Su Fan was taken aback.
This meant that if the opponent had failed to block, his fire attribute damage would have reached over two hundred thousand!
Damn it!
Su Fan almost swore.
He hadn't paid attention before and didn't realize he was already this strong.
As expected, paying to become stronger worked. He had never dealt this much damage when playing games before.
The captain's face was grim, clearly having suffered significant damage from this strike.
Su Fan didn't give him a chance to retaliate. He spun his long sword, skillfully evading the opponent's blade and thrusting towards his shoulder.
Su Fan's attacks were digitized. As long as he could hit the opponent, their life would be drained to zero, resulting in death, regardless of where he struck.
Having sparred with various opponents so many times, Su Fan executed this move with great finesse. At this range, it was difficult for most people to dodge.
As expected, the captain was too late to dodge and intended to trade blows with Su Fan.
He managed to evade slightly, avoiding a vital spot, while simultaneously slashing at Su Fan's neck.
Su Fan's long sword arrived first, directly piercing the captain's shoulder.

The captain's life instantly dropped to zero. Su Fan's single sword strike dealt nearly a million damage, over seven hundred thousand. The triple attack from Rou Zhiping's upgrade was truly potent.
The captain's blade stopped less than five centimeters from Su Fan's neck. The loss of life prevented him from advancing further, and he collapsed, unable to move.
A blue light flashed, and Su Fan casually grabbed and put it away.
He didn't need to look; Su Fan had no interest in level 40 equipment anymore.
Bai Yu only reacted after the captain died.
The enemy before them was a tough opponent.
"We are an army escorting disaster relief funds under the order of the Minister of Revenue. How dare you intercept the relief funds?"
Seeing this, Bai Yu immediately unfurled a banner, hoping to make Su Fan hesitate.
How could Su Fan be intimidated? He was here for the disaster relief funds. Although these soldiers were somewhat innocent, there was no other way.
To draw out Tan Cai, he had to inconvenience them.
Su Fan didn't speak and charged forward to attack.
Bai Yu leaped from his horse and engaged Su Fan in combat.
Bai Yu's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. Without Su Fan using any skills, they fought evenly. m..oΓg
As Su Fan leveled up more and more, his damage output increased.
Bai Yu became more strained. Each move he blocked from Su Fan made his situation more difficult.
The surrounding soldiers were completely unable to intervene. As soon as they tried to help, they were knocked back by the shockwaves from the two fighters' battle.
Su Fan swung his sword down, and Bai Yu blocked with his own.

He had finally broken through his defense. Even when Bai Yu blocked Su Fan's attack, it still dealt a small amount of damage to him.
Losing over a hundred thousand health points at once, Bai Yu's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, Bai Yu was in a bad state after his defense was breached.
"My apologies."
Su Fan offered an apologetic word to Bai Yu.
However, his hands showed no mercy as he continued to attack, sword after sword, regardless of whether Bai Yu could block.
The damage dealt continued to increase, and Bai Yu's health plummeted at an even faster rate.
Two sword strikes had taken away over three hundred thousand of Bai Yu's health.
At most, three more strikes and Bai Yu would be dead.
But Bai Yu had no choice but to defend. Su Fan's attacks were too frequent, leaving him no opportunity to counter.
As the third sword fell, Bai Yu's sword flew out of his hand.
The immense force generated by Su Fan's attack made it impossible for him to hold onto the hilt any longer.
Finally, Su Fan's blade pierced Bai Yu's body.
Bai Yu died.
The other soldiers looked at Su Fan with fear. Su Fan, alone, had defeated both the captain and Lord Bai Yu.
Lord Bai Yu was the personal guard of the Vice Minister of Revenue. If he was dead, how could they possibly be Su Fan's match?
Su Fan picked up the equipment dropped by Bai Yu and turned to face the soldiers, who were now vigilant and fearful.
Su Fan took a step forward, and the soldiers simultaneously stepped back.
Su Fan took a step, and they retreated a step.
Su Fan chuckled in amusement.
"Go back and tell your superiors that the funds were left by the Great Elder, Red-Haired Old Man. You may leave."
Su Fan did not wish to kill these innocent soldiers, and he needed someone to return with the news.
Otherwise, how would Tan Cai know that the disaster relief funds had been stolen?
The soldiers exchanged glances. Their orders told them not to leave, but their survival instincts told them that if they didn't leave, they would die.
Seeing this, Su Fan revealed his long sword.
"I'll count to three. Anyone still here won't be leaving. Three!"
Su Fan began the countdown expressionlessly.
The soldiers took a step back, hesitant. Looking at their companions, no one was willing to be the first to leave.
"Two."
Su Fan was unconcerned and continued the countdown.
If no one left, he would keep his word and send them on their way.
One soldier swallowed hard, unable to endure it any longer, and turned to run.
Seeing someone take the lead, the others were affected by the herd mentality.
They scattered in all directions. In a moment, the area was empty, leaving only two carriages stopped in the middle of the road.
Su Fan smiled, opened the chests on the carriages, and looked inside. They were filled with silver ingots, neatly stacked.
There were six chests in total, each containing at least ten thousand taels, a total of sixty thousand taels of silver!
Su Fan transferred all the silver into his backpack.
This silver was not added to Su Fan's wealth but occupied inventory slots: Silver Chests * 6.
Afterward, Su Fan returned to Fenglei Town and went to Red-Haired Old Man's residence, waiting for Tan Cai's arrival.
He was confident that Tan Cai would come.
...
In Sky Dragon City, within a certain mansion.
The Li Residence.
The Vice Minister of Revenue rushed in frantically.
"Brother, bad news! The disaster relief funds have been intercepted!"
Upon entering, Minister Li began to complain to his brother.
"Don't rush. Do you know who did it?"
Li Fangyuan, with his round belly, asked his brother with a smile.
"Red-Haired Old Man, one of the Four Eccentrics!"
Minister Li said anxiously.
"Aren't you well acquainted with Red-Haired Old Man? Hurry and make him return the relief funds, or my life will be forfeit!"
Minister Li was somewhat anxious.
The Emperor had not yet received the news. If it reached the Emperor, he would be held responsible, as he had arranged everything. Now that something had gone wrong, the blame would fall on him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that well acquainted with Red-Haired Old Man, so it's difficult. I'll try to ask for you."
Li Fangyuan soothed his brother.
His brother was unaware that he was one of the Four Eccentrics, only knowing that he had connections with them. His brother was also completely unaware of the interception of the relief funds.
After all, only when his brother died could he climb higher, hehe.
Li Fangyuan revealed a sinister smile in secret. This interception of the disaster relief funds was not just for the money. With the Minister of Revenue dead, he, as his deputy, would have the opportunity to ascend. Otherwise, how long would it take for him to reach a higher position?
