Chapter 429 The Show Begins!
“Is there anyone else who dares to challenge me, regardless of age or identity?”
After Chen Luo asked this question, a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
One man defeating forty of Huaibei’s elite young fighters with a single hand!
Who would not submit? Who would dare not submit!?
The gap was simply too great!
Chen Luo stood on the fighting platform, his gaze sharp, his expression proud.
The way people looked at Chen Luo was no longer just shock, but now mixed with fear!
With such a formidable person present, who would dare offend the Chen family in the future!?
The Chen family members in the back showed expressions of joy, and the Chen patriarch finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the judges’ table, Zhao Jidao’s gaze toward Chen Luo grew increasingly intense.
“No one wants to come up?” Chen Luo swept his gaze across the front, revealing a cold and contemptuous smile.
In his previous life, he had cultivated to the Divine Transformation realm with extraordinary power, but he wasn’t outstanding enough to stand at the peak of a region.
But in this life, though only at the Yuan Ying stage, he already stood at the pinnacle!
He despised these insects before him.
However, he enjoyed the thrill of conquest.
He liked seeing others’ fear, liked seeing others’ submission.
As a reincarnator, he was certain he was a child of destiny.
“In this life, I will become truly supreme! No one can stop me!” A wild madness flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes.
…
In the banquet hall, Fang Yu wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up.
Qin Lang’s expression changed.
It seemed Fang Yu was about to make his move.
Seeing Fang Yu stand up, Zhao Xuan asked, “Young Master Fang, where are you going?”
“I heard Chen Luo is handsome, but I can’t see clearly from here, so I’m going closer to look,” Fang Yu said.
“Huh?” Zhao Xuan was stunned, not expecting Fang Yu to be interested in another man’s appearance.
Before he could speak, Fang Yu had already walked toward the fighting platform.
Qin Lang followed behind Fang Yu, also leaving the banquet hall.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan recalled what Fang Yu had told him earlier.
After today, Chen Luo probably wouldn’t be able to marry…
What exactly did Young Master Fang intend to do?
“Zinan, shall we go take a look too?” Zhao Xuan asked Zhao Zinan beside him.
“No, I don’t want to see Chen Luo, I don’t want to get married…” Zhao Zinan’s face was written with refusal.
“Chen Luo doesn’t even know who you are yet! Don’t worry, we’ll just go look for a moment and then leave.”
Zhao Zinan was completely unwilling, but was still forcibly pulled up by Zhao Xuan as they headed toward the fighting platform.
…
Chen Luo looked at the silent crowd, turned his head, and expressionlessly faced the judges’ table.
Zhao Jidao shuddered, immediately stood up, and amplified his voice with true qi: “Ahem… since all forty contestants have fallen, I declare the winner of this martial arts tournament to be…”
Zhao Jidao was about to call out Chen Luo’s name.
At this moment, Chen Luo suddenly raised his left hand.
Zhao Jidao’s expression changed, and he immediately fell silent.
Chen Luo suddenly turned his head, looking in another direction, his lips curling into a cold smile.
“You came after all.”
The crowd below was stunned, following Chen Luo’s gaze to the side.
They saw a young man dressed in a plain shirt walking slowly toward the fighting platform.
Upon seeing this young man’s appearance, many people’s expressions instantly changed.
Fang Yu!
The Fang Yu who killed Zheng Yan and caused the collapse of the deeply-rooted Zheng family in a single day!
He actually came!
“Who is that…”
On the other side, the Chen family members stared at Fang Yu with puzzled expressions.
“That’s Fang Yu!” Chen Nansheng’s expression slightly changed as he said gravely.
Beside him, Chen Yi trembled upon seeing Fang Yu appear.
He had developed a psychological shadow regarding this person.
“Fang Yu!? Is he the one who did that to the Zheng family…”
“Yes, Chen Yi and I witnessed it with our own eyes,” Chen Nansheng said with a heavy tone.
“Why is he here? What does he want!?” Lu Wanrong asked urgently, her face pale.
No one answered her question.
Because the answer was already obvious.
By now, Fang Yu had walked to the front of the fighting platform and leaped up.
Two seconds later, he stood on the platform, two or three meters away from Chen Luo.
“Chairman Zhao… Fang Yu is here,” the black-robed elder at the judges’ table said to Zhao Jidao beside him, his face shocked.
“Fang Yu…”
Zhao Jidao hadn’t attended the Zheng family banquet back then, so he hadn’t personally witnessed Fang Yu defeating Zheng Yan and destroying the Zheng family with his own power.
But he had heard about this incident, heard this name.
He just never expected Fang Yu would appear today!
“Holy… Young Master Fang really went up to the fighting platform.” Zhao Xuan stared at Fang Yu’s figure on the platform, dumbfounded.
“Brother… isn’t that Chen Luo very powerful? Why would Master Fang still go up there?” Zhao Zinan asked softly, tugging at Zhao Xuan’s sleeve.
“Well… who knows, let’s go.” Zhao Xuan spotted Qin Lang behind the crowd and walked over.
…
“Fang Yu, you’re a bit late,” Chen Luo said, looking at Fang Yu in front of him.
“No, I’ve been sitting in the banquet hall watching your performance all along,” Fang Yu said. “I must say, your family’s food tastes quite good.”
Chen Luo’s cold eyes narrowed.
So Fang Yu had arrived early, and he hadn’t even noticed!
“Defeating forty masters with one hand, quite impressive,” Fang Yu said.
Chen Luo shook his head and said coldly, “Since you could defeat Zheng Yan, you should understand that those forty people were mere insects.”
“You should have come up earlier, I was bored.”
“Oh? You know I can defeat Zheng Yan, yet you’re still so confident?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
Chen Luo’s lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes looking down as he said, “You’ll soon know how great the gap is between me and Zheng Yan.”
“Boom!”
As he spoke, a burst of aura suddenly exploded from Chen Luo’s body!
Powerful waves of energy spread in all directions!
The crowd below erupted in exclamations!
People standing close were directly blown away by this wave of energy!
The tables at the nearby judges’ platform instantly shattered!
“Form the array immediately, but don’t get too close, stay about thirty meters away!” Zhao Jidao urgently ordered.
The four elders acknowledged and rushed out, standing at four positions thirty meters from the fighting platform, forming an array!
A light screen appeared, covering an area of thirty meters around the fighting platform.
After this protective barrier appeared, the observing crowd felt the pressure in the air lessen considerably.
The group that had been blown away struggled to stand up.
On the fighting platform, Chen Luo stood in place, his body surrounded by faint black energy, accompanied by threads of lightning.
At this moment, Chen Luo’s aura was more than twice as powerful as when he first appeared!
He hadn’t even made a move yet, but just standing there put immense pressure on the four elders maintaining the array!
“Young Master Qin… why did Young Master Fang go looking for trouble with Chen Luo?” Zhao Xuan asked Qin Lang beside him.
Qin Lang couldn’t explain the reason, as Fang Yu hadn’t mentioned it.
But he guessed it was probably a strong person’s mentality.
Strong individuals always like to challenge other strong ones, otherwise they feel bored.
However, saying this to Zhao Xuan wouldn’t make him understand.
“To prevent your sister from being married off,” Qin Lang said, glancing at Zhao Zinan hiding behind Zhao Xuan.
“What!?” Zhao Xuan was stunned, then understood Qin Lang’s meaning.
Could it be… Fang Yu had taken a liking to his sister Zhao Zinan?
But in the banquet hall earlier, it wasn’t apparent at all!
Zhao Zinan was so beautiful, yet Fang Yu barely looked at her!
Could he be shy?
Yes! That must be it!
Otherwise, it’s hard to explain Qin Lang’s words!
Hearing Qin Lang’s words, Zhao Zinan’s heart trembled. She looked up at Fang Yu’s figure on the fighting platform, her clear eyes shining with worry.
Qin Lang didn’t know that his casual remark would forever change a girl’s heart!
“Does… Young Master Fang have confidence?” Zhao Xuan didn’t know what to say.
“Since Master Fang stepped onto the platform, he naturally has confidence. Don’t you know about the Zheng family…” Qin Lang frowned.
“Zheng family?” Zhao Xuan was confused.
Although he was born into the Zhao family, he didn’t really care about the martial arts world, usually only immersed in his pursuit of women.
“Never mind, no need for me to explain. You’ll understand soon, just watch,” Qin Lang said.
…
On a distant pavilion, Han Qi stared at the two figures on the fighting platform, a cold smile spreading across his face.
“The good show is finally about to begin.”
