Lu Fan's sword thwarted the plan of the two men to ambush Zhuge Xian. They hastily parried his hidden blade. However, they had underestimated Lu Fan's swordsmanship. The hidden blade instantly split into three sword shadows, thrusting towards the opponent's upper, middle, and lower sections.
This was a sword technique Lu Fan had been contemplating since his encounter with the Fourth Elder of the Zhuge family – the Bu Fan Sword Technique! He had only just figured out one or two moves. This was one of them.
Clang, clang, clang... The opponent was forced back several steps, barely managing to deflect Lu Fan's assault with his long sword. He looked at Lu Fan with astonishment.
Lu Fan also observed him. The man had yellow skin and black eyes. His long sword was also different from those of the others. It was like the swords used by the Chinese, only an inch longer than a normal sword.
"Are you Chinese?" Lu Fan asked, his eye twitching.
"Hmph! None of your business! You... die!" The opponent merely snorted coldly and attacked again with his sword.
"Good! Since you've become someone else's dog, you're definitely going to die today!" Lu Fan's mouth twitched. It seemed he had been overly optimistic. His hidden blade instantly transformed into several sword shadows.
Judging by the ruthlessness of this fellow's ambush on Zhuge Xian, he deserved to die! There was no point in wasting words with him. However, if he wanted to get any other information from him, he couldn't kill him yet.
Whoosh... Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, another figure burst out of the villa. Their speed was no less than the yellow-skinned man's. Moreover, wielding a knight's sword, they lunged at Lu Fan with incredible speed.
"Another ambush! Bastard! Let me try ambushing you!" Lu Fan cursed inwardly and swiftly retaliated. Pfft... pfft... pfft... Three silenced bullets flew out.
"Ah..." The charging figure dodged the first two bullets but was hit in the leg by the third, letting out a cry of pain.
"Kid! You have no martial ethics?" Suddenly, the yellow-skinned man glared at Lu Fan and roared.
"Get lost! Is it ethical for you to ambush me repeatedly? Hmph!" Lu Fan brandished the pistol in his hand and put it back into his storage ring. It had been there for a long time, and if he didn't use it, it would rust.
"Alright! Come on! Let me chop you to pieces with my sword!" Lu Fan said with a cold smile.
"Kill him!" The injured man shouted in broken language.
Whoosh, whoosh... Both men lunged at Lu Fan simultaneously.
Beside them, Zhuge Xian, who was engaged in a fierce battle with two other individuals, was startled. The strength of these two men was comparable to that of the Fourth Elder. Facing a two-on-one situation, Zhuge Xian couldn't help but worry for Lu Fan: "Hua Thirty-Five! Be careful!"
"Hmph! Just the two of them? Let's see who wins first!" Lu Fan sneered. If he hadn't needed to extract information from these two, he could have killed them directly. But to perform a soul search, he had to keep them from dying and yet not alive. He had to fight them until they completely lost their will to resist.
Bang, bang, bang... Lu Fan's hidden blade rained down on the two men, his moves not particularly refined, but his speed and power made it impossible for them to counter. The two men instantly felt overwhelmed.
Good! This is the moment! Lu Fan's lips curled slightly, and he flicked his wrist. Whoosh... Three Zombie Gu suddenly appeared behind the foreigner. Bang, bang, bang... The three Zombie Gu attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of blows on the foreigner.
"What the hell is this?" The foreigner was terrified, his soul nearly flying out of his body! Where did these zombies come from? He became flustered, and as a result, he was knocked to the ground by the three Zombie Gu and beaten mercilessly.
The yellow-skinned man beside him was shocked and wanted to go to his rescue, but Lu Fan's relentless assault left him no room to retaliate. Forget rescuing someone, he couldn't even take care of himself.
Just as this man was bewildered and unsure how to escape, snap... Lu Fan flicked his finger. A small, golden, shimmering object the size of a broad bean was flicked out. Pfft, it burrowed into the yellow-skinned man's body.
"Gu... Gu worm?" The man indeed had some knowledge and immediately realized he had been poisoned by a Gu worm. Swish, swish... He suddenly swung his treasured sword, making two cuts on his body, trying to force out the Golden Cicada Gu.
However, the Golden Cicada Gu was not just under the skin but burrowed directly towards the man's heart.
"Ah..." The man immediately fell to the ground, writhing in pain.
"Good! The opportunity has arrived!" Lu Fan strode over and lifted the man who was curled up on the ground, covering his head, being brutally beaten by the three Zombie Gu. Slap... A hand landed on the man's head. Soul search... This was Lu Fan's objective. To find all the members of the Shadow Organization, this was the only way.
Beside him, Zhuge Xian was startled. Where did this kid get these three zombies? And, it seemed, these zombies were quite powerful.
The two men fighting Zhuge Xian were so terrified that their souls nearly flew out. They turned and tried to flee.
Whoosh... Whoosh... The two long swords on the ground suddenly flew up, instantly piercing through the backs of the two men. They collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"You... A powerhouse like you, working as a bodyguard for these scumbags?" Lu Fan suddenly stood up, glaring at the yellow-skinned man lying on the ground, and said coldly.
"You... You know soul searching! No... Impossible!" The yellow-skinned man's eyes widened like lanterns, filled with shock.
"You actually know the term 'soul searching'?" Lu Fan's heart pounded. This method was rarely known. Could this guy know something else? Lu Fan pressed closer to the yellow-skinned man.
"I... I won't let you go..." Suddenly, the yellow-skinned man slammed a palm towards his own forehead. Bang... He was dead!
"You're dead, so how can you not let me go? Are you going to haunt my dreams?" Lu Fan looked at the man lying on the ground, suddenly filled with regret. He should have searched this guy's soul first; perhaps he could have learned something else. What secret was this man willing to die to protect?
