Chapter 365: What If I Don't?

The expression of the Jue Family Foundation Building Realm cultivator turned into one of shock.

After a moment, he suppressed his anger and said, "Even if you are from the Fang Family, you must not intervene in this matter. I'll give you one last chance. Turn around and leave immediately, don't poke your nose in this! If your elders at home find out, they will only scold you! Do you want to cause a war between the Jue and Fang Families?"

Fang Chen's voice was soft as he said, "I'm asking you a question. Do you have a problem if I take her away?”

The Jue Family Foundation Building Realm cultivator immediately became furious. His face turned cold, and a terrifying aura that belonged to a Foundation Building Realm cultivator swept out. It overwhelmed the surrounding cultivators, making it difficult to breathe for them.

"So frightening! No wonder he's a Foundation Building Realm cultivator. The difference between him and Qi Refining Realm cultivators like us is too vast!"

"Does this Fang Family disciple really dare to provoke the Jue Family’s Foundation Building Realm cultivator repeatedly?"

The crowd was shocked.

"If I make a move, you and your family will be embarrassed today," he said coldly.

At the Spring Dawn Tower, Jue Wudi spoke softly, "This Foundation Building Realm cultivator is an elder of the main branch. He has been fond of martial arts since childhood and only later turned to the path of cultivation. Fang Chen probably won't be able to last more than three moves against him. Second Prince, perhaps you might want to offer Fang Chen a friendly reminder so he can save himself the embarrassment?"

Qian Feng burst out laughing. "Why not see how many moves Fang Chen's Five Elements Technique can withstand against a Foundation Building Realm cultivator?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"I bet he won't last even three moves."

"How can a Qi Refining Realm cultivator have any chance against a Foundation Building Realm cultivator?"

"I think Fang Chen is a little too ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Being so disrespectful to a Foundation Building Realm cultivator of the Jue Family may be related to his upbringing outside. He truly lacks manners.”

The Jue Family Foundation Building cultivator sneered, and in a mocking tone, he said, "Youngsters nowadays… hmph, really don't know when to give up."

Seeing that Fang Chen showed no intention of backing down, he chuckled lightly. Suddenly, pops came from his body. To the disbelief of everyone present, his muscles began to swell.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from an ordinary person into a giant. He was even taller than the armored warrior from earlier.

The terrifying and thick aura of blood and qi was like a scorching sun. The subtle pressure made people's scalps tingle. They couldn't even muster a shred of resistance.

"What kind of technique is this!?"

"So terrifying! I feel like this elder can crush a mountain with just one punch!"

"Is he a martial artist or a cultivator!"

"Is he... that crazy martial artist, Jue Tiangang, from the main branch of the Jue Family Family? I heard he combined martial arts with cultivation techniques, creating a special body refinement technique. He once fought two peers without falling at a disadvantage."

"Ordinary techniques can't harm him at all. He can even withstand many techniques with his body alone without the need for spiritual energy!"

There was a group of young men and women standing not too far away. They were from the fourth branch of the Fang Family, and they were led by the fourth branch's chief disciple, Fang Xiu.

He had been the only one who could compete against Fang Lingxing before Fang Chen appeared.

"Big Brother Fang Xiu, it seems the rumors are true. This technique is truly terrifying. I feel... even if he stands still, we might not be able to harm him at all, even if we join forces," exclaimed a member of the Fourth Branch.

Fang Xiu nodded slightly, his expression equally grave.

At that moment, someone exclaimed in a low voice, "Isn't that Fang Chen from the third branch?! How is he confronting Jue Tiangang?"

"Is it really Fang Chen?" Fang Xiu's expression changed slightly. He hadn't seen Fang Chen before, so he couldn't recognize him immediately.

"Oh no, Fang Chen has no chance against Jue Tiangang!"

Fang Xiu hesitated. He wasn't sure whether to step forward and help or not. However, before he could come to a decision, Jue Tiangang made his move.

Despite his giant-like stature, he was not slow. He was as fast as lightning. He appeared in front of Fang Chen in just the blink of an eye before aiming a punch toward Fang Chen's head.

There was a hint of disdain on his proud, high and mighty face as he looked down at Fang Chen, like a deity looking down upon ants.

The next moment, Fang Chen raised his head and looked at Jue Tiangang.

His once-closed eyes were now open, revealing grayish-white pupils as still as dead water, devoid of any ripples. He looked completely indifferent.

For some reason, Jue Tiangang suddenly felt a sense of unease rise in his heart.

Then, two armored warriors appeared out of nowhere, delivering a barrage of punches that landed on Jue Tiangang's body.

Bang bang bang!

The loud bangs were like the tolling of a bell, shaking people's hearts and causing their eardrums to throb.

They saw several bursts of blood mist erupt from Jue Tiangang's body as the two armored warriors crushed his massive frame, sending him crashing to the ground.

His eyes were tightly shut. He had been clearly knocked out cold. He was visibly shrinking back to his usual size.

The Jue Family’s Dragon Guards he had brought with him all gasped in shock. Their eyes were wide open with shock, and their tongues felt all tied up. They were unable to muster a word amidst their anger and astonishment.

The surrounding cultivators exchanged looks, all witnessing the deep shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

What had they just witnessed?!

A Foundation Building Realm cultivator from the Jue Family actually lost to a Qi Refining Realm disciple?!

Were their eyes playing tricks on them?

One of the onlookers couldn't help but rub their eyes.

Jue Tiangang had indeed lost.

He had utterly lost without any ability to fight back!

Fang Xiu was dumbfounded. "This…."

The members of the fourth branch who were beside him were just as stunned. They stood in their places, frozen, as still as statues. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

At the Spring Dawn Pavilion, the smile on Jue Wudi's face froze. Despite his usual calm demeanor, there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Fang Lingxing and others showed expressions of disbelief.

What just happened?!

A Foundation Building Realm cultivator was defeated by a Qi Refining Realm junior!

Didn't Jue Wudi just say that in Jue Tiangang's hands, Fang Chen wouldn't last more than three moves?

"The two armored warriors... his control over the Five Elements technique has reached a profound level. How much effort and time has this young man put into this aspect?" muttered Qian Feng.

In the tea house….

Jue Feichen frowned.

Fang Chen defeated even Jue Tiangang. This wasn't something he anticipated.

Not to mention the terrifying gap between Foundation Building Realm and Qi Refining Realm, just the fact that Jue Tiangang had created this extraordinary body refining technique made it nearly impossible for opponents at the same level to beat him.

Unless his opponents had extremely high-level spiritual treasures, ordinary techniques wouldn’t be enough to break through his defenses!

Jiang Zhong stared fixedly at Fang Chen as extreme excitement began to rise up in his heart.

"It's Master Fang! The Young Lady might have a chance!" he exclaimed.

Fang Chen had been wearing a mask the last time they were together, so he didn't know how he looked. But Jiang Zhong was sure this was Fang Chen judging by his demeanor and actions!

Having spent some time with Fang Chen, Jiang Zhong trusted that he wasn't mistaken!

For a moment, the streets, the Spring Dawn Pavilion, and the people in the tea house fell into complete silence.

It wasn't until Jue Wudi saw Fang Chen preparing to leave with Jiang Tianai that he finally coldly snorted while looking down at him.

"Leave that person behind, Fang Chen."

Fang Xiu and company recognized Jue Wudi immediately and were shocked. "Is that Jue Wudi?"

Why was Jue Wudi here too?

Fang Chen didn't turn around. He just smiled lightly and said, "What if I don't?"
