As they had expected.
A burst of intense, blinding light erupted before them once more.
As the light dissipated, two figures appeared within everyone's sight.
Upon clearly seeing their faces, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Ling Fan had emerged!
This instigator, this madman who had made enemies everywhere, had finally appeared.
Huh.
There was another person beside him.
Who was it?
Liu Ke!
Upon clearly seeing Liu Ke's appearance, countless experts from Xing Sha City were in an uproar.
Hadn't Liu Ke gone missing in the ruins three years ago? Everyone in Xing Sha City, including the Liu family, had believed Liu Ke to be doomed.
Unexpectedly, Ling Fan had brought him out alive today!
On the Liu family's side, Liu Yubei and Liu Xiwei's eyes shot out with expressions of both surprise and joy.
Excellent!
Liu Ke was alive.
The worries that had weighed on their hearts were finally lifted.
Even Liu Xiran, kneeling on the ground, cried tears of joy.
Ding Chunxiu tilted his head, looking down at Ling Fan with disdain. "You must be that Ling Fan. As expected, you don't have a trace of cultivation. A useless person like you holding the Blood Spirit Fruit is simply a waste. Hand over the Blood Spirit Fruit quickly!"
Ling Fan didn't even bother to acknowledge Ding Chunxiu.
As soon as he exited the ruins, he saw Liang Hutu being trampled on the ground.
And Ji Hong, kneeling on the ground, practically a bloodied mess, along with Liu Xiran, who was also kneeling!
A trace of chill instantly spread out.
Ling Fan asked in a cold voice, "What is going on here?"
Ding Chunxiu sneered and remained silent.
Xiong Kuang covered his face, his eyes filled with a perverse sense of pleasure, and shouted, "Ling, you're dead! This is Elder Luo Su, the Enforcement Elder of Mi Yun Mountain! This is Elder Liao Wu, the Enforcement Elder of Qi Xing Cave! And this is Patriarch Ding Chunxiu of the Ding family, a prominent family in Tian Chu Province!"
"Your loyal dog, Liang Hutu, has been beaten into a half-dead dog! I'd like to see how you can still jump around now, you arrogant punk!"
Xiong Kuang laughed heartily. Beside him, Xiong Daying and Xiong Fei also wore smug smiles.
The Xiong family had suffered the most at Ling Fan's hands.
Therefore, seeing Ling Fan's downfall, they were the happiest.
On the Liu family's side.
Liu Xiwei saw that her elder brother was safe, and a stone in her heart finally landed.
But there was still another stone that hadn't landed.
That was her sister, Liu Xiran, who had been swept into the vortex by Ling Fan.
If Liu Xiran were to suffer any misfortune in the vortex, it would be troublesome!
Thinking of this.
She almost lost her mind and roared at Ling Fan, "Why aren't you quickly handing over that Blood Spirit Fruit? You've already offended enough people, enough for you to die ten, a hundred times. How long are you going to act recklessly? Do you have the capital for such willful behavior!"
"I'm telling you, if you cause any harm to my sister, I will never forgive you!"
Looking at Liu Xiwei, who was like a tigress in fury, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Luo Qi stared at Ling Fan with intense hatred and laughed with satisfaction. "Ling, did you hear Miss Liu's words? Why don't you quickly kneel down and obediently offer the Blood Spirit Fruit! As for your offense to me in the ruins, you should kowtow a hundred times to apologize to me. Perhaps I can spare your dog life, hahaha."
Jiang Yang, Ding Shijie, and a group of other prodigies also laughed and joined in the jeering. "Kneel, apologize! Hurry up!"
They had endured Ling Fan for a long time.
Just thinking of Ling Fan's arrogant demeanor made them feel extremely displeased!
What was he?
Just a live-in son-in-law from a small family in a small place, daring to be more arrogant than them, the top young masters!
They had long wanted to see such a proud person as Ling Fan disgraced and begging on his knees.
It would surely be a spectacular sight.
Xiong Kuang sneered, and Xiong Daying shouted, "He should also kowtow to our Xiong family to apologize! At least a thousand times, until his head bleeds!"
Xiong Fei shrieked, "I also want him to crawl between my legs to wash away the humiliation I suffered at Tian Xin Tower!"
Yun Wanshan also said coldly, "Ling, who killed my son and my brother Yun Qianlang? Why don't you confess truthfully! Otherwise, even if others spare you today, I won't let you leave alive!"
Ling Fan's enemies one by one stepped forward.
Elder Han sighed, "Young Master Ling, this old man advises you to bow your head today! If you hand over the Blood Spirit Fruit to me, the Governor's Mansion is willing to exchange it for other treasures, and I will ensure your safety."
Ling Fan's gaze swept over everyone.
He spoke, "Liu Xiwei, you fear that I will implicate your Liu family, believing that I, Ling Fan, do not have the strength to be arrogant, and you want me to bow my head and admit guilt, is that not so!"
"Xiong Kuang, your Xing Sha City Lord's Mansion thinks it has the opportunity to regain face now, is that not so!"
"Yun Wanshan, you believe you can take this opportunity to avenge Yun Rui and Yun Qianlang, is that not so!"
"Mi Yun Mountain, Qi Xing Cave, Nong family, Ding family, Jiang family, and even your Governor, all believe that I, Ling Fan, am young and easy to bully, and want to force me, Ling Fan, to bow my head and hand over the Blood Spirit Fruit, is that not so!"
"Heh heh."
Ling Fan suddenly chuckled.
"A mere group of ants dares to demand that a celestial being bow his head!"
Ling Fan's gaze instantly became indifferent, and an indescribable lofty aura rose from him, as if reaching the heavens.
Like a giant dragon in the sky looking down upon the ants of the world.
"Celestial beings bowing their heads, can you afford it!"
Ling Fan chuckled lightly.
"Utterly arrogant! You, a mere waste, dare to compare yourself to a celestial being? What audacious talk."
Ding Chunxiu said angrily.
"Patriarch Ding, why are we still wasting words with this useless person? Let me, Old Xiong, break his limbs first and pull out his tongue. Let's see if he still dares to speak such wild words!"
Xiong Kuang grinned sinisterly and reached out to grab Ling Fan's limbs.
He prepared to break Ling Fan's limbs one by one.
His palm was like an eagle's claw, martial qi flowing. If it landed firmly, let alone human bones, even top-grade mortal weapons could be snapped.
The faces of the strong experts were filled with cold smiles, as if they saw Ling Fan's limbs being broken and him writhing on the ground in pain.
Crackling.
A series of dense bone-cracking sounds rang out.
However, it was not Ling Fan's bones that cracked.
It was Xiong Kuang!
In the stunned gaze of everyone, Ling Fan's body was enveloped in the light of the Five Elements True Qi, like an immortal descending to the mortal world. Xiong Kuang grabbed him, and his two hands were instantly repelled and bent back in a bizarre manner, with bloody white bone fragments piercing out from his elbows.
The pain contorted Xiong Kuang's entire old face!
His expression was filled with extreme shock.
"How is this possible!"
Looking at Ling Fan, who was enveloped in True Qi light, all the onlookers gasped, as if struck by lightning, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Wasn't Ling Fan a waste?
Not only did he not have his limbs broken by Xiong Kuang, but he had instead shattered Xiong Kuang's arms!
One must know that Xiong Kuang was a martial expert at the peak of the late Xuan Gang realm!
"He's not a waste, he's actually a martial expert!"
After a brief silence, someone said with a trembling voice.
This single sentence immediately broke the calm.
Boom!
The entire venue exploded!
