Chapter 51 - Breaking the Rule

Chapter 51 - Breaking the Rule

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Outer Sect Grand Competition’s second phase began.

“Tenth group, number 74 versus number 345!”

Chen Fan swiftly ascended the fighting arena, followed closely by his opponent. The youth was tall and robust, clad in a black robe. His aura exuded great power, comparable to that of Gu Zhan.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect to face you!” said the youth with an eerie smile.

Sensing the hostility emanating from his opponent, Chen Fan quickly grasped the situation. He responded with a mocking smile. "You must be from the Heaven's Alliance, right?"

“That’s right!”

The youth in black robes didn’t deny it, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips. His cold smile gave off a ferocious vibe as he continued, “Choosing to be our enemy is simply inviting death. You will meet your demise on this path. Every member of our alliance will hunt you to kill you.”

“You want to kill me? You and what army? It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but in my eyes, you’re not much better than the ants on the ground,” Chen Fan replied indifferently, his cold smile unwavering.

Chen Fan was now at the middle stage of the sixth level. Even without utilizing the full power of the Myriad Elephants Divine Art, he could easily defeat his opponent. If he unleashed his full strength, he could tear the man in the black robe apart.

Chen Changfeng and others at the eighth level were Chen Fan’s current opponents. If he had to fight someone seriously, it would be them.

“Such arrogance!”

Chen Fan’s statement made the youth fly into a rage.

“You think defeating Gu Zhan makes you invincible? Unfortunately for you, Gu Zhan is nothing more than trash in my eyes. I can kill him easily. And you are no different. You are just a slightly bigger ant.”

The youth’s tone was cold as he arrogantly belittled Gu Zhan and Chen Fan.

“But Senior Brother Fei Kuang said he’ll take your life personally. Count yourself lucky. If you had fallen into my hands, I would have made you cry before killing you,” said the youth with a venomous glint in his eyes.

“Li Feng, since you encountered him first, you get rid of him. My hands would be soiled if I were to make a move myself. So, you will act on my behalf. But don't let him die too easily. Give him a thorough round of torture first. Understand?” The voice belonged to Fei Kuang, who stood below the arena.

“Since you’ve spoken, Senior Brother Fei Kuang, I’ll take it upon myself to help you eliminate him. Rest assured, Senior Brother, I’ll cut off his tongue first to make it impossible for him to surrender or beg for mercy!”

Li Feng’s expression instantly turned savage.

Boom!

Chen Fan sent out a palm with a flip of his hand, shattering Fei Kuang’s blade qi.

He simultaneously unleashed a primeval qi slash, sharp as a sword. It broke through Li Feng’s defenses, striking between his eyebrows.

“You, you...”

Li Feng instantly stiffened up, looking at Chen Fan in disbelief. He never expected Chen Fan to dispatch him so effortlessly.

“Haah! You’re looking to die!”

The ferocious roar echoed in the area.

A terrifying windstorm appeared around Fei Kuang, his eyes filled with killing intent directed at Chen Fan. He swiftly charged toward Chen Fan, completely disregarding the competition rules.

“Audacious!”

An indignant voice suddenly descended from the skies.

Chen Fan felt the air around him instantly stagnate. Like steel, it seemed capable of squeezing and crushing a person to death.

The air in the area instantly stagnated as if it had turned into a steel cage capable of crushing a person to death. A figure appeared in the fighting arena—it was Grand Elder Su Yuntian. His complexion was grim, and a terrifying coldness emanated from his body.

“You’re too unruly, Fei Kuang. You dare violate the competition rules. You should be punished!” Su Yuntian sounded calm, but everyone could sense the fury within.

At the Outer Sect Grand Competition, no one was allowed to interfere. It was the fundamental rule.

However, Fei Kuang had blatantly disregarded this rule, showing disrespect to the sect. As the presiding officer of the Outer Sect Grand Competition, if such a flagrant violation of the rules went unchecked, what authority would the sect have left to speak of?

Even in the face of Su Yuntian's questioning, Fei Kuang showed no fear. He glared at Su Yuntian with fury and responded coldly, "Grand Elder, this person killed a member of our Heaven's Alliance. He deserves to die!"

“Even if he killed a member of your Heaven’s Alliance, that falls within the boundaries of the rules. Do you think you can ignore the rules just because you’re a member of Heaven’s Alliance!?”

A hint of anger flashed in Su Yuntian’s eyes.

As the Grand Elder of the outer sect, he held high status and authority, not to mention he was a great expert in the Yuanfu realm. He did not expect Fei Kuang to show no fear or remorse when questioned and even use the name of the Heaven's Alliance to threaten him. It was truly outrageous!

“Please calm down, Grand Elder.”

Suddenly, a white silhouette flitted over with a swoosh. It was Zhong Li.

Wearing a faint smile, Zhong Li addressed Su Yuntian, “Please calm down, Grand Elder. Fei Kuang is indeed at fault in this matter and acted impulsively. Please let him off just this once, Grand Elder. If he repeats the same mistake, I will execute him as a warning to others, without requiring any intervention from the Grand Elder.”
