Xiaohua's hand gripping the scissors trembled. He never expected Zhao Dalei to be so shameless, not even caring about him at all.
"Since that's the case, I'll die for you to see today!"
Xiaohua didn't hesitate. The scissors in his hand plunged towards his throat. At this point, he had no face to live on. After all, Zhao Dalei wouldn't let him go, so it was better to die and preserve his innocence.
"Don't!"
The villagers of Niutian cried out, their faces filled with worry. They never thought Xiaohua would do such a thing.
*Zheng...*
Just then, a faint sound was heard. The scissors in Xiaohua's hand fell to the ground, as if struck by a force.
"If you don't want to go with him, no one can force you!"
Lu Fan walked over. "There's no need to end your own life. Just live well!"
"Immortal Lu!"
The villagers of Niutian were surprised and overjoyed. If Lu Fan hadn't arrived, Xiaohua might have truly died prematurely.
"What are you? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Zhao Dalei glared at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He hadn't expected a mere commoner like Lu Fan to dare to speak such words and oppose him.
"I'm just an ordinary person!"
Lu Fan smiled. "But I can't stand to see you bully others with your influence!"
"I think you're tired of living! Don't you know who you're standing in front of!"
Several men beside him spoke coldly. "This is Young Master Zhao, someone you can't afford to offend!"
In response to their words, Lu Fan smiled. "It's better to forgive when possible. Moreover, if someone is unwilling, why force them? Wouldn't that displease them!"
"I've been in this Clear Water Town for so many years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this!"
Zhao Dalei looked at Lu Fan. "You must be the first!"
"Perhaps so!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "But with me here, you can't touch him!"
"Very good, very good!"
Zhao Dalei sneered. "Do you know who my brother is?"
"No matter who your brother is, I won't let you act so recklessly!"
Lu Fan's eyes flashed with coldness. "If you don't believe me, you can try!"
At Lu Fan's words, Zhao Dalei's face instantly turned grim. He said coldly, "Teach this kid a lesson. He's got quite the nerve to be so arrogant!"
Following his words, the men behind Zhao Dalei nodded and stepped forward to face Lu Fan, their eyes filled with coldness.
The villagers of Niutian also became worried. They knew very well how intimidating Zhao Dalei was. If Lu Fan really fought them, it might lead to unforeseen trouble.
This was not a trivial matter for them.
Lu Fan didn't want to make a move, but the imposing manner of Zhao Dalei and his men made him quite displeased. "Since you want to attack, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Quite the bold statement!"
A man beside him said coldly. "If we don't show you our strength today, you'll really think we're sick cats!"
After speaking, the man suddenly attacked, lunging at Lu Fan without hesitation. In his eyes, Lu Fan was just an ordinary person, not worth mentioning.
The other men also attacked, showing no restraint. Lu Fan, ignorant of his own limitations, had offended Zhao Dalei, sealing his own doom.
Zhao Dalei stood aside, looking gloating. He wanted to see Lu Fan groveling and begging for mercy.
At this moment, Lu Fan remained calm. He simply turned sharply, exuding a powerful spiritual energy, and directly sent the group flying.
After being repelled, the men looked at each other in disbelief. They never imagined that Lu Fan possessed such ability.
"An immortal! He's actually an immortal!"
The men exclaimed, looking at Lu Fan with fear. They knew very well how powerful immortals were. If they wished, they could be utterly destroyed.
"How could he be an immortal!"
Zhao Dalei's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Lu Fan, his expression filled with disbelief. An immortal appearing in Niutian Village was truly remarkable.
"Don't trouble them anymore in the future!"
Lu Fan said. "I can spare your life today, but if I return to Niutian Village in the future and anything happens to them, I will hold you accountable!"
"Even if you are an immortal, you shouldn't be so arrogant!"
Zhao Dalei said coldly. "My brother is also an immortal, and the chief disciple of the Clear Water Sect. If you offend me, you'll regret it."
"What, it seems you insist on crossing me today?"
Lu Fan's eyes turned sharp, and he looked at Zhao Dalei. He hadn't intended to, but it seemed he had to make a move to deter them.
Zhao Dalei was startled. He could sense Lu Fan's powerful aura and understood that he was trying to intimidate him.
"Forget it, today's matter ends here!"
Zhao Dalei said, then glared fiercely at the villagers of Niutian before turning to leave, his gaze filled with malice.
Watching Zhao Dalei's retreating back, the villagers of Niutian had grim expressions. They could all see that Zhao Dalei would not let them off easily.
"Thank you!"
Xiaohua looked at Lu Fan, unsure how to express his gratitude.
At this moment, the villagers of Niutian were also deeply moved. Lu Fan, with no relation to Niutian Village, was willing to help. This was a significant kindness.
"You don't need to thank me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "After all, we've met. How could I stand by and watch Zhao Dalei bully the people of Niutian Village!"
"Immortal Lu, you should leave quickly!"
Jiang Dahe said earnestly. "From what I know of Zhao Dalei, he will never let you off easily. He has never feared anyone in Clear Water Town, nor has he ever suffered a setback. How can he tolerate someone bullying him!"
"It's alright!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "Looking at his eyes just now, he likely won't let the villagers of Niutian off easily. Since that's the case, I might as well go all out. I'll take care of him tonight!"
The villagers of Niutian were stunned. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to have such an idea. If this were to happen, the entire Clear Water Town would probably thank Lu Fan.
"Immortal Lu, please don't do anything rash!"
Jiang Dahe quickly warned. "If you really do that, wouldn't it bring about a fatal disaster? What would you do then?"
"It's alright, as long as you can be safe. After all, I can't drag you down!"
Lu Fan said frankly. "Besides, if I assassinate him in secret, no one will know it was me, and no one will be able to track me."
Having said that, Lu Fan left Niutian Village. He had no intention of staying there, as he had a target tonight: to eliminate Zhao Dalei. Only then could he leave with peace of mind.
