Chapter 81

"Everyone, come at me together!"

As Ye Fan's extremely arrogant words echoed in their ears, and they looked at his still calm face, everyone's expressions became exceptionally serious.

The seriousness was due to the terrifying killing intent they sensed from Ye Fan!

The seriousness was also because of what Ye Fan had just done!

As the saying goes, an expert reveals their skill with just one move.

Ye Fan's single strike had made Qu Feng break out in a cold sweat, and his move that crippled Zhang Zhu was enough to prove how terrifying Ye Fan's strength was!

"If I'm not mistaken, you should also be a martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Later Heaven stage."

In the quiet hall, Qu Feng stared intently at Ye Fan and said with a serious expression, "Martial artists at the Great Perfection of the Later Heaven stage are not unknown figures. Which sect do you belong to?"

"Come over, and die!" Ye Fan coldly interrupted Qu Feng.

"Young man, you are too arrogant!"

Faced with Ye Fan's unparalleled arrogance, Qu Feng was finally provoked, "Today, I will make you understand that being too arrogant is not a good thing. In this world, there are always people better than you, and skies beyond the sky!"

With that, Qu Feng activated the internal energy in his body, raising his fighting spirit. His long hair fluttered without wind, and the black robe on his body was blown by the sudden surge of air, making a whistling sound, displaying the demeanor of a master.

"Whoosh!"

With his fighting spirit boiling, Qu Feng pounced at Ye Fan like an enraged tiger, moving extremely fast.

However—

Just as Qu Feng was about to approach Ye Fan, his arms suddenly spread out, resembling a crane catching fish, no longer as fierce as a tiger, but giving a sense of agility.

—Tiger-Crane Double Form!

This was the first of the three treasures of the Hung Kuen martial art, and also the treasure of the Hong Wu Sect. It was said to have been created by Hong Xiguan and Fang Yongchun after their martial arts exchange, mainly drawing from the ferocity of the tiger and the agility of the crane. Once mastered, it would achieve "Tiger and Crane united, invincible under heaven"!

"Seeing the form but not the intent, you dare to show your face here?"

Although Ye Fan knew little about Hung Kuen, he could immediately see that Qu Feng's movements were a mix of tiger and crane, combining the meaning of Xingyi Quan, but he had only learned the surface, and Ye Fan didn't take him seriously at all.

"You are asking for death!"

As a Great Perfection of the Later Heaven expert, Qu Feng was a significant figure in the entire Hong Wu Sect. Although he hadn't perfected the 'Tiger-Crane Double Form' of Hung Kuen, he had achieved a certain level of proficiency. Now, being belittled by Ye Fan, he roared in anger, transforming from 'Crane Form' to 'Tiger Form,' pouncing at Ye Fan like a hungry tiger, his iron fist smashing out!

"A grain of sand can also shine!"

Facing Qu Feng's active attack, Ye Fan did not retreat but attacked, using the 'Tiger Form' of Xingyi Quan to counter.

Intent moves the body, leading the energy, and manifesting the form!

In an instant, Ye Fan transformed into a fierce tiger, embodying both form and intent, majestic and awe-inspiring.

In comparison, Qu Feng's tiger form was more like a cat.

Starting like the wind, landing like an arrow!

With the tiger form revealed, Ye Fan took the initiative, leading with a cannon hammer strike aimed at Qu Feng.

This punch, Ye Fan achieved the unity of mind and intent, intent and energy, energy and force, shoulder and hip, elbow and knee, hand and foot, all moving together, striking immediately, taking the lead, and instantly overwhelming Qu Feng in both speed and momentum!

"Bang—"

In a flash, the two fists collided, like two mountains colliding, the sound was astonishing.

Crack!

Internal energy erupted, like fireworks, the air around the point of collision seemed to be pushed away, forming a current that made their clothes and sleeves flutter.

"Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Shortly after, the two fists separated, and Qu Feng's body involuntarily retreated, taking five steps back. The floor tiles he stepped on could not withstand the force and shattered.

Under the light, his face was slightly pale, his internal energy churning, and his right hand trembling as if electrocuted.

In comparison, Ye Fan's feet were like nails, firmly planted on the ground, not moving an inch.

With one move, the outcome was decided!

Whoosh!

Seeing this, Qiao Bazhi, Liu Qin, Zhang Zhu, and the four elite members of the Nanqing Honghu Branch were all shocked, and Wu Ren, who had been about to sneak attack Ye Fan, stopped just three meters away.

It was like a high-speed car suddenly braking to a halt!

He... How could he be so strong?

One-eyed Wu Ren, like Qiao Bazhi and the others, looked at Ye Fan with shock, his mind filled with this question.

"Why didn't you sneak attack?"

Shortly after, before Wu Ren could figure it out, Ye Fan spoke again, his voice sounding distant yet close.

As he spoke, he appeared!

Ye Fan, like a ghost, silently appeared in front of Wu Ren, as if questioning him.

Whoosh!

Looking at Ye Fan's face so close, Wu Ren, as if seeing a ghost, his face changed in fear, instinctively swinging his dagger in a defensive move.

However—

When Wu Ren's dagger was halfway out, Ye Fan's right hand suddenly shot out, clamping Wu Ren's neck like a steel clamp, lifting him up as if he were a chicken!

The sudden change filled Wu Ren with fear, and he wisely abandoned his attack.

Because... he had a thousand reasons to believe that if Ye Fan wanted to, he could crush his throat and send him to the underworld to discuss life before Wu Ren could stab him!

"I remember you said you would peel my skin, extract my tendons, break my bones, and kick my head like a ball, right?" Ye Fan asked calmly, closely observing Wu Ren's face, which was distorted with fear.

"Ugh..."

No answer, unable to answer, Wu Ren could only make a sound like a drake, but... the wildly jumping muscles around his eyes showed how terrified he was!

In his eyes, Ye Fan at this moment seemed like a demon from the depths of hell!

"Don't worry, I don't have the time to torture you. I'll just let some blood," Ye Fan said calmly, his left hand slowly grabbing Wu Ren's dagger-wielding right hand and gently twisting it.

"Crack—"

With a twist, a crisp sound was heard, and Wu Ren's wrist was instantly broken, the black dagger falling into Ye Fan's hand.

Whoosh!

With the dagger in hand, Ye Fan did not hesitate, slashing out with a single cut!

Pfft—

With one cut, Wu Ren's artery was severed, and the hot blood, due to the high blood pressure, spurted out like a high-pressure water gun.

At the same time, Ye Fan did not stop, throwing Wu Ren away with his right hand as if discarding trash.

"Whoosh—"

Seeing this, whether it was Qiao Bazhi, Liu Qin, and the four members of the Nanqing Honghu Branch, or Zhang Zhu and Qu Feng, they all couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

Wu Ren, like a madman, tried to cover his wound with trembling hands, attempting to stop the blood flow, but... it was futile, and he could only watch as his blood and life drained away...

"Next!"

Ye Fan spoke again, his tone still light, but... it made Qiao Bazhi and the others' faces change drastically!

No one answered.

Everyone took a step back.

The scene froze at this moment.
