Chapter 254 - Zhao Ru

Zhao Kongming and the others were terrified.

Chen Fan had easily dismantled their supposedly foolproof plan.

In the span of just ten breaths, more than ten experts from the Yuanfu realm had died.

Crushed overwhelmingly!

Zhao Kongming looked at Chen Fan, his teeth chattering.

“You... how could you be so strong?”

He was roaring furiously inside.

How is Chen Fan this strong?

About half a year ago, when Chen Fan and Chen Zhengqing had wiped out the Lin Clan, Chen Fan was only at the first level of the Yuanfu realm. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Back then, he managed to handle three opponents simultaneously and even outmatched Lin Yao, a second-level Yuanfu realm expert. However, he still wasn’t strong enough to be a threat to Zhao Kongming.

In a little over half a year, Chen Fan's cultivation had unexpectedly soared from the first to the sixth level of the Yuanfu realm. His unmatched combat prowess now instilled fear in others. Zhao Kongming struggled to accept the reality of this rapid transformation.

“It's your weakness that's the issue.” Chen Fan smiled contemptuously and said, “Now, what did you say? You losers want to eradicate my clan and wash it in blood?”

Zhao Kongming and the others were at a loss for words.

They were all top experts in Watermoon City.

He, in particular, was known as the number one expert of Watermoon City. However, before the ferocious and powerful Chen Fan, he was no different from a loser with his puny strength.

Regretful expressions filled the faces of Li Yuanba and the members of the five allied clans.

They would have never aligned themselves with the Zhao Clan if they had known about Chen Fan's true strength.

Forget about eliminating the Chen Clan and Qian Clan to increase their own strength; they were now on the brink of annihilation themselves.

However, Chen Zhengqing’s pupils contracted violently, and he exclaimed, “Zhao Ru!”

“Hmm? It’s you!” Zhao Ru looked over, and his eyes lit up. Astonished, he said, “Chen Zhengqing, it’s you! How is this possible? Wasn’t your primeval vessel damaged? Fourth level? How unexpected! It seems your luck is pretty good. I wonder what kind of opportunity you encountered to restore your primeval vessel and advance a bit further. No, wait, you are actually just a step away from reaching the fifth level!”

Chen Zhengqing and Zhao Ru obviously knew one another; an unusual light flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes.

“How truly unexpected. Seventeen, or is it eighteen years? Anyway, time sure flew by quickly. I never thought I’d see you again here, Chen Zhengqing.” Zhao Ru seemed to be reminiscing. “When we first met in the imperial city, your martial talent was enviable even to me. It wasn’t any lower than that person surnamed Qin, either.”

Suddenly, Zhao Ru’s gaze turned fierce, and he revealed an eerie smile as he said, “If it weren’t for Nangong Yue stopping us, we would have done a lot more than just shattering your primeval vessel.

“Since I met you today, I shall capture you and send you to that person from the Qin Clan. Perhaps it’ll be considered a great merit.”

Zhao Ru glanced at Chen Fan and said, “Oh, this must be your son! Not bad. He’s already at the sixth level at such a young age. He’s even more outstanding than you used to be. I think that person from the Qin Clan will also be very interested!”

Although Chen Fan had previously destroyed the joint attack from Zhao Kongming and twenty-something Yuanfu realm experts, Zhao Ru remained unperturbed, confident in his capabilities.

Chen Zhengqing’s expression became very cold and ugly. “To call you people brothers, I must have been blind back then.”

“Hahahaha!” Zhao Ru burst out laughing upon hearing this. A thick look of disdain appeared in his eyes, and he said, “Chen Zhengqing, back then, your talent was extraordinary. Second only to that person from the Qin Clan, even in the imperial city. However, did you really think that was enough for us to think highly of a country bumpkin like you?

“Every time we called you ‘Brother Chen,’ we felt like dying from disgust on the inside. What qualifications does a peasant like you have to act all buddy-buddy with us? What qualifications do you have to earn the fancy of Nangong Yue?”

Suddenly, killing intent burst forth in Chen Fan’s eyes.

No one was allowed to insult his father!

However, he did not make a move. As he listened to the exchange between Zhao Ru and Chen Zhengqing, he pieced together fragments of the past.

His heart was throbbing.

Chen Fan had grown up without a mother. Chen Zhengqing had single-handedly raised him, assuming the roles of both father and mother.

He had asked Chen Zhengqing about his mother and the damaged primeval vessel. However, Chen Zhengqing had evaded the questions, offering only perfunctory responses.

Now, amid this confrontation, it felt as if he was edging closer to uncovering the truth.
