Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 261 Bamboo Pavilion Gang

"Ah..." After dodging Tian Wu's attack once again, Du Fan took advantage of the opening, suddenly bent over, lay on the ground, his face showing pain, and let out a shrill scream.

"Hmm?" Tian Wu was about to lunge forward when she saw this and slowed down, regaining some of her composure. The anger in her eyes gradually turned into worry. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I...I think my old injury has flared up again," Du Fan's weak voice suddenly came out.

"Hmph! Serves him right!" Tian Wu snorted coldly, glared at the other party fiercely, but still took a step forward, picked up Du Fan in her arms, and carefully placed him on her bed, covering him with a quilt.

"Can I die or not?" Tian Wu asked coldly, her pretty face expressionless.

"She won't die for now. She'll be fine after a few days of rest." Du Fan secretly glanced at Tian Wu and noticed that although her complexion wasn't very good, the worry in her crystal eyes was unmistakable. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"When did you emerge from quarantine?"

"Last night."

"Why are you sneaking around here? What are you up to?" Tian Wu glanced at Du Fan and asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Tian, ​​you should speak with a clear conscience. I came here openly and honestly, and just as I was about to knock on the door, you were trying to come out, disheveled..." At this point, Du Fan noticed the woman's somewhat unfriendly expression, immediately ignoring it, and continued:

"I met with Elder Shen earlier, and he told me that Miss Tian has been quite worried about me lately. So I came to you to let you know I was safe as soon as it was light, but I never expected to be beaten half to death by you."

"Who was worried about you? Besides, I didn't even touch the hem of your clothes just now. You're the one who's clumsy!" Tian Wu blushed, glared at Du Fan, and said irritably.

"I came to see you with good intentions, but you've made things like this for me. You should at least make amends, otherwise... hehe, no one has ever been to your boudoir before, has anyone?" Du Fan put his arms under his head, chuckled, and said shamelessly.

"How dare you!" Tian Wu suddenly opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and shouted sharply.

"Anyway, I'm seriously injured and unable to move right now, so you can kill me to silence me and eliminate any future troubles," Du Fan said, rolling his eyes with an air of roguishness.

"Li Daoming, just say what you want. But let me make this clear: you're not getting an apology from me!" Tian Wu angrily turned her head away, refusing to look at this despicable guy again.

"Miss Tian Wu, no matter what, you are in the wrong today. Even if this matter of murdering your husband goes to the Four Elders, I will have something to say." Du Fan chuckled twice and said something that almost made Tian Wu vomit blood.

"Li Daoming, do you really think I, Tian Wu, wouldn't dare to kill someone?" Boss Tian suddenly turned around, her eyes narrowed, staring intently at Du Fan, an extremely dangerous aura emanating from her.

"Ahem, I was just joking. Miss Tian, ​​why take it seriously? Actually, what I wanted to say was, if you can answer my next question, then we can call it even. How about that?" Du Fan suddenly became serious and spoke in a deep voice.

"After going through all this trouble, I knew you weren't up to any good. Speak up!" Tian Wu said coldly, her face hardening.

"When we fought in the arena that day, what exactly was the meaning of that move where you leaped three zhang at the end? Don't tell me you practiced it so hard." Du Fan stared into the woman's eyes and asked very seriously.

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to say about this. Please don't ask again." Tian Wu's face suddenly darkened, and her tone became unusually firm, as if there was no room for negotiation whatsoever.

"Even after we get married, you still won't tell?" Du Fan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"No!" Tian Wu blushed instantly, rolled her eyes at Du Fan, and said without hesitation.

"What if I use force?" Du Fan glared and said menacingly.

"I knew this would make you suspicious. I can only tell you that this is a promise I made to someone else, Li Daoming. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?" Tian Wu's tone softened as she looked at Du Fan, her eyes pleading.

Seeing the other person's expression, Du Fan sighed inwardly and decided not to dwell on the topic any longer. But then an idea struck him, and he said, "Could you teach me?"

"Teach you?" Tian Wu was taken aback.

"That's right, your promise didn't include this restriction, did it?" Du Fan's spirits lifted, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

In his opinion, that move must have come from some kind of cultivation technique, and it was most likely a lightness-body technique that he had never encountered before. If he could fully master this lightness-body technique, it would definitely increase his combat power significantly.

For him, the origin of this technique was not so important as to mastering it.

"No... no." Tian Wu frowned slightly, remained silent for a while, and then shook her head.

"That's settled then, let's begin now."

Du Fan became impatient, and in his excitement, he became so overconfident that he jumped off the bed and landed on the ground in an instant. The whole movement was fluid and smooth, showing no sign of serious injury whatsoever...

"It's over, it's over..." Du Fan felt a sense of foreboding. The next moment, he sensed an extremely strong killing intent.

"Li Daoming, you bastard!" Tian Wu's eyebrows shot up, her beautiful eyes filled with malice, and she let out a thunderous roar that echoed in all directions.

With a loud crash, the door to Boss Tian's boudoir collapsed instantly. As pieces of wood flew everywhere, a figure in blue flashed by – none other than Chief Li.

He was in a sorry state. After bursting out of the door, he ignored the astonished looks of the bandits around him, and with a leap, he flew over the heads of several bandits and disappeared in a few flashes.

A moment later, Tian Wu, dressed in fiery red, appeared in a rage, but Du Fan had already vanished without a trace and escaped.

Tian Laoda stood at the door, his whole being exuding murderous intent. Only then did she realize that the bamboo house she was in had been completely surrounded by these damned bandits.

"You...you're asking for death!" Tian Wuxiu's beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, then clenched her fists, and a series of chilling "crack" sounds came out one after another.

The bandits, witnessing this scene, were already terrified and their souls had left their bodies. Before Boss Tian could make a move, they all cried out in alarm and scattered in a panic.

However, a few bandits were a little too slow and were beaten half to death on the spot by the enraged Boss Tian. It looks like they won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a month...

……

Four days later, almost the entire Green Forest Stronghold mobilized. The bandits gathered in the stronghold courtyard, shouting and cursing incessantly. This scene was very similar to the day Du Fan kicked down the stronghold a month or so ago.

The arena in the village courtyard had been rebuilt at some point.

At this moment, two people stood on the arena, and a great battle was about to break out.

One of them was none other than Li Daoming, the current leader of the Green Forest Stronghold, while the other was Qi Yufeng, the legendary master whom the Zhuxuan Gang had reportedly hired at great expense.

Around the arena, besides the hundred or so bandits from the Green Forest Village, there were more than twenty unfamiliar men. These men were all burly and fierce-looking, clearly not people to be trifled with.

One of them, dressed in a purple-red brocade robe, had an extraordinary appearance. His demeanor and temperament were slightly different from the others. This person was Zhu Xiaotian, the current leader of the Zhuxuan Gang.

The other twenty-odd burly men were naturally members of the Zhuxuan Gang who had come with Zhu Xiaotian to raid the stronghold.

At this moment, Tian Wu stood with the four elders of the Green Forest. The four elders had a solemn expression on their faces, while Tian Wu's gaze towards Du Fan contained not only solemnity but also a hint of worry.

"I had long heard that Green Forest Stronghold had a new young leader. It is said that this person is highly skilled in martial arts and unparalleled in the world. I had some guesses about him at the time, and seeing him today, I can confirm it completely. Fellow Daoist Li, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qi Yufeng smiled slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Qi is not a top expert invited by the Zhuxuan Gang. If I am not mistaken, the so-called leader of the Zhuxuan Gang, Zhu Xiaotian, is most likely a puppet secretly controlled by you. As for his title as leader, it should be a mere formality at this point." Du Fan glanced at the other party and spoke indifferently.

"Fellow Daoist Li is indeed a smart person. Communicating with smart people is often both time-saving and effortless."

"Since that's the case, I'll be frank. I've decided to take Green Forest Stronghold. If you're willing to cooperate, I'll spare your life during the battle later. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill you." Qi Yufeng still had a smile on his lips, but the content of his words was icy cold.

"With your cultivation level of only the first level of Qi Refining?" Du Fan was both angry and amused. He was being threatened by a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. What kind of expression would the other party have if he knew his true cultivation level?

"Hehe, although my cultivation is not high, I am confident that I can easily deal with a mere quasi-Qi Refining stage cultivator who has no magic power." Qi Yufeng chuckled, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, you've been mingling among mortal forces simply to avoid the enslavement of Crescent Island and find a place to settle down so you can focus on your cultivation. Is it really necessary for you to do this?" Du Fan frowned. The other party's purpose in coming here was clearly to expand his power, but cultivators value cultivation above all else and are mostly unwilling to be entangled in trivial matters. He was indeed somewhat puzzled by Qi Yufeng's actions.
