However, before the group could fully approach, several screams were heard.
"Ahhhhhh!"
After the screams, the assassins lurking in the dark fell in swathes.
"Scatter!"
Gu Lang hadn't expected the other party to be so alert and launch a preemptive strike.
At this moment, he found Yun Fan, who was in the midst of a fierce fight, and charged at him.
"Boom!"
After one move, Gu Lang coldly said, "Who gave you the courage to treat my subordinates like meat and chop them."
"What is this?"
Yun Fan scoffed, "Back then, when invaders attacked our village, I, armed with a watermelon knife, charged from one end of the village to the other without even blinking an eye!"
"I admit you have some strength, but unfortunately, meeting me, you are very unlucky!"
In an instant, Gu Lang struck swiftly. As a Grandmaster, he had the confidence to instantly kill Yun Fan.
"Just you?"
Yun Fan moved. Before Gu Lang could get close, he dodged and then, with lightning speed, struck Gu Lang with a punch.
"Bang!"
Gu Lang flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Puff!"
He looked at Yun Fan with trembling eyes. To be defeated by one move as a Grandmaster was simply unreasonable.
He was, after all, the seventy-third strongest on the Human Ranking. Dealing with a young brat should have been a piece of cake.
"Your master is truly foolish to send a nobody to kill me. There's no sense of accomplishment!"
Yun Fan said speechlessly, feeling as if every enemy he encountered thought they were destined to kill him.
Gu Lang was furious. He, the dignified Desert Lone Wolf, was being humiliated by a mere youngster, and what's worse, he couldn't even win.
"Attack!"
With his command, all the assassins charged at Yun Fan.
Yes, he wanted to use their numbers to distract Yun Fan while he delivered a fatal blow.
Indeed, he found his opportunity. As everyone was tying Yun Fan down, his hidden wolf claws lunged towards Yun Fan's head.
He intended to blast Yun Fan's head open.
But alas, his scheme had long been seen through by Yun Fan. How laughable. At his level, even a swarm of ants could not alter the situation.
"Swish!"
In that instant, Yun Fan kicked the wolf claws away, which then struck Gu Lang on the head.
"Ah!"
Gu Lang let out a scream, blood pouring from his head, before falling to the ground in defeat.
Yun Fan didn't even look at him. He had wanted to capture someone alive to question who had sent them, but these people, in perfect coordination, bit their poison sacs and committed suicide.
"Even the Heavenly Gate doesn't have such methods!"
Yun Fan looked puzzled. He wondered which other organization in Jiangnan possessed such a team.
His first thought was the expert who had slain the White Tiger, but he quickly dismissed it. If that person had such a strong team, it would be much easier to confront him directly.
Clearly, these people were not sent by that individual.
At this moment, Yang Xuejian emerged from the bushes. She had witnessed the entire fight and was shocked by Yun Fan's strength.
Defeating a Grandmaster in one move, she felt that even her master might only possess such power!
Now she realized that her junior disciple was not only charming but also terrifyingly strong.
"Ptooey!"
Yang Xuejian spat. She would never admit that her love rival had any charm!
"Sixth Senior Sister, these ants have been dealt with by me!"
Yun Fan walked towards Yang Xuejian.
Suddenly, Yang Xuejian's expression changed. "Careful!"
"Swish!"
No matter how fast Yun Fan was, the silver needle pierced him.
Yun Fan turned around in anger and saw Gu Lang, before he died, using a blowpipe to sneakily attack Yun Fan.
Yun Fan pulled out the silver needle and flicked it at Gu Lang's forehead. Gu Lang was more dead than dead.
"Are you alright?"
Yang Xuejian asked worriedly.
Yun Fan calmly replied, "I'm fine. Junior disciple here is immune to all poisons. What's there to fear!"
"We can't stay here. Come, Sixth Senior Sister, let's continue our journey!"
Yun Fan prepared to carry Yang Xuejian on his back.
"No, you can't agree to him!"
Yang Xuejian refused in her heart, but her hands had already instinctively wrapped around Yun Fan's shoulders.
It had to be said that some people said no but their bodies were quite honest.
After walking for nearly three hours, the two finally saw signs of civilization.
Yun Fan was speechless. He thought, these assassins came to assassinate them and didn't even drive a car? That's really unreasonable.
In fact, they had driven, but had hidden their car, which he hadn't found.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Sixth Senior Sister, if there's a hotel, we'll stay for a night! We'll call for them to pick us up at dawn!"
"You decide!"
Yang Xuejian's tone remained lukewarm. Yun Fan was surprised that his senior sister was always so hot and cold. Perhaps this was the legendary ice and fire duality!
Upon arriving at the hotel, Yang Xuejian was about to suggest booking two rooms.
But Yun Fan insisted on one.
"This scoundrel, could he be coveting me too? I'm his Senior Sister!" Yang Xuejian thought angrily.
However, upon entering the room, Yun Fan said, "Sixth Senior Sister, there's something wrong with this hotel!"
"What's wrong?"
Yang Xuejian asked curiously.
Yun Fan replied, "Firstly, the hotel is run by a few fierce-looking, rough old men. Secondly, look at the windows, they have anti-theft bars. It's obvious they don't intend to let guests escape!" Sudan Novel Network
"Then why are you staying?"
Yang Xuejian looked confused.
Yun Fan said playfully, "If this is truly a black-hearted inn, it must have harmed many people. As the next sect leader of Ghost Valley, I have a responsibility to eliminate evil and help the good!"
In fact, Yun Fan didn't want to stay in the wilderness anymore. Even if this was a black-hearted inn, so what? It would be a case of the dark preying on the darker, although he himself wasn't dark at all.
"Alright!"
Yang Xuejian thought Yun Fan might be overthinking.
"Sixth Senior Sister, you rest first!"
Just as Yun Fan was about to gently place Yang Xuejian on the bed, his body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed onto Yang Xuejian's uninjured leg.
"How dare you act indecently towards me!"
Yang Xuejian was angry. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so desperate. Just as he put her down, he was about to do something improper.
Facing Yang Xuejian's scolding, Yun Fan said awkwardly, "Sixth Senior Sister, there's something wrong with that silver needle. I can't move my whole body right now!"
"Didn't you say you're immune to all poisons?"
Yang Xuejian looked at him with disdain.
"That wasn't poison, it was anesthesia!"
Yun Fan had no idea what Gu Lang was up to. Instead of coating the needle with poison, he had used anesthesia.
Could anesthesia kill him? Obviously, Gu Lang was an unqualified assassin, but he had caused Yun Fan a lot of trouble.
Because of his powerful physique, the anesthesia had no immediate effect, slowly integrating into his bloodstream, which then incapacitated him.
Clearly, this was also unreasonable.
"Ah! What do we do now?"
She couldn't move much, and Yun Fan was paralyzed by the anesthetic. If this place was truly a black-hearted inn, they would easily be taken down.
Yun Fan said, "Lock the door from the inside and give me some time!"
"Okay!"
Yang Xuejian locked the door, but she knew that if those rough men really stormed in, this door wouldn't hold them back.
Just then, a mist blew in from under the door.
Both of them quickly held their breath.
"Boss, I think I grabbed the wrong medicine. This isn't sleeping gas!"
"Whatever, it's just a man and a woman. With the four of us, it'll be a piece of cake."
"Yeah, should we storm in now?"
"No rush. Third brother, you carry the kid's body to the kitchen later. As for the woman, let the brothers have some fun with her!"
"Just don't kill her. She's as beautiful as a celestial being. I want to play with her for a few more days!"
"Got it, you useless fellow!"
Inside the room.
"What do we do now?"
Yang Xuejian's eyes showed a hint of panic.
Yun Fan said, "Don't be afraid. I have a set of silver needles. Use the incantation I teach you to circulate your inner energy and attack them!"
"Okay!"
Yang Xuejian picked up four silver needles, memorized Yun Fan's incantation, and went to the door to ambush.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open. As the four men were about to rush in, Yang Xuejian struck first, her silver needles flying out with fluid grace.
The result was a miss.
This bizarre maneuver left Yun Fan stunned. Four living people were standing at the door, yet Yang Xuejian had missed them all.
Even someone with ten years of cerebral thrombosis wouldn't perform such an operation.
"Oh! Still trying to attack?"
The four men sneered. One of them held a cleaver and swaggered in.
"Not good!"
As Yang Xuejian's expression tensed, she threw another set of flying needles, perfectly hitting their targets.
The four men fell to the ground before they could even scream.
Yang Xuejian closed the door with a sigh of annoyance.
"You can move now?"
Facing Yang Xuejian's question, Yun Fan explained, "Fortunately, I can still move my five fingers. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous!"
"Then what now?"
"Find a charger, and then call Fifth Senior Sister!"
"Oh!"
Yang Xuejian, with her long legs, started to move out of the room with difficulty. But at this moment, she suddenly felt an unsettling agitation within her.
Then, she looked at Yun Fan with a gaze as gentle as flowing water.
"Sixth Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
Yang Xuejian smiled enchantingly, "Junior disciple, Senior Sister is lonely and cold. Don't you want to comfort me?"
"No, it's that smoke from earlier!"
Yang Xuejian's drastic change made Yun Fan instantly understand. The reason he was unaffected was that he had held his breath for a long time.
"Sixth Senior Sister, please compose yourself!"
Yun Fan quickly warned her. However, Yang Xuejian ignored him and directly tore her stockings.
"Junior disciple, I just realized you're truly charming!"
Yang Xuejian had lost all reason, licking her lips. "Rather than letting that cheap woman Leng Ningshuang have you, it's better I have you!"
"Senior Sister, please be respectful!"
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to resist. But Yun Fan was an exception. He didn't want to fail just before breaking through to the next level.
However, Yang Xuejian paid him no mind and pounced on him like a wolf.
"Help!"
Yun Fan felt like crying. Was he really going to be taken advantage of by his Sixth Senior Sister?
Facing Yang Xuejian's wild tearing, Yun Fan saw that not a single piece of his clothes was intact. Moreover, he was completely paralyzed and could offer no resistance.
"Come on! Little puppy, let me see how obedient you are!"
As the drug's effect reached its peak, Yang Xuejian could no longer restrain herself.
The next moment, Yun Fan forcefully pointed a finger at Yang Xuejian's neck.
Instantly, Yang Xuejian, still in her frenzy, collapsed onto the bed.
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the unexpected incident was averted, or it would have been truly over.
...
"Still no contact?"
At the Black Dragon Society, Zhao Fanghua asked with worry. Yun Fan's phone was switched off, and Yang Xuejian's number was unreachable.
At this moment, Hei Long said hesitantly, "Not yet!"
"Then what do we do?"
Seeing Zhao Fanghua's extreme worry, Ye Feng, who was standing nearby, said, "I have a special number locator!"
"As long as I input Brother Yun's number, I can locate where he is!"
"Then why are you dawdling? Hurry up and locate him for me!"
Under Zhao Fanghua's urging, Ye Feng quickly took out the locator, entered Yun Fan's number, and then exclaimed excitedly, "Located!"
"Let's go, let's go pick them up!"
