Chapter 997: Stop Blabbering, Get Up Here

Everyone in the Heaven Earth Sect was dumbfounded at this moment.

This formidable man had suppressed Dao Wentian, shocking the entire sect, and now he was directly pressing the divine sons, asking if they submitted.

When had they ever seen such overbearingness?

Even Dao Wentian wouldn't dare to be so domineering.

The nine divine sons standing there, upon hearing these words, their faces changed drastically, anger surging on their faces.

Yet facing such a forceful Lin Fan, no one dared to speak.

"Submit or not? Could it be that the so-called divine sons of the Heaven Earth Sect don't even have the courage to speak?" Lin Fan said sharply.

Ling Wuzun wanted to curse loudly but held back; it wasn't that he didn't want to, but he dared not.

The other divine sons were burning with rage inside; they wanted to say something, but it felt as if their throats were blocked, unable to utter a sound.

Elder Huo, seeing the scene before him, was furious beyond endurance.

Especially Dao Wentian, who had been knocked unconscious directly, now lying there like a dead dog.

Some disciples around wanted to step forward but dared not.

The elders seated beside the sect leader wore expressions of astonishment.

"Incredible, the Heaven Earth Sect actually has such a disciple," an elder exclaimed.

"Should we stop this? If it continues, something big might happen," an elder said worriedly.

"Why stop him? If he has the skill to cause trouble, why not? Although we weren't this arrogant before, we weren't far off," a hot-tempered elder said.

"The sect leader isn't here this time; he'll surely regret it. The Heaven Earth Sect is truly favored by heaven, producing such a disciple. If he grows up, he'll be a major pillar of the sect."

"The Divine Origin Sect once had a Qin Shengjun, suppressing our Heaven Earth Sect. Now that our sect has such a disciple, why worry about turning the tables?"

"Let's keep watching; as long as no one dies, it's fine. The current divine sons are all arrogant and complacent, unaware that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. Let this little fellow stir things up a bit."

...

"Enough, you disciple are too reckless. This is the sect tournament, not a place for you to run wild," Elder Huo said angrily.

This fellow had already infuriated him by vindicating Qing Yangzi, and now he was provoking the other nine divine sons.

Moreover, one of the divine sons was closely related to him; how could he let this fellow be so reckless?

Now that Elder Huo had spoken, some disciples around thought the matter would end there.

But what they didn't expect was that this overbearing senior brother would become even more domineering.

Lin Fan's expression hardened, staring straight at Elder Huo, "Hmph, if you have any objections, come up here."

"How dare you!"

Elder Huo roared; he hadn't expected this disciple to dare provoke him.

"Words are useless; don't just talk big. If you disagree, come up; otherwise, shut up," Lin Fan said.

Li Qing, watching the scene, couldn't help but swallow.

"Elder Qing Yangzi, is this really okay?" Li Qing was dumbfounded. He had always thought Senior Brother Lin was low-key, but now this was simply overbearing to the extreme—if you disagree, you fight; there was no one like him.

Su Hongchen, Hu Qing, Ru Wanshu, and others looked at each other, trembling with fear. Terrifying, truly terrifying.

This was not the Junior Brother Lin they knew.

No, now they should call him Senior Brother Lin.

The foremost divine son.

Qing Yangzi had been excited at first, but now he was scared stiff.

He knew Lin Fan was strong, a disciple with great potential, but he never expected him to be this powerful—or rather, freakishly so.

Elder Huo was now thoroughly enraged. If a disciple dared to be so insolent toward him, how could he command respect in the future?

Elder Huo moved, a red light flashed, and in an instant, he appeared on the martial stage.

His red hair fluttered, and a狂暴 aura pressed down. All the disciples knew that Elder Huo was truly angry now.

Facing Elder Huo's resentful gaze, Lin Fan remained calm, "What, want to kill me?"

"On the martial stage, provoking an elder is a grave offense. Today, even if I beat you to ashes, no one will blame me," Elder Huo said, his murderous intent toward Lin Fan clear.

This kid's strength exceeded Elder Huo's expectations.

Being able to suppress Dao Wentian, if he were kept alive, he might become a great threat in the future. If possible, he truly wished to crush him to death.

"Haha, provoking an elder? Then why did Dao Wentian dare to provoke Qing Yangzi?" Lin Fan said disdainfully.

"Dao Wentian is a divine son, his strength surpassing the True Immortal realm," Elder Huo roared.

"Dao Wentian has been defeated by me, and now I am the sect's divine son. Today, I challenge you and will suppress you on this martial stage," Lin Fan said, exuding dominance.

Elder Huo's strength was far greater than Qing Yangzi's, especially since his original form was a Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit. His innate flames were extremely powerful, reputed to be an inextinguishable divine fire.

In alchemy and artifact forging, he was far superior to ordinary people, all thanks to this innate divine fire.

Now, the duel between Elder Huo and Lin Fan made all disciples hold their breath; they felt this match might be the pinnacle of all battles.

"Do you think that just because you suppressed Dao Wentian, you can act lawlessly? Today, I'll show you that in the Heaven Earth Sect, there are still many you should fear."

Swish!

A red light shot into the sky.

Elder Huo shook his hands; his originally aged hands suddenly turned bright red, the scorching heat distorting the void.

This was Elder Huo's technique.

"Burning Palm."

Anyone who touched it would be burned by the blazing flames; even with magical power protecting the body, it was useless, because the flames could burn even magical power to ashes.

True Immortal mid-stage.

Ancient Realm great perfection.

The gap between them was huge, very huge.

Even a peerless genius wouldn't dare claim to suppress an opponent across several realms.

"Ha!"

At that moment, Elder Huo let out a fierce shout, and a tremendous aura burst forth. The True Immortal laws activated, and magical power surged endlessly.

"You used one move to suppress Dao Wentian; now I'll make you understand how I suppress you with one palm," Elder Huo said coldly, then moved.

Like a humanoid blazing sun, he illuminated the entire arena.

Lin Fan focused, then struck a palm toward Elder Huo. Though fast, to Elder Huo, it was nothing.

He struck empty air.

"Slow, too slow. With your strength, you can't even touch the hem of my robe."

Elder Huo seemed to vanish; if not for the lingering heat, one would think no one was there.

"Is that so?" Lin Fan sneered, standing still without any movement, as if stunned by Elder Huo's strength.

Just then, a smile appeared on Lin Fan's lips.

"Found you."

In an instant, without even looking, Lin Fan punched toward the void.
