Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 33: Cunning of the Ci Clan
Patriarch Ci who saw his people had been defeated, stared fiercely at the third prince's army. He seemed to have forgotten that in front of him still stood a guard who kept paying attention.
"Patriark Ci, now what can you do?" Shao Mingrui approached while hanging a sword behind his back.
When Patriarch Ci was about to issue a curse, Elder Song said in a flat voice. "Don't overdo it, otherwise I'll kill you right away."
As the leader of the Ci Clan tightly shut his mouth, he could not defeat Elder Song, there was nothing he could do now.
Zhou Fan who had finished his part came while shouldering the night blood sword.
"I'll be gone for a minute." Zhou Fan patted Shao Mingrui on the shoulder, his eyes glancing at his blood-soaked clothes.
Shao Mingrui nodded, then turned back to the old man before him.
Zhou Fan waltzed away, he faintly heard the sound of running water, it must have come from a stream.
After walking for some time, he finally found what he was looking for. As expected, this was a river with a rushing current.
Although swift, the river looks shallow with clear water.
Without wasting any time, Zhou Fan went down to clean himself which every inch was filled with a rancid smell.
Zhou Fan changed clothes for the better, he was about to return but Zhou Jim came with a catch.
The young man decided to relax under the shade of a mahogany tree, accompanied by venison that was ready to be burned.
Zhou Jim did not miss, before the wolf had worked hard in defeating the people of the Ci Clan, this was the time to replenish the lost energy.
Zhou Fan painstakingly burned the venison after he cut it into pieces. That fatty aroma seemed to wave at him.
It did not take long to change a lump of reddish meat to brownish. Zhou Jim instantly snatched away his share even when the meat was still emitting hot smoke.
Zhou Fan could only shake his head, he was curious how strong the wolf's tongue and lips were so that it could come into contact with the extremely hot flesh.
Accidentally, Zhou Jim's ears caught the movement. The wolf even released the meat attached to its muzzle.
Zhou Fan frowned, he did not know what happened to his wolf. Clearly, he saw Zhou Jim's ears constantly moving.
Zhou Jim stood on all four legs, he dashed towards the southwest direction. Zhou Fan without a second thought directly followed where the wolf was darting.
A moment Zhou Fan stopped when he saw Zhou Jim standing looking at a hut in the middle of the forest.
Zhou Fan came out from the bush, he scoured the hut from a distance. How can there be a hut in the middle of the forest, this is a forest of fog, a forest with an indeterminate climate that can drive everyone crazy because of the very unreasonable weather changes.
Looking more closely there he saw there was a simple horse carriage, even impressed worn out.
No no no...
Zhou Fan immediately went into hiding when he heard that someone was approaching. Shortly thereafter two adult men carrying a five-year-old boy, appeared before the eyes of Zhou Fan's head.
The boy was unconscious and one of the adult men carried him like a sack. They entered the hut, and they did not come out.
"Are they child abductors?" Zhou Fan hardened his jaw, he felt annoyed by this incident.
He was a father, even though the boy was not his son, he seemed to get a signal of obligation to help him.
Yet he did not act recklessly by directly coming out of hiding. For a moment he checked the situation, it was not funny if a few more people arrived.
Instead of helping, he involved himself in the danger.
Some time passed and there was no sign of anyone coming. Zhou Fan came out from the bush, he slowly walked closer to the hut.
"I think so, at least they had entered the gates of the Xiu Clan when we reached this hut."
"Why should we get this tedious task, bringing Patriarch Xiu's son is so troublesome."
Zhou Fan who was standing outside when he heard these words his face was a little unusual.
Was that boy the son of the Patriarch of the Xiu Clan? Zhou Fan was slightly in disbelief, it turned out that someone dared to kidnap the descendants of the patriarch of the great clan of Bei Xian City.
But hearing that they were currently running an errand, the young man wondered who was behind all this.
Wanting to keep eavesdropping from the outside, one from the inside exclaimed loudly.
"Invader! Intruders!"
Zhou Fan opened his eyes wide, he asked if as soon as this was known of his whereabouts.
One more step the young man will come out, it turns out that what is meant is another intruder. They came out but did not lead towards him.
When they saw who they were after, it turned out to be Zhou Jim.
For a moment Zhou Fan was just silently glued to his place, a moment later he smiled.
"Good Jim, that way I don't have to fight."
Zhou Fan walked into the hut, from there he saw a boy lying on a mat.
While the two people who were chasing Zhou Jim suddenly stopped.
"Wait, Patriarch Xiu's son?!" They looked at each other, then darted back to the hut.
When they arrived, however, they did not find Patriarch Xiu's son, just an empty mat that lay above the ground level.
Instantly their faces panicked, even just a moment of sweat had invaded every inch of their faces.
"Wire, if the Patriarch finds out, we'll get into trouble. Ci Clan's punishment, I can't accept this." The two men became.
"So, all this was the work of the Ci Clan?"
The two men's faces instantly changed, they quickly came out toward the sound that was heard.
"You... You did it?!" They were faced with a young man standing in front of the entrance, as if he was deliberately waiting for their arrival.
Zhou Fan paid no heed to the words of the two men before him, the young man instantly grabbed the night blood sword hanging on his back.
"You Ci Clan must indeed be wiped out." After saying Zhou Fan darted after the two grown men.
The two men of course were not just silent seeing a young man about to attack. They swiftly spread out a sword that had previously been lodged in the waist.
However Zhou Fan's strength was too great that with one move was able to separate their bodies. The young man did not let the storage ring go to waste, he took away every item he could use.
The two men were only one-star emperor realm fighters, fighting them only took one swing of the night blood sword.
Previously Zhou Fan had not attacked because he wanted more information regarding who was the mastermind behind the kidnapping, after learning that it was the Ci Clan, he could not just quietly give an ordinary lesson towards them.
Zhou Fan returned to where he placed Patriarch Xiu's son, looking at the boy's shady smile, subconsciously a smile was engraved on his face.
"Lin'er must give birth to a son!"
