that the patriarch's lifespan was coming to an end!

After this ordeal, the Qiu family would no longer have a protector, and it seemed they would have to strive to cultivate and grow. The patriarch couldn't protect them forever!

Qiu Haoqiong's face changed abruptly, his gaze becoming stern, "Boy, having such strength at your young age is not easy; you are worthy of the title 'genius'. To destroy a genius like you on the verge of death would be an extremely enjoyable thing for me! Hahaha!"

"Pervert!" He Jiayi cursed inwardly, realizing there seemed to be no normal people in the Qiu family.

Qiu Haoqiong's laughter subsided, looking at Ling Fan with an air of calm indifference and interest, "Boy, I see no hint of panic about you, do you have any cards left to play? Or perhaps, you think I'm not your match?"

Qiu Haoqiong's words immediately sent a wave of shock through the onlookers. This young man had continuously defied expectations; did he truly have some hidden cards that could turn this deadly situation around?

With that thought in mind, they all turned their gazes toward Ling Fan, eagerly searching for an answer.

"Hehe, in terms of cultivation, I'm not sure!" Ling Fan pondered aloud.

The Qiu family members sighed with relief upon hearing this, this answer was what they wanted. However, what Ling Fan said next stunned them once again.

"However, I bet you don't dare kill me, and you won't kill me!" Ling Fan said with a smirk, looking at Qiu Haoqiong.
