If someone witnessed Xiao Yufan’s current speed, they would surely be left speechless with astonishment. This speed had already surpassed the vehicle’s limits;可怜 this car was probably nearing its end…
Dongfang Yanran’s delicate hands gripped the handle tightly, as if letting go would send her flying. The surroundings flashed by in a blur, and she didn’t even dare to turn her head.
Since leaving the Tian organization, this was Xiao Yufan’s first real demonstration of his terrifying driving skills. A journey that should have taken at least forty minutes was now cut down to twenty…
“We’re here!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice remained calm. No matter who this madman was, he had already decided that the man would not leave alive, so he had no need to learn anything else.
Swallowing the nausea in her stomach, Dongfang Yanran slowly lifted her head. As soon as her foot touched the ground, dizziness nearly made her stumble and fall, but Xiao Yufan caught her just in time.
Ignoring the spinning sensation, Dongfang Yanran strode straight into the factory. Although only about twenty minutes had passed, they were nearing the half-hour mark. Who knew whether the madman would break his word?
Xiao Yufan followed her inside, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his lips. Since the Killer Alliance was so eager to die, he had no objection to sending them off.
“Huaying, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Inside the factory, only the madman stood there. Dongfang Yanran didn’t even see her mother, and her brows furrowed slightly. She deeply hated this feeling of being threatened—deeply hated it!
“Where is she? I warned you—if anything happens to her, you and all your relatives will die with her!”
Seeing the man with yellowed teeth, Dongfang Yanran’s eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent. Yet she also felt puzzled. The madman’s aura hadn’t been this strong before, but now, she had the vague feeling that she might not be his match.
“She’s fine. But you’re about to be in trouble. Worry about yourself first…”
The madman stood up, glancing at Dongfang Yanran before shifting his gaze to Xiao Yufan. He could sense that the man beside her was no ordinary person.
It was a kind of instinct—an assassin’s instinct. Under Xiao Yufan’s gaze, he actually felt as if his insides were being seen through.
“You really think you can kill me?”
Dongfang Yanran could sense it too—there were no other assassins in the factory. That meant the madman truly believed he could kill her alone.
“She said all she wanted was for me to bring you back. She knows I could never kill you.”
Despite sensing something strange about Xiao Yufan, the madman still wouldn’t retreat. As long as he handled Dongfang Yanran, he could fulfill his desire for that woman. Even if it cost him something, it would be worth it.
“If I’m not mistaken, you’ve hidden Yanran’s mother behind there…”
Looking around, Xiao Yufan敏锐ly detected a faint breath. That person emitted no killing intent, so it must be Yanran’s mother. The factory was vast and empty, and the only place someone could hide was behind that steel plate.

“Oh? Who exactly are you?”
The madman’s expression slightly changed. He realized he had been too arrogant. This man’s strength might actually surpass his own. Without a hostage, he could be in real danger.
“A killer—sent for you!”
A smile curled his lips. Xiao Yufan was somewhat surprised that this madman was also a master at the Qi凝聚 state level. How could he not be excited? This would be the perfect test of his strength.
“Hmph, I’d like to see just how you plan to kill me!”
Feeling the change in Xiao Yufan’s aura, the madman sneered coldly. His inner energy surged forth instantly, the powerful pressure sending Dongfang Yanran stumbling backward a few steps. He had never imagined that this seemingly straightforward mission would run into an expert in inner cultivation.
“Yanran, go save your mother. Leave this monster to me!”
Turning, Xiao Yufan glanced at Dongfang Yanran and spoke. She definitely wouldn’t stand a chance against that madman. The gap between the Xiu Shen Jing and the Lian Ti Jing was like an insurmountable chasm reaching up to the heavens.
“The more arrogant one is, the sooner they die!”
Hearing Xiao Yufan call him a monster, the madman finally lost his mind completely. It wasn’t his fault for being ugly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed such peculiar habits. That word “monster” had directly stepped on his last nerve—even his uncle couldn’t tolerate it, let alone his aunt.
Without even bothering with Dongfang Yanran, the madman charged straight at Xiao Yufan—he would tear this arrogant man apart…
“Even if you’ve entered the Xiu Shen Jing, right now you’re still only slightly stronger than an average person. In my eyes, you’re nothing but trash!”
Watching the madman charge, Xiao Yufan made a move that surprised him—he didn’t retreat from the attack but instead rushed forward to meet it head-on.
The madman was confident in his strength. Even ordinary Lifting-Qi stage experts might struggle to resist it, so he couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased. It seemed he had already cornered Xiao Yufan. Once Xiao Yufan was dealt with, he could naturally handle Dongfang Yanran.
But before he could finish his fantasy, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shot through his arm, and half his body violently trembled.
In the next second, his body was already flying—literally flying. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan’s strength to be so much greater, and his inner energy was even more condensed.
“This is a tough one!” was the only thought flashing through the madman’s mind. He had suffered a serious disadvantage in the first move. He wasn’t stupid—he knew the gap between them was real.
“Killing is an art—and you, well, you’re not good enough!”
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yufan’s face as he shook his head. Even if this madman was a true assassin, the number of people he had killed couldn’t compare.
“Arrogant!” The madman’s right arm was completely numb, yet his气势 did not waver. He now realized that Xiao Yufan was also a凝气境 master—and evidently stronger than himself. All his pride had turned into mockery.
“Whether I’m arrogant or not—you’ll find out soon enough…”
Having entered the凝气境 (Ning Qi Jing), Xiao Yufan could now perfectly control his inner energy, and his strength had risen to a terrifying level. Even though the madman was no weakling, compared to Xiao Yufan, he was still far behind. And in a battle between experts, even the slightest difference could prove to be deadly…
