"Brother Hong! Your brother is here! Hahaha!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. Jiang Chao, leaning on his cane, entered the private room with two people.
"Jiang Chao! It's good that you're here! Please sit!" Hong Laoda and Ma Lao exchanged a glance, then immediately stood up and said to Jiang Chao.
"Brother Hong! You could have just called if there was anything. Why the lavish banquet? This makes me feel quite uneasy!" Jiang Chao sat down, glanced at Ma Lao, and then said.
"Jiang Chao! I'm doing this to thank you, brother. If it weren't for you back then, I wouldn't have been able to secure such a large territory in the provincial capital. Come, I'll toast you!" Hong Laoda poured Jiang Chao a glass of wine and then raised his cup.
"Brother Hong is too kind. This territory in the provincial capital rightfully belongs to you, Brother Hong." Jiang Chao didn't stand on ceremony, directly picked up his wine cup, and clinked it with Hong Laoda.
"Jiang Chao! As you said, this territory in the provincial capital rightfully belongs to me! Today, Big Brother won't refuse. Thank you, brother, for being so magnanimous! I'll toast you again!" After speaking, Hong Laoda poured Jiang Chao another glass of wine.
"Brother! This wine is a bit strong! I... I don't quite understand what you mean?" Jiang Chao picked up the wine cup, then suddenly put it down, looking at Hong Laoda.
"Brother! Then I'll be direct. I gave you that piece of land back then, and now I want it back. Today's meal is considered Big Brother's farewell drink for you! Big Brother will drink first!" Hong Laoda raised his cup and drained it.
"Heh heh!" Jiang Chao chuckled, suddenly looking at Hong Laoda, then at the elder beside Hong Laoda, and then burst into laughter, "Hong Laoda! For so long, I've treated you like an elder brother. Today, you want to send me on my way? On what grounds? Just because of this old geezer?"
"One old geezer like me is more than enough." Ma Lao chuckled coldly from the side. *Swish*... A long sword instantly appeared in his hand, and a cold glint shot towards Jiang Chao's throat.
*Clang*... Jiang Chao raised his hand, and the cane in his hand directly deflected the opponent's sword. With his other hand, he reached out and picked up the wine cup, smiling coldly, "Brother Hong! Thank you for this drink. However, the person you found isn't that great! With just these skills, you dare to show off!"
After speaking, Jiang Chao tilted his head back and drank the wine.
"Arrogant! Watch how I kill you today!" As he spoke, Ma Lao's aura intensified. *Swish*... The long sword in his hand pressed down on Jiang Chao with immense power.
"Brother!" Jiang Chao was startled and exclaimed.
*Clang*... Suddenly, a surge of energy flew over, and the sword in Ma Lao's hand was instantly knocked away. *Bang*, it pierced the opposite wall.
A figure appeared beside Jiang Chao in an instant. It was Lu Fan!
"Hmph! You think you can just kill my people whenever you please?" Lu Fan said with a cold snort.
"Kid! You are Lu Fan!" Ma Lao's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Hong Laoda's face was even more unsightly, as if he had eaten something foul. He knew very well that if Jiang Chao didn't die today, he himself would be the one to die.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Divine Calculation Sect, the one that's everywhere from south to north of the mountains! I wonder which Ma you are now?" Lu Fan asked Ma Lao with a playful smile.
"You don't need to know anything!" Ma Lao's expression turned cold. *Whoosh*... He threw a punch towards Lu Fan's face.
*Slap*... Lu Fan raised his hand and grabbed Ma Lao's fist, a charming smile playing on his lips. You don't want me to know, hehe! I'll know exactly what I want to know! *Slap*... Lu Fan's other hand landed on Ma Lao's head.
"Ugh... Ah...!" Ma Lao cried out in surprise, his face contorted in a look of pain.
*Whoosh*... Seeing this, Hong Laoda got up and fled towards the outside.
*Slap*... Jiang Chao instantly appeared behind Hong Laoda and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Brother! Don't rush off, we haven't finished our drinks yet!"
"Brother! I was wrong, I was wrong. It was all Ma Lao, he instigated me to do this!" Hong Laoda immediately knelt down.
*Bang*! Lu Fan threw Ma Lao aside with a flick of his hand, a hint of killing intent on his face. The Ma family was truly like a cockroach that couldn't be exterminated. In such a short time, they had regrouped, and the Divine Calculation Sect had risen again. This Ma Lao was the new Master Ma the Ninth, specifically sent to infiltrate the underground forces in the provincial capital.
"Damn it! I don't believe I can't get rid of your Ma family!" Lu Fan suddenly stood up and turned to walk out.
"Brother! How should we handle this person?" Jiang Chao shouted anxiously from behind.
"Kill him!" Lu Fan simply threw out two words and left the private room. Master Ma the Ninth was already crippled, and Jiang Chao would handle it properly.
Two days later, Lu Fan appeared at the foot of Jigong Mountain. The tourists at the foot of the mountain were as usual. Fortune-telling stalls lined up one after another. Lu Fan parked his car in the parking lot and strode towards the mountain.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*... From different directions not far away, several people rushed towards the mountain.
Lu Fan grabbed the ground with his palm, *swish*... a few small stones flew into his hand, *patter patter patter*... the stones flew out again.
Ah...
Ah...
Ah...
Several people suddenly fell to the ground. The stones had shattered their dantian and qi sea, rendering them completely crippled. Bystanders saw people fall, but that was all. Tourists continued to tour, and vendors continued to do business. In this day and age, doing good deeds easily comes with a price, so very few people were willing to take the risk.
Lu Fan strode up the mountain, and when he reached the halfway point, he left the mountain path and entered the forest, heading towards the back mountain.
*Clang clang clang*... Before long, the sounds of chaotic weapon clashes could be heard from the back mountain.
Half an hour later, Lu Fan appeared in front of a large red courtyard. This courtyard was hidden within the mountain forest, making it very difficult to find from the outside. The courtyard gate was marked: Japanese Invader Martial Arts Academy.
"Hmph! They've really buried themselves deep! They've even opened a martial arts academy here. No wonder so many Japanese invaders keep appearing." Lu Fan became even angrier and kicked open the courtyard gate with a *bang*!
"Kill him..."
"Kill him..."
Suddenly, several voices came from different directions, and at the same time, over a dozen figures charged towards Lu Fan.
*Whoosh*... Nearly a hundred people also rushed out of the martial arts academy, their roars echoing through the forest.
"They've all come! And just in time..." A cruel smile appeared on Lu Fan's lips.
...
Inside Huarong Mansion, Hua Laoda almost dropped his phone when he received the call, "What!? You... you've caused such a huge mess, and you want us to clean up the aftermath? How are we supposed to clean it up?"
"Hua Laoda! Do you believe I can have the old man send over a few missiles and then say it was a failed test of the 'Scud' missile that landed on the mountain?" Lu Fan pouted and hung up the phone.
"This is... this is too outrageous! He's just... just a murderer!" Hua Laoda was so angry he almost smashed his phone.
