In the village, Wang Yan, Mo Xiong, and others wore expressions of extreme tension. They had only seen a flash of saber light, but no sword shadow. In the distance, it seemed as if someone was engaged in a fierce battle... Xiao Fan!?
At this moment, Lu Fan was like a completely different person. The dark blade in his hand moved with his body, forward and back, left and right... disappearing in an instant, reappearing in an instant... making Death's expression truly resemble that of the Grim Reaper.
His movements were fluid, his countenance amiable. When idle, he was still; when provoked, he acted... filling deficiencies, restoring vitality. Refining the body into qi, extending life for thousands of years... Fragments of the Breath Concealment Art kept surfacing in Lu Fan's mind, as if places he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
Lu Fan's figure became even faster, so fast that it was impossible to catch a trace.
*Swish...* The dark blade suddenly grew three feet longer, its body pitch black, emitting a dark radiance.
*Pfft...! Pfft...! Pfft...!*
In an instant, three strikes severed Death's wrist and ankle tendons.
*Bang...* Death's massive, corpulent body toppled to the ground with a thud! Only one hand, still gripping the curved saber, could move.
*Hoo...* Lu Fan let out a long sigh, a light flickering in his eyes.
"You actually helped me break through. Heh heh! But you still have to die! Because of the thousands of lives on your hands, I will make you completely become Death!" Lu Fan glanced at Death and said calmly.
He hadn't expected that the battle tonight would allow him to improve. He could feel that the abundant true qi in his dantian had condensed into a fist-sized sphere, suspended within his dantian. Its power was several times greater than the true qi that had previously filled his entire dantian.
But this did not deter his resolve to kill Death.
"You... you are not qualified to kill me!" A flicker of shock crossed Death's eyes. He had never seen anyone improve mid-fight. This kid was simply not human. *Swish...* He brought the curved saber in his hand towards his own throat.
*Clang...* The curved saber in Death's hand suddenly flew away. Lu Fan's dark blade sword was pressed against Death's throat.
"I said you would die by my hand, and you will die by my hand. I will avenge those thousands of people!"
*Pfft...* The dark blade sword pierced Death's throat. Strangely, when the dark blade was pulled out, Death did not bleed a single drop of blood.
*Buzz buzz buzz...* The Golden Silkworm Gu worm suddenly flew out from Lu Fan's body and instantly burrowed into Death's body.
"Xiao Fan..."
"Young Master Fan..."
At this moment, Wang Yan, Mo Xiong, and the others rushed over. Wang Yan even threw herself into Lu Fan's arms.
"Xiao Fan! You scared your sister-in-law to death! Are you injured!?" Wang Yan asked anxiously, hugging Lu Fan.
"Sister-in-law! I'm not injured. But if you don't let go of me soon, I'll be squeezed to death by you! Heh heh!" Lu Fan chuckled, knowing that Wang Yan was genuinely worried about him. He gently patted Wang Yan's fragrant shoulder.
"Xiao Fan! Listen to your sister-in-law later, sister-in-law wants to properly, properly celebrate for you." Wang Yan whispered into Lu Fan's ear before reluctantly letting him go.
Beside them, Mo Xiong and the others stared at the fat Death lying on the ground, their eyes filled with horror. Something seemed to be moving inside the corpulent body.
*Pfft...* Suddenly, a small worm broke through Death's chest and flew out. *Buzz...* As it vibrated its wings, the blood on its body instantly fell away, revealing its golden entirety. It buzzed and flew back into Lu Fan's hand.
When it landed in Lu Fan's hand, the Golden Silkworm Gu worm became still, as if what Lu Fan held was not a small worm, but a piece of gold. It was resplendent!
Lu Fan smiled slightly. From Tu Tu's "Gu Talisman Array Records," he learned that the Golden Silkworm Gu worm needed to devour the heart blood of powerful individuals to continuously improve its strength. This Death could be considered the strongest person of this era. After consuming his heart blood, the Golden Silkworm Gu worm had indeed improved significantly.
*Swish...* Lu Fan took out a small packet of powder and sprinkled it on Death's corpse. Moments later, Death's body vanished amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"Mo Xiong! Let's pretend this never happened. We should go back!" Lu Fan said calmly.
Mo Xiong and the others dared not utter a word, their legs still trembling as they walked. Lu Fan's methods were too numerous. If they were to offend this young man... the consequences were unimaginable!
"Mo Xiong! It will be peaceful for a while during this period. Take the brothers and cultivate more. Improve as quickly as possible. To ensure your own safety, you must be stronger than others! Take this money to use. If you lack anything, tell me!" Lu Fan casually tossed out several bundles of cash as if performing a magic trick and said.
"Young Master Fan, rest assured, we will definitely cultivate diligently!" Mo Xiong said hurriedly.
Mo Xiong and the others returned to Wang Yan's house, but Wang Yan, holding Lu Fan's arm, went to Lu Fan's home. Mo Xiong and the others blinked their eyes, no one daring to speak. They all knew where this young woman was going.
"Sister-in-law! This isn't good... you should go back..."
"Shush...! Xiao Fan! You need to guide my cultivation... I know there's a way of cultivation that we can both improve... If you don't help me improve quickly, what if I get bullied by someone one day..."
...
*Ring ring ring...* Early in the morning, a phone call rang. Lu Fan reached out and picked up his mobile phone.
"Brother Xiao Fan! A young monk at the temple has admitted to having an affair with A Ping, and also said that A Ping was greedy and wanted both money and a man. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he hit A Ping, but he used too much force and killed her. He himself was also injured, his mouth bitten by A Ping! So, this case is closed!" Jiang Chao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay! I understand! Brother Jiang! Tell the brothers to keep an eye on that young monk. See who he's been associating with," Lu Fan said.
"Don't worry, brother! The brothers are watching closely. Oh, right, brother, this month's Jùshén Dān..."
"I'll send it to you later, and add another hundred pills!" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Alright! Thank you for your hard work, brother. In that case, I'll also raise the price by a hundred. Hahaha!"
Jiang Chao burst into laughter. Jùshén Dān was a small item with huge profits, and most importantly, it could attract many high-end customers. Once these people came, business would naturally be good, no less effective than medicinal meals. Hahaha! This kid Lu Fan was his benefactor!
Wang Yan got up early and made six dishes: Sweet and Sour Carp, Stir-fried Kidney Flowers, Cola Chicken Wings, Steamed Egg Custard, Fresh Mushroom and Sliced Pork, and Di San Xian.
Lu Changfu and Zhao Rongrong looked at the beaming and busy Wang Yan, completely dumbfounded! Why was this young widow so excited this early in the morning? She rummaged through everything in our refrigerator, and these things don't cost money!
