The chill made Sun Hongji’s body weak, unable to stand.
In his perception, Uncle Chang was already an exceptionally formidable existence.
Yet, facing Chu Fan, he died in a single move.
It was then that Sun Hongji understood why the Imperial Medical Hall had immediately adopted a conciliatory stance upon knowing their adversary was Chu Fan.
Such strength was almost on par with the Five Great War Emperors. Although the Imperial Medical Hall’s prestige had surpassed the War Emperor Hall in recent years, they were, in essence, individuals without the strength to even truss a chicken. Facing a wrathful War Emperor-level expert who acted without restraint, the Imperial Medical Hall would suffer immense casualties.
Weighing the consequences, it was natural to downplay the incident.
While Sun Hongji and the others were stunned, Chu Fan was not.
The sniper and the man called Lao Liu, just as they regained their senses, were met by death.
Anyone who dared to harm his aunt would not be allowed to live.
Run!
Sun Hongji, snapping back to reality, didn’t even turn around as he dashed towards the distant cars, his only desire now being to escape with his life.
Mao An Yi stood frozen, his face ashen, having given up all hope of struggle.
*Swish!*
Chu Fan’s figure flickered, appearing directly in front of Sun Hongji.
“You, I…”
*Bang…*
Before Sun Hongji could finish speaking, he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily beside Mao An Yi.
Chu Fan walked over slowly, as if on a stroll.
“Big Brother, I know I was wrong, please, magnanimity is a virtue, overlook my transgression…”
No one wanted to die.
Sun Hongji could sense that Chu Fan was furious. Only by kneeling and begging for mercy could he possibly survive.
*Whoosh…*
The sound of air being torn apart echoed.
A stone, the size of an eyeball, struck Sun Hongji squarely on the forehead, embedding itself deep into his skull like a bullet.
Sun Hongji’s eyes widened, his face filled with unwillingness and regret, his breathing gradually ceasing.
*Plop!*
Mao An Yi could no longer stand, collapsing onto the ground, his legs giving way.
He had expected Chu Fan to say a few more words, or perhaps to be mindful of the Sun family behind Sun Hongji, and after a simple reprimand, let the matter pass.
Who could have imagined that Chu Fan would be so decisive and ruthless, utterly disregarding Sun Hongji’s identity.
As for the insignificant Mao An Yi, Chu Fan swatted him on the top of his head.
He did not kill this person.
However, he would remain in a vegetative state for five years.
*Vroom, vroom…*
A roaring sound approached from a distance, and over a dozen cars appeared at the entrance of the printing and dyeing factory.
Before the cars had even come to a complete stop, five figures emerged from them and rushed forward at extreme speed.
Upon arrival, gazing at the undeniably dead Sun Hongji, a flicker of astonishment crossed the eyes of the Five Great War Emperors.
A mere young master of the Sun family was not enough to warrant the Five Great War Emperors uttering words like "this is not quite appropriate."
The Central Plains War Emperor stepped forward and asked anxiously, “Sir, is your aunt alright?”
At this moment, all five were concerned about the kidnapped Qin Xue’s safety.
Qin Xue’s safety would determine the mood of the demon god before them.
If she was unharmed, the matter would end with Sun Hongji’s death.
If she was harmed, the Five Great War Emperors knew that the Dragon God Kingdom would once again be thrown into chaos, and the Sun family would, at the very least, be removed from the Dragon God Kingdom’s Hundred Clan List.
“She’s fine!”
Chu Fan replied calmly and then walked towards the dilapidated building where his aunt was.
Watching the demon god depart, the Five Great War Emperors looked at the corpse on the ground, feeling both anger and helplessness.
The anger stemmed from Sun Hongji being too young, relying on his family’s formidable strength and looking down on Chu Fan, nearly provoking the demon god’s wrath.
The helplessness arose from the Five Great War Emperors knowing that Shanhai City would experience unrest again.
Sun Hongji was dead.
Chu Fan no longer pursued the matter, but that did not mean the Sun family would let it slide.
It was expected that someone from the Sun family would soon arrive in Shanhai City to investigate who killed Sun Hongji and seek revenge.
After a moment of contemplation, the Central Plains War Emperor spoke, “The War Emperor Hall will not interfere in this matter!”
“If the Sun family wants to make trouble, then let them!”
“The younger generation of the Hundred Clans’ homes in Shanhai City has become increasingly arrogant in recent years. Someone needs to come forward to rein them in and curb their presumptuousness.”
The other four War Emperors all nodded in agreement.
Inside the abandoned building.
Chu Fan found Qin Xue, who was still unconscious.
After pressing specific acupoints, Qin Xue slowly woke up. Upon seeing Chu Fan, she cried and threw herself into his arms.
After much comforting, Qin Xue’s emotions finally stabilized.
When the two returned to the ground floor, personnel from the War Emperor Hall had already removed the bodies and departed.
Not seeing the culprits who kidnapped her, Qin Xue curiously asked, “Xiao Fan, where did those people who kidnapped me go?”
“They were taken away by the War Emperor Hall!”
Qin Xue nodded, then asked curiously, “Xiao Fan, do you know who wanted to kidnap me?”
The sudden kidnapping made her suspect that her rapid development of Tianfan Pharmaceuticals had displeased some individuals.
There were things that, if her aunt knew, would shock her.
Chu Fan simply shook his head, “Aunt, we’ll have to wait for the War Emperor Hall’s investigation, but such a thing won’t happen again.”
The kidnapping incident served as a stark reminder to Chu Fan.
While he was immensely powerful and unafraid of any individual or force, he was, after all, only one person.
Two fists were no match for four hands.
His aunt was just an ordinary person, easily vulnerable to harm.
This time it was Sun Hongji who acted, but next time it might be enemies like Lord Zhang, who had previously targeted his mother.
Therefore, he had already instructed Ji Ning Yue to mobilize three hidden Grandmasters.
These three would henceforth secretly follow his aunt and Nan Bai Xuan, providing protection for them.
As for Nan Zi An, Chu Fan couldn’t be bothered to concern himself with him.
Dragon God Kingdom, Qing Province.
The Sun family was one of the ten major families in Qing Province, with assets spanning all industries.
At this moment, Sun Lian He, Sun Hongji’s father, was anxiously pacing at the entrance.
Half an hour ago.
He had contacted his son to inquire about the progress of handling the matter, but his phone was turned off.
A bad premonition gnawing at him, he urgently contacted Uncle Chang and the other two dispatched, and upon finding them unreachable, Sun Lian He realized something had happened.
Currently, the Sun family was making every effort to search for Sun Hongji’s whereabouts.
“Master, something’s wrong, something’s wrong…”
An old man in his sixties stumbled towards Sun Lian He.
“Master, Young Master, Young Master…”
The word “dead” was difficult for the butler to utter.
*Crack…*
Sun Lian He collapsed onto the ground, his entire body trembling.
Having failed to contact Sun Hongji and those sent to handle the situation, he already had a premonition.
With the confirmation of the facts, the outcome was unbearable.
Five minutes later, Sun Lian He managed to stand up with the help of his butler.
“Notify Tianshan Hall, all members assemble!”
Tianshan Hall was one of the ten major underground forces in Qing Province, and Uncle Chang, whom Chu Fan had killed in one move, was a hall master under Tianshan Hall.
His son had been killed.
A white-haired man seeing off his black-haired son.
Sun Lian He was going for revenge.
“Also, I want all information on someone called Chu Fan!”
Although it wasn’t entirely confirmed yet that Sun Hongji had been killed by Chu Fan, as a normal person with unimpaired reasoning, it was highly probable.
Sun Hongji had mentioned the person he intended to deal with was called Chu Fan during his earlier call, and now that his son was dead, it was almost certainly related to him.
On Shanhai City’s side.
Ji Ning Yue, upon learning that the Sun family of Qing Province was investigating Chu Fan’s information, immediately made a call.
“Young Master, the Sun family of Qing Province is investigating your information. They likely know that Sun Hongji is dead.”
“Furthermore, members of Tianshan Hall controlled by the Sun family are gathering. They will most likely arrive in Shanhai City tomorrow.”
“Do we need to prepare anything on our end?”
“No need!”
“If they wish to die, we shall fulfill their wish!”
