No matter if they succeed in stopping Zhu Fan tonight, the names of these six people will forever be a legendary symbol, idols for the new generation of Yanhuang Soul members to look up to.
Six individuals, six young people in their early twenties. Although each is covered in wounds and doesn't even have the strength to stand, look at the Red Butterfly's side: a once formidable assassin organization is now, in less than a night, reduced to just over a dozen people including Zhu Fan.
Of course, there are other factors here, including the Federation Bureau and Kawashima Jun. But from another perspective, even if sixteen or sixty people came to XG, it's doubtful they could achieve the same results, wouldn't you agree?
Back when Li San first met Xiaofan, he couldn't even imagine something like this.
Back then, Li Kuo was focused on avenging himself against the Red Butterfly, believing that killing the one responsible for his father's death would be revenge enough. Facing the massive Red Butterfly, he felt powerless, but now?
Back then, Lei Xiaolei only wanted to repay Xiaofan for avenging his father's murder by following him, willing to give up his most cherished Yanhuang Soul badge. But now, he has achieved a level within the young generation of Yanhuang Soul members that no one can reach. This is his pride.
Back then, Ren Ying was determined to protect the Ren Family, guard Ren Ling, and serve this new master. Who would have thought he'd stand here and kill to his heart's content?
Back then, Han Shengjun was just a retired soldier, only wanting to find a security job to support his sister's education. He gave up his dreams and everything he had, just to protect his family. Yet, he found his family well cared for by a young man. Slowly, his beloved dreams began to come true. Finally, today, the bomb he developed was used in practice, achieving unprecedented results.
They are all proud...
Back then...
"Now, I'll give you one last chance. If anyone wants to back out, speak up immediately."
"Xiaofan, we've heard this from you so often our ears are worn out."
"This time it's different; we're for real, it could be deadly."
"If we die, it only means you gave us wrong guidance. So we're all putting our lives in your hands."
Now, no one has died. Everyone is alive and well, which is wonderful, truly wonderful.
For the next twenty-five minutes, I'll hold on, Ye Xiaofan. Even if I'm the one who dies in the end, as long as I can make it through these twenty-five minutes, everything will be over.
What did he just say? He called himself Ye Xiaofan?
Zhu Fan stared in stunned surprise at the Black Mantis standing in front of everyone, surely shocked.
His actions, his skills, and those toothpicks.
If you talk about Ye Xiaofan's most iconic weapon, it's those toothpicks, known by everyone in the Red Butterfly. But Ye Xiaofan doesn't look like this!
"What did you say your name was?"
"Oh, let me formally introduce myself. I'm Ye Xiaofan, the one listed on the Red Butterfly Assassination Order with a five-billion bounty... Ye Xiaofan."
With that, Xiaofan gently pulled a corner of his mask. Ever since Li Sisi saw his true face last time, this new mask had not been removed for a long time.
It all made sense now; everything was clear. As Xiaofan's words fell, and his true appearance was revealed, everything became understandable.
The Soul of Slaughter once said, "Ye Xiaofan left Yanhuang Soul without knowing where he went." With him, Li San, Lei Xiaolei, and others disappeared. So, it turns out...
Terrifying, such a terrifying guy.
Not only did he successfully evade the assassination order, but he fully infiltrated the Red Butterfly. Even if some already suspected, he managed to reach today without being found out.
"I have to say, I truly admire your courage. Such a pity. If I had someone like you to help me, the world would be ours sooner or later."
"It's just that I was forced, otherwise who would take such a big risk?" Xiaofan replied, indeed helplessly.
"I admire you greatly."
"I despise you deeply."
"I can give you the life you want."
"As long as you die here today, that's the life I want."
"So there's no room for negotiation? It's a real shame to kill someone as talented as you... Attack him."
"..."
A call to action, Xiaofan wanted to delay by another two minutes.
But there's no way around it, the fight has to happen eventually.
The wounds on his body were still bleeding, and Xiaofan couldn't free a hand to stop the bleeding first. Black Scorpion's poison was relentlessly trying to invade his body; if it wasn't for getting the antidote in advance, all of Xiaofan's team might have died here.
Amidst battle, the remaining assassins swarmed to pin down Xiaofan. Of course, Xiaofan had to run, utilizing his speed to maneuver around the opponents.
'Bang.'
Zhu Fan, who already saw through Xiaofan's intention, immediately intercepted him with two other people, knocking Xiaofan back.
The wounds kept multiplying. Xiaofan had to rely on his precise defensive instincts to dodge the attackers' moves and avoid fatal damage. However, even the accumulation of so many minor injuries could be considered a severe injury.
"Hurry up and kill him; he's just buying time. Yanhuang Soul's people might arrive any moment."
'Uh uh uh'
Suddenly, one of the assassins heard a strange noise, something was quickly flying towards him from behind. He immediately turned his head.
This is it...
'Shh.'
A toothpick quickly shot through the opponent's throat, and the whole person slowly knelt to the ground.
What is it? This was Li Kuo's drone returning and this time flying at an ultra-low altitude to disrupt the enemies' minds.
'Shh.'
A second one fell.
With this going, it's no pressure at all. Thinking thus, a third assassin also fell to Xiaofan.
"Don't mind those drones; they're harmless," Zhu Fan shouted after knocking down a drone with one hand.
"Really? Do you think those bombs from earlier were delivered by what?" As their numbers decreased, Xiaofan's movements gradually picked up speed.
"If you still had bombs, why wait until now? Everyone go!"
"You don't believe it? Then go on and try." Xiaofan's lips curled into a devious smile.
Li Kuo truly did him a great favor; who knew drones without lethal power could play such a massive role.
"It's hopeless now, Xiaofan. They're not afraid," Li Kuo said helplessly through the intercom, "If we had left just one or two bombs, it would've been great."
"Use gasoline; can't bomb, let's burn then. Can you do it, Han Shengjun?"
"Yes, very simple," Han Shengjun's voice came through the intercom, it seemed this guy's spirit was lifted despite being covered in wounds. "Give me two minutes. I'll burn them down."
"Then let's burn them down."
