Chapter 218: Cultivation ‘Nuclear Bomb’!
Jia Yi watched as Qiu Daoqi’s expression gradually turned ferocious.
“Qiu Daoqi! Do you know that this man demands I hand over Jia Bing! Are you sure you want to save him? Are you sure you want to stand against my Jia Family?”
At this, Jia Bing also stood up and shouted angrily:
“Qiu Hanyan! Just for a wild man you've only known for less than a month, you want to go against me?”
Qiu Hanyan glanced coldly at Jia Bing, then said in an icy tone:
“Mister Gu has shown me kindness. Besides, my Qiu Family has already stated clearly—we’re only ensuring Mister Gu’s safety for seven days. After that, if you have the ability, go ahead and try to capture him again.”
“Very well! Very well! What a Qiu Family—do you really think my Jia Residence is easy to bully?”
Jia Yi laughed in his fury and shouted toward the two Old Ancestors behind him:
“Old Ancestors! Today, this Gu Fan has thoroughly offended us—he must not be allowed to escape. Otherwise, in the future, he will surely become a great enemy!”
“As for the Qiu Family interfering, our Jia Family has already fulfilled our duty to persuade them. From this moment on… kill without mercy!”
Qiu Daoqi’s expression shifted—those words truly signaled a complete falling out.
The relationship between the two families was bound to plummet to rock bottom, and all previous cooperation would be officially over!
In Tianyuan City, this would undoubtedly cause a tremendous uproar!
However, when thinking of the possibility that Qiu Hanyan might enter the Sacred Land… Qiu Daoqi could only grit his teeth in silence!
“Brother Jia, I truly have no intention of becoming enemies with the Jia Residence! If you're not even willing to grant me seven days, then from this moment on, everything I do is merely for self-preservation!”
As soon as he finished speaking, both sides were about to erupt into battle.
Just then, Gu Fan spoke.
He stepped forward leisurely and said:
“Never expected I’d be able to spark a conflict between two top-tier clans of Tianyuan City… quite an honor, I must say.”
At this moment, Qiu Hanyan couldn’t help but scold with a darkened expression:
“Mister Gu! I recall clearly telling you not to leave Qiu Residence. Is this current situation your goal?”
Gu Fan ignored her questioning and instead asked:
“Let me ask you—how is that woman I left in my side courtyard?”
Qiu Hanyan was fuming and about to speak, but she caught sight of Gu Fan’s chilling, bone-piercing gaze. Her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t utter a thing!
At this point, Qiu Daoqi smiled and said:
“Mister Gu, rest assured. You’ve done my daughter a great favor. The woman you entrusted is still residing safely in your side courtyard. We’ve assigned dedicated personnel for her protection. Nothing will go wrong.”
“Please rest assured on this matter!”
Gu Fan stared at Qiu Hanyan. Seeing her finally nod with frustration and reluctance, he then revealed a smile.
“Congratulations… I’m very satisfied with the answers from you father and daughter. Consider yourselves lucky this time.”
Qiu Hanyan thought she’d misheard, then said with disgust:
“Mister Gu, at this point, stop pretending to be some kind of superior expert. In a moment, we’ll stall the Jia Family members—you just avoid the heat.”
“Remember, don’t try to escape. If my Qiu Family can save you, we can capture you too. As long as you cooperate to complete the remaining tasks, after seven days, you and I will part ways!”
But Gu Fan simply chuckled and countered:
“Part ways? Weren’t you going to bring me to meet your master?”
Qiu Hanyan took a deep breath and finally said to Gu Fan:
“Saving you today settles our debt. And you still want to meet my master?”
At this, Gu Fan burst out in hearty laughter.
He held his stomach and laughed for a long while, then suddenly retracted all mirth.
“Our deal was struck. While I was healing you, it triggered this trash Jia Bing’s jealousy. He’s tried everything to kill me. And somehow, it’s become your Qiu Family’s benevolence that saved me?”
“If it weren’t for healing you, keeping everything secret, would Jia Bing have targeted me?”
“If not for that treatment, would your Qiu Family even consider saving me?”
“In the end, it was all for your own interests. Don’t dress it up like it’s something noble!”
“You!…”
Qiu Hanyan’s face flushed red with anger—what Gu Fan said was true.
She knew full well what kind of person Jia Bing was, yet she failed to explain things clearly, leaving the risk for Gu Fan to shoulder.
Because she thought there was no need to explain, what could have been a chance to lessen Jia Bing’s hostility instead turned into him being dead set on killing Gu Fan.
Unfortunately, Gu Fan was not someone to be trifled with either. When Jia Bing tried to kill him, Gu Fan directly struck back and crippled half of Jia Bing’s life!
Gu Fan had no intention of beating around the bush. He looked directly at the crowd present once again and said:
“Jia Family, this is the last chance I’m giving you—hand over Jia Bing to be dealt with by me, and I’ll spare your lives!”
“Qiu Family, there’s no grudge between us, and from what I see, I even have a favor owed by you. I only have one request—have Elder Qingshun of the Celestial Heart Realm attack with his full power for me once!”
Qiu Hanyan was about to refuse, but Qiu Daoqi raised a hand to stop his daughter.
“This man still dares to act so arrogant in such a situation… he might really have a trump card!”
After speaking, he turned to Gu Fan and said:
“Mister Gu, I agree to your request. But from the looks of it, your conflict with the Jia Family doesn’t seem to require our interference?”
Gu Fan waved his hand and said:
“Stay far away. If anyone dies, don’t blame me for not warning you!”
The members of the Jia Family were directly enraged into laughter.
Jia Bing laughed heartily and pointed at Gu Fan:
“Still acting tough at death’s door? Without the Qiu Family helping you, I’d like to see how you walk out of here alive!”
“Old Ancestors, attack together! Before the Qiu Family can react, kill this man swiftly!”
With that, everyone from Jia Residence charged at Gu Fan at once.
Seeing this, Gu Fan sighed and said:
“Looks like one Jia Bing is enough to bury the entire Jia Residence with him!”
The next moment, a pitch-black metallic oval-shaped orb appeared between Gu Fan’s hands.
Gu Fan instantly infused it with spiritual power and mysterious power, then hurled it toward the charging Jia Family crowd.
With a final injection of mysterious power, the balance instantly collapsed. A violent and destructive force began to stir, its presence looming.
Jia Yi, at the front of the charge, instinctively sensed something wrong, and the two Old Ancestors behind him also noticed the anomaly.
“No! Gu Fan, stop! I beg you to stop!”
But Gu Fan only sneered coldly:
“Stop? Who did those over a hundred slaughtered village households beg when they were butchered by your Jia Residence? Did your Jia Residence ever soften when those souls pleaded for mercy before dying?”
He then turned to Jia Bing and smiled:
“By the way, congratulations Jia Bing. You’ve successfully annihilated the entire Jia Family all by yourself!”
Jia Bing could also feel that terrifying wave of power. Despair consumed his mind!
“No! I was wrong, Gu Fan! Please, I beg you—spare me!”
But Gu Fan only gave one last contemptuous smile:
“Everyone… take care on your journey.”
As soon as he finished, the terrifying force erupted completely!
Jia Yi let out a miserable roar. He had no time to think. An unprecedented sense of death enveloped him.
He knew—it was over. The Jia Family was finished!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gu Fan’s silhouette fleeing ahead of time. He didn’t understand—what kind of force raised such a monster who could unleash such a horrifying attack?
Regret, remorse… for a moment, he didn’t know what emotion was even appropriate!
But it was all meaningless. Very soon, the Jia Family Head and the two Old Ancestors, along with the rest of the people, were completely consumed by the explosion, leaving not even their bones behind!
At the same time, Qiu Daoqi also sensed the impending catastrophe. He turned around, face twisted, dragging his daughter as they fled into the distance without a trace of hesitation!
Only now did he truly understand what Gu Fan’s confidence was.
Why he said the Qiu Family’s decision had saved his life!
Just what kind of monster was this man! A mere Divine Moon Realm cultivator could unleash such a level of attack?
He had no time to think. All he could do was flee desperately with the dazed Qiu Hanyan in tow.
