Upon hearing this voice, Song Hailong's brows immediately furrowed.

What kind of question is that?

If they didn't blow it up, then who did?

The key point is, when were others allowed to interrupt during their conversation? Their tone was also very stiff, without the slightest respect!

A chill ran down Cheng Lei's spine.

That sound?

He instinctively turned around, and what he saw completely stunned him.

Corpses, corpses everywhere.

The nearly one hundred guards who had followed them lay sprawled on the ground.

Each person had a shocking wound on their neck, and blood was still flowing.

Nearly a hundred people are dead!

The dead zone was so quiet that not a single shot was fired.

An unprecedented sense of fear washed over him, like the sea, engulfing him completely.

Cheng Lei stared wide-eyed at the person wearing the demon mask in front of him, his mind blank, completely losing the ability to think.

Only one sentence echoed in my mind.

When did this guy arrive?

"Cousin?"

Song Hailong also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

He tried calling out, but received no response, so he turned around and instantly froze.

Chen Fan looked at the two of them.

He was also awakened by the sound of cannon fire. After listening to two shots, he determined the direction: it was towards Chenjiazhai.

He didn't know what had happened or why cannon fire was coming from the direction of Chenjiazhai, but staying in the base doing nothing wasn't his style. So, he took some time to leave Anshan City without alerting anyone else and headed here.

Then he saw a scene of flames soaring into the sky, and dozens of figures searching through the ruins of Chenjia Village. Instantly, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

no doubt,

If the people of the village hadn't moved to Chenjiabao, most of them would have been dead or injured by now, and very few would have survived.

Therefore, after the people in the village came out, he slaughtered them all, leaving only the two who seemed to be the leaders.

At this moment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"You bombed this village, didn't you? Answer me."

Chen Fan asked again.

Yes, yes.

Song Hailong said, trembling.

If this person could kill nearly a hundred people without them noticing, he could kill them effortlessly as well.

His intuition told him that this was a life-or-death question; admitting it would mean death, and denying it would mean an even faster death, after all, those two cannons were right there in front of him.

"Why bomb this village?"

Song Hailong was taken aback.

Cheng Lei's gaze fell on the bow behind Chen Fan, and he blurted out, "You, you're from Chen Family Village?"

"Pfft!"

A crisp sound.

Cheng Lei clutched his neck and slowly collapsed.

His eyes were filled with deep shock as he looked at Chen Fan.

Yes, this masked man must be the sharpshooter from Chenjia Village!

But according to Wang Xin, shouldn't this guy's strength be at the early stage of the Flesh Refining Realm?

In reality, this strength, is it just physical refinement? It's at least at the entry level of internal energy, or even the transformation level of internal energy!

"Thump!"

Cheng Lei's body crashed heavily to the ground, and he quickly lost consciousness.

"I'm asking you guys, not you asking me, you know?" Chen Fan turned his gaze from Cheng Lei's corpse to Song Hailong.

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Song Hailong nodded hurriedly, looking at Chen Fan, his body trembling like a leaf.

The murderer who killed Guan Dexi has been found, and he's right in front of us.

But he felt no joy at all; all he felt was endless regret.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have come in person. Since he already knew the murderer was from Chen Family Village, wouldn't it have been better to let the Awakened One handle it?

"Tell me, why did you bomb my village?"

Now that his identity had been exposed, Chen Fan stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

Song Hailong's pupils contracted sharply, then he smiled bitterly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you killed Guan Dexi, didn't you?"

Chen Fan did not answer.

Song Hailong sighed and said, "Guan Dexi is a member of the Guan family. I don't know what grudge you have against him, but killing him puts us in a very awkward position."

If we take Guan Dexi's body to Anshan City like this, we definitely won't be able to explain ourselves. He might even kill us with his brother's body. That's why I brought people here to capture you.

Unfortunately, we underestimated your strength, young brother. Now that we're in your hands, we have no choice but to do with you as you see fit.

"Why do you think I killed Guan Dexi?" Chen Fan asked.

Could there be some that slipped through the net?

Song Hailong gave a bitter smile and recounted what had happened.

"Young man, this is how it is. It's not that we want to make things difficult for you. My cousin, the one you just killed, remained unmoved after learning that you had stolen the bandit's mount. This shows he's an upright person. I wouldn't dare say I'm particularly virtuous, but if I knew about this, I would definitely make the same choice as my cousin. However..."

He sighed deeply, tears welling in his eyes. "But you killed Guan Dexi, and we have no way out. If we can't find the murderer, our chances of survival are slim. Sigh, if you want to kill me, then do it. I won't hate you."

Song Hailong closed his eyes, tears sliding down his cheeks.

He doesn't want to die.

But this person in front of me is so ruthless that begging for mercy will only backfire. It would be better to retreat in order to advance, appeal to his emotions and reason with him.

What if I survive?

Chen Fan frowned.

Life is truly unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xin had already told Cheng Lei about it beforehand.

However, even if Meng Yu had known about this that day, she probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to Cheng Lei, since in some ways, this person was a decent person.

Unfortunately, they have different positions.

He killed Guan Dexi to ensure his own survival and that of those around him.

The people of Songjiabao bombarded the village in an attempt to find him, but also so that they could survive.

There is no right or wrong.

Therefore, he will not be soft-hearted.

What troubled him was that many people in Songjiabao already knew about this matter. Even if he rushed over now and silenced everyone in the fort, he couldn't guarantee that the news wouldn't reach the Guan family's ears.

The truth will out eventually; the Guan family will find out sooner or later.

Moreover, he wouldn't do something so inhumane.

It's only a matter of time before those who awaken find Chenjiabao.

In that case.

A resolute glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. If that's the case, then let's compete with these Awakened Ones.

He also wanted to see how his current strength compared to these C-level Awakened Ones.

Let's start with the one surnamed Guan.

"I can let you go."

"!"

Song Hailong opened his eyes instantly, and asked with a mixture of surprise and trepidation, "Young brother, really? You're really willing to let me leave?"

Don't worry, after I go back, I will absolutely not mention what happened here to anyone. I will leave Songjiabao and go to a place where no one knows me to live out the rest of my life.

But you, young man, this matter will reach Guan Dehua's ears sooner or later. He won't let you off the hook, so you'd better be prepared.

Chen Fan sneered inwardly; this guy's acting skills were indeed remarkable.

Unfortunately, he firmly believed in one saying: mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

"My affairs are none of your concern. You should have the contact information for that awakened one, right?"

Song Hailong was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Now, give him a call and tell him that his brother is dead. Tell him to come to Songjiabao immediately and not to reveal any information about me, or you know what will happen to him."

Chen Fan brandished the dagger in his hand. "After you've done this, leave your phone behind, and you can leave."

"!"

Upon hearing this, Song Hailong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

The shrewd and calculating man immediately understood Chen Fan's intentions.

He planned to wait for Guan Dehua to come and then kill him.

It has to be said that this move was very clever, turning the tables and taking the initiative. But have you ever thought about it? Those are Awakened Ones!

No matter how strong you are as a martial artist, can you be more powerful than an awakened one?

Of course, he wouldn't remind Chen Fan of these things. As for why he couldn't wait for Guan Dehua to come over as soon as possible, after all, he had even lost his cousin in his efforts to find the murderer, and Song Family Fort had suffered a great loss of strength. Guan Dehua wouldn't make things too difficult for him.

"Alright, young man, I can do this for you, but... will you really keep your promise and let me go?"

He asked, still uneasy.

"You said it yourself, the only difference between us is our positions. You're not my enemy. Even if I let you go, what can you do to me with your strength?" Chen Fan sneered.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Song Hailong was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Yes, there's nothing I can do to you. But after you're killed by the Awakened, I'll definitely bring my men and wipe out your entire clan!

"Call him, but remember, don't try anything funny," Chen Fan said.

"No, no, that won't happen."

Song Hailong shakily took out his phone, opened his contacts in front of Chen Fan, found a name called Guan Dehua, tapped on it, and then consciously turned on speakerphone.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Hearing the voice, Song Hailong's heart jumped into his throat.

If it weren't for the menacing thugs watching him, he would have been extremely reluctant to make that call.

Chen Fan also took a deep breath.

"Beep...beep..."

A few seconds later, the call was answered, and a dignified voice came through, "Song Hailong, my time is precious. You'd better have something of value in what you say next, otherwise, I don't mind making your Song Family Fortress change its name."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Hailong's face turned ashen, and he was covered in sweat.

Well, what he was about to say was very valuable to the other person, but he was worried that it would be too sudden and the other person wouldn't be able to accept it.
