After Fang Han stood up, he merely glanced indifferently at Champion Marquis Li Hong without saying a word.
He possessed an incredibly powerful divine sense, which was like an invisible net covering a vast area.
Previously, the Champion Marquis and others had been hiding in a deep valley. Fang Han had already clearly heard their words and their hidden purposes through his divine sense.
Therefore, he knew the identity of the champion, Hou Lihong, very well.
Fang Han felt nothing but contempt for this arrogant and power-abusing Marquis.
In his eyes, Champion Hou Li Hong was nothing more than a clown with a hollow reputation who bullied others.
But when Champion Marquis Li Hong saw that Fang Han completely ignored him and didn't say a word, his anger instantly flared up like a volcano about to erupt.
He suddenly reached out and removed the heavy armor and helmet from his head, revealing a face twisted with rage. He glared at Fang Han and shouted, "Who are you, brat? Didn't you hear what I just said? How dare you ignore me like this!"
Fang Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint, somewhat mocking smile. He said unhurriedly, "'This Marquis'? What kind of monkey are you? Are you some kind of monkey that leaps and bounds in the mountains?"
His tone was relaxed and casual, yet it was full of contempt for the champion, Hou Lihong.
Although Fang Han did not truly intend to become a Daoist partner with Tantai Qiuyue at this moment, matters of the heart should be left to nature and not forced.
However, he had his own bottom line and principles, and he would never allow someone like Li Hong, who had ulterior motives and poor character, to lay a finger on Tantai Qiuyue.
In his eyes, Tantai Qiuyue was such a pure, beautiful, and extraordinary woman that only someone truly worthy of her could be her match.
Therefore, if Champion Marquis Li Hong continues to be so aggressive and ungrateful, Fang Han has already made up his mind that he would not hesitate to teach this arrogant champion a profound lesson.
Meanwhile, You Sanqian, clad in battle armor, led a hundred elite heavily armored soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army, charging forward with lightning speed.
The rapid sound of horses' hooves made the ground tremble slightly.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the scene before them took them by surprise, and an indescribable feeling of astonishment welled up in their hearts.
Among the members of the Demon Suppression Division, more than a dozen people had miraculously survived and were healing their wounds. In contrast, the hundred or so ferocious demonic beasts had all fallen to the ground, their deaths gruesome, with none escaping unscathed.
What shocked them even more was that on the flat ground atop the mountain, there were still many large craters left by lightning strikes, deep and terrifying, as if they were traces left by the most violent forces in the world.
This scene undoubtedly left You Sanqian and the others even more puzzled.
After all, to their knowledge, among the thirty-odd people in the Demon Suppression Division, including the peerless beauty Tantai Qiuyue, there were no experts with profound magical skills.
The power of this thunder and lightning was clearly beyond the capabilities of ordinary sorcerers; it must have been the work of a highly skilled master with extraordinary magical abilities.
Therefore, You Sanqian and the others' first reaction was that a powerful magic expert must have secretly helped them, which allowed Tantai Qiuyue and the others to survive.
As a result, the Marquis of Champion's original plan to save Tantai Qiuyue when she was in mortal danger, and thus win the beauty's heart, was completely thwarted.
However, when their gazes inadvertently swept over the tiger-faced leopard lord-level monster that had been cut in half, a new wave of shock surged within them.
Such a gruesome death could not have been caused by magic; it must have been the work of a master swordsman of extraordinary skill.
It seems that the expert who helped Tantai Qiuyue and the others kill the monster was not only proficient in magic, but also a master swordsman.
But looking around, apart from Fang Han, a seemingly ordinary young man, no other experts from the Demon Suppression Division were found.
In the eyes of You Sanqian and other experts of the Demon Suppression Army, Fang Han, a young man, could not possibly be an expert who could easily kill a lord-level demon beast like the Tiger-Faced Leopard.
Moreover, they noticed that the Champion Marquis had removed his helmet, revealing a murderous face that was staring intently at Fang Han.
Judging from this situation, it's not hard for them to guess that Fang Han must have offended the powerful champion Marquis Li Hong. In that case, the young man's fate is probably already sealed with a tragic ending.
"I am Marquis Li Hong, and you dare to call me a monkey? Hmph, even Xiao Zhan, the head of the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Prince of Zhenbei, wouldn't dare to show me the slightest disrespect and would only treat me with courtesy. How dare you speak to me so rudely, brat? Do you want to die?"
The next moment, Champion Marquis glared at Fang Han and roared, his face as dark and gloomy as the sky before a storm.
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and lived a life of luxury. He had never been so humiliated and ridiculed.
Moreover, he personally witnessed Fang Han embracing Tantai Qiuyue, which fueled his murderous intent towards Fang Han.
"So what if he's the Marquis of Champion? It's just an empty title. What's there to be proud of?"
Despite the champion's angry rebuke, Fang Han remained calm, as if everything was within his expectations. He responded casually, his tone revealing a detached and unrestrained spirit.
"Is the title of Marquis of Champion merely an empty name?"
This enraged not only Marquis Li Hong, but also his subordinates You Sanqian and others. You Sanqian immediately pointed his long sword at Fang Han and said, "Who are you, brat, daring to humiliate the Marquis like this? You'd better kneel down and apologize to the Marquis right now, or I'll send you to your grave!"
