"Unless you possess an overwhelming attack method that allows you to kill me quickly and undetected, relying solely on those massive Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros is absolutely impossible!"
Li Renfeng became increasingly smug as he spoke, slowly standing up while leaning against the wall, completely disregarding Jiang Fan.
However--
The next second, his knees, which he had just straightened, were suddenly pressed down by the pressure, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground, cracking the floorboards.
Sneak attack?
Were there other people in the private room?
He looked around sharply, but couldn't see a single person.
Although he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, he had no time to think about it in the face of the current situation. He was seriously injured and needed to take the Body Restoration Pill immediately.
But as soon as he took out the Body Restoration Pill, the pill flew out of his hand like a wild horse.
This is?!
Li Renfeng's gaze instinctively followed, and in less than a breath, he saw the flying Body Restoration Pill land steadily in Jiang Fan's hand.
Upon seeing this, Li Renfeng's mind went completely blank.
Immediately, an overwhelming sense of terror swept in!
"You, you're a psychic— Spirit Master? How could that be? How could you possibly be Spirit Master!"
Li Renfeng spoke in a panic, though he didn't believe it a thousand times over, the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe.
Especially after meeting Jiang Fan's calm and unwavering eyes, he finally understood where Jiang Fan got his confidence from. He dared to come to him alone and remained fearless throughout.
"Jiang, Jiang Fan, we have never had any life-or-death hatred, there's no need for us to fight to the death. As for the matter of following your family, they are still safe and sound, there's still room for maneuver. How about this, you name your conditions, and as long as it's within the Li Family's power, we will definitely do it for you."
Jiang Fan had only shown a small part of his skill; he hadn't revealed that he was Advanced Psychic.
Therefore, in Li Renfeng's opinion, given Jiang Fan's age, there was no other possibility than that Junior Psychic.
Moreover, Jiang Fan, as a Junior Psychic, likely awakened his abilities recently and hasn't had a suitable opportunity to reveal them yet.
Otherwise, it would have caused a sensation throughout Fortress No. 1, no, it would have caused a sensation throughout the entire Huaxia.
Even though Jiang Fan was just a newly awakened Spirit Master, Li Renfeng didn't dare to make an enemy of him casually.
It wasn't that he particularly valued talent, nor that he deeply respected Spirit Master; it was simply that he couldn't defeat Jiang Fan.
If Jiang Fan were to publicly acknowledge his grudge against him afterward, the Li Family would inevitably be isolated by the entire Martial Artist community.
If this continues, the Li Family will inevitably decline and perish.
And he believes the process will be quite fast!
Jiang Fan covered his face with his palm, and the Body Restoration Pill was stored in his spatial ring.
You're wrong.
"What? What's wrong?" Li Renfeng looked at Jiang Fan with a puzzled expression.
"You're wrong to say we have no deep-seated hatred for each other," Jiang Fan said.
Li Renfeng thought Jiang Fan was still referring to the Tang Family. Just as he was about to speak up to defend himself, Jiang Fan's devilish words exploded in his ears.
"I killed Li Zhichao."
One sentence made Li Renfeng's brain buzz. As he watched Jiang Fan's eyes gradually become bloodshot, his anger burned brighter and brighter until it was completely out of control.
"You—you—I'll kill you!"
Li Renfeng roared and charged towards Jiang Fan without regard for anything else.
He seemed to have completely lost his mind, but in reality, he had a plan in mind.
As long as you eliminate Jiang Fan before he summons the demonic beast and then destroy the evidence, who would know that you killed Jiang Fan yourself?
Besides, the fact that Jiang Fan Spirit Master hasn't been exposed yet, so the sensation it's caused shouldn't be that exaggerated.
These thoughts, coming one after another, are but a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, Li Renfeng had pounced on Jiang Fan and launched a fierce attack.
Just when he thought he was about to succeed, a "whoosh" sound made him stop abruptly.
He stood still, slowly lowered his head, and looked at himself.
His pupils trembled violently when he saw the Spirit Weapon that had pierced his heart.
Shock, resentment, fear... a jumble of thoughts filled Li Renfeng's mind.
He was shocked.
Why would Jiang Fan, a nobody from Fortress No. 31, possess such a rare treasure as Spirit Weapon?
He was unwilling to accept it.
Because he failed to avenge his beloved son.
He was afraid,
Feeling life slipping away, he seemed to see a soul-reaping messenger from hell beckoning to him.
No, he didn't want to die! He hadn't had enough of the world's splendor, or his powerful position...
Li Renfeng tried to open his mouth wide as if to say something, but as soon as he opened it, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then he vomited several more mouthfuls of blood.
"It's getting late, shall I take you to reunite with your son?"
Jiang Fan spoke expressionlessly, his voice unusually calm, as if he were not sentencing someone to death, but rather chatting about something as mundane as "the weather is nice today."
No, I don't want to—
Li Renfeng managed to squeeze out a few words, but suddenly his body sank as if he had fallen into an abyss, sinking more than 10,000 meters underground.
Standing there stiffly, feeling my breath and heartbeat growing weaker and weaker, I slowly ended my life in boundless fear and despair.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have killed a villain and done a good deed. Your points have increased by 30.]
After doing all this, Jiang Fan left as if nothing had happened, without anyone noticing.
The next morning, Boss Liu discovered that in the private room next door, apart from his wife lying behind the sofa, there was no trace of Li Renfeng, only a patch of dried blood on the floor.
In fact, Jiang Fan noticed it before he left; you could say he deliberately stayed behind.
The purpose was to let the Li Family know that Li Renfeng was in trouble, so as to divert attention from dealing with his family and concentrate efforts on finding the whereabouts of the Li Renfeng.
Of course, the reason he did this was because Li Renfeng's father, Li Yanhe, who was the current head of the Li Family, had a strength of the Early-Stage Sixth Rank.
He is currently only at the Early-Stage Third Rank, so the Li Family naturally wouldn't suspect him, which fulfills the condition of diverting attention.
The next morning.
The private room was in complete chaos.
As soon as Boss Liu saw his wife wake up, he immediately and anxiously asked her what had happened.
The woman told him that someone had knocked her unconscious, and he didn't know what happened after that.
Later, blood samples were taken from the pool of blood on the ground for DNA comparison, and the victim was confirmed to be Li Renfeng.
Upon receiving the news, Li Yanhe, and upon waking up, he rushed over like a madman.
Upon seeing the dried bloodstain on the ground, his bloodshot old eyes nearly bled.
"What the hell are you all standing here for? Go find him! If you don't find my son, none of you are coming back!"
It's unclear how much time passed before Li Yanhe gradually calmed down.
The pool of blood on the ground doesn't prove his son is dead; he might have just been seriously injured in the fight.
These are not the main points.
The key question is: who is the murderer?
