Chen Wenhua, trembling in the crowd, kept backing away, trying to minimize his presence.
Thinking of Jiang Fan's brutal killing of the Two Star demon beast, and then of what she had done to the Tang Family, large beads of cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on her pale face.
The door opened, Jiang Fan stepped inside first.
The entire shelter fell silent, all eyes fixed on Jiang Fan.
Some admired, some were filled with lingering fear, and some felt regret; their expressions varied.
Tang Guo rushed towards Jiang Fan, hugged his leg, and her eyes sparkled.
" Brother Fan, I knew you would come to save us!"
Jiang Fan habitually patted the little guy's head and said, "Yes, I will definitely save you, no matter when or where."
These were Jiang Fan's true feelings. From the moment he was reborn, even when he was just a useless person with only 19N of Qi and Blood, he made up his mind that he would never let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself!
Suddenly, Tang Guo thought of something, her face changed, and she pointed at Jiang Youtian.
" Brother Fan, my parents and I were chased by a monster to the gate of the shelter, but it didn't care about our lives and closed the gate, refusing to let us in! If Captain Yang and the others hadn't appeared in time to save us, we would have been eaten by the monster!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's originally gentle and doting gaze suddenly changed, turning murderous as he looked at Jiang Youtian.
Just that one glance was enough to make Jiang Youtian's legs go weak, and he stumbled backward.
Jiang Fan recalled his past life, in which Jiang Youtian used him as a shield to save his own life, ultimately leading to his death in the jaws of a demon beast.
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Jiang Fan's eyes grew even more intense.
She lifted her foot and walked towards Jiang Youtian, each step feeling icy cold.
Jiang Youtian was so frightened that he staggered backward and fell to the ground.
He stared in horror at Jiang Fan, who had walked up to him and was looking down at him.
"Jiang... Fan, what do you want to do? In front of everyone, you want to... you want to kill me?"
"They are your own parents and your own sister! How could you do such a beastly thing? You deserve to die!" Jiang Fan gripped the knife handle tightly, making it creak.
Seeing this, Jiang Youtian knew that Jiang Fan was truly determined to kill him.
"You—you don't really want to kill me, do you? Jiang Fan, how dare you! I am your adoptive parents' biological son. No matter how rebellious or beastly I am, I am still connected to them by blood. You're killing me in front of them? Aren't you afraid they'll blame you? Even if they don't blame you, aren't you afraid they'll be heartbroken? You're a filial son; you can't do such a thing!"
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you threatening me?"
As he finished speaking, he raised his knife and held it against Jiang Youtian's throat.
At that moment, Jiang Youtian felt as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.
Tang Fugui sighed heavily, turned his face away, and refused to read any further.
Wang Shuqin's eyes were red. She moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing and turned her face away, just like Tang Fugui.
The two sisters Tang Guo and Tang Duo, exchanged a glance, then looked at Jiang Fan with eyes full of heartache, understanding his predicament and situation.
"I'm threatening you, what can you do about it? Come on, if you've got the guts, then do it! I'll stick out my neck for you to chop, if you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll admit you're tough!" Jiang Youtian said as he stuck out his neck, looking completely fearless.
Jiang Fan's already slightly narrowed pupils narrowed to slits, revealing a murderous intent within, and he gripped the hilt of his knife even tighter.
Seeing that Jiang Fan hadn't made a move for a long time, Jiang Youtian burst into smug laughter.
"Hahaha! Jiang Fan, I knew you wouldn't dare to make a move!"
At this moment, Lan Shengxue walked over, looked at Jiang Fan's profile, and said calmly.
"If it's inconvenient for you to do it yourself, I'll do it for you. Consider it repayment for saving me before."
To repay a life-saving debt?
Jiang Fan was somewhat bewildered. He had indeed saved Lan Shengxue in the Inner Wilderness Zone, but at that time he was Tang Fan.
Suddenly, Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be--
Did Lan Shengxue guess her identity?
When Lan Shengxue met his eyes, the girl's gaze was as cold as ice, fixed on him.
From that unwavering gaze, Jiang Fan was basically certain of his guess.
Jiang Youtian's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg as he stared at Lan Shengxue with disbelief.
" Shengxue, you—you're going to kill me? You're going to kill me for Jiang Fan?"
Lan Shengxue's cold eyes flickered, and with a swift movement, a spurt of blood shot from Jiang Youtian's mouth.
Jiang Youtian clutched his bleeding mouth, his trembling pupils filled with terror.
"I told you, you're not allowed to call me Shengxue," Lan Shengxue said expressionlessly. "If there's a next time, I'll cut your tongue out, do you hear me?"
Jiang Youtian nodded vigorously, while covering his mouth with both hands, afraid that Lan Shengxue would cut off his tongue at any moment.
Lan Shengxue looked at Jiang Fan again, "Now that he can't speak for the time being, it'll give you some peace and quiet."
"Thank you." Jiang Fan nodded.
Lan Shengxue sheathed her knife and smiled slightly. "It's what I should do."
Seeing the smile on the goddess's face, and watching the interaction between the goddess and Jiang Fan, Jiang Youtian's jealousy burned to its extreme. But facing either of them, he could easily kill them.
Jiang Fan! Jiang Fan!! Jiang Fan!!! One day, I will make you suffer a terrible death, leaving you without a complete corpse! Not even a bone or a drop of blood will be left behind!
Jiang Qifeng and the others came over and helped Jiang Youtian up.
" Youtian, are you alright?"
Jiang Youtian covered his mouth, which was cut open, and dared not move or utter a sound.
"I'll take you to stop the bleeding and get bandaged." After saying this, Jiang Qifeng's complicated gaze fell on Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan just looked at him indifferently, without a ripple in his eyes, as if he were looking at a stranger.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qifeng's words, which had been brewing in his heart, were stuck in his throat.
He was deeply shocked when he saw Jiang Fan kill the ferocious Four-Armed Giant Bear single-handedly, and the boundless regret he felt was incomparable to the scene when he witnessed Jiang Fan becoming the champion of the martial arts examination.
He once told Jiang Youtian that Jiang Fan had gotten lucky to achieve such success, and that he might not be so lucky in the future. He also urged Jiang Youtian to work hard and strive to surpass Jiang Fan in the martial arts school, saying that it wasn't impossible.
Now, he has completely abandoned this absurd idea.
With the strength of Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist, he was able to kill the Four-Armed Giant Bear without sustaining a scratch. With such strength and talent, even ten Jiang Youtian wouldn't be enough to overwhelm him.
