Chapter 93: Escaping Fame

  "Gasp!"

  A flying wooden board pierced Xiao Yan's body, directly penetrating his torso. Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth, staining the memory card in his hand red.

  Things were too sudden, Xiao Yan looked at the wooden board on his body in a daze, and then he dared not to believe that he turned his head towards the outside of the door. He saw Yang Fan walking in slowly with a cold face, and his assistant Shi Tou was still standing at the door.

  "Clang!" Li Meng drew out the long yellow blade beside him, his face looking unpleasant as he met Yang Fan's arrival. As Yang Fan approached, he continuously retreated. Li Meng didn't dare to make a big show, nor did he escape; in front of Yang Fan, any over-aggressive move would only hasten his death.

  Yang Fang's face was icy as he walked up to Xiao Yan, snatched the memory card from his hand and crushed it into powder with two fingers.

  "Where is the backup?" Yang Fan asked Xiao Yan in a gentle voice, still as calm and gentle as usual.

  "Cough...cough..." Xiao Yan spat out a large mouthful of black blood, but still smiled wryly and said: "Didn't think I'd still get caught by you."

  "Every time you come, I know, but considering our past relationship, I didn't make a move." Yang Fan pulled out a dozen paper towels and gently wiped away the bloodstains from Xiao Yan's mouth corner, just like his neighborly uncle would. But he couldn't wipe it clean, instead, more and more appeared.

  "Cough, cough... past feelings... Yang Fan, you're still as hypocritical as ever. If you didn't want to destroy the evidence, you would have made a move on me long ago!" Xiao Yan said with difficulty, his face growing paler and his voice weaker.

  Yang Fan adjusted his black-framed glasses and didn't respond to his words, instead asking expressionlessly: "Where's the backup?"

  "Backup... of course I have one, but I won't tell you... Hmph!"

  A mouthful of blood mist sprayed directly onto Yang Fan's face, dyeing the lenses of his glasses red. However, Xiao Yan also fell backwards onto the sofa chair because of this and immediately lost consciousness.

  Yang Fan took off his glasses, pulled out a handkerchief and carefully wiped them clean before putting them back on. Only then did he look at Li Mang, but it was a long time of silence.

  Li Mang gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, but under Yang Fan's gaze, he felt powerless. The opponent was simply too strong, and perhaps only Jing Long at its peak could match up to him. But now, Jing Long was less than 20% of its original strength, and sending it out would only be a futile sacrifice.

  "If I tell you now that you've misunderstood, would you believe me?" Yang Fan asked.

  It seems that no matter when, Yang Fan always has this gentle and amiable appearance, but Li Meng feels especially unfamiliar, the hairs on his body standing on end, with a chill running down his back and the soles of his feet. What kind of mind can make someone appear like this?

  But now it's a matter of life and death, he can't help but calm down, forcing a smile: "Of course I believe, this Xiao Yan is seriously ill, forgot to take medicine and ran out here talking nonsense."

  Yang Fan gazed at him steadily, a smile finally emerging after a long time, seemingly very pleased, and not minding the dirt, he sat down beside Xiao Yan's corpse, lit a cigarette for himself, and once again offered it to Li Mang, asking: "Want one?"

  A few days ago, Yang Fan also asked Li Meng this question. At that time, Li Meng firmly refused and said that it was not good for martial artists to touch this thing.

  This time, Li Mang accepted it, lit one for himself, and took a deep drag, holding the smoke in his lungs for a long time without exhaling. Smoking is really not good, Li Mang didn't like this habit, but sometimes it could indeed calm the unease in one's heart and make one feel more at ease.

  "There are many talented people in Yan Huang Academy who can be my secretary, but I didn't choose them. Instead, I brought you in from outside. Do you know the reason?" Yang Fan asked, exhaling smoke expressionlessly.

  "Because I was an ordinary person, because I'm a fool." Li Mang self-deprecatingly said, taking advantage of the smoke's cover, his gaze probed the distance to the back door.

  "It's always fine, you'll never get entangled in these meaningless disputes, it's cruel, it can make people's hearts numb and unfeeling." Yang Fan shook his head.

  "What a pity, I've become an ability user and escaped your control, so I'm destined to die, am I?" Li Mang asked with a smile.

  Yang Fan shook his head and said, "Gan Fenghua was indeed killed by someone I hired, Xiao Yan also got involved in the same thing, but Liu Junshen wasn't sent to kill you by me. Moreover, I'm not a subordinate of Chi You, and before this, I didn't even plan on getting rid of you."

  Li Meng just silently smoked, he could no longer believe Yang Fan's words, this was a devil, a devil who killed people with a gentle smile.

  "Whoosh..."

  A sharp blade suddenly flew out of Li Mang's hand, not aimed at Yang Fan, but at the stone at the door. Li Mang understood that with his current strength, he couldn't hurt Yang Fan, and now escaping was the priority.

  At the same time, Li Mang's legs exerted force on the ground, and his entire body lightly yet quickly rushed towards the back door.

  "Clang!"

  The dagger aimed at the stone was knocked down, and it was a cigarette butt in Yang Fan's hand.

  "Boom!"

  But Li Meng took this opportunity to break through the back door and escape quickly.

  "Ah..." Yang Fan exhaled the smoke from his lungs and finally spoke to Shi Tou, who had been expressionless all along: "Kill him!"

  "Uh-huh!" Shi Tou didn't ask anything, his body flashed and rushed out to chase after Yang Fan. His life was saved by Yang Fan, so Yang Fan's orders were absolute for him, with no right or wrong, only resolute execution.

  "What a mistake! A regret that will last for eternity!" Yang Fan let out a sigh, and with a light slap of his palm on the hidden compartment on the floor - "Boom!"

  The floor of Li Meng's small courtyard living room was shattered, not to mention the hidden compartment, even a complete ceramic tile could no longer be found. This is Yang Fan's strength, and it's not all of it. It would have been easy for him to kill Li Meng, but he was a cautious person, so it would be better to let Shi Tou take action.

  Escaping from the back door, Li Mang originally wanted to run to Gui Yi for help, but was shocked to discover that Yang Fan had long been prepared. Apart from Shi Tou who was closely pursuing behind, there were also several people from the Ninth Unit in various directions.

  Perhaps these are not all Chi You's spies, but they will also execute Yang Fan's orders. As long as Li Mang is intercepted, the stone behind him will kill him at the first time, and then he will die without evidence, and he has nowhere to reason.

  With a gritted teeth, Li Meng gave up his plan to go to the Ghost Hospital, and his agility was brought to its extreme, leaving behind a residual shadow as he escaped sideways.

  The ninth group of courtyards is located on the periphery of Yan Huang Da Yuan, and the direction in which Li Mang escaped was a high wall, over 20 meters high, a mixture of earth and stone walls that ordinary people could not climb. Outside the high wall, however, was a thorny vine forest, with sharp thorns everywhere, frightening to hear; apart from this, it is said that there are also ultra-high voltage electric currents, wires disguised as vines, which can be dangerous if touched.

  However, Li Mang has no choice but to do so now.

  "Hmm!" Li Meng let out a low growl as he stored up his energy, and his body shot out like a missile, soaring over ten meters high. However, he was unable to jump all the way to the top of the wall, so he could only use his Light Body skill with all his might while using the Yellow Rank Long Knife in his hand to slash at the wall face, borrowing the force to continue flying upwards.

  However, the steel wire flashing with electricity at the top of the wall made him startled, and he hastily stabbed his long knife into the wall to steady his body, not daring to climb up recklessly. Even so, he was still covered in cold sweat, and if he had flown up rashly, he could have been electrocuted into a pile of ashes at any time.

  "Bang!" The stone that was chasing closely also jumped up at this time, and in one step, it came to a place not far below Li Meng. He didn't use his knife, but instead used his fist to punch into the wall to fix his body, and his strength was amazingly powerful.

  "Hmph... Down you go!" Li Meng's gaze turned cold, he drew his sword and plunged downwards, stepping on the stone head.

  The stone's facial expression changed, and his other hand punched the cement wall on the side with a loud crash, sinking his entire fist into it. At the same time, he pulled out his original fist to dodge Li Mang's kick from above.

  It's said that if Li Mang were to let go of Huang Pin's long knife, he would continue to fall down, but Shi Tou underestimated Li Mang's strength. Just as one foot was about to land empty, he also learned to punch the wall with one fist.

  Bang!

  A solid wall was also punched out of a hole by him, with his fist inserted inside to support his body from falling down. At the same time, Li Meng's yellow long knife swooshed towards the stone, cutting it with its sharp edge.

  The stone's face changed, and he really didn't expect Li Meng to be so troublesome. At this time, he wanted to continue staying on the wall, but it was already impossible. He had no choice but to use force to kick out one foot towards the wall, and his whole body bounced back. He dodged Li Meng's attack, but as a result, he had nowhere to borrow strength and continued to fall down.

  "Bang!" The floor below was crushed by a large area of stones falling from the sky, but he didn't get hurt. A height of over ten meters was nothing special for the stone, far from enough to harm him.

  Temporarily escaped from the pursuit of killing by Shi Tou, but Li Meng did not get excited because of this. Looking back at the rear from his height, he could see that a large number of people were rushing towards this side.
