Chapter 59

Chen Fan stood on the stage, his face devoid of any emotion.

To others, Lin Hu was a prominent figure in the overseas Chinese community, the Tiger of Alaska, a disciple of the Hongmen sect, and a peak-level martial artist. Any of these titles would be impressive.

But to Chen Fan, Lin Hu was just a small insect that required a bit more effort to crush, nothing more.

Lin Hu was right before he died; the techniques Chen Fan used were not ordinary martial arts, but the fist techniques of immortals!

The Thirty-Six Techniques of True Martial Arts were pure physical combat techniques practiced by the disciples of the True Martial Immortal Sect during their Qi Cultivation stage. The destructive power of these martial arts far exceeded the imagination of Earth's martial arts, encompassing all possible physical combat methods.

After cultivating the Jade Bone, Chen Fan could already activate seven techniques, and he was confident that even Lei Qianjue would be no match for him.

If a Qi Cultivation disciple could master thirty techniques, they could even tear apart a先天境 (Xian Tian Jing) great cultivator with their bare hands. However, Chen Fan was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and to master thirty techniques, he would need to reach at least the Divine Sea stage.

But even the first three techniques alone had already stunned everyone. The third technique, Void Shock, was almost indistinguishable from the external release of inner strength by a master in the化境 (Hua Jing) stage, capable of killing from a distance.

Chen Fan's gaze swept across the stage, and many of the big shots had already bowed to this young man. Only Xing Zhong's face was pale, and he said with a bitter smile:

"Master Chen, can you spare me?"

"What do you think?" Chen Fan, with his hands behind his back, took a step forward and was already on the stage.

As he slowly approached Xing Zhong, Xing Zhong's body trembled uncontrollably. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled out a pistol from behind his back, and pointed it at Chen Fan, trembling:

"Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot!"

"Oh, really? Go ahead and shoot." Chen Fan's steps did not stop, and he said calmly.

"I really will shoot!" Xing Zhong's hand trembled even more, his voice hoarse!

Fourth Uncle shook his head with a cold smile. If it were an ordinary inner strength martial artist, they might still fear him. After all, no matter how high one's martial arts were, the body could not withstand firearms. If the gun was too close, even a martial artist would not have time to react.

But who was Master Chen? A master in the Hua Jing stage!

Even if he were not a master in the Hua Jing stage, the power of the last three techniques would not be much different from a master, and a mere pistol could not threaten him.

Sure enough, Chen Fan suddenly shouted:

"Shoot!"

Xing Zhong's hand suddenly trembled, and with a bang, he really did shoot.

Everyone was shocked and looked over quickly!

This was a pistol, a modern weapon!

No one had ever heard of anyone being able to withstand a bullet with their body.

The scene that unfolded made everyone's pupils dilate.

A faint golden light shield enveloped Chen Fan's body. On the shield, a copper bullet was the center, causing ripples to spread outward. Although the shield was shaking, it remained incredibly sturdy.

"Even... even a bullet can't kill him?" Some of the big shots who had harbored a glimmer of hope were now completely despairing.

Fourth Uncle said, word by word: "Inner strength released externally, true qi formed into a barrier. This is a martial arts master."

"Martial arts at the Hua Jing stage, unafraid of firearms!"

Chen Fan removed the bullet and sighed.

"You really dared to shoot!"

"Since you did, I can't spare you."

"No!" Xing Zhong's face was filled with fear, and he was about to beg for mercy.

Chen Fan's hand trembled slightly, and the bullet, with a speed comparable to when it was fired, shot back instantly, piercing through Xing Zhong's head, entering through his eye socket and exiting the back of his skull.

Xing Zhong, the Tianhe, was dead!

Master Wu could no longer contain his fear and fell to his knees, trembling:

"Master Chen, spare my life, Master Chen, spare my life."

Chen Fan ignored him and instead looked at the big shots on the stage.

The big shots, who had no choice but to face the situation, finally sighed deeply. Xu Ao slowly stood up and bowed to Chen Fan:

"Master Chen, your martial arts are divine. Jiangbei is grateful for your help this time."

"From today on, Jiangbei will follow your lead. Any command, no questions asked."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald giant shuddered and also stood up, shouting: "Master Chen!"

"Master Chen!" "Master Chen!" "Master Chen!"

One by one, the big shots stood up, afraid of being the last to do so, like Xing Zhong, and meeting a tragic end.

If Chen Fan's three techniques to kill Lin Hu still left them with a glimmer of hope, then his fearlessness against firearms and the finger that killed Xing Zhong had completely shattered their beliefs. How could they deal with someone who was not afraid of bullets?

Perhaps only the state could deal with him, and in all of China, there were few who could.

Letting such a person become the leader of Jiangbei, everyone was convinced.

The crowd below watched as the big shots, whose influence could shake Jiangbei, bowed to the young man, feeling that this day was the most exciting of their lives.

"A man should be like this!"

Many people sighed deeply.

They knew that after today, Jiangbei would have only one voice.

That of Master Chen!

...

Soon, the tourists and wealthy merchants below the stage dispersed, and Yang Li and others accompanied Ah Xiu back to the town.

They were both shocked and afraid.

Shocked by Chen Fan's incredible power. Afraid that he might hold a grudge for how they treated him these past few days.

Especially Zhang Ge, who wished he could kick Xiao Wang to death.

If it weren't for this guy's instigation, he wouldn't have tried to seduce Ah Xiu.

This was Master Chen's little girlfriend! If Chen Fan could kill a big shot like Xing Zhong, crushing a small provincial kickboxing team member would be like killing a chicken.

Xiao Wang was also trembling, no longer the confident person he had been, constantly looking at his girlfriend.

At this moment, they could only rely on Yang Li's relationship with Chen Fan's cousin to plead for mercy.

Yang Li sighed inwardly. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she realized that her boyfriend had been trying to seduce Master Chen's girlfriend. If Chen Fan were still the high school student he used to be, it would have been just a matter of a broken relationship.

But now he was Master Chen, famous throughout Jiangbei and Jiangnan. Would he be so lenient?

As they were thinking, several black-clad men blocked their path and said coldly:

"Master Chen wants to see you."

Xiao Wang and Zhang Ge's bodies trembled, almost collapsing to the ground.

Was the retribution coming so quickly?

Only Yang Li could maintain her composure and said calmly: "Please lead us to him."

They met Chen Fan again in a small courtyard.

At this moment, Chen Fan had returned to his youthful appearance, sitting in a chair, playing with a gray crystal, not at all like a leader of the underworld who could kill with a smile.

But around him sat the big shots of various cities in Jiangbei. These big shots sat stiffly, only daring to sit on the edge of their chairs, like students listening to a teacher's lecture.

Yang Li and the others did not dare to make a sound.

Chen Fan said calmly from above:

"Although Ah Xiu is not my girlfriend, you seduced her in front of me. What do you think I should do with you?"

Xiao Wang and Zhang Ge's bodies trembled. Chen Fan had said this before, and Xing Zhong had died. They had no hesitation and fell to their knees, begging for mercy.

Yang Li also said hoarsely: "This is our fault, but please spare them for Chen Ning's sake."

"Spare them?" Chen Fan smiled. "Sure. But I don't want any information about me to leak from your mouths, especially to my sister Chen Ning."

"If she finds out, I will kill you. Do you dare?"

"I agree," Yang Li said after a moment of silence. This agreement was a matter of life and death. Xiao Wang and Zhang Ge looked at her with gratitude.

"Alright, you can go," Chen Fan waved his hand, dismissing them, leaving Ah Xiu standing there, unsure of what to do.

"Chen Fan... Master Chen, isn't it too lenient to let them go like this?" Xu Ao paused before asking.

"They are just ants. Why make things difficult for them? If I really wanted to kill them, I would have done it long ago." Chen Fan was indifferent.

Ah Xiu was not someone he cared about deeply.

If Xiao Qiong were here, he wouldn't just tolerate a seduction; he would kill without hesitation.

After saying this, Chen Fan looked at another person kneeling on the ground.

"Master Wu, is what you said true?"

"Senior, if I lie, may my ancestors curse me to be destroyed!" Master Wu swore, then continued: "My sect does have a Yinlong Pond that can produce this crystal. Unfortunately, we only know that it has a strong yin energy and can be used to nurture ghosts, but we don't know its other effects."

"Since it's true, I'll spare your life for now." Chen Fan looked at the crystal in his hand and suddenly smiled: "It's really a stroke of luck. I was worried about the Yunshan Array, but I didn't expect to find 'Yin Crystal Stone.'"

"Fine, it seems I need to leave Chu Prefecture for a while."

After saying this, his gaze became deep and distant, lost in thought.
