Chapter 10 Desert Eagle Shoots Xu Fu
Zhao Gao's accusations, though they sound like a mad dog biting wildly!
But in the imperial court, it caused the minds of the officials to fluctuate wildly.
Zhang Fan appeared out of nowhere at Xianyang Palace yesterday. Although this matter was kept secret, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace were gossiping about it, and the rumors had already reached the ears of many ministers.
Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, the way the officials looked at Zhang Fan changed.
There is a fear of the unknown, a desire for power, and a deep-seated apprehension like that of Zhao Gao.
If this person truly possesses sorcery, then the political landscape of the court will likely be completely reshuffled!
Ying Zheng sat high on the dragon platform, his eyes slightly narrowed.
He glanced at Zhang Fan in the corner, a meaningful smile playing on his lips:
"Zhang Fan!"
"Zhao Gao says you're a sorcerer who wants to disrupt the Qin Dynasty. What explanation do you have?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried immense weight.
Zhang Fan looked up, his gaze piercing through the hall, meeting Ying Zheng's eyes.
It only lasted for a moment.
But he understood the deeper meaning behind those eyes.
This is a test, and also a pledge of allegiance.
Ying Zheng was telling him: I can trust you!
But can he control these ruthless and cunning officials in the court?
Whether you can make those arrogant people like Li Si and Wang Jian kneel down depends on your own abilities!
To gain a foothold here, being a celestial being alone is not enough.
We must establish our authority!
We must terrify them! Terrify them to the core!
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan took a deep breath and straightened the ill-fitting hem of his clothes.
Followed by.
He strode out from the shadows in full view of everyone.
Zhang Fan wore a faint smile, his gaze sweeping over Zhao Gao, over Li Si, and over the powerful and influential figures with mocking expressions, before finally proclaiming in a loud voice:
"Explanation? I don't need to explain to ants."
boom!
mad!
That's insane!
The faces of all the civil and military officials instantly turned extremely ugly.
Zhang Fan, however, seemed not to notice, standing with his hands behind his back, his voice as calm as still water:
"But since Your Majesty has asked, I will speak frankly."
"Indeed, I possess power that you cannot comprehend. Call me an immortal or a demon, it doesn't matter."
"But I am different from those charlatans like Zhao Gao and Xu Fu who swindle and deceive, and wreak havoc on the court."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu, who had been kneeling and trembling to the side, suddenly changed his expression.
It's unclear whether they were driven to the brink or were trying to salvage their last shred of dignity.
Xu Fu suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared hysterically:
"Nonsense!!"
"Since you are an immortal, what means do you have to prove it?"
Xu Fu staggered to his feet, pointed at Zhang Fan, his face contorted with madness:
"I, Xu Fu, have spent my entire life refining elixirs and deceiving people! I know it better than anyone!"
"There are no immortals in this world! There is no elixir of immortality! All miracles are tricks! All sorcerers are frauds!!"
"You're nothing more than a more sophisticated conman!"
"Want to kill me? What right do you have to kill me? With your mouth?"
The entire room fell silent.
The ministers looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
No one expected that Xu Fu would actually self-destruct at this critical juncture!
Furthermore, it directly refuted all claims about ghosts and gods!
Zhang Fan smiled slightly and said...
"Killing you would be an easy task for me."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Fu laughed wildly, his laughter chilling and menacing. "Fine! I'll see what kind of magic you have that can kill me!"
"I'm standing right here! Come on! Kill me!!"
He's taking a gamble!
They're gambling with their lives!
I bet Zhang Fan is a fraud too!
If Zhang Fan makes a fool of himself in public, the situation will descend into chaos!
He was able to find a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos!
Zhang Fan ignored his shouts, instead turning to bow slightly to Ying Zheng, his tone calm.
"Your Majesty, since this man is seeking death, I dare to request that his life be used to set things right!"
Ying Zheng sat on the high platform, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes, and nodded slightly:
"allow!"
Having received approval, Zhang Fan turned around to face Xu Fu, who was a dozen steps away.
The atmosphere froze at that moment.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Zhang Fan's hand, wanting to see what kind of magic weapon this "immortal" would pull out.
Is it a flying sword?
Or is it a talisman?
Or perhaps a thunderbolt from the palm?
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Zhang Fan slowly reached into his robes.
next moment.
A strangely shaped metal lump, gleaming with a cold silver light, appeared in Zhang Fan's hand.
Desert Eagle!
Those lines, so full of industrial violence, that cold and austere metallic texture.
Even people from the Qin Dynasty who knew nothing about firearms could instinctively feel a strange chill running straight to the top of their heads!
Even the battle-hardened general Wang Jian's eyelids twitched suddenly, and his muscles tensed instantly!
What kind of weapon is this?
I've never seen anything like it before! Yet it sends chills down my spine!
Zhang Fan held the gun in one hand, his arm outstretched, his movements precise and steady.
The dark muzzle of the gun, from a distance of more than ten steps, was fixed firmly on Xu Fu's forehead.
When Xu Fu was pointed at by that thing, his arrogant demeanor instantly froze, and it felt as if something was stuck in his throat.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds...
Time passed slowly, and the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
however.
Nothing happened.
There wasn't even the slightest sound!
Xu Fu was so nervous that his whole body stiffened, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead and into his eyes, causing unbearable stinging.
But after waiting for a long time and seeing that he was unharmed, the fear of death instantly dissipated, replaced by the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and the excitement of winning the gamble!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Fu pointed at Zhang Fan, laughing so hard he almost fell over, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Is this your magic? Is this all you've got?"
"Pointing at me with this weird lump of metal? Are you trying to make me laugh?"
"I think you're a complete joke! You can't kill me! You're a total fraud!"
Xu Fu's mocking voice echoed throughout the hall.
The courtiers began to whisper among themselves, their eyes revealing disappointment and disdain.
A spark of hope rekindled in Zhao Gao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth even began to turn up.
Sudden.
Zhang Fan looked at the Desert Eagle in his hand and frowned slightly.
He didn't panic; instead, he scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
Immediately afterwards, a whisper that left everyone baffled rang out clearly in the hall:
"Oops... I forgot this time, it turns out I didn't activate the insurance."
Zhang Fan's casual mutterings clearly reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
insurance?
What is insurance?
Before anyone could understand this unfamiliar term, the others had already begun to grasp its meaning.
Zhang Fan extended his left thumb and placed it on the side of the silver metal lump.
then.
With a casual "click," it was gently turned.
It was a crisp, metallic sound with a mechanical quality.
Just as Xu Fu's smile was still frozen on his face, just as he opened his mouth, wanting to continue his mockery, the moment came.
Zhang Fan gently tapped his index finger.
"Bang!!!"
An unprecedentedly loud bang suddenly exploded inside the Qilin Hall without any warning!
The entire palace seemed to tremble, and dust fell from the beams!
The sound pierced everyone's eardrums, leaving their minds blank and buzzing!
