Chapter 217: The Qiu Family Came to Join the Fun?
Jia Bing clearly had not yet figured out why his old man had suddenly turned meek. Feeling the pain surging from his face, he was practically about to explode in rage!
This Gu Fan had actually slapped him across the face in front of the entire Jia Family!
“Dad! He’s got no damn backing! Kill him! Dad!”
“Gu Fan is no good. Even if we let him go today, he’ll come back for revenge!”
At that moment, Gu Fan smiled while holding Xiao Leyao in his arms.
“You actually got that part right. I’m not the kind who lets things slide just because someone says so.”
Jia Yi’s expression grew even darker.
“What do you want? I admit, I did consider forcing you out to eliminate any future threats. And now, yes, I am wary of the forces behind you and don’t wish to make an enemy of you. But that doesn’t mean my Jia Family will let you have your way.”
“Besides, you didn’t suffer any losses. If you really push us, I guarantee the Jia Family won’t let you walk out of Tianyun City alive!”
Gu Fan smiled and said,
“Patriarch of the Jia Family, I like your directness, so I’ll be blunt too. This matter was clearly Jia Bing setting me up, trying to ambush and kill me. The fact that I didn’t kill him that day was already me letting it go. Now, you slaughtered an entire village just to force me out. My request is simple—hand over Jia Bing and let me deal with him!”
As soon as he said that, Jia Bing exploded, shrieking non-stop and urging his father to kill Gu Fan.
Jia Yi’s face turned grim.
“Must you be so aggressive? So a few mortals died—what’s that to you? You suffered no loss!”
Gu Fan shook his head.
“This is necessary. Either we go to war, or Jia Bing must die!”
“Jia Bing is the only bloodline of the Jia Family! Gu Fan, don’t push me!”
“That village was also the only bloodline for each of those families. Not only did you kill people, you slaughtered the entire village. I’m only asking for one from the Jia Family. What’s so unreasonable about that?”
Gu Fan’s mysterious power erupted. The invisible pressure shattered the Jia Residence’s blockade, shaking all of Tianyun City!
“If you won’t hand him over, then we fight!”
Having held a high position for many years, Jia Yi had never suffered such humiliation. He was instantly enraged and laughed coldly.
“Fine, fine, fine! I gave you a way out, but you insisted on courting death. No matter what force stands behind you, they can’t save you from the fate of dying today!”
“What genius? Once dead, it’s all nonsense!”
The next moment, a powerful aura burst forth—half-step Celestial Heart Realm pressure continuously pressed down on Gu Fan.
“This old man wants to see just what makes you so bold to be this arrogant in my Jia Residence!”
As he finished speaking, he struck with one palm.
At once, the space around Gu Fan seemed to collapse, and the overwhelming pressure locked his movements, attempting to pin him in place.
“Break!”
Gu Fan shouted, and his body’s blood and energy surged like a blazing furnace, dazzling and formidable.
With one arm protecting Leyao, he formed hand seals with the other and clashed head-on with the Jia Family Patriarch in a thunderous collision.
Booming sounds rang out continuously. The strength of a half-step Celestial Heart Realm Expert was indeed terrifying.
Though Gu Fan’s physical body was formidable, the gap in mysterious power was too vast. He was directly sent flying back several hundred meters.
“Just a mere Mid-stage Divine Moon Realm, yet so shameless! Today this old man will show you the price of arrogance!”
Gu Fan’s body loosened up entirely, and the sound of bones popping like frying beans echoed.
He was fully activating his physical power, bringing this advantage to its peak.
“Half-step Celestial Heart Realm? That’s all? How disappointing!”
Gu Fan understood that facing an expert of this realm, at best he could only ensure he wouldn’t die for a short while—getting beaten was inevitable.
He could have taken out his cultivation ‘nuclear bomb’ formed of mysterious and spiritual power to flatten the entire Jia Family, but he didn’t want to waste this opportunity.
Clashing with the Jia Family Patriarch was, in its own way, a valuable tempering of his own combat strength.
And so, Gu Fan charged in at full force to fight while continuing to protect Xiao Leyao.
As time went on, even the Jia Family Patriarch grew irritated.
This guy was like a cockroach—completely unkillable.
Each time he attempted a killing blow, Gu Fan would somehow detect it instantly and then start evading the deadly strikes.
And so, the two clashed back and forth. It appeared as though the Jia Family Patriarch was constantly suppressing Gu Fan, but in reality, there was never a real opportunity to kill him.
Jia Bing still thought his old man was hesitating because of concerns about the background forces involved, and immediately shouted:
“Dad, kill him quickly! We’ve come this far—he won’t possibly spare our Jia Family! Don’t hold back anymore!”
“That’s right, Patriarch. At this point, we must eliminate the root! Patriarch, don’t go easy!”
These words made Jia Yi’s old face flush red. How could he not want to finish the battle quickly? It was just that Gu Fan was too slippery.
He was incredibly fast, his divine sense was sharp, and most importantly, his physical body was absurdly strong.
Even if he took a hit or two, he could bear it. After a short while, he looked completely unscathed again.
The worst injury dealt so far was just seeing Gu Fan spit out a mouthful of blood.
Thinking of this, Jia Yi grew impatient and, disregarding all decorum, shouted:
“Old Ancestors, quickly come and help kill this brat instantly!”
Immediately, two powerful auras at the peak of the Late Stage of the Solar Radiance Realm rose from the depths of the Jia Residence and rushed to the battlefield!
The situation instantly deteriorated. Facing the encirclement of three Late Stage Solar Radiance Realm cultivators, Gu Fan’s defenses quickly crumbled.
In just three breaths, he was struck repeatedly, rolling and flying through the air.
“Hmph! Just a Mid-stage Divine Moon Realm cultivator. Even if you have a bit of talent and can fight above your level, you still dare to be so presumptuous in my Jia Family!”
Jia Yi then bowed toward the two white-haired old men and said:
“Thank you, Old Ancestors, for your help. This one’s physical body is extremely tough and troublesome.”
One of the white-haired old men smiled and said:
“No matter. So what if he’s a genius? Under the siege of the three of us, he’s doomed to die!”
At this moment, Jia Yi looked at Gu Fan, who was now surrounded, and said:
“If you had just accepted the reconciliation earlier, you wouldn’t be facing a life-and-death crisis now!”
“Heh, I still say the same thing. If you want me to spare your Jia Family, hand over Jia Bing for me to deal with!”
Jia Yi was so enraged that he burst out laughing:
“Are you dreaming? Still so arrogant at the brink of death. Fine, Old Ancestors, assist me. Let’s finish him off quickly!”
“Attack!”
In an instant, the three of them unleashed terrifying attacks, all techniques at the Late Stage of the Solar Radiance Realm.
Faced with such overwhelming power, Gu Fan didn’t dare to take it head-on recklessly.
At once, Magic Immunity was activated, directly neutralizing most of the spell damage.
“Still not enough… The Jia Residence can’t possibly only have this much foundation. There should be more Late Stage Solar Radiance Realm experts…”
“Too bad, my current threat level isn’t enough to force out the rest of their cards…”
As he dodged, Gu Fan was also pondering whether to just detonate everything.
As long as the others were still in the Jia Residence, most likely they wouldn’t escape!
But just then, a light laugh echoed.
“Brother Jia and esteemed elders of the Jia Family, might I ask for a bit of face?”
As the words fell, a divine radiance appeared and blocked the attacks of the two old ancestors.
Gu Fan was slightly surprised. Upon a closer look, it was none other than Qiu Hanyan and her family’s elders!
Jia Yi’s expression drastically changed as he looked at them and said:
“Is the Qiu Family truly going to oppose my Jia Family?”
“Let’s get this straight. It wasn’t I who took someone from your Qiu Family—it was he who came knocking to provoke me. Am I not even allowed to kill him?”
Qiu Daoqi showed a deeply apologetic expression, but his tone was unwavering as he said:
“Apologies, Brother Jia. This person is of vital importance to my Qiu Family. I ask only that you give me seven days. After seven days, whether he lives or dies after leaving the Qiu Family has nothing to do with us!”
Gu Fan slowly stood up and patted the dust off his body. So it turned out they weren’t here to save him—they merely regarded him as a tool.
He chuckled lightly while looking at the scene before him, feeling that things were becoming increasingly interesting.
He was considering whether to seize an opportunity to wipe out all the major families in Tianyuan City in one go.
The only worry was… if a Celestial Heart Realm bigwig got involved, he might not be able to walk away alive.
