Boom!
The momentum of Ryuichi was suddenly unleashed, causing a whirlwind to whirl up, flipping over tables, chairs, and benches, and spilling bottles and glasses all over the floor.
Ryuichi's hands were lightning-fast as they reached for Xu Fan's neck, with a ruthlessness that seemed aimed to take Xu Fan's life in one move!
Swish!
Ryuichi's hands directly pierced through Xu Fan, and the whole figure of Xu Fan swayed slightly before disappearing, while another intact Xu Fan appeared not far from Ryuichi, looking at him with a face full of helplessness.
In that critical moment, Xu Fan had directly used his hidden card of the Dragon Elephant Art combined with the Luo Yan Step to evade Ryuichi's fierce strike.
In fact, the situation just now was not so urgent; Xu Fan had already discovered the identity of this Ryuichi, who was the target of this mission, Zhao Chenglong! In this West City, the only person sharing an identical predicament as Xu Fan was Zhao Chenglong, pursued all the way here by the Zhao Family's experts, and Xu Fan could not think of anyone else.
However, Xu Fan did not intend to make a move against Zhao Chenglong, nor even had any thoughts of speaking a word, since Xu Fan's troubles were already plenty without looking for more unnecessary trouble.
Yet, fate is indeed curious, for even though Xu Fan didn't want to provoke Zhao Chenglong, Zhao Chenglong actively sought out Xu Fan, not only drinking Xu Fan's wine but also wanting his life.
At this moment, Xu Fan sighed toward Zhao Chenglong, "I invited you to drink, you don't appreciate it, why do you still want to make a move against me?"
Even now, Xu Fan still didn't want to battle Zhao Chenglong. The reason is simple; life is hard for everyone, and why make things difficult for each other in desperate times? As for the treasures Zhao Chenglong might have, Xu Fan had no interest.
But Xu Fan was worried that Elder Xie or the Zhao Family's experts were secretly watching all of this, so Xu Fan couldn't directly tell Zhao Chenglong his intentions and could only speak indirectly.
However, at this moment, Zhao Chenglong glanced at Xu Fan with a continuous series of cold laughs.
"Invite me to drink? If I am not mistaken, you've already used your communication device to secretly summon your partners, haven't you? Isn't my head tempting enough for you?"
After a long time on the run, Zhao Chenglong's nerves were stretched to the limit, and at this moment, his eyes were filled with coldness toward Xu Fan, like a beast trapped in a desperate situation, ready to take the last bite of flesh from its opponent before death.
Xu Fan could only bitterly smile at Zhao Chenglong's demeanor.
The communication tool Zhao Tiancheng prepared for everyone in the base, Xu Fan hadn't even carried it, let alone done any sensitive actions earlier, afraid of Zhao Chenglong's misunderstanding. However, it now seemed Zhao Chenglong had indeed misunderstood long ago.
At this point, Zhao Chenglong had already become a startled bird, and no matter what Xu Fan did, Zhao Chenglong was bound to make a move against Xu Fan.
Although Xu Fan did not wish to engage Zhao Chenglong, it didn't mean that Xu Fan was afraid of him. At this moment, the bitter smile on Xu Fan's face gradually turned cold.
"Let me say this once more; I do not know you, nor do I wish to fight with you. If you want to leave, feel free, but if you desire a fight, I can accompany you."
Xu Fan is not a clay figure nor a Savior or Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even though Xu Fan doesn't want any entanglement with Zhao Chenglong, if Zhao Chenglong is adamant about delivering points to Xu Fan, Xu Fan won't refuse.
This time, Zhao Chenglong did not respond to Xu Fan but instead asked him a question, "Aren't you curious about how I recognized your identity?"
This question piqued Xu Fan's curiosity too. After entering the bar, Xu Fan kept a low profile without revealing he was from the base, yet Zhao Chenglong recognized his identity at a glance and even came over to ask for a drink.
"You scions of the Hidden World Families, even if we've never met, I can see through your identities at a glance. You were raised with a silver spoon, with endless resources from the start, living a life unattainable to ordinary people. Arrogant and aloof."
"Even miles apart, I can smell the stench of you that makes one nauseous!"
If Xu Fan heard these words in another place or time, he would have praised them, for Xu Fan also disliked the scions of these Hidden World Families, each looking down on others and seeing respecting others' dignity as nothing, as if being looked at by them was a great honor for ordinary people.
However, now that Xu Fan became the protagonist of these words, it was unacceptable for him.
If Xu Fan had a powerful background, why would he travel thousands of miles to this base to break through the Vajra Realm, targeted and troubled by everyone, labeled as a must-kill by Elder Mu and the others? Why would Xu Fan struggle countless times on the edge of death?
Xu Fan sighed helplessly, spread his hands toward Zhao Chenglong, and asked, "After listening to your words, I'm curious, how did you smell the nauseating stench from me miles away?"
"My surname is Xu. Have you ever heard of a Hidden Family with the surname Xu?"
"Moreover, you are surnamed Zhao. Strictly speaking, you should be the scion of a Hidden Family; you should be the one reeking of that stench, clearly noticeable miles away, right?"
A series of questions left Zhao Chenglong stunned.
The scions of Hidden Families usually carried a heavy arrogance, indeed not likable, but to say they reeked of a stench noticeable miles away was an exaggeration, merely Zhao Chenglong's rhetorical method.
Zhao Chenglong assumed Xu Fan was a scion of a Hidden Family, mainly because he noticed Xu Fan when he arrived in West City. Zhao Chenglong himself had been a student at the base before, so he recognized Xu Fan and the others at a glance.
Elder Xie's strength was terrifying, far beyond Zhao Chenglong's ability to contend with, and Li Hua and the others were hard to deal with as a team, so Zhao Chenglong focused on Xu Fan, intending to kill him to vent his anger.
But now, hearing Xu Fan wasn't a Hidden Family scion and being questioned with his words, Zhao Chenglong was a bit confused.
"Though my surname is Zhao, it's not my original name; it's a name bestowed upon joining the Zhao Family!"
"Even if you are not a Hidden Family scion, you clearly came here to kill me this time, so I still cannot let you go!"
The anger on Zhao Chenglong's face dissipated, but the murderous intent surged within him.
