Super War God in the City

At that moment, the shocked expressions of the people all turned toward the only shining figure in the arena. They discovered that Ling Fan, who had killed Liang Dang, was calm and composed, seemingly unaware of the trouble he had caused, as if what he killed was not an Academy Elder, but a mere dog! Ling Fan didn't even glance at Liang Dang's corpse. Instead, he looked indifferently at Xiang Hao. "I always keep my word; did you think my earlier words to you were just hot air?" Xiang Hao startled and bobbed his head like pounding garlic. In front of Ling Fan, he realized that face and inner worth were both worthless, far less important than his life. The spectators around, seeing the usually imposing noble head bowing down to Ling Fan like a dog, could not help but sigh in their hearts. However, no one spoke in ridicule because, in front of Ling Fan, they all agreed that anyone normal would have cowered! "Brother, Brother Fan, I was wrong. Please have mercy on me. I, Xiang Hao, failed to recognize your greatness. Just let me off like a fart!" Xiang Hao sobbed and pleaded repeatedly. The young followers of the noble houses had mixed emotions, especially Zha You, who trembled like a sieve. He dared to show off outside only because he had a tiger like Xian Hao backing him. Now that Xiang Hao was cowering like a dog, and given his actions toward Su Qiong and the others just before, he didn't know what death awaited him, and the more he thought, the closer he came to fainting. Xiang Hao no longer cared about maintaining appearances; he just wanted to escape this imminent threat and live to see another day. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Better to be alive than dead; everything else was just talk. Ling Fan glanced coldly at the incessantly pleading Xiang Hao and sneered inwardly. In his eyes, this guy was already a dead man—insulting Su Qiong and the others, there was no chance for redemption. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly an angry voice interrupted, "Xiang Hao, what are you doing? You're completely disgracing the Xiang Family!" The voice was filled with endless fury and disbelief. Upon hearing this, Xiang Hao shook and quickly turned to look. He saw a young man who looked seventy to eighty percent similar to him, walking over with a long sword on his back and a gloomy face. "Big... Big brother?" Xiang Hao muttered to himself. "Damn, Xiang... Xiang Luo is here?" the spectating crowd murmured in surprise upon seeing the newcomer. "Wasn't he absent from the academy lately? Unexpectedly, he returned at this time. This guy's strength is much greater than Liang Dang's. It's uncertain if this will turn into a show!" another person exclaimed in surprise and anticipation. "This guy, ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List of the Inner Academy, has unfathomable Cultivation and extremely rich combat experience. It's rumored that even Liang Dang was no match for him. With Xiang Luo appearing, it looks like things are going to heat up!" another person muttered, eyes twinkling with excitement. Qi He, upon seeing the newcomer, tensed up immediately. Xiang Luo had outstanding talent in the Hidden Dragon Institute, probably not far behind Ling Fan, and even the Supreme Elder of the Inner Academy praised him highly. It was said that the secluded Noble Houses of the Five Peaks were trying to woo him to be their son-in-law. Wu Rao stayed silent, her heart filled with mixed feelings. Ling Fan had really stirred up a hornet's nest now, possibly beyond control. She didn't know how Ling Fan would manage to conclude this! "Damn it, what are you doing? You, a noble head, kneeling and bowing to someone else? Damn it, you've completely thrown away my face!" Xiang Luo bellowed angrily. "Big, big brother, listen to my explanation..." Xiang Hao felt aggrieved in his heart. How could he not kneel? It was a matter of life and death. "Big brother, Elder Liang Dang is dead!" In a critical moment, Xiang Hao cleverly seized the imperative, spilling the essential facts. More explanations at this point were pointless; citing facts had more persuasive power. Saying this, he gestured towards Liang Dang's corpse. Xiang Luo was about to scold Xiang Hao when he heard this. He paused in shock and quickly followed the direction of the gesture. When he clearly saw the corpse on the ground, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes slightly narrowed. "Who did this?" Xiang Luo said calmly. The one capable of killing Liang Dang was someone to regard highly, but this fool wasn't worth his attention. By making an enemy of Zhongnan Academy, the murderer had already cornered himself into a dead end! "Big brother, it was him, he tried to kill me!" Xiang Hao quickly pointed at Ling Fan and spoke. Xiang Luo was the only pillar in his heart, also his last straw. If Xiang Luo were to be defeated, then all hope would be lost. "Stand up and move to the side!" Xiang Luo said coldly. As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Ling Fan, "Kid, you're quite arrogant, even daring to kill Elder Liang Dang. Although Elder Liang Dang was defeated by my hand, I didn't have the guts to kill him. And I don't even know your esteemed name!" Xiang Luo's words were skillfully crafted; he was suggesting to Ling Fan that he also possessed the strength to kill Liang Dang, thereby elevating his own status for an equal conversation with Ling Fan. Ling Fan glanced at Xiang Luo and didn't recognize him. Curious, he asked, "And who might you be, meddling in my business?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Luo's heart skipped a beat, finding the man before him audacious. But realizing that Ling Fan dared to kill Liang Dang, he understood; one couldn't commit such a bold act without being audacious! However, he didn't want to clash with this madman. Since Liang Dang had been killed, naturally, someone from the academy would handle it. There was no need to step forward and clean up the mess for others! "I am Xiang Luo from the Hidden Dragon Institute, ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List, and a disciple of the Qiao Family of Zhongnan, the leading noble house in the Zhongnan Heavenly Vein!" Xiang Luo declared thoughtfully. Although it was just a short sentence, he fully showcased his identity and background. In fact, he usually disdained flaunting these attributes, but today was different; he needed these titles to intimidate his opponent. To Ling Fan, these impressive titles were completely unimpressive. However, the onlookers, especially the new academy students, were incredibly excited. The more formidable Xiang Luo was, the greater the likelihood of defeating Ling Fan! "Damn, the leading noble house of Heavenly Vein, I've heard of it, and he's even third on the Hidden Dragon List. He can definitely trounce this Ling Fan!" Kong Yin muttered in shock, his eyes filled with hope. "Yeah, haven't you heard? Elder Liang Dang was defeated by him. His strength is not simple; he can definitely defeat Ling Fan, maybe even kill him!" Jiang Wen said with a fierce expression. Tao Yang and the other freshmen were visibly excited. At this moment, their greatest wish was for someone capable of killing Ling Fan to appear, and apparently, Xiang Luo fit the bill! Xiang Hao stood on the side, secretly relieved. With his elder brother Xiang Luo here, there was likely a turnaround in this situation. Even Zha You felt much more relieved, and his legs trembled less. The old students and elders like Wan Long who were watching remained silent. Now it was a fight between gods, and they were not yet qualified to participate—just standing on the side and watching the show. "It seems there might be some misunderstanding between my brother and you. Can you let this go for my sake, and let's minimize the incident?" Xiang Luo spoke up again amid the expectant gazes of the new students. Upon hearing this, Ling Fan's eyebrows slightly furrowed. This guy sure was thick-faced. Shaking his head slightly, "You can know my name, Ling Fan, I never change my name or surname. However, your face means nothing to me, and he must die today. I suggest you step aside!" As these words were spoken, the entire place erupted in astonishment, and everyone exchanged looks. Among the expectant crowd, they didn't expect Xiang Luo to speak so submissively. Furthermore, everyone was surprised by Ling Fan's continued arrogance, challenging everyone's limits and showing no respect. Xiang Hao and Zha You, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were dumbfounded again. In the midst of his shock, Xiang Luo's thoughts were a whirlwind of confusion. Yet, he disregarded Ling Fan's arrogance, now preoccupied with another matter! "You... You're Ling Fan? The fiancé of Qiao Yuchan from the Qiao Family of Zhongnan?" Xiang Luo said, his eyes wide and voice full of astonishment. This unexpected revelation from Xiang Luo left the onlookers confused, not understanding the connection or why Qiao Yuchan was brought up. Su Qiong and Zhou Siyu were completely puzzled, their minds in a whirl. Upon hearing this, Wu Rao's mind wandered off, feeling uneasy. As the legitimate daughter of the fourth most powerful family in the Heavenly Vein, how could she not know Qiao Yuchan? "He's her fiancé?" Wu Rao muttered to herself, her face turning pale and feeling choked up. PS: Starfire just moved back and still needs to tidy up, exhausted.~~~
