Indeed, compared to the many mercenaries who had just fallen, Hu Dewu and General Dragon were several times more formidable.

For Zhang Shicun's group, who had already consumed a lot of their physical strength, to fight once more in the same manner as they just had, the chances of winning were almost zero.

However, Xu Fan had no intention of letting them join the battle this time.

Hu Dewu was a martial artist whose cultivation level had stepped into the Innate, and firearms were of little use against him. To resolve him, Xu Fan could only rely on himself.

Looking into the worried eyes of Qin Mengyue and her group, Xu Fan smiled slightly and said, "This time, you guys just watch."

"That guy, I'll deal with him personally."

"This..."

There was confidence in Xu Fan's strength, but there was always a bit of worry in their hearts.

Qin Mengyue took a deep look at Xu Fan, pondered for a moment, and then nodded her head.

"Alright, if you're confident, I'll accompany you."

She chose to trust this man.

At once, leading the group including Old Cat, they began to clear the scene.

Once the scene was roughly restored to its original state, Old Cat and his group hurriedly left Hu Dewu's base.

Tomorrow would be the day when Hu Dewu and General Dragon would arrive.

After resting for a while, it quickly became the next day.

The great battle was imminent; early in the morning, the group awoke.

Following Xu Fan's instructions, they guarded the concealed positions and then quietly waited.

Around eleven in the morning, they heard the sound of engines from outside the base.

Outside the gate of the base, they saw in the distance four off-road vehicles kicking up a rolling cloud of dust, heading this way with lethal intent.

Zhang Shicun was stationed at the entrance, his brows furrowed, not letting his guard down just because there were only four vehicles.

He was very aware that all seated within those four vehicles were experts tasked with closely protecting General Dragon.

Could Xu Fan stand against them alone?

Feeling unsure in his heart, Zhang Shicun couldn't help but wryly shake his head.

Having reached this point, he could only choose to believe in Xu Fan.

"The target has entered the base."

After opening the gate and letting General Dragon's group pass, Zhang Shicun notified the others.

At that moment, everyone's mood became tense.

They had prepared themselves: if Xu Fan failed, they would fight to the end against these foes!

One down, no loss; two down, a profit!

Hu Dewu's group entered the base and sped along, quickly reaching the main command center.

Looking ahead, they could see a young man standing with his hands behind his back at the entrance.

"Who is this guy?"

Seated inside the vehicle, Hu Dewu couldn't help but furrow his brow.

He had felt something suspicious upon entering, and as they proceeded, they saw no one at all.

Now, with this unfamiliar youth appearing here, he immediately confirmed the suspicions in his mind.

There was probably trouble on his turf.

"Stop the car!"

Screech!

At a wave from Hu Dewu, the four off-road vehicles came to a stop in front of Xu Fan.

With a bang, Hu Dewu opened the door and jumped out of the car.

Followed by several armed strongmen providing protection, a man dressed in military uniform also stepped down from the vehicle.

Clearly, he was the regional warlord, General Dragon.

"Hu Dewu, what's going on?"

Not quite understanding the situation, General Dragon inquired with confusion.

With a solemn face, Hu Dewu explained, "General Dragon, there might be some trouble. Don't worry, give me three minutes and I'll resolve it immediately."

"You don't need to resolve it."

At this moment, General Dragon waved his hand and then glanced at his subordinates by his side.

The Dragon General clearly understood the current situation, as several guards now pulled their bolts back, aiming their guns at Xu Fan.

They didn't want to waste words; all they had to do was pull the trigger and be done with this brat.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

"This..."

But before they could fire, Xu Fan's wrist flicked, unleashing several strands of Innate Qi Energy from within his body!

Like lightning tearing through the sky, in the blink of an eye, the guards holding their guns fell to the ground, dead!

"No small talk before acting? Isn't that improper?"

It seemed that the Dragon General, having grown accustomed to being the Emperor, had regarded his life as trifling.

At the moment, Xu Fan, with narrowed eyes, couldn't help but taunt.

"This..."

The Dragon General stood frozen on the spot, unable to utter a word.

He had painstakingly selected these subordinates to ensure his protection, but what about now?

This young man had resolved the situation with a mere raise of his hand?

As the bodies lay growing cold on the ground, the thought of the youth's thunderous methods sent a shiver through his scalp.

"General, you should take refuge in the carriage for now. I'll handle this person."

Even Hu Dewu's complexion wasn't great, and it took a while before he could suppress the shock in his heart.

He then stepped in front of the Dragon General, advising him with a word.

"Mm, Hu Dewu, I leave it to you..."

Feeling quite unnerved, if it weren't for Hu Dewu's presence, the Dragon General would likely have lost all courage. He nodded and hastily crawled into the carriage.

After escorting the Dragon General into the carriage, Hu Dewu's face darkened as he turned to look at Xu Fan.

"So young, yet already possessing Innate strength. Tsk, young man, you've wasted it."

Without needing Xu Fan's explanation, Hu Dewu could guess what had happened at his base before his return.

Probably all of his people were dead at the hands of this youth.

After spending countless efforts to build such a vast base...

Now that it was destroyed by this young man's hands, Hu Dewu silently swore to make him pay in blood!

"Die!"

Clutching the twin daggers he carried, Hu Dewu bellowed in rage, his figure lightning-fast as he charged at Xu Fan!

Striking like a venomous snake ready to attack, Hu Dewu's twin daggers, akin to fangs dripping with poison, lashed out hundreds of times in a flash!

Under the fierce offensive, Xu Fan kept retreating step by step, seemingly without any intention of fighting back.

"You little bastard, where's the strength you had when killing my men?"

"Fight back, will you?"

The more apparent the advantage, the more furiously Hu Dewu roared!

With such meager strength, he dared to lay his hands on Hu Dewu's men?

"Die!"

With murderous intent intensifying in his eyes, Hu Dewu's daggers burst forth with Innate Qi Energy!

He no longer wanted to continue fighting with such a novice!

And with that, he drove his daggers down fiercely!

"What!"

He had thought that the boy, unable to counter in the face of his fierce assault, would undoubtedly be split in two by his dagger. But who would have thought?

Xu Fan suddenly halted his steps, and from within him erupted a wave of invisible Qi Energy!

The blast of energy not only neutralized Hu Dewu's attack but also forced Hu Dewu himself to retreat.

"Why?"

Struggling to resist the surging Qi Force inside him, Hu Dewu's face couldn't help but register shock.

How could the young man, who was clearly outmatched just moments ago, so effortlessly neutralize his assault?

"The reason I didn't counterattack was because I didn't want to kill you. After all, you still hold some value for me,"
