"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..."
<...The woman felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer in her lower back. A sharp pain instantly spread throughout her body. She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and fell straight to the ground, her limbs stiff and unable to move at all.
Fang Han's gaze was icy as he slowly walked to Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun, who were lying on the ground. A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he coldly said, "You two, father and daughter, really value your lives like gold. In order to avoid dealing with those rampant demonic beasts, you actually abandoned Tianyi City, left Tianyuan County, and even planned to go to Yanlong Kingdom. What audacity and deep scheming you have!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and the oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire area.
It was as if the entire mountaintop of Tianyi City was under the tight protection of his powerful divine sense, and no slightest movement could escape his perception.
“Mr. Fang, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please be merciful and give me one last chance. Tomorrow, no, right now, I will take these trusted men and go to exterminate the demonic beasts. I have already sent people to investigate and found out that most of those demonic beasts came from the Yin-Yang Mountains.”
Ignoring the blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, Wu Tian hurriedly wiped it away, then his knees buckled and he knelt down with a thud. Like a stray dog, he crawled to Fang Han's side on all fours, pleading with his face full of pleas.
Fang Han remained calm, his gaze sweeping over Wu Tian. He said indifferently, "Exterminate the demonic beasts? Hmph, do you think I need a piece of trash like you? You don't even have the courage to face them head-on, yet you dream of leading a group to exterminate them. It's utterly delusional!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian was struck dumb, instantly filled with despair. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror and helplessness.
However, in his despair, he glanced at Wu Hanchun, seemingly unintentionally, and the deep meaning in his eyes seemed to be giving her daughter a hint.
Wu Hanchun was quick-witted and immediately understood. She raised her head and said in a pleading yet seductive voice, "Mr. Fang, as long as you release my father and me, I... I am willing to be your woman, to serve you for the rest of my life, and to be at your beck and call."
Her voice was soft and melodious, with a unique charm, but at this moment, the arrogant and domineering aura of the past could no longer be found.
Upon hearing this, Fang Han's lips curled into a mocking sneer, and he coldly said, "You're nothing but a woman who's been slept with by the Marquis of Champion. In my eyes, you're nothing but a used-up flower. I have no interest in you."
"you……"
Wu Hanchun was almost speechless.
At this moment, Wu Tian's dozens of confidants, seeing that the situation was not good, also knelt down in front of Fang Han, nodding their heads vigorously, and said urgently, "Mr. Fang, we were coerced by Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun to leave. Please don't kill us. We are willing to follow you and fight the monsters together to do our part for Tianyi City."
Fang Han's gaze swept over the crowd, his expression cold and stern. He slowly said, "Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun deserve to die. If you want to live, kill them, hang their heads at the gate of Tianyi City, and post a notice to expose their crimes to the public, so that everyone can see the consequences of betraying Tianyi City."
His words made his intention to make an example of someone to warn others self-evident.
"yes!"
The dozens of elite soldiers of the city defense army responded in unison. Then, they quickly stood up and, like a pack of fierce cheetahs, surrounded Wu Tian.
Upon seeing this, Wu Tian was shocked and his face turned ashen.
He scrambled to his feet, his fingers trembling as he pointed at his dozens of elite men, shouting hoarsely, "I...I am your master! Are you plotting a rebellion? Have you forgotten who feeds you and who gives you wealth and honor?"
The leading soldier said coldly, "Wu Tian, if you were a city lord leading us to resist the demonic beasts and protect Tianyi City, then you would indeed be our master, and we would be loyal to you and follow you to the death. But now, you are a coward who only knows how to run away. What you and your daughter Wu Hanchun have done has truly let down the people of Tianyi City, and you deserve to die!"
Enraged, Wu Tian's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He suddenly circulated his true energy, preparing to unleash a sharp sword aura to kill the dozens of elite city defense soldiers.
However, Fang Han merely flicked his sleeve, and a finger strike shot out like lightning, instantly hitting Wu Tian's pressure point. Wu Tian felt a numbness throughout his body, as if he were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
Soon, under the flashing swords of the city's defense soldiers, Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun became two headless corpses, their blood flowing gushing onto the ground, a horrifying sight.
However, Fang Han did not return to Tianyi City with the dozens of city defense soldiers. Instead, he flashed and flew towards Yin-Yang Mountain, which is located at the border of Tianyi City and Yanming City, as his sword transformed into a streak of light.
Recently, monsters have been rampant in Tianyi City. All signs indicate that something strange happened in Yin Yang Mountain, which caused these monsters to emerge and wreak havoc on Tianyi City.
He decided to go to Yin Yang Mountain to find out the truth and completely eliminate the threat of the monsters.
