Chapter Sixteen: Ruthless Hands Destroying Flowers

  PS: Three knives wish all book friends a happy Children's Day in advance on June 1st, and a happy Dragon Boat Festival with family reunion and happiness tomorrow.

  "Is this all you're capable of?" Fang Yan said coldly as he knocked Gao Jin back.

  "Just now was just accompanying you to play, since you insist on finding death, then now send you on the road." Gao Jin also did not expect Fang Yan would be so troublesome, putting away the previous contemptuous heart, the gentle and elegant face was replaced by a cold color.

  "Wang Yan, what are you doing here?" Wang Yanran exclaimed in surprise as she pushed through the trees and saw Wang Yan bound up and covered in wounds.

  "Yan Rantang sister, save me." Wang Yan had been suffering from Fang Yan's torment for the past few days. At this moment, seeing Wang Yanyan was like a dream come true. Her voice was a little hoarse as she begged Wang Yanyan for help.

  "Despicable, to deal with a mere woman Liu is so cruel." Looking at Wang Yan's haggard appearance, her whole body bound by rattan strips, Wang Yan knew that she had suffered greatly in the past few days. Her face turned cold, and a flash of murderous intent flickered in her eyes.

  "Release Wang Yan quickly, otherwise you will all die."

  Wang Yan is the granddaughter of Wang Jingtai, the eldest elder of the Wang family, and her status in the Wang family is second only to that of Wang Yanran. If she were to die in this Sword Grave trial space, Wang Yanran would also be held accountable. For now, their priority is to save Wang Yan, and for a moment, none of the young masters of the Wang family dared to make any rash moves.

  "Let her go, do you think I, Fu Qingxuan, am an idiot?" Fu Qingxuan said coldly, one hand grasping Wang Yan's neck and lifting her up.

  "As long as you let Wang Yan go, there's something good to say." Wang Yanran saw that Wang Yan's face had turned white and she could suffocate to death at any moment, so she immediately spoke up.

  "Let us leave safely and I will let her go." Fu Qingxuan's tone was indifferent, coldly staring at Wang Yanran.

  "What? Wang Yan has fallen into Fu Qingxuan's hands, what is going on." Gao Jin and Fang Yan were fighting while retreating, seeing that Wang Yan and others had not captured Fu Qingxuan, but instead got caught by her.

  "Fang Yan, come quickly." Fu Qingxuan called out as soon as she saw that Fang Yan was fine.

  "Yan Ran, what's going on?" Wang Jia's disciple was hesitant to intervene, and Gao Jin suddenly asked Yan Ran.

  "Brother Gao, help me save Wang Yantang's sister. If we succeed, I'll definitely thank you heavily." As soon as Wang Yanran saw Gao Jin, she couldn't help but say so.

  "Fu Qingxuan, you're really despicable, using Wang Yan as a hostage." Gao Jin shouted at Fu Qingxuan.

  "I'm despicable, I'm despicable, so I wouldn't secretly plot against a mere woman like me. How dare you say that I'm despicable?"

  "Brother Gao, save me!" Wang Yan rushed to Gao Jin for help.

  Wang Yan knew that whether she could be rescued or not depended on Gao Jin's one sentence. Fang Yan and his group just wanted to leave, the Wang family would definitely save her, but Gao Jin and his gang were a bit uncertain.

  "Don't worry, our two families are allies, I will definitely save you." Gao Jin said without hesitation.

  Fu Qingxuan, you can leave, on condition that you release Wang Yan immediately.

  "What makes you think I'll believe you? If I let her go, won't you just catch up to us again? Don't forget, we're both injured and can't get very far. You'll be able to catch up to us soon." Fu Qingxuan sneered.

  "How far do you want to go before letting Wang Yan go? If we are forced to desperation, it's not a big deal to fight to the death. I don't believe you really dare to kill Wang Yan, unless your Fang family doesn't want to have a foothold in Yangzhou City anymore." Gao Jin coldly shouted, having his thoughts seen through by Fu Qingxuan, he was somewhat enraged and humiliated.

  "Xuan sister, take Tao brother and leave first. I just need to confirm that you two are out of danger, and then I will let her go immediately." Fang Yan said calmly, with both sides at a stalemate.

  "How is this possible? If anyone should stay behind, it should be me." Fu Qingxuan retorted.

  "Xuan sister, you are all injured, staying here will only put you in a desperate situation, but I'm different, I'm not hurt, don't worry, I'll catch up with you soon." Fang Yan's eyes were firm and unwavering.

  "Right, Xiang sister, in a small valley more than ten miles ahead, there is a nest of blood blade mantises. These guys will definitely hunt us down, and when that happens...". Fang Yan whispered softly into her ear, as he couldn't help but sniff the unique, captivating fragrance that came from the woman's heart.

  "Alright, we'll wait for you in that valley, you must come back alive." Fu Qingxuan didn't notice Fang Yan's unusual movement and continued to say.

  "It's fallen into my hands again! Your life isn't looking too good!" Fang Yan took over from Wang Yan, shaking his head as he grasped her pulse.

  "Fang Yan, you ruthless killer! If you dare to touch a single hair on my head, you will absolutely die without a burial ground today. If you know what's good for you, let me go immediately!" Wang Yan's face turned iron-gray as she bellowed at Fang Yan.

  "You'd better save your energy, it's not certain who will die yet." Fang Yan sneered, no longer looking at Wang Yan in his hand. Until Fu Qingxuan and Tao Hui left, Gao Jin, Wang Yanran and others did not make any rash moves, the tense strings in their hearts relaxed slightly.

  "Fang Yan, Fu Qingxuan has also left, can you let Wang Yan go now?" Wang Yanran said somewhat impatiently as Fu Qingxuan disappeared from view.

  "Fall back, all of you fall back." Fang Yan waited for a moment, estimating that Fu Qingxuan and the others had almost reached a safe place, and suddenly said.

  "Alright, we've retreated, can't you let her go now?" Gao Jin waved his hand, and the crowd behind him withdrew dozens of feet away. Then he urged Fang Yan to hurry up. Meanwhile, he was secretly accumulating power, waiting for Wang Yan to escape safely, after which it would be Fang Yan's turn to die.

  "Alright." Fang Yan smiled faintly, and the expressions of everyone were within his sight. Fang Yan knew that Fu Qingxuan and the others had just escaped, but now was the most dangerous time. Two great Jiedan stage cultivators at the ninth level could take his life with just a slight carelessness.

  "Fang Yan, you're a murderer, today you're definitely going to die." Escaping Fang Yan's control, Wang Yanyu's face turned cold and frosty, somewhat hysterically shouting at Wang Yanran, "Yanran younger sister, quickly, quickly kill this murderer!"

  Thinking of Fang Yan's actions in the jungle, Wang Yan was filled with shame and anger. Now that she had escaped from the tiger's mouth, what she wanted to do most was to chop Fang Yan into a thousand pieces.

  "Hmph... you still haven't changed your ways, thinking you can escape and rise to heaven." Wang Yan's eyes were venomous with resentment. Such a scourge would naturally not be let off by Fang Yan, who coldly snorted and then unleashed a Mountain-Crushing Fist towards Wang Yan's back.

  "You dare, kid."

  "Fang Yan, you're looking for death."

  Wang Yanran, Gao Jin saw Fang Yan raise his hand and knew that things were going to go wrong. Unexpectedly, he was so ruthless, wanting to force Wang Yan to death. They all spoke out to stop him.

  Fang Yan's killing intent burst out, having been brewing for a long time, how could it possibly stop. One punch was thrown out, disregarding life or death, the massive fist shadow heavily crashed towards Wang Yan, and with one kick on the ground, he flew backwards.

  "Pffft!"

  Scarlet blood splattered wildly, and with a loud "plop", Wang Yan's smile of relief was still frozen on her face as she crashed to the ground, sending dry branches and leaves flying everywhere.

  "Fang Yan, I, Wang Yan, swear to this oath, if I don't kill you, I will not be a human being." Wang Yan fell into the pool of blood, which was beyond everyone's expectation. Fang Yan was so ruthless, Wang Yan's face was filled with killing intent, and he shouted angrily, swinging his sword towards Fang Yan in pursuit.

  Half of his chest was blown away by Fang Yan's Bao Shan Fist, and his chest was a mess of blood and flesh, almost penetrating through to the other side. He fell to the ground with weak gasps, clearly beyond saving.

  Fang Yan could kill a third-stage demon beast equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining with one punch, and killing Wang Yan was simply not worth any effort.
