Chapter 336, Fanatic Fights Sword God

Editor: Elitecoder

Boom!

The ringing from the boom had yet to stop, forcing the people to cover their ears. The thick dust had Zhuo Fan and Yan Fu obscured within it.

Huangpu Tianyuan’s team of four finally landed while coughing blood. The respective house elders surrounded their house lords and checked their wounds.

But Huangpu Tianyuan flicked his sleeve, shooing the elder before him aside. His eyes peered into the dust and he spat, “Who the hell dares to interfere in the Regent Estate’s affairs?”

Fang Qiubai and Dugu Zhantian looked towards the commotion with a frown.

They knew who it was, but they were baffled why that man was on Zhuo Fan’s side.

The rest of the houses watched intently. They were all dying to know at this point. Who had the nerve to save Zhuo Fan from the clutches of Regent Estate?

Once the dust settled, somewhat, it revealed an imposing physique. An outstandish old man, poised and his back straight, stood in front of Zhuo Fan. His tyrannical aura bent on crushing everyone in his path hung heavy over everyone’s hearts.

He was none other than one of the rare top Radiant Stage experts in Tianyu.

“Mad Dipper, Li Jingtian!”

A Regent Estate elder shouted, “Elder Li, you are a guest Venerable of ours. Where have you been over the past few years? Why are you suddenly siding with that punk? He is the Regent Estate’s greatest enemy!”

Those words set the crowd reeling.

The mystery expert was Regent Estate’s Venerable, the living legend, Mad Dipper Li Jingtian?

He truly lived up to his name, respected and feared both.

Fang Qiubai and Dugu Zhantian were startled as well. Nobody knew of Li Jingtian’s strength before, but the vibes he was sending deterred even the mighty Divine Dragon!

“Elder Li!”

A cry sounded, making the eyes of everyone land on Luo Yunchang. To everyone’s shock, she ran to Li Jingtian’s side and patted his chest, “Thanks to your timely arrival, Zhuo Fan is safe!”

Twitching, everyone looked puzzled, the seven house lords included.

[What’s that Lu miss doing being so friendly with that savage fiend?]

Li Jingtian’s reaction however got a priceless expression out of them all.

“Ha-ha-ha, young miss, relax. Nothing will happen to Steward Zhuo, not when he has such a cunning nature.” Li Jingtian laughed.

The people went slack jawed.

[Say… what? Young miss… Steward Zhuo…]

[Tell me it isn’t true! How, why, when? The Luo clan is just a third rate upstart clan. How in the hell did they manage to entice that old freak Mad Dipper to become their Venerable instead?]

[That makes the Luo clan practically on par with the seven houses!]

[Ha-ha-ha, we must be tripping. That Mad Dipper must’ve been conned into helping them just like Zhuo Fan did with Dugu Zhantian. There’s absolutely no way, not in a million years for him to be on their side.]

[Then again, seeing how the punk’s methods were quite all encompassing, the kid could practically turn everyone into his backers.]

Sighing, the crowd’s opinion of Zhuo Fan jumped again and again.

And that went for everyone there, from no name clans, to the seven house lords. Since having a backer and joining them were totally different things.

A backer was good as a makeshift safeguard, but by joining the clan wholly, the man could both defend and attack in need, turning the clan into a force to be reckoned with.

Zhuo Fan was great, no doubt, but not even he could pull a peak Radiant Stage expert to his side, to join a third rate clan no less. That was simply ludicrous!

Long Yifey and the rest shook their heads. [We must be overthinking things.] If Li Jingtian was their Venerable, then the Luo clan was a match for the seven houses…

A truly cruel and delicious irony how everyone was denying the truth staring them dead in their faces. Depending on the viewpoint, of course.

“Elder Li, what’s the meaning of this? You may be friends with the punk, but clan matters come first. You need to address this with utmost severity. Why are you stopping me from taking revenge for my son?” Huangpu Tianyuan raved.

Squinting, Li Jingtian laughed, “Ha-ha-ha, Estate Lord Huangpu, that’s exactly right. I of course take the clan’s interests into heavy consideration. That is why, as Luo clan’s elder, I cannot allow you to touch one hair of our steward.”

Dong!

A bomb went off in all of their heads. They felt their minds swoon after being smacked with a copper bell right in the noggin. Reeling from shock, they looked at Li Jingtian gobsmacked.

[The Mad Dipper actually joined the Luo clan! And… and he’s just a friggin’ elder!]

[As if!]

[Are you high? Did you just get up and quit the prestigious position of a guest Venerable over at Regent Estate to become a mere elder for a third rate clan?]

Huangpu Tianyuan stammered all this time. Leng Wuchang twirled his beard and asked, “Elder Li, why?”

“Humph, isn’t it obvious? There was nothing holding me back, no incentive at all. I dumped Regent Estate for the Luo clan because they can give me something you can’t!” Li Jingtian smiled with pride.

Now that definitely got a shocking reaction.

The grandiose head of houses was dumped over a tiny clan? That had got to be the joke of the century!

Hearing it from anyone else, it would earn a couple of laughs. But it came directly from the source, Mad Dipper himself.

A peak Radiant Stage expert abandoned all those benefits and downshifted to become some elder? Why the hell would he do that if there was nothing in it for him?

It begged the question though, what could the Luo clan hold to make Mad Dipper wipe his hands off of the Regent Estate?

All eyes were on Zhuo Fan. Everyone knew that only one man was capable of making the old demon switch camps. He definitely had a hand in this.

[But even then, getting him to change sides was a godlike move! How did he do it?]

Long Jiu sighed, [I knew the kid is an expert at stealing other’s foundations. Fortunately, we are a tight knit house or even our experts would’ve fallen for his bewitching promises.]

Unaware as he was that Zhuo Fan wouldn’t take them even if they were given for free.

Moving past the standard reaction of shock everyone showed today, Li Jingtian turned to the one-armed Zhuo Fan with a heart broken expression. Taking him into a bear hug, the man spoke solemnly, “Steward Zhuo, what are your orders?”

Zhuo Fan glanced over to the Regent Estate and said, “No one from the Regent Estate leaves this place alive.”

The cold and insipid tone rang into people’s ears.

[The demon is that cruel to go ahead and wipe out all Regent Estate’s elders?]

Mad Dipper was no fool. Doing so was declaring war with the head of the houses. This was not a game.

Zhuo Fan was consumed by his hatred and desire for revenge. With Li Jingtian being Regent Estate’s Venerable once, he should still have some lingering feelings left over for his ex employer. Now that he was a mere elder, he should think about the clan’s needs and not follow the demon steward’s ramblings.

Li Jingtian simply patted his shoulder and turned to Regent Estate’s men with a look that promised death and agony. He was hellbent on murdering anyone to fulfill Zhuo Fan’s design.

[He’s nuts! The entire Luo clan is going along with Zhuo Fan’s madness!]

After a quick sigh of lamentation, everyone scampered off. Noone wanted to be here and suffer a quick death when a Radiant Stage expert went on a murdering spree.

Long Yifey thought about advising against it. But Zhuo Fan and Li Jingtian’s determined gazes made him falter. All he could do was follow his clansmen in getting away from here.

It was then that Li Jingtian kicked it off with a bang. The power and the pressure were that of a mountain coming down on you. Huangpu Tianyuan and his thirty-ish elder’s group gasped, but found even breathing hard. They couldn’t even fight back.

This was the power of a peak Radiant Stage expert. These guys were nothing but ants to Li Jingtian.

But then, a boom announced the approach of a man in white, facing off Li Jingtian with a palm attack.

Boom!

The world felt like it was falling apart as the two palms collided. All anyone could do was duck their heads and cover their ears.

Long Yifey and the rest of the Profound Heaven experts were feeling horrible just the same. They covered their ears and stood up a bit, but if the flowing sweat was any indication, they had to be feeling just as powerless as their neighbors if they were to face these palms instead.

Tap~

The two withdrew five steps. Looking up, the one facing Li Jingtian was none other than Jade Flute Divine Sword, Fang Qiubai.

Cupping his hands, Fang Qiubai spoke, “Mad Dipper Li Jingtian, your name precedes you.”

“One of the imperial family’s five Divine Dragons, Jade Flute Divine Sword Fang Qiubai. I’ve long since waited for this. One glance is enough to tell me of your uncommon character. But are you certain you want to go head to head with me?”

Li Jingtian smiled, his eyes exploding with bloodthirst. The martial fanatic in him reared its head, fueling his desire to fight….
