Dozens of thugs wielding machetes charged at Xiao Yufan. He lifted his foot and kicked one thug’s wrist, which snapped with a “crack” before going limp, causing the weapon to fly into the air.
At the same time, several nearby thugs slashed downward. Xiao Yufan leapt up, catching the falling machete midair, and spun his body rapidly. The blade sliced across the necks of four assailants before their own weapons could fully descend, and they felt a chilling sensation at their throats.
Blood spurted out immediately, and the four collapsed lifelessly onto the ground. The surrounding thugs, witnessing the bloody spectacle, became even more frenzied and roared as they charged forward…
Each slash of Xiao Yufan’s blade felled another opponent, and for every fallen enemy, another took their place. Despite Xiao Yufan’s extraordinary strength, he couldn’t withstand the endless waves of attackers. Faced with the relentless onslaught, Xiao Yufan finally lost his temper. His ghost-like figure kept shifting positions, and no one could get close to either him or Tianxuan.
Tianxuan’s terrifying power was also fully unleashed. Before the thugs, she seemed like a wrathful demoness, continuously eroding their psychological defenses…
The ground had turned crimson with blood, and an unknown fear of death loomed over everyone. The killing intent radiating from Xiao Yufan intimidated all the attackers, and no one dared to rush forward anymore. Madness was quickly replaced by fear…
With every step Xiao Yufan took, the surrounding thugs retreated a bit. Finally, someone who had been shouting orders couldn’t bear the eerie atmosphere any longer and yelled, “Damn it, I don’t believe so many people can’t kill you! Keep attacking…”
But before he could finish, Xiao Yufan’s machete flew through the air and pierced the man’s chest. In an instant, he collapsed to the ground. 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, further intensifying the eerie atmosphere. The remaining thugs lost all fighting spirit and began to retreat. In their eyes, Xiao Yufan and Tianxuan were no longer human…
Those still capable of movement scrambled to flee the way they came, arriving swiftly and departing just as quickly. Only the glaring crimson stains on the ground bore witness to the brutal battle that had just occurred.
Even An Jiansheng and his few hooligan companions gulped nervously as they watched the chaos unfold. They felt relieved they hadn’t provoked this man earlier, or else they wouldn’t have been standing there to speak now…
“What are you still standing around for? Help me get the hell out of here…”
Having witnessed Xiao Yufan’s true power, An Jiansheng dared not stay any longer. At least he was still alive, even if temporarily unable to be intimate with women. Compared to those already lying on the ground, he considered himself incredibly fortunate.
They fled at top speed, barely able to contain their nausea. Only after running a considerable distance did they finally vomit, the scene they had just witnessed too bizarre and bloody to bear.
At this moment, as the crowd dispersed, Xiao Yufan gradually relaxed his tightly wound nerves. Seeing the flush on Tianxuan’s beautiful face, the cold gleam in his eyes momentarily softened. Since the underworld forces of Linjiang had given him such a “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 all the brothers to stay sharp. I will make Linjiang kneel before the Dark Gate!”
He took out his phone and dialed Tianyi. Xiao Yufan’s voice was extremely sharp. This time, he was truly furious. 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. Within minutes, he and the Tian squad arrived at the scene. Seeing the bodies lying on the ground and the bloodstains that hadn’t yet faded, they felt momentarily alarmed—if anything had happened to Xiao Yufan, they would never be able to atone for their failure.
After a brief cleanup of the scene, Xiao Yufan was confident he could deny any involvement if the police investigated. After all, from start to finish, he had been the victim.
It had been quite some time, yet no sign of police intervention appeared, indicating that Linjiang must be in a state of extreme disorder. This actually created a favorable opportunity for the Dark Gate. Without Situ family protection here, if anything happened to the Dark Gate, Xiao Yufan would have to rely solely on himself…
When Qingluan and the others arrived, the area had already been mostly cleared. Yet the stench of blood continued to spread. Qinnan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed—not out of fear of what had happened, but more out of concern for Xiao Yufan.
“Xiao Fan, are you okay?”
Seeing the blood-soaked clothes on Xiao Yufan, Qinnan was immediately filled with worry. In her eyes, Xiao Yufan was like a younger brother, and beyond that familial bond lingered a subtle emotional attachment that had gradually faded over time.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Those guys couldn’t hurt me!”
A gentle smile curved Xiao Yufan’s lips, completely different from the icy demeanor he had displayed moments ago. He knew how to act around those he loved and understood precisely how to face his enemies. Being merciful to enemies meant being cruel to himself…
“Why do you always have to act so tough? Don’t you know I worry about you? What would happen if something happened to you…”
Qingluan’s eyes reddened as she rushed into Xiao Yufan’s arms. Ever since leaving her older brother, she had come to regard Xiao Yufan as her only family, and she never wanted anything to happen 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 appeared even more delicate and tender. To soothe her near-outburst of emotion, Xiao Yufan could only make promises. How could he not understand her concern?
“Really, you’re okay?”
Lanyue gently ran her hand through her loose, cascading hair, seemingly casual, yet Xiao Yufan could still sense the slight trembling in her body. Though she hesitated to express her feelings, her emotions deeply moved him.
“Do you want to check for yourself and see if something’s wrong with me…”
Gently cupping Lanyue’s chin in his hand, Xiao Yufan teased slightly, not appearing at all like someone who had just emerged from a life-and-death struggle. His actions caused Lanyue’s face to flush bright red, the color spreading all the way to her ears.
Looking at the three equally remarkable women, Qinnan found it hard to believe—could Xiao Yufan really bring together such extraordinary girls? Even if he was exceptional, could he really possess such charm? Yet she had forgotten—this man always seemed to have a special affinity with women…
