Chapter 170 The Conquest of Shanhai City

Two half-step Grandmasters, seeing Chu Fan aggressively advance, struck simultaneously.

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

Fist against fist.

What?

Elder Brother Chai's scalp tingled.

The followers behind him all wore expressions of shock.

The two half-step Grandmasters attacking together not only failed to blast Chu Fan away, but their own arms, as if a normal person punching steel plates, hung limply, clearly broken.

It wasn't over yet.

As their arms had just drooped, Chu Fan suddenly accelerated, crashing into both of them.

Whoosh...

They offered no resistance, being directly sent tumbling backward by the impact.

"Puff..."

"Puff..."

Upon landing, they both spat blood, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Chu Fan.

As half-step Grandmasters, they believed themselves to be at the pinnacle of this world, capable of disregarding the masses.

Yet, before the young Chu Fan, they were like ordinary people facing them, utterly unable to withstand a single blow, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

How could he be this strong?

Although they knew Chu Fan was no simple man, this was outrageously powerful.

Elder Brother Chai retreated hastily, utterly surprised that the two powerful individuals he brought from his family were so easily defeated by Chu Fan.

"Go, go..."

To stop Chu Fan, Elder Brother Chai had no choice but to issue orders to his other followers.

Every follower wore a bitter expression. Knowing they were no match for Chu Fan and that fighting would be suicidal, they still had to act.

"Damn!"

"Hall Master is awesome!"

Seeing Chu Fan deal with the remaining Grandmasters, like trained bodyguards handling street thugs, Qin Tian and Wang Yangyan couldn't help but exclaim.

In just five seconds, everyone brought by Elder Brother Chai lay on the ground, incapable of resisting.

Elder Brother Chai's face had long since turned pale, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Chu Fan.

At this moment, he finally understood why the higher-ups of the Dragon God Kingdom feared this young man so much. Even knowing that the organization he built rode roughshod over the War Emperor Palace, they dared not speak out.

Seeing Chu Fan still advancing towards him, Elder Brother Chai turned and fled.

Whoosh...

The wind howled.

Elder Brother Chai had only run a few steps when his vision blurred, and then he felt a tight grip around his neck, his feet no longer touching the ground.

"You, you can't hurt me!"

"If you dare hurt me, my brother..."

Boom...

Before Elder Brother Chai could finish his threat, Chu Fan slammed him heavily onto the ground like a stone.

Accustomed to a life of luxury, Elder Brother Chai couldn't catch his breath from the impact, his mouth agape in struggle.

Then, Chu Fan took a step forward and kicked him like a football.

Elder Brother Chai flew horizontally, skimming the ground, and crashed into the curb, falling unconscious.

"I'll give you one hour. Get out of Shan Hai City!"

"Dare to come to Shan Hai City again, and you die!"

The temperature at the scene instantly dropped, making everyone shiver.

The heavily injured Grandmasters and half-step Grandmasters lying on the ground, forcing themselves to endure their pain, helped the unconscious Elder Brother Chai up and hastily departed.

Witnessing this, Qin Tian and Wang Yangyan both breathed a sigh of relief.

When Elder Brother Chai had cornered them at the entrance of the Shan Hai Hall, and Chu Fan had not yet appeared, seeing the opponent's formation, they knew a tough battle awaited them.

Indeed, upon seeing the two half-step Grandmasters among the opponents, Qin Tian had prepared himself for serious injury or even death.

Unexpectedly, Chu Fan himself arrived and single-handedly resolved this crisis.

"Hall Master, why did you come personally!"

"They are not worthy of you making a move!"

Qin Tian sidled up to Chu Fan, saying with a smile.

Chu Fan rolled his eyes and muttered, "Hindsight!"

Qin Tian looked helpless.

Wang Yangyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chu Fan looked up at the three characters 'Shan Hai Tang' above the door and asked with a frown, "Who wrote this? I remember it wasn't this one before!"

"I wrote it!"

Qin Tian replied, "The previous one was written by Yang Yan. I felt mine was better, so I rewrote it!"

"Hall Master, you..."

Just as he was about to ask Chu Fan to comment on his calligraphy of 'Shan Hai Tang', Chu Fan spoke first, "Too poor, I think it's not as good as before!"

Uh...

Qin Tian was stunned, his old face immediately flushed red.

"Haha, I told you yours wasn't as good as mine, and you didn't believe me!"

"Now you believe it, don't you!"

Wang Yangyan couldn't help but mock.

As the left and right deputy hall masters of Shan Hai Hall, they had often argued over the plaque, each convinced their own calligraphy was superior.

"Yours isn't great either!"

Chu Fan attacked mercilessly. Wang Yangyan, who had been gloating, was startled and then dared not laugh.

With nothing else to do, and knowing that the Shan Hai Hall plaque was a facade, Chu Fan clearly understood it had to possess an intimidating presence.

He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Prepare the materials, I will write it!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian and Wang Yangyan's eyes lit up, and they quickly turned to prepare.

In fact, they had long wanted to ask Chu Fan to leave his mark, as he was the Hall Master, and it was only fitting he leave something behind.

However, Chu Fan was elusive, like a dragon that showed its head but not its tail.

They dared not ask, fearing Chu Fan might refuse.

Soon, a plaque made of superior wood was placed before Chu Fan.

Chu Fan took a deep breath and, with swift strokes, wrote the three characters 'Shan Hai Tang' on the plaque.

Supported by his power, the brush he used to write directly pressed into the wood of the plaque, eliminating the need to take it to an engraver to carve according to the grain. It could be lacquered directly.

Wang Yangyan had long heard from Qin Tian about Chu Fan's divine calligraphy.

Impatiently, he walked to the front to examine it.

"Ah..."

The moment he looked, he suddenly let out a scream, instinctively covering his eyes with his hands and turning his back to the plaque.

The pain gradually subsided.

Wang Yangyan lowered his hands, and saw that his eyes seemed to have been poked, his eyeballs red and very frightening.

"Too terrifying!"

Having suffered damage, Wang Yangyan dared not stare at the plaque anymore.

In his lifetime, he had never imagined that words written by a person could, with just a glance, make him feel as if his eyes were about to be pierced by sharp blades.

Wang Yangyan understood even more clearly that if he had looked for another two seconds, his eyes would have been ruined.

Qin Tian also looked on with lingering fear. He had also been about to examine it properly when Wang Yangyan cried out, startling him into quickly retracting his gaze.

Thinking how powerful this calligraphy was, Qin Tian said, "Sir, this calligraphy is so potent, won't it injure people if hung at the entrance?"

The plaque was hung above the door.

Everyone who came to visit Shan Hai Hall would instinctively look up.

Wouldn't this mean everyone would be harmed?

Chu Fan shook his head, "The killing intent will gradually recede. Unless someone has nothing better to do and stares at it continuously, they won't be affected. Otherwise, it's fine!"

Knowing this, their hanging hearts finally settled.

Afterward, Chu Fan continued to give instructions, as he planned to leave Shan Hai City in the next few days.

Elder Brother Chai had just been beaten and sent away.

Whether he would forget the pain and seek revenge again was unpredictable.

However, Chu Fan assumed he would not forget the pain and would still seek to retaliate and regain face.

He informed them in advance how Qin Tian and the other should respond if such a scenario were to occur.

Three hours later.

At the Chai family residence in the Dragon God Kingdom.

Elder Brother Chai looked at his brother being carried back and roared in anger, "How dare they injure my brother, they're seeking death!"

"Guards, assemble everyone!"

"March on Shan Hai City!"
