Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 262 The Stronghold Was Kicked Out

"Fellow Daoist Li, you should worry about yourself. I've already given you a chance, but you won't listen to reason. Humph!" Qi Yufeng stopped wasting words and immediately snorted coldly. His figure flashed, and he covered a distance of about ten feet in an instant. He raised his arm and threw a punch.

Seeing this, Du Fan showed a mocking expression. He stood there motionless until the other party's fist was less than ten inches away from his chest, then slowly raised his hand and gave the other party a strange smile.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qi Yufeng's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "This is bad!"

However, by this point, it was clearly too late for him to withdraw his strength.

The next moment, Qi Yufeng felt as if his punch had struck an incredibly hard rock, indestructible and unshakeable. At the same time, an astonishingly strong recoil force suddenly descended from his opponent's chest. This force was exceptionally powerful, as if it were ten times the force of his punch just now.

Qi Yufeng's expression changed abruptly. Before the excruciating pain even arrived, he heard a series of cracking sounds coming from his fist. His eyes instantly flashed with terror, and when he glanced at the strange smile on the other person's face, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Du Fan raised his arm, not making a fist, but striking out with his palm, aiming directly at the opponent's chest.

Every cultivator, when facing a life-or-death crisis, will have a mysterious premonition. This premonition has no logic, but it is accurate and no one will doubt it.

At this moment, a sense of life and death suddenly arose in Qi Yufeng's heart, and it was extremely strong.

Although he couldn't understand why a mere quasi-Qi Refining stage cultivator could be so terrifying, he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately and without hesitation said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please show mercy. I know of a cultivator's cave dwelling containing countless treasures. I, Qi, am willing to share it with you... Ah!"

Two piercing screams suddenly rang out.

One of the sounds naturally came from Qi Yufeng. With a slap from Du Fan's palm, his chest caved in instantly, his flesh and bones shattered in an instant, his heart collapsed, and his entire body was thrown out, already dead. His corpse drew an astonishing arc in the air and flew straight out of the arena.

The second scream came from Du Fan's mouth. His body was also thrown backward, spitting out blood. He suddenly knelt down, but his figure stopped at this moment, and he was still on the arena.

The outcome is decided.

Du Fan's series of subtle movements on stage were naturally unnoticed by the ordinary people around him. In the eyes of the bandits below the stage, what they just witnessed was a simultaneous lightning-fast attack by the two of them, which caused them to be hit and sent flying backward.

"Chieftain..."

A cry of surprise erupted from the bandits around them, and then a slender figure in red suddenly flashed and landed beside Du Fan in an instant, embracing him tightly. This woman was none other than Tian Wu, whose face paled in shock.

"Mr. Qi..."

Zhu Xiaotian's eyes twitched incessantly, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. After a moment of stunned silence, he came to his senses and quickly led more than twenty gang members to Qi Yufeng.

"Master...Master, Mr. Qi...he's dead." One of the Zhuxuan Gang disciples, after examining Qi Yufeng's body, immediately showed a look of panic and said in a trembling voice.

"Dead? How is that possible? Mr. Qi is..."

At this point, Zhu Xiaotian suddenly paused, his mind went blank for a moment, and he looked up sharply. When he saw the leader of the Green Forest Stronghold on the arena, he immediately understood. Then, his entire mind was instantly filled with an extremely strong sense of fear.

"Wu'er, kill Zhu Xiaotian, leave Qi Yufeng's body behind, and let the others go." Du Fan looked exhausted, his eyes were unfocused, and his words were weak, but his determination was unwavering and beyond question.

"Alright!" Tian Wu glanced at Du Fan with heartache, nodded slightly, and without any further words, handed Du Fan over to a bandit. Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and she stomped her foot hard on the ground, her figure shooting out in an instant, heading straight for Zhu Xiaotian.

The four elders of the Green Forest exchanged glances, but did not stop them. Instead, they all took steps and walked towards Du Fan with slightly unpleasant expressions.

"Tian Wu, what do you want to do? I, Zhu, came here only to watch the battle. Since Mr. Qi is no match for me and has already died, this matter should be dropped. Don't break the rules of the martial world!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiaotian understood the other party's intentions immediately. A flash of panic crossed his eyes, and he subconsciously took a step back and hurriedly spoke.

The other members of the Zhuxuan Gang instantly drew their weapons, their eyes filled with vigilance, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, compared to Zhu Xiaotian, although these people were also tense and fearful, they did not have the same sense of trembling that seemed to come from the depths of Zhu Xiaotian's soul.

"I only want Zhu Xiaotian dead. If you don't want to lose your lives in vain, get out of my way!" Tian Wu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her words were extremely cold.

The hundred or so bandits of Green Forest Village didn't care about any of that. Our chieftain had been seriously injured by these guys, and Boss Tian had personally intervened. How could we stand idly by? To hell with all the rules of the martial world!

At this moment, the bandits were filled with rage and their evil intentions were aroused. They all drew their weapons and rushed forward with shouts of curses, completely surrounding the more than twenty people on the other side. It seemed that as long as Boss Tian gave the word, the bandits would rush up without hesitation and chop the other side into mincemeat.

Despite their superior skills and daring, the twenty-odd members of the Zhuxuan Gang still felt a chill run down their spines after witnessing the scene before them. Even though they were usually arrogant and domineering, they did not believe they could escape unscathed under such circumstances.

The standoff lasted only a moment before a hint of impatience appeared in Tian Laoda's beautiful eyes. She immediately waved her hand, signaling the bandits to swarm forward.

"Stop! I surrender!" A burly man from the Zhuxuan Gang twitched his facial muscles. Without thinking, he threw down his weapon and immediately spoke.

"I surrender."

"I surrender too..."

As soon as one person took the lead, the rest of the Zhuxuan Gang members began to speak up, and at the same time, the clanging sounds of weapons hitting the ground rang out one after another. Before long, only five or six of Zhu Xiaotian's trusted subordinates remained, their faces full of anger as they stood guard in front of their gang leader, seemingly prepared to fight to the death.

"You can get out of here!" Tian Wu said coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, the bandits consciously parted to make way for her.

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so members of the Zhuxuan Gang felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They no longer cared about anything else and quickly moved along the human wall passage, then ran out of the stronghold without looking back.

Zhu Xiaotian glanced around and found that he only had five or six loyal subordinates left. At this moment, in addition to fear, he also felt a strong sense of grief and indignation.

But as the leader of a gang, he quickly calmed down and his gaze fell on the arena. With a slight thought, he understood the master's intention.

"My lord, I know nothing..."

Zhu Xiaotian didn't have time to think much at that moment. He only wanted to quickly imply that he would not reveal the other party's identity. However, as soon as he spoke, a loud bang suddenly came to his mind. In an instant, he felt as if his entire head was about to explode, as if it were being torn apart, and he was in extreme pain.

Du Fan's eyes flashed, and he silently withdrew a wisp of divine thought.

"Attack!" Ignoring everything else, Tian Wu suddenly shouted and made the first move.

"Chop them up..." Seeing this, the bandits of Green Forest Village did not hesitate any longer. Holding their weapons, they rushed out with curses and roars, and in an instant, they swallowed the Zhuxuan Gang members and their leader into the raging torrent.

The agonizing screams ceased abruptly as the flesh and blood of the Zhuxuan Gang members instantly disintegrated, scattering in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, all life was lost.

"Bring me the package that Qi Yufeng is carrying..." Du Fan said weakly.

It wasn't that he was after the other party's possessions. Qi Yufeng was just a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. In Du Fan's opinion, this person's cultivation was weak and pathetic. He was also a rogue cultivator who was running around everywhere. How much wealth could he possibly have?

However, there might be some items from the cultivation world in this person's package. Du Fan wasn't really worried about those bandits, but these things absolutely couldn't be discovered by the Four Elders of the Bamboo Forest. With their experience and knowledge, those four old men would surely be able to make a judgment.

If things really develop in this direction, Qi Yufeng's identity will be obvious, and Du Fan will have killed a cultivator. As long as these four old men are not senile, it will be difficult for Du Fan to continue to hide his identity.

Of course, even if all of this happens, Du Fan can rely on his terrifying strength and identity as a cultivator to forcibly control the Green Forest Village without much impact on his plans. For him, doing so is not difficult.

However, after spending some time with these bandits, Du Fan, while not exactly an instant friend, got along quite well and developed some feelings for them. Therefore, he was unwilling to do so unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, there was also the fact that he had deceived Tian Wu emotionally, something that Du Fan was deeply ashamed of and really didn't want to be exposed.

"You, hurry up and invite Mr. Zhou here. Sha Laosan, take the package off Qi Yufeng and deliver it to the chieftain's house. You guys, clean up the battlefield." As Tian Wu was giving out various orders, she had already arrived at Du Fan's place again, picked him up without saying a word, and strode towards Du Fan's bamboo house.

Being hugged by a woman in full view of everyone made Du Fan blush. He felt embarrassed and guilty. This was the second time he had tricked this woman into hugging him while pretending to be seriously injured.
