Chapter 51: Is this also called a talisman?

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Is this also called a talisman?

Zhao Cheng clutched his face, stunned.

Qi Rushan’s eyes filled with terror, and he subconsciously stepped back two paces, "This kid is a Celestial Master, how... how is that possible!"

Su Qingyan’s beautiful eyes widened to their fullest, the aloof goddess revealing a rare look of astonishment, "Master Chen... this guy has actually been deceiving me all this time, damn it!"

The people present were all shaking with shock.

Those who had been clamoring to kick Chen Fan out were pale-faced, sweating profusely, and subconsciously hid behind the crowd.

The first to question Chen Fan about the invitation, Master Wang, walked up to Chen Fan with a look of bewilderment and knelt down with a thud, "Celestial Master, please forgive me!"

Chen Fan snorted coldly, ignoring Master Wang, and walked up to Zhao Cheng, "You said you wanted to find a Celestial Master as a backer, right? Now I’m standing right in front of you, what benefits do you plan to use to bribe me?"

Zhao Cheng’s legs gave way, and he sat down on the ground, "You... how can you be a Celestial Master? A month ago, you were simply a Son-in-law, just one month has passed, how did you do it?"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "You guess."

Then he turned his head to look at Qi Rushan.

Qi Rushan shuddered and swallowed his saliva.

"Yunwu Villas’ Heavenly Evil Formation, was it arranged by you!" Chen Fan questioned Qi Rushan in front of everyone, he needed a legitimate reason to eliminate this evil-doer.

His voice contained the might of a Divine Skills ’Imperial Decree,’ which entered Qi Rushan’s ears, making it impossible for him to lie.

"It... it was me who arranged it." Qi Rushan’s sweat poured down, he didn’t know what came over him. Upon hearing Chen Fan’s question, he instinctively wanted to tell the truth.

The people around all wore expressions of horror.

Wu Tiangang looked at Qi Rushan in disbelief, "It was actually your doing! And to think I considered you a friend, your acting skills are truly excellent!"

"The Heavenly Evil Formation, that’s an extremely vile and evil art; I can’t believe Qi Rushan was secretly refining such a Formation, is he not afraid of being struck by lightning!" someone yelled.

"That Resentful Spirit Puppet, did you make it?" Chen Fan continued to ask.

Qi Rushan gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes... yes!"

"And the Cursed Buddha Beads Zhao Cheng gave to others, were they also provided by you?"

"Yes." Qi Rushan gave up resisting and lowered his head in admission.

The shock on everyone’s faces intensified.

"Resentful Spirit Puppets, Cursed Buddha Beads, these are items of extreme yin and evil; Qi Rushan must have fallen into the evil path, irredeemable!"

Chen Fan looked at the crowd, "Everyone has heard it, this man is tainted by the evil path and has done many wicked deeds, who knows how many people he harmed. Today, I will enforce justice on the spot in front of you all, in order to maintain the proper conduct of Cultivators!"

Quite a few people around were looking forward to seeing the Celestial Master take action.

However, some began to doubt Chen Fan.

"This Celestial Master is only about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, which is quite young. Cultivators seek understanding of heaven and earth, relying on the accumulation of time and experience. I’ve never heard of anyone reaching the Dao Entering realm in their twenties. Could this Celestial Master be just a puppet promoted by Master Wu?"

"There is some truth to that. Although Master Wu guaranteed Li Wei’s certainty, I also have doubts about this person’s strength."

"Qi Rushan is after all at half-step into the Dao Entering state. If this Master Chen is just a front, he’s probably no match for Qi Rushan, right? Then his decision to provoke Qi Rushan would be very unwise."

...

Qi Rushan’s face changed drastically, and he immediately tried to flee.

He reached into his chest, pulled out five talismans, and threw them at Chen Fan.

Then he shouted, "Explode!"

In an instant, Chen Fan was engulfed by the forces of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Those around who saw this gasped in alarm.

"It’s the Five Elements Talismans! Qi Rushan has reached such profound levels, if he were given more time, he might truly enter the Dao!"

Chen Fan, feeling the power of the Five Elements around him, snorted coldly, took a deep breath, and actually absorbed all the power of the Five Elements Talismans into his stomach.

"This shoddy thing, worthy of being called a talisman?" Chen Fan spoke coldly.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"He actually... swallowed the power of the Five Elements Talismans, this..." A cultivator who doubted Chen Fan’s true level was dumbfounded.

Qi Rushan’s expression was one of horror, realizing that Chen Fan’s ability to resolve his talisman last time was not due to luck.

He didn’t dare to continue the magical contest and employed Daoist Magic, imbuing his legs with a burst of power, attempting to escape at the fastest speed.

Chen Fan raised his hand, and a triangular talisman appeared in his palm.

Thunder Talisman!

"Let you see what a real talisman is!"

He threw the talisman towards Qi Rushan, who was attempting to flee.

Above the banquet hall’s ceiling, a mass of thunderclouds suddenly formed, followed by a lightning strike that directly hit Qi Rushan.

No matter how fast Qi Rushan was, he couldn’t outrun lightning.

Just as he reached the entrance, the lightning struck him.

Bang!

An explosion resounded.

The whole banquet hall burst into light, forcing everyone to cover their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, Qi Rushan had turned into a charred corpse, and the wall at the entrance, along with the door, was blasted into a terrifying hole.

All eyes were on Chen Fan, filled with awe.

Now they all believed that this 26 or 27-year-old young man was truly a Celestial Master!

Chen Fan looked at Qi Rushan, who had been blasted into a charred corpse by the Thunder Talisman, with violently fluctuating emotions.

This was his first time killing someone, and naturally, he couldn’t be without feeling.

But thinking of Qi Rushan’s numerous evils, that nauseating feeling inside him lessened considerably.

He circulated the Void Body Refining Skills to calm his state of mind, and in the blink of an eye, his state of mind was as serene as still water.

Chen Fan walked over to Wu Tiangang, "The corpse of Qi Rushan, I’ll leave it to you."

Wu Tiangang nodded gravely, "Master, rest assured, I will take care of this matter!"

Chen Fan looked around and noticed that Zhao Cheng was no longer there. He asked, "Where’s Zhao Cheng?"

Wu Tiangang also hurriedly looked around, then said with an embarrassed face, "Everyone’s attention was on Qi Rushan just now, Zhao Cheng probably ran off during that time. I will send someone to capture him right away!"

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Never mind, let’s proceed with the banquet."

Wu Tiangang could only nod.

The crowd gathered around Chen Fan to converse, their attitudes extremely respectful.

Chen Fan asked some questions about cultivators, and the answers he received from those present were all things Chen Fan knew, which made him feel quite disappointed.

"It seems to learn more about cultivators, I need to seek out those who have entered the Dao," Chen Fan muttered to himself.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and wearing glasses approached Chen Fan and handed him a business card, "Master Chen, I am a cultivator enthusiast and also an antique merchant."

"I will be holding an antique auction next week, would Master Chen be interested?"
