"Crack!"
A sudden sound echoed in the quiet room.
A square-faced man crushed the phone in his hand, rage erupting from his eyes.
Song Hailong, a calculating scher, thought that a simple phone call could dissipate his anger and save his life once he reached the Song Family Castle?
Not a chance!
If his brother was truly dead, then everyone in the Song Family Castle would be buried with him!
With this thought, he lifted his head and shouted towards the outside.
"Soone, co!"
The mont he finished speaking, a respectful voice was heard from outside the door.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Gather everyone and assemble in the courtyard with weapons."
"Understood."
In less than a minute, six n were standing in the courtyard, among them was Qin Ye, who had t Chen Fan once before.
The six of them looked ahead with anticipation in their eyes.
Soon, the sound of footsteps approached, and Guan Dehua stepped out.
"Sir, everyone is here. Do you have any orders for us?" The leading man said, with a glint of excitent in his eyes.
Not only him, but the other five also had the sa look, like fanatical followers seeing their idol.
Guan Dehua glanced over the six people present and nodded slightly.
Although he was also an Awakener, strictly speaking, he wasn’t the combat type. However, he was luckier than those non-combat Awakeners; his superpower was Mind Control.
The six n were martial artists he had carefully trained, each one a ridian Refining Martial Artist, and so were even at the Mid Stage of ridian Refining, all proficient in cold weapons and formidable in combat.
Even other C-level Awakeners in Anshan City would be at considerable risk if one of these got close.
But these n were utterly loyal to him, willing to die at his command without hesitation, considering it an honor.
"Good."
He uttered a word, then glanced at a distant villa, his pupils contracting.
He couldn’t believe his brother was dead. However, not even if Song Hailong had ten guts would he dare lie about such a thing.
So, he had to move imdiately, the faster, the better. If he found Dexi dead upon reaching the Song Family Castle, he would undoubtedly kill Song Hailong and his group and then seek out ng Xue to extract the identity of the murderer.
Then, the guy who killed his brother would be found at any cost and made to live in agony!
"Set off for the Song Family Castle."
"Yes!"
The six n responded in unison.
No one asked what they were going to do because they knew their only duty was to obey the orders of their lord unconditionally.
The six figures surrounded Guan Dehua and flew down the mountain path.
anwhile, atop the mountain, in a tightly guarded villa that even blocked electronic signals,
On the second floor, an old lady with white hair watched through a large floor-to-ceiling window, a mocking smile on her lips.
Those guys had no idea what they were walking into.
Soon, her eyes revealed anticipation. Perhaps within a short ti, she might regain her freedom.
The figures of Guan Dehua and his n moved incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye, they had charged out of the city gate, heading into the distance.
At the rear of the group, Qin Ye glanced back before refocusing.
Alright, let that guy live a while longer, soon, he would be back.
In less than a minute, the group had covered nearly half the distance.
Seeing they were almost at the Song Family Castle, Guan Dehua’s heart grew more apprehensive.
He felt a trace of hope, what if Song Hailong had been lying to him? Though unlikely, what if?
What if...
Just then, his whole body tensed up, a sense of extre danger surged within him.
"Whoosh!"
The air on the left side shifted.
A nearly two-ter-long, two-finger-thick arrow shot towards him, a black streak carrying the montum of thunder.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound.
A thick protective shield appeared on the contact surface between the arrow and Guan Dehua’s body, holding the arrow back.
"What is that?"
In the distance, Chen Fan watched in surprise.
He vaguely guessed that the person Qin Ye and the others were protecting in the middle must be Guan Dehua, and aid at him first.
However, the seemingly sure-hit arrow was blocked by a protective shield-like item?
"Sir!"
"Lord Guan!"
The people around noticed this scene, their faces showing shock and panic.
They hadn’t detected where or when the arrow had been shot, only noticing it as it neared.
"Kill the archer!"
Guan Dehua gritted his teeth, grabbed the rapidly spinning arrow at his chest, and hurled it aside with a roar.
"To think he has such ans."
Chen Fan sneered, drawing three more arrows and aiming them at Guan Dehua.
He wanted to see how many arrows the opponent could block.
With a loud crack, the arrows traversed the thousand-ter distance in an instant.
"Sir!"
The two n in front saw Chen Fan’s movent, but before they could finish speaking, the arrows were upon them.
"What!"
Guan Dehua’s eyelids twitched furiously, a strong sense of impending crisis rising within him.
He hesitated no longer, silently mouthing two words, and the next mont, he vanished from the spot.
"Whoosh!"
The arrows pierced the air, shooting into the distance.
"Gone?"
Chen Fan frowned.
Uncle Zhang had said Awakeners might have teleportation items, aning.
"Lord Guan?"
Soone exclaid.
"Don’t panic, the lord has only temporarily retreated to a safe place. Now it’s our turn to act and kill that guy," the leading man said.
"Brother Rui is right, that guy deserves to die!"
The six n focused on Chen Fan in the distance, their eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.
Thanks to Lord Guan’s trump card, otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"That guy must be nearby, hasn’t gone far."
Chen Fan thought.
Judging by the speed of the opponent’s earlier reaction, it wasn’t much stronger than those ridian Refining Martial Artists, but he had so extraordinary items.
He had to find him quickly, otherwise, today’s plan would fail; as for those ridian Refining Martial Artists, they could be ignored for now.
He moved towards the north first because that direction led to Anshan City; typically, when retreating from danger, this would be the choice.
"Kill him!"
The six ridian Refining Martial Artists saw Chen Fan daring to co towards them, anger surged, and they crazily exerted their True Qi, giving chase.
But to their surprise, Chen Fan’s speed was astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had vanished.
In the north, five kiloters away, Guan Dehua stood alone on a plain, still in shock.
He had almost been shot by the arrow.
After catching his breath, he reached out, holding a white pendant at his chest, a pained expression on his face.
This pendant, already half broken and dim, wasn’t an ordinary one but a Protective Talisman made by a guardian-elent Awakener. When the wearer was attacked, it would produce a shield to ward off attacks.
This pendant could originally withstand five elite-level fierce beast attacks, bought at a high price from the Association, unused until now.
But that one arrow damaged it by more than half!
If another arrow had hit?
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
Luckily, he still had a teleportation pendant, or else he would have been done for.
"Who is that guy, appearing as if waiting for ? Could it be?"
As Guan Dehua pondered, he suddenly looked up, seeing a figure rushing towards him.
"What!"
Fear flashed in his eyes.
Impossible! He had teleported five kiloters, yet this guy found him in under three seconds?
"Go!"
The next mont, he mouthed ’teleport’ again.
Appearing five kiloters away, he then gritted his teeth and teleported once more.
His second pendant crumbled into powder, dispersing in the wind.
"Trying to run?"
Chen Fan was furious too. Teleport five kiloters, huh?
The next mont, he consud a large amount of True Qi and Spiritual Power, tripling his agility.
From 5000 agility points to 15000, he burst forward at nearly 9000 ters per second.
In almost an instant, he caught up.
"What!"
Guan Dehua glanced back, his shock beyond words.
He had teleported ten kiloters!
Why had this guy found him faster than before?
The next mont,
Chen Fan appeared beside him, readying to slash his neck.
He was tired of this cat-and-mouse ga.
Fear flashed in Guan Dehua’s eyes, but then his face showed a weird smile.
He knew he was about to be struck, but his jade pendant could still block two elite-level fierce beast attacks.
However powerful this person was, could they be stronger than those mighty elite-level fierce beasts?
So, this strike would surely be blocked, and even if it only delayed for 0.1 seconds, it would be enough for him to pierce the opponent’s weak Spiritual Power and kill him!
This was an opportunity given by the opponent, for he had no more teleportation; if the latter continued using arrows, he would not hold out long.
A mont later, with a clink,
Chen Fan’s strike hit the shield, sparks flying.
However, at the sa ti, an invisible force surged toward his mind.
"?"
Chen Fan felt sothing, frowning as he looked at the opponent.
The other’s smile froze, then with a splutter, he spat blood, his face pale.
"Spiritual backlash, you, you are an Awakener?"
His eyes widened, unable to believe it.
