Chapter 590: Kill

Whoosh~

Hundreds of ribbons came at Zhuo Fan and he replied with another sweep as he went for his original target. He didn’t even spare the attacker a glance.

His sweep sent a suction force that got all the ribbons trapped in a quagmire, unable to escape.

In that instant, his broom was covered in ribbons.

Zhuo Fan flicked it and sent a powerful shockwave through them back at Bai Lian, sending her flying.

Like Qi Changlong before her, she coughed up blood as well and paled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhuo Fan twisted his wrist and the ribbons broke apart as he sped towards his quarry. Not once did the attack even make him pause.

Bai Lian was overwhelmed by how useless she felt. The elite area hailed her as one of the strong ones but reality showed there would always be someone out there stronger than her.

[How is he so freaking strong! None of us can match him.]

Lu Xie was dumbstruck, [This laborer is perhaps too monstrous!]

The ‘lucky’ couple shuddered as they shirked backwards while pleading, “Senior brother Lu Xie, w-w-what do we do?”

“D-don’t panic, I’ll use poison to stop him while you run!” Lu Xie was shocked as well but was confident in his poison arts.

Poison was a vile path to tread on, but not without its perks; it excelled in infecting one’s core. [You might have a huge Yuan Qi and a tough body, but poison will destroy you anyway!]

Lu Xie shouted, “Poison Dragon!”

Hu~

A green wind shifted into a dragon as it went for Zhuo Fan. The revolting stench coming from it would send anyone’s mind out of commission.

Chi Feng was overjoyed as he took Yujuan and ran away. Lu Xie grinned.

[He-he-he, let’s see you fight something you can’t touch, freak. Anyone who has ever touched it has died!]

[Even if you can handle it, it’ll at least buy them some time…]

Crack!

With a loud sound, Zhuo Fan smashed the dragon with another broom swing.

It didn’t slow Zhuo Fan down at all as black energy covered his body like a true demon.

The poison got sucked into the blackness and the attack was neutralized in an instant.

Ugh!

Lu Xie was tongue tied as his prized art was rendered worthless.

[Crud, this freak is invincible in every way!]

“Be a good dog and scram!” Zhuo Fan got in his face and swept him out of the way.

Pff!

He did exactly what everyone else had done so far, coughed up blood and turned pale. Though his eyes were filled with shock as he muttered, “How… just how…”

Wu~

A heavy wind pushed Chi Feng from behind, like death had latched onto him. He saw Zhuo Fan right behind him, bearing that creepy smile which froze his blood.

He forced himself to act and pointed with two fingers.

A huge sea of fire shot for Zhuo Fan and Yujuan helped by adding wind to the mix.

Although against Zhuo Fan, they might as well not even try.

Zhuo Fan didn’t even need martial arts to deal with them. A mere sweep is all it took to snuff the flames.

The sweep’s shockwave slammed into the couple’s chest till they coughed up blood again and again.

Their meridians burned from the pain, incapable of using Yuan Qi ever again.

Zhuo Fan made sure of that.

Crack!

Zhuo Fan’s charge stopped at last, right in front of them, bearing over them with his snicker, a god mocking these insignificant ants.

To the two, Zhuo Fan looked like a demon made of flesh.

So many experts tried to stop this monster, but all failed.

Qi Changlong, Bai Lian, Lu Xie, Chi Feng and Yujuan, attacked at the same time yet didn’t even phase him. Zhuo Fan’s power was beyond what their limited psyche could think of.

In just a blink, all of the elites were lying down defeated, from shock and unbridled power.

It was like… like they were fighting an elder or a venerable!

[Right, Sect Leader entrusted him with Elite Labor Office. That’s a duty reserved for elders and venerables. That proves he is no mere disciple.]

[And we just kicked the hornet’s nest by messing with him!]

[He’s got an elder’s power yet is still a disciple. Sect Leader has really done it this time!]

Chi Feng understood it all at death’s door and started crying. Yujuan was too terrified to make a peep and only shook.

Zhuo Fan grinned, “What was it that you said in the Labor Office, that laborers took advantage of you and challenged you? Ha-ha-ha, well here I am challenging you as well, satisfied? Pleased? Content?”

“Bro, we’re sorry!”

Chi Feng bawled like a baby, “Bro, you are at the bottom, a laborer, yet bear outrageous power. With the sect’s rule, you can kill and challenge anyone and nothing will happen to you. That’s totally cheating!”

Everyone else echoed his grief with a nod.

Hiding himself in the Labor Office with that strength? How many have died at his hands till now?

Zhuo Fan shook his head, “Ha-ha-ha, how is that unfair when you’ve got mountains behind you, elders and venerables. You think I don’t have anything better to do than to dupe you, and to make so many enemies? “

“Yeah, yeah, Steward Zhuo is a new disciple and alone, so why would you need to make enemies? Let me go and second elder, grandpa, will owe you.” Catching the hint in Zhuo Fan’s words, Chi Feng showed off his status.

Yujuan did the same, “My grandpa, seventh elder, will owe you as well and will leave you alone. We’re only doing what we’re told. Please let us go!”

The two begged, despite Zhuo Fan’s twisted smile.

“You should’ve realized this from the start. Now it’s too late for amends.”

“Why?” THe two asked.

Zhuo Fan said, “A killer must pay with the same coin. You came to Labor Office to kill and harm my people. What will happen to my name if I return to them empty handed?”

“You’re doing it for those rotten laborers? Offending our grandpas just for that?” Chi Feng cried, threatening again, “Zhuo Fan, are you going to have elders hunt you down for a bunch of lowlives?”

Zhuo Fan raised a taunting eyebrow, “Threatening me, is it? Ha-ha-ha, yes those lowlifes are not worth a dime, but my reputation is worth mountains. Besides, you guys stole something from me and it’s about time you give it back. “

“W-what?” Yujuan stammered.

Zhuo Fan grinned, “Dignity and foundation. You brats used the time I was gone to rob my laborers of their dignity, of their foundation. Without that, Labor Office will never stand tall in the sect. See, I have no choice. Now you can pass on with peace of mind.”

Zhuo Fan stepped on Chi Feng’s neck, splattering blood everywhere.

Chi Feng’s eyes bulged out in shock from Zhuo Fan’s cruelty.

Or maybe stunned that there was someone in the Demon Scheming Sect going as far as to kill him despite knowing about his grandpa.

“Ah!”

Yujuan shrieked next to Chi Feng’s head.

Zhuo Fan sent her an annoyed glance, “Noisy.”

He repeated the act with her this time and the shriek was cut short, all that was left was the horrified look in her eyes.
