Chapter 688: The Death of Ji Haoran
Chapter 688: The Death of Ji Haoran
Ji Haoran was dumbfounded, with his mouth open and eyes wide.His mind couldn’t keep up, unable to think or function like a fool.
Looking at the invincible Ye Fan, he was shocked to the extreme, utterly bewildered.
"How can one person’s strength be so formidable, so terrifying?" Ji Haoran couldn’t comprehend, his mind exploded like thunder, terrifying him to the point of losing his wits.
Within moments, Ye Fan knocked down all the dozens of people Ji Haoran brought with him.
The figures lying on the ground moaned in pain and squirmed fearfully.
"Just how powerful is he!"
"We are all experts, yet none of us could even approach him, let alone exchange blows with him. How is this possible?"
"He’s a monster, truly a monster!"
"Such a master, we have never seen or heard of before!"
They looked at Ye Fan in fear, utterly stunned and disbelieving.
They were all elite fighters, now easily defeated, the shock they felt was imaginable.
"This guy is just as magnificent and captivating as ever," Zhang Lu, waiting to handle the aftermath, reflected with mixed feelings.
Ji Haoran’s jaw nearly dropped, and he instinctively wiped his cold sweat. His current state could be described as terrifying, with his hair standing on end, and no trace of his usual composure and maturity.
"How is this possible?"
"How could it be!!"
"How can he be this strong!!!"
"Is he even human?"
"This is beyond the scope of humanity."
These thoughts entangled Ji Haoran’s mind, relentlessly questioning him.
In an instant, he seemed to age over ten years, appearing decrepit, like a leaf about to wither in the wind.
He now realized that before Ye Fan, he was indeed as insignificant as an ant.
He also clearly thought that Ji Shaoyang was likely dead, just as Ye Fan had said, and the others were captured.
If he hadn’t witnessed Ye Fan’s strength, he wouldn’t have believed Ye Fan’s words, but now he had no choice.
"My Ji Family is finished."
"I am a sinner, it’s all my fault for being arrogant and domineering, when in fact I was just a frog at the bottom of a well, short-sighted."
"I regret it, if only there were a remedy for regret in the world."
"I regret not listening to Master Fu’s advice and warnings."
"Now that I regret, everything is too late."
Ji Haoran fully recognized this, his expression dispirited, no longer holding any dignity.
"Die, you are doomed to die," Ye Fan said indifferently.
Ji Haoran snapped out of his trance, regaining some rationality. He had long been tormented into despair and had realized the inevitable outcome of his death. With such an understanding, he was no longer afraid of death.
After all, he was a man of stature, even if he died, he would rather die standing than die in humiliation.
"To die at your hands is not an unjust fate."
"I could guess your identity is extraordinary, but I understood a bit too late."
"If we hadn’t gone to opposing sides, maybe we could have had many opportunities for cooperation."
"But now, I’ve made a grave mistake and cannot turn back."
Ji Haoran spoke, closing his eyes that had lost all light.
Ye Fan made no sound, nor did he show sympathy. He knew better than anyone that if Ji Haoran had the power to control life and death, it would be him and those around him suffering, so he wouldn’t show Ji Haoran the slightest mercy.
He swiftly extended his palm, chopping down on Ji Haoran’s neck.
With a snap of bones, Ji Haoran’s body went limp, falling straight to the ground.
"Ji Haoran is dead?"
"He really dares to kill, has he gone mad?"
"In Huaxia, daring to kill Ji Haoran is surely a dead end with no chance to live."
The dozens of people Ji Haoran brought were dumbfounded, unable to understand why Ye Fan dared to commit murder so boldly.
It must be known that Ji Haoran’s status was far from ordinary.
They looked at Ji Haoran’s corpse and then at Ye Fan, their hearts filled with complex emotions.
Thus, the meticulously planned threefold assassination attempt by Ji Haoran ended with the deaths of Ji Haoran and his son. In reality, even ten Ji Families combined were no match for Ye Fan and his allies, not even qualified to be their opponents.
Beside Ye Fan were all strong individuals, one person’s absolute power can decide many things, and it isn’t just a matter of having more people.
Finally, Zhang Lu, looking valiant and heroic, came forward.
"Take them away and handle this according to protocol," Zhang Lu instructed those behind her.
"Yes." The group responded without a word, forcibly taking away those Ji Haoran had brought.
"What are you doing? Are you going to dispose of us in a secluded place? What you’re doing is wrong, it’s illegal." Initially, these people struggled, afraid of being silenced somewhere remote, but upon realizing Zhang Lu and the others’ identities, they resigned themselves, terrified yet relieved, knowing they wouldn’t be killed.
Zhang Lu only emerged after Ji Haoran’s death for a reason, to respect Ji Haoran’s dignity, allowing him to leave with some grace. Otherwise, Ji Haoran would die with regrets.
Master Fu had done enough, it was Ji Haoran’s arrogance that led to this outcome.
If Ji Haoran knew the organization had a hand in it, he would be unwilling to accept it.
In fact, for the organization, having one less opponent like Ji Haoran against Ye Fan was a positive outcome.
"You are amazing, I knew you were strong, but witnessing it personally was astonishing," Zhang Lu said sincerely.
"Just handle it easily, do I have to clean it up slowly?" Ye Fan said speechlessly.
"Anyway, I still have to thank you, since because of your generosity, fewer of our people were killed or injured. You were on the passive side, and your mercy is commendable," Zhang Lu said with a smile.
"When you say that, it feels too formal. I’m not a bloodthirsty person," Ye Fan replied calmly.
"Alright then, it’s late, you should get some rest. I have some aftermath work to handle, so I’ll take my leave first," Zhang Lu said, smiling brightly, and then left.
This night passed quickly.
The threat from the Ji Family within the country was eliminated.
Ye Fan set his sights on Japan, targeting Blood Rose and Wanpu Company, these two enemies.
He decided to go to Japan and eliminate these threats first.
