"Scoundrel! You dare show your face again, you're asking for death!"
Seeing Su Fan, Xu Dalei's rage flared. The scar on his face was Su Fan's doing.
"Take your life!"
Xu Dalei instantly erupted and charged at Su Fan.
"Lingering Charm!"
Su Fan immediately used a control skill.
Xu Dalei froze in place.
A last-minute effort!
Shadow Dance Slash!
Su Fan drew his weapon, and countless blades enveloped him. Xu Dalei's health plummeted.
The Shadow Dance Slash ended, but Xu Dalei wasn't dead yet. Xu Dalei had grown a lot during this time and was now a Level 40 Boss.
However, Su Fan's next move was his strongest.
Thunderous Might!
As soon as Xu Dalei snapped out of his daze, he saw a sword energy flashing with lightning and chilling cold before his eyes.
The sword energy cleaved Xu Dalei in two.
Xu Dalei saw the world in his eyes split down the middle.
*Thump!*
Su Fan looked at Xu Dalei, who had fallen to the ground, with no expression.
A blue light flashed, and Su Fan's face lit up with joy.
Su Fan reached out and grabbed the item.
Seven Star Purple Gold Crown (Blue)
Level: 40
(Unidentified)
Su Fan was even happier. It was an unidentified piece of equipment.
"Is he dead?"
Xia Yun couldn't see, but her hearing was excellent. She could discern the environment based on the sounds around her.
"Yes."
Su Fan nodded slightly, then realizing Xia Yun couldn't see, he responded verbally.
"Can you take me away now?"
Xia Yun asked Su Fan tentatively.
"Yes."
Su Fan nodded and with one sword strike, severed the chains binding Xia Yun's feet.
Su Fan might not have saved others, but he had to save Xia Yuan's daughter.
Establishing a connection with Xia Yuan would bring him too many benefits. Just the matter of borrowing troops would be a non-issue with Xia Yuan's connections.
Xia Yun fumbled her way up from the bed and moved forward cautiously, nearly tripping over Xu Dalei's corpse on the ground.
Su Fan quickly grabbed Xia Yun's arm to steady her.
Su Fan had forgotten Xia Yun was blind.
"Follow me."
Su Fan told Xia Yun.
Su Fan had originally planned to teleport back to the bandit suppression camp after completing his task. Now with Xia Yun as a burden, he had to ride back. He still needed to figure out how to get out of Thunder Tiger Stronghold.
"Change your clothes."
Su Fan looked at Xia Yun's wedding attire and said.
This outfit would likely get her stopped the moment they stepped outside; it was too conspicuous.
Su Fan found a set of burlap clothes in his backpack and handed them to Xia Yun.
Then Su Fan left the room, letting Xia Yun change inside by herself.
Xia Yun soon finished changing.
Although Xia Yun couldn't see, she was perfectly capable of handling normal personal matters. In familiar surroundings, she didn't even need assistance.
Su Fan's backpack only contained men's clothing, so Xia Yun was also in men's attire. This was actually good; with her hair tied up in men's clothes, she would attract even less attention.
"Follow me and speak less."
Su Fan instructed Xia Yun, then led her forward.
They arrived at the main hall, where people were still drinking. The banquet wasn't over yet.
They were all martial artists; what else did they do but drink and eat meat? If they had the chance, they wouldn't stop until they were thoroughly drunk.
Su Fan walked towards the main entrance as if nothing had happened. No one around noticed him.
"Old Ba!"
A loud shout immediately drew everyone's attention.
"What's up, Da Niu? Found your dad here? Why are you calling him 'Daddy,' hahaha!"
The surrounding people burst into laughter upon hearing Da Niu's shout.
Da Niu was a bit dizzy; he had drunk too much.
"Go away, stop messing around. Brother Old Ba, I was just looking for you to have a drink. Where did you go?"
Da Niu sobered up to find Su Fan missing and, after searching for a while, spotted him.
Su Fan felt a bit nervous.
There were several Level 40 elites here. He wasn't afraid, but he had Xia Yun, who was defenseless, by his side.
"Just went to the restroom. What do you want?"
Su Fan smiled and turned back to Da Niu.
"To drink! What else? Who is this young brother?"
Da Niu immediately tried to drag Su Fan to drink. Seeing the timid Xia Yun, he looked at Su Fan with confusion.
"This is my little brother from Qimao Mountain. I brought him to see the world today."
Su Fan made up an excuse.
"So it's a little brother. Come, come, let's drink together!"
Da Niu, without any further ado, pulled Su Fan back to the previous table and sat down.
He didn't notice that Xia Yun was blind.
Da Niu enthusiastically poured wine for both of them.
Su Fan was speechless.
What was with Da Niu's drinking habit? He was already drunk, and now he wanted to drink more after sobering up. Did he have a feud with alcohol in his past life?
Su Fan had no choice but to drink with Da Niu, hoping Xu Dalei's corpse wouldn't be discovered too soon.
Su Fan saw Da Niu tilt his head back, about to pour the wine, but Da Niu put down his bowl.
Su Fan, holding his bowl, was slightly stunned.
Did a stick poke your throat? Was that only a second before you finished drinking?
Su Fan could only brace himself and drink the bowl of wine.
"Refreshing! Another one!"
Da Niu quickly poured another bowl of wine for Su Fan.
"Don't drink anymore, I'm getting drunk."
Su Fan didn't want to drink with Da Niu anymore, mainly because he couldn't afford to get drunk.
"How can that be! We won't go home until we're drunk today! Are you looking down on me?"
Da Niu insisted Su Fan stay, and if he refused to drink, he would escalate the situation.
Su Fan had encountered people like this before. If you argued with them, they could pester you until midnight.
"I'll drink for big brother."
Xia Yun suddenly said in a rough voice and took the wine bowl from in front of Su Fan.
"Little brother, you're so forthright!"
Da Niu didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing Xia Yun's boldness, he praised her.
Xia Yun tilted her head back and downed the wine in the bowl.
"Don't push yourself, we still need to escape."
Su Fan whispered in Xia Yun's ear.
Xia Yun felt the warm breath from Su Fan's mouth on her ear and blushed slightly.
"Now he's keeping you here, and we can't leave. Don't worry, I'll handle this soon. Just keep pouring me wine."
Xia Yun said confidently to Su Fan.
Su Fan frowned, looking at Xia Yun with a questioning expression.
"Big brother, I'll pour you another bowl."
Xia Yun picked up the wine bowl and said to Da Niu.
"Good! Little brother, you have great stamina. Here!"
Da Niu was also a drunkard and accepted any offer. As long as Xia Yun offered wine, he would accept.
One bowl after another, a large jar of wine was quickly emptied.
"Little bro... brother, you have... great stamina! I..."
*Thump!*
Before Da Niu could finish speaking, his head hit the ground. He was completely drunk.
Su Fan looked at Xia Yun with some surprise.
That large jar of wine held at least thirty jin. If they each drank half, that was nearly fifteen jin. Da Niu had passed out, but Xia Yun seemed completely unaffected. How did she manage it?
"They call me 'Never Drunk,' hehe."
Xia Yun said with a slight smile.
