Shen Fan had been certain that his actions were watertight, and that all his arrangements were foolproof.
However, as he left the Market, ready to embark on his return journey to the Heavenly Xuan Sect, a shout suddenly came from behind him:
"Hey, brother, you forgot something!"
The voice was like a thunderclap, exploding in Shen Fan's ears.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw Biaozi leading two people, hurrying after him with anxious expressions.
Seeing this, Shen Fan's brow furrowed instantly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"Forgot something?"
Shen Fan thought to himself, how could that be?
He had carefully checked everything before leaving, and there was no way he could have left anything behind.
In an instant, Shen Fan's heart sank, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He knew that he had changed two sets of equipment this time, wandering around the stall area and the shantytown, taking several detours before coming out. There was no way these guys could have followed him so easily.
This could only mean that they were determined to stick to him this time, so they had been tailing him all the way here.
If that was the case, he was likely followed last time as well, but they lost him then.
And this time, they had obviously made enough preparations to avoid losing him again.
Thinking of this, Shen Fan replied with his mouth, but his footsteps did not stop at all, but accelerated a bit.
"Didn't leave anything behind, I checked carefully!"
He said, quickening his pace.
"Well, my neighbor's great-grandmother is giving birth today, I have something urgent to do, I'll take my leave first!"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Fan turned around and ran wildly in the direction of the Heavenly Xuan Sect.
At the same time, the spiritual power in his body circulated, and the wind rose under his feet, and his speed suddenly increased by several levels.
"Catch him!"
Seeing that things were exposed, the three guys immediately quickened their pace and chased after him like hungry wolves.
What made Shen Fan's heart tighten was that these three guys had all learned the Wind Riding Technique. He saw them jump up and quickly surround him.
"Hehe, brother, why are you running? You dare to come to the Market without even knowing the Wind Riding Technique?"
Biaozi grinned, approaching step by step.
"I'm telling you, I'm a Heavenly Xuan Sect disciple. This place is still close to the Market, and the Heavenly Xuan Sect Enforcement Team patrols this area within a hundred miles. If they find out, you won't be able to escape!"
Shen Fan brought out the name of the Heavenly Xuan Sect, trying to deter the other party.
But obviously, this childish trick could not scare the other party at all.
"The Heavenly Xuan Sect Enforcement Disciples do patrol around the Market, but they are changing shifts. As long as we move fast enough, no one will find us!"
Biaozi's face was full of disdain, holding a low-grade magical weapon, a broadsword, and slashed it fiercely at Shen Fan's head.
This guy was ruthless and swift, without the slightest hesitation. He used a life-threatening move as soon as he made a move, and was obviously a habitual offender.
"Boom!"
At the critical moment, Shen Fan hastily used the Flame Serpent Art.
A half-meter-long flame roared out, but disappeared without a trace in just an instant.
"Haha..."
This scene immediately made Biaozi laugh.
"Flame Serpent Art? It's actually the Flame Serpent Art? You kid actually cultivated that garbage thing after buying it back?"
You know, Biaozi was the introducer when Shen Fan bought the Flame Serpent Art.
He couldn't be more clear about the power of this Flame Serpent Art. Now that he saw that Shen Fan had actually cultivated it, he couldn't help but laugh so hard that he leaned back and forth.
Perhaps only he could understand the humor in it.
"Biaozi, what are you dawdling about? The Enforcement Team is coming soon!"
At this moment, a figure swept over quickly from a distance like a ghost, and immediately reprimanded him sternly when he arrived.
Shen Fan took a closer look and saw that this person was actually Baishitong.
At this time, he could see clearly that among the four opponents, two were at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, one was at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, and one was at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Seeing so many people, Shen Fan's heart suddenly turned cold, and he secretly cried out, "It's over!"
"Boy, in your next life, you have to be more careful. I'll teach you the principle that wealth should not be exposed!"
Baishitong's eyes revealed a strong killing intent, and he rushed towards Shen Fan directly.
Seeing this, Shen Fan immediately retreated.
However, he turned around and bumped into the two followers at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage.
"Crimson flames as a guide, burn away all evil!"
Shen Fan waved his hands, muttering under his breath.
Before this, he had already crushed a Fire Poison Pill, absorbing all the Fire Poison spiritual energy within it.
"Boom—!"
A three-foot-long fire serpent roared out, carrying a scorching aura, and exploded directly on the faces of the two men.
The power was so great that it blasted their heads apart.
The encirclement was instantly torn open, and Shen Fan didn't dare hesitate for a moment, immediately taking off towards the Heavenly Xuan Sect.
"I'll be damned...!"
Biaozi was stunned by the scene, his mouth wide open as if he could fit an egg inside.
"Is that the Flame Serpent Art?"
Baishitong was also shocked by the sudden explosion, his face full of disbelief.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Baishitong immediately used the Wind Riding Technique with Biaozi, chasing after him like a shadow.
"Is that the Flame Serpent Art? Does the Flame Serpent Art have that much power?" Baishitong asked, puzzled, as he chased.
"It is indeed the Flame Serpent Art, but I don't know why the power is so great. I saw this kid buy the Flame Serpent Art with my own eyes!"
Biaozi followed closely behind, stating with certainty.
"This guy must have secrets. Catch him and get him away from here!"
As Baishitong spoke, he lightly tapped the ground with his toes, his figure as fast as lightning, instantly reaching Shen Fan's back.
He raised his hand, preparing to grab Shen Fan.
However, the next moment, Shen Fan suddenly stopped, then formed hand seals with both hands and muttered, "Crimson flames as guide, burn away all evil!"
Baishitong's eyes widened, and with the strength of the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he forcibly bent over to dodge.
But Biaozi, who was right behind him, wasn't so lucky.
The three-foot-long fire serpent spat out flames, like a fierce viper.
Biaozi instinctively raised his arm to block, and the fire serpent viciously bit his arm, then exploded directly.
This sudden turnabout caught both of them off guard.
Fortunately, Baishitong reacted quickly and dodged.
But Biaozi was miserable, directly blasted to death.
"Kid, you're hiding pretty deep!"
Baishitong didn't seem to care about the deaths of the three at all.
Looking around, Baishitong flipped his wrist, and a dagger with a dark green blade stabbed straight at Shen Fan.
The speed was so fast that Shen Fan couldn't dodge at all.
He was just a newly advanced third-level Qi Refining Stage disciple.
His combat experience just now was already an extraordinary performance.
Faced with this kind of desperate thug, Shen Fan had no way to deal with it.
There was no time to hand-craft the Flame Serpent Art now. All Shen Fan could do was raise his arm to block subconsciously.
