"What are you trying to do?"
Jiang Fan saw Old Third Yue and the others surround him after killing the Scorpion-tailed Wolf. Instead of clearing the battlefield, they had come toward him, and he spoke flatly.
"Heh heh!"
"Little brother, help us all the way!"
"Help us..."
Before Old Third Yue could finish speaking, Jiang Fan had already exerted his strength first and lunged forward with lightning speed.
At the same time, he clenched his right fist. The blood and energy throughout his body erupted to the extreme, and he slammed his fist forward.
With a dull thud, Old Third Yue's back bulged.
Old Third Yue was horrified. He had never expected this young man to be a trained fighter. That punch had been like a heavy hammer, directly smashing his internal organs out of place and causing him unbearable pain.
"You!"
Blood hung at the corner of Old Third Yue's mouth as he prepared to say something.
Jiang Fan had already formed his right hand into a claw. His thumb and index finger clamped around Old Third Yue's neck like iron pincers, then twisted hard!
Crack!
A faint sound rang out, and Old Third Yue toppled to the ground.
He died with his eyes wide open!
Jiang Fan's movements had been incredibly fast. Everything had happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time A Wei and Little Knife reacted, Old Third Yue was already lying on the ground.
The two of them were dumbfounded.
This was definitely a Martial Artist!
They could not understand it. Why had this young man, who looked like a high school student and had been a lamb in their eyes, suddenly become such a powerful Martial Artist?
In the chaos, A Wei hurriedly reached for the woodcutter's knife at his waist.
A little farther away, Little Knife frantically nocked an arrow.
Seeing their movements, Jiang Fan slid his right foot and instantly appeared before A Wei. He struck the top of A Wei's head with one palm, then used the force to soar through the air toward Little Knife.
Little Knife had just nocked his arrow and had not had time to shoot when Jiang Fan substituted his finger for a sword and thrust it straight into Little Knife's throat.
Little Knife froze where he stood, blood spraying from his neck.
After dealing with Little Knife, Jiang Fan did not pause. He turned back and returned to A Wei's side.
A Wei had been struck by Jiang Fan's palm until his head spun and his vision blurred. He had fallen to the ground, and just as he regained his senses, he saw Jiang Fan closing in on him. His soul nearly left his body.
"Brother, brother, listen to me!"
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Can you spare me?"
Jiang Fan picked up the woodcutter's knife that had just been sent flying and casually threw it.
The knife plunged into A Wei's heart.
"You were wrong!"
"You have to pay the price!"
Jiang Fan spoke indifferently.
A Wei wanted to say something else, but the moment he opened his mouth, blood gurgled out.
He stretched out a hand, then it suddenly fell. His body slowly slumped to the ground!
Jiang Fan glanced at the others, bent down, picked up the water flask A Wei carried, and leisurely washed his hands.
He felt no psychological burden whatsoever after killing these people!
Whoever tried to kill him, he would kill in return!
It was only right and proper!
Moreover, these people were all utterly vicious criminals!
On the way to Phoenix Mountain just now, he had easily inferred from their conversation that this was definitely not the first time they had done something like this!
The way everyone in the Monstrous Beast trading market avoided them like the plague said it all!
Therefore, he could also be said to have rid the people of a menace!
After washing his hands, Jiang Fan casually wiped them on A Wei's clothes.
Then he searched the corpses and pulled out a map, along with the gasoline from Little Knife.
Next, he turned and came to the trap. He dragged the Scorpion-tailed Wolf out of it, then threw the corpses into the trap.
After finishing this, Jiang Fan pulled the stopper from the gasoline bottle, frowned as he sniffed it, then turned the bottle upside down and poured the gasoline over the corpses.
The fire lit when they had set up the trap was nearly extinguished by the fighting.
Jiang Fan walked over, picked up a piece of firewood still carrying sparks, and flicked it with his finger. The firewood fell into the trap.
In an instant, roaring flames surged up inside the trap!
Jiang Fan let out a cold laugh.
These people were truly guilty of monstrous crimes!
Only now did he truly understand why Old Third Yue and the others had taken the gasoline from the vehicle.
Clearly, they often used this barrel of gasoline to destroy corpses and erase all traces!
It was just a pity that this time, it had been used on themselves!
By the firelight, Jiang Fan picked up the map he had taken from Old Third Yue and studied it carefully!
At this point, he was already nearly entering the heart of Phoenix Mountain, at the innermost area of the outskirts.
If he wanted to leave...
He had to head in that direction!
After studying it for a long while, Jiang Fan determined the direction out of Phoenix Mountain.
Although he was already a First-level Martial Artist, Phoenix Mountain was full of danger, and he did not dare stay here any longer!
Although the Scorpion-tailed Wolf he had hunted this time was a low-level Monstrous Beast, it could still be worth tens of thousands of Blue Star Coins, enough to solve his immediate crisis.
By then, the sky had gone completely dark.
With the Scorpion-tailed Wolf slung over his shoulder, Jiang Fan headed toward the outskirts.
As he walked, he felt a pang of regret.
When he had just hunted the Scorpion-tailed Wolf, Old Third Yue and the others had acted too quickly. Before he had been able to harvest its remaining health, the Scorpion-tailed Wolf had already been killed by their arrows.
Otherwise, he could have exploited a bug and used the Mysterious Seal to absorb some Life Energy.
Woo woo!
The wind swept through the valley, as if someone were whispering beside his ear.
Jiang Fan did not stop. He ran forward at full speed!
After advancing to become a Martial Artist, his blood and energy had grown powerful. With the Scorpion-tailed Wolf on his shoulder, his speed was not affected in the slightest.
Crack!
The sound of a branch breaking underfoot rang out, and Jiang Fan abruptly stopped, instantly on guard.
After confirming that the noise had come from the branch beneath his foot, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Although he had grown accustomed to harvesting the remaining health of Monstrous Beasts at night in the dense forest west of River City, that place was, after all, on the outskirts of River City, where the City Guard and patrol teams cleared the area every day.
Even if a Monstrous Beast occasionally appeared, it would soon be dealt with!
But Phoenix Mountain was different from the dense forest outside River City!
This place was where the surrounding Monstrous Beasts hid after their living space had been squeezed away!
In terms of danger, it was far beyond anything the dense forest outside River City could compare with.
It was said that Fourth-level Monstrous Beasts had once appeared here!
A Fourth-level Monstrous Beast was nearly at the pinnacle of River City's combat power. Even the Fifth-level president of the Martial Arts Association might find it rather difficult to deal with one.
For a mere First-level Martial Artist like him, a newcomer visiting Phoenix Mountain for the first time, encountering one meant nothing but certain death!
Fortunately, Phoenix Mountain also had territories divided among its inhabitants.
Those high-level Monstrous Beasts were all in the heart of Phoenix Mountain.
As long as he remained in the outskirts and did not venture too deeply, there generally would not be much danger.
Jiang Fan ran faster and faster, the trees around him retreating rapidly like mountain ranges.
Suddenly, he abruptly stopped!
The surroundings... had become foggy!
Jiang Fan surveyed the area around him. The fog before his eyes was viscous like flowing water, making his vision increasingly limited.
In the darkness, he seemed to feel a pair of eyes watching him.
Thinking of a certain possibility, cold sweat instantly seeped from Jiang Fan's forehead!
