Chapter 71: Zhu Gang

This little fatty named Zhu Gang did not seem the least bit embarrassed…

He followed right behind Xiao Fan, riding a Yao Beast and chasing desperately.

Xiao Fan was speechless…

He even considered whether he should take action to rob this little fatty, as the other party looked quite wealthy.

But it was just a thought, and he abandoned the idea.

After all, the other party had no grievance with him, and doing so would not align with the Dao.

At this point, Xiao Fan had already traveled half the distance to the Jixian Sect, and he estimated that in a few more days, he would reach the Jixian Sect's sphere of influence.

Previously, he had relied on himself to travel; although his speed was extremely fast in short bursts, when relying on his own abilities to travel, he always adjusted his speed to a moderate pace to maintain his stamina.

But now that he had the Golden-Haired Lion, the travel time was greatly shortened.

The little fatty Zhu Gang followed closely behind, maintaining a distance of less than ten meters from Xiao Fan.

Suddenly, Xiao Fan frowned and patted the Golden-Haired Lion beneath him, signaling it to stop.

Seeing Xiao Fan stop, Zhu Gang behind him also hurriedly stopped and asked, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Fan ignored him, instead looking toward the rear and saying coldly, "Come out. Aren't you tired of following me this whole way?"

"Swish" "Swish" "Swish" "Swish"

Suddenly, four people appeared in front of them, blocking their path, each with a ferocious expression as they looked at Xiao Fan and the other.

"Hehe… kid, your alertness is not bad, to think you actually discovered us." The burly man leading them spoke, and the aura he radiated was that of the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm.

The remaining three revealed auras of the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm.

"Big Brother, let's kill this kid too; this lion mount looks quite good…"

"Hehe… kid, originally this matter had nothing to do with you; we only wanted to kill this little fatty, but since you've discovered us, we can only send you on your way together with him. It'll be good to have company…" the leading burly man sneered.

The four of them each produced their own Magical Artifacts, surrounding Xiao Fan and the other.

The little fatty Zhu Gang retreated two steps: "Are you sent by my stepmother?"

"Hehe… not too stupid." The leader sneered.

Xiao Fan looked back at Zhu Gang, then looked at the four people in front, sighed, and said, "Are you sure you won't let me go?"

"Kid, where did you get so much nonsense? Go to hell!"

One of them struck first; his cultivation was at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm, and he slashed the long blade in his hand toward Xiao Fan's neck.

The aura fluctuation on Xiao Fan was the same as his; both were beings at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm.

They specialized in this kind of killing and looting business; their hands were stained with blood, and they had extremely rich combat experience.

It was not that their own strength was particularly strong among the same rank, but that their attacks were ruthless and vicious!

In the blink of an eye, the long blade was an inch from Xiao Fan, just as the man thought he had succeeded and would see Xiao Fan's blood splatter on the spot in the next moment.

Xiao Fan moved, his figure flashing to dodge the blade.

The burly man attacking with the blade shrank his pupils; he hadn't seen Xiao Fan's movement clearly at all just now.

However, in the next moment, his expression became completely dazed…

Xiao Fan kicked toward his abdomen, giving him no way to dodge…

In an instant, he was sent flying dozens of meters, vomiting blood endlessly…

"What, Fourth Brother!"

"Damn it, brothers, attack!"

Although the remaining three were shocked by the ruthlessness of the young man before them, they did not hesitate and each grabbed their Magical Artifacts and charged up.

The leading burly man among them had a cultivation of the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm and charged the fastest, arriving close in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan patted his Storage Pouch, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

The panlong spear!

The three joined forces to attack; although their Realm was equivalent to Xiao Fan's, their strength compared to Xiao Fan's was on a completely different level.

Only the leading burly man at the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm could barely hold on…

"Puff" "Puff"

In less than a moment, Xiao Fan struck consecutively and killed the two burly men at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm. At this time, only the leading burly man at the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm was barely holding on.

"Damn it!"

The leading burly man cursed in a low voice; who could have imagined that a Cultivator at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm could be so ruthless!

Knowing he was no match, he turned to run.

However, the long spear in Xiao Fan's hand did not let him go, and in the end, he fell into a pool of blood.

After killing this person, Xiao Fan threw the panlong spear in his hand like a javelin at the person he had kicked away earlier.

Struck by the panlong spear, this person died instantly…

Four people, none survived!

The little fatty Zhu Gang on the side was dumbfounded…

He had originally thought he was finished, his mind filled only with thoughts of how to survive.

He never dreamed that this person would be so ruthless, killing three people at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm and one at the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm in an instant.

And the cultivation aura the other party radiated was only at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm…

The Golden-Haired Lion on the side was expressionless; The Terror, Xiao Fan, had already killed several waves of such Cultivators along the way…

Xiao Fan collected the Storage Pouches of the few people and looked back at Zhu Gang.

"You must have known you were in danger, which is why you followed by my side, right? Was it to divert the trouble, or something else?"

This little fatty had been strange from the beginning, chasing after him relentlessly upon seeing the Golden-Haired Lion, and blabbering endlessly along the way.

But after the recent events, Xiao Fan believed this person was very smart.

At least not as simple and honest as he appeared…

Having his intentions exposed, Zhu Gang coughed dryly and smiled: "Big Brother… since you've discovered it, I will tell the truth…"

This Zhu Gang was originally the direct descendant of a large Family, and the Family's power was very great, at least much larger than the Dragon Family. His father was at the cultivation level of the Xuandan Realm, and his mother had died more than ten years ago…

His father found a stepmother, and then gave birth to another son…

His father's attitude toward him changed, all the doting was concentrated on his younger brother, and the stepmother made things difficult in various ways, wanting to get rid of him…

It was usually inconvenient to take action within the Family, so they took this opportunity to send people to assassinate him…

And Zhu Gang had encountered danger once before, but the people taking action did not have high cultivation, and Zhu Gang had managed to dodge it.

He fled to Xilin City, and the little fatty was at the city gate at the time, seeing that the lion Xiao Fan was riding was not simple, and also seeing that Xiao Fan's attire was not that of a local.

Moreover, Xiao Fan was so young, he guessed that Xiao Fan must be going to the Jixian Sect to become an apprentice.

So he found an excuse to pester Xiao Fan…

"Big Brother, I didn't know they would actually send such experts… following by your side was just to make them wary, so they wouldn't dare to strike easily." Zhu Gang's face full of fat was trembling… he started to explain: "Big Brother, I really didn't intentionally drag you into this."

What he said about this point was actually true; the people who attacked him before only had cultivation at the Fifth Level of the Huaqi Realm.

Who could have imagined that this time, three people at the Sixth Level of the Huaqi Realm would appear, and even one at the Seventh Level of the Huaqi Realm…

If it weren't for Xiao Fan's powerful strength, both of them would definitely have fallen here…

Seeming to see his own shadow in the other party, Xiao Fan thought for a moment and then said: "It just so happens to be on the way, then you can come along with me."
