On the other side.
Su Long stared at Ling Fan in disbelief.
As if trying to see through Ling Fan’s heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, to see what was so unusual about him…
This young man she had always looked down upon.
Was actually a Xuan-tier Armorsmith she had to look up to!
This was difficult for her to accept.
Beside her, Hua Yue covered her small mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with astonishment and shock.
She looked at Ling Fan’s face, which could only be described as handsome, and was momentarily captivated.
She felt as if his face emanated a faint, ethereal glow, filled with an indescribable charm.
No wonder this young man had been so calm and composed from beginning to end, unfazed, as if nothing in the world could stir the slightest emotional change in him.
So this was his confidence!
Such a young Xuan-tier Armorsmith.
It was simply unbelievable.
For a moment, everyone was lost in their own thoughts.
All waiting for Ling Fan to speak.
Because they knew that the power of speech now rested with Ling Fan.
This young man was no longer an ordinary person.
He was a dignified Xuan-tier Armorsmith whose words could decide the fate of Steward Huang and Boss Yan. Even in Tian Chu City, a place teeming with experts and flooded with the powerful, he was a truly significant figure!
Ling Fan lowered his gaze, glancing at Steward Huang and Boss Yan.
“I said, if you had knelt down and begged for mercy, calling yourself a fat pig a hundred times, I would have only broken your legs and spared your life. But you didn’t seize the opportunity.”
Ling Fan stopped, saying no more.
However, his indifferent words sent a chill through Steward Huang and Boss Yan.
Steward Huang quickly said, “I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Master Ling! I am a fat pig, a dead fat pig. I was blind and offended your friend, offended you. I deserve to die! Please, just let me go like a fart!”
As he begged for mercy, he also slapped himself repeatedly.
Ling Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
Liu Han, standing beside him, understood Ling Fan’s intention.
A flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes,
Boom!
He made his move.
An incredibly powerful martial aura erupted like rolling waves, covering the area ahead.
Steward Huang had already been on guard.
He was also a late-stage Xuan-gang realm martial artist, with considerable strength, otherwise, he wouldn’t have held the position of steward at the underground trading post.
Boom!
Steward Huang also unleashed his full power.
Liu Han wanted to take his life, and even with his utmost respect for Liu Han, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to wait for death now.
The two forces collided, and the space seemed to erupt with a muffled thunderclap.
Boom.
Liu Han’s body swayed slightly, while Steward Huang was sent crashing into the ground, half of his body embedded in it. One of his arms was bent at an unnatural angle, and his chest had a deep, collapsed cavity.
“Liu Han! You dare to kill me! You have no right to kill me!”
Steward Huang was shocked, terrified, and furious.
However, a killing intent flashed in Liu Han’s eyes, and he moved again, Boom!
A powerful force erupted, shattering Steward Huang’s throat bone…
Steward Huang’s eyes bulged, his eyeballs almost popping out, and he soon lost his breath.
Beside him, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced Boss Yan was so terrified that he collapsed on the ground, a foul odor emanating from his crotch…
He had been so scared that he had soiled himself.
Liu Han frowned slightly, and a martial aura pierced through Boss Yan’s forehead with a hiss…
Steward Huang, dead.
Boss Yan, dead.
Silence fell over the surroundings.
Everyone was deeply shocked by Liu Han’s decisive and ruthless killing.
And by the terrifying identity of Ling Fan.
“Master Ling, Liu Han has failed to properly discipline his subordinates, causing you to be amused! Please, this way.”
Liu Han bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Ling Fan’s gaze swept over Bai Hao, Su Long, Hua Yue, and the others.
Liu Han asked a strong man from the underground trading post nearby, and after asking, he frowned slightly and asked Ling Fan, “Master Ling, how should these people be dealt with?”
Ling Fan said indifferently, “These people sold out their friends to save themselves. They are not good people. Break their legs and throw them out.”
Liu Han nodded and then gestured.
Immediately, strong men apprehended Bai Hao and the other young masters from Hong Ze City. Bai Hao and the others were terrified and desperately begged for mercy, saying, “Master Ling, please be merciful! We know we were wrong! Please let us go.”
Ling Fan paid no attention to their pleas.
Soon, Bai Hao and the others were dragged away.
“As for you…”
Ling Fan looked at Su Long.
This woman’s wickedness, narrow-mindedness, sharp tongue, and snobbery were truly rare in the world.
Seeing Ling Fan looking at her, Su Long’s face changed drastically, turning as pale as a freshly painted wall in her fright.
“Young Master Ling, Master Ling! It was this humble woman who misjudged you before. I know I was wrong now. I apologize to you, and I beg you to give me a chance. If possible, I would like to apologize to you in person alone. You can deal with me however you wish, and I will definitely satisfy you.”
Su Long put on a pitiful demeanor.
She even threw a few seductive glances at Ling Fan.
She relied on her own beauty.
With her looks, she usually navigated smoothly among the young masters of Hong Ze City, playing them to her heart’s content.
She believed that no matter how formidable Ling Fan was, he was still a young man just beginning to understand love.
How could he resist her seduction!
However, Ling Fan didn’t even glance at her coquettish display.
Liu Han also waved his hand in disgust and asked Ling Fan, “Master Ling, should this woman also have her legs broken and be thrown out?”
Su Long was so scared she almost urinated!
Damn it.
Had she become so unattractive?
Or were these two men so unappreciative of feminine charm!
Before Ling Fan could speak.
Hua Yue pleaded for Su Long, saying, “Young Master Ling… Master Ling, please spare Su Long this time.”
Ling Fan glanced at Hua Yue and nodded.
He didn’t care about Su Long’s life or death at all.
He had only intended to punish this snobbish woman before.
Since Hua Yue had spoken up for her, he would spare her this time out of consideration for her.
If there was a next time, he would casually eliminate her.
In Ling Fan’s eyes, her appearance was as ugly and uninteresting as mud on the ground or withered bones in a tomb.
Su Long gasped for breath, looking as if she had narrowly escaped death.
Ling Fan walked up to Hua Yue and looked at the beauty with her head lowered. Ling Fan couldn’t help but laugh, “What, you don’t recognize me? If you hadn’t agreed back then, I wouldn’t even have had a carriage to ride in. So humble.”
Hua Yue chuckled and said, “You are a bit mischievous, pretending to be weak to catch the strong! I really didn’t recognize you. You are a dignified Xuan-tier Armorsmith, a true great figure. How could someone like me, a small woman, possibly associate with you.”
Ling Fan said, “When I was an ordinary person, you still treated me with courtesy. This shows that your nature is kind, which is very rare.”
“Since you treated me with courtesy, how could I, Ling, not reciprocate?”
Ling Fan turned to Liu Han and said, “This person is my friend. I would like to ask you to give her some preferential treatment at the underground trading post. You won’t disagree, will you?”
Liu Han immediately replied, “Master Ling, since you have spoken, what is there that cannot be done!”
