Several cleavers swung towards Lu Fan. Lu Fan stood there, calmly observing everyone, not moving at all.
*Swish...* A flash of sword light, *clang clang clang...* Several cleavers simultaneously fell to the ground. The men who had just charged forward almost simultaneously clutched their wrists, staring at the young girl in front of them with expressions of horror.
Wang Yajie, terrified, hid behind Lu Fan, her legs weak. She clung to Lu Fan's arm, afraid that if she let go, she would fall to the ground and be unable to get up.
Blood dripped from the wrists of those men, falling drip by drip onto the ground.
"You bunch of idiots, why didn't you attack me?" Old Master Bai Liu hadn't noticed that their tendons had been severed, and he started scolding when he saw them drop their cleavers.
"Sixth Master! She... she severed our hand tendons!" one of them said in shock.
"What?" Only then did Old Master Bai Liu notice that everyone's hands seemed to be injured, but he wasn't scared. Instead, his face turned angry.
"Kid! You dare to injure my men. You're dead!" Old Master Bai Liu pointed at Lu Fan and roared.
*Swish...* A figure, several cold glints. Duanmù Xiù returned to Lu Fan's side.
*Thump...* Old Master Bai Liu collapsed onto the ground, his hand and foot tendons completely severed.
"Old Master Bai Liu..." The men beside him were immediately terrified. With a cry of alarm, they turned and fled. If they dared to cripple even Old Master Bai Liu, they were already fortunate to have only one hand severed. If they didn't run, were they waiting to be chopped?
"You... you're dead!" Old Master Bai Liu couldn't believe that someone dared to injure him. In the entire Jinyuan County, who didn't know I'm from the Bai family? Who dares to provoke my Bai family?
"I'll be waiting!" Lu Fan said calmly, then he really went to a nearby shop, pulled over a chair, and sat by the roadside. He assumed a posture of waiting for them to call for reinforcements.
The people in the small shops nearby were all stunned. Many hid in the distance to watch. No matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to approach. This kid actually dared to lay hands on someone from the Bai family. Who was he? He was too bold!
*Beep beep beep...* A series of car horns sounded, and over a dozen luxury cars sped over. They screeched to a halt by the roadside, their imposing presence scaring many people into dodging.
"Little Liu! Little Liu!" A middle-aged man jumped out of the car and rushed towards Bai Xiao Liu. Seeing Bai Xiao Liu lying on the ground, the middle-aged man roared, "Son of a bitch! Who did this?"
"Fifth Master Bai! I did it!" Suddenly, a faint voice came.
"You... Lu... Lu Fan!" Fifth Master Bai suddenly saw Lu Fan sitting not far away, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. It was Fifth Master Bai from the provincial capital, Bai Bin.
Previously, Bai Xuemei's hotels had all fallen into the hands of Fifth Master Bai, and this Yixiang Pavilion in the county town was no exception. Moreover, after Jiang Chao went to the provincial capital, Bai Bin had further infiltrated the Bai family's influence into this small county town. Then, through various connections, he had become a veritable overlord of the county town, operating in both legitimate and illegitimate spheres.
Bai Xiao Liu was Bai Bin's youngest son. Because he ranked sixth in the family, he was called Xiao Liu. When Lu Fan first came to the Bai family, he was only eleven or twelve years old and was still in school, so Lu Fan had never met him.
And now, this kid had become the crown prince of Jinyuan County. Spoiled since childhood, he had no idea what fear was. Today, he knew fear for the first time, but it was already too late.
"It was me!" Lu Fan still said calmly.
"You... weren't you crippled?" Fifth Master Bai swallowed. Lu Fan from a few years ago had left a shadow in his heart, and he would never dare to provoke him. However... he heard that Lu Fan hadn't appeared for years, and when he did, he had become crippled. As for the young girl standing beside Lu Fan, he completely disregarded her.
"I may be crippled, but I'm not someone any piece of trash can provoke," Lu Fan said calmly, staring at Fifth Master Bai.
"You're calling me trash again?" Fifth Master Bai's mouth twitched hideously. He had wanted to deal with this kid several times in the past, but the kid had developed too quickly and was formidable in martial arts. So, he had always endured. Now, he felt it was time to vent his anger.
"Aren't you? You used all sorts of means to seize your niece's assets, forcing your niece to leave the Bai family twice. What else are you if not trash?" Lu Fan said calmly.
"Hmph! I am trash, so what? You opposed me several times and ruined my plans. Today, you also injured my son. We should settle this score too." Fifth Master Bai suddenly stood up, his face filled with ferocity.
*Whoosh...* Six or seven people surrounded him, each a master! The Bai family now kept dozens of retainers, and none of them were freeloaders.
"Break his limbs and avenge my son!" Bai Bin said fiercely.
*Whoosh...* Six or seven people rushed towards Lu Fan.
*Swish...* A cold glint flashed, and the charging men felt a blur before their eyes. Before they could even see what was happening, they felt their arms lighten, as if they had suddenly lost several pounds. However, upon seeing their severed arms lying on the ground, everyone let out pig-like screams of agony.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
...
"You...!" Fifth Master Bai was stunned. He never expected that a young girl could, with just one sword... and just one sword... cripple several masters.
"I didn't cripple you back then because of Bai Xuemei. Today... I have no reason to let you go." Lu Fan sat there, his words filled with coldness...
"No, Lu Fan! You can't... you can't do this!" With a *thump*, Bai Bin knelt on the ground and pleaded.
*Swish...* A cold light flashed. *Thump...* Bai Bin, like Bai Xiao Liu, collapsed onto the ground, his hand and foot tendons severed.
*Wuwuwu...* Several police cars sped over. Dozens of police officers rushed out of the cars, their guns pointed at Lu Fan and Duanmù Xiù. Lu Fan, however, remained seated, not moving at all. Duanmù Xiù stood beside Lu Fan, her expression icy.
Wang Yajie had already been scared into paralysis and couldn't move.
"Don't... don't arrest him! This... this is our family matter!" Fifth Master Bai hurriedly shouted.
The police were all confused. Was it really a family matter?
"Master Lu! Master Lu! Please spare the Bai family! Please spare the Bai family!" Fifth Master Bai continued to shout as he was carried away.
