Dozens of thugs wielding machetes charged at Xiao Yufan. He lifted his foot and kicked one thug’s wrist; a cracking sound echoed as the wrist limply dropped and the machete flew into the air.
Simultaneously, several nearby thugs slashed downward, but Xiao Yufan leapt up, catching the falling machete mid-air. With a sudden spin, he sliced the blade across the necks of four assailants. Before their weapons could complete their downward arcs, a chilling sensation swept across their throats.
Blood gushed out immediately, and the four collapsed lifelessly to the ground. The surrounding attackers, witnessing the bloody spectacle around Xiao Yufan and Tianxuan, became even more frenzied, roaring as they charged forward.
Each slash felled an opponent, and for every fallen thug, another rushed in. Despite Xiao Yufan’s immense strength, he couldn’t withstand the sheer numbers. As more attackers surged forward, Xiao Yufan’s fury erupted completely. His ghost-like figure continuously shifted positions, and not a single thug could approach the two.
Tianxuan’s terrifying power was fully unleashed as well. Before these men, she seemed like a wrathful goddess, relentlessly eroding their psychological defenses.
Dozens of thugs brandished machetes, slashing towards Xiao Yufan. With a swift kick to one of their wrists, a sharp crack echoed as the man’s wrist went limp, and his machete flew into the air…
Several others swung their blades simultaneously. Xiao Yufan leaped into the air, catching the falling machete mid-flight. With a sudden spin, his blade sliced across the necks of four attackers. Before their blades could fully descend, they felt a chilling cold at their throats.
Blood gushed out as the four bodies crumpled to the ground. The thugs surrounding Xiao Yufan and Tianxuan, witnessing this bloody scene, grew even more frenzied, roaring as they charged forward…
With each swing of his blade, another thug fell. As one fell, another took their place. Despite Xiao Yufan’s formidable strength, the sheer number of attackers began to wear him down. Seeing the relentless onslaught, Xiao Yufan’s fury erupted. His ghostly figure shifted positions incessantly, preventing anyone from getting close to him and Tianxuan.
Tianxuan’s terrifying power was fully unleashed. In the eyes of these thugs, she seemed to transform into a demon, relentlessly eroding their psychological defenses…
The ground was stained red with blood, and an unknown fear of death loomed over everyone. The killing intent emanating from Xiao Yufan intimidated them all, and no one dared to charge forward anymore. The frenzy was quickly replaced by fear…
With every step Xiao Yufan took, the surrounding thugs retreated. The man who had been shouting earlier finally couldn’t bear the eerie atmosphere and yelled, “Damn it, I don’t believe so many of us can’t take you down! Everyone, charge—”
But before he could finish, Xiao Yufan’s machete flew through the air, embedding itself in the man’s chest. In an instant, he collapsed. Xiao Yufan felt a sticky wetness on his body, unsure if it was sweat or blood.
The cries of the wounded added to the eerie atmosphere, sapping any remaining fighting spirit. The remaining thugs began to retreat, their eyes filled with terror. In their minds, Xiao Yufan and Tianxuan were no longer human…
Those who could still crawl retreated the way they came, leaving as quickly as they had arrived. Only the glaring bloodstains on the ground bore witness to the fierce battle that had just taken place.
Including An Jiansheng, the small-time thugs watched the chaotic scene, swallowing hard. They felt a sense of relief that they hadn’t fully provoked this man earlier; otherwise, they wouldn’t be standing here now…
“What are you waiting for? Help me get out of here!”
Having witnessed Xiao Yufan’s true power, An Jiansheng dared not linger. He might have lost his ability to touch women, but at least he still had his life. Compared to those lying on the ground, he considered himself incredibly lucky.
They fled at breakneck speed, suppressing the nausea in their stomachs. Only after running a considerable distance did they finally vomit. The scenes they had witnessed were too bizarre and bloody…
Meanwhile, Xiao Yufan’s tense nerves gradually relaxed as the crowd dispersed. Seeing the blush on Tianxuan’s delicate face, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Since the underworld forces of Linjiang had sent him such a “gift,” how could he possibly let it slide?
“Tianyi, I’m on West River Road. Come and clean up the mess. Tonight, make sure the brothers are on high alert. I want Linjiang to kneel before me with the emergence of the Dark Gate!”
Pulling out his phone, Xiao Yufan dialed Tianyi’s number, his voice sharp and commanding. This time, he was truly enraged. Fortunately, Tianxuan was unharmed, or else he would have made the entire Linjiang underworld pay…
Upon receiving the call, Tianyi acted without hesitation. Along with a few members of the Tian group, he arrived at the scene within minutes. Seeing the bodies on the ground and the lingering bloodstains, they felt a pang of fear. If anything had happened to Xiao Yufan, they would have been irredeemable.
After a quick cleanup of the scene, Xiao Yufan was confident that even if the police questioned him, he could shift the blame. After all, from start to finish, he had been the victim.
The fact that the police hadn’t shown up for so long indicated that Linjiang was in chaos. This created a perfect opportunity for the Dark Gate. Without the protection of the Situ family, if the Dark Gate caused any trouble, Xiao Yufan would have to rely solely on himself…
When Qingluan and the others reappeared, the area had been mostly cleaned up, but the stench of blood still lingered. Qin Nan’s brow furrowed slightly, not out of concern for what had happened, but more for Xiao Yufan.
“Xiao Fan, are you okay?”
Seeing the bloodstains on Xiao Yufan’s clothes, Qin Nan felt a pang of worry. In her eyes, Xiao Yufan was like a younger brother, and there was also a hint of unspoken affection between them, though it had faded over time…
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Those guys couldn’t hurt me.”
A warm smile crossed Xiao Yufan’s lips, a stark contrast to the coldness he had shown earlier. He knew how to face those close to him and how to deal with enemies. Showing mercy to enemies was cruelty to oneself…
“Why do you have to be so stubborn? Don’t you know I’d worry too? What if something had happened to you…”
Qingluan’s eyes were slightly red as she threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms. After losing her brother, she had come to see Xiao Yufan as her only family, and she couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to him.
“You saw it too, I had no choice. I promise, next time I won’t be so reckless…”
Her tear-streaked face softened as Xiao Yufan tried to calm her nearly explosive emotions. He understood her concern all too well…
“Are you really okay?”
Lan Yue’s delicate hand gently brushed through her disheveled hair, seemingly casual, but Xiao Yufan could feel the slight tremble in her body. Though she was shy in expressing her feelings, her emotions still moved him.
“Would you like to check for yourself and see if I’m okay?”
Gently cupping Lan Yue’s chin, Xiao Yufan spoke with a playful tone, completely unlike someone who had just walked through the brink of death. His gesture caused a blush to spread from Lan Yue’s cheeks to her ears.
Looking at the three equally remarkable women, Qin Nan felt a sense of disbelief. Could Xiao Yufan really have gathered such extraordinary women around him? Even if he were exceptional, could he really possess such charm? But she forgot that this man had always had a way with women…
With every step Xiao Yufan took, the surrounding thugs retreated. Finally, unable to endure the eerie atmosphere, the man who had been shouting orders yelled, “Damn it! I don’t believe so many of us can’t kill you! Keep attacking…”
But before he could finish, Xiao Yufan’s machete flew through the air, impaling the man straight in the chest. In an instant, he collapsed. Xiao Yufan felt a damp stickiness on his body—he couldn’t tell if it was sweat or blood.
The wounded cried out in agony, making the atmosphere even more bizarre. No one had any fighting spirit left, and the remaining thugs began retreating. In their eyes, Xiao Yufan and Tianxuan were no longer human.
Those still capable of moving scrambled back the way they came. They arrived quickly and departed just as swiftly, leaving only the glaring crimson stains on the ground as evidence of the brutal battle that had just occurred.
Including An Jiansheng, several small-time hooligans stared at the chaos, swallowing hard. They felt relieved they hadn’t provoked that man completely, or else they wouldn’t even have the chance to stand and speak now.
“What are you waiting for? Help me walk, damn it…”
Having witnessed Xiao Yufan’s true power, An Jiansheng didn’t dare hesitate any longer. At least he was still alive, even if he couldn’t touch women anymore. Compared to those lying on the ground, he was already incredibly fortunate.
They fled at top speed, suppressing their nausea until they had run far away before vomiting violently. The scene they had witnessed was just too strange and bloody.
At this moment, after the crowd had dispersed, Xiao Yufan’s tightly wound nerves finally began to relax. Looking at the flush on Tianxuan’s beautiful face, the cold glint in his eyes vanished momentarily. Since the underworld in Linjiang had given him such a grand gift, how could he possibly swallow his anger and let it go?
“Tianyi, I’m at Xijiang Road. Come here and clean up the mess. Tonight, I want every brother to stay alert. I will make Linjiang kneel before the Dark Gate!”
Pulling out his phone, Xiao Yufan called Tianyi, his voice extremely sharp. This time, he was truly enraged. Fortunately, Tianxuan hadn’t been injured, or else he would have made the entire Linjiang underworld pay with their lives.
Upon receiving the call, Tianyi didn’t hesitate at all. Within minutes, he and the Tian team arrived at the scene. Seeing the bodies on the ground and the bloodstains that hadn’t yet faded, they felt momentarily uneasy. If anything had happened to Xiao Yufan, they would never be able to atone for their failure.
After a quick cleanup of the scene, Xiao Yufan believed he could easily shift the blame if the police asked. After all, from start to finish, he had merely been the victim.
The fact that the police hadn’t shown up for so long indicated that Linjiang must be in a state of chaos. This, in turn, created a favorable opportunity for the Dark Gate. Without Situ family protection here, if anything happened to the Dark Gate, it would still fall solely on his shoulders.
When Qingluan and the others arrived, the area had already been mostly cleared, but the stench of blood continued to spread. Qin Nan’s brows slightly furrowed—not out of concern for what had happened, but more for Xiao Yufan’s well-being.
“Xiao Fan, are you okay?”
Seeing the blood-soaked clothes on Xiao Yufan, Qin Nan was immediately filled with worry. In her eyes, Xiao Yufan was like a younger brother, and on top of that familial affection, there was also a hint of deeper emotion, though it had gradually faded with time.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Those guys couldn’t hurt me!”
A gentle smile curved Xiao Yufan’s lips, completely different from his earlier icy demeanor. He knew how to behave around loved ones and understood how to deal with enemies. Showing mercy to enemies was tantamount to cruelty to oneself.
“Why do you have to act so tough? Don’t you know I’m worried about you? What would happen if something happened to you…”
Qingluan’s eyes turned red as she rushed straight into Xiao Yufan’s arms. Ever since leaving her older brother, she had regarded Xiao Yufan as her only family, so she couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to her man.
“You saw it yourself. Your husband had no choice but to fight back. I promise, next time I won’t be so impulsive…”
Her tear-streaked face looked even more tender. To calm her nearly exploding emotions, Xiao Yufan could only make promises. How could he not understand this girl’s concern?
“Really, are you okay?”
Lan Yue’s delicate hand gently combed through her loose hair, seemingly casual, but Xiao Yufan could still feel the slight tremble in her body. Though this girl was too shy to express her feelings openly, there were still moments that deeply moved him.
“Do you want to check for yourself and see if I’m really okay…”
Gently lifting Lan Yue’s chin, Xiao Yufan said playfully, not at all like someone who had just gone through life and death. His actions made Lan Yue’s face flush red, the color spreading all the way to her ears.
Looking at the three equally outstanding women, Qin Nan felt astonished. Could Xiao Yufan really gather so many excellent girls around him? Even if he were extraordinary, could he really possess such charm? But she had forgotten—this man always seemed to have an unusually good relationship with women…
