Xiao Hua's hand, clutching the scissors, trembled even more. He had never imagined Zhao Dalei could be so shameless, not even caring about him.
"Since that's the case, today I'll die for you to see!"
Xiao Hua didn't hesitate. The scissors in his hand plunged towards his throat. At this point, he had no face to live. After all, Zhao Dalei wouldn't let him go. It was better to die and preserve his integrity.
"No!"
The villagers of Niutian Village cried out, their faces filled with worry. They never expected Xiao Hua to do such a thing.
*Zheng...*
Just then, a faint sound echoed. The scissors in Xiao Hua's hand fell to the ground, as if struck by a force.
"If you don't want to go with him, no one can force you!"
Lu Fan walked over. "There's no need to end your own life. Just live well!"
"Immortal Lu!"
The villagers of Niutian Village were surprised and filled with joy. If Lu Fan hadn't arrived, Xiao Hua might have met a tragic end.
"Who do you think you are, daring to speak to me like that?"
Zhao Dalei glared at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He hadn't expected a commoner like Lu Fan to dare to speak such words and oppose him.
"I'm just an ordinary person!"
Lu Fan smiled. "But I can't stand seeing you bully others with your influence!"
"I think you're tired of living, kid! Don't you know who you're standing in front of!"
Several men beside Zhao Dalei spoke coldly. "This is Young Master Zhao. He's not someone you can afford to offend!"
In response to their words, Lu Fan smiled. "It's best to forgive when you can. Besides, if someone doesn't want to, why force them? Isn't that just asking for trouble!"
"I've been in this Clear Water Town for so many years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this!"
Zhao Dalei looked at Lu Fan. "You're probably the first!"
"Perhaps so!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "But with me here, you won't be able to touch him!"
"Very good, very good!"
Zhao Dalei sneered. "Do you know who my brother is?"
"No matter who your brother is, I won't let you act recklessly!"
Lu Fan's eyes flashed with coldness. "If you don't believe me, feel free to try!"
Hearing these words, Zhao Dalei's expression turned grim. He coldly said, "Teach this kid a lesson. He's got quite a mouthful, daring to be so arrogant!"
Following his words, the men behind Zhao Dalei nodded and stepped forward, their gazes turning cold towards Lu Fan.
The villagers of Niutian Village also became worried. They knew how intimidating Zhao Dalei was. If Lu Fan truly clashed with them, it might lead to unforeseen trouble.
This was no ordinary matter for them.
Lu Fan hadn't intended to fight, but Zhao Dalei and his men's imposing manner displeased him. "Since you want to fight, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Quite the bold statement!"
A man beside him said coldly. "If we don't show you our strength today, you'll truly think we're toothless tigers!"
With that, the man lunged at Lu Fan without hesitation. In his eyes, Lu Fan was just an ordinary person, not worth mentioning.
The other men also attacked, showing no restraint. Lu Fan, ignorant of his own limitations and offending Zhao Dalei, was walking towards his own demise.
Zhao Dalei stood aside, looking gleeful. He wanted to see Lu Fan groveling and begging for mercy.
However, at this moment, Lu Fan remained calm. He simply turned around, unleashing a powerful spiritual energy that sent everyone flying.
After being repelled, the men looked at Lu Fan in disbelief. They never imagined Lu Fan possessed such capabilities.
"An immortal! He's actually an immortal!"
The men exclaimed, their gazes towards Lu Fan filled with fear. They knew very well the power of an immortal. If they wished, they could be utterly annihilated.
"How could he be an immortal!"
Zhao Dalei's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Lu Fan, utterly incredulous. An immortal appearing in Niutian Village was truly extraordinary.
"Don't trouble them anymore in the future!"
Lu Fan said. "I can spare your life today, but if I return to Niutian Village in the future and something happens to them, I will definitely hold you accountable!"
"Even if you are an immortal, you shouldn't be so arrogant!"
Zhao Dalei said coldly. "My brother is also an immortal, and he's a direct disciple of the Clear Water Sect. If you offend me, you'll regret it."
"What, it seems you're determined to cross me today?"
Lu Fan's eyes instantly turned sharp as he looked at Zhao Dalei. He hadn't wanted to resort to this, but it seemed he had to make a move to deter them.
Zhao Dalei's expression shifted in surprise. He could sense Lu Fan's powerful aura and realized Lu Fan intended to threaten him.
"Forget it, this matter ends here today!"
Zhao Dalei said, giving the villagers of Niutian Village a fierce glare before turning to leave, his gaze filled with malice.
Watching Zhao Dalei's retreating back, the villagers of Niutian Village had grim expressions. They could tell Zhao Dalei would not let them off easily.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Hua looked at Lu Fan, unsure how to express his gratitude.
At this moment, the villagers of Niutian Village were also deeply moved. Lu Fan had no ties to Niutian Village, yet he was willing to help. This was a great kindness.
"You don't need to thank me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "After all, we've met. How could I stand by and watch Zhao Dalei bully the people of Niutian Village!"
"Immortal Lu, you should leave quickly!"
Jiang Dahe said solemnly. "From what I know of Zhao Dalei, he will never let you off easily. He has never feared anyone in Clear Water Town, nor has he ever suffered a loss. How could he tolerate being bullied by you!"
"It's alright!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Judging by his eyes just now, he probably won't let the villagers of Niutian Village off easily. Since that's the case, it's better to go all the way. Tonight, I'll deal with him!"
The villagers of Niutian Village were startled. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to have such a thought. If this were to happen, the entire Clear Water Town would likely be grateful to Lu Fan.
"Immortal Lu, please don't do anything foolish!"
Jiang Dahe quickly warned. "If you do that, wouldn't it invite a fatal disaster? How would Immortal Lu handle that situation?"
"It's alright, as long as you can be safe. After all, I can't drag you down!"
Lu Fan stated frankly. "Besides, if I assassinate him secretly, no one will know it was me, and no one will trace it back to me!"
After saying this, Lu Fan left Niutian Village, not intending to stay there. After all, he had a target tonight: to eliminate Zhao Dalei. Only then could he leave with peace of mind.
