Voices rang out, full of momentum.
As if they were the victors.
Chang Fei and others didn’t know what to do.
However, Carl grew increasingly panicked.
He looked at the excited group of Song Family members.
Are these fools? They don’t want to live, but I do!
If they anger that young man and he kills all the Song Family members, then slaps me to death, what then?
"Shut up, all of you!"
He roared, like a raging wave, directly suppressing the voices of the Song Family members.
"You useless bunch, you have no skills, only dragging people down!"
He cursed, "If I had known you were so useless, I shouldn’t have come with you in the first place. I’m in this situation all because of you!"
The Song Family members looked at each other, their previous momentum gone.
"M-Mr. Carl."
Song Tian apologized, "I’m truly sorry, this time it really was our mistake, we’ve burdened you, please forgive us."
"What’s the point of saying this now?"
Carl raged, "I want to live, to live, do you know? I don’t want to die here like you bunch of losers!"
Song Wu and others clenched their fists upon hearing this.
Did they wish for things to reach this point?
Of course not!
But that Chen kid is too strong, Seventh Ancestor has been gone for so long, he’s probably already been killed by him.
Faced with such an absolute disparity in power, what chance of survival do they have?
"Mr. Carl, please calm down."
Song Tian took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Fan and others, and said, "Given your special status, they wouldn’t dare do anything to you."
Perhaps, in his heart, he hoped Chen Fan would kill Carl too.
If that happened, he, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association behind him, would have to face not just his Song Family, but also Revival Association’s revenge!
Even a family within the Elder Council would be troubled by such a situation.
Carl opened his mouth.
He also thought that with his status, these Yan Country people wouldn’t dare touch him.
But, what if?
"I know what you’re planning."
Chen Fan spoke.
"You know you have no way out, so you want me to kill you, leaving a good name for yourself. You intentionally say I wouldn’t kill him, to provoke my rebellious psychology and make me kill him, completely offending Revival Association, right?"
"So what if you know?"
Song Tian remained calm, even smiled.
"What can you do?"
Shi Tao and others fell silent.
Indeed, what could be done?
The powers behind both sides are vastly different.
"Good question."
Chen Fan’s voice rang out, not in the anxious rage that Song Tian expected.
"I won’t kill you all."
Song Tian and the surrounding Song Family members were shocked.
"Kid, are you trying to curry favor with us?" mocked Fifth Brother of the Song Family. "Do you think by doing this you can pretend those previous events never happened?"
"Kid, it’s too late for you to think about surrendering now." Song Wu’s eyes flashed with pride. "When you killed my third brother, you and our Song Family became sworn enemies."
"I haven’t finished speaking."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"I’m not sparing you to curry favor, but to let you see how your Song Family Ancestor is killed by me after he arrives."
"!!!"
At these words, the proud expressions of the Song Family members vanished instantly.
They became agitated one after another.
"Arrogant! Do you know what strength my Song Family’s other two ancestors possess?"
"With just you, dreaming of killing our two ancestors!"
"Hahaha, kid, if you really have the ability, go ahead, we would like to see if you can do it when the time comes!" Song Tian laughed.
Chen Fan not killing them was definitely for the best.
When their two ancestors arrive, they can rescue them.
Not only them, even Shi Tao and others dared not believe it.
They knew Chen Fan was very strong, likely comparable to mid-stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists.
But the opponent has two mid-stage Celestial Realm Martial Artists. If they come, it won’t be as easy to separate them as in this instance.
"Indeed, my current strength is insufficient. Therefore, I need your help."
Chen Fan said blandly.
"Your help?"
Song Wu sneered.
What a joke, he couldn’t wait to stab him.
No, just killing him with one stab would be too cheap.
At least dismember him, quarter him!
"Chen Fan."
Shi Tao couldn’t help but speak, "Whatever you need help with, tell us, even if it’s climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of fire, we won’t frown."
"Yes, yes."
Chang Fei and others nodded repeatedly.
"President, you’re mistaken. Only they can help."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Only they?" Shi Tao frowned, not understanding what Chen Fan meant.
Chen Fan did not explain, walked up to Song Tian.
"Come on, do it!"
Song Tian stared into Chen Fan’s eyes.
Chen Fan extended his palm, placing it a few centimeters from the opponent’s brow.
Suddenly, a pure inner strength was absorbed from the opponent’s dantian through the brow, transmitted into Chen Fan’s palm.
"Star Absorption Technique!"
Song Tian exclaimed as he convulsed.
"What! Star Absorption Technique!"
"Star Absorption Technique!"
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Star Absorption Technique, known to all Martial Artists at True Essence Realm and above, and even dreamed of by many who wish to learn it.
Because it can absorb the lifelong power of others as one’s own, the deeper the power of the other person, the more the Star Absorption Technique user’s power increases.
However, this cultivation technique is very dangerous; the more inner strength absorbed, the harder it is to control. A slight mistake could result in inner strength backlash, bursting the body.
Moreover, this technique has a bad reputation, usually only used by notorious individuals.
"Brother Chen knows Star Absorption Technique?"
Shen Si felt a chill in his heart.
Because it means that as long as Chen Fan wishes, he could absorb the inner strength of everyone present, including them.
But then he relaxed.
Brother Chen is not that kind of person. If he intended to do so, why wait until today?
Moreover, when the president asked earlier about needing help, he said their help wasn’t enough.
Shi Tao’s gaze was complex as he watched.
He also had reservations about the Star Absorption Technique.
Because absorbing others’ inner strength conflicts with his principle of progressing step by step.
But he understood well that extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. The events here wouldn’t be kept from certain people in the city, and once news spreads, Chen Fan would face the Song Family’s crazed retaliation.
"Stop! Stop it!"
The Song Family members panicked.
They didn’t fear death, nor torture.
But they feared losing their lifelong power, becoming useless. Even if they could keep their lives, it would be far worse than death.
"Let go of my elder brother!" Song Wu suddenly stood up, and charged at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan remained expressionless, extending his left hand just as Song Wu was about to reach him. Instantly, Song Wu seemed to be hit with the Body-Stabilizing Technique, unable to move, his inner strength crazily surging out.
"No, don’t, don’t absorb my power!"
Song Wu cried and sniveled.
A few seconds later, Chen Fan released the two.
Having almost lost their lifelong power, Song Tian and Song Wu had lost their previous spirit, sitting on the ground in despair.
"Why? Why not absorb all my inner strength?"
As Chen Fan walked forward, Song Tian’s gritted voice came from behind.
"Because if I did, you would die. And I said I would leave you alive, to watch how your Song Family Ancestor dies by my hand."
Chen Fan replied calmly.
