"Is there no one in the vast Shangguan Family who can fight?"
Ning Fan stood on the rooftop, pointing down at Shangguan Tenglong and the others, calling out with a disdainful voice arrogantly.
Shangguan Tanglong was only two meters away from him, while the people below, including Shangguan Tenglong, looked up at Ning Fan with righteous indignation.
Ning Fan had been exchanging blows until now, and he was still more than a match for Shangguan Tanglong. Facing an opponent whose realm was a whole level higher than his, he had not fallen behind. On the contrary, he had gained the upper hand.
"You brat, don't be arrogant!"
Seeing his family insulted, Shangguan Tanglong became furious and charged at Ning Fan with the Buddha Dust in hand.
As Ning Fan saw that he had provoked him, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his gaze quickly locked onto the figure of Shangguan Tanglong.
Shangguan Tanglong moved with the ferocity of a tiger, and the Buddha Dust seemed like a long sword as it thrust towards Ning Fan, bringing a gust of wind and an imposing pressure with it.
But his lapse was precisely exposed in Ning Fan's eyes.
"Die!" Shangguan Tanglong shouted, but he failed to notice the sly look in Ning Fan's eyes.
A figure fell from the sky and crashed into one of the Shangguan Family's own—it was Shangguan Tanglong!
Shangguan Tenglong hadn't expected that Ning Fan would kick his big brother, the Shangguan Family's top expert, off the rooftop with a single kick.
Standing on the rooftop, Ning Fan kicked off a roof tile, and the sharp edge immediately elicited screams.
Blood flowed on the ground as the shattered tiles sliced the faces of several people, and a few of them were even stabbed in the abdomen, falling to the ground bleeding profusely.
Shangguan Tenglong, seeing his clan members injured and his son's thigh pierced by a tile, had his eyes turn blood red. He roared and leaped up towards Ning Fan but all his efforts were in vain.
At the same time, Shangguan Tanglong had just gotten up from the ground, only to see his brother rushing towards Ning Fan.
How could Shangguan Tenglong be a match for Ning Fan? Having exchanged blows with Ning Fan, Shangguan Tanglong was very clear about Ning Fan's strength. If even he was no match for Ning Fan, not to mention Shangguan Tenglong, who was only at the early stages of the Object-Manipulating Realm.
As expected, the moment Shangguan Tenglong jumped onto the rooftop and was about to strike at Ning Fan, Ning Fan let out a disdainful sneer. He swiftly moved behind Shangguan Tenglong and punched him in the spine.
Blood spurted from Shangguan Tenglong's mouth as his body plummeted to the ground like a meteor.
Seeing the grim turn of events, Shangguan Tanglong immediately moved, running towards Shangguan Tenglong's falling figure and finally catching him.
A tremendous force travelled through Shangguan Tenglong's body towards Shangguan Tanglong's hands, which caused his expression to change. He slid back several meters while holding Shangguan Tenglong's body before finally steadying himself.
The Shangguan Family was in complete disarray, with numerous young talents and martial artists lying on the ground screaming. The one who caused all this stood high on the rooftop, looking down below with a hint of a cold smile on his lips.
Shangguan Tanglong laid the severely injured and bleeding Shangguan Tenglong on the ground, and as he saw wails of agony engulfing the area, with one family member after another falling grievously to the ground, his eyes a bloody red, he looked up at Ning Fan's figure with hatred seething in his gaze.
"Ning Fan, the humiliation of today, my Shangguan Family will absolutely not forget!"
Although Shangguan Tanglong was furious, he had not lost his reason; he was well aware that trying to keep Ning Fan here today was nothing short of a fool's dream.
Even he was helpless against Ning Fan, let alone anyone else in the Shangguan Family.
From atop the roof, Ning Fan curled his lips, dug at his ear with a finger, and mockingly gazed at Shangguan Tanglong and the others, laughing out loud, "Hahaha, look at you now, like a dog who has lost its home, huh?"
"You!" Shangguan Tanglong, with a trembling finger pointing at Ning Fan, distorted his face into a ferocious mask that clashed with his otherwise sage-like demeanor, now more akin to a man enveloped in vengeance.
Ning Fan chuckled softly, looking at the Shangguan Family's lamentable state with utter delight, feeling completely satisfied, he then laughed madly, turned his head, and strode away.
At this moment, Shangguan Tanglong and the others could only watch helplessly as Ning Fan swaggered off, unable to do anything.
Following this battle, the Shangguan Family's masters were countless in their injuries, especially Shangguan Tenglong, the Family Head, who had now fainted.
And Shangguan Tanglong's appearance wasn't much better; he had almost fainted from anger due to Ning Fan.
"Ning Fan, this vengeance shall not go unavenged; I, Shangguan Tanglong, would face the thunder's wrath if I don't repay today's humiliation two-fold!"
Shangguan Tanglong's roar echoed endlessly over the Shangguan mansion.
In Zhonghai City, within Huo Qiuran's home, she was currently holding her phone, her stunning face clouded with gloom.
"I have nothing to do with the Huo Family anymore!"
Huo Qiuran said coldly.
On the other end of the phone was a call from the Huo Family, and the person speaking directly to her was none other than her own biological father, Huo Yuanshan!
An hour after Ning Fan entered the Shangguan Family, Huo Yuanshan learned of the situation there and decided to make this call, hoping to use Huo Qiuran's connection to stop Ning Fan from pursuing the Huo Family any further.
"Qiuran, I am your father after all, blood is thicker than water; are you just going to stand by and watch us die?"
Huo Yuanshan pleaded sorrowfully, with another voice audible beside him, but the Huo Qiuran on this end could not make it out.
Huo Yuanshan, who was far away in Jiangcheng, had learned from the family servants about Ning Fan's rampage in the Shangguan Family, which resulted in significant losses for them, while Ning Fan had made his exit unscathed.
After today, the reputation of the Shangguan Family in Jiangcheng would be in tatters; they had suffered numerous injuries during their confrontation with Ning Fan, with the Twin Evils of the Object-Manipulating Realm crippled by him, and the Family Head Shangguan Tenglong severely injured and on the brink of life and death.
Having learned this, Huo Yuanshan became even more anxious; if the Shangguan Family fell, the Huo Family would also be implicated.
In a bid to secure a lifeline for the Huo Family, Huo Yuanshan had no choice but to swallow his pride, thickening his face to plead with Huo Qiuran.
"Qiuran, the past mistakes were my fault, and if you really hate me, then hate me; I could even die to atone for my sins! But the Huo Family is innocent!"
Huo Yuanshan was crying as if his heart would break, and Huo Qiuran almost believed his deceptive words.
Wasn't it the same as the last time he forced a marriage? Pressuring her with his own death, claiming the importance of family interests, saying that if Huo Qiuran didn't marry into the other family, Huo Yuanshan would die to show her.
And it was the same this time, incessantly saying he could die to atone for his sins, but Huo Yuanshan knew better than anyone that Huo Qiuran would never truly want him to atone with his death.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
