Jin Wudao’s eyes narrowed.
Lan Xueyi was already someone he was determined to have, and this good-for-nothing Ling Fan dared to hold her!
The other Lan family members stared in astonishment as Ling Fan stepped forward, unsure what embarrassing act this good-for-nothing was about to commit.
On the viewing platform, all the spectators were very surprised.
This good-for-nothing Ling Fan had actually stepped out at this moment of life and death.
But what use was it for him to step out? Could his meager abilities possibly turn the tide?
“Haha, how rare! Young Master Ling wants to be a savior!”
“Heh, who does he think he is? Overestimating himself.”
“Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn’t help, let alone a useless piece of trash.”
“If he can save the Lan family, I’ll immediately perform a handstand and eat shit!”
Many people scoffed, waiting to see Ling Fan make a fool of himself as if watching a joke.
Under so many watchful eyes, Lan Xueyi’s face flushed slightly as she struggled free and said, “You, quickly retreat. This is not a problem you can solve!”
Lan Tianxiong also changed his expression slightly and said, “Don’t fool around, Xiao Fan.”
Lan Junjie stared at Ling Fan’s back with wide eyes.
Although he had no hope for Ling Fan, at least he had stood up like a man today, so he swallowed all the insults he had intended to spew.
Only Li Huimei said sternly, “You think you can stop this? Xueyi is no longer your woman, you good-for-nothing. She is now a member of the Jin family, Jin Wudao’s woman!”
Ling Fan suddenly turned back with disgust, casting a cold glance at Li Huimei.
Li Huimei suddenly shivered.
She had never seen such a cold and terrifying gaze on Ling Fan before.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent.
They were all waiting to see what Ling Fan intended to do.
Ling Fan retracted his gaze, his eyes sweeping over Jin Wudao, Jin Dazhi, Master Zheng, and the master and disciple Wu Yunfeng, finally landing on Hu Hao.
Hu Hao frowned slightly.
Others might not know, but he did.
Ling Fan was a top craftsman!
Judging solely by the weapon set he had forged, even Wu Yunfeng might not be Ling Fan’s match.
However…
It was too late for him to step forward now, because the Lan family had already lost, and that was a foregone conclusion.
“The Lan family has lost. Ling Fan, what else can you do?”
Hu Hao said with a half-smile.
“Who says the Lan family has lost? Did I agree to that?”
Ling Fan spoke calmly, released Lan Xueyi, said, “Wait for me,” and then walked towards Hu Hao on the high platform.
Everyone’s gaze immediately followed him.
“Hahaha, are you trying to make me die of laughter, you good-for-nothing? Does your agreement matter? Who do you think you are!”
Jin Wudao burst into laughter.
Many spectators also let out mocking laughter, laughing at Ling Fan’s overestimation of his abilities.
Even many members of the Lan family felt their faces burn with shame, finding it embarrassing.
Amidst the laughter, Ling Fan had already reached Hu Hao.
His gaze fell on the long sword in Hu Hao’s hand.
This was the treasure sword forged by Wu Yunfeng, a top-tier mortal weapon. It had just snapped the treasure saber forged by Li Shan and Lan Xueyi together. In everyone’s eyes, this sword was already the undisputed strongest mortal weapon below the Yellow-tier spiritual weapons!
“You tampered with it. Otherwise, this sword would have broken, not that saber. Therefore, the Lan family should have won, not the Jin family.”
Ling Fan’s face was as calm as a tranquil lake, his voice indifferent, speaking neither hastily nor slowly.
“Tch, who the hell do you think you are? If you say the Lan family won, then they won.”
The Jin family members said disdainfully.
“This is utter nonsense. Everyone was watching. Do you mean all these people here are blind?”
“Stop spouting rubbish! How dare you slander someone from the Armament Masters Association! Are you trying to court death?”
The people from the Armament Masters Association were enraged.
Lan Xueyi stared blankly at Ling Fan’s back.
He was now standing against everyone for her, risking everything!
She couldn’t help but worry about Ling Fan’s safety.
Only Hu Hao was slightly startled.
His actions were so subtle, how could Ling Fan have discovered them?
However, he quickly calmed himself, because he knew Ling Fan had no evidence.
Would everyone choose to believe a good-for-nothing, or would they believe him, a genius armament master and a proud disciple of Master Wang!
There was no need to even think about it; of course, they would believe him.
“Hmph, if you can’t produce any evidence, then just for slandering me, I can kill you, and no one will dare to object! If you immediately kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might spare your dog’s life.”
Hu Hao said with a sneer.
He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Ling Fan, “I was the one who tampered with it. What can you do to me? Heh heh, your woman is about to be given to Jin Wudao as a concubine. I’ll take her to play with another day.”
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Fan playfully.
Such words were undoubtedly the greatest insult to a man.
He said this to provoke Ling Fan. As long as Ling Fan couldn’t help but make a move, he would kill Ling Fan with lightning speed to eliminate any future trouble.
After all, he was a Qi Refining realm expert. Killing a good-for-nothing who couldn’t even lift a chicken was as easy as flipping his hand!
However, Ling Fan did not get angry.
Only a cold glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
“You want proof? Then I’ll prove it to you!”
Ling Fan looked around and said, “Wu Yunfeng’s so-called top-tier mortal weapon is merely a facade. In reality, it’s worse than the most ordinary sword weapon, just trash. Any weapon can cut it.”
As soon as he said this, the entire venue was shocked.
Disbelief was written on everyone’s faces.
That was a top-tier mortal weapon, and that silver pattern was absolutely genuine!
Yet, this good-for-nothing Ling Fan suddenly jumped out and declared Wu Yunfeng’s sword to be trash.
Where did he get such courage?
Wu Yunfeng laughed in extreme anger!
Ling Fan, this good-for-nothing, dared to call his forged weapon trash, which he felt was a great humiliation.
“If you can’t cut my sword later, I will use it to dig out your eyeballs,” Wu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said word by word.
“Hmph.”
Ling Fan snorted coldly.
“Who can lend me a weapon? The most ordinary weapon will do.”
Ling Fan, with his hands behind his back, asked the spectators on the viewing platform.
“I have a mid-grade mortal weapon, is that okay?” a martial artist asked with a smile.
Ling Fan shook his head.
“Then what about a low-grade mortal weapon?” another martial artist asked with a smile.
Ling Fan still shook his head, as if he felt that even a low-grade mortal weapon was too strong for Wu Yunfeng’s sword.
“How about my pig-slaughtering knife!”
At this moment, a fat pig butcher stood up and said. He had rushed over to watch the weapon duel after slaughtering pigs, still carrying a blood-stained pig-slaughtering knife that hadn’t been sharpened in who knows how long.
“Excellent!”
Ling Fan nodded.
“Hahahaha.”
The entire venue erupted in laughter.
Wu Yunfeng’s anger intensified.
Even Hu Hao’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
What did this fellow named Ling mean?
He was actually comparing a pig-slaughtering knife to the top-tier mortal weapon forged by Wu Yunfeng.
It was simply absurd and infuriating!
But Ling Fan seemed not to see their anger. He took the pig-slaughtering knife, and with his other hand, held Wu Yunfeng’s forged treasure sword.
All eyes in the venue immediately converged on his hands.
Few people truly believed that Ling Fan could cut Wu Yunfeng’s treasure sword with an ordinary pig-slaughtering knife. They just wanted to see Ling Fan make a fool of himself.
The Jin family members, especially Jin Wudao, wore expressions of disdainful cold smiles.
As for the Lan family members, many had already covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Lan Xueyi also raised her head slightly and closed her eyes. Only her trembling eyelashes revealed that her heart was not calm at this moment.
Ling Fan raised the pig-slaughtering knife and swung it down!
The entire venue watched, holding their breath.
