Chapter 60: Chapter 59: The Beginning_1
"Heh, sharp silver teeth, quite impressive!"
Sun Yan glared coldly at Fang Ren before continuing, "Isn't it 1,500 meters this afternoon? I just happen to be participating too. You might want to beg me now, maybe I'll let you save some face."
"Your mom! Believe it or not, this afternoon I'll make you beg me to let you off?" Li Xingwang got more and more irate.
Ranzi didn't do anything, yet this bunch of bastards always liked to stir up trouble, bullying people just because they had the advantage of being able to cultivate from birth.
Sun Yan glanced at Li Xingwang and ignored him; even Wang Shuai, the son of the head of the Public Security Bureau, didn't dare to provoke him lightly because of the gang-affiliated family backing him—naturally, Sun Yan didn't dare to, either.
"What's the matter, got nothing but your charms with the ladies? Lost even the slightest semblance of manly vigor?" Sun Yan continued, taunting Fang Ren.
In fact, as soon as Fang Ren heard Sun Yan boasting about teaching him a lesson in the 1,500 meters, he was outright stunned.
Does Sun Yan really want to embarrass himself?
In the past, even when he didn't have a Spiritual Root, his physical condition was already very good. Now, with a Spiritual Root, any gap between him and Cultivators had been bridged.
Just with that, Sun Yan, a minor Practitioner who hadn't broken through the Yuanxin Realm, couldn't compete with him even in a state without using True Qi.
Besides, he had Conceal Qi Pills on him. As long as he took one of those, as long as he didn't let his True Qi show, the monitors on the running track couldn't detect anything.
So no matter how you looked at it, it was Sun Yan who was looking for embarrassment.
"Who said that? Fang actually charms ladies in eight different places! You must be jealous that Fang has Qing'er as such a beautiful girlfriend!" Jian Qi'er immediately chimed in, not seeming clever, just foolish.
"Heh." Sun Yan glared coldly at Jian Qi'er.
Jian Qi'er quickly looked away meekly, but inside she was fuming, itching to draw a knife across his neck. What status did she have, to be glared at by him?
Fang Ren then tried to speak: "This afternoon's race..."
But before he could finish, Mu Huanqing suddenly stood up, her face icy as she stared at the opposing Sun Yan, "Is bullying the weak your idea of manly vigor?"
"Heh, Fang Ren, now you're even living off a woman?" Sun Yan sneered upon seeing this.
"Apologize!"
Buzz—
Mu Huanqing's eyes suddenly turned silver, and an invisible pressure emanated from her, speeding towards Sun Yan and the other two.
"..."
In an instant, the faces of Sun Yan and his two companions turned deathly pale, their faces frozen, the scorn wiped clean off them. Their eyes twitched as they stared at Mu Huanqing, their legs shaking visibly to those around them.
The three of them clenched their teeth hard before they realized they could just barely steady themselves.
"Let's go..."
Clenching his teeth, Sun Yan said to the two behind him and immediately dragged his shaking legs, releasing True Qi to help himself quickly make for the cafeteria exit.
Seeing this, the other two didn't linger. They too released True Qi to support themselves and hurriedly followed Sun Yan out.
"What the hell is going on?" Jing Haichuan watched puzzled as the other side made a hasty retreat.
Fang Ren looked at Mu Huanqing, who had shielded him, and smiled helplessly in his heart. His wife really acted like a protective maniac, always stepping in front of him.
Li Xingwang turned to look at Mu Huanqing, equally baffled: "Little sister-in-law, what kind of power is that, scaring them off with just a word?"
Fang Ren quickly tugged at Mu Huanqing's hand and laughed, "Maybe those guys just suddenly got a pressing need to pee."
Mu Huanqing immediately withdrew her silver pupils and sat back down, not looking very pleased, "Why is there always someone causing trouble for Ah Ran?"
"Can't help it. Who told Ranzi he found such a good wife? Just jealousy on their part," Jing Haichuan said with a laugh.
"Exactly, don't take it to heart, sis-in-law. Getting angry over this kind of person isn't worth it. These idiots are the kind that bully the weak and fear the strong in school; they find joy in this, their brains are sick," Li Xingwang also sat back down.
Mu Huanqing lost her appetite. She couldn't comprehend why there were so many people treating the hard-won peaceful life with such disregard when soldiers were sacrificing their lives on the front lines to secure it for them.
"Alright now, Wang is right, they're incurably brain-sick, it's not worth getting upset over," Fang Ren said, patting her head with a smile.
Mu Huanqing nodded, still somewhat unhappy.
But at that moment, Jian Qi'er was staring at Mu Huanqing in shock. However, it only took a few seconds for her to regain her composure, hastily picking up her chopsticks and pretending to eat calmly.
Those silver eyes, silver hair, and that aura of pressure... such a similar figure... Xuan Nv... she's still alive!
And right by her side!
Suddenly, she felt like any attempt to act normally came across as abnormal, no matter how many years of acting skills she had, she couldn't fully hide her behavior and expressions.
"Silly girl, are you really that clueless? The troublemakers just left, and now you're calmly chomping down your food?" Jing Haichuan couldn't help but say as he watched Jian Qi'er taking big bites of her meal.
"I... I just think you all make a lot of sense. We shouldn't let their craziness spoil our mood," Jian Qi'er said seriously.
...
"Damn it! Who is that woman? Just one look from her, and I'm sweating bullets!"
Outside the cafeteria, Sun Yan was still recalling the terrifying gaze that seemed as if it could crush him underfoot, his very soul struggling to flee his body.
"Brother Yan, she's definitely no mortal! That gaze alone says she must be at least from the Chongshan Realm. We're at least a whole Ruo Shui Realm away from her level!" a male student said in a panic-stricken voice.
"Yeah, to exert that kind of pressure, she has to be a high-level expert from the Chongshan Realm! Besides, I've heard that this girl came from Tianjiang Medical University. Although the students there mainly study medicine, many are also cultivation geniuses.
She must be one of them!" another male student added.
"This is just some rotten luck!" Sun Yan spat through clenched teeth.
A moment later, Sun Yan felt the talisman paper in his pocket, and his vengeful thoughts intensified.
Fang Ren, Fang Ren! Today, I will make you die miserably right on the sports field! I want over fifteen thousand people to witness your death!
Then I'll let your little girlfriend taste the bitterness of being unable to find the killer and only being able to weep helplessly!
------
Soon it was 2:00 PM, and all the students started to enter the stadium once more, the deafening music starting up again. The students who had just rested after lunch were clearly pumped with excitement.
And under the bustling cheers of the entire school, a murder was quietly unfolding.
Two new figures added themselves to a corner of the school bleachers, clearly Wang Cang and his father Wang Baidai.
Ever since Wang Baidai learned from Sha Baihe of the Tianjiang Investigation Group that the culprit who left his son in a vegetative state had been found, he was boiling with rage and wanted to slaughter that person.
But after Sha Baihe revealed everything about the Nightfall Organization to him, he suddenly thought he should prioritize the bigger picture—after all, eradicating the Nightfall Organization was a golden opportunity for him to rise through the ranks.
Since he could avenge his son and gain a promotion at the same time, why wouldn't he cooperate with Sha Baihe?
Today was the moment the culprit who killed his son would meet a wretched end, and he had to witness this scene firsthand to sate his vengeance.
However, regarding placing the assassination charm that Sha Baihe instructed them to do, Wang Baidai thought it best not to get himself and Wang Cang involved. After all, that act was like a magnet for all the Nightfall Organization's hatred.
If Sha Baihe couldn't protect them when the time came, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
So, he let Wang Cang give the assassination charm to Sun Yan. This way, when the Nightfall Organization sought revenge, it would have nothing to do with them, and they would still receive a reward. Why not?
At the same time, in a small restaurant outside the campus, Sha Baihe was sitting at a small table, sipping wine and enjoying his meal, continuously communicating with Wang Baidai and others through his cell phone.
Once the timing was perfect, the moment the Void Beast was released, Lin Bozhong would undoubtedly try to protect Fang Ren by subduing the Void Beast. But such a creature was not something he could conquer alone.
After Lin Bozhong was injured, Sha Baihe could go directly to kill the father-and-son duo of the Wang family to silence them, then turn around to eliminate Fang Ren, leaving the city in one fell swoop.
No one would know where the Void Beast came from, and the blame would fall on the dead Wang Baidai and his son.
"Male participants for the 1500-meter race, please proceed to the check-in area…"
As the announcement came from the host on the stage, Fang Ren ran over in a black sleeveless top and shorts, his body covered with lean and symmetrical muscle lines.
Arriving there, he naturally saw Sun Yan, who had been shouting at midday. Sun Yan was dressed in a white summer sports outfit, apparently, Cultivation System students preferred colors similar to their specialized uniforms.
"Make sure you don't embarrass yourself too much."
Right upon meeting, Sun Yan sneered at Fang Ren.
"How about you worry about yourself instead?" Fang Ren replied with a smile.
"Heh, let's see if you can still smile after this!"
Sun Yan glared at him fiercely, then walked towards a secluded corner of the crowd. He stuffed the prepared assassination charm into his race number bib, loosening the pins on the bib slightly.
He just had to run in front of Fang Ren and pretend to accidentally drop the bib. As soon as Fang Ren got close to the fallen bib, the assassination charm would activate immediately.
According to Wang Cang, once activated, the charm was completely invisible and intangible. Within three meters of the target, it could hit its mark unseen, destroying most of the victim's nerves and simulating a facade of dying from overexertion during exercise.
Everyone would only see that he dropped a race number and that Fang Ren had collapsed from overexertion. Other than the Nightfall Organization, no one would have evidence to suspect that he was the killer.
