Opportunity is something.
In front of Chu Fan, there is always only one chance.
Huang Yue’s opportunity has been used up. Not cherishing it, she can only bear the consequences with death.
Huang Ming lay on the ground, struggling to move.
Previously, he had said he would cripple Chu Fan’s limbs.
Chu Fan, with his own words, crippled Huang Ming’s limbs, turning him into a complete cripple.
At this moment, terror, regret, and despair intertwined in Huang Ming’s eyes.
He thought that with his half-step Grandmaster cultivation, defeating Chu Fan would be as easy as lifting a finger.
Unexpectedly, he had been careless.
The opponent wasn’t a mere Master, but a Grandmaster a hundred times stronger than himself.
The gap between a half-step Grandmaster and a Grandmaster, though only half a step, was an insurmountable chasm.
Recalling his earlier boasts, Huang Ming couldn’t help but laugh at himself.
So, it turned out he was the clown all along.
Chu Fan walked back to Huang Ming’s side, looking down at him with a cold gaze.
“I only give people one chance!”
“Your worthless brother, I already gave him a chance. He didn’t cherish it, so he died!”
“As for you, I will still give you a chance, after all, we have no life-or-death enmity!”
“If you are not convinced, I can give you time to call your family.”
Calling his family, would they be a match for the person in front of him?
Huang Ming had indeed considered this.
He had.
He was rather sensible and knew clearly that calling more family members would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot – futile and meaningless.
After all, his father was also only a half-step Grandmaster, no match for the person before him.
Therefore, it was better to be discreet.
“I admit defeat, as I am not as skilled!”
“The Huang family will no longer bother you!”
“Very well!”
Chu Fan nodded. “However, if you wish to cause trouble, I am in Shan Hai City, residing at Shan Hai Pavilion. If your family wishes to seek revenge, they can come to my doorstep anytime!”
“But once you come, don’t expect to leave.”
These words, spoken calmly, carried invisible barbs.
The insult was subtle yet substantial.
In his long life, this was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant person.
Huang Ming felt a surge of humiliation, but he could not unleash it.
However, thinking of Chu Fan’s prowess, he couldn’t bring himself to hate him.
He had sought trouble with the man first, and if he was outmatched, how could he hate him?
He could only blame his son for being too impetuous, ignorant of the vastness beyond the heavens and the existence of greater men.
On the way back, Chu Fan instructed Ji Ningyue, “After we return, find two half-step Grandmasters to guard the noodle shop and protect Zhao Hongbo until death.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The Huang family in Qilin City.
An elder with white hair but a spirited face, showing no signs of old age, rushed into the house from outside.
Looking at the corpse of Huang Yue, which had long gone stiff, and then at Huang Ming, who sat in a wheelchair, completely crippled, Huang Shengtian let out a roar.
“Ah…”
Bang bang…
The expensive vases and other items in the house all shattered.
The Huang family members clutched their ears in pain.
“Ming’er, who was it?”
Huang Shengtian’s bloodshot eyes fixed on Huang Ming.
His entire body trembled with excessive emotion.
Of his two sons, Huang Yue was an illegitimate child. Due to his status, he had left the Huang family from a young age to establish himself independently.
However, the Huang family had always been Huang Yue’s backing. Those who knew this relationship dared not touch Huang Yue.
Under the shelter of a tall tree, one could enjoy much shade.
Huang Yue subsequently became extremely arrogant and willful, bullying whomever he pleased in Qilin City.
Even the wicked are eventually brought to justice.
Encountering Chu Fan, even with his opportunities, he could not escape death.
Huang Yue, who had done many bad deeds and was of no value, was dead. While Huang Shengtian was saddened, he was not the most grieved.
His greatest sorrow was Huang Ming’s crippling.
Huang Ming had good aptitude. Before the age of forty, he had already reached the half-step Grandmaster realm.
According to predictions, he would definitely become a Grandmaster before sixty, leading the Huang family to become the foremost family in Qilin City.
In simpler terms, Huang Ming was the future of the Huang family.
Who could have foreseen that fate’s hand would strike, and no one could stop it?
Reality had dealt the Huang family a heavy blow, completely extinguishing their hope of rising.
With the death of his illegitimate son and the shattering of the Huang family’s hopes for advancement, Huang Shengtian, the leader of the Huang family, was overwhelmed with unbearable rage.
“Father, don’t seek revenge. He is a Grandmaster. If we continue to trouble him, we will only suffer greater misfortune!”
Having completely accepted reality, Huang Ming’s mind was still clear. He had carefully considered the consequences of further provoking Chu Fan.
“Tell me!”
“Who is he!”
His roar shook the entire house.
At this moment, the aura around Huang Shengtian drastically changed.
A vast pressure descended.
The Huang family members, who were painfully standing in the house, all knelt under the oppressive pressure.
Although Huang Ming was in his wheelchair, the wheels beneath him creaked under an unbearable load.
The kneeling Huang family members and Huang Ming looked at Huang Shengtian with surging excitement and joy in their eyes.
The Huang family’s hope was not yet extinguished.
Huang Shengtian, who had been blocked from the Grandmaster realm for over twenty years, had, due to the stimulus, broken through his bottleneck and completely entered the Grandmaster realm.
From this moment onwards, the Huang family became the foremost family in Qilin City.
As Huang Shengtian took a deep breath and reined in his aura, the kneeling Huang family members slowly rose.
“Congratulations, Master, congratulations Master, on finally achieving Grandmaster status.”
“Father…”
Huang Ming’s voice trembled. He was already moved to tears by excitement.
He had thought that provoking Chu Fan would be the Huang family’s doom.
In reality, the Huang family had benefited from misfortune.
Without this intense stimulation, Huang Shengtian would never have reached the Grandmaster realm in his lifetime.
“Ming’er, I am a Grandmaster now, do I still fear him?”
“No, I don’t fear him anymore!”
Huang Ming shook his head excitedly. All his previous worries and thoughts were overturned.
Without a Grandmaster expert, the Huang family could not contend with Chu Fan.
But now that his father had become a Grandmaster, he believed they possessed the strength to confront Chu Fan.
His brother was killed before his eyes, and he himself was crippled, completely losing the chance to become stronger.
To say he felt no hatred would be a lie.
His request to stop the matter and not seek revenge was only out of insufficient strength and self-consolation.
But now, everything had changed.
“Shan Hai City, Shan Hai Pavilion…”
After hearing Chu Fan’s harsh words, Huang Shengtian clenched his fists, his rage causing his robes to flutter in the windless air.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Chu Fan was in a secret chamber, absorbing the dragon脉 power to strengthen his suppression, when he suddenly opened his eyes.
At the same time, at the foot of Shan Hai Pavilion.
Huang Shengtian, carrying a coffin on his shoulder, looked up at the height.
“Kid, come down and die!”
The bodyguards mobilized by Guan Hongyun nearby were sent spitting blood and staggering to the ground by the enraged roar.
“Grandmaster, he is a Grandmaster…”
The bodyguards’ eyes filled with fear, completely losing the will to resist.
They were paid for protection, not to throw away their lives.
Further away from Shan Hai Pavilion, people had been watching, trying to glimpse the true face of the King of Shan Hai.
Huang Shengtian’s action quickly spread outwards.
A Grandmaster carrying a coffin, challenging the King of Shan Hai.
Curious individuals all stirred, rapidly flocking towards Shan Hai Pavilion.
Seeing that Chu Fan did not appear, Huang Shengtian roared again, “Kid, weren’t you very arrogant before?”
“Are you a coward now?”
As the words fell, Chu Fan’s voice echoed from within Shan Hai Pavilion.
“Very good, you’ve even prepared your own coffin!”
“If you want to die, then come up.”
