Chapter 207 Defeat the bully and seize the Arhat statue!
Su Fan gave an "oh," then looked at Lin Yu with interest and asked, "What kind of background could this guy have? Could he possibly be stronger than a Chinese person like me from America?"
Lin Yu nodded, his expression grave: "This middle-aged man is a local tyrant in South Korea, a big boss among the Chinese."
As Lin Yu spoke, he glanced at the portly middle-aged man, lowered his voice, and continued:
"I heard that when the Chinese from India first arrived, they snatched a statue of a Chinese deity that he had his eye on. Afterwards, he had some people beat the Chinese from India to a pulp. They almost beat him to death."
After hearing this, Su Fan asked curiously, "This person is so arrogant, doesn't the South Korean government do anything about it? Do they just let him do this?"
Lin Yu nodded and sighed.
"There's nothing we can do. I heard that the middle-aged man has connections in the upper echelons of South Korea, and the high-ranking officials of other countries were just sending Chinese people to their deaths to attack China. They won't care if he gets killed."
Upon hearing this, a hint of seriousness flashed in Su Fan's eyes.
This is quite troublesome!
Although Ma Tao was there, he wasn't afraid of the pot-bellied middle-aged man.
However, if they were to injure or kill this middle-aged man, the higher-ups in South Korea might cause them trouble.
Things will become difficult then, and they may very well be exposed as a result.
Su Fan didn't want to overlook other powerful Chinese deity statues just because of this one statue of the Arhat Subduing the Tiger.
Since that's the case, we can only temporarily give him the statue of the Arhat Subduing the Tiger, and then let Ma Tao find an opportunity to snatch it back later.
Su Fan sighed and said, "Then let this statue of the Chinese deity be..."
Before Su Fan could finish speaking, he heard the middle-aged man burst into laughter.
"You seem quite dissatisfied with me."
Su Fan's eyes were icy as he said, "How could I dare? Your price is too high; I can't afford it."
The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Yu beside him and said with a grin:
"Did he say something to you? How about this, we'll have a fair competition for this Chinese deity statue. You fight me, and if you win, I'll give you the Chinese deity statue, how about it?"
Su Fan knew that the middle-aged man had no good intentions.
The middle-aged man saw that the man had too much money and wanted to embarrass him in front of everyone, and teach him a lesson.
Su Fan thought this was great news!
Su Fan was also worried about not having a chance to retrieve the Arhat Subduing Tiger statue, so he smiled confidently.
"Okay, I promise."
The middle-aged man was taken aback when Su Fan actually accepted the challenge. After a moment of stunned silence, a smug look appeared on his face.
Su Fan's willingness to accept the challenge suited his wishes perfectly.
The middle-aged man flexed his wrists and moved closer to Su Fan.
The bodyguards quickly cleared the area, leaving enough space for everyone.
People gathered around, watching Su Fan and the middle-aged man with curiosity.
"Isn't that middle-aged man the Chinese boss in South Korea?"
"Yes, it's said he has connections with high-ranking officials in South Korea and often acts violently and tyrannically in this area..."
"Hey! Are you out of your mind? Speaking so loudly, be careful his bodyguards don't hear you."
"The person fighting him is in big trouble; they'll be severely crippled if not killed!"
"Although this middle-aged man is arrogant, he still possesses the strength of a fifth-level cultivator."
Lin Yu looked at Su Fan with concern and whispered to him:
"Brother Jia, this middle-aged man has the strength of a fifth-tier cultivator. Are you up to the task?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fan's forehead was covered in black lines.
He looked at Lin Yu speechlessly. If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. What do you mean by "can I or can't I"?
How can a man say no!
After Lin Yu said that, Su Fan had no choice but to say yes, even if he couldn't!
Lin Yu noticed Su Fan's gaze and realized he might have said something wrong, so he quickly tried to make amends.
"What I mean is, can you beat him?"
Su Fan nodded and said seriously:
"Don't worry, just watch me."
Only Ma Tao stood to the side, his expression unchanged.
The people here may not know Su Fan's strength, but he does.
Facing a fifth-tier Divine Master, Su Fan, with his fourth-tier strength, could easily defeat him.
Besides, with him by his side, even if something dangerous happens, he can quickly protect Su Fan.
After the site was cleared, the middle-aged man smiled and gestured for Su Fan to proceed.
Su Fan didn't stand on ceremony with him and directly summoned the Deer-Lu Sword, the weapon of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.
Of the Chinese deities that Su Fan contracted with, he had never used the abilities of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng.
He had already used the powers of other Chinese deities in the live stream, so Su Fan couldn't use their abilities.
Otherwise, it would be easy for the people here to recognize you.
In particular, he was even less able to use the abilities of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
This is the signature deity of Su Fan's contract; its use will inevitably be discovered.
When the middle-aged man saw Su Fan summon the Deer-shaped Sword and sensed that Su Fan only had the strength of a fourth-tier cultivator, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"A mere fourth-tier Divine Master summoning a broken sword? Who are you trying to scare?!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a pair of huge axes appeared in his hands.
At the same time, the divine shadow of a Chinese deity appeared behind him.
The figure was burly and robust, with skin as black as charcoal, reddish-yellow straight eyebrows, bloodshot eyes, and hair standing on end like an iron brush.
His face was ferocious and menacing, and he held two huge battle axes in his hands, exuding an imposing aura.
Su Fan took a closer look and immediately recognized the true name of the divine figure.
It was none other than Li Kui, the Black Whirlwind!
Those watching nearby sighed with regret.
"I was hoping that the young man could beat up this bully, but now it seems there's no hope."
"Judging from this, I don't know if that young man can withstand the bully's axe."
"That broken little sword, if that bully chopped it down in one swing of his axe, it'd break in two, wouldn't it?"
"What a pity for such a handsome young man..."
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, wielding his axe with impressive skill and power.
"Hahaha! Scared now? Too late!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man brandished his axe and charged at Su Fan.
Su Fan stood still, his eyes calm. When the middle-aged man approached, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and nimbly dodged the man's vicious slash.
The middle-aged man was visibly taken aback when he saw Su Fan dodge his attack.
Then he realized what was happening and said with a ferocious expression:
"Hey, you've got pretty good reflexes, haven't you? But..."
"If you can dodge one attack, can you dodge a second one?!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he swung his axe again, stomped his foot on the ground, and his body shot out.
Almost instantly, the middle-aged man was in front of Su Fan.
Su Fan was able to magnify and see the middle-aged man's ferocious face.
Caught off guard by the middle-aged man, Su Fan could no longer dodge, so he could only raise his Lulu sword to block the man's huge axe.
The difference in size caused the onlookers to close their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the bloody scene.
"This young man is probably going to be cleaved in two. Such a huge pair of axes, and such a tiny sword..."
boom--
A tremendous sound rang out, shaking the surrounding air.
Everyone experienced temporary hearing loss.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw a scene that surprised everyone.
From their perspective, Su Fan actually managed to steadily block two huge battle axes with a small sword.
The Deer-Hair Sword emitted a faint light, completely neutralizing the power of the giant battle axe.
The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? How could your strength possibly surpass mine?"
The middle-aged man was extremely shocked. Based on his many encounters with the Divine Masters, none of the Divine Masters of lower rank than him were stronger than him.
Almost every guardian he struck with his double-bladed axe was forced back by the force of his blows.
Even worse, a huge impact to the chest can cause blood to spurt out.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone like Su Fan who could reliably block his attacks.
The middle-aged man roared and pressed down harder, trying to force Su Fan to submit.
Su Fan sneered, circulating his divine power and pushing upwards forcefully.
The middle-aged man was so shaken by the force that he staggered backward and almost fell.
The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with shock and admiration as they looked at Su Fan.
"Damn, I thought this kid couldn't withstand one move from the bully, but it seems he was just pretending to be weak!"
"Is this really a fourth-tier Divine Master? How could he defeat a fifth-tier Divine Master so easily?"
"Well done, young man. I've been wanting to get rid of this bully for a while now, and you beat him up today. Well done!"
"This bully is all show and no substance! A fifth-tier Divine Master can't even beat a fourth-tier Divine Master..."
Hearing some mocking voices around him, the middle-aged man became enraged, and the divine shadow of Li Kui behind him shone brightly.
The middle-aged man brandished his axe again, attacking Su Fan with overwhelming force.
Su Fan remained calm and composed, using his agile footwork to move around while using the Deer-Lu Sword to block some attacks.
The Deer-Lu Sword spun nimbly in Su Fan's hand, drawing dazzling sword shadows and blocking attacks that were sure to hit.
Su Fan moved like a ghost through the middle-aged man's attacks, while secretly searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
It was at this moment that, despite the continuous swinging of the axe, the middle-aged man's attacks became less fluid.
Su Fan seized the opportunity and thrust his sword into the middle-aged man's chest.
The middle-aged man was terrified and quickly dodged to the side, but was still cut on the arm by the sword.
Blood stained his sleeves, and the middle-aged man stared at his wound, his eyes filled with terror.
The middle-aged man knew he had met his match today.
This is no longer a fourth-tier Divine Master; this is even stronger than him, a fifth-tier Divine Master.
However, this only applies when supernatural powers are not used.
The middle-aged man believed that if he used supernatural powers, Su Fan would be no match for him.
The middle-aged man steadied himself and took a deep breath.
The divine figure of Li Kui behind him suddenly shone brightly, and his aura surged dramatically. The middle-aged man shouted:
"Divine Power - Wild Axe Dance!"
The middle-aged man brandished his axe, and countless axe shadows instantly enveloped Su Fan, leaving no gaps.
Those watching the fight quickly moved aside to avoid being accidentally injured.
"What a pity! After this bully used his supernatural powers, this young man has no chance of winning. There is still a difference in their cultivation levels."
"This is so unfair! They shouldn't be allowed to use supernatural powers in the competition."
"..."
Upon seeing this fierce attack, Su Fan's eyes sharpened, and his divine power surged wildly within him, causing the Deer-Lu Sword to radiate a dazzling light.
Su Fan also shouted loudly.
"Divine Power - Deer-Shadow Sword Shadow!"
Su Fan swiftly thrust the Deer-Slaying Sword forward, unleashing a series of sharp sword shadows to meet the axe's shadow.
In an instant, the shadows of swords and axes clashed and collided, creating a deafening roar.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding crowd retreated again, fearing they would be affected by the powerful force.
The sword and axe shadows raged in the air for a while before disappearing simultaneously.
The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never expected that Su Fan, a mere fourth-tier Divine Master, could use his divine abilities to contend with him.
"How can your supernatural powers be so strong? What level of Chinese deity did you contract with?"
The middle-aged man asked loudly.
Su Fan ignored him, gave him a cold look, and then flashed forward to attack him.
"Divine Power - Deer-Slaying Sword Slash!"
Su Fan moved with lightning speed, his Deer-shaped Sword slashing towards the middle-aged man with a fierce aura.
The middle-aged man was terrified and hurriedly raised his axe to defend himself.
However, Su Fan's attack was so powerful that the middle-aged man's arm went numb and he almost dropped his axe.
Su Fan pressed his advantage, unleashing a continuous barrage of sword strikes, each imbued with immense divine power.
The middle-aged man was struggling to keep up and gradually began to find it difficult to defend himself.
The surrounding crowd was stunned, never expecting Su Fan to be so powerful, completely suppressing a fifth-tier God Controlling.
"No, is this really a fourth-tier Divine Master?"
The middle-aged man was so suppressed by Su Fan that he couldn't even unleash his supernatural powers.
Just then, Su Fan seized the opportunity and stabbed the middle-aged man in the leg with his sword.
The middle-aged man screamed and fell to the ground.
Su Fan used the Deer-Lu Sword to knock the double axes out of the middle-aged man's hand, then pointed the Deer-Lu Sword at the middle-aged man's throat.
"You lost!"
Su Fan looked at the middle-aged man with murderous intent in his eyes and said.
The middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he stared at Su Fan in terror.
"I'm the leader of the Chinese community in South Korea, and I know high-ranking officials in South Korea. You can't kill me!"
The middle-aged man swallowed hard as he spoke.
Su Fan sneered.
"Kill you? You're not worthy!"
"A bet's a bet, and now this Arhat statue subduing the tiger is mine."
After saying that, Su Fan put away the Lulu Sword and walked towards the statue of the Chinese deity.
Lin Yu ran over excitedly, his face full of admiration.
"Brother Jia, you're amazing! I knew you could do it!"
Ma Tao nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.
The middle-aged man's bodyguards looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
