"You! You!"

His vision was long obscured by blood and sweat, yet through the blur, Adal could still see what was crawling up his body at this moment.

"Get it off! Hurry, get it off!"

Not long ago, he was impatient to seize the sacred object that the Heavenly Witch Sect had been chanting about for ages from Xu Fan, but now, he wished he could kneel and beg Xu Fan to remove this accursed thing!

"Didn't you want it so much? Now, I'm giving it to you."

Xu Fan said blankly, looking at Adal shaking in fear.

At this moment, the Jade Silkworm was perched on his body, already beginning to suck the blood from him.

Which is worse, the agony of the Cold Jade Poison or the torment of being turned into a Living Corpse?

Soon enough, this guy would experience it firsthand.

Not wanting this guy to die easily, Xu Fan now sealed his bloodline and let the Jade Silkworm torment him.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to the surrounding Heavenly Witch Sect followers.

To be honest, he truly didn't expect that aside from Azzanmu, the Heavenly Witch Sect would send out so many people.

Although these people weren't very powerful, their sheer numbers were indeed intimidating.

With such a grand presence, Xu Fan couldn't help but wonder what their actual goal was.

Could it be related to the Bronze Box that appeared in Diannan some time ago?

Thinking about it, Xu Fan walked towards the group of Heavenly Witch Sect disciples.

"…"

Just one step forward, and the group acted as if facing a great enemy, retreating quickly.

It was clear they were frightened by his brutal methods earlier.

Amusing, realizing the reason behind it, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

Even such wicked men could be scared off; perhaps he had quite the knack for playing the villain.

"I'm giving you fifteen minutes, in fifteen minutes, I want to see Azzanmu."

With a tone firm as a command, Xu Fan finished speaking, glancing at them lightly, then turned around and went into the house.

He wasn't worried about them daring to run, if they tried to escape, he could always drag them back at any moment.

"This…"

As Xu Fan turned and walked into the house, everyone looked at each other, yet no one dared to step forward.

Even when presented with such a fine opportunity for a sneak attack, no one was tempted.

"Hurry to find Lord Azzanmu…"

Without any discussion, they came to a conclusion.

Fifteen minutes, they only had the final fifteen minutes now!

Within this time limit, they must find Azzanmu, or else when that young man gets angry, their fate wouldn't be any better than Adal's!

…

"Bro…Brother, you…"

Seeing Xu Fan turn back into the house, the soldier lying on the ground couldn't help but look at Xu Fan with a face full of horror.

Honestly, he was truly stunned.

Whether it was Adal or that group of Heavenly Witch Sect followers, to him, they were extremely tough opponents.

Even if the whole Thorn Squad joined forces, at most they'd be at a draw with the same number of Heavenly Witch Sect followers.

But the opponents, who were incredibly difficult in his eyes, seemed as fragile as clay chickens and porcelain dogs to the young man.

Just a single sword would be enough to annihilate them!

Even the strongest special forces team in Huaxia might not be better than this young man?

The soldier lay on the ground, speculating about Xu Fan's cultivation level based on his understanding.

"Alright, let me first treat your companions, and you contact Zhang Shicun to have them send people over."

Not bothering to ponder what the soldier was thinking as he stared, Xu Fan fished out his phone and tossed it over to him.

Immediately, he walked over to the soldiers he hadn't had time to rescue yet.

Knowing very well that after this battle, the Thorn Squad was virtually wiped out, but no matter what, he had to try to save the survivors.

"Well, at least pass on your call sign."

Muttering to himself, Xu Fan began the rescue.

Without any medical tools on hand, all Xu Fan could do was pull them back from the Ghost Gate Pass.

For complete recovery, they'll have to wait until they get back for good rest.

Soon enough, the three soldiers still breathing were rescued by Xu Fan.

Though unconscious, in the short term, they shouldn't be in any life-threatening danger.

At this moment, Xu Fan walked over to the soldier.

"I…I have already contacted the main forces, they…they'll be here as soon as possible."

The purpose of saying this was to give Xu Fan a bit of hope, for him to hold on until the reinforcements arrived, but just after saying it, the soldier smiled bitterly.

Given his strength, if he truly wanted to leave, probably none of them could stop him anyway?

This consoling seemed a bit redundant.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask you."

Xu Fan thought of something and looked at the soldier.

"Please, if I know, I'll surely tell you."

Xu Fan nodded, preparing to speak.

His question wasn't anything complicated.

In this room now, they were all men, he didn't see any women, and he was curious about Zhang Shicun's fiancée and her situation now.

"Zhang Shicun's fiancée is part of your Thorn Squad, right? I want to ask…"

Feeling something ominous, he began to ask but hadn't finished before cold laughter wafted from outside.

"This…"

Suddenly familiar with the laughter, the soldier's complexion immediately turned extremely ugly.

He looked up and found Xu Fan staring at him.

The inexplicable sense of guilt surged in his heart.

He clenched his fist and smacked it hard against the ground.

"I…I...I'm sorry…"

"We…we didn't protect her well…"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's heart sank.

Vaguely, he already guessed the answer, a wave of sorrow washed over him, Xu Fan rubbed his forehead, he didn't know how Zhang Shicun would react to this news.

That fool was still waiting to find this woman and marry her.

"I'm sorry…sorry, we, we…"

The soldier apologized, his voice growing choked with emotion.

The remorseful appearance truly evoked pity, Xu Fan sighed and gently patted his back to comfort him.

"Don't be like this; you've already done your best…"

They were just ordinary special forces; what they could do was very limited.

This matter couldn't be blamed on them.

The laughter outside was likely marking the end of the agreed fifteen minutes.

Presumably, Azzanmu had arrived, right…

Thinking of what he had to face once outside, Xu Fan's mood couldn't help but turn bleak.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up.
