Blood Sprayed Five Steps, Slaughter Unleashed!

After his qi and blood had grown vigorous, Chu Fan, dressed in such thin clothes, did not feel particularly cold.

The night had deepened.

The wind and snow were fierce.

There was hardly a person in sight along the road.

Chu Fan followed the four men all the way to the outside of Liu Family Courtyard.

Pressing himself against the thick trunk of the old locust tree outside Liu Family Courtyard, he took the black cloth he had asked Aunt Zhang for from his robes and covered his face with it.

The firewood gate of Liu Family Courtyard was ajar.

The two rotten door panels creaked in the wind and snow, like a dying old dog whimpering.

"Damn it, this is really haunted!"

Liu Da's incredulous cursing carried out of the courtyard. "Did you get a clear look just now? Was that person really that little bastard from the Chu Family?"

"That kid couldn't even truss a chicken, so how could he..."

"He looks very similar..." Scarface said in a low voice. "But if it wasn't Chu Fan, who else could it be?"

"Damn it, what the hell is going on!" Fourth Brother grumbled furiously. "Half a month ago, I beat him and he couldn't fight back at all. How did he disappear for half a month and return with such skills?"

In the corner, the short man had become a scapegoat. Liu Da and the other two had already beaten and kicked him until his face was swollen and bruised. Now, he was curled up in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

Holding his breath, Chu Fan climbed the old locust tree. After peering into the courtyard for a moment, he leaped down and lightly landed inside.

The howling cold wind covered the slight noise he made.

The four men inside the house noticed nothing.

Chu Fan quietly approached the window. A small hole had formed in the frost-covered window paper, just large enough for him to see the back of Liu Da's head gleaming with oil beneath the lamplight.

The short man who had brought the warning desperately wanted to leave, but he did not dare. He merely curled up in the corner and trembled.

Before long...

The man with the scar on his face rose to his feet. "I'm going to the latrine... Damn, that kid's punches are so heavy. I feel like I was struck twice by a sledgehammer!"

Outside the house...

Chu Fan pressed himself against the corner of the wall and reached the turn leading to the latrine, his entire body vanishing into the shadows.

He slowly drew the Cleaving Knife from his waist, tightening his fingers around the hilt.

Scarface's footsteps approached one step at a time.

Just as he leaned against the wall and staggered to the corner...

A flash of saber light streaked through the darkness!

Sssht!

Scarface's eyes bulged as he clutched his neck with both hands!

Fresh blood seeped between his fingers...

Scarface tried to speak, but only strange "gah, gah" sounds came from his throat.

His left hand reached toward Chu Fan, who had already retreated, as if he wanted to grab something. In the end, he caught nothing, and his body slowly collapsed into the snow.

Chu Fan lowered his head for a closer look. Scarface's neck had been cleaved more than halfway through, with only a little flesh still connecting it to his body.

An ordinary man's neck was ultimately no match for wood frozen stiff.

He could split that kind of wood with a single stroke, effortlessly. What chance did a human neck have?

Chu Fan bent down, took hold of the Cleaving Knife, and wiped it several times on Scarface's clothes, cleaning off the bloodstains.

From the moment Chopping Wood Saber Technique had appeared on the panel, he had imagined the scene of killing someone today countless times...

He had thought that when he acted, he would feel nervous and afraid.

Yet he had never imagined that at this very moment, his heart would be filled with nothing but excitement!

And besides excitement, there was even a trace of indescribable longing!

How could this be...

I was a law-abiding citizen.

Chu Fan took a deep breath, carried the Cleaving Knife, and returned to the window.

Inside the house, Liu Da was growing restless. "Did Third Brother fall into the latrine? Why hasn't he come back after so long?"

"Fourth Brother, go to the apothecary later and buy some poison..."

"Call Second Brother over tomorrow."

"I refuse to believe it... If I don't kill that kid Chu Fan, I swear I won't be a man!"

"...Oh." Fourth Brother looked at Liu Da resentfully.

Big Brother wants me to buy poison, but he isn't giving me any money. Sigh.

Chu Fan circled around to the entrance and stood there for three breaths before gently pushing open the wooden door.

The three men inside assumed it was Scarface entering and paid no attention.

Liu Da, who was facing the door, instinctively raised a hand, intending to call "Scarface" back for a drink. To his astonishment, the person who entered was a mysterious Masked Man...

Before he could react, Chu Fan darted to the right like a ghost!

Whoosh!

The Cleaving Knife let out a ripping sound as it cut through the air and slashed across Fourth Brother's neck!

A head flew high into the air, then dropped to the ground with a thud and rolled to a stop before the short man.

"..."

The short man lowered his head and stared at Fourth Brother's wide-open eyes. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Shit!"

Liu Da was scared out of his wits. He raised his hand and flipped the table toward Chu Fan!

Chu Fan had expected it. With Kite Form Movement Technique, he simply sidestepped to the left, then swiftly spun around, easily avoiding both the table and the wine and dishes flying from it.

Liu Da's reactions were also extremely fast. After flipping the table, he reached his right hand beneath the windowsill behind him and actually pulled out a large saber!

"Who are you? How dare you kill me!"

Liu Da gripped the large saber with both hands, trembling nonstop. Though fierce in appearance, he was inwardly weak. "I work for Young Master Huang Yu of the Blood Saber Sect. If you kill me, Young Master Huang will never spare you!"

"Huang Yu?" Chu Fan said, carrying the Cleaving Knife as he advanced two steps.

Liu Da's eyes darted about, repeatedly glancing toward the door.

But at that moment...

Chu Fan snatched up the Cleaving Knife and hurled it at him!

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Liu Da quickly turned his head aside.

With a clack, the Cleaving Knife embedded itself in the wall!

At that very instant, Chu Fan activated Bird Platform Form, darting before Liu Da in an instant like a Bald-tailed Eagle swooping down on its prey!

Terror appeared on Liu Da's face. He raised the large saber in his hand, intending to hack forward!

Yet before Chu Fan, his movement seemed to unfold in slow motion...

The instant the large saber had begun to rise, Chu Fan's Bear Form Crushing Fist had already slammed heavily into his chest!

Boom!

Several of Liu Da's ribs snapped. With a miserable grunt, his entire body flew out through the window!

Chu Fan pulled the Cleaving Knife from the wall and swiped it across the neck of the short man, who had just regained consciousness...

The short man did not even manage to scream before following Third Brother and Fourth Brother into death.

Chu Fan leaped through the window and landed in the courtyard.

At that moment, Liu Da had rolled into the snow. Fresh blood gurgled from his mouth. He struggled to rise, but could not get up no matter how hard he tried.

That punch from Chu Fan had not only shattered his ribs but also crushed his heart.

Even without a finishing blow from Chu Fan, he would not survive.

"You... who... are you..."

Liu Da looked at Chu Fan in despair.

But Chu Fan said nothing. He merely bent down, picked up the large saber lying on the ground, gripped the hilt in reverse, and plunged it into Liu Da's chest...

Sssht!

The large saber pierced through Liu Da's body, pinning him dead to the ground.

Chu Fan used the accumulated snow to wipe the blood from the Cleaving Knife. Then he reached into Liu Da's pocket and felt around a few times before pulling out a Money Pouch.

Inside the Money Pouch were several taels' worth of broken silver.

Chu Fan stuffed the Money Pouch into his robes, then went to search the corpses of Scarface and the others.

Scarface and Fourth Brother were fairly well-off. Their Money Pouches were not as full as Liu Da's, but they still contained several taels of broken silver.

But the short man who had brought the warning had only three Copper Coins on him. He was truly so poor that even the coins rattled.

Chu Fan left Liu Da's home and headed southwest.

One more...

That last man lived in a small earthen house nearby!

From the moment he had awakened in this world, he had sworn in his heart that he would not let a single one of these people escape!

Cut them down to the last!

Uproot them completely!
