Chapter 1235: Hostage Yi Tuo

"Xiao Fan, you… let me go…"

Long Miaoyin was crying bitterly, her beautiful Face filled with urgency and worry…

If Xiao Fan let her go now…

And let her use herself as leverage, she might even be able to force Yi Batian back, making him wary and afraid to act rashly.

But Xiao Fan actually refused.

How could this be okay?

"Don't worry, I won't die… That old dog wants to kill me? In his dreams!" Xiao Fan smiled and patted Long Miaoyin's head.

Yi Batian, who originally had a cold sneer on his Face,

Felt his Face twitch upon hearing Xiao Fan's words.

Did he look down on him that much?

To call him an old dog right to his Face!!

"Damn you!!" Yi Batian cursed angrily, just as he was about to strike.

But Ye Cang moved first, his figure appearing in front of Xiao Fan and Long Miaoyin in the next instant.

He didn't attack Xiao Fan…

Partly because of Long Miaoyin.

And partly because his opinion of Xiao Fan had truly changed from the bottom of his heart.

"Give her to me," Ye Cang said calmly.

Xiao Fan nodded, holding Long Miaoyin by the wrist and handing her over to Ye Cang!

If Ye Cang wanted to…

Since Long Miaoyin was currently under a Seal, he could easily take her back by force!

But he knew he couldn't do that!

If he did, a massive rift would surely form between him and his granddaughter!

It would be one thing if Xiao Fan survived, but if he died… that rift could never be mended for the rest of their lives!

It might even lead Long Miaoyin to continue attempting suicide in the future!

"No, I don't want to… Grandfather, don't take me away!"

"Xiao Fan, no, don't… I want to be with you, even if I die!"

"Grandfather… please save him, I beg you to save him, I don't want him to die!!"

"…"

Long Miaoyin cried and screamed, her tears never stopping for a moment.

Did Ye Cang's heart ache?

That was certain.

But he couldn't just intervene as he pleased…

After bringing Long Miaoyin to his side, a hideous smile appeared on Yi Batian's Face in the distance.

As long as Ye Cang left,

He would immediately strike… subdue this Little Beast, and then rescue his grandson!

But then, he heard Ye Cang say, "Xiao Fan… I'll give you one more chance. Release Yi Tuo… and I will guarantee your safety!"

The countless people nearby were in an uproar…

Yi Batian was right here.

Yet Ye Cang actually said such a thing!

Doesn't this mean Ye Cang isn't giving Yi Batian any Face at all?

Xiao Fan was also stunned upon hearing this.

He clearly hadn't expected that at a time like this, Ye Cang would still ask such a question.

Furthermore, he could hear that the other party was sincere!

"Xiao Fan!! Promise my grandfather, release Yi Tuo!!" Long Miaoyin shouted urgently.

Deep gratitude toward Ye Cang welled up in her heart.

She was no longer the naive young girl she once was.

After coming to the Heavenly God Palace, she knew how complex the situation here was.

To say he would protect the enemy of his rival right in front of Yi Batian… how much pressure must her grandfather be under!!!

Yi Batian didn't say a word, but the Killing Intent radiating from him said everything!

Capturing his grandson alive!

Insulting him in public!

And being all lovey-dovey with his prospective granddaughter-in-law…

Any one of these was enough for him to kill Xiao Fan ten thousand times over to vent his anger!!!

And yet… Ye Cang actually said that as long as the boy handed over Yi Tuo, he would protect him.

Did he even take Yi Batian seriously?

Although in terms of strength, Yi Batian was a step behind Ye Cang…

He was still the second strongest of the Human Race!

One of the vital pillars of the Human Race!!

"I'm sorry… thank you for the kind offer, but Yi Tuo cannot be released!"

Xiao Fan said in a heavy voice, rejecting Ye Cang once again.

"Why, why… Xiao Fan, listen to me, let him go!!" Long Miaoyin cried, her voice breaking.

She understood Xiao Fan's character very well…

Back in Jingchuan City, when he was kicked out of the Xiao Family.

Later, Xiao Fan defeated her brother Long Xiaotian on the Arena.

Then he defeated the Immortal Palace Disciples…

And even later, he turned Xiao Tian into a cripple!

He was stubborn to the bone, refusing to admit defeat…

Once he set his mind on something, he never changed it…

But now, Xiao Fan might lose his life because of this very stubbornness.

"Xiao Fan, no, don't!" Long Miaoyin wept, repeatedly trying to break free from the Seal, but it was completely useless.

"Then, you're on your own…"

Ye Cang sighed.

This time, he didn't get angry because of Xiao Fan's refusal.

Instead, he felt even more admiration for this young fellow!

"Thank you… Senior, please take good care of Miaoyin for me…"

Xiao Fan bowed deeply to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang nodded and vanished in an instant…

"Brat, go to hell!!!"

And at the very moment Ye Cang left,

Yi Batian erupted, his blood-colored Killing Intent piercing the heavens as he charged toward Xiao Fan!

Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed; he knew that as soon as Ye Cang left…

Yi Batian would definitely launch a sudden attack!

Xiao Fan didn't move away; instead, he slapped his spirit beast bag and released Yi Tuo first.

At this moment, Yi Tuo was in a wretched state, his flesh mangled and bloody; he had long since lost any semblance of a human!

Xiao Fan immediately activated the Azure Flame Art, channeling the Chixiao Demon Flame from within his body to envelop Yi Tuo…

"Dare to come closer, and I'll kill him!"
