Chapter 215: Coming to Pick Someone Up!
In the following time, Gu Fan tested the strength of a type of weapon.
In the end, he selected a special metal. Although its strength was not the highest, its toughness was remarkable.
Combining both aspects, it turned out to be a pretty good choice.
Due to this world's heating and shaping methods being unable to melt it,
the subsequent melting process was entirely handled by Gu Fan himself. Finally, it was handed over to the two of them for remodeling and solidification. After embedding a Zombie Crystal Core,
a new spherical object was completed once again and presented before Gu Fan.
Gu Fan held it in his hand, gave a few final instructions, and then left the base alone. This time, he spent half an hour traveling directly to a deep part of the desert.
Meanwhile, since he had almost failed to escape in time earlier, this design incorporated a new function: Gu Fan delayed the moment when energy input would break the balance by half a second.
That half-second would give Gu Fan the chance to escape immediately, while the enemy might hesitate upon sensing the terror of the device— and that moment of hesitation was a fatal timing node.
Gu Fan continuously poured Mysterious Power and Spiritual Power into the device, this time directly inputting nearly sixty percent!
Then, following the previous method, he forcefully threw the orb out, and immediately bolted in the opposite direction, not daring to delay for even a second!
Moments later, the reserved spiritual power entered the orb, and the balance was broken.
Terrifying waves surged forth once again. Gu Fan, while escaping, glanced back.
The familiar scene rose once again— the entire world lit up as bright as day. The shockwave and explosion that annihilated everything devoured the surroundings, creating a scene of overwhelming devastation.
The surrounding space appeared to be pulled and twisted in all directions. Gu Fan even felt that if the power increased just a bit more, cracks might actually form in the space itself!
Finally, the deafening explosion sounded, and he waited for all movements to settle.
Returning to the air, Gu Fan saw a strange, glass-textured crater had appeared in the desert. Its diameter was probably over forty kilometers, and its depth reached several hundred meters!
It was exaggerated. Although he understood that the world's material stability varied, the destructive power was still beyond terrifying!
Gu Fan gulped and ultimately decided he should use it less in the future.
This thing was fine for testing, but in real combat, there was no time to flee immediately. Delaying even a second meant he’d have to endure the edge effects of the explosion.
Even if it was the outer edge, with this kind of force, he felt he’d still be seriously injured!
“As expected, a true ultimate weapon is the kind that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.”
After muttering this, Gu Fan returned to the base.
Then, after bidding farewell to Nurse Xia Yan, he prepared to return to the Cultivation World and settle matters with the Jia Family as soon as possible.
Before leaving, he instructed Nurse Xia Yan to take good care of those two scientific researchers. Except for lacking authority, their living needs should be met as much as possible.
Nurse Xia Yan vaguely guessed that the reason Gu Fan had been in a better mood lately was probably because of those two. She nodded and immediately raised their treatment to the level of Level 2 Management Personnel!
The two were overjoyed and vowed loyalty to the boss…
In the Cultivation World, Tian Ze had already stayed in the inn for three days.
These past days, he had obediently stayed inside, only listening to the surrounding chatter upstairs during meals, about things going on in Tianyun City, about the Qiu Family, and about the Jia Family.
“The Qiu Family has been going crazy lately. I heard they’re searching for someone nonstop. Anyone who can provide a clue will get one thousand Mysterious Dao Stones, and if confirmed true, they’ll get ten thousand more!”
“Damn, who is this person to make the Qiu Family’s Eldest Miss so anxious? I’m so jealous.”
“The Jia Family seems to have quieted down a bit. After their subordinate faction, the Huang Family, was exterminated, they haven’t made any moves. A lot of people are wondering if they’re scared to act.”
"Speaking of Jia Bing, he has reappeared lately. It seems he put out word— if the family of that little female thief doesn’t come to take her away soon, he’ll kill her."
"Hmm? Didn’t he previously say he’d give five days?"
"Heh, don’t you know what kind of person Jia Bing is? He doesn’t have the patience to wait five days!"
…
Tian Ze’s expression did not change. He quickly finished his meal and then returned to his room.
After sitting on the bed for a while, he stood up and began packing his things, preparing to leave.
At that moment, a voice rang out.
"Where are you planning to go?"
Tian Ze's expression froze. He turned to see the black-robed youth who had appeared at some point behind him. For a moment, a flicker of surprise surfaced on his face.
"I’m going to save my little sister! Didn’t you hear? That young master of the Jia Family isn’t giving any more time— he won’t wait five days!"
Gu Fan said nothing. He simply raised his hand and placed all the things back into Tian Ze’s hands one by one.
"You're not the one who should go throw away your life. With your strength, you can’t even defeat one of the Jia Family’s vicious dogs."
Hearing this, Tian Ze’s face turned awkward. In his fury and frustration, he exclaimed:
"But I still…"
"Enough. Since I’ve returned, it means I’m ready."
Gu Fan looked at Tian Ze and said:
"You just stay here quietly and wait for my news..."
"No, actually, you might need to hide somewhere even further. This place might be affected."
After speaking, Gu Fan grabbed the boy's shoulder. Ignoring the confusion in his eyes, he vanished from the spot in an instant.
Moments later, they returned together to the Thatched Cottage where Gu Fan had previously stayed.
"Pack lightly. Wait here for me."
With those words, Gu Fan turned to leave. Tian Ze looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Please, I’m counting on you to save my sister!"
"You don’t need to say it."
Gu Fan chuckled, then kicked off the ground, his figure disappearing into the horizon.
At the same time, within the Jia Residence.
Jia Yi looked at Jia Bing, who was kneeling before him, and said:
"I already told you, this child is bait. Don’t get any ideas!"
Jia Bing’s face was full of rage as he said:
"Father, all these injuries on me are thanks to Gu Fan! Even if I recover now, I’ll never reach a higher realm again. I must make Gu Fan pay! He must regret it!"
"This little brat is related to Gu Fan. You should let me torture her properly— only then will Gu Fan truly regret coming!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Jia Yi shouted angrily:
"I said, once the fish is hooked, you can torture her however you want. But until Gu Fan shows up, you are not to act rashly!"
Hearing this, hatred flashed in Jia Bing’s eyes. Right now, he wished he could destroy everything related to Gu Fan, and the little girl inside the cage before him was just that!
Whenever he thought of the terror and despair that Gu Fan had brought upon him, he couldn’t wait even a moment longer.
He wanted to torture that little girl to death right now and then hang her corpse at the gate of the Jia Residence— just so Gu Fan could see what happens when one offends the Jia Family!
That was the price!
However, as the head of the family, Jia Yi’s word was absolute in this household. Since he had spoken, naturally no one dared to defy his will.
This was what led to the argument between father and son.
"Reporting to the Patriarch! Something’s happened!"
Just then, a guard walked in, his expression serious as he addressed Jia Yi:
"Someone has broken into our Jia Residence! The intruder is a black-robed youth!"
"Do we know who he is?"
The visitor hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"He said— he’s come to pick someone up!"
