Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 96 - 68: Encircling the Han Family, He Claims He’s Skilled at Defense (Part 3)
Especially those Demon Suppression Guards under Shan Jinhong’s command, they looked like they wanted to eat me alive.
"The ones we sent failed!"
Han Fei was shocked internally, but his face remained calm as ever: "What are you doing? This is the Han Family. Who gave you the courage to surround us?"
With his men almost in position, Wei Fan turned back coldly: "Surprised, aren’t you?"
Han Fei’s pupils contracted; Wei Fan asking this meant he had already learned that the Han Family had sent someone to kill him.
Just which idiot was sent to kill Wei Fan? Failing is one thing, but getting the Han Family involved is unforgivable.
He scanned the Demon Suppression Guards and found that Guo Hongyi wasn’t there, and his heart sank deeper.
"I’m asking why you’re surrounding my house and mobilizing troops without authorization. Do you know that’s a capital offense?"
Han Fei’s voice was stern, masking the unease in his heart.
Wei Fan slowly drew the Celestial Crystal Saber, no longer hiding his killing intent: "The Han Family colluded with Wei Changqing. Surrender immediately, or face extermination."
His gaze fell on Han Fei; there wasn’t any response from the panel, indicating Han Fei had no connection with Wei Changqing.
But that wasn’t important. When these forces colluded with the Demon Fiends, it wasn’t public knowledge, only a few people knew.
Whether or not Han Fei had colluded with Wei Changqing, as long as the Han Family did, it was no different from him doing it.
"Surrender now, or face extermination!"
Clang...
Li Fengyi, Su Guangwen, and the others behind Wei Fan drew their weapons, causing Han Fei’s expression to dramatically change: "Wei Fan, how dare you falsely accuse the Han Family? Do you think you control the Demon Suppression Bureau?"
Wei Fan said nothing more, stepping forward and casually slashing at Han Fei.
Han Fei never expected Wei Fan to act so quickly, nor that he would actually dare to act. Either Wei Fan was exceedingly bold, or the Han Family truly had colluded with Wei Changqing, giving Wei Fan the authority to mobilize so many people to surround the Han Family.
But no matter the reason, he first had to withstand Wei Fan’s strike.
Han Fei hastily activated his Protective True Qi as Wei Fan’s casual strike descended.
Though it was "casual," with a terrifying force of 700,000 pounds behind it, the strike still carried the force of hundreds of thousands of pounds. Without True Qi trained to about 500 or 600 years’ worth of cultivation, it was hard to withstand.
With a muffled sound, Han Fei’s Protective True Qi shattered, and just as the blade was about to strike him, Wei Fan turned the blade flat and changed it to a slap, making Han Fei cough up blood and fly backwards.
"Bind him!"
Su Guangwen and Yu Hong stepped forward, clamping shackles onto Han Fei.
With his chest shattered, Han Fei looked at Wei Fan incredulously, unable to believe that he, at the Acupoint Opening Seventh Layer, would be defeated in one move by Wei Fan.
Seeing Han Fei bound, Wei Fan began to step towards the Han Family’s gates. But after just two steps, he saw a large number of people emerging from the Han Family’s courtyard.
"Fei’er!"
"Big brother!"
"Release my son!"
The clamor of voices made Wei Fan stop in his tracks.
It’s good that they’ve come out; saves me the trouble of going in to catch them one by one.
His gaze shifted to the person at the forefront, whose silhouette bore a resemblance to Han Fei, causing the panel to flash:
[Han Kun: Celestial Human First Layer, colluded with Demon Fiends, harmed the Human Race]
[Kill him for 100 years of power]
A glint flashed in Wei Fan’s eyes. The Han Family wasn’t just connected to Wei Changqing; they were also colluding with Demon Fiends.
Seeing his beloved son bound and his chest shattered, Han Kun radiated a terrifying aura: "How dare you act recklessly in the Han Family? Do you really think the Demon Suppression Bureau controls Su City?"
Despite his words, he didn’t dare to act directly.
The Demon Suppression Bureau indeed didn’t control Su City entirely, but when it came to matters involving Demon Fiends, the Bureau had full authority.
If there’s reason, it can be discussed rationally, but acting recklessly—the renown of the Bureau’s commanders wasn’t earned lightly; it was carved out on the battlefield.
Han Fei shouted, "Father, he is Wei Fan!"
He was reminding Han Kun.
Han Kun felt a shock at these words, his aura immediately becoming unsettled.
That useless Wei Changqing, couldn’t even handle a single Red-clothed Demon Suppression Guard.
Wei Fan pointed his long saber directly at the Han Family crowd: "The Han Family colluded with Demon Fiends and the fugitive Wei Changqing. You have ten seconds to decide whether to surrender or resist!"
Han Fei hadn’t finished yelling: "Wei Fan, stop framing the Han Family. Everyone knows how many of our sons have joined the Demon Suppression Bureau to slay demons and protect the citizens of Su City!
Many colleagues can testify. Is this how the Demon Suppression Bureau disheartens its own people?"
He glanced at his former colleagues, yet found none of them moved by his words.
He then looked at his father, Han Kun, and realized his father’s expression had long since changed.
Instantly, Han Fei’s heart sank into an ice chasm. Could the Han Family actually be colluding with Wei Changqing?
...
"I bet the Han Family will resist!"
In a concealed treetop, Li Chuyang and Situ Ying stood side by side, peering at the distant Han Mansion.
Situ Ying rolled his eyes at the words: "Isn’t that obvious? The Han Family’s clearly been colluding with Wei Changqing. Have you ever seen someone colluding with Demon Fiends surrender quietly? Resistance gives them a fighting chance."
Li Chuyang rolled his eyes as well: "You knew they’d resist, huh? I thought you believed they wouldn’t. Since you know they’ll resist, why stay here? Worried Han Kun can’t kill enough of your subordinates, or do you think you have too many?"
Due to Shan Jinhong’s situation, the Demon Suppression Bureau was also wary that the Han Family’s issue might be a trap, so they sent Li Chuyang and Situ Ying together to handle it.
But Li Chuyang never thought that Captain Situ Ying would avoid confrontation and hide with him instead.
Situ Ying shook his head: "The likes of Han Kun couldn’t kill under my watch even if he trained for another hundred years. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
There’s a chance someone might be my junior apprentice who claimed to have personally killed Wei Changqing, and I want to see how he handles Han Kun’s attack."
Li Chuyang was taken aback: "The Second Commander accepted a disciple? That Demon Suppression Guard called Wei Fan—his body faintly glows like glazed glass, indicating he’s cultivated the Glazed Treasure Body to the Sixth Layer, a Body Refining Martial Artist. Since when does the Second Commander fancy muscle-bound body refiners like us?
A Body Refining Sixth Layer killing a Celestial Martial Artist—do you buy such nonsense?
Besides, if he’s at the Body Refining Sixth Layer, he probably hasn’t been in the Demon Suppression Bureau for a short time. If he’s the Second Commander’s disciple, wouldn’t you, as his senior brother, know?"
The Demon Suppression Bureau has two to three thousand people in just the Combat Battalion. Even though Li Chuyang had been with the Bureau for years, he couldn’t possibly know all the Demon Suppression Guards. Based on Wei Fan’s cultivation, he assumed Wei Fan had been with the Bureau for many years.
Situ Ying shook his head: "Wei Fan is a newbie, having been in the Demon Suppression Bureau for just about ten days. Do you think I’m so brainless that I’d randomly claim a junior?
He’s only been in the Bureau for a few days, yet he’s used the Soul-Slaying Demon-slaying Saber that my master taught. How could he possibly use it without being a disciple my master took in externally?"
Li Chuyang was taken aback: "You say he’s been with the Bureau for only ten days or so?"
Ten days or so matches the timeframe when Reception Envoy Zhou Tong went to find my master, claiming to introduce a disciple.
Could this Wei Fan be the genius Zhou Tong spoke of?
Situ Ying nodded: "Indeed! This guy talks nonsense, clearly skilled in the Soul-Slaying Demon-slaying Saber, yet claims to specialize in defense. Let’s see how he defends against Han Kun’s attack later.
It’s about to start. Later, you help me keep an eye on the others; we can’t afford to lose more people."
