Chapter 222: The Terrifying Woman

"Who goes there!"

The group of Outer Sect Disciples froze, all turning around in unison.

Who could possibly appear behind them without making a sound?

Then, when they saw that the person who spoke was wearing white robes with one arm…

Everyone's expression changed.

Revealing undisguised terror…

"Xiao… Xiao Fan…"

"Xiao… The Terror!"

"My god, how could it be him!"

"…"

Xiao Fan's reputation in the Outer Sect was currently immense; he had fought a Tongtian Realm deacon while in the Huaqi Realm and had actually won!

Xiao Fan scanned the crowd, rubbing his chin without rushing to speak.

The man leading the group opposite him realized something was wrong at this moment…

"Is this a trap? You designed this to lure us here!"

His face turned livid, and upon hearing his words, the people around him also changed color drastically.

Xiao Fan gave a wry smile: "That's right, it was indeed me who set the bait. Since you've all figured it out, well… it's time to end this!"

Xiao Fan's figure vanished like a ghost…

The dozen or so Disciples opposite him were greatly alarmed.

"Watch out…"

Everyone pulled out their respective Magical Artifacts, preparing for battle, however…

Xiao Fan's strength was like heaven and earth compared to theirs; these people couldn't even put up a resistance.

As soon as they clashed… in less than ten breaths, half of them had already fallen to the ground…

The remaining people saw this and turned to run, but in the face of absolute crushing strength, everything was futile.

A moment later, everyone was on the ground. This time, Xiao Fan was a bit ruthless, knocking them all unconscious.

Qiao Rong, standing to the side, was dumbfounded…

This was her first time seeing Xiao Fan fight firsthand; she hadn't expected him to be so brutal.

Those were more than a dozen Outer Sect Disciples, and there was even a Half-step Tongtian Realm expert among them.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, Qiao Rong saw that Half-step Tongtian Realm expert get hit in the abdomen by Xiao Fan's punch, coughing up a mouthful of blood… and that was the end of it.

This was too strong. Just what kind of strength did one need to achieve this!!

Xiao Fan skillfully rummaged through these people's Storage Pouches and took out their tokens.

"Whoosh."

His figure arrived in front of Qiao Rong, and he tossed two tokens to her.

"This is your share."

Xiao Fan's expression was calm, and he didn't have a single injury on him.

Actually, this way of distributing tokens was quite unfair; after all, without crushing them, one wouldn't know how many points were on the other party's tokens.

However, Xiao Fan didn't care about that for the sake of convenience; his plan was to rob anyone he saw anyway.

Besides, having Qiao Rong's cooperation made it even faster.

After Qiao Rong took the tokens, she was somewhat dazed…

She hadn't expected to obtain two tokens so smoothly!

Xiao Fan was puzzled. He glanced at her, thought for a moment, and asked: "You are very smart. I think you should know that since you are cooperating with me like this, even if they don't know you and I are putting on an act now, what about when you go out? Aren't you afraid of being retaliated against by them?"

This woman, Qiao Rong, gave Xiao Fan a strange feeling.

She acted weak when she was with Cui Lang.

When Cui Lang was eliminated, she betrayed the stronghold of Yi Liangping and the others, wanting to follow him.

Later, she came up with this idea, using herself as bait to cooperate with him in setting the trap.

And for such a smart woman, Xiao Fan didn't believe she didn't know the consequences of doing this.

Qiao Rong was dazed for a moment, then smiled lightly: "I have indeed thought about it."

"If the number of people we rob while together with you is small, there won't be any issues when we go out. If we rob many…"

She paused here, then continued: "If it's enough for me to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, then I naturally won't stay in the Outer Sect, so why worry about these things?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fan took another look at the woman in front of him.

Her thinking was terrifyingly clear, and she left him unable to find any reason to refute her.

Indeed, if Qiao Rong were finally promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple, why would she need to care about mere Outer Sect Disciples?

Of course, she wouldn't care.

And if she failed, she would have to bear the consequences; he estimated that she had considered this very clearly as well.

"Do you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that after I use you, I'll just rob you too?"

Xiao Fan asked with a look that was half-smile.

Qiao Rong looked deeply at Xiao Fan and smiled: "You won't… If you did that, I would just assume I misjudged you."

Xiao Fan: "…"

Xiao Fan couldn't help but admire this woman a little.

Many things he hadn't thought of before, yet this woman had actually thought so far ahead.

Moreover, there was a gambler's courage about her, one he seemed to have seen somewhere before.

In short, at this moment, the feeling she gave Xiao Fan was that this woman was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Just at this moment, several more auras were rapidly approaching from outside the surrounding forest.

And faint sounds of their discussion could be heard.

"Could it be over already…"

"It's possible, after all, it's been so long."

"…"

Xiao Fan and Qiao Rong exchanged glances, and they hurriedly crushed the tokens in their hands. A flash of light appeared, teleporting those dozen or so Outer Sect Disciples away.

And Xiao Fan's figure vanished once again…

Qiao Rong took a deep breath, then screamed at the top of her lungs: "Help… someone save me!"
