Super War God in the City

As Ling Fan spoke calmly, Liang Dang suddenly found a strand of sword Qi that was magically soft and elusive, meandering within the shadows of his own sword. Then, the thousands of plum blossom phantoms he had conjured seemed to vanish abruptly. "Bang!" The next second, before Liang Dang had time to think, their swords fiercely collided! The onlookers were even tenser than the two combatants themselves, as if they were the ones fighting. "Damn it, he must die!" muttered someone who hoped to see Ling Fan drop dead on the spot. "Ling Fan, you definitely won't let us down!" Su Qiong and the others prayed anxiously. The clash of their swords happened in a flash, and the next moment, they had crossed paths, each standing back to back, motionless. "Clang!" A clear sound rang out. The crowd stared and saw, to their astonishment, half of a broken sword falling to the ground, clashing against the stones. That half of the broken sword, if not Elder Liang's cold iron sword, then what was it? For a moment, everyone was stupefied! "Defeated... Did Elder Liang lose?" Wan Long and the others almost dropped their jaws, unable to accept what they were seeing. "How could this be? As an Elder who transmits skills and at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, his strength comparable to the Martial Saint Realm, he lost with just one sword strike?" Everyone was horrified. Xiang Hao's heart seized, as if it was viciously gripped by someone; Liang Dang's defeat felt like a supporting wall had crumbled behind him. "Even Elder Liang lost in one move?" Xiang Hao felt as if he had fallen into an ice pit, his body going cold. "Thud!" A dull sound, like a hammer striking everyone's heart, marked an even more shocking scene. They saw Liang Dang with a bloody mark on his forehead, suddenly collapsing to the ground. The onlookers were terrified, and staring intently, they saw that Liang Dang's eyes were wide open, he had died with his eyes still open! Xiang Hao's knees went weak, his brain dizzy, and he nearly knelt on the ground, shivering, "Dead... is he dead?" Cold air shot down Wan Long's back—they thought Liang Dang had only been defeated, never imagining that it was not just defeat, but death! "Elder Liang Dang... is dead?" Lian Cheng's voice was hoarse, his face devoid of any color. Tao Yang and many new students from the Secular World had their mouths agape, as if something was stuck in their throats, unable to utter a word, their hopes shattered once again! Qi He had just managed to get up, so shocked he nearly fell again—he had thought Ling Fan had merely defeated Liang Dang and was thrillingly excited. He was about to laugh triumphantly at the sky and mock Liang Dang a few sentences when he realized Ling Fan hadn't merely defeated Liang Dang, but had actually killed him. This completely changed the concept; defeating was acceptable, but killing him meant declaring war against Zhongnan Academy! Defeat might have left some hope for reconciliation with the academy, representing Ling Fan's extraordinary talent and strength. Killing, however, meant severing all potential for peaceful resolution with the academy! "You, young man..." Qi He was speechless, his heart nearly failing him. "Damn it, boss, that was simply cool to the max, Liang Dang that old dog got served!" Fan Zhan's face flushed with excitement. Jiang Shi gulped, his face flush with excitement, "Boss is the boss, incomparably the top in the world, simply the number one coolest!" "Fuck, Qi He, aren't you a real badass, huh? Top of the assessment, forming the Chao Meng, defeating this and that! Asshole, as soon as our boss Ling Fan shows up, he obliterates you immediately. Still think you're tough? Tough my grandma's legs!" Jiang Shi glanced again at Liang Dang's corpse on the ground, sneering in his heart, 'An elder who transmits skills from Zhongnan Academy, just a showoff, right? Still killed him! Just this arrogantly, just this capricious! These two had been with Ling Fan for a long time, and although they weren't very capable, they had grown quite the temper and definitely weren't afraid of big trouble! Even though Ling Fan killed Liang Dang, the two of them weren't worried at all; they believed that in front of Ling Fan, even the Heavenly King was nothing! They had unconditional support and trust in Ling Fan. Now, even if Ling Fan wanted to 'shoot the sky', they would nod and believe he could definitely do it. Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu bit their lips tightly, their eyes filled with complex, excited, nervous, admiring emotions as they looked at Ling Fan's figure. His casually domineering stance was intoxicating, the more they knew him, the more they were fascinated. In front of friends, he was humble and polite; in front of ordinary people, he was approachable; in front of enemies, he was overwhelming and domineering, ready to fight the whole world for his friends and loved ones! "Ling Fan, no matter what happens, we will always stand by your side, live or die together!" Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu both silently vowed in their hearts. Zhong Rong and Zheng Yu had completely lost their ability to think. Without Ling Fan, they felt suppressed and frustrated! But they found that after this guy came back, the suppression was gone, but so was their thinking, their souls had fled, completely shocked and scared. It was indeed too exhilarating, too thrilling, that their brains lacked oxygen, and they excitedly transitioned directly to shock! "Fuck, this guy is a madman, but, damn it, I like it!" Zhong Rong swallowed hard. "This guy isn't a madman, he's a killing god, whoever messes with him is cursing their own ancestors!" Zheng Yu said sheepishly. Wu Rao was so shocked she didn't know what to say. Her emotions were the most complicated; just a moment ago she was worried for Ling Fan, but after he killed Liang Dang, she grew even more concerned. Killing Liang Dang meant an endless feud with Zhongnan Academy. It's a worry that's hard to solve since the academy is backed by the Five Peaks. It might be exhilarating now, but what about later? Wu Rao was tortured by her mixed feelings of anxiety, happiness, and concern, almost driving herself crazy. "You asshole, don't you know how to restrain yourself a bit? Is defeating them not enough? Why must you kill? Afraid others won't know how formidable you are? You're killing me with anger!" Wu Rao stomped her foot in anger, recovering from her shock. At that moment, Ling Fan casually sheathed the Broken Sword, his gaze tranquil as he turned and looked indifferently at Xiang Hao. "Heh, you're lucky. You lived a bit longer than that old bastard. You've breathed enough of this air!" Ling Fan chuckled lightly. Upon hearing this, Xiang Hao quivered, unable to hold back anymore, and 'thud', he knelt down. "Big… Big brother… no… boss, you are my boss, I was wrong..." Xiang Hao was truly panic-stricken this time. Fuck, Xiang Hao had been quite the tough guy in Zhongnan Academy for several years, seen all kinds of tough people and never feared anyone! But he had never seen a tough guy like Ling Fan. A literal elder who transmits skills in the academy, for fuck's sake, you said to kill and just killed him? Now Xiang Hao considered himself someone with status, having been tough enough to shock countless students at the academy even by scolding Qi He! Yet despite his status, he would never dare to disrespect Liang Dang, but this Ling Fan, goddamn it, disrespect was one thing, but to kill so easily without even a frown? In front of Ling Fan, he suddenly realized, if he had been showing off all these years, then goddamn, what Boss Ling Fan does isn't showing off anymore. It's something transcending his lowly level of showing off; it's a loneliness, a loneliness of Dugu seeking defeat!
