655: Chapter 644: Is It Your Place to Speak?
At the Shangguan Family estate, Ning Fan stood high above Shangguan Tanglong and his people, a faint smile playing on his lips that made him look extremely arrogant.
After receiving the news from Huo Qiuran, Ning Fan rushed to Jiangcheng, wanting to see for himself what this piece of Holy Medicine Shangguan Tanglong had brought back looked like.
With the arrival of Ning Fan, the faces of the people from the Shangguan Family turned as pale as dead wax, and one by one, they all put on very ugly expressions.
“How can you be here?!”
The speaker was Shangguan Yunyang, who, with a face full of anger, pointed at Ning Fan, displaying an accusatory attitude.
The originally joyful atmosphere was shattered with Ning Fan’s appearance, and the scene immediately became tense and profoundly solemn.
Since Ning Fan’s departure from the Shangguan Family, it had only been three days, but with the account of new grudges and old, the Shangguan Family’s hatred for Ning Fan was unmatched.
If a list were to be made now, Ning Fan would definitely be the most hated person by the entire Shangguan Family, without a doubt.
“Do you have the right to speak here?” Ning Fan looked towards Shangguan Yunyang with a cold indifference, his icy gaze chilling to the bone.
Shangguan Yunyang initially wanted to say something more, but when he met Ning Fan’s cold gaze, it was as though he had fallen into an icy cave, feeling not a trace of warmth in his entire body, frozen stiff on the spot.
“Step back!”
Shangguan Tanglong waved his hand mightily, pushing Shangguan Yunyang behind him.
After all, Ning Fan was an expert of the Object-Manipulating Realm, not on the same level as a Martial Artist from the True Qi Realm like Shangguan Yunyang, who was far too inadequate in the face of Ning Fan’s aura.
“Ning Fan, what are you doing here at my Shangguan Family?
Do you really think my Shangguan Family is so easy to provoke?!”
Shangguan Tanglong bellowed in anger, aiming the Buddha Dust at Ning Fan, while simultaneously hiding the Holy Medicine in his hands.
Ning Fan noticed his slight movement and couldn’t help but mock, “Shangguan Tanglong, there’s no use hiding.
I’m here today for the Holy Medicine in your hands!”
Without any redundant words, he made his intentions clear straight away.
Ning Fan wasn’t afraid of angering them, facing a group attack from these people.
“If you want the Holy Medicine in my hands, then let’s see if you have the ability!”
Shangguan Tanglong’s face changed as he inwardly cursed who could have leaked the information, allowing Ning Fan to know about it.
After Ning Fan’s last commotion at the Shangguan Family, many were severely injured, the Twin Evils of Object-Manipulating were crippled, and even the Family Head, Shangguan Tenglong, was confined to his bed due to a damaged spine, resulting in heavy losses for the entire family, which now desperately needed to recover its Vital Energy.
Now, this piece of Holy Medicine was the key to whether the Shangguan Family could recover their Vital Energy, and Shangguan Tanglong could not possibly hand it over.
Ning Fan was also fully aware of this, and today he came brazenly to rob it.
“Is that so, then I’ll give it a try!”
No sooner had Ning Fan’s words fallen than he leapt down from the rooftop.
A dark figure landed in front of Shangguan Tanglong, moving as fast as lightning, striking directly at Shangguan Tanglong’s waist.
“So fast!”
Shangguan Tanglong was astonished, not expecting that Ning Fan’s strength had grown again over the past few days, and he felt the pressure intensify.
“Help, quick!”
Seeing Ning Fan taking action, Shangguan Yunyang hurriedly called out, directing others to assist.
Shangguan Tanglong, however, was not relieved by their help, but instead couldn’t help cursing, “What are you doing up here, roll down!”
Do you think this isn’t troublesome enough?
They were no match for Ning Fan, not even Shangguan Tanglong felt a tremendous pressure dealing with him, let alone these juniors who were only in the True Qi Realm.
They were not helping by stepping in; they were making things worse!
The corner of Ning Fan’s mouth turned up.
Although Shangguan Tanglong shouted quickly, it was already too late!
In the blink of an eye, four or five members of the Shangguan Family lay on the ground, unable to get up.
“You’re next!”
Ning Fan did not rush to strike at Shangguan Tanglong; instead, he pulled Shangguan Yunyang over and punched the meddlesome, chattering nuisance to the ground.
The entire Shangguan Family was in disarray, with misery everywhere.
Ning Fan’s arrival brought “liveliness” back to the place.
Shangguan Tanglong, holding the Buddha Dust, darkened his expression and charged quickly towards Ning Fan, shouting, “Stop!”
Ning Fan curled his lip, turned around, and grabbed the Buddha Dust, snatching it from the other’s grasp.
Shangguan Tanglong only felt a massive force tug; the Buddha Dust slipped from his hand, and his palm stung fiercely, his face filled with shock and horror.
After seizing the Buddha Dust, Ning Fan swung it at Shangguan Tanglong; with a loud boom, the ground cratered where it struck, but Shangguan Tanglong’s figure appeared mid-air.
“Quite fast at running away, aren’t you!”
Ning Fan let out a cold laugh and casually tossed aside the Buddha Dust in his hand.
Seeing his precious item treated like trash and thrown to the ground by Ning Fan, Shangguan Tanglong clenched his fists hard and involuntarily glanced at his waist.
The Holy Medicine must not fall into Ning Fan’s hands; other matters were secondary.
Shangguan Tanglong was prepared to protect the Holy Medicine at all costs, even death.
“Ning Fan, you’ve already caused chaos in my Shangguan Family, why must you push us so hard!”
After stabilizing himself on the ground, Shangguan Tanglong shouted with intense emotion.
“Do you think there is still a chance for us to make peace?” Ning Fan mocked, looking at Shangguan Tanglong, “Are you being naive, or am I thinking too much?
Don’t you know in your heart?”
If Ning Fan didn’t have his current strength, why would Shangguan Tanglong bother to talk nonsense with him at this point?
In dealing with enemies, Ning Fan was not known for his mercy; the fact that he hadn’t slaughtered the entire Shangguan Family was already showing restraint.
Of course, the situation was already torturous for the Shangguan Family, and with Shangguan Tanglong present, it was somewhat difficult for Ning Fan to deal with them one by one.
From the day Ning Fan had taken Qiuran away, their relationship was destined to be a fight to the death.
Now to talk about not pushing each other to the brink—why hadn’t the Shangguan Family done that before?
“Shangguan Tanglong, save your breath.
If you can drive me away today, the Spiritual Medicine will still be yours.
Otherwise, I am determined to obtain the Spiritual Medicine today!”
Ning Fan, stepping on a member of the Shangguan Family, shouted defiantly at Shangguan Tanglong, his momentum unparalleled.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Tanglong’s face changed, his expression fluctuating, as he had no choice but to prepare himself to confront Ning Fan.
“Since you insist on extermination, then I, Shangguan Tanglong, must also defend the dignity of the Shangguan Family to the death, Ning Fan!!!”
Shangguan Tanglong took out the Holy Medicine from his waist and set it aside, fearing that the precious medicine, hard-won, might be implicated during the fight with Ning Fan, and that whether Ning Fan won or he did, if the medicine were lost, all would be lost.
“Uncle!” Shangguan Yunyang struggled to his feet from the ground and called out, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
