Chapter 675: Chapter 675

Ding Fan looked at the mother and son.

If they were in the inland areas, that boy should still be of school-going age, but now he had to face life and death.

Ding Fan hesitated for a moment before finally walking over to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was startled, then said to Ding Fan, "You'd better leave here quickly. If Haji sees you with us, they won't let you off."

"Don't talk." Ding Fan didn't heed the middle-aged woman's warning and crouched down.

"There's shrapnel in your abdomen, and an intestine is severed. If you don't stop the bleeding in time, I'm afraid you won't survive," Ding Fan said after examining her with his Divine Sense.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Just go," said the middle-aged woman to Ding Fan.

But just as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, seven or eight people rushed out from the opium field. All of them aimed their gun barrels at Ding Fan and the mother and son.

"It seems we're too late..." The middle-aged woman sighed deeply.

"Xiao Fen, hand over Lord Ha's stone and put down your weapon, or I will send you and your mother to the afterlife right now!" At this point, a middle-aged man in camouflage clothes said to Xiao Fen.

"I won't! If I put down the gun, there's no telling how you might torture us!" Xiao Fen said defiantly, pointing his submachine gun directly at the man in camouflage.

"If you dare to shoot, I will be the first to **** you, at least I'll have made it worthwhile!" Xiao Fen said fiercely.

"Boy, I can send your mom to the afterlife first!" The camouflaged man finished speaking, and two people pressed their submachine guns against the middle-aged woman's head.

The situation was at a stalemate for the moment.

"I have a Pill here; you should swallow it first." Just then, Ding Fan casually pulled out a Pill from his chest.

Ding Fan appeared very calm, as if the surrounding situation had nothing to do with him at all.

Even the middle-aged woman was taken aback at this moment, not expecting that Ding Fan would still be thinking of treating her at this time.

Seeing the middle-aged woman in a daze, Ding Fan directly stuffed the Pill into her mouth.

"This Pill is to stop bleeding. At least it'll save your life for now," Ding Fan said.

At this moment, the brows of the man in camouflage furrowed tightly. With so many people surrounding these three, Xiao Fen looked defiant, but here was Ding Fan, still treating Xiao Fen's mother under the gunpoint.

This was simply too much of an underestimation of himself.

"Kill this idiot first, stop acting tough in front of me," the camouflaged man shouted irritably at his subordinates.

No sooner had the camouflaged man finished speaking than one of his men, carrying a submachine gun, aimed it at Ding Fan, ready to fire.

However, before he could fire, Ding Fan had already made his move.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Ding Fan's successive Wind Blades chopped out swiftly.

For those aiming their guns at him, Ding Fan wouldn't show mercy; there was only one way to deal with them.

Pfft… Pfft… In the blink of an eye, all those who had been pointing guns at Ding Fan and the mother and son, including the camouflaged man, were cleanly slain by Ding Fan.

Thump, thump... Watching those who were previously arrogant and pursuing him with all their might collapse so swiftly at the hands of Ding Fan left Xiao Fen completely dumbfounded.

In Mali, Xiao Fen had already witnessed others killing, but he had never seen a killing as shocking as Ding Fan's, where with one move, all opponents were laid to rest.

His mother beside him was also stunned.

The way Ding Fan killed people with Wind Blades was so shocking that it completely surpassed their normal understanding.

"Are you... are you a Wizard..." After being shocked for a long while, Xiao Fen finally uttered these words.

Ding Fan glanced at Xiao Fen next to him, his eyes clear. Xiao Fen at that moment seemed to regain some of the innocent traits of a child.

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving us…" At this point, the middle-aged woman quickly knelt down to Ding Fan. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

In the mother's view, once these people caught up, it was a life or death situation for them. Had they not encountered Ding Fan, had Ding Fan not taken decisive action, she feared she and her son would indeed have died there.

"Your injuries are severe. Let's find a quiet place, and I will help you heal," Ding Fan said to the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman nodded.

Having witnessed Ding Fan's show of power just now, both were thoroughly shocked.

Xiao Fen had an incredible trust in Ding Fan, believing him to be a Wizard, confident in Ding Fan's power to save his mother.

Right away, Xiao Fen, carrying his mother, led Ding Fan to find a secluded spot.

Although Xiao Fen was skinny, his strength was not small, and carrying his mother didn't seem to be too difficult for him. Moreover, Xiao Fen was quite familiar with the local terrain, so it didn't take long for him to find a secluded spot.

Because the middle-aged woman had swallowed the Pill given by Ding Fan, the bleeding had stopped. Ding Fan then took out some Herbs from his storage ring.

Ding Fan pinched the herbs in the palm of his hand, quickly rubbing them into a fine powder. He then casually applied the ground herbs to the wound on the midsection of the middle-aged woman.

With his hand pressing down on the herbs, Ding Fan continuously channeled True Qi. In less than ten minutes, streams of smoke began to rise from his palm.

Xiao Fen and the middle-aged woman watched on, a look of amazement spreading across their faces.

However, having already decided that Ding Fan was a wizard, Xiao Fen, despite his initial surprise, found nothing unusual about it.

About fifteen more minutes passed before Ding Fan finally removed his hand from the woman's wound. Upon doing so, she expressed shock.

Now, the wound on her abdomen showed no trace of ever having existed.

One should know that all Ding Fan did was rub some herbs on her stomach, and in less than half an hour, her wound had disappeared. Such a feat was incredibly astounding.

"Great Sorcerer, could you teach me..." Witnessing this, Xiao Fen was thoroughly impressed, admiring Ding Fan greatly.

In Mali, there were no highly skilled doctors. Generally, those who suffered gunshot wounds would find it hard to heal, with many relying on the consumption of opium to alleviate pain.

Although the wounds would eventually close with the help of some basic anti-inflammatory herbs, they would seep thick fluid on rainy days.

But Ding Fan, in less than thirty minutes, had completely healed the wound. Xiao Fen immediately clamored for Ding Fan to teach him.

"Xiao Fen, don't be foolish." The middle-aged woman hastily reprimanded the misbehaving Xiao Fen.

Although Xiao Fen pouted, he did not dare disobey in front of his mother and promptly stood quietly to one side.

"Thank you for saving my life!" The middle-aged woman said, once again kneeling before Ding Fan, with Xiao Fen hastily following his mother's lead.

"It was nothing," Ding Fan said, lifting a hand toward the two of them, a burst of True Qi enveloping them.

Xiao Fen and his mother felt as if someone had lifted them up, prompting them to stand.

"Although your wound is healed, your internal organs are still somewhat damaged. You need to rest and recuperate for a while," Ding Fan advised the middle-aged woman.

"Yes..." she quickly nodded in agreement.

"Why were people chasing you just now?" Ding Fan asked, his curiosity piqued.

How could someone like Xiao Fen and his mother be pursued by seven or eight burly men?

The middle-aged woman didn't respond, but Xiao Fen stepped forward.

"What else could it be? My mother and I helped Haji cultivate opium, but that old dog Haji wanted to take advantage of my mother, and he took her out to the opium field..."

"Xiao Fen, stop talking..." The middle-aged woman's cheeks reddened.

Even though Xiao Fen didn't finish his sentence, Ding Fan could guess what had happened. The woman might not be young, but she retained her charm. It seemed that Haji was after her, and Xiao Fen had probably walked in on them.

Xiao Fen didn't continue mentioning the incident of his mother being dragged to the opium field by Haji. Instead, he went on, "I didn't have a gun, so I took a short knife and stabbed Haji in the thigh. It's lucky that old bastard ran quickly; otherwise, I would've ended his life."

"And Xiao Fen's father?" asked Ding Fan.

"My father was a drunkard and was beaten to death many years ago. I have been living with my mother since I was young," Xiao Fen spoke without apparent sorrow.

Ding Fan nodded. Living in such a tumultuous place, a mother raising a child on her own was indubitably very hard.

Xiao Fen kept talking, "Haji was terrified then, and he ran off limping."

At this point, Xiao Fen couldn't help but laugh with pride.

"And the stone those guys mentioned earlier, what stone was that?" Ding Fan inquired.

If it was just because of the stab wound on Haji's leg, sending just two or three people to teach Xiao Fen and the middle-aged woman a lesson should have been enough. Judging from the commotion earlier, Haji seemed truly enraged, summoning so many men to hunt down the mother and son.

"Stone? It's just a broken stone," Xiao Fen said as he picked up a stone from nearby and handed it to Ding Fan. "That old dog Haji dropped a stone as he ran off."

Ding Fan took the stone without hesitation and upon examination, he discovered that it was actually a piece of Gold Ore.

After contemplating for a moment, Ding Fan thought that the fervent pursuit for a mere stone must have a hidden reason behind it.

A thought crossed Ding Fan's mind, and his brows lifted.

Could it be that Haji had found a gold mine on the island? Was he so eager to kill this mother and son because he feared someone else discovering it?

Although it was just a hypothesis, Ding Fan felt that this supposition might very well be true.

Mali Island was indeed extraordinary, not only with its Gathering Qi Grand Formation but also a gold mine. It seemed the island was rich in resources indeed.

"Benefactor, I know you are very powerful, but I suggest you find a way to leave this place. Haji is the most powerful Tusi around here. You've killed his people; I don't think he will let it go. Before he realizes what happened, you should hurry up and leave," the middle-aged woman advised.

With a smile, Ding Fan reassured the woman, "If Haji doesn't come after me, he's lucky. If he comes looking for trouble, then he's the one who'll be out of luck."
