"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<..."Hmph, kid, even now, you're still putting on an act!"
"Do you really think you're so naive as to believe that you could control our crossbows with your mind last time? Don't be delusional!"
"Thinking back carefully, the last time the Prince of Zhenbei came in person, it was clearly to thoroughly investigate the matter of your uncle Fang Sihai. And yet, you dare to be so arrogant in front of the City Lord. Do you mean to say that your Fang family has already climbed up the high branch of the Prince of Zhenbei, and with the Prince of Zhenbei as your backer, you can run rampant and do whatever you want in Yanming City from now on?"
"Even if the Fang family offered to carry the shoes of the Prince of Zhenbei, the Prince of Zhenbei wouldn't accept them."
Fang Han's previous words and actions instantly drew a barrage of sarcastic remarks from the city lord Ye Zhong's subordinates, with each sharp word shooting at Fang Han like a dagger.
Ye Zhong's face was gloomy, as if it could drip water.
However, given his status, he felt it would be a loss of face for him to personally take action against Fang Han, this young upstart.
After a moment's thought, he raised his hand and pointed at one of his skilled men, ordering, "You, grab this kid first, and gag him tightly!"
The person who was called was a middle-aged strong man, with a burly and robust build, standing like a small mountain. His height was about the same as that of "Black-faced Tyrant" Zhou Chi.
He usually uses a pair of large hammers as weapons. He is quite skilled and has now reached the level of a beginner martial artist.
With his skills, he had already become a centurion in the city's garrison, commanding a large number of men.
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
The burly man accepted the order, his voice booming like a bell, making the ears of those around him ring.
He didn't even intend to use any weapons; he simply and casually hung the pair of imposing hammers firmly on the Victory Hook of his mount.
Immediately afterwards, he dismounted and strode aggressively toward Fang Han.
With each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
"Hmph, kid, you've got some nerve, daring to be so disrespectful to the city lord! Today, I, Leopard Brother, will teach you a lesson on how to behave!"
While shouting, the burly man moved with lightning speed, suddenly using a grappling technique to grab Fang Han's collar.
Judging from their posture, they planned to grab Fang Han, pin him to the ground, and thoroughly humiliate him.
However, Fang Han seemed oblivious to the menacing "leopard," standing motionless without moving, though his body trembled slightly.
Shockingly, he didn't even circulate his internal energy; relying solely on his physical strength, with a muffled "bang," he slammed "Leopard" away like a sack of potatoes.
He cultivated the Savage Body Refining Technique, making his physical body incredibly powerful.
The "leopard" drew a messy arc in the air, seemingly out of control as if it were flying through the clouds, and with a "whoosh," it flew several meters away.
Finally, with a "plop," it hung firmly on the branch of a big tree, swaying in the wind like a rag doll, looking quite comical.
The leopard was tall and strong, and the branch could not support him for long. With a crack, the branch broke, and he fell down, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
He tried to get up and lunge at Fang Han again, but he couldn't get up for a moment.
"Hmph, kid, I didn't expect you to actually have some skill. No wonder you're so arrogant all the time. But you should understand, this is my territory. You can't be arrogant in front of me!"
Upon seeing his subordinate make a fool of himself, Ye Chong's eyes widened in anger, as if they were about to spit fire, and then he suddenly raised his hand.
As soon as Ye Zhong made this move, his dozens of riders instantly understood and raised their crossbows in unison.
These crossbow bolts resembled a swarm of venomous snakes, ready to devour their prey, exuding a chilling aura.
“Last time you came with a hundred men, and all those crossbow bolts ended up falling to the ground with a clatter. Now, with only a few dozen of you, you are far from enough.”
Fang Han's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. The smile carried a hint of composure and disdain, as if the threat before him was utterly insignificant. "However, this time, I will not hold back. If you dare to shoot crossbow bolts at me, not only will they not harm me in the slightest, but they will also bounce back. Don't regret it then!"
"Fang Han, you're really good at putting on airs! Why don't you just say you're a peerless master of the Divine Sense Realm? It's utterly absurd!"
Ye Zhong snorted coldly, his voice filled with mockery and disdain.
In his view, Fang Han was just bluffing.
"I am indeed not at the Divine Sense Realm, but I have actually killed a few experts at the Divine Sense Realm."
Fang Han remained calm and spoke in a light tone, as if he were recounting something completely ordinary.
"Speaking without restraint, and utterly ignorant of one's own limitations!"
Hearing Fang Han's words, Ye Zhong felt even more that he was talking nonsense. His killing intent grew stronger and his eyes became colder. "Then I'll see what kind of extraordinary abilities you have. I'll see if you can be turned into a hedgehog in an instant under a hail of crossbow bolts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his dozens of men immediately aimed all their crossbow bolts at Fang Han.
The dense barrage of crossbow bolts, like a dark cloud, enveloped Fang Han, as if it would devour him at any moment.
In the past, if Fang's guards, including Old Xu, had seen such a scene, they would have been so nervous that their palms would have been sweating, their hearts would have been racing, and they would have wanted to rush forward to protect Fang Han immediately.
However, at this moment, they were all watching the commotion with ease, looking relaxed, as if the crisis before them did not exist at all.
Now, the Fang family knows that Fang Han is an incomparably noble and supreme guest elder of the Demon Suppression Division.
Compared to Fang Han, Ye Zhong, the city lord of Yanming City, was worlds apart in terms of status and position.
Moreover, Fang Han possesses the Supreme Demon-Suppressing Token, which alone allows him to directly mobilize the entire army of Yanming City, including Ye Zhong. His immense power is unimaginable.
Although Fang Han had strictly ordered the Fang family to keep a low profile in their external affairs and never to bully others by abusing their power.
But now that someone is openly bullying them at their doorstep, the Fang family naturally has no fear whatsoever.
In reality, Lao Xu and the others were more or less watching the show with a sense of schadenfreude.
In the past, Ye Zhong, the city lord of Yanming City, was a figure of great power and influence. But now, they only intend to watch Ye Zhong make a fool of himself.
"Ye Zhong, if you make a move against my Fang family today, you'll probably have to give up your position as city lord to someone else."
Despite the dense barrage of crossbow bolts aimed at him, Fang Han remained calm and composed.
"You asked for this."
Ye Zhong snorted coldly and was about to lower his raised hand.
The next moment, all the crossbow bolts in the hands of his men would be unleashed in a furious burst.
"Don't do it!"
But at that moment, a man on horseback rushed into the Fang family's residence.
