Chapter 139 And which one are you?

"Are you also a member of the Leng family?" Su Yifan asked.

"Y-Yes, Senior," Mountain Chicken replied, trembling all over.

Hearing that the other person was also from the Leng family, Su Yifan nodded and said, "Good, then you can go and die."

With those words, he slowly raised his hand.

"No, please don't, Senior! As long as you spare my life, I am willing to be your beast of burden for the rest of my days."

Seeing this, Mountain Chicken was so terrified that he dropped to his knees with a loud thud.

Fighting back would undoubtedly mean certain death. Pleading for mercy might at least offer a sliver of hope for survival.

Yet Su Yifan remained completely unmoved, preparing to strike.

"Senior, are you truly determined not to let me go?"

"What else do you expect?"

"Fine! You forced me into this!"

Mountain Chicken suddenly lunged upward. Pulling out a dagger from who knows where, he charged directly toward Xu Shuyan behind him.

Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well drag someone down with him. Dying with a beauty by his side wouldn't be too much of a loss.

"You still dare to resist in front of me?"

As soon as he spoke—

*Boom!*

A terrifyingly immense pressure instantly descended upon Mountain Chicken.

*Puff!*

Mountain Chicken had barely taken two steps when he felt as though a massive mountain had been placed upon his back. After violently coughing up a mouthful of blood, his entire body buckled, and his knees sank deep into the mud.

"I'll leave this person to you. Kill him," Su Yifan said, glancing at Xie Wei beside him.

The only reason he hadn't killed the man himself was to leave him for Xie Wei.

"You want *me* to kill him?" Xie Wei asked, momentarily stunned.

She was an operative of the Dragon Special Forces; how could she casually take a life? Even if the man was guilty, he should be handed over to the state for the law to deal with him.

"He insulted you so grossly just now. Aren't you angry at all?" Su Yifan asked slowly.

"I... of course I'm angry, but..."

Before Xie Wei could finish her sentence—

*Bang!*

Mountain Chicken on the other side was directly blasted into a mist of blood.

While Xie Wei was still caught in a daze, Su Yifan flashed over to the front of Xu Shuyan. He untied the ropes binding her and picked her up in his arms.

At that exact moment—

"Ugh..."

Xu Shuyan suddenly regained consciousness from her faint. The very first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Su Yifan right in front of her. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and burst into tears.

"Sob, sob... Yifan, I was so scared. I thought I would never see you again."

As she spoke, her grip around his neck tightened even more.

"Don't worry, it's all over now," Su Yifan comforted her softly.

Given that Xu Shuyan was a young woman, it was completely normal for her to be terrified after encountering such an ordeal.

Just as the two of them were holding each other tightly—

"Su Yifan, can you..."

Xie Wei was just about to scold Su Yifan and tell him not to be so violent. However, when she saw the two of them embracing each other, the words already at the tip of her tongue were instantly swallowed back down.

At that moment, for reasons unknown to her, her heart felt as constricted and uncomfortable as if it had been blocked by something.

What is happening? Why am I feeling this way?

Noticing that there was still another person present, Xu Shuyan hurriedly spoke up.

"Yifan, p-please put me down."

Hearing this, Su Yifan set her down, then looked toward Xie Wei on the side and said, "You take her back first. I have some business to take care of."

Hearing these words, Xie Wei's expression froze. "Y-You aren't planning to..."

"Leave this matter alone. You can't handle it anyway," Su Yifan interrupted her.

The Leng family had dared to harm his classmate and even threatened him—their crimes warranted capital punishment! If he let them off today, he shuddered to think whether others close to him might suffer harm in the future. He absolutely refused to allow such a thing to happen again!

Xu Shuyan didn't understand what they were talking about. She looked at Su Yifan and asked, "Yifan, where are you going?"

"It's nothing. You two head back first, I'll be right back."

The moment his voice fell, Su Yifan strode away.

Upon reaching an isolated spot, he soared directly into the sky, transforming into a streak of light as he flew toward the direction of Jinling.

***

Meanwhile, back at the Leng family estate, inside the ancestral ancestral hall.

Two figures stood within.

Leng Yan reached out to wipe his son's memorial tablet, saying with a grief-stricken expression, "Hao'er, you may rest in peace. Father will avenge you."

In the very center of the ancestral hall stood an elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, his back slightly hunched and his eyes filled with sorrow. Taking a deep breath, he asked, "Have they brought the person back yet?"

"It should be soon," Leng Yan replied.

"Hurry up and make a call to check. I can hardly wait any longer to execute that scoundrel with my own hands for my grandson!" the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit said in a deep voice.

That audacious wretch had actually dared to murder his grandson! He would undoubtedly make that person wish they were dead, making them regret ever coming into this world!

Hearing his father's words, Leng Yan hurriedly took out his phone and dialed a number.

The next second, a cold automated voice came through.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later!"

Hearing this, Leng Yan cursed angrily, "What the hell? What is this damn fool doing?"

"What's going on?" the elderly man asked.

"Father, it... it won't go through."

"Didn't they say three people went? Mountain Chicken went as well."

Hearing this, Leng Yan suddenly had a flash of realization. He hurriedly searched for Mountain Chicken's number and dialed it immediately.

Yet the next moment, the cold, expressionless automated voice continued to echo from the phone.

*Bang!*

Hearing that sound once again, Leng Yan was so furious that he smashed his phone directly onto the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"What on earth are these three useless trash cans doing? Why can't I get through to anyone's phone?!"

Seeing this, the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit suddenly felt a surge of ominous foreboding.

"Could it be that they have already..."

"Impossible!" Leng Yan instantly refuted him. "The other party is at best a Grandmaster. Setting aside the fact that we have a hostage in our hands, even if it came to blows, Mountain Chicken could never lose."

He was well aware of Mountain Chicken's strength. Even if the opponent was also a Grandmaster, with Mountain Chicken's peak Grandmaster cultivation, how could he possibly lose? After all, given Mountain Chicken's prowess, he had few rivals even within the Leng family itself. Furthermore, he had heard that the target was merely a young man in his early twenties whose strength probably hadn't even reached the Grandmaster realm; and even if it had, Mountain Chicken still wouldn't have lost.

Hearing this, the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit said nothing more. Perhaps he was simply overthinking things.

However, right at that moment—

"This is bad! This is bad! Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

A servant hurried breathlessly into the ancestral hall.

"You're courting death! Who gave you permission to enter?" Leng Yan roared angrily.

With a sweep of his palm, he prepared to strike and kill the servant on the spot.

"Patriarch, n-no, please..."

Seeing this, the servant was so terrified that he dropped to his knees on the spot.

"Stop!" the elderly man in the Zhongshan suit commanded in a deep voice at the critical moment.

Hearing this, Leng Yan quickly withdrew his hand and asked in a freezing tone, "You better have a good reason, otherwise..."

The servant swallowed hard and replied with a trembling voice, "Replying to the Patriarch, someone has... has... has killed their way in from outside!"

"Whose courage is so immense that they dare come to the Leng family to kill?"

"I-I don't know either. The intruder is a young man. Outside the gates just now, without a single word of nonsense, he killed several of our men and has already fought his way inside," the servant reported hurriedly.

If he hadn't run fast just now, he would have lost his life as well.

"What!"

Hearing that someone was so audacious, Leng Yan looked toward his father and said, "Father, I'll go take a look."

"Mm." The elderly man in the Zhongshan suit nodded.

***

A moment later.

Leng Yan had just arrived at the front courtyard when he saw a young man gripping one of the Leng family's martial artists by the neck.

He immediately roared furiously, " brat, who are you? How dare you come to my Leng family to cause trouble? Do you have a death wish?"

*Crack!*

Su Yifan applied a tiny bit of force, instantly snapping the neck of the martial artist in his hand, and then looked toward the source of the voice.

"And which one are you?"
