Chapter 251: Who Is The Murderer?
Fu Jialiang's expression was heartbreaking, and he was constantly shaking. His anger and fear were expressed in an instant, "Brother Wu Fan was killed by someone, and his body is still warm. We need to avenge him!"
Yang Tian's killing intent skyrocketed, and the strong aura from his body blew his robe away. Inadvertently he exposed his skin, which nobody had seen before. Not only was it pale, but it also looked bloodless!
Fu Jialiang lost his breath, and he widened his eyes in shock when he looked at the leader. Why would the leader's skin be like that? It was almost the same color as zombies'! It was horribly pale.
"Wu Fan?" Jiang Hongyu who was beside Yang Tian frowned and said in confusion, "Isn't he the one you've been talking about? The phase-3 evolutionary, who's only loyal to you? How could he have been killed?"
Hearing Jiang Hongyu's voice, Fu Jialiang suddenly realized that his eyes were too direct. He quickly lowered his head and dared not look at it again. At the same time, he also cast a curious look on Jiang Hongyu. Who was that person?
Although the leader had arranged people such us Zhou Zhu to go out and search for evolutionaries, he was a lone man, and he would often leave the base without a trace. It was the first time he had brought someone to the base personally.
"Show me the way," Yang Tian's voice suppressed the rising anger. He did not notice the minuscule differences in Fu Jialiang's facial expression as his inner feeling were in turmoil.
"Yes." Fu Jialiang hurried to lead the way, but he became worried.
The trio reached Wu Fan's residence, which was crowded with people. A commotion had broken out, and all the evolutionaries had gathered. The commoners had also come to take a look. But they all shut up the moment that Yang Tian appeared. At the same time, the crowd automatically opened a path. Everyone bowed their heads in fear of making the leader angry.
Wu Fan's body lied on the table. He was dead. The terrible wound on his throat had yet to heal, and the medicine concoction was still wet.
The phase-3 evolutionary, with the superior position and power, was currently lying dead. His death was so strange that it only caused regret.
"Leader! Brother Wu Fan has been killed!" Zhou Zhu said with hate and reddened eyes.
"Was the wound a fatal one?" Yang Tian pointed at the wound in the throat and asked in a cold tone.
Nobody could blame Yang Tian for asking, since that wound was the most obvious one on Wu Fan's body, and it was still bleeding.
"Yes!" Zhou Zhu answered. "A man came to the base yesterday, and he defeated Brother Wu Fan last night. That wound was caused by him."
When Zhou Zhu finished, Yang Tian suddenly turned his head, and his eyes behind the mask emitted his thick killing intent. "You said that an evolutionary came to the base and defeated Wu Fan?"
Zhou Zhu was scared by Yang Tian's aura and nearly stumbled. However, he quickly stabilized himself and hurriedly said, "Yes! It was an evolutionary! We went according to the plan to reduce their temper. Who would have expected that he was a ranker in the phase-1 evolutionary list? We were afraid that he was going to destroy the base. Unexpectedly, he had broken through to phase-2, so he escaped from the room last night, and he even defeated Brother Wu Fan. That's how he died!"
Zhou Zhu deliberately withheld Chu Han's name as he was afraid that the leader would give up taking revenge, as the military was searching for Chu Han and they may come and find trouble with the leader. The, their efforts would have been for naught.
Zhou Zhu and Fu Jialiang's ultimate goal was to kill Chu Han, but since they were powerless to do so, they had to use the leader to do the dirty job. That's why they orchestrated the whole thing.
"Where is that man now?" Yang Tian kept asking. Due to his wrath, he didn't notice Zhou Zhu's unnatural look. At that moment, he only wanted to find the one who killed Wu Fan and tear him into a thousand pieces.
"He went to the monolith. We couldn't block him when he defeated Brother Wu Fan," Zhou Zhu hurried to say with a resentful expression. "He was previously in the phase-1 list. No matter how good his ranking was, he's now a phase-2 evolutionary, so he was anxious to participate in the assessment. It hasn't been that long, and maybe he has yet to come out!"
"What characteristics does he have?" Yang Tian had already decided to kill him.
After listening to Yang Tian's question, the joy in Zhou' Zhus eyes flickered, but he looked down to hide it. He looked down to say respectfully, "He is normal, but his weapon is extraordinary. He carries a huge black axe. Its height is the same as a man's. Besides, it should be a super large and two-handed weapon."
"This is an obvious feature. It seems that this man is not weak as he can handle such a big axe." Jiang Hongyu touched his chin, and then he looked at Yang Tian and said, "It's unknown for how long that man will stay there. Without further ado, I will go and catch him since you can't enter."
"Good."Yang Tian nodded, and the voice was so gloomy, "Save him, I want him fresh."
"Okay. Trust me." Jiang Hongyu rushed to the monolith when he finished talking.
Jiang Hongyu's speed was so fast that everyone was shocked. Fu Jialiang was unwilling to look at Jiang Hongyu's back. Although Wu Fan was dead, the leader had brought another powerful man back. Fu Jialiang's position hadn't changed in the least!
When Jiang Hongyu left, Yang Tian suddenly thought of something, and his tone was full of doubts, "How did a phase-2 evolutionary defeat Wu Fan?"
As everyone knew, Wu Fan was a phase-3 evolutionary, and a strong one at that. Most of the phase-3 evolutionaries were not his opponents, let alone a mere phase-2. At that moment, Yang Tian thought of Zhou Zhu's words and his anger subsided a little.
Zhou Zhu was scared, and then he hurried to explain, "He must have used underhanded methods. Brother Wu Fan was fighting style was direct, but his opponent was a villain. Yes, he must have applied poison on the edge of his weapon!"
"What if the wound on the neck was not the fatal one?" Fu Jialiang suddenly interrupted Zhou Zhu, his eyes flashing with an unclear look.
Zhou Zhu looked at Fu Jialiang with an incredible look on his face. There was only one meaning in his eyes, 'What are you talking about? That's different from what we had planned!"
