Chapter 211: Chapter 211 The Dark Red Bead

Chen Fan grabbed Zuo Qianqiu by the neck, "You clearly could have saved your life, why didn’t you cherish it?"

Zuo Qianqiu’s face instantly turned red, he tried to summon his strength to resist, but found that all his power was completely locked, Chen Fan was much stronger than he had imagined.

His eyes filled with terror as he looked at Chen Fan, "If you... if you kill me, my boss will never let you off!"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, "Then I’ll just kill your boss as well!"

With that, he squeezed hard, snapping Zuo Qianqiu’s neck.

Zuo Qianqiu’s body immediately went limp, and Chen Fan tossed it onto the ground as if discarding trash.

The crowd was somewhat silent.

But soon someone shouted loudly, "Well killed!"

The others quickly echoed in agreement.

The scene once again erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

Chen Fan paid no attention to the crowd’s reaction, he released his Divine Sense, scanning over Zuo Qianqiu’s corpse, and quickly discovered something peculiar.

He bent down and felt around on Zuo Qianqiu’s body, pulling out a dark red bead, "What is this?"

After examining the dark red bead for a while without understanding what it was, Chen Fan put it away, then returned to Li Chengfeng and the others.

Li Chengfeng was staring blankly at him.

A smile appeared on Chen Fan’s face as he asked, "Senior, do I now have the qualifications to be the champion of this Martial Arts conference?"

Li Chengfeng snapped back to his senses, his face showing a trace of embarrassment, "Chen Fan, I underestimated you. Not only are you the champion of this Martial Arts conference, but if you want to be part of the alliance’s high-ranking officials, absolutely no one would dare to oppose it!"

"Do you want to join the alliance with me? With your strength and talent, you’ll definitely hold a high position after entering the alliance. In time, you could be the next Wei Wuwei!"

Chen Fan smiled and clasped his hands together, "I appreciate your kind offer, but I’m used to being free, I don’t like being constrained. Joining the Martial Arts Alliance is not for me, just give me the award for being the champion of this Martial Arts conference."

Seeing Chen Fan’s refusal, Li Chengfeng was filled with disappointment, but he didn’t insist, and then said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll have someone bring that Thousand-Year Elixir to you shortly."

He patted Chen Fan on the shoulder, "I used to think you were reaching too high going after Mu Tianxiong’s granddaughter, but now seeing your potential, I think you are completely worthy!"

Chen Fan just smiled, "Thank you."

Li Chengfeng then said, "However, since you’ve killed the Blood Blade’s second-in-command, they will definitely not let this go. Are you really not considering joining the alliance? If you join, Blood Blade won’t dare touch you."

Chen Fan appeared indifferent, "If they fail to recognize what’s good for them, then I don’t mind taking out this so-called Blood Blade altogether."

Li Chengfeng drew a sharp breath, he wanted to say that Chen Fan’s words were too arrogant, as Blood Blade, a notorious and powerful organization, was not so easily wiped out.

But recalling the numerous things Chen Fan had done that were beyond his understanding, he didn’t voice his objection.

Before long, a staff member brought over a jade box containing the Thousand-Year Elixir.

...

In the spectator stands, Xiao Qiang and Wang Yun were still in shock.

Song Qian was brimming with excitement, turning her head to look at them and said proudly, "I told you Chen Fan was amazing. Now do you believe me?"

Xiao Qiang gave an embarrassed smile, "Believe... I believe."

At this moment, a staff member came over and said to Xiao Qiang, "Mr. Chen asked you to come over."

Xiao Qiang was startled and pointed to himself, "Me?"

The staff member nodded.

At once, Xiao Qiang felt extremely uneasy. He turned to glance at Song Qian with a bit of regret for having targeted her.

Not daring to say anything, he stood up and followed the staff member.

Song Qian looked puzzled, "What does Chen Fan want with him?"

Xiao Qiang followed the staff member to where Chen Fan was and as soon as he approached, he began nodding and bowing, saying, "Brother Chen Fan, I’m really sorry. I didn’t realize you were so powerful. I didn’t think before I spoke, please don’t mind my earlier words."

Chen Fan stared at him as if seeing through his soul, "You were targeting Song Qian, weren’t you?"

Xiao Qiang stiffened, then quickly denied, "How could that be? Song Qian and I are just good friends. Although I indeed like her a bit, I would never target her."

Chen Fan extended two fingers and pressed them against Xiao Qiang’s chest, intimidating him, "The supreme power I’ve gathered on these two fingers—just a gentle press, and there’ll be a big hole in your chest. Are you sure you haven’t been targeting Song Qian?"

Xiao Qiang’s legs went weak with fear, and he fell to his knees with a thump, nearly wetting his pants, "Big brother, I was wrong. I won’t dare do it again. I just got carried away with lust, but I swear I’ve completely dropped the idea now. If I had known Song Qian was your woman, not even under threat of death would I have targeted her!"

Chen Fan was speechless. Since when had Song Qian become his woman?

However, he didn’t explain and said, "I have already injected a power into your body just now. No matter where you are, as soon as you have any wicked thoughts, I’ll be able to sense it, and then I’ll detonate the power inside you. You understand what to do from now on, right?"

Xiao Qiang’s face instantly went pale as paper, then he said stiffly, "I... I understand."

Chen Fan nodded. His words were meant to scare Xiao Qiang. Without a warning, this kind of person might harm others again someday.

"Tell Song Qian I don’t have time to have dinner with her. I’ll invite her after I return to Jiangbei later. Now get lost."

Xiao Qiang hurriedly got up and scuttled away from there.

Chen Fan glanced at the jade box in his hand, his face showing a trace of excitement, "With this Thousand-Year Elixir, I should be able to break through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."

He didn’t want to waste any more time. Nearly half of the year he had agreed upon with Mu Tianxiong had already passed. He must seize every moment to enhance his strength, only then could he face Su Qingyan in the Capital with sufficient confidence after a year.

The Tang Family.

Chen Fan and Tang Yuanshan, Tang Wenxuan, and Tang Qingwu returned to the residence together.

Chen Fan said to Tang Yuanshan with a cupped fist salute, "I need to seclude myself in your house for a while; I hope Old Mr. Tang can accommodate me."

Tang Yuanshan laughed heartily, "Why the formality with me? Seventy percent of the Tang Family’s assets are in your hands. We’re already family. If you want this house, I can have it transferred to your name right now."

Chen Fan was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to tell if Tang Yuanshan was genuinely being friendly or making a mockery of him.

After giving a few brief instructions, he took the Thousand-Year Elixir back to his room and closed the door.

"The Thousand-Year Elixir is a rare treasure even in the Cultivation World, with immeasurable power contained within. It’s uncertain to what extent this Spiritual Medicine can help me break through."

Chen Fan placed the jade box on the table, then took out a Breakthrough Pill and a bottle of Innate Spiritual Liquid.

Yet, he didn’t rush to break through and instead took out the dark red bead he had obtained from Zuo Qianqiu.
