Chapter 6049: What Kind of Honored Guest Are You?

Xiao Fan perfectly illustrated what it meant to be a powerful official.

Once he killed Shangguan Hongwu, he could take his time searching for the disciple token.

Shangguan Hongwu had come with ill intent, but it was certain that he couldn't use Divine Abilities against Xiao Fan.

However, at that moment, Xiao Fan's hand, which was gripping Shangguan Hongwu's neck, went numb.

"Hmm?!" Xiao Fan was startled, and his hand suddenly let go.

Shangguan Hongwu fell to the ground, his face flushed with anger.

"Wave your hand," Wu Tongtian's annoyed voice sounded in Shangguan Hongwu's ear.

The reason Wu Tongtian was annoyed wasn't because of Xiao Fan's overbearing nature, but because Shangguan Hongwu was such a useless waste!!

Even with the Emperor's support, he was nearly strangled to death by Xiao Fan!

If that wasn't being a waste, what was?!

Hearing Wu Tongtian's words, Shangguan Hongwu immediately waved his hand toward Xiao Fan.

With a "boom," a gust of astral wind rose from the ground.

Xiao Fan's expression stiffened as he retreated step by step.

He retreated a full dozen steps before finally stopping.

The opponent could use Divine Abilities?!

Though it wasn't strong, it was enough!

In the imperial court, the assembled officials were all stunned.

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, did you see that? It's not that this deity doesn't know Divine Abilities, I just didn't want to use them, understand?" Shangguan Hongwu slowly stood up, gritting his teeth as he looked at Xiao Fan. "Because you are a Mortal! I didn't want to use Divine Abilities to intervene or become tainted by Karma! But you'd better not push me! Otherwise…"

"Otherwise what?!" Xiao Fan frowned, his expression still showing no sign of panic.

"Otherwise? Hehehe… with a simple wave of my hand, this deity can kill you," Shangguan Hongwu said coldly.

"Kill me with a simple wave of your hand? Laughable." Xiao Fan shook his head dismissively.

"In all my years, I've never seen someone as arrogant as you." Xiao Fan let out a breath, walked over to a Guard nearby, and drew the saber from the man's waist.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked again.

"Xiao Fan, what are you trying to do?!" Shangguan Hongwu exclaimed.

"What am I doing? I'm going to slaughter you! Let's see if you still care about Karma then!" Xiao Fan walked toward Shangguan Hongwu step by step.

Shangguan Hongwu was fuming, his eyes darting around.

"Stomp your foot," Wu Tongtian's voice appeared in Shangguan Hongwu's ear.

Without a word, Shangguan Hongwu immediately stomped his foot hard.

With a "boom," the stone tiles of the great hall cracked all at once, and the room shook violently.

Many officials couldn't keep their footing, some even falling to the floor.

The Emperor was the same, nearly falling off his Dragon throne.

"Hehehe… Xiao Fan, did you see that? If I wanted to kill you, it would be effortless. You'd better not try anything reckless," Shangguan Hongwu sneered.

Xiao Fan's brow furrowed as he suddenly realized something.

He abruptly threw the long saber in his hand toward Shangguan Hongwu's head.

Shangguan Hongwu was startled and kept backing away.

Suddenly, the long saber stopped dead in front of Shangguan Hongwu and slowly fell to the ground.

Shangguan Hongwu, still shaken, glared at Xiao Fan with gritted teeth.

"Xiao Fan! You have no martial ethics! A sneak attack!"

"A sneak attack? Ridiculous." Xiao Fan sneered and scanned his surroundings.

Judging from Shangguan Hongwu's reaction just now, he hadn't recovered his Divine Abilities at all.

It proved that someone was helping him in the shadows.

This was a competition arranged by Ting Yue Immortal King.

It was supposed to be about fairness.

There were likely only two people who could disrupt that fairness.

The first was Ting Yue Immortal King, and the second was Wu Tongtian.

No matter which one of them intervened, it was lethal for Xiao Fan.

But there was one advantage: they didn't want to kill him.

Analyzing it this way, it was probably either Ting Yue Immortal King or Wu Tongtian who saw him being too arrogant and without opponents, so they helped Shangguan Hongwu.

Of course.

These were all just Xiao Fan's speculations.

But it didn't matter; what he could be certain of was that Shangguan Hongwu could not use Divine Abilities against him.

That was enough.

He couldn't kill Shangguan Hongwu, and Shangguan Hongwu couldn't kill him.

From then on, it would be a contest of power and schemes.

"Your Majesty! Did you see that? This Xiao Fan dared to try and kill your honored guest right in front of you! Truly, hehehe… he doesn't take Your Majesty seriously at all," Shangguan Hongwu sneered, looking at the Emperor.

Hearing this, the Emperor's expression stiffened as he looked coldly at Xiao Fan.

"Honored guest? Hahahaha… Shangguan Hongwu, is this 'honored guest' you're talking about yourself?!" Xiao Fan laughed wildly.

"That's right, is it not?!"

"Ridiculous. What kind of honored guest are you?" Xiao Fan shook his head dismissively and walked up to Shangguan Hongwu step by step.

*Slap!*

Xiao Fan slapped Shangguan Hongwu hard.

Everyone was stunned once more.

"You… you dare hit me?!" Shangguan Hongwu clutched his face, looking at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

"I'm hitting exactly you! What are you going to do about it?!" Xiao Fan sneered.

If he couldn't be killed directly, what did Xiao Fan have to fear?!
