Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Sudden Apprenticeship_1

“You’ll be surprised,” Xu Fan said with a sinister smile, glancing at the four bodyguards on high alert, and scoffed, “You don’t really think that these guys are enough to let you do as you please, do you?”

“How insolent!”

“Courting death!”

“Little punk, I’ll kill you.”

Such insults made Cui Dong’s four bodyguards unable to contain their anger. At Cui Dong’s command, they would’ve gladly shot Xu Fan dead on the spot.

Cui Dong found the situation increasingly amusing. He chuckled, “To be so arrogant on my turf, you’ve got guts, I must say. But have you considered the consequences? Right now, I’m quite displeased. Forget about you trying to take someone, you won’t even be able to walk out that door yourself. Uncle Lu, you can’t blame me for going back on my word.”

No sooner had Cui Dong finished speaking than Yue Qingjiang and his sister arrived. They said to Lu Chenbing, “Uncle Lu, Young Master Lin, the security from Fist Manor is on its way.”

Lu Chenbing couldn’t help but look toward the door. Apart from the security guards gathered at the entrance, there was also a clamor of voices and footsteps in the distance. They were all holding weapons—watermelon knives, iron rods, or steel pipes—with a menacing look, ready to rush in and start a brawl at any moment.

Yue Qingxuan had been educated in a civilized manner since childhood and had never seen such a situation. She felt extremely frightened, her delicate shoulders quivering slightly, and her pretty face turned pale. She couldn’t help but wrap her hands around her brother’s arm.

Seeing this, Cui Dong became even more proud, his confidence and audacity surging excessively. He felt like the king of this place, and everyone should show him the utmost respect.

“So, are you still trying to act tough? I advise you to be smart and back off. For the sake of Uncle Lu’s face, if you just admit defeat obediently, I can overlook the past and let you leave here smoothly. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting nasty and having you beaten to a pulp.”

Xu Fan found it a bit amusing and said with a look that completely disregarded them, “They are all just small fry; I might as well capture them all in one go, making you laugh even uglier than you cry.”

“Utterly despicable!”

One of Cui Dong’s bodyguards cursed in anger and stepped forward with a stick, suddenly sneering as he simultaneously swung the stick at Xu Fan’s head.

Cui Dong crossed his arms, looking forward to the show. He even vaguely imagined seeing Xu Fan screaming in agony.

Although Lu Chenbing was by the side, since he had already given the proper respect, and it was Xu Fan who instigated the provocation, he felt justified no matter how badly Xu Fan got beaten up next.

“Be careful.”

Yue Qingxuan cried out in alarm and immediately covered her eyes with her small hands.

Yue Qingjiang hesitated for a moment, then moved to intervene, but Lu Chenbing held him back.

Yue Qingjiang felt somewhat reassured. Since Uncle Lu trusted Xu Fan so much, Xu Fan must be clear about the stakes and capable of handling the situation. He probably had some tricks up his sleeve, otherwise, it would be impossible to predict the Bull Demon’s defeat.

It was because of his action that Xu Fan took note of him, and in the future, when the Yue Family faced misfortune, Xu Fan was willing to lend a hand to help them avert a great disaster.

Of course, that was all in the future.

Zhou Xian was watching Xu Fan stand up for him and wondered whether this might be the mysterious expert who had sent him a voice transmission earlier. He hoped Xu Fan really had some skills; otherwise, he would have to fend for himself as he would have had to anyway.

“Swoosh!”

The stick sliced through the air, rapidly descending, and reached the top of Xu Fan’s head in the blink of an eye.

The bodyguard’s eyes sparkled with pleasure, and he was even secretly looking forward to a reward from the young master. After all, this guy had repeatedly annoyed the young master, and it was time to teach him a harsh lesson.

With that thought, the bodyguard exerted even more force, and a fierce roar erupted from his throat, full of intimidation.

But very soon, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Xu Fan also made his move in an instant, taking less than 0.1 second to reach above his head and precisely catch the falling stick.

The bodyguard felt as if he had hit some hard object, his hand numbed by the vibration, and then he instinctively tried to pull back the stick, only to find it unmoving in Xu Fan’s grasp, rooted there no matter how much force he applied.

With that, the smile on his face instantly froze, “Let go of it, damn it.”

“As you wish.”

Xu Fan’s hand suddenly relaxed slightly, and the bodyguard, having applied too much force, fell backward, stumbling several steps until he hit the iron cabinet behind him and finally steadied himself.

“Damn it, I’ll kill you,” the bodyguard cursed as he stood up, drew the pistol from his waist, and aimed it unwaveringly at Xu Fan.

“Die, kid.”

As the trigger was pulled, a conical bullet shot towards Xu Fan.

Bang!

At such a close distance, the bullet was faster than the sound of gunfire!

You little show-off, do you think you’re invincible just because you’ve got some skills? Humph, this isn’t ancient times; I have a gun. No matter how good your Kung Fu is, can you dodge a bullet?

Yue Qingxuan peeked through her squinted eyes and couldn’t help but let out a cry of alarm. Isn’t this a civilized society? It’s so brutal! Guns are drawn at the first sign of disagreement.

“No… No way, what’s going on?”

Suddenly, the bodyguard’s sinister smile froze, and he looked at Xu Fan with terror in his eyes, showing deep horror as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The other bodyguards wore the same expressions, each dumbfounded as chickens, their minds completely blank.

Cui Dong had just felt like a king in control, superior and confident, almost floating on air, but now his eyes were bulging out of their sockets, unable to laugh anymore.

Xu Fan’s hand was extended in midair, and between two fingers, he seemed to be holding a bullet that had just shot out of the barrel, as if he was holding a marble.

Then with a flick of his fingers, the bullet tingled crisply as it fell to the ground, bounced a few times, and rolled into a dark corner, unseen by anyone the indentation where it had been pinched.

Zhou Xian witnessed this and was profoundly shocked, feeling as if he had seen a dazzling white light falling from the sky, leaving him deeply shaken and utterly fascinated.

For him, who had been obsessed with martial arts since childhood, catching a blade barehanded was already very impressive, but catching a bullet with bare hands was unheard of and unseen.

This young man was too strong.

Much stronger than any martial arts expert he had ever seen. It certainly wasn’t just the Qi Drawing Realm; even the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster seemed uncertain, he felt even stronger than that.

Yue Qingjiang’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that this was why Uncle Lu had treated him with such deference. Regrettably, he had been unable to recognize Tai Shan, and his assessment of Xu Fan rocketed from space to the moon in an instant.

Eight or nine out of ten chances, Xu Fan must be the prized disciple of a major sect in the Ancient Martial World or the strongest heir of a martial arts family.

The two were only a few meters apart, and in that instant, with the bullet almost reaching the speed of sound, there was no time for the brain to react, yet Xu Fan was still able to catch the bullet, demonstrating terrifying levels of strength, hand speed, defense, and reaction speed.

The scene was so silent, one could hear a pin drop, with each person only able to hear their own heart pounding non-stop.

“Glug!” Cui Dong couldn’t help swallowing his saliva, then his face turned red as if he was about to do something immensely shameful.

But then, he suddenly stood up, took a few steps towards Xu Fan, and abruptly knelt down, shouting loudly, “Master!”
