Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 445 Mysterious Cloaked Figure
Chapter 445: 445 Mysterious Cloaked Figure
Zhang Baifa only felt his entire body go numb, as if currents of electricity were passing over his skin, rendering his body stiff.
He watched Chen Fan with trembling fear, his body shaking uncontrollably, instinctively wanting to kneel on the ground.
He had thought that Sun Xiong valued Chen Fan so much because of his powerful background, but he believed that even a mighty dragon cannot oppress a local snake, so he still dared to challenge Chen Fan in Qingyang Town.
But he could never have dreamed that Chen Fan possessed such earth-shattering, ghost-weeping powers.
This was simply like an Immortal descending to the mortal world!
It was only now that he understood why Sun Xiong had repeatedly warned him not to anger Chen Fan, or else there would be terrifying consequences.
A whirlwind of complex emotions fluttered through his eyes, eventually turning into regret. Had he known earlier that Chen Fan had the abilities of an Immortal, he would have broken Zhang Jiashuai’s legs himself without Chen Fan lifting a finger.
At this moment, Zhang Jiashuai was also shocked by the prowess Chen Fan displayed, even forgetting the pain in his legs.
Ding Shuo muttered with wide eyes, "Is... is this an Immortal?"
The onlookers who followed to watch the excitement were also staggeringly shocked.
They had only ever seen such scenes on television; who would have thought that in this world, there really were people who could wield thunderbolts, completely overturning their worldview.
Su Qingyan and An Lan were relatively calm, with An Lan realizing after last night’s events that the world was far more mysterious than she had known.
Jiang Qing, like the others, was astounded, finding it incredulous.
She originally thought Chen Fan was just good at fighting, but she had not expected that this big brother could also perform Immortal Method Divine Power!
That was simply too cool!
In the end, Zhang Baifa could not withstand the oppressive force from the lightning bolt in Chen Fan’s hand and with a thud, he knelt down on the ground.
"Chen... Mr. Chen, I’m sorry, I was presumptuous, my son deserved to have his legs broken, I have no complaints, he brought it on himself, please calm your anger!"
Seeing Zhang Baifa back down, Chen Fan then dispelled the lightning in his hand, and the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, returning to a scene of a moonlit and starry sky.
"Your son is scum, I’ve already shown mercy by not killing him. For the sake of Sun Xiong, I won’t hold this against you any longer. I hope you’ll conduct yourself properly," Chen Fan spoke indifferently.
Zhang Baifa quickly kowtowed to Chen Fan, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen!"
"I’ve recognized my mistake. My son has become this way because I indulged him, I have seriously neglected my duty. I will personally resign from my position as town mayor to President Sun, hoping Mr. Chen can forgive me."
He clearly understood that having offended an Immortal figure like Chen Fan, Sun Xiong would definitely not allow him to continue as town mayor, and he might even be punished. So it was better to resign voluntarily to alleviate some of Chen Fan’s anger.
Chen Fan snorted coldly and ignored him, turning to Su Qingyan and the others, "Let’s go."
With things having come to this pass, the dinner was obviously off, and they had to find somewhere else to eat.
After Chen Fan and his group left, Zhang Baifa looked at Zhang Jiashuai with resentment and ground his teeth, "You’ve become crippled, and now I’m going to lose my job too. Are you satisfied now?"
Zhang Jiashuai, with a face of despair, wailed, "Dad, please hurry up and take me to the hospital in town, my leg is killing me..."
Ding Shuo looked at Zhang Jiashuai with pity and said, "Cousin, you’re so miserable. From now on, you’ll have to sit in a wheelchair, uncle has lost his job, you’re not handsome, and you’ll probably have no money in the future. Being disabled, you won’t be able to find a wife!"
Zhang Jiashuai was so angry he was fuming, bellowing, "Get the hell away from me! Don’t let me see you again in this lifetime!"
Ding Shuo’s face was full of grievance, "I was just trying to comfort you..."
Zhang Jiashuai: "..."
...
Chen Fan and his companions found a restaurant and ate something simple.
Jiang Qing was in an indescribable state of excitement throughout the whole time, her face full of admiration as she looked at Chen Fan, constantly repeating, "Brother Chen Fan, you’re so amazing!"
After eating, the group walked towards a park in town, planning to take a stroll.
On the way, Jiang Qing said earnestly, "Brother Chen Fan, I’ve decided, from now on, I’m your fan girl!"
Su Qingyan laughed upon hearing this and said, "Brother Chen Fan, I’m your fan girl too."
An Lan immediately echoed, "Me too!"
Su Qingyan turned and glanced at An Lan, and the two women’s gazes met, almost igniting a fire between them.
Chen Fan, with a helpless expression, said to Jiang Qing, "You’re still young, don’t always get caught up in these things, focus on your studies instead."
Jiang Qing argued, "The two aren’t conflicting. I don’t care, I’m going to be your fan girl anyway."
She then looked at Su Qingyan with a smile and asked, "Qingyan, you’re not jealous, are you?"
Su Qingyan said with a smile, "Of course not."
An Lan also wanted to ask Su Qingyan if she was jealous, mimicking Jiang Qing’s style, but thought better of it, as the answer seemed obvious, so she held back.
The four of them entered the park and made their way to a secluded grove.
There were no lights, and they could barely see the path ahead by the moonlight. frёeωebɳovel.com
Although the line of sight was not good, in the vast mountains, listening to the chirping of insects and birds, feeling the nighttime breeze, and watching the moon in the sky, there was a sense of serene tranquility.
All four people tacitly remained silent, quietly enjoying this peaceful moment.
Meanwhile.
Within the dark night sky, a streak of light was swiftly flying toward the direction of Qingyang Town.
After a short while, the streak of light stopped atop a mountain peak. When visibility cleared, it turned out that the light was a figure in a black robe.
The figure in the black robe stood on the precipice of the mountaintop, overlooking the area below. At a short distance, the lights of Qingyang Town flickered.
Without much hesitation, the black-robed figure once again took to the sky, and after a brief sensing, flew directly towards a grove in the town’s park.
In the woods.
The group of four had walked a long distance when An Lan turned her large eyes and stealthily hooked her hand towards Chen Fan’s.
"Since it’s pitch-dark here and no one can see, it’s thrilling to think about teasing Chen Fan a bit, especially in front of Su Qingyan," An Lan thought with a mischievous smile.
Chen Fan felt his hand being grabbed and furrowed his brows, turning his head to see An Lan looking at him with crafty eyes, filled with the playfulness of someone up to no good.
Chen Fan quickly shook off her hand and moved a bit further away from her.
An Lan, with a face full of anger, reached out to grab Chen Fan’s hand again.
Chen Fan simply switched places with Su Qingyan.
Only then did An Lan give up, internally criticizing Chen Fan a hundred times.
Su Qingyan saw Chen Fan suddenly move to her other side, confusion on her face, but she quickly realized it must have been An Lan making a secret move on Chen Fan again.
She decisively linked arms with An Lan and said with a smile, "Good sisters should walk hand in hand, it’s more cordial that way."
An Lan chuckled, "Yes, we’re sisters for life, we should walk hand in hand."
Hearing the tea-like banter between the two, Chen Fan had a full face of black lines, eager to take Su Qingyan and Jiang Qing away from An Lan, this woman.
Just then, a sudden sense of danger crept up in his heart, his instincts telling him that some terrifying presence was drawing near them.
He immediately stopped, "Nobody move."
Su Qingyan and the others looked at Chen Fan with puzzled expressions.
Chen Fan released his Divine Sense to observe the surroundings and soon detected a figure flying towards them.
His face drastically changed as he became fully alert.
With the current state of Earth’s environment, even for those who had reached the Golden Core Realm, true flight was difficult to achieve without relying on Sword Control Skills for brief aerial maneuvers.
To truly fly freely, one would have to be at least in the Nascent Soul Realm or higher.
This meant that the person flying towards them was at minimum in the Nascent Soul Realm, and possibly even beyond that.
In the Cultivation World, such a level was already considered that of an ancestor, let alone on today’s Earth, where the path of cultivation had become severed.
Although Chen Fan had previously speculated that there were other cultivators on Earth besides himself, seeing another true cultivator, especially one above the Nascent Soul Realm, still struck him as incredible.
"Such a powerful being, if he hides his aura, I would have no way to detect him. He’s flying towards us without any concealment, which almost certainly means he’s coming for us."
"But when did I ever provoke such a high-level entity?"
As Chen Fan puzzled over this, the streak of light had already reached overhead.
The black-robed figure stopped mid-air, then slowly descended, halting about ten meters above their heads.
A wave of oppressive force enveloped them, and Chen Fan’s forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.
An Lan and Jiang Qing were even more terrified, with Jiang Qing staring blankly at the black-robed figure in the air and saying, "That... that person can fly..."
Only Su Qingyan did not feel any discomfort, merely astonished by the sudden appearance of the black-robed figure.
The black-robed person looked down at the four, as if viewing ants on the ground, with the gaze finally settling on Su Qingyan. A hoarse voice, indistinguishable between male or female, then emerged: "Come with me."
