The Azure Dragon wore a more smug expression, even though he had resorted to some trickery. It didn’t matter, as long as he could defeat this man—it would be enough…
However, his emotions fluctuated slightly, and immediately his footing became flawed. Xiao Yufan naturally would not miss such an opportunity. In a battle between experts, even the smallest mistake could be fatal!
Seeing the right leg of the Azure Dragon swinging downward, Xiao Yufan did not dodge. Instead, he grabbed it directly. As the Azure Dragon momentarily hesitated, he suddenly felt his body becoming weightless…
In the next instant, he was horrified to discover that due to the pulling force, Xiao Yufan had actually escaped danger, while he himself was now leaning far over the edge, unable to find any support.
Victory and defeat had instantly switched roles. The Azure Dragon closed his eyes resignedly. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to react so sharply—this man’s strength had far exceeded his imagination…
Yet soon, the Azure Dragon realized he hadn’t fallen. Instead, Xiao Yufan had grabbed him, saving him from death. A feeling of relief surged through him. He didn’t want to die—it was a sudden realization he had just had.
“Why did you save me…?”
Just now, the Azure Dragon had indeed been ready to kill him, because killing had always given him pleasure, especially killing a man stronger than himself.
“Because you’ve already lost. That means you’re now my little brother. I won’t let my own brother die!”
A smile spread across Xiao Yufan’s face, his lips curving into a mysterious arc. The Azure Dragon had already lost, and his goal had been achieved. He certainly didn’t wish for such a powerful opponent to perish, even if they hadn’t been friends before.
“Are you really so confident that I will keep my word? You should be able to find out that the Chen family has done me a favor, which is why I stayed by their side. If you want me to betray them, you need to give me a reason!”
With a sudden effort, the Azure Dragon pulled himself back up to the mountaintop. Looking at Xiao Yufan, his eyes flickered with an unusual light…
“Because now I have also done you a favor—one that saved your life!”
The reason Xiao Yufan trusted the Azure Dragon was purely instinctive. Of course, Xiao Yufan believed his instincts were correct.
“You win!” The Azure Dragon swallowed hard, his tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxing. He wasn’t a sore loser, so he knew what he must do. Even though the Chen family had helped him, he had already repaid that debt over the past few years. Therefore, leaving them caused him no sense of guilt.
“You didn’t tell me—how much of your strength did you use just now?”
The Azure Dragon could clearly sense that Xiao Yufan hadn’t used his full strength, so he finally asked. This man was indeed monstrous—so much so that he was even stronger than the person who had once tried to kill him.
“About seventy percent,” Xiao Yufan replied without hesitation. He had indeed been holding back. Still, the Azure Dragon had surprised him quite a bit. After all, even when facing the entire Tian Group, he hadn’t needed to use more than seventy percent of his strength.
“Monstrous!” The Azure Dragon laughed as he spoke. If Xiao Yufan had used his full strength, he probably wouldn’t be standing here so calmly anymore. It seemed he had underestimated this man far too much.
“You still haven’t told me your decision. Are you staying or not…?”
Xiao Yufan smiled and shook his head. He didn’t mind the nickname at all, since his strength was indeed a bit overwhelming. But what he wanted now was the Azure Dragon’s answer.
“Do I have a choice? Besides, following the young master of the Dark Gate probably won’t be beneath me, the Azure Dragon…”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Azure Dragon had already made his decision. At this moment, Xiao Yufan finally allowed a genuine smile to spread across his face. Chen Jia Min would never have imagined that the assassin he had brought along to kill him had been so easily won over…
