Chapter 474 - No Escape from Punishment
“Chen Fan, will you show me some face and spare his life!”
The Great Chu Empire’s emperor, Chu JIngcai, had appeared. The crowd was momentarily stunned by his appearance before erupting into a commotion.
“It’s Lord Chu; he’s here.”
The royalty did not intervene when the Qin Clan members were being slaughtered, but Chu Jingcai showed up when Chen Fan was about to execute Qin Wudi. He asked Chen Fan to show him some face and spare Qin Wudi.
However, would Chen Fan honor this request?
Chen Fan looked up at Chu Jingcai, narrowing his gaze.
“Lord Chu?”
Unfamiliar with the ties between the Qin Clan and the royal family, he replied coolly, “Are you also going to stop me from killing Qin Wudi? As the emperor of the Great Chu Empire, you must be aware of my standing in the Spring Autumn Sect. Are you prepared to become my enemy for Qin Wudi’s sake?
“Let me make this clear. After I kill Duan Jingtian, I will become the next leader of the Spring Autumn Sect. Are you sure you want to cross me over Qin Wudi?”
Chen Fan showed no fear of Chu Jingcai despite his imperial status. Instead, his tone carried a thick intent of threat.
“I’m sure you know why I want to kill Qin Wudi and wipe out the Qin Clan. He used his status to issue a killing order and nearly killed my parents. I must avenge this; no one can stop me, not even you, Lord Chu,” Chen Fan said decisively, leaving no room for negotiation. “I can forgive the others, but not Qin Wudi. He must die.
“You are at the ninth level, so I will have difficulty killing him if you decide to intervene. But you must consider the consequences of such an action. You could try to kill me; honestly, while I’m no match for you, I can easily escape."
The crowd was speechless at Chen Fan’s bold stance against the Great Chu Empire’s ruler. It was almost as if he was threatening him.
They could understand him, though.
Even though Lord Chu was the ruler and could control their lives, he couldn’t control Chen Fan, a holy disciple of the powerful Spring Autumn Sect.
The Spring Autumn Sect wasn’t a small, second or third-rate sect, but a prominent great sect with two Divine Nascent realm powerhouses.
Not even the royal family could afford to mess with them, so they had to weigh the pros and cons of offending them.
To have his golden core shattered was to become trash, plummeting from heaven to hell in an instant. It truly was worse than killing him.
“Chen Fan, just kill me if you have the guts!” Qin Wudi roared furiously, his eyes red with rage.
Chen Fan smiled coldly and said, “Hoho, I really don’t want to kill you now. Wasting your cultivation and throwing you off from the clouds down to the deep abyss will be better than just killing you outright!”
“You dream on! I’d rather self-destruct than let you cripple my cultivation!” said Qin Wudi as he prepared to detonate his golden core.
“Thinking of self-destructing in front of me? You’re overestimating yourself, Qin Wudi!”
With a swish, Chen Fan appeared in front of Qin Wudi as if he had teleported and sent out a palm strike.
“You wish!”
Qin Wudi’s face twisted, still trying to struggle.
However, how could he possibly struggle in front of Chen Fan?
With a dull breaking sound, Chen Fan’s palm strike crushed all of Qin Wudi’s defenses and struck his dantian. Chen Fan’s strength rushed in and wreaked havoc, shattering his golden core.
Qin Wudi immediately let out a miserable scream. His aura rapidly declined, and he quickly aged.
Watching this scene unfold, countless people shuddered fiercely.
The once-powerful Qin Wudi had his golden core shattered and his cultivation crippled, falling from greatness to the depths of despair. It was like a nightmare.
No one in the entire imperial city would have thought that the Qin Clan’s patriarch, Qin Wudi, would one day become a cripple.
Many felt a pang of pity for Qin Wudi.
As a martial artist, losing one's cultivation was worse than death. It was a fate more cruel than killing.
A high and mighty expert who had control over the life and death of others became a weakling, subject to bullying and humiliation overnight. This stark contrast could break a person’s mind and drive them mad.
There was no more effective way to destroy someone than to crush their spirit.
