Chapter 368: Chapter 368 Shock at the Lakeside

Seeing Niu Han make his move, the entire crowd around Yanming Lake boiled with excitement.

They knew that the great battle was officially about to begin!

Su Yue said excitedly, “Big brother, this guy looks very powerful. I bet Ye Fan won’t last a single move against him!”

“Mm! I hope this guy doesn’t let us down,” Su Tianhao was full of excitement.

In their eyes, if it were not for Ye Fan, they would not have fallen to such a state. From the bottom of their hearts, they harbored a deadly grudge against Ye Fan. Now that Ye Fan was being attacked by a master from the East Sea, one could only imagine how thrilled the siblings were.

“Kill him, kill him fiercely!”

Not only were the Su siblings extremely exhilarated, but even Huang Zicheng, who was protected by many East Sea experts, was shouting ferociously.

All of the 300-odd members of the Huang Family had died because of Ye Fan, and Huang Zicheng wished he could become Niu Han and personally slaughter Ye Fan.

“Chen Longpeng, wasn’t it you who wanted to have a decisive battle with me? Sending this big lug to fight first, are you sending him to his death?”

Standing on the bamboo raft, watching Niu Han rushing toward him, Ye Fan scoffed.

Seeing that Ye Fan remained unfazed, Chen Longpeng sneered, “With Niu Han taking action, that’s more than enough to kill you!”

In Chen Longpeng’s view. Ye Fan was young, definitely no more than thirty years old. He didn’t believe that Ye Fan’s combat power had reached the Martial Arts King Realm.

Meanwhile, Niu Han was a genuine Half-Step Martial King, and in Chen Longpeng’s opinion, Niu Han was more than capable of killing Ye Fan.

Although their East Sea Chen Family had previously sent the Soul Reaping Tri-Elders to assassinate Ye Fan and failed, Chen Longpeng knew that the Soul Reaping Tri-Elders’ combined attack had a big flaw and was easy to break.

On a normal day, faced with the Soul Reaping Tri-Elders, as long as Niu Han caught their weakness, Niu Han could overwhelm the Soul Reaping Tri-Elders in the blink of an eye.

So, with Niu Han taking action, eliminating Ye Fan was no trouble at all.

“Are you so certain? You shouldn’t speak too confidently, otherwise it’s easy to get slapped in the face,” Ye Fan said with a light laugh.

“You damn brat, are you looking down on me, Old Niu?”

Seeing that Ye Fan was completely ignoring him, Niu Han roared in anger, and he suddenly pulled out two axes from his waist.

“Go!”

The moment he took out the axes, Niu Han let out a loud shout, and instantly hurled one at Ye Fan.

Whoosh–

The axe thrown by Niu Han, carrying ferocious combat power, whistled through the air, swift as lightning.

“So powerful, this Niu Han is really too strong!”

Watching Niu Han, there were Martial Arts Grandmasters among the crowd at Yanming Lake who were secretly shocked.

They could tell that Niu Han was beyond the category of Martial Arts Grandmaster; if that axe were to hit, even if they were Martial Arts Grandmasters, most likely they would be splattered with blood on the spot.

“Can this kid withstand it?”

Realizing that Niu Han had murderous intent, many in the audience sweated coldly for Ye Fan.

They were looking forward to the great battle between Ye Fan and Chen Longpeng. If Ye Fan was killed by Niu Han before even fighting Chen Longpeng, that would be too uninteresting.

“Mr. Ye, be careful!” Xu Haoran couldn’t help but shout loudly.

As his elder sister, Xu Ruoxuan’s complexion remained calm, her intuition telling her that Ye Fan wouldn’t be so easily defeated.

Her beautiful eyes watched Ye Fan with interest, as if wanting to see how Ye Fan would respond next.

“Heh!”

Standing on the bamboo raft, Ye Fan let out a cold laugh. Just as the axe was about to strike, he slightly sidestepped, and the axe missed him by a whisker.

“You little bastard, die!”

Taking advantage of Ye Fan dodging the axe, Niu Han sneered maliciously. He unleashed his inner strength and stomped heavily on the lake surface. His towering figure suddenly soared into the air.

Clenching the other axe in his hand, Niu Han cleaved down toward Ye Fan with the speed of thunder.

Fast, too fast!

Niu Han, a true Half-Step Martial King, launched a frontal attack; his speed was so fast that ordinary people couldn’t even get a clear look.

“It’s over!”

Watching Niu Han’s ferocious move, Chen Longpeng smiled mockingly.

Huang Zicheng, with a face full of resentment, bellowed, “Kill him, kill him now for me!”

Whoosh–

In the blink of an eye, Niu Han surged forward with overwhelming combat power and arrived in front of Ye Fan. His right hand armed with an axe, he violently chopped down toward Ye Fan’s shoulder.

“This is bad, the distance is too close, it will be very difficult for Ye Fan to dodge!”

“It’s not that Ye Fan is too weak, but that Niu Han is too strong. I didn’t expect the battle to just start, and Ye Fan is going to fall!”

Several Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Central Plains who had come to watch the battle in secret murmured among themselves, believing that Ye Fan was most likely doomed this time.

“Big brother, Ye Fan is going to be killed!” Seeing this, Su Yue urgently cried out.

Su Tianhao, with a look of satisfaction, said, “How wonderful, finish him, finish him quickly!”

“Hmph!”

Seeing that Ye Fan was standing on the bamboo raft without dodging or evading, Niu Han thought Ye Fan was stunned by his imposing aura, and he sneered as he gripped the ax tightly and viciously hacked at Ye Fan.

Bang!!!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Niu Han’s sharp axe viciously struck Ye Fan’s shoulder.

Shockingly, when the axe hit Ye Fan, it wasn’t able to penetrate any further; instead, it produced a sound like a metallic collision.

Unable to chop Ye Fan to death, Niu Han’s face twisted in disbelief: “How is this possible, how could this not kill you?”

mNiu Han had held nothing back in his strike, seeking to kill Ye Fan in one blow, and what he never dreamt was that his attack would be ineffective against Ye Fan.

“Is that all you’ve got, and you hoped to kill me with it? By the way, are you trying to tickle me?” Ye Fan scoffed.

Scorned by Ye Fan, Niu Han suddenly realized something, his face filled with horror he said, “Copper skin and iron bones, you’ve actually mastered the copper skin and iron bones technique?”

“Congratulations, you guessed right!”

Ye Fan smirked devilishly, and his right hand, transformed into a blur, suddenly grabbed toward Niu Han’s wrist.

“This is bad!”

Realizing that Ye Fan was about to counterattack, Niu Han panicked.

He wanted to retreat quickly, but how could Ye Fan let him have his way? The instant Niu Han stepped back, Ye Fan swiftly caught Niu Han’s wrist.

With sudden force, a ‘crack’ resonated, and Niu Han shrieked in pain, feeling as if his entire arm had lost sensation.

“Get the hell down from here!”

Seizing the opportunity of his ailment to take his life, when Niu Han let out his shriek, Ye Fan leaped into the air, his foot ruthlessly slamming into Niu Han’s head.

Boom!!!

Struck by Ye Fan’s kick, Niu Han’s entire body plummeted into the lake like a bomb, creating waves of water.

“Niu Han was actually overpowered by this kid?”

“Holy shit! Is this a mistake? Niu Han is a Half-Step Martial King, a super being just below Master Peng, how could he possibly be overpowered by this kid?”

“Damn it! No wonder Young Master Huang was repeatedly humiliated by this kid in the Central Plains, turns out this kid really isn’t as simple as he appears!”

As they witnessed Niu Han being openly crushed by Ye Fan, a group of Ancient Martial Artists from the East Sea were all shocked.

“Goodness gracious! This big guy was actually suppressed by Ye Fan? It’s unbelievable!”

Not only were the Ancient Martial Artists from the East Sea shell-shocked, but even the people from the Central Plains felt waves of shock and disbelief.

They had anticipated that Ye Fan was not simple, but they never imagined he would be this strong.

In just a brief encounter, the Half-Step Martial King, Niu Han, was completely overpowered by Ye Fan, rendered utterly unable to fight back.

Incredible! It was simply too hard for everyone to believe.

“Dammit!”

Seeing Niu Han being dominated by Ye Fan, Su Tianhao, Su Yue, and Huang Zicheng all felt an itch of hatred with nowhere to scratch.

They all thought Ye Fan was a dead man just moments ago, yet unexpectedly, Niu Han turned out to be no match for a single move from Ye Fan.

The situation had far exceeded their expectations.
