Chapter 301: Spatial Ability
It had been a long time since she had last seen Gu Fan, and for a moment, Xia Yan even felt a trace of awe.
Especially since she also walked the path of cultivation, she could better understand Gu Fan’s strength.
That abyss-like aura, as vast as the ocean, the immovable and majestic divine soul presence—it actually made her legs go weak.
After taking several deep breaths, Xia Yan still managed to compose herself.
“Copper City is a city just east of us.
Its area is smaller than ours, and it used to be a heavy industrial city, rich in copper ore and other metals.”
“We heard that the survivor faction in Copper City has also been unified.
This was an opportunity for us to negotiate cooperation, so we proposed a meeting to talk.”
“But after three rounds of negotiations, we still failed to reach an agreement.
The other side demanded we become a subordinate force.”
“This time, we sent a few people to Copper City for one last attempt at negotiation.
We didn’t expect that our lead negotiator would be killed by them!”
Hearing this, Gu Fan asked with some dissatisfaction:
“Why didn’t you kill them?”
After speaking, he looked at Xia Yan and sized her up.
“Your cultivation has advanced so slowly?”
Hearing that, Xia Yan immediately felt aggrieved.
“I don’t have any Spirit Stones left…”
“They ran out seven months ago… I don’t even dare to make a move casually now…”
Gu Fan’s breath caught slightly, and he awkwardly rubbed his nose.
“Ahem… I didn’t think that through.”
With that, Gu Fan tossed her a Storage Pouch.
“There are ten thousand Spirit Stones inside, enough for you to cultivate to the True Yang Realm.”
After settling that matter, Xia Yan continued:
“The other side also has a Spatial Ability, which makes him very hard to kill.
The moment there’s danger, he escapes.
If you try to flee, he can unpredictably appear behind you and attack from all sorts of strange angles!”
“Spatial Ability…”
Gu Fan sighed slightly.
This world’s post-apocalypse Awakening Ability system really did have some peculiar points.
The general martial strength was low, yet some awakened skills could touch upon rules that, in the Cultivation World, only experts at high realms could reach.
For example, an Ability user at merely level fifteen would be equivalent to the Sea Transformation Realm in the Cultivation World—someone you could kill with ease—yet they could grasp a Spatial Teleportation ability that even Yang Spirit cultivators might not dare to claim mastery over.
While one couldn’t say this person had truly mastered the laws of space, being able to use them freely was already incredibly heaven-defying.
It was like a Sea Transformation cultivator being able to teleport through space at will—utterly monstrous!
Unfortunately for that person, if it had been earlier, Gu Fan might have had to put in some effort.
But now… as long as the other party couldn’t instantly teleport more than twenty kilometers away, once Gu Fan’s Domain opened, they could forget about escaping.
While Gu Fan remained silent, the others kept sneaking glances at him.
Especially Liao Tie—he hadn’t expected Gu Fan not to trouble him, yet that didn’t stop him from nearly wetting himself in fear.
“Alright, I understand.
Leave the Spatial Ability user to me.
Those who kill my people naturally have to pay the price.”
After speaking, Gu Fan continued:
“Any other issues?”
Xia Yan shook her head, indicating there were none.
The Chi Sisters also stayed silent.
Gu Fan nodded, then smiled.
“In that case, I’ll begin.”
Everyone froze.
Begin?
What did he mean?
Only Xia Yan instantly felt her scalp tingle, that familiar feeling washing over her again.
The Chi Sisters also reacted immediately and looked toward Liao Tie.
The next moment, Gu Fan’s gaze fell on Liao Tie.
Everyone watched as Liao Tie’s right hand suddenly exploded into pieces.
No movement, no energy fluctuations—just a simple glance.
Blood formed a dense rain of droplets in the air, splattering across the faces of several of Liao Tie’s subordinates.
It wasn’t until Liao Tie screamed in agony that the others realized what had happened.
Gu Fan placed a vertical finger to his lips, signaling silence.
Liao Tie’s face turned pale, sweat beading like soybeans on his forehead, yet he immediately shut his mouth.
He didn’t dare make a sound, because he knew if he did, Gu Fan would kill him.
“It’s been over a year since we last met, hasn’t it?”
Gu Fan flicked his fingers lightly, and a strand of Life Essence emerged.
Everyone then witnessed an almost fantastical scene.
The arm that had just been blown apart rapidly regenerated before their eyes.
Liao Tie could feel his arm returning.
Though the bone-deep pain still lingered in his senses, the limb was indeed back.
Unfortunately, before he could rejoice for more than a few seconds, Gu Fan waved his hand again.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the newly grown arm exploded once more, and an even deeper wave of agony drowned Liao Tie.
“Do you remember when you brought those two brothers to cause trouble for me?
Back then, I was merciful enough not to kill you.”
Life Essence appeared again, and Liao Tie, kneeling on the ground, regrew his arm yet again.
This time, however, he stared at it in terror, knowing it could be blown apart again at any moment.
“I was wrong, Boss!
I was wrong!
Please, for the sake of the year I’ve worked diligently, spare me this once!”
Then he turned to Xia Yan.
“Sister Yan, I was wrong, I was wrong—please help me…
I didn’t mean anything else…
Please help plead for me!”
Gu Fan looked toward Xia Yan, and as he did, Liao Tie’s arm exploded once again.
The meeting room was instantly filled with the stench of blood, crimson splattering everywhere.
Several of Liao Tie’s nearby underlings were so frightened they wet themselves on the spot.
They trembled all over, not daring to move.
Seeing Gu Fan’s gaze, Xia Yan hesitated.
“He does work earnestly and has handled quite a few troublesome matters.”
Hearing that, Gu Fan nodded, then waved his hand to restore Liao Tie’s arm, injecting a strand of spiritual power into his body.
“You can escape death, but not punishment!
I’ve implanted an energy inside you—every three nights, you’ll experience the pain of ten thousand snakes gnawing at your heart.
Consider it a reminder.”
Liao Tie didn’t have time to think.
Hearing that Gu Fan would spare him for now, he kowtowed repeatedly.
“Thank you, Boss!
Thank you, Boss!”
He never wanted to feel that kind of pain again—just as one wave ended, another came, utterly beyond human endurance.
Gu Fan then looked toward the few subordinates who had just spoken earlier.
Xia Yan valued Liao Tie’s usefulness and spared him, but these small fry were another matter.
With a casual point of his finger, Gu Fan made them explode where they stood.
A rain of blood drenched the meeting room, baptizing everyone present.
The others swallowed their fear and resisted the urge to move.
Gu Fan stood, looking slightly bored.
“I gave you such good living conditions, yet you insist on courting death!”
He walked slowly toward the conference room’s main door, waved his hand, and smiled.
“Alright, finish the rest of the meeting yourselves.
Xia Yan, remember to inform me when it’s time to act.”
With that, his figure flickered and vanished.
Xia Yan looked around and saw that everyone’s eyes were now filled with fear—far more obedient than before.
She sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, she hadn’t been killing enough lately.
In this world, only killing could keep people in line!
