Chapter 210: Revenge!
Gu Fan turned his head and saw a small dark silhouette standing in the distance within the shadows.
He was just standing there, staring fixedly at Gu Fan, muttering:
“It’s you... it’s all because of you...”
Gu Fan immediately recognized him—it was that little boy whose butt he had once spanked, Xiao Leyao’s older brother, Tian Ze!
“Why... it’s all your fault, everyone was killed... it’s all because of you...”
Tian Ze slowly walked toward Gu Fan, his eyes filled with endless pain and numbness.
Tear stains still lingered on his cheeks as he continued to shout:
“All just to find you! Everyone was killed!”
After speaking, he raised the blade gripped tightly in his hand and thrust it fiercely at Gu Fan.
Ding!
But the blade tip struck Gu Fan’s body as if hitting solid stone. Aside from emitting a crisp ‘ding’ sound, it had no effect whatsoever.
Yet he didn’t stop. Instead, he stabbed at Gu Fan again and again.
“Die! You’re the one who should die the most! You’re the one who caused everyone’s death! You’re the one who got my father and mother killed!”
“Kill you! Kill you! Die! Die!!”
Gu Fan simply stood there, allowing Tian Ze to vent his hatred on him without resistance.
Though the people weren’t killed by him, it was indeed all because of him.
The Jia Family people had most likely used this method to force him out of hiding!
With a loud crack, after who knew how many slashes, the blade in Tian Ze’s hand finally snapped.
In truth, if Gu Fan hadn’t been deliberately suppressing the strength of his body, that ordinary weapon might have already shattered into dust with the first strike.
“Have you vented enough?”
Tian Ze stared blankly at his blood-covered hands, speechless.
Seeing this, Gu Fan spoke again:
“This matter arose because of me, so I naturally bear responsibility. They spared your life just to have you deliver a message to me. So, do you have any clues?”
“Or do you intend to just let it end like this?”
Tian Ze suddenly looked up. He knew that to get revenge, he had to rely on the man before him. But the hatred in his heart was difficult to suppress.
Though he understood that it wasn’t fair to blame him for the enemies coming to kill innocent people...
The truth remained—if not for this man, the village wouldn’t have been slaughtered!
Gu Fan looked into Tian Ze’s eyes filled with fury and calmly said:
“If you want to kill me for revenge, I don’t mind. When you grow up and have the strength, you’re welcome to come and seek revenge. But for now, there’s something more important to be done.”
Tian Ze buried the hatred deep within his heart. In the end, he wiped the blood and tears off his face and said:
“It was the wealthy Huang Family from the city who came to our village to kill. They came in with your portrait and asked if anyone had seen you, saying they wanted to thank you for something. But since you rarely went out, most people in the village didn’t recognize it was you.”
“But... but my sister thought they really were your friends. Since you suddenly disappeared, she was worried and told them your address and the situation.”
“After they learned that the two of us knew you, they immediately started killing people. My father and mother, and everyone in the village, were all slaughtered!”
“In the end, they took my sister away and told me to wait here and pass a message to you.”
Gu Fan’s eyes remained cold as he nodded and said:
“What message?”
“If you want to save my sister, go immediately to the Jia Family in Tianyun City. My sister is there!”
After Tian Ze finished speaking, he looked straight at Gu Fan.
He was afraid Gu Fan wouldn’t dare go. Clearly, the people on the other side were overwhelmingly powerful.
Gu Fan had been avoiding them—otherwise, they wouldn’t have needed to use such a method to lure him out.
Besides, the Jia Family... though he was still young, he knew of the Jia Family in Tianyun City. It was a top-tier clan—no one in the city dared offend them!
If Gu Fan chose not to go, then Leyao definitely wouldn’t survive!
Gu Fan noticed Tian Ze’s expression and concern. He nodded and said,
“I understand. But before that, we need to go somewhere first.”
Tian Ze was silent for a moment.
“Where? I can lead the way.”
Gu Fan looked around at the corpses with neither sorrow nor joy and said,
“First, bury these people, then... go to the Huang Family!”
Tian Ze’s eyes gradually brightened, then he nodded heavily.
“Alright!”
Outside the city of Tianyun City, in the outer urban area.
This was where various middle and small families settled, each surviving by relying on some of the great families within the city.
Although there were occasional disputes, with the great families stationed here, the conflicts were usually minor scuffles, rarely escalating into major fights. It was considered one of the more stable areas within the city.
There were more than twenty families here, including the Huang Family.
At this moment inside the Huang Family, a middle-aged man in a black robe sat in the center, flanked by core members of the Huang Family.
“Elder Xiao, now that this operation is complete, we hope you can say a few good words for us in front of the Jia Family!”
After speaking, a maid beside him brought over many heavenly materials and earthly treasures emanating mysterious power and presented them before the man.
Xiao Changjing laughed a few times and said,
“Rest assured, since you provided the clues this time, helping us find that thief’s residence and even capturing the key person, your rewards are guaranteed.”
“We are all working for the Jia Family, so I understand this principle.”
With that, the man waved his large sleeve and collected all the treasures.
Then he continued,
“However, stay alert these few days. That thief will likely come to take revenge on us.”
“Haha, Elder Xiao speaks rightly. But with you and our Huang Family Old Ancestor, both peak mid-stage Solar Radiance Realm experts, even if that thief comes, he won’t be able to stir up much trouble!”
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.
“Besides, we’re just running errands. The little girl has been handed over to the Jia Family. That thief, eager to save her, probably won’t waste time coming here.”
“Better safe than sorry. It’s said that person has even killed Solar Radiance Realm experts before. He is not to be underestimated, or the Jia Family wouldn’t use such a method to force him out.”
“What Elder Xiao said is very true. We will definitely strengthen our...”
Before he could finish, everyone noticed that black snowflakes were falling from the pitch-black sky.
“What is this... black snow?”
“Strange, how can it snow in this weather?”
Someone curiously reached out to catch a black snowflake, but the next moment, the snowflake touched their skin and instantly transformed into black flames.
Before the person could react, they were engulfed and consumed by the black flames, turning into a human-shaped charcoal figure within a few breaths.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
Everyone quickly shouted to alert others.
However, many had already been hit, turning into black corpses before they could call for help.
Xiao Changjing’s face dramatically changed, and the many core members of the Huang Family beside him also turned pale with fright.
“How dare the thief! Who is pretending here?”
The next moment, Xiao Changjing shouted loudly. Terrifying mysterious power surged out, blowing away all the black snowflakes.
Then he snorted coldly.
“Huang Family Old Ancestor, hurry and join the fight!”
“Haha, Daoist Xiao, don’t worry. This is my Huang Family. I will naturally not stand idly by!”
A figure rose from the Huang Family’s backyard and swiftly charged toward the front yard to join Xiao Changjing.
But just then, a huge gray mysterious power elephant phantom appeared.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, one hoof stomped toward the Huang Family Old Ancestor.
Boom!
After a loud explosion, the severely damaged corpse of the Huang Family Old Ancestor fell with a thud before Xiao Changjing.
