Super War God in the City

Chapter 197: The Body Remains



He Chuan had been minding his own business, thinking he was out of the woods, when suddenly, like a bolt out of the blue, Feng Qiang took a potshot at him.

Yun Fei and Li Mengying exchanged glances, realizing they had forgotten about this little punk, Feng Qiang. How could he lack such awareness? With everything that was happening, he really wasn't afraid to stir the pot, apparently clueless about the need for discretion.

Seeing this, they could only face the situation with resignation. It had come to this point: when there are too many lice, there's no point in scratching. Just do it!

Ling Fan's eyes widened, and he feigned anger at the two women, "What do I have to fear with me here, daring to conspire with an outsider and hide things from me, see how I deal with you two afterwards!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Fei and Li Mengying's hearts skipped a beat, that was a heavy accusation...

Ling Fan was simply scolding them on purpose and wasn't really angry. After saying his piece, he turned to look at He Chuan, whose face had turned pale.

"Damn it, still playing ignorant after doing something so devious!" Ling Fan sneered coldly.

"Anyone else, all of you better step forward consciously, I don't want to repeat myself!"

No one responded to his words, who would dare to?

"That's all then? Anyone else, stand out, all of you. Anyone who has slighted my Tian Yun today won't be walking out of this door alive!" Ling Fan said, with an icy tone, looking at Feng Qiang.

"Brother-in-law, that's all. It's just those two bastards surnamed Wang, and it seems there's also Tang Tiancheng behind them. Right, An Xixue and An Xiyao were also kidnapped by them, and now we have no idea if they're alive or dead!" Feng Qiang hurriedly reported.

"You damn well stop slandering people without proof, what makes you think we kidnapped them, do you have any evidence?" Wang Jing shouted angrily, her eyes red.

Feng Qiang was about to retort, but he saw Ling Fan gesture for him to stop, "Leave the rest to me!"

After glancing over Wang Jing and Wang Anxiang, he turned his cold gaze back to He Chuan, "Don't waste my time, take your own life, I won't implicate your family behind you!"

Ling Fan couldn't even be bothered to ask what He Chuan's name was; to him, this guy, regardless of his background, would have the same fate.

He Chuan's face turned multiple shades, knowing that any threats against Ling Fan were now futile, this man was already seeing red in his killing spree.

Immediately, his eyes darted around, and he addressed Li Mengying with a heavy voice, "Miss Li, I stepped in twice to help you out of a tough spot, and you were ungrateful, insulting me first. It was your disdain that made me retaliate with a few harsh words, but I never caused you any real harm. Shouldn't you come out and speak up for what's right!"

Li Mengying, ultimately not heartless, although He Chuan had ulterior motives in getting to know her, indeed, he had helped her, both morally and logically.

Ling Fan's eyebrows arched as he looked towards Li Mengying, who simply nodded without saying a word.

Seeing this, He Chuan once again let out a silent sigh of relief inside. This woman wasn't stupid; she hadn't lost her mind.

"You two knew each other before this?" Ling Fan suddenly asked He Chuan, his question came out of nowhere.

He Chuan was caught off guard, not understanding why he asked, and shook his head, "We just met by chance yesterday."

"Hm, cut off both of your arms and get lost!" Ling Fan spoke again.

Li Mengying, "..."

Yun Fei, "...."

The crowd, "..."

"What the hell do you mean by this? Repaying kindness with malice?" He Chuan was suddenly frantic.

"Heh!" Ling Fan chuckled coldly.

"I'm particularly petty, we're all men here, so stop pretending to be a good guy. You dared to covet my woman, I'm pissed at you. One more word and I'll send you to the Western Paradise!"

The whole room was dumbfounded once again, this guy...

Yun Fei couldn't help but smile ruefully in her heart. This guy was still the same—overly protective of those around him. Little did he know that this would only make others more fixated, fueling their wild thoughts. One glance at Li Mengying's flushed cheeks was enough to tell.

Supported by Chen Ling, Li Mengying was caught off guard by Ling Fan's words, as if struck by a great impact. Her head spun, giving rise to an unreal sensation.

"What... what did he just say? Did he say I'm his woman?" Li Mengying murmured, dazed, her cheeks blooming with embarrassment. Her heart raced wildly, like a startled fawn.

He Chuan's face almost fell, incredulous. How could this guy feel both righteous and nefarious? He was far from normal!

"Do you even know who I am? Just now, the Yuan Family of the Heavenly Vein's eighteen families had to treat me with utmost respect, and you dare to offend me?" He Chuan held onto his last lifeline and said coldly.

Among those present, only he felt confident and bold enough to speak such tough words to Ling Fan, the god of killing, all because of a mysterious boss whom Young Master He of the He Family followed.

"Let me tell you the truth, no matter what your background is, if there's even a slight fault today, not even the Heavenly King could save you. It's not just you; the entire Tian Yun will be wiped out. Don't think I'm just trying to scare you!" He Chuan warned again.

"Sss~"

The onlookers gasped in unison at the sound.

"What kind of background does this guy have? He's too terrifying, isn't he, for the eighteenth family of the Heavenly Vein to treat him so respectfully?" Suddenly, someone exclaimed in shock, looking at He Chuan incredulously. They hadn't expected that today's Xinghua Banquet would conceal such a Great God.

"He doesn't seem to be a core member of his family, does he? I've never heard of core members coming out to handle the Secular World's affairs. If an external affair's member is this powerful, isn't the family behind him frighteningly formidable?" Another person said uneasily.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be a scion of the He Family, right? The He Family seems far less influential than the Yuan Family, but we don't understand the affairs within Zhongnan. It seems it's not as straightforward as we thought. Let's just watch; this is going to be entertaining!" whispered someone else.

Wang Anxiang was also shocked on stage. "This guy has such a formidable background?"

He immediately remembered what Yuan Deyong had cautioned him about when he was first approached. Looking at He Chuan again, a flicker of excitement lit his eyes. The more influential He Chuan's background was, the better, especially if it caused a greater standoff with Ling Fan.

Li Shishi stamped her foot in frustration, cursing, "This fool. He's hit a steel plate now, hasn't he? It's infuriating!"

Shangguan Yue took a deep breath; her best friend was acting even more emotional than herself about Ling Fan, whom she seemed to barely know.

Sitting with Yuan Shang, Leng Chuan grew excited. Finally, someone who might stand a chance against Ling Fan had appeared. Just moments ago, Ling Fan's formidable presence had been nearly suffocating, almost leaving him breathless.

"Brother Yuan, do you know him? Is what he's saying true?" Leng Chuan asked in a low voice, unable to mask his excitement.

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, his emotions scarcely recovered from Yuan Deyong's demise. Nodding unnaturally, he said, "If even the He Family can't handle it, then probably few in the entire Zhongnan Martial Family can control this kid. His fate is sealed!"

At these words, Leng Chuan inhaled sharply, his excitement intensifying, "His connections are that significant?"

Yun Fei was alarmed. If what He Chuan said was true, then Ling Fan was in grave danger!

Li Mengyao felt her heart stop for a moment, looking incredulously at He Chuan—was he truly harboring such an unfathomably deep background?

Feng Qiang also began to have regrets, feeling he shouldn't have spoken out of turn just now. He faintly understood why Yun Fei and Li Mengying had remained silent earlier—could it be they already knew the guy's identity wasn't simple?

However, when Li Mengying had scolded He Chuan before, she didn't seem to show any fear, and Feng Qiang's thoughts started to get muddled.

"Crack...."

While everyone was still trapped in their shocked thoughts and hadn't recovered, they saw that, without knowing when, Ling Fan had appeared in front of He Chuan.

And there He Chuan was, kneeling on the ground, both arms broken.

"Whoever you love doesn't matter to me. I'm giving you a chance. Go ahead and call for your parents. If you can't bring back reinforcements before nightfall, only your corpse will remain!" Ling Fan said indifferently.

At his words, the entire hall was struck dumb!
