647: Chapter 636: Do You Know How Annoying You Are!
The setting sun dipped below the horizon, casting the entirety of Jiangcheng in a glow of red twilight.
Members of the Shangguan Family moved swiftly about, a gathering of experts under the scarlet sky.
Reflecting the sunset, a coffin shone onto Shangguan Tenglong’s face.
“Ning Fan, you actually dare to return?!”
Shangguan Tenglong, looking at the coffin at the entrance of the hall, was so furious that his eyes bulged and his teeth itched with rage.
At his side, Shangguan Tanglong gaped at Ning Fan, his eyes momentarily betraying a flicker of apprehension.
“This coffin was prepared especially for you.
I personally delivered it to your doorstep, are you satisfied?”
Ning Fan curled his lips into a smile, ignoring Shangguan Tenglong’s furious expression and the hostile gazes surrounding him, and stared directly into his rival’s eyes, his own eyes mocking.
This coffin was Ning Fan’s greeting gift.
If Shangguan Tenglong were to die today, then this coffin was indeed meant for him, but if Ning Fan were to be defeated, one could also say the coffin was meant for himself.
However, Ning Fan had come here full of confidence, so in his view, this coffin was prepared for the members of the Shangguan Family.
“Good, very good, I want to see just whom this coffin is prepared for!”
With a sweeping gesture from Shangguan Tenglong, the crowd that had already surrounded Ning Fan charged towards him.
“As if you could do anything to me, even a hundred more of you wouldn’t be enough!”
Ning Fan sneered and burst forth a wave of True Qi from within his body, knocking back several of those who approached him.
These were merely a group of martial artists in the True Qi Realm, nothing but cannon fodder for Ning Fan.
Grabbing one by the head, Ning Fan used him as a human club, swinging him around and sending one person after another flying.
“All of you, get out of my way!”
Ning Fan tore a path through the crowd and then charged towards Shangguan Tenglong.
The Twin Evils of the Object-Manipulating Realm of the Shangguan Family had long been waiting, and as Ning Fan approached, they moved to protect their Family Head.
“Kill him!” Shangguan Tenglong watched as his family members lay scattered haphazardly on the ground, his eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing he could dismember Ning Fan.
The Twin Evils cautiously watched Ning Fan, attacking him from both sides.
Dealing with these two, Ning Fan finally took the situation seriously; after all, both were experts in the Object-Manipulating Realm, and he could not be careless.
However, Ning Fan’s power had grown significantly; he was no longer in the early stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm but had advanced to the intermediate stage.
Today, dealing with the Twin Evils would not be as troublesome as last time, nor would he need to resort to using poisons against them.
The Twin Evils, wary of their previous encounter, engaged in fierce battle with Ning Fan, constantly on guard against any poisons he might use against them as before.
“Got you!”
Ning Fan called out coldly, grabbing one’s arm and pulling forcefully, slamming him to the ground.
This was an accidental trick, as he had not intended to use poison this time, but the Twin Evils were still on guard against his previous tactics.
This caution made the Twin Evils overly wary each time they approached Ning Fan, never daring to underestimate the threat of his Silver Needle.
With a loud thud, Ning Fan’s foot stomped down on the arm of one of the Twin Evils, eliciting a scream — his arm was crushed under Ning Fan’s foot.
“Aaahhhh!”
The agonizing screams echoed through the Shangguan mansion; Ning Fan watched coldly as he dealt with one of the Twin Evils.
He did not stop there but quickly moved to subdue the other’s partner.
“Object-Manipulating Twin Evils, no more than this!”
Ning Fan disdainfully looked at the Twin Evils of Object-Manipulating realm beneath his foot and with one forceful step, he crippled their arms.
The two Martial Artists from Shangguan Family were disabled by Ning Fan in such a manner, and the people of the Shangguan Family watched Ning Fan agape.
“Now, who’s next?”
Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, first glancing at Shangguan Tenglong whose face turned dark with rage, then turning to look at Shangguan Tanglong, who maintained his composure throughout.
Standing in front of them, Ning Fan confronted them, neither party moving.
Ning Fan observed both while Shangguan Tanglong also scrutinized Ning Fan.
Compared to Shangguan Tenglong, who was nearly bursting with rage like the Three Corpses God, Shangguan Tanglong, the former Family Head and now the protector of the clan, was obviously much calmer.
He did not rashly advance toward Ning Fan, but instead, was carefully searching for changes in Ning Fan’s demeanor.
It was so strange, too strange, this youth who was merely at the Early Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm a few days ago had grown to the Intermediate Stage so swiftly.
What exactly had happened?
Shangguan Tanglong was very curious about how Ning Fan had achieved such growth.
Advancing in realm was not as easy as merely talking about it; he had struggled half his life and had barely reached the Peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm, but Ning Fan’s emergence was like a dream.
Such advancements within a few days from someone already rare in the Object-Manipulating Realm to the Intermediate Stage was utterly inconceivable!
“It seems I’ve underestimated this young man…” Shangguan Tanglong sighed internally, feeling his murderous intent for Ning Fan rising another level.
Ning Fan’s potential had already sparked jealousy.
With such achievements at his age, what would the future hold?
More importantly, Ning Fan seemed unwilling to reconcile with them, so leaving such a menace was bad for the Shangguan Family.
There had to be a conclusion between them today—it was either Ning Fan’s death or the Shangguan Family’s status plummeting.
“Ning, die for me!”
“Yunyang, no, you are no match for him!”
The enraged Shangguan Yunyang burst out from the crowd.
The first son of the Shangguan Family had lost his composure completely.
Upon seeing Ning Fan, all he felt was a raging fire in his heart.
Ning Fan had abducted Huo Qiuran, a humiliation that had almost developed into a demon of the heart; Shangguan Yunyang was no longer the graceful figure of the past but more like a crazed, tormented madman.
As Shangguan Yunyang prepared to attack Ning Fan, Shangguan Tenglong’s first reaction was to halt him.
Shangguan Yunyang was only at the True Qi Realm, while Ning Fan was at the Object-Manipulating Realm—hadn’t the previous lesson been deep enough?
Shangguan Yunyang was no match for Ning Fan!
However, the current Shangguan Yunyang couldn’t be persuaded and instead was completely infuriated by his father’s words.
He would not accept this!
Shangguan Yunyang, who had always stood at the pinnacle among his peers, saw his pride shattered upon encountering Ning Fan.
Why could Ning Fan step into the Object-Manipulating Realm at such an age?
Shangguan Yunyang, supported by the Shangguan Family with numerous resources, was still only at the True Qi Realm?
Unwilling to accept this, the ugly feeling stemming from jealousy distorted Shangguan Yunyang’s face as he recklessly charged at Ning Fan.
“Do you know how annoying you are?”
Ning Fan looked coldly at Shangguan Yunyang and swung out his hand, sending Shangguan Yunyang flying with a slap.
