Chen Fan was unconcerned by such an attack.
Or rather, he appeared calm.
After dodging the blade energy, he retreated to the side.
He relied on sound to pinpoint their location.
Chen Fan understood that as long as they were human, they would make noise.
Therefore, the moment the blade approached him, there would inevitably be an echo.
At this very instant, the black-clothed assailant who had been hiding previously suddenly rushed out.
"Die!"
He fiercely thrust his blade towards Chen Fan's back.
This strike was incredibly swift.
Upon sensing the movement, Chen Fan…
extended two fingers and effortlessly caught the long blade.
Instantly, the black-clothed assailant was rendered immobile, unable to advance.
For a fleeting moment, the assailant felt as if the blade in his hand was embedded in solid rock.
"You..."
Chen Fan let out a cold snort and flicked his fingers outward. The long blade directly slammed into the assailant's chest.
On the spot, the black-clothed man was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
That previous strike felt as if a massive boulder had suddenly struck him.
The pain was agonizing, almost unbearable!
Chen Fan pressed forward fiercely, releasing his internal energy to create a suffocating pressure, immobilizing the assailant.
He then delivered a kick.
This kick contained enough power to kill him.
However, Chen Fan did not push him to the absolute brink!
He stopped.
Yet, even so, the black-clothed man couldn't help but spit out blood.
This was primarily because Chen Fan's internal energy was overwhelmingly powerful.
"Hoo..."
"There's an old saying in your Hua Xia: the winner becomes king, the loser becomes the outlaw. Since I lost, I am the outlaw!"
"Kill me or flay me, do as you please!"
Chen Fan stated coldly, "I have no enmity with you, and I won't kill you!"
"I only want to know who sent you!"
"And went to such great lengths, mobilizing so many people!"
The black-clothed man roared defiantly, "Heh heh... You want to know? Here are a few words for you: dream on!"
Chen Fan calmly replied, "Even if I kill you, I can still find out. It'll just take a little more time! If I don't kill you now, I can even treat your wounds. Do you really think that's a bad deal? If that's the case, then you people are truly not just a little bit foolish!"
"You... You can heal us?"
"Re-really?"
The black-clothed man's heart stirred.
Chen Fan, not worried about the assailant resisting him again once he recovered, casually tossed out a Longevity Elixir. "Here, take this!"
"Eat it, and you'll believe me!"
The black-clothed man was skeptical and hesitated for a moment before swallowing it.
As soon as he swallowed it, within a short while, the elixir began to melt.
Soon, he felt a warmth spreading through his abdomen, a feeling of immense comfort.
"Hoo..."
The black-clothed man let out a long sigh of relief. He now fully believed Chen Fan and said, "I... I believe you! I'm not foolish either. From our brief exchange, I've already determined that I am no match for you!"
"Therefore, I am willing to submit and to speak!"
"The reason we attacked is because a certain Anti-Xia Alliance in your Da Xia offered us a very substantial bounty!"
"That is why we took action!"
Chen Fan acknowledged this with a nod. "So, how much do you know about this Anti-Xia Alliance?"
The black-clothed man replied, "I... I don't know much. I only know that this alliance has united to target Xia Bingqing of Bingqing Cosmetics!"
Chen Fan understood. He tossed them two more elixirs. "Alright, you can leave now!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
