Chapter 417: Target: Grandmaster

Huangfu Cheng took the Life Water Chen Fan handed him and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

He believed Chen Fan's words from the bottom of his heart.

After the Life Water poured into his body, the injuries on Huangfu Cheng's skin began to heal visibly to the naked eye.

Chen Fan then took out a Scarlet Flower.

"Teacher Huangfu, this is a Scarlet Flower, a holy medicine for the soul. It is enough to stabilize your collapsing Sea of Consciousness. However, taking it for the first time will cause you to fall into a dream; do not be alarmed."

"This... is too precious!" Huangfu Cheng had heard of this item and hesitated slightly.

"Teacher Huangfu, please accept it. Your kindness to me is worth far more than this single Scarlet Flower," Chen Fan said sincerely.

"Alright!" Huangfu Cheng was not a pretentious man; he took it from Chen Fan's hand and swallowed it in a few gulps.

Not long after, he fell into a coma.

Just as Chen Fan was about to lean down to pick him up, Zhang Kun's voice sounded from behind him.

"Let me do it." Zhang Kun walked up, limping.

"Chen Fan, the citizens of Changan City are still waiting for you, waiting for their hero. Go on ahead." As Zhang Kun brushed past Chen Fan, he patted Chen Fan's shoulder, the corners of his mouth unable to stop curling upward.

Chen Fan was someone he had personally recruited into the National Martial Arts University; this was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime.

Chen Fan looked up into the air, where Chen Yuanjie was waiting for him.

Chen Fan flew up and arrived opposite Chen Yuanjie.

At this moment, on the ground below, countless people looked up at the sky, their gazes fervent, shouting "Fan God" at the top of their lungs.

"Chen Fan, on behalf of the National Martial Arts University and Changan City, I thank you!" Chen Yuanjie bowed deeply toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan hurriedly stepped aside to avoid it and helped him up.

He shook his head bitterly and said, "Principal, you are shaming me. This incident started because of me; it is I who implicated Changan City..."

"No!" Chen Yuanjie saw through Chen Fan's inner knot and interrupted him: "Chen Fan, you killed the Tiger Venerable; you are a hero of Daxia, a hero of all humanity! No one can blame you or resent you for this, because what you did was right."

"No one blames me..." Chen Fan murmured these words, and the gloom in his heart over these past few days dissipated rapidly.

That's right, he killed those who deserved to be killed; what was wrong with that? If he were to be held back by fear of the Beast Worship Cult's retaliation, then humanity would never be able to defeat the Beast Worship Cult or the Ghost Race.

"Thank you, Principal!" Chen Fan bowed respectfully.

He knew that Chen Yuanjie was deliberately guiding him.

Chen Yuanjie patted his shoulder, feeling extremely gratified.

"Chen Fan, the entire Changan City is in ruins; I'm afraid we have no way to host a banquet to thank you, our hero." Chen Yuanjie looked down at the entire Changan City and sighed in his heart.

Chen Fan also sighed, "Principal Chen, what are you saying? This is the place where I went to school; it counts as my second hometown. How could there be any talk of thanks?"

Chen Yuanjie was extremely gratified. He smiled and said, "Marshal Ye sent people to inquire everywhere about the Attribute Divine Thunder these past two days; I assume you need it?"

"That's right. Could it be that the Principal knows where there is Attribute Divine Thunder?" Chen Fan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Chen Yuanjie said with a smile: "I don't know if you have heard of the Other-dimensional Space called Longyuan?"

"Longyuan?" Chen Fan was surprised, "Could it be the Other-dimensional Space where our National Martial Arts University previously discovered a dragon egg?"

"Correct!" Chen Yuanjie nodded.

"What kind of Attribute Divine Thunder is it?" Chen Fan asked urgently.

"That divine thunder is called the Wuya Heavy Heaven Thunder! Every strand of the thunder is as heavy as ten thousand jun!"

"Wuya Heavy Heaven Thunder." Chen Fan chewed on these words, his eyes growing brighter.

His Indestructible Tribulation Heart already granted him a powerful physique; it was most suitable for mastering this kind of Attribute Divine Thunder.

"Principal, do you know where in Longyuan this Attribute Divine Thunder is located?"

Chen Yuanjie condensed a pale golden light pattern at his fingertip, just about to outline the detailed location of the Longyuan Secret Realm, when suddenly, the military wristwatch on Chen Fan's wrist emitted a rapid buzzing sound.

"Principal, wait a moment!" Chen Fan frowned slightly. He had only set special message alerts for two people on his military wristwatch: one was Ye Wentian, and the other was Liang Zhongshu.

Moreover, these two generally would not contact him via the military wristwatch; whenever they did, it was definitely for something extremely urgent.

Chen Fan tapped the screen; it was a video call initiated by Liang Zhongshu.

"Xiao Fan, it's bad. The Beast Worship Cult is about to make a move on Bing City! I've sent you a video; take a look," Liang Zhongshu said in a very urgent tone.

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat; he hurriedly tapped to open the video, and the video image appeared.

The background of the image was a dead, silent wasteland. A figure clad in black battle armor slowly turned around. This person's posture was as straight as a pine, and a head of scarlet long hair moved without wind.

His eyes were pure ink-black, with not a trace of white visible, and his entire body was shrouded in a faint black evil aura. Even though it was just a video image, it made Chen Fan feel a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of the Tiger Venerable, and the Indestructible Tribulation Heart within his body trembled slightly of its own accord.

"Chen Fan!" that figure spoke, the voice carrying a chill that pierced the soul, "This Venerable has already selected the next target—Bing City."

His smile grew increasingly ferocious, "Five days from now, this Venerable will lead the Beast Worship Cult army to descend upon Bing City. If you have the guts, come alone to face the battle."

"If you dare not come, or if you attempt to unite with the Daxia military to set an ambush, this Venerable will slaughter the entire Bing City!" The black-armored figure paused, his voice suddenly rising, carrying an unquestionable ruthlessness, "Millions of people, the old, the weak, the women, and the children—not a single one will be left!"

At the end of the video, the black-armored figure's entire world seemed to turn into a sea of fire.

The video ended abruptly, but the evil aura remaining in the air did not dissipate for a long time. Chen Fan's complexion was gloomy to the extreme, the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low, and monstrous rage and killing intent surged in the depths of his eyes.

Because Wang Yanran was in Bing City, and Chen Tongtong was there too; it absolutely could not be allowed to fall.

The people on the ground also seemed to sense that something was wrong; the previously fervent shouting gradually subsided, and one by one, they looked toward Chen Fan in the sky with worry.

"Beast Worship Cult, you truly deserve to die!" Chen Fan gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse.

Liang Zhongshu heard Chen Fan's anger and hurriedly said: "Chen Fan, it is very clear that this is a blatant scheme by the Beast Worship Cult. They want you to fight alone so they can easily kill you."

"Furthermore, this black-armored man is also one of the Bishops of the Beast Worship Cult, known as the Fire Venerable! His strength is at the late stage of Martial Saint; you are absolutely no match for him..."

"I know!" Chen Fan interrupted Liang Zhongshu, his eyes as gloomy as water: "But I must go. Doesn't the Beast Worship Cult want to kill me? Perfect, I also want to kill them."

"You are no match for him!"

"Not now, but that doesn't mean I won't be in five days!" Chen Fan insisted stubbornly.

Liang Zhongshu wanted to say something more, but Chen Fan hung up his call.

He looked at Chen Yuanjie and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart: "Principal, you can tell me the location of the Wuya Heavy Heaven Thunder now."

"Chen Fan, you..." Chen Yuanjie saw that Chen Fan's state was not right and also tried to comfort him.

"Principal, I am fine. I am very calm. It's just a late-stage Martial Saint; I have my own ways!"

Chen Yuanjie looked at Chen Fan's determined gaze; for some reason, he inexplicably believed Chen Fan's words.

"Alright, I will tell you that location..." ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
