Chapter 671: Transcendent, Donggu Aoun!
Chapter 671: Transcendent, Donggu Aoun!
Ling Fan's gaze was icy as he watched the woman swing a punch at him, a cold laugh echoing in his heart.
Driven mad by Jim's death, Axina had already lost all reason, her actions now purely instinctive.
She was very close to Ling Fan—and driven by instinct—wanted nothing more than to explode his head with a punch to relieve the hatred in her heart.
But she, merely a Grandmaster of the Middle Stage, was only slightly better than Steven. How could she possibly be a match for Ling Fan?
"Bang!"
With no fancy moves, Official Ling showed no mercy or cherishment of beauty as he indifferently struck back with a punch.
In the stupefied stares of the onlookers, Axina's entire arm burst open. She flew backward and slammed into the wall, her arm completely destroyed.
"Hiss~
A calamity of the highest order, an utter calamity, this guy, he actually dared to cripple Axina?" York stood at a distance, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Steven slumped to the ground, leaning against the wall, his face deathly pale; he was truly terrified by this madman's actions.
"Brother, you must come quickly. This guy, he's simply a lunatic!" Steven prayed in silence.
Qiao Yuchan stood quietly to the side, watching the scene unfold before her, feeling as if she had brought trouble upon Ling Fan.
It seemed because of her, Ling Fan had become angry and reckless, killing Jim, clashing with Steven, and now crippling this woman of unknown identity.
Her heart began to struggle again, still angry with Official Ling but also feeling some guilt, caught in a whirlwind of self-torment.
Axina, severely injured on the ground and looking at her missing arm, completely lost her composure.
"You're finished, you're finished. I want you to beg for life but be unable to die. And everyone around you, all of you will face retribution…" Axina muttered deliriously, her eyes hollow.
Being humiliated repeatedly by a Huaxia person, the surrounding onlookers' shame and anger were beyond words.
Jim had been brutally killed, Steven crippled, and now even the Alliance Leader's Lady who came forward was crippled by this man with a single punch. It was an indignity of epic proportions for both the Secular World and the Martial Arts World of Laima Principality.
"If you want revenge, better call your Mike quickly. If he's late, you'll end up just like your brother Jim!" Ling Fan snorted coldly, not as a threat, but stating a fact.
Hearing this, Axina's body jolted with a start, her gaze towards Ling Fan filled with a venomous light.
"Bastard, if you dare, don't leave. I want to see you skinned and deboned!" Axina's face twisted as she spoke.
Earlier, when Jim notified her, she was somewhat uneasy and immediately contacted Mike.
To avoid Ling Fan, Mike was hiding in a very secluded place, not nearby, and would need some time, so she rushed over first.
But no sooner had she arrived on the scene than all this unfolded, leading to a nearly catastrophic reality!
However, it didn't matter. As long as Mike could arrive in time, this fool was certain to meet a bad end. Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon.
At that moment, Mike was crossing mountains and valleys, heading towards Yanbo Island with great speed.
"Damn it, this cursed Jim, always bringing me trouble at critical moments. That damn alliance should have been disbanded long ago.
Axina always protects that idiot. He's useless and only stirs up trouble. Sooner or later, someone will kill him!" Mike muttered curse words, irritated.
Although he was the Head of the Martial Alliance of the Laima Principality, the Principality's standing in the world wasn't very strong.
In Western Europe, where the Underworld operates with mafias and the like, they often crisscross between several countries.
You never know when you might offend someone dangerous, who after killing you, simply vanishes, with you none the wiser as to who ended your life!
Those in the Underworld rely on their own strength, not on connections. He had often warned Axina about this.
But she always thought that on her own turf, there wouldn't be much of a problem and continued to indulge Jim. Mike couldn't really say much.
Talking too much brings tears, and the sequence of crying, causing a scene, and hanging oneself; if it weren't for that woman's good skills, full of liveliness, I would have dismissed her a long time ago!
If this guy knew that Jim had crossed Ling Beiming, I wonder what his feelings would be. He'd probably slap Axina to death!
In the great hall of Yanbo Island,
Alice, who had been standing quietly on the side without making a sound, glanced at Steven not far away and, after a moment of contemplation, said to Ling Fan, "Cousin, you need to watch out for Steven's brother. That guy is a martial arts expert from the Laima Principality.
An awakened Transcendent with Supernatural Power, descended from the former royals of the Martial Arts World!"
Qiao Yuchan, who was standing aside watching the situation unfold, looked at Alice with a complicated expression. She wondered whether this was another cousin of Ling Fan's she was unaware of, or had she misunderstood something?
In fact, the two of them were not related by blood; the nickname was just a casual moniker used to avoid exposing Official Ling's true identity!
Upon hearing Alice's reminder, Ling Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? There are Transcendents in your Laima Principality? How does he compare to Mike?"
Although Alice was also a martial artist, she was a minor character, barely at Fourth Grade.
Her knowledge of the Martial Arts World was limited, although she was somewhat informed due to her status.
"Well, I'm not very clear on that; he should be on a par with him, or perhaps, a bit stronger?" Alice said hesitantly.
Ling Fan nodded slightly, "Hmm, usually only special-bloodline warriors who have entered the Martial Saint Realm are likely to awaken Superior Power.
In the same realm, a Transcendent tends to overwhelmingly suppress ordinary martial artists due to their unique abilities. He should be somewhat stronger than Mike!"
Ling Fan pondered in his heart; this was unexpected. Back when he mingled in the world, he had come across Transcendents. They were somewhat like the Law Cultivation lineage of Xiangjiang, yet not quite the same.
Comparable to Divine Skills and Elemental Force grasped by Martial Artists, but with distinct differences.
After all, the path of martial arts is such that various schools share common ground yet have subtle nuances.
Across the room, Steven, leaning against a wall with a pale face, saw Ling Fan frowning in silence and instantly felt relieved, showing a cold and malicious smile.
"Damn it, I thought you feared nothing in heaven or earth, but it turns out you can be cowed, too!
Fuck, once my big brother arrives, we'll see how he finishes you off. I'll make you pay back a hundredfold for everything you did to me!" Steven cursed coldly in his heart.
His brother, the Transcendent, Donggu Aoun, had always been his eternal idol and spiritual support.
However, compared to his brother's talent, he fell far short and thus wasn't keen on spending too much time on cultivation.
So, riding on his brother Donggu Aoun's reputation, he dabbled in the secular world, fully enjoying life.
On the other side, Axina, lying on the ground in a daze, shuddered at the bottom of her heart.
She had heard Mike mention Steven's Transcendent brother in passing and it seemed that even Mike was no match for him!
Alice, standing to the side, heard Ling Fan's words, implying that the Transcendent was much more powerful than the Head of the Martial Alliance, Mike, which made her worry more.
Not far away, Qiao Yuchan, who knew nothing of Transcendents, could tell from the situation that he was a formidable person not to be trifled with, and concern for Ling Fan arose in her heart as well.
At that moment, Alice couldn't help but suggest to Ling Fan, "Cousin, let's leave for now. We can always deal with those guys another day!"
Her words were a subtle reminder to Ling Fan that if things didn't go well, it would be best to retreat.
As for Hell's Angels, she had made up her mind; if necessary, she would leave the group. That wouldn't matter too much, but under no circumstances could Ling Fan be allowed to encounter any danger here!
The surrounding crowd, hearing their conversation, were instantly electrified. Just a while ago, they thought this guy was single-handedly dominating high rollers from all over; they were under the impression that he was really something special. It turned out he was just putting on airs!
"Fuck, trying to run away? Son of a bitch, I pray for the Great God to arrive promptly; we can't let this guy escape!" someone in the crowd immediately prayed silently.
Perhaps heaven had heard these prayers, as suddenly a thundering voice entered the hall, reverberating throughout.
"Axina, how're things going, is it settled, and who's the big shot causing trouble on my Laima Principality's turf?" Mike's resonant voice approached from outside the door.
