Chapter 670: Chapter 670
Jin Minchong looked at Ding Fan with disbelief on his face. It hadn't been long since Jin Minchong had severely wounded Ding Fan, and hardly any time had passed since then.
What perplexed Jin Minchong even more was that up to now, Ding Fan hadn't even used a weapon. Jin Minchong, wielding a sword and launching all-out attacks, had still been knocked over by a direct kick from Ding Fan.
Being utterly defeated barehanded, Jin Minchong truly couldn't imagine how he had managed to defeat Ding Fan not long ago.
At this moment, Jin Minchong struggled to rise from the ground, but despite several attempts, he failed to get up. After all, Ding Fan's kick had been excessively fierce.
"Why did Bian Zhimu want to control the Sankou Group?" Ding Fan spoke indifferently, standing in front of Jin Minchong without wasting words.
"Bian Zhimu's ambition is great," Jin Minchong replied without hesitation. "He wants to fulfill his ambition by controlling the Sankou Group..."
Ding Fan was taken aback by Jin Minchong's response; he had thought that making Jin Minchong talk would require some persuasion, but Jin Minchong had spilled everything he knew as soon as he was asked.
However, after thinking it over, Ding Fan felt there was nothing surprising anymore. Jin Minchong had always been a fickle person; it was understandable that he would betray his master to save his own life now.
"Ambition? What kind of ambition?" Ding Fan asked.
Previously, Bian Zhimu had set a huge trap to obtain the Heavenly Book Fragment, starting by visiting Changsheng to steal the Heavenly Book Fragment and understand the use of Peiyuan Stone, and then later, he even sent people to Quanzhen Xuanmen to snatch the lower half of the Heavenly Book Fragment.
Last time, Bian Zhimu had failed, and Ding Fan was curious about why Bian Zhimu had come to control the Sankou Group in Japan this time.
"Bian Zhimu's ambition is very great; he wants to establish a nation!"
One of the reasons Jin Minchong was answering every question was that he was a clever person.
Without using a weapon, Ding Fan had easily kicked him into severe injury. If Ding Fan truly wanted his life, it would be a matter of minutes.
Therefore, Jin Minchong held a thought firmly: as long as he could save his life, whether others lived or died was none of his business.
After hearing Jin Minchong's words, Ding Fan was initially stunned. Establishing a nation? That ambition was not small by any means.
"In attacking Red Spider, Bian Zhimu's actual intention was to intimidate some underground forces in Yahuan State, which Bian Zhimu is currently trying to win over. He wants these people's support to establish a country… Red Spider has a huge reputation in Yahuan State, and because there was previously enmity between Red Spider and the Sankou Group, Bian Zhimu thought of targeting Red Spider..." Jin Minchong honestly repeated everything he knew.
After listening, Ding Fan began to admire Bian Zhimu a bit.
The former leader of the Sankou Group had been killed by Ding Fan; strictly speaking, killed by Red Spider.
By dealing with Red Spider, Bian Zhimu could not only establish his credibility within the Sankou Group but also send a message to those underground forces still deliberating whether to submit to Bian Zhimu.
Once Red Spider was eliminated, the effect of intimidation would be there, and those underground forces, afraid of Bian Zhimu's power, would then choose to side with him…
This was indeed an excellent stratagem to kill two birds with one stone.
"Where is Bian Zhimu now?" Ding Fan asked.
"Bian Zhimu has gone to Mali Island..." Jin Minchong replied honestly.
"Yes, Mali. That place is one of Jin Minchong's strongholds. There are many of Bian Zhimu's men there already," Jin Minchong added from the side.
Ding Fan pondered for a moment, then asked. "Bian Zhimu wants to establish a nation, doesn't the Myriad Demon Sect know?"
Although Bian Zhimu was the foster son of the Myriad Demon Sect, the inner workings of such a great sect were naturally very complex.
While Bian Zhimu was busy building his own forces outside, it was impossible for the sect leader of the Myriad Demon Sect not to intervene.
"The ancestors of the Myriad Demon Sect are aware of this. However, the sect master has said his ambitions lie elsewhere, not here; his goal is eternal life. The sect master said that if Bian Zhimu truly had such intentions, the people of the Myriad Demon Sect could offer help," Jin Minchong said.
After hearing Jin Minchong's words, Ding Fan felt something was off deep down.
To establish a country, such a cake would not be left unattended. Even the leader of Quanzhen Xuanmen, Qi Changran, had ambitions outside, let alone the Demon Sect's leader.
At this moment, Ding Fan recalled another person.
After being killed by Ding Fan, Chen Qiang was revived and went to the Sankou Group, even aiding the Hawk Faction to build an invincible army.
Ding Fan didn't think that frequent encounters between underlings of the Myriad Demon Sect and people of the Sankou Group were coincidental. Ding Fan had a premonition.
This chess game, the biggest manipulator behind the scenes, might not be Bian Zhimu.
"Now sever your arms by yourself, and then you can leave," Ding Fan said indifferently to Jin Minchong.
At this time, Cheng Bufan's grievances had already been vindicated. Furthermore, Ding Fan thought that even if he took Jin Minchong to Quanzhen Xuanmen, the people there wouldn't appreciate it.
Previously, Ding Fan had helped Quanzhen Xuanmen protect the Heavenly Book Fragment, only to be misunderstood by the people of Quanzhen Xuanmen afterward.
So Ding Fan didn't want to bother anymore and thought it better to let Jin Minchong sever his own arms, seeing that he had been cooperative.
Jin Minchong's face showed hesitation.
As a martial artist, losing one's arms was akin to becoming disabled. If he lost his arms now, he would truly be done for. For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Jin Minchong had amassed countless enemies in the Ancient Martial World. Once news of his arms being severed spread, he could be killed by others in minutes.
"What? Do you want me to help you?" Ding Fan said calmly. "But if I help, it won't be just severing your hands..."
"I'm going all out against you!" Jin Minchong suddenly leapt up...
And just as Ding Fan leapt up, his right hand had already swung.
Swish...a Wind Blade directly slashed across, and in an instant, Jin Minchong's body was cleaved into two halves.
Jin Minchong's corpse fell to the ground, and from the looks of it, he was dead beyond any doubt.
If Jin Minchong had known that his desperate fight would end , he probably wouldn't have fought so fiercely.
Severing his own arms would have been better than losing his life...
After killing Jin Minchong, Ding Fan simply set the villa in the orchard on fire, and having done that, he then immediately left the orchard.
Before coming to the orchard, Ding Fan had already arranged for Zhunxing and Er Mao to stay at a house.
By the time Ding Fan returned, the two were actually resting. These days of hiding here and there, it had been a while since they had rested so peacefully.
"Brother Fan, you're back!" As soon as Er Mao saw Ding Fan return, he hurriedly stood up.
"Brother Fan!" Zhunxing also promptly stood up.
Ding Fan nodded his head, glanced at Zhunxing's injuries, and then directly took out two Second Grade Foundation Building Pills from the storage ring.
"Take these pills," Ding Fan said, then directly tossed the Foundation Building Pills to Zhunxing and Er Mao nearby.
Zhunxing, having seen much of the world, realized just from one glance that these pills were certainly not ordinary.
"Brother Fan, these pills must be very powerful," Er Mao said, holding the pill with a grin, smiling at Ding Fan.
Ding Fan faintly shook his head. "They aren't anything special, just Second Grade Foundation Building Pills."
Second Grade?! Second Grade Foundation Building Pills?!
Although Zhunxing knew the pills were extraordinary, he was still shocked to learn they were Second Grade.
Once a pill reached Second Grade, it became a priceless treasure. It was said that one Second Grade pill could even buy a house in Yanjing, which shows its immense value!
At that moment, Er Mao was also utterly amazed. "Oh my gosh! These are Second Grade pills! I've never even seen a First Grade pill, and now I'm about to take a Second Grade pill. I'll have quite the story to tell in the future!"
Ding Fan actually quite liked Er Mao's forthright character. Saying what's on his mind, making friends with someone like him wasn't so exhausting.
"Swallow them now, and later I will teach you a set of Cultivation Techniques," Ding Fan said.
Seeing that Ding Fan was actually going to teach them Cultivation Techniques, both Zhunxing and Er Mao were tremendously pleased. They were pursuing martial cultivation merely to improve their means of killing.
Zhunxing and Er Mao, lacking the inherited Cultivation Techniques of the Hidden Sects, were naturally overjoyed at the prospect of Ding Fan teaching them.
"Brother Fan, how did your business go?" Zhunxing asked from the side.
When Ding Fan had left, he had taken Long Yi with him, and Zhunxing knew Ding Fan was going to the orchard to deal with Jin Minchong.
However, since that location was the stronghold of the Sankou Group in Singapore, Zhunxing had been quite worried about Ding Fan.
Ding Fan smiled lightly. "I've wiped them out,"
Even though Zhunxing knew Ding Fan's abilities were incredibly formidable, he was still utterly shocked.
Jin Minchong had relentlessly hunted them, leaving them no way out, and yet Ding Fan had slaughtered all of them in just one day.
This was unbelievably swift.
"Now, what you need to do is notify all members of the Red Spider to come to Singapore," Ding Fan said to Zhunxing.
Zhunxing solemnly agreed. "Yes!"
Zhunxing didn't even need to ask what Ding Fan was planning to do. Ding Fan had his reasons for everything, and he was Zhunxing's pillar of support. Whatever Ding Fan directed, Zhunxing would follow without looking back.
"Brother Fan, is it our time to counterattack?" Er Mao, his eyes gleaming, said from the side.
During this time, having been constantly pressured by the Sankou Group, they had been hiding like rats. That kind of life, not just Er Mao but all of Red Spider, had had enough of it.
Ding Fan glanced at Er Mao beside him.
This Er Mao was quick-witted. Even before Ding Fan had mentioned it, he had guessed his intentions.
Remembering how Er Mao had shown loyalty and courage in times of peril, and how sharp he was ordinarily, Ding Fan thought he could effectively develop such a person in the future.
"Indeed, we are about to declare war on the Sankou Group!" Ding Fan's expression became serious.
After all, the Red Spider was Ding Fan's direct lineage. Being bullied by the Sankou Group , Ding Fan had every reason to intervene. Now that he was here, it was time for retaliation against the Sankou Group.
You encroach one step, and I shall return a hundred meters!
