Obtaining Top Art on Family's Extermination Night

She even had the gall to be a little cheeky.

She pouted.

"It’s not like I have incredible Martial Arts like you."

She froze for a moment after saying it.

She looked up at Fang Shuwen, and her expression seemed to stiffen as well. Feeling a little unnerved, she was just about to say she was only joking when she heard Fang Shuwen speak.

"Then when I have time, I’ll teach you some Martial Arts."

"Huh?"

Fang Lingxin stared, dumbfounded.

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to a little girl like you?"

Fang Shuwen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Fang Lingxin immediately felt a little embarrassed.

"That’s true."

’But she couldn’t help but wonder. She always felt that Fang Shuwen treated her very differently.’

’When a man is inexplicably kind to a woman, what could be the reason?’

’If it were anyone else, there would be no doubt—he’d definitely be after something.’

’But Fang Lingxin knew that Fang Shuwen’s intentions toward her weren’t like that. She couldn’t see even the slightest hint of interest in his eyes.’

’And for such a handsome man with superior Martial Arts, she, as a young woman, felt no stirrings of affection whatsoever.’

’Her feelings toward Fang Shuwen were strange and hard to describe.’

’It was as if she felt a natural closeness to him. She would be happy just seeing him, but when she actually got near, she would inexplicably feel a little afraid of him.’

’The feeling was a bit like how she felt about her father, Fang Mingxuan. Every time she saw her father, she would be delighted, but if she got too close, she’d worry about being scolded.’

’But this man was clearly only a few years older than her. Why did she have the strange feeling she was facing her own father?’

’She really didn’t know where this inexplicable feeling came from.’

As her mind was racing with these thoughts, Fang Shuwen suddenly spoke.

"You rest first... I’ll go take care of this."

Turning to look at the group of people still besieging Lin Fan, Fang Shuwen’s face gradually grew impatient.

Lin Fan hadn’t broken through their encirclement. And although the crowd was attacking him, they didn’t dare to face him head-on, fearing they’d be wiped out in one go by the Purple Nether Sword.

They had already launched several rounds of Hidden Weapons, but none had truly managed to do anything to Lin Fan.

They couldn’t defeat Lin Fan, and Lin Fan couldn’t kill them. The two sides were locked in a strange stalemate. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

But all the clamor was incredibly annoying.

While besieging Lin Fan, these people were also keeping an eye on Fang Shuwen. Seeing him suddenly walk toward them, they immediately grew wary.

They had all seen how Fang Shuwen had killed five men with casual ease just moments before.

Now, seeing him suddenly approaching, their hearts jumped into their throats. If the temptation of the Purple Nether Sword wasn’t so great, they would never want to clash with an expert of his caliber.

Fang Shuwen changed his stride and cut straight into the crowd. In a flash, he reached out, grabbed a man by the neck, and lifted him into the air.

WHOOSH. The crowd instantly scattered.

This unexpectedly revealed Lin Fan, who had been trapped in the middle. Holding the Purple Nether Demon Sword, Lin Fan also saw Fang Shuwen.

Fang Shuwen looked at the man in his grasp and asked with a smile,

"Was it you who just ordered your men to kill me and capture that young lady?"

The man froze, only now understanding why he had fallen into Fang Shuwen’s hands.

He wanted to argue, but before he could even open his mouth, Fang Shuwen had already crushed his throat, killing him.

This scene made everyone’s heart clench. Someone immediately stepped forward.

"Just who are you?"

Fang Shuwen glanced at the man, then looked around at the others and gave a slight cupped-fist salute.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Fang Shuwen."

The man’s brow furrowed tightly. He fell into the same state as Boss Geng before, feeling that the name was familiar yet distant, as if he had heard it somewhere...

But his memory was probably not as good as Boss Geng’s, and he couldn’t recall it right away.

But then he heard someone beside him gasp.

"The Demon Evil God!

"You’re that Evil Gods and Demons!!"

"What did you say?"

Fang Shuwen froze, his face full of confusion. A bad premonition surfaced in his heart.

However, the man who had spoken didn’t answer. He just trembled as he looked at Fang Shuwen, then suddenly turned and ran.

This scene left Fang Shuwen completely baffled. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d just been insulted.

But by now, the others had also realized who he was.

In an instant, all their faces turned deathly pale.

And those who hadn’t caught on yet saw the looks on their companions’ faces and knew something was wrong.

WHOOSH. Before Fang Shuwen could say another word, the whole group scattered in all directions like frightened birds and beasts.

Someone even shouted as they ran,

"The Demon Evil God... He’s Fang Shuwen, the one who killed hundreds of experts outside Flying Snow City!!"

One man, in his haste and panic, missed a step and fell, bloodying his head. He paid it no mind, scrambling back to his feet and continuing to flee with a limp, as if being even a fraction of a second slower would mean leaving his life behind forever.

Fang Shuwen really couldn’t resist. He activated his North Nether Divine Technique, and a Jianghu person who was fleeing in disgrace was instantly pulled into his grasp.

The man looked at Fang Shuwen, his face a mask of despair.

"Please... don’t kill me!!

"I’ll never dare to try and snatch the Purple Nether Sword again!!!"

"..."

Fang Shuwen tried his best to appear amicable. After all, as long as they weren’t trying to kill him or harm Fang Lingxin, he had no intention of being ruthless.

He, Fang Shuwen, was a reasonable person.

It was just as he had taught Fang Lingxin earlier... when roaming the Jianghu, if you encounter someone who wants to kill you or bears you ill will, you kill them.

But in a situation like this, where they weren’t targeting him specifically, Fang Shuwen wouldn’t actually stoop to killing them.
