Great Harvest and the Head Instructor

Burst our cultivation?

Jiang Chuan froze. This Wei Fan truly was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

"Utterly ignorant. You have only practiced martial arts for three months. No matter how talented you are, your Golden Bell Shield can at most be at the second level. You know nothing. Do you think killing Master Hu Jiu makes you invincible? Get him! Take him alive!"

With Jiang Chuan's furious roar, four or five burly men behind him leaped over the large red coffin and charged.

None of them used weapons. Some attacked with fists, others with palms. They did not take Wei Fan seriously at all and intended to capture him alive.

"They are all third-level True Qi martial artists. In the yamen, each of them would have the strength to serve as a captain!"

Wei Fan swept his gaze over them and instantly saw through every one of their cultivation levels. It could be said that Jiang Chuan already regarded him very seriously.

Together with Jiang Chuan and Li Shen, even a fifth-level True Qi expert would meet a bitter end here.

Unfortunately, they did not know that the person before them had cheats.

Flowing Cloud Chasing Wind Steps!

Wei Fan stepped into the air, his body soaring upward. He swept his saber in midair and spun in a circle.

The next instant, blood sprayed everywhere and heads hit the ground. The four or five burly men who had leaped up were all slain by his single stroke.

Immediately afterward, he cleaved out a blade aura from midair. Before Jiang Chuan could react, he was split directly into two.

Even at death, the man failed to comprehend Wei Fan's terror.

"With only this much ability, how did you have the nerve to say you would capture me alive?"

Wei Fan drifted down from the air. "Now you no longer need to grieve over your relatives' deaths, nor fear the Tiger King's retaliation. My purpose in coming here can be considered fulfilled. Hu Qing will definitely admire me even more when she learns of this.

"This is what a truly qualified yamen runner should be. Don't you agree, Captain Li?"

Wei Fan murmured with a smile, revealing gleaming white teeth. He looked exceptionally amiable.

Yet to Li Shen, that smile was more terrifying than seeing demons or monsters.

His face went deathly pale, and even his teeth chattered. "Blade... blade aura. You can actually use True Qi to produce blade aura. Just what level has your Golden Bell Shield reached?"

His eyesight could no longer make out how high Wei Fan's cultivation was, because he himself was only at the fifth level of True Qi.

However, he knew that to cleave out blade aura, one needed at least the seventh level of True Qi to release True Qi beyond the body. The Blood Fiend Saber Technique also had to reach the major mastery level.

Wei Fan smiled. "Captain Li, you are quite interesting. At a time like this, you are still only curious about what level my Golden Bell Shield has reached."

Li Shen's expression changed. Realizing the situation, he hurriedly begged for mercy. "Wei Fan, spare me. You killed Jiang Chuan's brother-in-law. I only pushed you out because I feared the Fierce Tiger Gang's retaliation. I did not truly intend to harm you.

"You know that, as a captain, if I want to protect more people, sometimes I have no choice but to sacrifice a few.

"I am not a bad person.

"If I had not done this, those tiger demons would have killed even more people. I hope you can understand. From now on, I will definitely be a good captain."

He had no intention of fleeing. Before a martial artist capable of cleaving out blade aura, running would only make him die faster.

If he appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, perhaps he might survive.

Wei Fan said, "Captain Li, do not be afraid. Have you forgotten that I said I would properly thank you?"

Li Shen was delighted, thinking Wei Fan intended to spare him. The next moment, however, Wei Fan's words sent him plunging into an icy abyss.

"Do not worry. I will be very quick. I guarantee you will not feel even a trace of pain!"

"Don't kill—"

Li Shen was horrified. Before he could finish, he felt everything in his vision tumbling without end.

My head has flown up...

The moment this thought arose, his vision rapidly darkened, and he soon lost consciousness.

Wei Fan kept his word and gave Li Shen a quick death.

After sheathing his saber, he finally looked at the panel:

Killed Jiang Chuan, gained ten years of cultivation

Killed Li Shen, gained eleven years of cultivation

Killed Jiang Ping, gained five years of cultivation

...

Current cultivation: 46 years

Wei Fan beamed. He had actually gained forty-six years of cultivation in one go.

He was in no hurry to leave. He searched the rooms, and only after confirming there was no one else did he open the courtyard gate and walk away.

As for the corpses, the Fierce Tiger Gang would naturally send someone to clean them up.

"Wei Fan, are you all right?"

After taking two steps, he ran straight into Hu Qing and Head Instructor Hu Qingyun.

Wei Fan shook his head and cupped his hands. "This subordinate greets Instructor Hu!"

Hu Qingyun frowned slightly. "You smell of blood. It seems this old man came for nothing."

His eyes flickered with uncertainty. Could Wei Fan have killed Jiang Chuan and the others?

Others might not know, but as the yamen's head martial arts instructor, how could he not know that Li Shen, Jiang Chuan, and the others were birds of a feather? Otherwise, he would not have rushed here.

Now Wei Fan had come out smelling of blood. If he had not killed Jiang Chuan and the others, there was no way he could have emerged.

But that was far too unbelievable!

Wei Fan had martial talent, but how could he possibly, after merely three months, kill a leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang?

"Blood? What happened inside? How could they possibly let you leave?"

Hu Qing had rushed to ask her father to come precisely because she wanted to save Wei Fan. If Jiang Chuan had been so easy to reason with, she would not have needed to beg her father.

Wei Fan revealed a sorrowful expression. "A fight broke out inside. Originally, I came to apologize, intending to gain Leader Jiang's forgiveness and help him emerge from the grief of losing his relatives.

"But Leader Jiang was stubborn and refused to forgive me no matter what. Captain Li pleaded for me in the middle. Somehow, as they talked, he started fighting with Leader Jiang, and then they perished together.

"This all began because of me. I am grief-stricken right now and only want to go home and eat—oh, no, I mean I do not want to talk.

"Instructor Hu, this subordinate will take his leave first!"

After cupping his hands, Wei Fan walked around Hu Qingyun and Hu Qing and left.

"Li Shen and Jiang Chuan's group perished together?"

Hu Qing was already dumbfounded. How could this have happened? Had she misunderstood Captain Li all along? Was he actually a good person?

"You silly girl, listen to that brat's nonsense. Not a single word out of his mouth is true!"

Seeing his daughter's expression, Hu Qingyun could not help sighing.

The girl was not stupid, but for some reason, she believed everything Wei Fan said.

"I am not silly. Wei Fan would not lie to me!" Hu Qing retorted.

When he said he would come apologize, he came. Even if those people might harm him, he still came. When had Wei Fan ever lied to her?

"Wait here. I will go in and take a look!"

This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation. Hu Qingyun could not be bothered to say more. He pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

"Jiang Chuan and Li Shen really are all dead!"

The sight before him made Hu Qingyun suck in a breath. He had a premonition that a great calamity was about to unfold.

The Tiger King's young son had died, and now Jiang Chuan and Li Shen were dead as well. It would be strange if the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Tiger King did not go berserk.

"Who was so ruthless as to dare kill both a leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang and a yamen captain?"

Though Wei Fan's mouth was full of lies, he did not believe Wei Fan had killed these people. Wei Fan might have seen the true murderer, but had not said anything.

After all, these people were no good. Whoever killed them was ridding the people of evil. Given what he knew of Wei Fan, he would not report a genuinely good person for the sake of several scum.

"See? Wei Fan did not lie to me. Captain Li and Jiang Chuan really did perish together!"

Hu Qing also walked in and pointed at the bodies in the courtyard. She was not the least bit afraid of all the blood.

Hu Qingyun glared. "They were all killed in a single strike, without the slightest trace of a fight. Tell your father, then, how did they perish together?"

"You cannot even see that? And you are the yamen's head martial arts instructor. Clearly, Captain Li launched a sneak attack and killed Jiang Chuan's few small fry in one move. Then Jiang Chuan attacked Captain Li, and the two used one move at the same time to kill each other.

"Are you trying to say Wei Fan killed them? He has only practiced martial arts for three months. How could he possibly kill so many experts at once?"

It was a perfect deduction. Hu Qingyun did not say a word for a long while.

Who had killed these people was not important. None of them were good people anyway.

And if Wei Fan truly had killed them, that would be far too terrifying. It was better to pretend he did not know.

"Go call someone. There is so much blood here. If the bodies are not dealt with, they could easily attract unclean things."

Without lingering any longer, Hu Qingyun took his daughter Hu Qing to the yamen to call people.

The yamen could ignore who the murderer was, but these bodies had to be dealt with. If they attracted filthy things, those were terrifying creatures even harder to deal with than demons.
