After helping everyone select their weapons, Zhang Shicun also picked a few spare pistols and some grenades and protective gear.

"Okay, that should do it. Make sure we have plenty of ammunition!"

Zhang Shicun then had a brief exchange with Lao Mao before looking over at Xu Fan.

"Brother, don't you need a weapon?"

Upon hearing Zhang Shicun's question, Lao Mao couldn't help but laugh.

Had it been before his collaboration with Xu Fan, he might have asked the same question.

But knowing full well what this guy was capable of, he was aware that the question was utterly redundant.

Xu Fan just smiled and explained, "Don't worry about me, I'm not fond of guns."

If he really needed a weapon, he could simply "borrow" one from the enemy.

Straight after, Lao Mao took them to the gun room to test the firearms they had chosen, and once they had confirmed their choices, they were ready to leave.

"Lao Mao, put this on my tab for now. That's alright, isn't it?"

By then, Lao Mao's men had loaded the purchased items onto the vehicle provided for Xu Fan, who spoke up.

If it were anyone else asking for credit, they would likely be dead by now.

But Xu Fan was the exception. Lao Mao gave a smile and said, "Brother Xu Fan, I trust doing business with you. This debt can wait."

"Later on, I'll send someone to put you in touch with Hu Dewu. When the time comes, you can just drive there."

"Okay, it's getting late, so we'll be off now."

Xu Fan nodded, gave Zhang Shicun a look, and the two hopped into their respective vehicles and drove back to Hu Dewen's estate.

Lao Mao was quite efficient; Xu Fan had barely arrived back when he received a call that everything was sorted.

Furthermore, he thoughtfully sent over the layout and personnel configuration of Hu Dewu's base to Xu Fan.

With nearly a thousand highly armed mercenaries, plus Hu Dewu's Cultivation Level, the base was indeed very tough to take down.

After Xu Fan and Zhang Shicun's group had formulated their battle plan, they began to rest and prepare for the next day's action.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the five of them got up and drove towards Hu Dewu's base.

In the car, Qin Mengyue was wiping and adjusting her sniper rifle's scope.

Xu Fan held the steering wheel, now arguably the most relaxed of them all. Feeling bored, his gaze began to wander uncontrollably.

Hmm, it traveled from Mengyue's slender calves up her fair thighs, then darted further up, settling obediently on a certain hillock.

Driving in the wilderness, with no fear of traffic accidents, Xu Fan carelessly let his gaze linger there a bit longer.

With a whoosh, the sniper rifle in Qin Mengyue's arms suddenly swung around, its barrel pointing straight at Xu Fan's forehead, while her delicate finger was already poised on the trigger.

"..."

Xu Fan rolled his eyes and complained, "I was just looking, is there really a need to point a gun at me..."

Qin Mengyue snorted and chuckled, "Look all you want, but please, keep your hands on the gear shift!"

"Cough cough... alright..."

Xu Fan's hand reluctantly moved away from her fair thigh and he drove with all due diligence.

Little did he know that at that moment, a smile flickered across the lips of Qin Mengyue, still busying herself with her rifle.

The car sped along, and soon they arrived at the place Lao Mao had specified for them to meet Hu Dewu's men.

After hiding their firearms for the time being, the five of them parked the car in its place.

Xu Fan took out his phone, contacted Lao Mao, and said, "They'll be here soon."

Soon, an off-road vehicle drove over from the mountains in the distance and came to a stop opposite them, from which several men of Vietnamese descent got out.

From the guns they held, it was clear they still didn't trust Xu Fan and his group.

"Is this Mr. Bai Fei?" Once Xu Fan and his four companions got out of the car, the leader from the opposite side asked Xu Fan.

The other side also consisted of five people, and the muzzles of their firearms were aimed straight at Xu Fan's group, apparently ready to shoot if they noticed anything amiss.

"Yes, I am Bai Fei."

Bai Fei was the false identity prepared by Lao Mao for him. Xu Fan stepped forward, nodded, and then explained his purpose.

The leader nodded and said, "Mr. Bai Fei, sorry, but for safety reasons, we need to search you."

At this point, they didn't really have the option to agree or not; if they refused, they'd probably be met with a hail of bullets.

Fortunately, Qin Mengyue had the foresight to dress lightly for the occasion, and as such was exempted from being searched.

They quickly finished the search without finding any weapons.

At this moment, the leader's gaze shifted to Xu Fan's two vehicles.

"Go, search the cars for weapons!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shicun and the others looked over at Xu Fan; the munitions they had gotten before were lying undisturbed in the trunk of the car, and a simple search would reveal them.

If that happened, they'd be in big trouble.

As two men opened the car doors ready to search, the remaining three were pointing their guns at Xu Fan and his group, to avoid any surprises.

Xu Fan gave a slight smile, took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, pulled out a lighter, lit it, and took several heavy puffs. The sparks from the cigarette tip flared up.

"Move now!"

Just then, a shout from Xu Fan! With a flick of his hand, the burning cigarette end turned into a shooting star and hit one of the mercenaries directly in the eye.

Before he could even cry out in pain, the lighter in Xu Fan's hand, like a shooting star, passed close and hit the head of another person next to him!

At that moment, Xu Fan's figure flashed like a specter, instantly closing the distance to the leader, and with phantom-like movements, he swiftly disarmed the man!

Thump!

Two bodies hit the ground behind Xu Fan. It seemed that Zhang Shicun and the others had taken care of the other two men.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes, looked at the frightened man in front of him, and said with a smile, "You know what to do now, don't you, friend?"

"Please, don't kill me..." The leader knew that if he made any rash moves, he wouldn't live to see the next day.

"Zhang Shicun, change clothes, take his car!"

Xu Fan ordered. Zhang Shicun nodded, stripped the clothes from the corpses, changed into them, and then buried the bodies on the spot.

Zhang Shicun, pistol at the small of the leader's back, chuckled, "Let's go, friend."

After Xu Fan had changed clothes, he followed and got into the leader's vehicle.

The group set off once more.

On the drive, without too much trouble, Zhang Shicun extracted quite a bit of information from the identity of the leader. With his guidance, they soon saw Hu Dewu's base.

They stopped the car in front of the main checkpoint at Hu Dewu's stronghold.

The leader stopped the vehicle and shouted to the guarding mercenaries, "Let us through! We have guests!"
