Although it only slightly penetrates the skin, the sensation of being both hot and cold is not pleasant.

In an instant, a layer of frost formed on Li Zhong's face. The next second, the frost was engulfed by the flames, and then frost formed again.

As Martial Artist at the Early-Stage Fourth Rank, how could Li Zhong not recognize that the thing embedded in the blade and into his skin was the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines?

However, he had only ever seen such a rare treasure in pictures. Ice Flame Hedgehog are extremely rare, and even if you encounter one, they are very cunning and difficult to catch.

He couldn't understand how Jiang Fan, a freshman in college, could possess such a rare and precious item!

What he couldn't understand even more was how those fine, hair-like Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines managed to sneak up behind him and launch a surprise attack.

Before he could figure it out, he watched helplessly as those Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, continuing to pierce into his body.

this!

Li Zhong seemed to have finally thought of something, and suddenly looked at Jiang Fan, only to see Jiang Fan standing there with a mysterious glint in his eyes.

Spirit Master!

Jiang Fan is Spirit Master!

Oh my god!

At this moment, Li Zhong finally understood, and at the same time, a storm raged in his heart!

What puzzled him was, if Jiang Fan Spirit Master, why had he been hiding it all this time?

"Thump!"

Li Zhichao plopped down on the ground, whether from fright or shock, it was hard to tell.

When they first met Jiang Fan, they only regarded him as a somewhat talented but naive young man.

Later, during the freshman trials, watching Jiang Fan shoot arrows with perfect accuracy, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Later, when he witnessed Jiang Fan's Soul Threshold test result exceed the maximum reading, he was so jealous he wanted to kill someone.

So he took action.

There was an unexpected surprise.

It was more of a shock than a surprise.

He never imagined that Jiang Fan would be a rare Spirit Master!

"Ah!"

Li Zhong roared and tried to pull the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines out of his body.

Jiang Fan continued to control his Psychic Power to stop Li Zhong's actions.

A back-and-forth struggle ensued.

After a tug-of-war lasting for more than ten seconds, dozens of Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines shot into Li Zhong's head, back, and feet.

Li Zhong attention was entirely focused on what was in front of him, had no time to prepare and died silently.

It's not that Li Zhong was caught off guard; Jiang Fan's series of maneuvers caught him off guard.

For example, from the very beginning, Jiang Fan deliberately did not use his Psychic Power, and fought fiercely with Li Zhong, making the opponent mistakenly believe that he was at his wit's end.

Then, while the opponent is charging up their ultimate attack, launch a surprise attack.

In the end, he fought Li Zhong to the death with those few Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines, making Li Zhong mistakenly believe that he only had those few.

As the tug-of-war intensified, he quietly split the remaining Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines into three routes: one from the sky, one from behind, and one buried in the ground, all aimed at the soles of Li Zhong's feet.

Seeing Li Zhong, who was beyond dead, Jiang Fan withdrew the Ice Flame Hedgehog Spines that had entered his body and used his Psychic Power to cut the ropes binding Tang Duo.

Tang Duo rushed over and felt a pang of heartache seeing Jiang Fan covered in blood.

How are you?

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Jiang Fan took out a Body Restoration Pill from his spatial ring and swallowed it. In just a few breaths, his wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next second, his gaze suddenly fell on Li Zhichao.

Do you have any last words?

"Gulp!"

Li Zhichao swallowed hard, barely managing to calm down a little from his initial shock.

"Since you're Spirit Master, why did you hide it? If you had just said so, I wouldn't have attacked you!"

Jiang Fan looked innocent and spoke in the most ordinary tone, uttering shocking words.

"This isn't my fault. The commander of the Divine Wind Camp ordered me not to tell anyone, and I dared not disobey his orders."

"God—God God, Divine Wind Camp Commander!"

Li Zhichao almost bit his tongue.

"That's right, it was Yan Shuai the Divine Wind Camp who gave the order."

At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Jiang Fan's lips.

"Didn't you just say that your Li Family is an extraordinary family in Fortress No. 1? How does that compare to the Divine Wind Camp?"

Li Zhichao didn't dare to reply at all!

"Judging from your frightened appearance, it seems that the so-called Li Family you speak of is far less powerful than my backing."

Jiang Fan laughed, a laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

"You're lying to me! I don't believe you! If you really had a connection with the commander of the Divine Wind Camp, why didn't you join the Shenwu, but instead joined the Yuanwu?!" Li Zhichao roared ferociously.

You'll probably never know the answer to that.

Jiang Fan didn't waste any more words with Li Zhichao and easily ended his life.

" Xiao Fan, what should we do next? What if the Li Family investigates and it comes back to you..." Tang Duo was extremely worried.

"That depends on whether they can find it."

After saying that, Jiang Fan used his Psychic Power to dig a pit more than a thousand meters deep on the spot. At present, his Psychic Power can only cover this extent, but it is more than enough.

After all, who could have imagined that the bodies of Li Zhichao and the others would be buried more than a thousand meters deep?

Besides, so what if they find out? Doesn't he have that Crazy Old Man to back him up?

Of course, he always believes in relying on himself rather than others.

The traces at the scene also need to be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan used his Psychic Power to control the alloy broadsword, slashing left and right, completely destroying the original traces of the fight.

After finishing the task, he clapped his hands.

"Sister Duoduo, it's getting late. Let's go back and have dinner."

Night falls.

The Li Family.

Li Zhichao's father Li Renfeng, paced anxiously back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing someone enter, he immediately asked, "Still haven't found the young master?"

The person who came didn't dare to lift their head, saying, "Not, not yet."

"Useless! You've been searching for hours and still haven't found them! What's the point of keeping a bunch of trash like you?"

If Jiang Fan were standing nearby at this moment, he would surely remark, "Like father, like son," as Li Zhichao and his son said almost exactly the same thing.

Neither Li Man Li Shuan have returned?

Li Renfeng knew that the two of them had been called away by Li Zhichao in the afternoon.

"None of them... have returned."

"Useless! Useless! All of you are useless!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Li Renfeng sent the purple clay teapot on the tea table crashing to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

At this moment, the butler spoke up, "Master, I just learned from the servants that this afternoon, after Li Zhong inquired about the young master calling Li Man and Li Shuan out, he also went out, presumably to look for them. With Li Zhong there, the young master should be fine. Perhaps he just forgot to come home while playing outside."

Hearing that Li Zhong had also gone, Li Renfeng finally felt a little relieved.

At that moment, another servant rushed in, looking flustered.

"Sir, a fight broke out at the demolition site at 312 Qingxi Road, and according to reliable sources nearby, they saw the young master in the area."
