Super War God in the City

Lei Yao's heart skipped a beat, then immediately swelled with joy. In the past, faced with Yu Xinghai's full-powered strike, she would inevitably need to evade its edge, how could she ever catch it with such ease!

With her heart steadied, the fighting spirit in her eyes grew stronger. She dreamt every day of defeating Yu Xinghai, and now that she saw hope, she wielded the Mysterious Iron Sword with vigor, engaging in a fierce battle with Yu Xinghai.

Ling Fan watched with an expression that seemed to say he had expected it all along and nodded to himself in approval.

Bei Rushuang's eyes widened, filled with excitement and glee. She remembered Ling Fan saying the day before that even Cao Teng was no match for her now. Her hand on the hilt of her sword, she glanced at Cao Teng, itching to try her skills!

At the side, Cao Teng was dumbfounded. Before, he had seen his master easily thrash Lei Yao. How come today he couldn't take her down after so long?

In the midst of the fight, Yu Xinghai grew increasingly alarmed, his mind becoming somewhat muddled. In the past, he would defeat Lei Yao within ten moves, but today, after dozens of moves, she showed no sign of weakness. Instead, she fought more fiercely as the battle dragged on, eventually even he began to fall behind!

After another ten moves, Lei Yao completely suppressed Yu Xinghai. She seized an opening and with a swift flick of her sword tip, she shouted, "Release!"

Yu Xinghai's long sword was suddenly flicked away, and his wrist was sharply tapped by the sword tip.

Yu Xinghai leaped out of the fray, his color draining from his face. A moment's hesitation and his tendons might have been severed. Deep down, he knew Lei Yao had held back!

Lei Yao, defeating Yu Xinghai with a single move, felt an incomparable sense of exhilaration and was thoroughly convinced of Ling Fan's capabilities!

"Elder Yu, Ling Fan is the Guest Official Protector appointed by the Family Head. What do you think you're doing?" Lei Yao glanced at the shocked Yu Xinghai and said coldly.

Yu Xinghai's face flushed red, unable to comprehend how Lei Yao's swordsmanship had advanced so much in just a few days. Could it have something to do with the young man behind her?

He came here to hold someone accountable, but that was predicated on the strength of his own fist. Now that not even Lei Yao was his match, and he was weaker than another, there was no point in accusing anyone!

His face darkened, he said morosely, "That kid injured my disciple. Even if I take this to the Family Head, I have my reasons. If he doesn't give me an explanation today, don't expect this to end well!"

Now that Lei Yao saw great improvement in her own strength, her heart rejoiced. She stood her ground against Yu Xinghai, determined to protect Ling Fan.

"Clearly, it was your disciple who was unreasonable first. I saw it with my own eyes. Even if Ling Fan injured Cao Teng, he was justified. I can testify to the Family Head!" Lei Yao declared, glaring at Yu Xinghai with a cold huff.

At her side, Cao Teng felt a maddening itch in his teeth, "You wench, actually siding with that kid. Just wait and see how my master deals with you later!"

Yu Xinghai was not accustomed to taking such a loss. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The Elders' Chamber is not to be trifled with. To insult my disciple like this and just let it go? Then I, Yu Xinghai, do not deserve to be the Chief Elder!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao's expression slightly changed. Yu Xinghai held a special position within the Qiao Family; even Qiao Yuchan had some concerns about him, mainly because he controlled a large number of the family's common elders.

Not to mention anything else, if he were to leave the Qiao Family, it would be a devastating loss. Should internal strife arise, it would undoubtedly deeply wound the family's vital energy!

Seeing Lei Yao fall silent, Yu Xinghai felt bolstered.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to mock, suddenly, Ling Fan stepped past Lei Yao and said indifferently, "Ask your stupid disciple, even if I apologized, would he dare to accept it?"

Upon these words, a hush fell over the courtyard.

Yu Xinghai's eyes bulged, staring at Ling Fan in disbelief. He had seen the arrogant, but never this level of arrogance.

Cao Teng's face turned red with rage. Ling Fan's words were a blatant insult. He wasn't taking him seriously at all.

Any young man with a bit of blood in his veins would explode in anger, especially in front of two beautiful women and his master. If he cowered now, how could he ever show his face again?

Without waiting for Yu Xinghai to speak, Cao Teng's face turned iron blue as he stood up.

He glared at Ling Fan with hatred and said, "If you have the guts to apologize today, just see if I don't accept it!"

He wasn't just acting in the heat of the moment. In front of his master and Protector Lei, he absolutely didn't believe Ling Fan would dare to do anything to him!

Ling Fan stood with his hands behind his back, let out a snort of derision, and then circled around Cao Teng, causing him to bristle with discomfort.

Then, with a smile, Ling Fan stepped closer to Cao Teng, "You really got the nerve to accept my apology?"

Cao Teng met Ling Fan's gaze, and although somewhat apprehensive, he still bravely said, "You just try and see if I don't accept it!"

Lei Yao, always on guard against Yu Xinghai, had some doubts in her heart, but she believed that Ling Fan, considering Qiao Yuchan's face, wouldn't go to extremes, so she wasn't too worried that Ling Fan would really do anything grievous to Cao Teng.

At most, he would teach him a small lesson. Yu Xinghai harbored the same thought, believing that if Ling Fan dared to deal with Cao Teng in front of him, he would have caught Ling Fan red-handed and would inevitably seek justice from Qiao Yuchan afterward.

Bei Rushuang stood to the side, her eyes flashing with excitement. Before, she couldn't best him and could only feel aggrieved inwardly. Now she was curious about how Ling Fan would teach Cao Teng a lesson.

If he could punch him like he did yesterday, that would be extremely satisfying. However, she guessed that Ling Fan probably wouldn't be so reckless again!

But as that thought crossed her mind, she saw the corners of Ling Fan's mouth lift, and he suddenly struck out, landing a punch right in Cao Teng's dantian.

"Bang!"

With a loud explosion, Cao Teng, caught off guard, flew backward like a cannonball, overturned a stone pillar, spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then passed out.

"Damn it, I warned you yesterday not to take my words for a fart; you still dare to bring trouble to my doorstep? Fuck, if there's a next time, I'll take your damned life!" Ling Fan snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

Bei Rushuang was stunned, and even Lei Yao at her side was shocked.

"He... he got beaten up again?" Lei Yao and her fellow disciples exchanged a look of utter disbelief.

Yu Xinghai was dazed for a moment, then hurriedly rushed to the unconscious Cao Teng, helped him up, checked his pulse, and his face immediately turned ashen.

His eyes bloodshot, he glared at Ling Fan, teeth clenched in fury, enunciating every word, "You... you've destroyed his dantian?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yao and her fellow disciples trembled violently, their eyes widened in horror as they looked at Ling Fan.

This was too damn ruthless, not only had he struck in the presence of Yu Xinghai, but he'd actually completely ruined his cultivation!

Lei Yao felt her heart spasming, realizing how utterly fearless Ling Fan was, daring enough to pierce the heavens. She recognized that she didn't understand this young man at all.

"What's the matter, you seem very dissatisfied? Would you prefer I kill him outright?" Ling Fan glanced at Yu Xinghai casually.

"I warned him yesterday that if he didn't know his place and crossed me again, I would end him. Today is the last warning; next time, he might as well be ready to be reborn!"

Yu Xinghai was fuming, almost as if smoke were billowing from his seven orifices; he looked like he could breathe fire. Destroying Cao Teng's dantian was practically no different from killing him; even if he lived, he'd be a cripple!

"If one does not offend me, I do not offend. If you wish to avenge your disciple, just come at me. If you can't beat me, you better be prepared to die!" Ling Fan took a bold step forward, pointed at Yu Xinghai, and coldly shouted.
