"Beast, I'm going to skin you alive!"
Consumed by embarrassment and rage, Xia Fan winced in pain and charged at the Wolf King. His hand, clenched into a tight fist, swung furiously towards the Wolf King.
The Wolf King turned tail and fled. Its two hind legs were sturdy and powerful.
"Little Creep, if you dare, chase after me. And if you catch me, I'll let you skin me."
As he ran, he even turned back to taunt.
His human-like comedic actions left Feng Ling'er and the other girls shaking with laughter.
"Beast, if you dare, stop running."
"Loser, if you dare, come chase."
The Wolf King chuckled as he ran ahead.
Xia Fan furiously gave chase.
A man and a wolf were running circles on the elevated platform.
The audience looked at each other puzzled. What was going on?
Fighting should look like fighting—what was with all this running around?
However, the faces of King Pan and others on stage sank, including the other three major powerhouses. Because it was clear that the Wolf King was mocking Xia Fan.
King Pan called out, "Xia Fan, admit your defeat quickly!"
If he didn't stop this soon, loss of face was one thing, but loss of life would be another matter.
But Xia Fan had shut his ears to all voices. Right now, all he focused on was the Wolf King. His hatred for this despicable beast reached his very marrow! He wouldn't rest until it was dead!
"Hehe."
"You might as well listen to your daddy and admit defeat. You'll never catch up to your Wolf Grandpa."
The Wolf King grinned fiendishly.
"If it's Xia Fan's granddad, isn't it your dad, King Pan? So you're all descended from wolves?" Jiang Zhengyi very seriously asked King Pan.
Jia Hei and others couldn't help but laugh. This beast, although detestable, was indeed acting in a way that endeared him to many.
However, they couldn't help but wonder if this was really the time for comedy? This was supposed to be a competition; could everyone act accordingly?
King Pan, upon being questioned by Jiang Zhengyi, was so angry he nearly went mad. He boomed, "Qin Feiyang, if it continues to speak improperly, don't blame me for becoming unceremonious!"
Qin Feiyang countered, "The Wolf King may be talking nonsense, but aren't your despicable actions even more shameful?"
PTOO! King Pan, overwhelmed by fury, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Qin Feiyang then expressed his concern, "Elder, you must take care of your health. If you were to accidentally kick the bucket, Pan County would lose one of its defining characteristics."
"Defining characteristics?"
Everyone looked at him in puzzlement.
Qin Feiyang laughed, "Isn't his shamelessness one of Pan County's defining characteristics?"
PTOO! King Pan spat out another mouthful of blood, furiously pointing at Qin Feiyang and gasping for air, "You...!"
"Don't 'you' me, I'm just speaking the truth."
Qin Feiyang gave him a lukewarm glance.
The crowd's faces twitched. It seemed King Pan might literally be angered to death today.
"Bastard!"
A furious roar exploded from King Pan. His voice was like a booming bell, resonating throughout the clouds.
The Wolf King and Xia Fan were startled and paused, looking at him in confusion.
"Die!"
Soon enough, Xia Fan regained his composure and once again charged at the Wolf King.
I've had enough of this game. It's time to send this guy to hell, the Wolf King grumbled inwardly. He turned abruptly, employing the Seven Kill Steps to attack Xia Fan.
"Xia Fan, no!"
The old man with white hair stood up abruptly.
All eyes in the arena once again fell on the man and the wolf.
Xia Fan paid no heed. At this point, he had lost all reason and heard nothing.
Man and wolf collided!
Xia Fan went all out, his left hand shot out, his fist thundered towards the Wolf King! His eyes were filled with an astonishing murderous intent!
ROAR!
At the same time, the Wolf King also howled, leapt up with force, and stepped on Xia Fan's fist, then followed up by stepping on his head!
CRACK!
Xia Fan's fist and head split open simultaneously. Blood spurted several meters high, staining the void and the ground red.
As the Wolf King landed, Xia Fan also fell, dead on the spot.
"Fan'er!"
"Brother!"
"Prince!"
King Pan, Xia Qianqian, and the surrounding guards began weeping hysterically.
Qin Feiyang slapped a coffin. The coffin slid quickly, stopping not far in front of the Wolf King.
Then, Qin Feiyang walked over and stood beside Xia Fan's corpse, grabbed his ankle as if he were tossing trash, and tossed him into the coffin.
"Actually, I had this coffin prepared just for him. You can have it for free."
Qin Feiyang gave it a kick, and the coffin slid back in front of King Pan and his daughter.
"Fan'er..."
Unable to take his eyes off the corpse inside, King Pan felt as if his heart were being twisted by a knife, tears flowing endlessly. Xia Fan was not only his son but also his pride, his hope. He had become a Five Star Martial Ancestor before he was twenty; his future prospects were boundless. He could even have gone to the state office to carve out his own future. His status would surely have risen with the tide. But now, all of this had turned into a mirage.
Suddenly! Lifting his head, he stared at Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King, his eyes bloodshot, and he vowed, word by word, "If I don't kill you both, I swear I am not fit to be human!"
As he spoke, the surrounding temperature plummeted as if winter had suddenly descended, and countless onlookers felt a chilling unease.
"Oh?"
"Still want to make a move against us?"
"Truth be told, you killed him with your own hands."
"If you hadn't made that bet with me back then, we wouldn't have obtained the Seven Kill Steps."
"Without the Seven Kill Steps, the Wolf King couldn't have killed Xia Fan, even if he had broken through at the critical moment."
"Perhaps you still don't know, the Seven Kill Steps isn't just a supplementary martial arts technique; it's also a killing technique."
"This is all your own doing. Who can you blame?"
Qin Feiyang sneered coldly. If King Pan hadn't insisted on turning this friendly match into a life-or-death battle, none of these things would've happened.
To take it a step further, if Cheng Ming had shown mercy and spared the Second Prince's life, Jiang Zhengyi certainly wouldn't have allowed the Wolf King to kill Xia Fan now.
You reap what you sow. There's truth in that old saying.
"It was I... I killed him!"
When King Pan heard those words, his whole body trembled. He looked down at Xia Fan in the coffin, a surge of endless resentment, anger, and regret welled up from deep within him.
PTOO!
In the end, he spat out a violent mouthful of blood and collapsed next to the coffin, losing consciousness.
"Father!"
Xia Qianqian quickly crouched down, shaking King Pan's body forcefully, her pale face full of anxiety and panic.
The white-haired elder sighed deeply, looking at the five guards next to him and instructing, "Take them back to the palace."
The five guards nodded and walked behind Xia Qianqian, whispering, "Princess, let's go back first!"
Xia Qianqian slowly stood up. She lifted her head and cast a venomous gaze at Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King. Without uttering a word, she turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Four of the guards carried the coffin while one carried King Pan, following behind Xia Qianqian.
The crowd quickly parted, making a path for them.
Soon, Xia Qianqian and her group disappeared from the crowd's sight.
SWOOSH!!!
All eyes were once again instantly focused on the man and the wolf. There was anger and killing intent in their gaze.
The Wolf King telepathically conveyed in a deep voice, "Xiao Qinzi, you saw the look in Xia the shameless's eyes, didn't you? We can't leave her alive."
Qin Feiyang nodded and asked with concern, "Can you handle it? If you can't, come down and rest."
The Wolf King chuckled, "Don't worry. Since my breakthrough, Brother Wolf is full of vigor and in high spirits."
"Alright, you continue."
Qin Feiyang shook his head in amusement and returned to their group.
As for the countless glaring eyes around, the man and the wolf simply ignored them.
"Next!"
The Wolf King stood in the middle of the field, his aura immense, like a supreme Beast Emperor descended upon the world,睥睨ing all before him.
The remaining people from Pan County didn't even dare to meet its eyes. Deep in their hearts, an unshakeable terror spread!
The white-haired elder didn't hurriedly draw the next challenger's lot; instead, he conferred in hushed tones with the Hall Masters of the Martial King Palace and Elixir King Palace of Pan County.
Jiang Zhengyi glanced at the three of them, then turned his head to Qin Feiyang and asked, "The Wolf King is alright, isn't he?"
He was a bit worried since the Wolf King had initially been battered so severely.
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, "If it says it's fine, then it must be fine."
"Seems like we won't be needed for the rest of the match," Feng Ling'er shook her head somewhat regrettably.
"Sweeping all the talents of Pan County, Brother Wolf is certainly stealing the show today," Zhao Shuang'er laughed, her clear, beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light.
To think, back when they first met in Iron Bull Town, struggling to survive, who would've thought they would achieve such feats today? That old saying, 'never judge a book by its cover,' certainly rings true.
As if remembering something, Jiang Zhengyi suddenly asked, "Qin Feiyang, didn't you say just now that the Seven Kill Steps is not only a supplementary martial arts technique but also a killing technique?"
Qin Feiyang nodded.
The First Prince and the others couldn't help but gasp. A perfect martial arts technique that combined both support and killing was something they had heard of for the first time.
Jiang Zhengyi also found it somewhat incredible, shaking his head and sighing, "You two really lucked out. However, your feud with King Pan is now deeply set. You must be careful in the future."
"We should still be able to protect ourselves," Qin Feiyang thought for a moment and said with a light smile.
Jiang Zhengyi said, "Just don't be careless. Once this battle is over, I'll take you back to Yan Province immediately."
Upon hearing this, Jia Hei's eyes instantly sparkled.
"Sigh!"
At this moment, the three bigwigs of Pan County sighed in unison. Their faces were etched with deep unwillingness.
Jiang Zhengyi turned his head and said casually, "Have you finished your discussion? Could you please not waste our time?"
The white-haired old man gave a bitter smile, stood up, and announced loudly, "After our discussion, we have unanimously decided that the competition will end here. The winner of the competition is Yan Province."
The few who had not yet competed all heaved a sigh of relief.
The crowd below also fell silent, with no one voicing any objections. Because the result was already clear. Even Xia Fan, who was regarded as number one, had died under that wolf's claws. How could the others possibly be its match? Continuing to compete was meaningless.
"Admitting defeat already?"
"That's too boring."
The Wolf King grumbled, not yet having had his fill.
"But, this also proves that Brother Wolf is too fierce, too awesome! All those so-called geniuses were scared out of their wits by Brother Wolf!"
It chuckled again, strutting proudly towards Qin Feiyang and the others.
"Brother Wolf triumphed over the so-called champions, leaving them quaking in their boots! What are you underlings waiting for? Hurry up and welcome your Brother Wolf!"
"Don't be too dazzled by Brother Wolf's handsome charm."
The Wolf King said pridefully.
Jiang Zhengyi and the others' faces twitched. Feng Ling'er and the other girls couldn't help rolling their eyes.
This Rogue Wolf was not only shameless but also extremely narcissistic.
