Best Young Master

Chapter 1955: Chapter 1820: When One Prospers, All Rise

Too deceitful!

The young generation below the stage angrily discussed, all feeling that Xingtian was too much; killing a person shouldn’t involve this kind of humiliation to one’s opponent.

Even quite a few of the older cultivators secretly furrowed their brows, thinking Xingtian had crossed the line.

Facing the crowd’s discussions, Xingtian remained unchanged, not giving it any regard.

"Grovel! Or die, tell me your choice!"

Xingtian stood high above, like a Demon God overlooking the ants below his feet, his expression cold, ruthless!

"I..."

The spare contestant shook violently all over, his face alternating between pale and flushed, showing an intense inner struggle.

Is survival or dignity more important?

"Do you think he will grovel?"

"Just fight, a warrior can die but not be humiliated!"

"That’s right, anyone with even a bit of spirit would never endure such humiliation."

Below the stage, the crowd discussed incessantly, everyone’s gaze focused on the spare contestant, unsure of what choice he would make.

"Thump!"

Under the eyes of everyone, the spare contestant knelt down in humiliation, his hands supporting the ground, inching his way between Xingtian’s widely spread legs.

"Wh... what?"

"Did he really choose to kneel?"

"Humiliation, utter humiliation!"

The crowd was shocked, simultaneously feeling sorrow for the spare contestant.

For survival, all face and dignity were discarded, willing to endure such extraordinary disgrace.

A cultivator, losing their spirit, may find their future achievements halt at this point, moving forward no more.

"Hahaha..."

Xingtian laughed wildly, high-spirited, invincible.

He looked disdainfully at the trembling spare contestant crawling from beneath him, a face full of contempt.

"No spirit at all, what use is keeping you alive!"

Just as the spare contestant crawled beneath him, Xingtian suddenly changed his face, sneered harshly, and struck a fierce blow to the top of the spare contestant’s head!

No one predicted that Xingtian would go back on his word, suddenly launching a deadly attack after his opponent already willingly conceded and endured the humiliation.

"Poof!"

Blood splattered!

The spare contestant groaned, his head exploded, divine soul destroyed, dying a wrongful death!

"Too much!"

"He already conceded, why do you go back on your word, suddenly launching a killing blow?"

Under the stage, many were filled with righteous indignation, demanding why Xingtian didn’t hold true to his word, if he was going to end like this, why bother humiliating the opponent before.

"Once you step onto the stage, life and death are decided by me!"

Xingtian arrogantly glanced at the crowd below, coldly declared: "What? Unconvinced? Come up then, I’ll send you all on your way together!"

Too much!

The crowd was agitated, almost eager to ascend the stage and give Xingtian a harsh lesson!

However—

They knew, this was a tournament, even if they were displeased, the City Lord would not allow interference with the match.

Ultimately, no one ascended the stage, the match concluded, Xingtian effortlessly walked off the Heavenly Demon Platform.

As he stepped down, he intentionally or inadvertently glanced at Ye Fan once more.

This time, Ye Fan squinted back, eyes undisguised in murderous intent!

Next, the Luo Yifu of the second clan and Tu Sihai of the first clan also won easily, showcasing an impressive might.

Each group now only had two contestants left, a random selection was no longer necessary.

Ancient Demon King the City Lord retrieved the Holy Artifact, coldly sweeping a glance over the competitors, casually declared: "The tournament continues, today we decide the top ten, then rest for three days and proceed with the ranking competition for the top ten!"

"Boom!"

A stir arises under the stage, the top ten ranking competition!

This will determine the ranks of the Ten Great Families, certainly another extremely fierce slaughter.

To know—

Those entering the top ten are not average people, to fight for the first position, everybody may reveal their bottom box Absolute Techniques.

The match three days hence is destined to be spectacular, people eagerly anticipate it.

As Ancient Demon King’s words fell, Ye Fan’s form flickered, standing proudly at the center of the Heavenly Demon Platform, serene and steady, without any aura, as if an ordinary person without cultivation.

Yet, no one dares to underestimate.

Now, Ye Fan has earned a nickname among everyone—Asura.

From the start of the tournament, anyone facing off against him has nearly never walked off the battle stage alive, all shattered, scenes blood-curdling.

However, this also thrilled the observing crowd.

Most cultivators from the Demon World are fearless and ferocious, accustomed to gore and slaughter.

In their eyes, Ye Fan seemed even more domineering, becoming the idol of many Loose Cultivators.

"Brother Zi, although I desire a duel with you, I don’t wish to die, please show mercy!"

The Blue-clothed King Luo Landu ascended the Heavenly Demon Platform, clasping his hands towards Ye Fan, full of caution.

He clearly understood the gap between himself and Ye Fan, battling with strong people is his honor.

But if it cost him his life, he’d rather forego that honor, staying alive is of utmost importance to him.

Ye Fan smiled, casually replied: "Rest assured, I have once said, should we have a final duel, I would spare your life, my words will hold true."

"In that case, many thanks!"

Luo Landu’s expression becomes solemn, he spewed out a long rainbow-like Innate Primordial Demonic Qi at Ye Fan fiercely.

In the Demonic Qi, a deep blue Holy Demon Seal sparkled with mysterious runes, enlarging rapidly, like a Holy Mountain, suppressing towards Ye Fan.

"Boom!"

Without hesitation, Ye Fan unleashed the Heavenly Demon Fist, fiery Punch Ray pierced the heavens, like a purple sun, shattering the Innate Primordial Demonic Qi.

"Holy Demon Awakening, Suppress!"

Luo Landu shouted loudly, activating the ancestral mark within his body. His entire being emitted a terrifying aura as he pointed with one finger. The Holy Demon Seal rapidly expanded, blotting out the sky and earth, exuding an aura of destruction as it descended directly toward Ye Fan to suppress him.

The Holy Demon Seal filled the void, runes flickering, imprisoning the void, pinning Ye Fan in the center of the Heavenly Demon Platform, unable to move.

Even the Chasing Star Step had lost its effectiveness. He seemed trapped in a quagmire, his movements sluggish.

"Too terrifying!"

"Such pressure! Few at the same level can withstand it!"

"Even the Tu family’s strongest heir, Tu Sihai, from the first family, would probably have to avoid its sharp edge first!"

People marveled in unison, lamenting that Luo Landu was unfortunate. If he were in the eighth or ninth group, he would definitely defeat the seed contestants and advance successfully.

However, facing Ye Fan, his chances of winning were indeed slim.

"Tss!"

Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two beams of silver light with a crackling sound. His figure swelled as he turned into a figure like a Demon God, emanating a dreadful aura of destruction.

"Bang!"

Ye Fan lifted one hand to the sky like a gigantic hand akin to the purple sun, boldly supporting the Holy Demon Seal that was like a sacred mountain.

"Crack!"

The Heavenly Demon Platform beneath his feet couldn’t bear the weight, and amidst the flickering runes, it suddenly shattered, spreading a crack that extended far into the distance!

"Ssss..."

The crowd gasped, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Ye Fan in the center of the Heavenly Demon Platform, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

Everyone was already aware of how terrifying the power of the Holy Demon Seal was, capable of absolute destruction and devastation.

However—

Ye Fan had nevertheless held it up with one hand, preventing the Holy Demon Seal from descending. What kind of terrifying power was this!

Luo Landu was also stunned. He naturally knew the formidable power of his own Holy Artifact.

Usually, when this move appeared, even the older generation of strong people in the clan would evade it, not daring to take it head-on.

And at this moment, Ye Fan with just one hand had lifted the Holy Demon Seal. This power, this bodily strength, made his eyelids twitch violently.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In full view of the crowd, Ye Fan acted as if nothing had happened, holding the Holy Demon Seal like a sacred mountain with one hand, stepping by step toward the petrified Luo Landu.

With each step, the Heavenly Demon Platform beneath his feet cracked more. In places he passed, he left behind a string of deep footprints and web-like fissures.

"Heh..."

Ye Fan shouted; with one hand, he hurled the Holy Demon Seal, which transformed into a stream of light, colliding with a distant mountain range.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion followed, dust rising in all directions. The massive Holy Demon Seal forcibly shattered a mountain range, sending rocks flying, dust billowing.

"Swish!"

Ye Fan, like a phantom, swept beside the stupefied Luo Landu, his purple diamond-like fist instantly piercing through his Protective Demon Gang.

"Buzz!"

The fist’s wind instantly shattered Luo Landu’s nose, blood flowing freely, while Ye Fan’s fist stopped at the last second in front of his eyes.

"Gulp!"

Luo Landu’s eyes widened further, then, flipping his eyes, he collapsed backward in fright and fainted.

"Ha ha..."

Ye Fan chuckled lightly, helping him up from the ground, simultaneously channeling a pure Death Energy into his body to aid his recovery.

"Thump!"

Upon awakening, Luo Landu, to everyone’s astonishment, knelt directly before Ye Fan.

"Brother Zi, no, my benefactor, I, Luo Landu, surrender. From today onwards, I am just a dog by your side. Whoever you want me to bite, I’ll bite without a word of opposition. From now on, the Luo family is a vassal family of the Purple Demon Family."

Luo Landu declared his allegiance to Ye Fan with sincerity, announcing from today, Luo Landu was Ye Fan’s chief follower.

"Brother, stand up!"

Ye Fan’s eyes were cold, his tone indifferent: "I don’t need a follower. If you recognize me, then be my brother. In the days when I’m not around, support the Purple Demon Family with all your heart."

Saying this, Ye Fan deliberately glanced at Xingtian, and lightly said, "Unlike some people, I have no friends, only followers!"

"Hmph!"

Xingtian naturally understood Ye Fan was targeting him, but couldn’t say a word in retort, only huffing coldly, the killing intent on his face growing stronger.

"Thank you, master, but I, Luo Landu, am a man of blood and bone. I will keep my word. You may not accept me as your subordinate, but I cannot overstep."

Ye Fan was at a loss; he hadn’t encountered this before. When he took in Pan Jueming, he said he would be Ye Fan’s follower, and now Luo Landu was saying the same thing.

It seems that the servile nature in some people’s hearts is deeply rooted, and it’s hard to change in a short time. Ye Fan could only tacitly agree.

"Luo Landu has backed a great tree!"

"With Zi Yefan as a patron, the Luo family’s day of prosperity is not far off."

People discussed, and no one thought Luo Landu’s surrender was disgraceful.

As one person attains Dao, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Ye Fan was destined to enter the top ten, to be noticed by important figures from the Upper Realm, and eventually soar skyward.

In their eyes, to follow Ye Fan was already an immense blessing.

The Luo family’s members also secretly sighed in relief. They did not feel ashamed of Luo Landu’s decision but rather felt it was immensely wise.

Not only did it dissolve the enmity with Ye Fan, but it also won Ye Fan’s favor through lowering his own status.

In the future, when the Purple Demon Family rises to prominence, the Luo family will also greatly benefit.

"Brother Ye, thank you..."

In the crowd, Zi Huan felt deeply moved.

She knew.

Ye Fan had done all of this for her!
