Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Not even qualified to spar

The unbecoming behavior caused many of the female disciples to be astonished.

Hua Yun, who was beside him, craned her neck to look at the contents of the note, muttering:

“On the third day of the ninth month in the Sexagenary Year, while passing through the Black Wind Mountain Range at the border, we encountered the Black Lotus bandit leader.”

“To my surprise, I discovered her strength had reached the Core Formation Realm.”

“Fortunately, Jiang Fan, a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect, intervened, and single-handedly beheaded her with his sword, ensuring our safety.”

“That night, as we crossed the mountain range, we found the bodies of eight remaining Black Lotus bandits, presumably slain by Junior Brother Jiang Fan.”

...

“Thus, the entire Black Lotus bandits were annihilated.”

“I hope the Task Hall takes note and prepares the reward for Junior Brother Jiang Fan.”

After reading out loud.

Hua Yun herself was stunned, staring at the note without blinking.

The female disciples in the hall were also utterly dumbfounded.

Their minds were echoing with the concise yet explosive content!

The Black Lotus was not at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment!

But in the Core Formation Realm!

And it wasn’t because she had sustained grave injuries or had died before her head was severed!

Rather, it was Jiang Fan alone, who beheaded her!

They stared blankly at Jiang Fan, their eyes filled with the same astonishment as the aloof woman!

“You… Junior Brother Jiang, you can slay someone in the Core Formation Realm?”

The aloof woman stammered.

Jiang Fan was speechless.

Zhang Xuemou’s carrier pigeon message could not have come sooner or later.

It just had to appear in front of so many people.

He had no way to respond and pretended not to hear, silently meditating.

The aloof woman then realized that she had asked a very offensive question.

The carrier pigeon message had already made it clear, asking again would seem like doubting it?

She quickly went to the counter, poured a cup of Spiritual Tea, and brought it over: “Junior Brother Jiang, have some tea to moisten your throat.”

This scene gave the female disciples present a sense of absurdity.

This aloof woman was famously arrogant and cold in the sect.

Except for the elders and the Sect Master, she showed no good face to anyone.

Yet she took the initiative to serve tea to a peer?

It was truly unprecedented!

With the other party being so polite, Jiang Fan naturally could not put on airs and accepted the tea with both hands: “Thank you, Senior Sister.”

The aloof woman’s eyes were filled with intense curiosity: “May I ask, Junior Brother Jiang, how did you slay the Black Lotus?”

“Can you share with us?”

Seeing the female disciples looking at him with eager eyes, as if listening to a story.

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “In a life-and-death struggle, it only takes a few moves, there isn’t much to tell.”

The aloof woman deeply agreed.

A true expert duel does not resemble an ordinary spar, going back and forth.

Usually, the battle is resolved in just a few exchanges.

If one side shows a flaw, it results in a tragic end of either death or severe injury.

However, such a light statement obviously did not satisfy her curiosity.

After a brief thought, she volunteered:

“Junior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister is not talented, but I would like to ask for your guidance in a few Slaughter Techniques.”

Looking at Jiang Fan, who was obviously much younger than herself, she still had some unwillingness deep in her heart.

It was still hard for her to believe that Jiang Fan could kill the Black Lotus in peak condition.

Could it be that the Black Lotus had bad luck and something went wrong during the battle?

Jiang Fan said: “Senior Sister is too polite, it’s not about any Slaughter Techniques, I was just lucky, and my Cultivation Technique happened to restrain her.”

The aloof woman would not give up so easily?

“Junior Brother Jiang looks down on our Spirit Beast Sect’s Cultivation Techniques?”

“Although our main focus is on Combat Dharma Methods that cooperate with Spiritual Beasts, it doesn’t mean our Cultivation Techniques are weak.”

Jiang Fan understood.

It seemed she wanted to compete with him.

If he didn’t let her give up, she would continue to pester him.

And the Deacon who had just left, who knew when he would return.

To avoid entanglement, he slightly nodded: “Okay, then with Senior Sister…”

He suddenly realized that the aloof woman came empty-handed.

She didn’t bring her Combat Spirit Pet.

This meant that her true strength couldn’t be fully displayed.

So he changed his tone: “How about this, I’ll first display a set of Cultivation Techniques.”

“If Senior Sister thinks she can handle a few moves, then it won’t be too late for the spar.”

This made the aloof woman feel slighted.

She was an Eighth Layer Martial Artist of Foundation Establishment, needing to evaluate herself before sparring with someone?

She showed a hint of displeasure: “Junior Brother really looks down on our Spirit Beast Sect.”

The surrounding female disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect also noticed this.

They all cast unfriendly glances.

“Isn’t he being too arrogant?”

“We don’t even know exactly how he killed the Black Lotus, maybe it was luck, yet he’s so arrogant.”

“Senior Sister is showing him face, that’s why he’s looking down on Senior Sister and our Spirit Beast Sect.”

…

Jiang Fan acted as if he hadn’t heard.

He got up and walked to the center of the hall and, without a word, directly demonstrated the “Wandering Dragon Palm”!

“Shocking Dragon!”

“Dragon Control!”

Two consecutive punches caused the air to tremble, faint dragon roars could be heard.

The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was shocked by the power of this palm technique.

“It seems… it seems quite impressive!”

“The power of this palm technique is almost at the level of an Earth-level Technique.”

“No wonder he’s so confident, Senior Sister might really not be able to withstand it.”

The aloof woman frowned slightly.

She whispered: “Indeed powerful, but it doesn’t seem unbeatable.”

Until Jiang Fan executed the most powerful move.

“Dragon Destruction!”

Roar—

A loud dragon roar shook the disciples’ bodies.

The powerful punch winds whipped up whirlwinds.

The skirts of the nearby female disciples flew, their hair wildly danced, and they screamed in unison.

The aloof woman was greatly shocked.

This palm technique had the power of at least an Earth-level Technique!

There was no way she could handle it.

No wonder Jiang Fan asked her to first look at his Cultivation Techniques.

But.

This wasn’t the end!

After finishing the palm technique, Jiang Fan used a weapon, drawing the Black Sword, and performed “Sword Heart Engraving”.

This was an authentic Earth-level Technique.

Just the first sword technique, “Splitting Light Sword”, caused a powerful explosion that made the aloof woman’s body tremble.

She knew that if she faced this sword technique, she would definitely be knocked to the ground.

The subsequent two sword techniques were each stronger than the last.

Especially the final technique, “Heaven and Earth Star Fall”, just the terrifying momentum made her heart pound wildly, let alone withstand the explosive Sword Qi.

She clutched her wildly beating heart, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.

In her heart, there was no longer any thought that Jiang Fan had killed the Black Lotus by luck.

Nor did she have any intention of sparring with him.

With this kind of strength, she couldn’t handle even one move.

The most terrifying thing was, Jiang Fan sheathed his sword and said: “Are there any other Cultivation Techniques that Senior Sister would like to try?”

“No, no.” The aloof woman quickly declined.

She couldn’t withstand the previous ones, let alone the ultimate techniques?

She finally understood, Jiang Fan was not arrogant.

It was just that the difference in their strength was too great, a so-called simulated battle could end up seriously injuring or even killing her!

So Jiang Fan had demonstrated some of his techniques to give her a sense of the gap.

Thinking of this, her face flushed with embarrassment, she had been pressing him for Slaughter Techniques.

Now she didn’t even have the courage to fight.

She awkwardly said: “Junior Brother Jiang’s strength is unparalleled, I… I won’t show off.”

She quickly changed the topic, picking up Jiang Fan’s tea and handing it to him, saying:

“Junior Brother Jiang must be tired, have some tea.”

This was the best scenario, Jiang Fan was happy to oblige.

He was about to accept the tea.

But from outside the hall came urgent scolding.

The person was not yet present, but the voice had already arrived.

“Yi Lianxing, come at me if you have an issue!”

The person coming was none other than Yuan Zhiyu who was rushing over anxiously.

Knowing Jiang Fan had come to the Spirit Beast Sect, she was naturally delighted.

But upon learning that Jiang Fan had disciplined Yi Lianxing’s cousin and then came to the Task Hall.

She hurriedly rushed over.

Because she knew today was the monthly task submission day at the Spirit Beast Sect.

Yi Lianxing would definitely go to the Task Hall.

There was a chance they might bump into each other.

So she rushed all the way.

But, just as she burst into the main hall.

She was met with an astonishing scene.
