Wu Wei pulled a three-inch sword from his robe. The small sword floated in the air, and he could control its movement with just two fingers.
Sword control?
Su Fan was a little surprised, completely not expecting the legendary sword control technique to be real.
Wu Wei waved his hand, and the small sword shot towards Su Fan at high speed.
At this moment, the evasion skills Su Fan had honed in the game came into play. He instinctively dodged to the side, managing to evade the attack at such close range. The small sword plunged directly into the wall behind Su Fan.
Wu Wei, with his fingers together and his other hand pulling the small sword back, frowned slightly. The sword trembled in the wall, making it difficult to pull out.
Su Fan knew his chance had come. This was the time for him to counterattack.
Su Fan rushed towards Wu Wei and threw a punch at his face.
Wu Wei was startled. His magic was decent, but in close combat, he was no different from an ordinary person. A hit from Su Fan would be more than he could handle.
Just then, Lin Yao, who had been motionless behind them, moved. She instantly blocked in front of Wu Wei and met Su Fan's punch with her own, landing first.
Su Fan took a step back, feeling the immense force from Lin Yao's hand.
Lin Yao was not unscathed either. She was pushed back three steps by Su Fan, looking at him with shock.
At this moment, Wu Wei's small sword was also pulled out of the wall. He pulled it back, controlling it to attack Su Fan from behind.
Su Fan could feel the danger approaching from behind. He trusted his instincts and quickly dodged to the side, but it was too late. He only managed to avoid a fatal blow, and the small sword deeply pierced his shoulder.
Su Fan let out a muffled groan.
"Hmph! You dare to fight me? I'll make sure you don't even know how you died!" Li Bidi, seeing this, jumped out again, taunting Su Fan.
Su Fan had no intention of arguing with Li Bidi. He grabbed the small sword in his shoulder and yanked it out forcefully, gripping it tightly.
He could tell that Wu Wei, despite his ability to control the small sword to injure others, had the strength of an ordinary person. As long as he held the sword, Wu Wei could no longer control it.
As expected, after Su Fan grasped the sword, Wu Wei's expression changed. His only means of attack was now restricted by Su Fan.
"Thank you for the weapon!" Su Fan said to Wu Wei with a cold smile.
Then he charged forward again.
Lin Yao, being the only martial artist, had no choice but to brace herself and engage.
"Little brother, you must be gentle with me," Lin Yao said to Su Fan coquettishly.
Su Fan's expression was blank. Holding the small sword, he thrust it mercilessly towards Lin Yao's face.
If hit by Su Fan, Lin Yao would be severely disfigured, if not killed.
Lin Yao dodged in shock. She knew Su Fan was strong and dared not block with her hands.
"Little brother, do you want my life?" Lin Yao said, somewhat angry that Su Fan was being so ruthless.
"You tried to take my life first," Su Fan retorted calmly.
Flames erupted from his hands. Su Fan no longer held back, using his fire-controlling abilities.
"An esper!"
Lin Yao and Wu Wei exclaimed in unison.
"May I ask which faction you belong to?" Wu Wei asked.
As extraordinary individuals, they belonged to hidden sects. Although they might serve various factions in the secular world for survival, they had to clarify their origins when encountering peers to avoid harming their own.
"Which faction do you belong to?" Su Fan asked back.
Asking me which faction I belong to? I'm from the Exploding Heaven Gang, do you even know about that?
"I am from the Wizard Alliance, and this is a martial artist from the Assassin Alliance. May I ask where you are from?" Wu Wei directly revealed his and Lin Yao's origins.
"Why are you two chatting! I told you to kill him, didn't you hear me!" Li Bidi shouted angrily at Wu Wei.
"Kid, even your father wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Where do you get the nerve to order me around?" Wu Wei said to Li Bidi with an unfriendly expression.
His cold gaze seemed as if he would devour Li Bidi at any moment.
Li Bidi swallowed subconsciously. He finally remembered that Wu Wei was a distinguished guest of the Vali Group, not his subordinate.
"I apologize. Please, help me kill him," Li Bidi immediately lowered his stance and pleaded with Wu Wei.
Wu Wei snorted coldly.
"Young friend, if the faction behind you is allied with ours, we can let today's matter go. I will not make things difficult for you," Wu Wei said to Su Fan with a condescending air.
Su Fan felt like laughing.
The situation was clearly in Su Fan's favor, yet the other party still maintained such an attitude. They truly had no self-awareness.
"Just let it go? Drugging me, bringing me here, and torturing me, and you want it to just be over?" Su Fan said with a cold laugh.
"What do you want? We've already backed down. Do you really want to fight us to the death?" Wu Wei frowned.
"Kill him, and I can pretend nothing happened," Su Fan looked at Li Bidi.
Wu Wei glanced back at Li Bidi and pondered for a moment.
"Alright, you do it. We won't stop you."
Wu Wei's words made Li Bidi disbelieve.
"No! Wu Wei, what are you doing! My father hired you to protect me, not to kill me!" Li Bidi was somewhat scared. If Wu Wei and Lin Yao didn't stand by him, he would surely not survive against Su Fan.
Wu Wei ignored Li Bidi.
"Make your move," Wu Wei said to Su Fan.
Su Fan shook his head.
"I meant for you to kill him, or else you'll all die," Su Fan stalled for time, noticing that the wound on his shoulder was healing rapidly and he soon felt no significant pain.
Wu Wei frowned. Killing Li Bidi was absolutely impossible. Killing a client was a major taboo in their profession.
"Don't push your luck. I've already made concessions. If we really fight, the two of us together might not be your match."
"Then let's try!" Su Fan, tired of their nonsense, attacked first.
He thrust the small sword towards Wu Wei.
Wu Wei quickly retreated and pulled out a talisman from his robe, throwing it at Su Fan.
"Fire!"
Wu Wei gave a soft command. The talisman in front of Su Fan suddenly exploded, and a ball of flame engulfed Su Fan.
Wu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
These talismans were his prized possessions, and each one took a great deal of effort to make. He wouldn't have used them if he had no other choice, but they seemed to have worked well. A single fire talisman had apparently finished Su Fan.
Li Bidi, in a corner, also breathed a sigh of relief. Su Fan was dead, and it seemed he had escaped.
"Heh! Ungrateful wretch! Daring to oppose me, truly suicidal. Your woman is quite nice. If you can't cherish her, I'll take her for myself," Li Bidi said, looking at the flames engulfing Su Fan, believing Su Fan had no chance of survival. Thinking of Su Yutong, who had been with Su Fan earlier, he felt he should take revenge for the humiliation he suffered from Su Fan on Su Yutong.
"If I don't strip you bare today, you can call me tight!"
A cold voice echoed from within the flames.
