"You cannot go in; they need you to protect them," Lu Fan said calmly.
Liu Ruyan's eyes turned slightly red. She knew Lu Fan was worried about her.
"Find a safe place and use your guns for cover," Lu Fan said, opening the car door and leaping out. A dark shadow streaked towards Huarong Mansion!
Inside Huarong Mansion, the sounds of fighting were incessant. What shocked the foreigners was that the people in Huarong Mansion seemed to have transformed into some kind of monsters. They fought three against one and seemed to be on steroids, becoming more valiant with every engagement. Despite being exhausted and lacking strength, they would suddenly turn and charge forward as if re-energized.
Some were injured, expecting to finish off their opponents while they were down, only to find it was not the case at all. Minor injuries did not affect their combat effectiveness.
In truth, Hua Laoda and the people of Huarong Mansion were also somewhat disheartened. Although they had the pills left by Lu Fan, they could still hold their ground fighting two or three opponents. However, they were all at a disadvantage, and it was difficult to injure their enemies.
Moreover, this situation was not sustainable. Once the effects of Lu Fan's pills wore off, everyone would likely perish. Although they knew they would die eventually, they clung to a sliver of hope, yearning for a miracle.
Meanwhile, in a certain location, dozens of artillery shells were aimed at Huarong Mansion, ready to obliterate it from the map. However, they were all waiting... waiting for an unavoidable command.
*Whoosh*... Suddenly, a figure instantly rushed into Huarong Mansion. *Swish*... One figure instantly transformed into four. One person, along with three zombie gu, charged towards the foreigners.
*Puff puff puff*... A dark, treasured sword rampaged through the night, as if this was its rightful domain! Slaughter—this was the power of the Dark Blade!
*Clang*... The sword broke, and along with it, a person's body.
*Puff*... The sword pierced through a person's chest. He was fortunate to die without any pain. Of course, he wished to live for another five hundred years, but he had no opportunity.
"Hua Thirty-Five... Hua Thirty-Five is back!"
"It's Hua Thirty-Five! We're saved! Kill... you bastards! Kill these sons of bitches for me! You scared me to death!"
"Hua Thirty-Five! This old woman wants to marry you..."
...
*Hoo hoo hoo*... Twenty-one more people emerged from outside the courtyard wall. They were Liu Ruyan and the rest of the special training squad. Unconvinced of their instructor's safety, they had all rushed in. However, the twenty of them dared not split up, clustering around Liu Ruyan, their hands gripping various firearms.
"Holy crap! The instructor is so powerful!"
"My god! The instructor is invincible! Killing people is like swatting flies!"
"So the instructor is a killing god! Sister Ruyan! I'm so envious of you!"
Everyone was shocked to see Lu Fan kill a person with every sword strike. Zhuge Xian, Hong Xiaojiao, and Qi Jie, in particular, admired Lu Fan immensely, wishing they could personally kill a few people to experience it.
The three of them had all received guidance from Lu Fan and were considered outstanding among the group. Lu Fan had even instilled in them a bloodthirsty mentality. Seeing Lu Fan kill, they were not afraid but rather more in awe.
Inside the mysterious small house, the elder suddenly received the news and let out a long sigh of relief. He slumped onto the sofa. It seemed the order would not be given; Huarong Mansion was saved. All of this was due to one person, something they could never have imagined.
"Kill him! Kill him!" The foreigners, recovering from their shock, quickly had over a dozen people charge towards Lu Fan.
*Whoosh*... Lu Fan flicked his finger, and a golden silkworm gu burrowed directly into a foreigner's skull.
*Whoosh*... Three zombie gu lunged towards three of them.
*Puff puff puff*... Lu Fan pushed his Dark Blade forward, instantly severing the weapons in two men's hands, and their waists!
"What is this thing?" The other foreigners were instantly bewildered. They had never seen such a sharp treasured sword, and its pitch-black color—what was it made of?
Lu Fan gave them no chance. His figure flashed like lightning as he charged forward. The three men entangled by the zombie gu instantly met their demise!
"Retreat... Quick, retreat!" someone suddenly shouted. The other foreigners quickly scattered in all directions.
"We can't let them escape!" Zhuge Xian suddenly yelled.
*Bang bang bang*... The special training squad members raised their guns and fired. Several of those who reacted slightly slower fell from mid-air before they could even leap over the wall.
"You're looking for death..." Suddenly, a foreigner with a ferocious expression charged towards the special training squad. They were just ignorant youngsters; he could kill half of them with one saber strike.
*Clang*...! Suddenly, the foremost beauty leaped forward, her sword blocking his proud saber strike.
"A cultivator at the Transformation Realm? Such a young cultivator at the Transformation Realm!" The foreigner almost dropped his jaw in shock!
*Whoosh whoosh*... Hua Laoda and Hua Twenty-Three rushed forward, instantly surrounding the foreigner. These were the descendants of their six great families; they dared not let them be harmed.
"You want to kill my people? You truly want to die!" *Whoosh*... Lu Fan charged forward. *Bang*... He landed a punch on the man's back. *Puff*... The man spat out a mouthful of blood, almost expelling his heart. He collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"Instructor! You're so mighty!"
Zhuge Xian and Hong Xiaojiao rushed into Lu Fan's arms. At this moment, they paid no heed to the jealous woman standing beside Lu Fan.
"Instructor! We love you..."
Qi Jie and the other members of the special training squad also rushed forward, suddenly lifting Lu Fan and tossing him into the air.
"Hua Thirty-Five! We owe you so much this time!" Hua Laoda's eyes were slightly red. If Hua Thirty-Five hadn't returned, all of them old fellows would have met their end.
As they cleaned up the battlefield, Lu Fan alone had killed nineteen people! The others, who had fled in terror, were shot down by the special training squad. The Shadow organization, with a hundred men, had intended to destroy Huarong Mansion but suffered heavy losses. Although almost everyone in Huarong Mansion was injured, thanks to Lu Fan's miraculous healing pills, there were no fatalities!
Still in the mysterious small house, the elder gazed deeply at Lu Fan.
"I truly didn't expect you to complete the mission so quickly and save all of Huarong Mansion. What... do you want?" the elder suddenly asked.
"The special training squad are the first batch of new disciples for Huarong Mansion. They can become instructors at the Second Huarong Mansion! Specifically training the young reserve forces of Huarong Mansion. Perhaps in a few years, our Huarong Mansion can also break through to a team of a hundred. Then we won't have to worry about organizations like Shadow existing.
"Also, we need to let these old fellows out for some experience! If they don't kill people, their hands will get soft!" Lu Fan said, taking out a small memory card and a piece of paper from his pocket.
The elder was slightly stunned. He picked up the paper and looked at it, his face instantly filled with surprise.
"You actually obtained a partial list of members of the Shadow organization!? Excellent! Truly excellent! It is indeed time to get these old fellows moving!" the elder exclaimed in delight.
