628: Chapter 617: Who Dares to Stop Me!
“Hahaha, just let your son marry someone else, I’m taking Qiuran away, no need for farewells!”
Ning Fan, with an arrogant tone filled with a hint of mockery, was already embracing Huo Qiuran at the entrance of the church, making a move to leave without intending to deal with the Huo Family and the Shangguan Family members.
“Qiuran, if you dare to leave with this boy, then from now on, never set foot in the Huo Family’s door again, let alone claim to be a member of the Huo Family.
I will no longer acknowledge you as my daughter!”
Huo Yuanshan shouted angrily.
How could he explain to the Shangguan Family if Huo Qiuran were to run away?
Moreover, it wasn’t just about facing the criticism from the Shangguan Family, but both the Huo Family and the Shangguan Family would become the subject of jokes.
The news of someone stealing a bride on their territories would surely make many laugh themselves sick.
Huo Yuanshan shouldn’t have spoken, but with his words, Huo Qiuran had completely lost hope in the Huo Family.
She turned to glare angrily at Huo Yuanshan and spoke confidently, “I have examined my conscience and as a daughter and a family member, I have done nothing to shame the Huo Family.
Since you pressure me so, I will never step into the Huo Family’s door again!”
At this moment, Qiuran felt nothing but raging anger towards the Huo Family, a family that only spoke of benefits and was indifferent in affection, suffocating her.
After being pressured again and again, Qiuran had reached her limit.
She wasn’t a tool of the family, but a person who had the right to fight for her own happiness!
This family, if not entering, then not entering!
“Unfilial daughter, dare you repeat what you just said!”
Huo Yuanshan’s eyes widened, he was nearly passed out in anger from Qiuran’s words.
However, Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran ignored them, stepping boldly out of the church, ready to leave.
“Did I arrive just a step late, or did I catch this just in time?”
Just as they were about to leave, a Taoist calmly walked up to Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran, looking relaxed as he faced the two.
Ning Fan, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly moved away with Huo Qiuran from this person, a highly skilled expert!
At the same time, Shangguan Tenglong and others also chased out, and upon seeing the Taoist, a look of joy finally appeared on their gloomy faces.
“Hahaha, heaven favors us too, big brother, you finally came back!”
The Taoist turned out to be Shangguan Tenglong’s older brother!
Ning Fan did not dare to underestimate him, watching the man warily.
“Oh, it seems I arrived just in time.
Boy, where exactly are you planning to take the bride?”
The Taoist, also known as Shangguan Tanglong, Shangguan Tenglong’s older brother, looked at Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran with a cold smirk.
This man was the former Family Head of the Shangguan Family.
After he handed over his position to Shangguan Tenglong, he had spent his time wandering the seas.
Besides, he was a guardian of the Shangguan Family, a highly skilled expert, considered a unique asset by the Shangguan Family!
“Hmph, this rascal is trying to abduct your niece by marriage, big brother.
Quick, take this guy down!”
Shangguan Tenglong looked triumphantly at Ning Fan, others might not be aware of Shangguan Tanglong’s strength, but as his brother, how could he not know?
It should be noted that Shangguan Tanglong was a master who had reached the Half-step True Origin Realm—the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm!
With one foot already stepped into the True Origin Realm, capturing Ning Fan would be a cinch!
“I see, if that’s the case, then I cannot let you leave just like that!”
Shangguan Tanglong held a horsetail whisk and struck directly at Ning Fan’s head.
Ning Fan’s heart sank as he felt an immense pressure approaching, and he quickly embraced Huo Qiuran and jumped aside.
With a boom, the horsetail whisk struck the ground, creating a large crater, and dust filled the air, but Shangguan Tanglong’s figure had disappeared.
Ning Fan quickly set down Huo Qiuran and turned around to throw a punch.
With a thud, his fist struck the horsetail whisk that Shangguan Tanglong, who had appeared behind him, swung.
The moment Ning Fan’s fist contacted the horsetail whisk, a tremendous force transferred to him, causing Ning Fan’s expression to drastically change.
He was pushed back about three or four steps, whereas Shangguan Tanglong only retreated half a step.
But that half-step was extremely shocking to Shangguan Tanglong and the other Martial Artists watching.
“Boy, it seems that this Taoist underestimated you.
To possess such strength at such a young age is indeed impressive, but unfortunately, you cannot leave today!”
Shangguan Tanglong was at the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm, while Ning Fan had only just entered the Object-Manipulating Realm.
Few Martial Artists of his age had entered the Object-Manipulating Realm.
They were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Yet, being only at the early stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm, he could contest with him, showing boundless potential and an immeasurable future.
Because of this, Shangguan Tanglong could not let Ning Fan go.
Allowing him to leave would be planting a calamity for the Shangguan Family!
Ning Fan shook his somewhat numb fist, looking at Shangguan Tanglong with great wariness.
This person was a master whose strength was not on the same level as his.
It was a close call just now, Ning Fan almost suffered internal injuries.
“I must leave today, even you cannot stop me!”
Ning Fan looked at Shangguan Tanglong defiantly, not losing confidence even though his opponent was a high-level master at the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm.
Shangguan Tanglong’s eyes sparkled for a moment as he sized up Ning Fan.
He coldly laughed and said, “Good, good, good!”
After exclaiming three times, it was unclear whether Shangguan Tanglong was praising Ning Fan’s commendable courage or if he was saying Ning Fan was fearless of death.
Either way, today he would not let Ning Fan leave.
The next second, he brandished the horsetail whisk and charged toward Ning Fan.
“Die now!”
Shangguan Tanglong’s movements were extremely ruthless, and with a flick of his horsetail whisk, what was once supple instantly stood up like sharp spikes.
His strong True Qi even permeated the whisk, assaulting Ning Fan.
Ning Fan dared not meet the force head-on but instead resorted to evasion, temporarily sidestepping the sharp edge.
Dodging around Shangguan Tanglong initially had some effect, but it wasn’t long before Shangguan Tanglong found an opening and struck Ning Fan’s chest with his palm.
Ning Fan grunted, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, enduring the palm strike without retreating a single step.
Instead, he concentrated all his True Qi into his palm, forming a vortex, and punched Shangguan Tanglong’s chest.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Shangguan Tanglong was pushed back by Ning Fan’s powerful Pure Yang Qi.
He rubbed his chest, his face pale as he began to cough.
Ning Fan’s punch had given him a suffocating sensation.
How long had it been since he had last come across someone who could injure him?
Shangguan Tanglong thought darkly, looking at Ning Fan with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
Just a junior in the Object-Manipulating Realm, yet he managed to injure him.
Even though it was costly for both sides, Shangguan Tanglong had to admit that Ning Fan’s mindset was truly beyond the ordinary.
Most Martial Artists would flee upon encountering someone stronger, let alone stand and fight!
Now he had truly underestimated his opponent, who, despite his young age, possessed such formidable strength.
It was truly terrifying!
