With a loud bang! Xu Fan's body slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Hoo..."

Letting out a puff of turbid air, Xu Fan lay on the ground and looked over at his opponent.

This strike had exhausted all his strength, and he truly couldn't stand up now.

"You're a damn lunatic..."

Even so, his effort had not been in vain. Even though the guy's cultivation level was much higher than his own, he had still made him look utterly disheveled.

Seeing the guy cursing and swearing, Xu Fan couldn't help but burst into laughter while lying on the ground.

"You just realized I'm a lunatic?"

Xu Fan, not fearing the other party's retaliation in the slightest, lay comfortably on the ground and looked at the man.

This sight left the man shaking his head with an amused helplessness.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you for messing with me like this?"

To be forced into such a sorry state by someone so young; if word got out, it would probably be a lifelong blemish.

Looking at the youth before him who set life and death aside, the man's eyes couldn't help but harbor a bit of admiration.

If this kid had a little more time, his future would be limitless.

"If you really intended to kill me, you would have done it already, wouldn't you?"

Not caring about the gaze assessing him, Xu Fan propped his cheek with one hand, lying on the ground, his mouth gradually curving into a smile as he said, "The reason I messed with you was just to teach you a lesson."

"Don't be too careless; even ants have a chance of shaking a tree."

If his cultivation level were a bit higher, perhaps the one lying on the ground right now wouldn't be him but the other guy.

"..."

Being lectured face-to-face by such a youngster, the man found it genuinely amusing.

Yet, recalling how he was just embarrassed by Xu Fan, he found it hard to laugh.

Indeed, if Xu Fan's cultivation level were a bit higher, he might have actually defeated him.

"Alright, thanks for the reminder, honestly."

The earlier fight had already drawn the attention of Xia Xiaodie and her group, who were now rushing over!

Leading the charge were Xia Xiaodie and Feng Huang.

"Bastard! Stop it!"

With Xu Fan now knocked to the ground, Xia Xiaodies's heart leapt into her throat!

Looking at the man, her eyes now brimmed with a measure of killing intent.

It seemed the man didn't expect such a seemingly frail girl could reveal such a determined look, and he was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.

Once he came to, he quickly walked over to Xu Fan and gave him a kick on the butt.

"You little brat."

This kick made Xu Fan inhale sharply, rubbing the spot as he looked up at the guy.

Did I damn well provoke you?

"Alright, kid, you're quite a talent, but for the troubles waiting for you, you'd better push through; don't end up lying on the ground like this again."

"I'm off!"

After a couple of rushed words, the man's figure flicked, vanishing into the night in an instant, leaving no trace.

"You big dummy!"

At this time, Xia Xiaodie and her group came rushing over.

Xia Xiaodie suddenly threw herself into Xu Fan's arms, hugging him tightly!

Tightly embracing Xia Xiaodie's delicate body, Xu Fan clearly felt how intense her heartbeat was at this moment.

Obviously, seeing him down on the ground had pushed the woman to the brink of worry.

Listening to her soft sobbing, Xu Fan helplessly patted her back.

"Alright, silly girl, why are you crying? See, I'm fine?"

He wasn't lying to Xia Xiaodie. Though he was slightly injured, it wasn't serious. Xu Fan comforted her as he picked himself up from the ground.

"Okay, look at yourself, your face is all messed up from crying."

Carefully wiping the tears off Xia Xiaodie's face, Xu Fan leaned down and kissed her cheek.

He knew very well for whom those tears were shed.

If something had really happened to him just now, this girl probably wouldn't want to live either.

After coaxing Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan looked over to Feng Huang and Gongsun Qin.

Opening his arms, he said, "Alright, I know you all want this too, come on, indulge me to your heart's content!"

"Pfft."

Xu Fan's jest instantly dispelled the worry in the hearts of the two women.

If he could joke like this, it was surely nothing serious.

"Xu Fan, who was that guy?"

After some banter, Feng Huang asked the pressing question.

The guy clearly had the chance to kill Xu Fan but only gave him a couple of kicks instead.

They had clearly fought, yet it ended like this. Feng Huang couldn't comprehend whether the guy was a friend or foe.

"I don't know either, but he's probably not an enemy."

Xu Fan exhaled, sighed, and said.

Remembering that guy running up and kicking him, Xu Fan found it both amusing and strange.

Who exactly was that guy?

There were too few clues at the moment, just knowing that the guy's cultivation level was extraordinarily high.

Xu Fan pondered for a while but really couldn't figure it out.

"Silly girl, next time something like this happens, don't rush in, understand?"

Recalling Xia Xiaodie's brave charge earlier, Xu Fan couldn't help but advise.

At least Feng Huang and Gongsun Qin had some cultivation, but she, with no martial skills, was the fiercest, leaving people at a loss.

Knowing how easily that guy could have killed her made his heart heavy.

"Hmph, I won't."

Clearly, Xia Xiaodie didn't take his advice seriously, wrinkling her nose and retorting.

Xu Fan saw it, shook his head, and knowing her personality, didn't harp on it.

"Alright, everyone stop chasing, let him go."

Looking at the special forces preparing to pursue, Xu Fan stopped them.

Given that guy's cultivation, he was long gone by now; they couldn't possibly catch him.

"Let's go, it's time to head back."

Every cloud has a silver lining; maybe having the Bronze Box taken by that guy tonight was a good thing.

Xu Fan looked at the Zhu Ling Blood in his hand and let out a deep sigh.

The burden is heavy, and the road is long...

By now, the camp had been cleared, and it wouldn't be long before people from Diannan would come to take the impoverished children imprisoned in the dungeon back.

There weren't many matters left for Xu Fan to personally handle. Moreover, given his light injuries, at the strong urging of the three women, they immediately got in the car, planning to head back to Diannan early.

In the car, Xu Fan gazed out of the window at the passing trees, his thoughts drifting back to before.

He recalled what that guy had said beside him.

Was it true that he was about to face a big trouble?

What could it be?
