806: Chapter 795: Yunteng Second Elder 806: Chapter 795: Yunteng Second Elder “Your aim is there, but your strength still falls a bit short!”
Ning Fan gritted his teeth, grimacing as he used his left hand to rub his chest.
He coldly said to Teng Bei, his voice containing a hint of approval, tinged with regret.
For Teng Bei, Ning Fan’s approval and regret were nothing short of an insult.
No matter what Ning Fan said, the fact remained unchanged.
Despite Teng Bei’s all-out strike just now, he couldn’t hinder Ning Fan, only causing him a brief delay of a few seconds.
However, Ning Fan’s approval was genuine.
Teng Bei had, in a flash of inspiration, forcibly twisted his body, narrowly evading Ning Fan’s deadly sword strike.
If not for Teng Bei’s quick reflexes, the bloody hole on his body wouldn’t have been on his shoulder but rather his heart, in which case he would have become yet another ghost under Ning Fan’s sword.
With his right hand drooping, Teng Bei’s face was deathly pale.
His right hand was now unusable, effectively crippled, yet he still stubbornly stood in front of Teng Zhuhai.
“Ning Fan, you are still human, after all.
I’d like to see how long your True Qi can hold out!”
Teng Zhuhai mocked at this moment, catching Ning Fan by surprise.
Ning Fan wasn’t surprised by Teng Zhuhai’s words but by the reaction of Teng Bei and the others.
Treated as mere tools, the members of the Yunteng family said nothing, seemingly accepting their fate, embodying a willingness to become cannon fodder for the family’s sake.
Their resolve left Ning Fan somewhat regretful, prompting a sigh of pity from him…
Whether it was Teng Bei or others like Teng Nan, who lay seriously injured, or those clan members of the Yunteng family who could still stand, the family was like the sky to them.
If the sky fell, then they would lose the meaning to live.
Thus, they would rather expend their final efforts for the family to continue thriving, burning the last of their value.
This concept had been ingrained in their consciousness from an early age.
Regarding this concept, Ning Fan found it hard to judge, unable to say if he liked or disliked it.
Even though he knew such things were unkind and cold, different stances made it difficult for him to evaluate.
But he could understand one thing —
The Yunteng family was Ning Fan’s enemy!
This was a fact that could not be changed now.
Ning Fan needed to pay no mind to anything else, understanding only this!
From Yunteng’s perspective, Ning Fan was now a thorn in their side, a flesh in their eyes, even a critical figure concerning the family’s future existence.
Similarly, he was in Ning Fan’s perspective…
“I don’t know how long I’ll last, but the ones who will die first will certainly be you!”
Ning Fan sneered, not rushing to recklessly expend True Qi for a massive slaughter with powerful Sword Radiance.
Previously, when using the Soft Sword, he had only employed pure swordsmanship.
After suffering losses at the Shangguan family before, Ning Fan had learned his lesson.
Although his True Qi was more than double that of the average person, maintaining Sword Radiance or barely executing Sword Qi less than a fingernail’s breadth still consumed a significant amount.
Therefore, he cherished his True Qi dearly.
Against those in the True Qi Realm, mere martial artists, Ning Fan did not need to use Sword Radiance, relying on swordsmanship alone to crush them directly; they were not worth him wasting True Qi.
Thus, Ning Fan had been holding back.
Seeing Teng Zhuhai about to play tricks again, the ridicule on his face grew, as if he wasn’t some naive fool who would stumble over the same stone twice.
“Hmph, I’d like to see how long you can endure!”
“So much nonsense.
If you want to fight, just fight.
What’s the use of all this pointless talk?”
Ning Fan poked his ear in disdain, glaring at Teng Zhuhai with disdain, leaving these useless words for King Yan to hear.
He had no time to listen to Teng Zhuhai’s endless drivel here.
“Is that so?
Our Yunteng family has never feared anyone!”
Suddenly, a steady, weighty voice came from outside the hall, and an old man with crane-white hair walked in.
Despite being over half a century old, he was vigorous and didn’t look like an old man at all.
“It’s the Second Elder!”
“Great, the Second Elder is here too.
Let’s see how arrogant this guy can be now!”
“Go die, you!”
Ning Fan squinted, his gaze shifting to the Second Elder, realizing this old fellow was the Second Elder of the Yunteng family.
Seeing a Second Elder pop out like this, Ning Fan wondered if there would be a Third Elder or a Fourth Elder next.
Wouldn’t that be endless?
He hoped there wouldn’t be so much trouble, but it was just as well, a chance to take them out all at once.
“Second Elder?
Let me ask, are there any Third Elders or Fourth Elders?
If there are, come out all at once.
I don’t have time to waste with you all one by one.
After handling you, I still need to return to accompany my wife!”
These words ignited immense fury among all in the Yunteng family, especially Teng Zhuhai and the Second Elder, whose faces were black as coal at this moment.
“Hmph, you insolent youth dare to stir up trouble at my Yunteng family?
Let’s see what skills you truly have!”
The Second Elder spoke somberly to Ning Fan, angered by Ning Fan’s previous statement.
He was the last surviving elder of the Yunteng family, with all other senior figures long gone.
As mentioned before, the Evil Gu was a crooked, dangerous path, with few meeting a timely end.
With all older generations passed, the only significant person elder to Teng Zhuhai in Yunteng was this Second Elder.
His appearance made the Yunteng family feel as though they had grasped a lifeline, almost ready to shout in joy.
Seeing everyone’s excitement, Ning Fan’s face remained disdainful, but in his heart, he was on guard.
They say one becomes a fox as they age, and in the Jianghu, the most formidable are those monstrous beings who lived beyond a hundred years.
Though this Second Elder of Yunteng might not be that exaggerated, Ning Fan knew he needed to be cautious.
“Uncle, you’ve finally arrived!”
Teng Zhuhai’s face lit up with joy, promptly shouting to the Second Elder.
With his presence, Teng Zhuhai’s confidence grew.
Although this Second Elder’s accomplishments weren’t high, having reached the peak of the Object-Manipulating Realm for years and secluded himself without any breakthrough, his decades of accumulated foundation were no joke.
Perhaps his presence might indeed change Yunteng’s current plight and repel Ning Fan.
“I just emerged from seclusion and have reached the Half-step True Origin Realm.
You, an insolent youth, dare act wantonly before me?!”
