The three were startled.
In just one encounter, they had lost one of their own. They were no match for him!
A tacit understanding formed between them: retreat.
They wanted to leave and ran directly towards the window.
"Xiao Bai!"
Su Fan called out to Xiao Bai, and the man and beast immediately gave chase.
Su Fan's control over Meteor Chasing the Moon had become even more proficient, allowing him to use it even in such a confined space.
In the blink of an eye, Su Fan appeared at the window, blocking their escape route.
"Since you've come, you're not leaving!"
Su Fan unleashed another slash, simple and effective.
The person targeted by Su Fan's main attack suddenly felt as if he were in a mountain of blades. Su Fan's strike descended like a massive mountain, pinning him down and rendering him immobile.
*Puff!*
Su Fan's blade descended, and blood splattered from the man's chest.
His heart was cleaved in two by Su Fan's strike. He lost his life without experiencing any pain.
Xiao Bai, following closely behind, caught up and swatted one of the remaining men across the face. The immense force tore off half of the man's face, as bear paws are known to have barbs.
The man cried out in agony.
"Shut up!"
To end his suffering, Su Fan plunged his blade through his chest.
Only one man remained. Seeing the ferocious demeanor of the two, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.
"Brother, please don't kill me, I was forced into this!"
He pleaded with Su Fan, his face contorted in a mournful expression.
"Who sent you?"
Su Fan knelt down, his face devoid of emotion, and asked.
"Hei Wuchang."
Desperate to save his life, he revealed the name without hesitation.
"Who is Hei Wuchang?"
Su Fan asked, confused. He didn't recognize such a name.
There was someone called Hei Wuchang?
The man immediately recounted his experiences since emerging from the inheritance land.
After listening, Su Fan finally understood.
No wonder Xiao Lan had sensed danger back then; it had come from those old men.
"You're saying you were all poisoned? And forced to help them capture me?"
Su Fan learned from the man that they were sent to capture him. The old men desired the inheritance, but for some reason, they couldn't appear themselves, so they sent these men. To ensure their compliance, they taught them a secret technique.
"Yes, without the antidote, we would have died a horrible death within a month. Even if you don't kill me, I won't live much longer."
The man closed his eyes, filled with regret.
If he hadn't coveted the inheritance, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
"Then you should die."
Su Fan ended his life without hesitation.
Regardless of his reasons for coming after him, he was Su Fan's enemy. Enemies were not to be shown mercy. It was a shame that Jiu Di had escaped; he was lucky to have gotten away.
Su Fan looked at the corpses on the ground and sighed, shaking his head.
He gathered the bodies and used the Bagua Token to teleport them to Myanmar, dumping them all in the forest.
The journey was long, and even if the bodies were discovered, it would have nothing to do with him.
However, the bloodstains in his home were troublesome. He couldn't hire anyone to clean them, so Su Fan had to handle it himself.
After toiling for more than half the night, Su Fan finally managed to clean up all the bloodstains.
It was so late that Su Fan didn't feel like entering the game and simply went to bed.
The next day, as the sun rose above the mountains, its rays shone on Su Fan's face, waking him.
He glanced at his phone; it was already eleven o'clock.
Su Fan got up, washed, and went to lie on the lounge chair on the balcony. He turned off his phone. For these rare moments of leisure, Su Fan didn't want to be disturbed.
"Brother Fan!"
Before Su Fan could close his eyes, a voice interrupted his peace.
Su Fan looked displeased towards the neighboring villa. Su Fan's balcony directly faced the Su family's courtyard, where Su Bei was now waving at him.
"What is it?"
Su Fan asked with dissatisfaction.
"Third Uncle is looking for you, hurry over."
Su Bei said to Su Fan with a serious expression.
Upon hearing that Su Dongsheng was looking for him, Su Fan's displeasure vanished.
He obediently went to the Su family residence.
"Xiao Fan."
Su Dongsheng was reading in his study. He put down his book when Su Fan arrived.
"Uncle, Su Bei said you were looking for me?"
Su Fan asked, confused.
"Yes, the trip to the inheritance land has concluded. I know you obtained the inheritance. However, obtaining the inheritance does not mean it's a good thing. Too many people covet ancient inheritances, and you may face many dangers in the future. I wanted to ask if you would consider coming to the Su family. With the Su family's protection, you would be much safer."
Su Dongsheng said to Su Fan solemnly.
Su Fan fell silent for a moment.
He had encountered danger just yesterday, and Su Dongsheng's words were true.
"I believe I should face this crisis myself. Relying on external protection is not a long-term solution."
After much thought, Su Fan decided to handle it on his own.
Crucially, Su Dongsheng's words implied that even the Su family couldn't guarantee his safety 100%, so going to the Su family wouldn't make much difference.
He could be more free outside. He was alone, and with the Bagua Token, no one could stop him if he wanted to leave.
"Alright, I respect your choice."
Su Dongsheng nodded.
He admired Su Fan's independent nature but was also worried about him. Not everyone could survive against those old fellows.
"These are the enemies you will face in the future. Take a look."
Su Fan retrieved a stack of documents from under the desk and handed them to Su Fan.
Su Fan took them and opened them to read.
Hei Wuchang
Age: 61
Gender: Male
Realm: Kaiyang Realm Peak
Deeds: In his youth, he massacred dozens of geniuses from noble families. He broke through the encirclement of numerous ancient martial arts families and disappeared for decades. Ten years later, he reappeared and annihilated all the families that had once surrounded him. Wherever he went, no one survived. Since then, he has been known as "Hei Wuchang" in the martial world. He has since disappeared.
Old Poison
Age: 62
Gender: Male
Realm: Kaiyang Realm Peak
Deeds: Once, during a poison experiment, he poisoned an entire village to death. He was despised by the martial world and labeled as an evil path. He has been pursued for over thirty years with no results.
Sword Slave
Age: 60
Gender: Male
Realm: Kaiyang Realm Peak
Deeds: Originally the personal sword attendant to the young master of the Qingyan Sword Sect. Later, in pursuit of the sword path, he killed his master and was listed as a traitor by the Qingyan Sword Sect.
"This..."
After reading, Su Fan felt that these old fellows were truly ruthless!
One massacred dozens of families, another poisoned an entire village, and the last, the Sword Slave, was relatively mild, only killing his master.
It had to be said, facing such individuals, Su Fan had very little confidence.
Kaiyang Realm Peak?
Su Fan was already in the Yaoguang Realm. As long as he had enough attribute pills, reaching the Kaiyang Realm was merely a matter of money. With enough money, he could even push himself to the Yuheng Realm and still have a chance to fight.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
Seeing that Su Fan had finished reading, Su Dongsheng asked.
"Give me half a month. At most half a month, and I'll have the confidence to kill them all!"
