High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

After Karl finished speaking, the battle on the other side was also nearing its end.

Even though Song Tian's strength was unparalleled among True Yuan Realm martial artists, he was still a whole realm below Shi Tao and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Upon hearing Karl's plea for mercy, Song Tian hesitated for a moment, feinted, and ran straight outside.

He couldn't believe that his ancestor had gotten into trouble, but Chen Fan's strength far exceeded his imagination. If he stayed, he would have no chance of winning. It would be better to leave this dangerous place first and try to contact his ancestor.

The eyes of Song Wu and the others lying on the ground all held a hint of sorrow.

However, they knew that this was the best course of action. If their eldest brother could find their seventh uncle, all the better. If not, they should return to the family as soon as possible and tell the other two elders in the family that they might have a chance to survive.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Shi Tao gave a low shout and quickly chased after them.

However, there was another figure who was even faster than him.

In the blink of an eye, Song Tian returned.

Of course, it wasn't voluntary on his part. Chen Fan had pressed all the major acupoints on his body, and then, like a toy, he was picked up and casually tossed into the hall.

Instantly, the hall fell silent, and Chang Fei and the others present all breathed a sigh of relief.

The crisis at headquarters has been resolved.

However, an even bigger problem arises: how to deal with these guys?

Kill them all?

The conflict between the Song family, Chen Fan, and the association is destined to be one of irreconcilable enmity.

It's possible that the other two Celestial Realm martial artists from the Song family will rush here day and night the moment they hear the news, wishing they could raze this place to the ground.

Karl's death had even more serious consequences.

The strength of the Revival Society far surpasses that of the Song family. Excluding Karl, there are six others whose strength is equivalent to the Celestial Realm martial artists of Yan Kingdom, two of whom are comparable to mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artists.

What's most troublesome is that these people, despite coming from different families, are very united. Once they learn that Karl has been killed, they will surely do everything in their power to seek revenge.

This doesn't even take into account the fact that some powerful families in Yan State, with whom they have good relations, will certainly not let such a big incident pass them by.

In other words, if word gets out that Karl is dead, at least ten Celestial Realm warriors will come to the scene, including at least four of them who have reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.

What can headquarters use to defend itself?

Even for Old Wang, under such circumstances, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—overestimating his own strength.

But if I don't kill them, won't they thank me?

Even a three-year-old knows that this is impossible.

Chen Fan just said that the Song family's patriarch died at his hands, so they definitely believe him. The fact that he overpowered Karl just now is enough to prove that he has the strength.

Song Tian and the others might not believe it at first, but after returning home and failing to contact their ancestor for a long time, they will understand.

A martial artist at the Celestial Realm has died!

This is not comparable to the Song Gang who died before.

Even if the Song family wanted to settle the matter peacefully, public opinion would not allow them to do so. Moreover, no normal person would choose to settle the matter peacefully if their blood relative was killed.

As for Karl?

Don't forget, the Maple Kingdom man who came with him also died.

And they just witnessed how shameless this person is.

When he gets back, he will definitely embellish the story and tell others. At that time, the Revival Society will still be their enemy, but it won't be so blatant.

Therefore, killing these people is not good, and not killing them is also not good.

Even Shi Tao was at his wits' end.

"?"

At that moment, Ling Yu noticed that it had suddenly become quiet outside and started to panic.

What's going on? Why is there suddenly no sound?

The Song family has been defeated?

Where is that Maple Country guy named Karl? He suddenly remembered that the guy seemed to have begged for mercy earlier.

What about the Song family's patriarch? He hasn't returned since he chased after them. How much time has passed? Could it be that, as that man surnamed Chen said, he's really dead?

Ling Yu shuddered, feeling a chill run through his body, as if he were in a frozen wasteland.

No way, two Celestial Realm warriors couldn't kill a guy surnamed Chen?

So useless?

"cough."

A cough broke the silence in the hall.

Song Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood, stared at Chen Fan with resentful eyes, and said, "Boy, I admit I underestimated you. If I had known this would happen, I should have brought the three patriarchs of my family with me. Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world. Come on, kill me."

"Big brother!"

Upon hearing his words, Song Wu and the others standing nearby were taken aback.

They are currently at the mercy of the enemy, and it would be unwise to provoke them under these circumstances.

Chen Fan gave a cold laugh and said, "You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Then go ahead and do it."

Song Tian, ​​utterly fearless, declared, "As the head of the Song family, if I blink, I'll be your grandson!"

Other members of the Song family were gradually infected by his fearless attitude towards death.

"That's right, kid, if you've got the guts, kill us all! Don't worry, we'll be waiting for you in the afterlife!"

"Hahaha, not only you, but also Shi Tao, and all of you—none of you will escape! Our Song family ancestors will avenge us!"

"Come on! Do it! You're not scared and don't dare to do it, are you?"

A series of voices rang out, full of momentum.

It's as if they are the victors.

Chang Fei and the others didn't know what to do.

However, Carl became increasingly panicked.

He looked at the excited Song family members.

Are these guys mentally challenged? They don't want to live, but they do!

What if we anger that young man, and he kills the entire Song family and then slaps him to death?

"Shut up!"

He roared, his voice like a monstrous wave, completely drowning out the voices of the Song family.

"You bunch of useless bastards, you have no skills whatsoever, all you do is drag us down!"

He grumbled, "If I'd known you were all so useless, I shouldn't have come with you in the first place. I'm in this mess because of you!"

The Song family members looked at each other, their previous imposing manner completely gone.

"Ka, Mr. Carl."

Song Tian said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. This time it was indeed a miscalculation on our part, and we dragged you down with us. Please forgive us."

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Karl flew into a rage. "I want to live! I want to live! You know that? I don't want to die here like all of you piece of trash!"

Upon hearing this, Song Wu and the others unconsciously clenched their fists.

Did they want things to get to this point?

They don't want this either, do they?

However, this kid surnamed Chen is too strong. My seventh uncle hasn't returned for so long, he's probably really dead at his hands.

Faced with such an absolute disparity in strength, what chance do they have of survival?

"Mr. Carl, please calm down."

Song Tian took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Fan and the others, and said, "Your identity is rather special, they wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

Or perhaps, deep down, he really hoped that Chen Fan would also kill Karl.

In this way, he, along with the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association behind him, will have to face the retaliation from both his Song family and the Revival Society!

Even a single family within the council of elders would find this situation extremely troublesome.

Karl opened his mouth.

He also felt that, given his status, these Yan people wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

But what if?

"I know what you're thinking."

Chen Fan spoke.

"You knew you had no way out, so you asked me to kill you to leave a good reputation. Then you deliberately said I wouldn't kill him, trying to provoke my rebellious nature and make me kill him so that you could completely offend the Revival Society, right?"

"So what if it is?"

Song Tian remained completely calm, even managing a smile.

"What can you do even if you know?"

Shi Tao and the others fell silent.

Yes, what can we do even if we know?

The forces behind the two sides are vastly different.

"Good question."

Chen Fan's voice rang out, but he didn't sound anxious or angry as Song Tian had expected.

"I will not kill you."

Song Tian, ​​along with the Song family members around him, were all taken aback.

"Kid, you're not trying to curry favor with us through this, are you?" the fifth son of the Song family taunted. "Do you think you can pretend nothing happened by doing this?"

"Boy, it's too late for you to back down now." Song Wu's eyes gleamed with smugness. "The moment you killed my third brother, you and the Song family were already locked in a life-or-death struggle."

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"I'm not killing you to curry favor with you, but to show you how I killed your Song family patriarch after he arrived."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the smug expressions on the faces of the Song family and others vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, everyone became excited.

"How arrogant! Do you even know the strength of my Song family's other two patriarchs?"

"You think you can kill my two patriarchs? Dream on!"

"Hahaha, kid, if you're really capable, then do it. We'd like to see if you have the ability when that day comes!" Song Tian laughed loudly.

If Chen Fan doesn't kill them, that would be the best outcome.

When our two ancestors arrive, they can rescue them.

Not to mention them, even Shi Tao and others couldn't believe it.

They knew that Chen Fan was very strong, possibly comparable to a mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artist.

However, the other side consists of two mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artists. If they were to come, they wouldn't be separated as easily as they were this time.

"Indeed, my strength is still somewhat lacking, so I need your help," Chen Fan said calmly.

"Shall I lend you a hand?"

Song Wu sneered.

Are you kidding me? He wanted nothing more than to stab him to death.

No, killing him with just one strike would be too lenient.

At the very least, he should be torn to pieces and dismembered!

"Chen Fan".

Shi Tao couldn't help but speak up, "If there's anything you need help with, just tell us. We won't hesitate to help, even if it means going through fire and water."

"Yeah yeah."

Chang Fei and the others nodded repeatedly.

"President, you've misunderstood. Only they can help with this."

Chen Fan shook his head.

"Only they can help?" Shi Tao frowned, not understanding what Chen Fan meant.

Chen Fan didn't explain, and walked up to Song Tian.

"Come on, let's get started!"

Song Tian stared intently into Chen Fan's eyes.

Chen Fan extended his palm and placed it a few centimeters away from the other person's forehead.

Instantly, a surge of pure internal energy was drawn from the opponent's dantian, passing through his brow and into Chen Fan's palm.

"Star-Absorbing Technique!"

A gasp escaped Song Tian's convulsing mouth.

"What! The Star-Absorbing Technique!"

"Star-Absorbing Technique!"

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

The Star Absorbing Technique is known to all martial artists at the True Essence Realm and above; in fact, it is a martial art that many people dream of learning.

Because it can take over the life's work of others, the deeper the work of others, the more the user of the Star Absorbing Technique will grow in strength.

However, this technique is also very dangerous, because the more internal energy you absorb, the harder it is to control. If you are not careful, the internal energy will backfire and you will explode and die.

On the other hand, this technique has a bad reputation, and it is generally only used by people with a bad reputation.

"Young Master Chen, does he even know the Star Absorbing Technique?"

A chill ran through Shen Si's heart.

This means that Chen Fan can absorb the internal energy of everyone present, including them, whenever he wants.

But he was immediately relieved.

Brother Chen isn't that kind of person. If he wanted to do that, would he have waited until today?

Moreover, when the president asked him if there was anything he could help with, he said that they couldn't help with that.

Shi Tao watched this scene with a complex expression.

He was actually quite averse to martial arts like the Star Absorbing Technique.

This is because absorbing the inner strength of others contradicts his philosophy of taking things one step at a time.

However, he understood even more clearly the principle that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. What happened here could not be kept secret from certain people in the city. Once the news spread, Chen Fan would face the Song family's furious retaliation.

"Stop! Stop!"

The Song family panicked.

They were not afraid of death, nor were they afraid of torture.

But they were afraid of losing their life's skills and becoming useless. Even if they could save their lives, it would be a hundred times worse than death.

"Let go of my brother!" Song Wu suddenly stood up and rushed towards Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's expression was icy. Just as the other party was about to rush in front of him, he stretched out his left hand. Instantly, Song Wu seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, and his internal energy surged wildly outward.

"No, no, don't absorb my power!"

Song Wu wept uncontrollably.

A few seconds later, Chen Fan released the two of them.

Having almost lost all their life's skills, Song Tian and Song Wu no longer had the same brilliance in their eyes and slumped to the ground.

"Why? Why didn't you absorb all my internal energy?"

As Chen Fan walked forward, he heard Song Tian's voice, filled with gritted teeth, coming from behind him.

"In that case, you would die. But as I said, I will spare your lives so you can see how your Song family patriarch dies at my hands."

Chen Fan said calmly. (End of Chapter)
