Chapter 1300: The Death of Li Hua
"Everything except underwear?"
Upon hearing Xu Fan's tyrannical words, Li Hua was completely dumbfounded, while Feng Wu, who was constantly slapping herself, was also filled with shame.
Xu Fan's actions were not aimed at obtaining anything from them, but were blatantly humiliating them! Grinding their dignity into the ground!
Seeing Li Hua hesitate, Xu Fan slapped Li Hua's face directly.
Slap!
The crisp sound was pleasing, and the burning pain awoke the bewildered Li Hua, who looked at Xu Fan's sharp gaze, feeling like crying but without tears.
Originally, today, guided by Elder Xie, coming here and encountering Xu Fan and Zhao Chenglong, Li Hua and the others felt blessed by the heavens. Zhao Chenglong was seriously injured, Xu Fan's spiritual power was exhausted, Elder Xie wasn't present, Zhao Family members weren't around, just a mere Xu Fan, wasn't he at the mercy of the three of them?
However, Xu Fan's slap completely awakened Li Hua.
Li Hua was not blessed by the heavens but cursed by hell! At this moment, Li Hua felt surrounded by deep malice!
Who was Li Hua? A proud son of the Li Family! In the base, aside from a few individuals, Li Hua could be said to be of an overlord level existence! No one dared offend!
But today, Li Hua was humiliated by Xu Fan like this, not only having to slap himself but also having to undress! Such humiliation, Li Hua could never have imagined in the past!
However, now Li Hua had no choice but to follow Xu Fan's orders, Zhao Chenglong had fled, Zhao Family members weren't around, Elder Xie wasn't here, only the three of them who had become fish on a platter and Xu Fan were present.
Now, Li Hua could only describe the situation of the three of them with one phrase: shouting to the heavens unheeded, crying to the earth unheard! Feeling like crying but without tears!
Soon, two hundred slaps had been finished, Li Hua stripped completely save for a pair of briefs, standing trembling in the wind, and even the unconscious Long Qing wasn't spared from ending up naked.
Feng Wu fared slightly better, but only slightly, being a woman, she was allowed to keep two pieces of clothing.
A pile of clothing, including a heap of useless items, was shattered by Xu Fan's spiritual power with a wave of his hand, turning into powder carried away by the wind.
Having dealt with Li Hua and the others, Xu Fan didn't give them another look, turning away and chasing in the direction of Zhao Chenglong.
Xu Fan must know what fate Zhao Chenglong would meet, and if possible, he wanted to lend Zhao Chenglong a hand, at least, to return the Spiritual Snake to him.
The items that were deemed treasures by Li Hua and others, even Elder Xie, things for which they would fight desperately, were insignificant to Xu Fan.
No matter how precious the treasure, it could not surpass the importance of a friend. Xu Fan's relationship with Zhao Chenglong, though not friendship, was not enmity either, extraordinarily strange.
…
In a room, Elder Xie sat on a chair, leisurely playing with his phone, displaying an air of light breeziness, as if he had everything under control.
Indeed, Elder Xie had already calculated the situation and made thorough preparations before setting off.
He had learned Xu Fan's location by secretly tampering with his clothes, sticking a little gadget onto them; for a Zhiwei Realm expert, placing something on Xu Fan was a trivial matter.
When he learned that Xu Fan and Zhao Chenglong were engaged in a pursuit-battle, Elder Xie immediately provided Li Hua and the others with Xu Fan's location, instructing them to "assist" Xu Fan.
Regarding Xu Fan's abilities, although Elder Xie was seeing Xu Fan for the first time, he had heard the name Xu Fan countless times from Old Mu's mouth, being third on the Earth List, learning a Mysterious Rank Battle Technique within an hour, and killing Zhiwei Realm's Elder Yu with one move...
Therefore, Elder Xie never worried that Xu Fan could be defeated; talk of close protection was just empty words, merely an attempt to control Xu Fan's actions.
Dispatching Li Hua and the others, Elder Xie had no good intentions, but anticipated that Xu Fan would definitely defeat Zhao Chenglong, obtain treasures, and then kill Li Hua and the others!
As long as Xu Fan acted this way, although Xu Fan could shift the blame onto Zhao Chenglong, Elder Xie could hold evidence, gaining leverage over Xu Fan, to use at critical moments.
At the same time, Xu Fan would surely not hand the treasure over to the Zhao Family, and then Elder Xie could pretend to help Xu Fan manage the background of Li Hua and the others to acquire the treasures for himself.
This plan was a two birds with one stone strategy.
Of course, with the unpredictable situation, not everything could go according to Elder Xie's plan, so he had arranged contingencies.
At this moment, Elder Xie counted on his fingers, a smile curved at the corner of his mouth, "Calculating the time, people from the Zhao Family should have arrived too?"
…
As Xu Fan left, the expressions on Li Hua and Feng Wu's faces turned vicious instantly.
Proud children of Hidden World Families, yet humiliated this way by a mere ant? No one could tolerate such a thing!
At this moment, Li Hua spoke icily to Feng Wu, "We need not be disheartened! Even if Xu Fan comprehended a Mysterious Rank Battle Technique and acquired a Divine Weapon treasure, he's merely basking in temporary glory!"
"Today he can stand high and mighty, but in the future, all it would take is a flick of our fingers, and we can send him back to where he belongs!"
Contrary to Li Hua's expectation, Feng Wu didn't retort aggressively but instead fixed her gaze intensely on Li Hua, speaking chillingly to him, "You are not to mention today's events to anyone else!"
"And! Turn around!"
Only then did Li Hua realize the inappropriateness of staring at a woman clothed only in underwear.
He nodded, turned around, yet still mouthed fiercely, "Naturally, when we return to the family, I'll say that punk stole our treasure, and once the family moves, that boy will undoubtedly die!"
"How can you be certain that the family will act against him?"
Seemingly chilled, Feng Wu walked to Li Hua's side, leaned against his shoulder, her bare skin rubbing against his, causing Li Hua to shudder involuntarily.
This Feng Wu, was she trying to use her beauty to entice him into keeping today's matters silent?
Li Hua felt a burst of joy and had not yet turned to embrace Feng Wu, when he felt a piercing pain in his back, and his vision darkened, overwhelmed by boundless excruciating pain.
Before the vivid world faded into darkness completely, Li Hua vaguely heard Feng Wu's icy, manic voice, "Only if you die will your family certainly act against him, and only with your death can this matter remain unknown to anyone."
