Chapter Eight: Bringing Them All Down

The contest between Feng Shao and Yan Chuan was completely devoid of suspense.

In the eyes of everyone from the Great River Sect, at most Feng Shao would use his superior cultivation to humiliate Yan Chuan a little. As long as Yan Chuan survived, they would simply turn a blind eye. But who could have foreseen such an outcome?

Feng Shao was nearly killed by a single grape from Yan Chuan?

Had they not witnessed it themselves, none of them would have believed it possible. Even if they reported the matter back to the sect, no one there would believe it either.

A grape? Just one grape?

While feeling the absurdity of it all, the crowd grew increasingly anxious. If Feng Shao died, what would they do? How could they explain it to the sect?

Not only Feng Shao, who was foaming at the mouth, but nearly everyone present was sweating anxiously.

“If you don’t want him to die, stand aside!” Yan Chuan’s voice suddenly rang out.

Just moments ago, he had ignored the matter, but now he found himself pleading with Yan Chuan—something Jiang Nan struggled to accept. Yet as the leader of this expedition, he could not disregard Feng Shao’s fate.

“Huoguang!”

“Your servant is here!” Huoguang answered excitedly.

The lofty immortal sect members, who had looked down on everyone moments ago, were now begging the prince for help? For a moment, not only the Silver Armored Army but even Huoguang felt a surge of pride and excitement.

“Turn Feng Shao upside down!” Yan Chuan commanded coolly.

“Yes!” Huoguang stepped forward immediately.

The gathered experts watched Huoguang closely, but had no choice but to hand Feng Shao over to him.

Huoguang, trembling with excitement, grabbed a man who had once seemed so high and mighty and twisted him like wringing a dead dog.

“Liu Jin, strike his back hard
