Chapter 322: The Truth Behind the Luo Family Massacre?
The two people and the dog instinctively kept their distance from Qi Yuan.
After all, the Tracing Dog's words were quite shocking.
With such a strong newcomer like Qi Yuan, everything suddenly made sense when they put the pieces together.
Qi Yuan looked at the people in front of him as if they were fools.
"Are you all missing a screw in your heads? If I were the Sea God, why wouldn’t I just marry my child bride directly?
Why go through such a convoluted way?"
Qi Yuan felt that there were too few people as smart as him in this world.
These words left An Qiao dumbfounded.
The man in black martial attire was somewhat confused... He wanted to ask what the connection was between what Qi Yuan said and whether he was the Sea God or not.
However, if the other party was the Sea God, he probably wouldn’t be talking so much with them.
This lowered his guard a little. Could it be that the other party wasn’t the Sea God after all?
At that moment, the ten-meter-high waves raised by the seawater swept from the sea towards the beach, from far to near.
The towering white waves were overwhelming.
All the villagers were trembling with fear, and the village chief's rebellious intentions vanished completely.
The waves were surging directly toward the eight-carried sedan chair.
At this moment, Xiao Mei was confined inside the sedan chair.
If the waves hit, she would undoubtedly die.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan sighed leisurely, "Why is it different from how it's portrayed on TV? Does this mean... I have to rush in and steal the bride ahead of time?"
On TV, the bride-stealing always began when they asked, "Do you?"
Now no one was asking!
He took a step forward, ready to take action.
But just then, a sudden change occurred.
A loud voice suddenly came from the sky above.
"Die... Everyone must die!"
A stumbling figure emerged, emanating a powerful aura belonging to the Jade Blood Realm.
That figure suddenly appeared and thrust a palm forward.
A surge of blood-red murderous energy boiled, a white jade-like light flickered, and faintly, eighteen bloody palms could be seen.
The terrifying cry of a giant beast also sounded at this moment.
Clearly, this was a gifted martial technique being used by a powerful man of the Jade Blood Realm.
The mighty palm strike hit the giant wave.
Eighteen blood palms continuously slapped against the wave.
Bang!
The wave churned and shattered under the impact of that palm strike.
"That's... the madman!"
"Why is he attacking the Sea God?"
An Qiao was astonished.
The person who made the move was the insane man they had been secretly following.
The deranged man hovered in midair, his hair disheveled, obscuring his face.
However, his presence in the air exerted tremendous pressure on almost everyone present.
Such a palm strike was beyond human capability.
Even if faced with a thousand riders, he could probably escape unscathed.
The madman shattered the wave, his clothes drenched. He stood amidst the waves, his face twisted in fury, "Demons... They should all die!"
He roared and struck towards the sea again.
Each blow hit the water, raising waves, but to no avail.
The village chief trembled on the high platform.
The other villagers felt a wave of fear wash over them.
"He’s truly gone mad. Attacking wildly like this, recklessly using up his blood martial energy—how will he fight when the Sea God appears?"
An Qiao was anxious.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
"Who is this person? Clearly, there are no Jade Blood Realm warriors in Yunyan County!"
The man in black martial attire was puzzled, watching the madman pounding the sea.
"He is... Luo Bufan!" At this moment, a heavy voice rang out.
Two men quietly appeared near An Qiao.
Seeing the newcomers, An Qiao's face lit up with joy, "Captain!"
Seeing the captain calmed her down.
Although the captain wasn't at the Jade Blood Realm, he was at the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm, making him the strongest among them.
The captain's gaze fell on Qi Yuan, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "You actually made it here."
Qi Yuan looked at Chen Fan and shrugged, "What a coincidence, we ended up matched together."
Seeing the captain knew Qi Yuan, An Qiao and the man in black martial attire felt their doubts dissipate.
The Tracing Dog, however, wore a peculiar expression. It sniffed forcefully but said nothing.
Everyone's attention shifted back to the madman in the distance.
"Luo Bufan, he's the Luo Bufan from the Luo family?" An Qiao had a sudden realization, "Wasn't he just in the Qi and Blood Realm? How did he reach the Jade Blood Realm?"
Luo Bufan going mad was understandable; after all, his whole family was murdered, and his fiancée’s family was wiped out too.
But his sudden leap in strength was abnormal.
Time was running out for Yunyan County.
Luo Bufan, always known as a demon-slaying hero, grew anxious but was powerless.
Without Jade Blood Realm strength, he couldn’t intervene in such major events.
Then one day, his friend casually mentioned a bloody method to increase one’s power.
At that time, his heart wavered for a moment but was quickly suppressed.
On one side were the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Yunyan County, and on the other were his closest kin.
For several days, he was in a state of extreme confusion, even hallucinating.
Finally, when he regained his senses, everyone was dead.
Dead.
All dead.
“Brother Bufan, I always thought you were a righteous man, so I told you a method to increase your power.
Who knew... you would really use it? Alas, it’s all my fault.
I shouldn’t have told you about it. I’m sorry to your parents, even more sorry to Xinlian.
I didn’t protect her,”
At this moment, a young man emerged from the crowd, his face full of guilt and deep remorse.
He looked at the corpse of Xinlian in her bridal attire, a flash of deep affection in his eyes.
Luo Bufan sat on the ground, his mind lost.
The young man continued, “Xinlian won’t forgive you, and neither will I!”
Luo Bufan’s aura grew erratic, his blood energy boiling, as if possessed by demons.
“This is truly an interesting drama.” Not far away, Qi Yuan, lacking any melon seeds to snack on, could only clap his hands. “Every character, no matter how far or close, arrives right on cue.”
“Hmm?” An Qiao, who was engrossed in Luo Bufan’s ruthlessness, was momentarily puzzled, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence that Luo Bufan’s friend showed up right when he did?
Just like in a TV drama.
No, this is a TV drama. When would something this coincidental happen in real life?
A bunch of people keep berating a single person endlessly, just waiting for him to...”
Qi Yuan didn’t finish his sentence.
An Qiao seemed to be pondering.
The man in black martial attire, however, was extremely anxious, “What should we do? If Luo Bufan dies, we’re next.
This Sea God clearly isn’t a good demon!”
“Why hasn’t this mission ended yet? Could there be more to the story?”
The Demon Subduing Division members were all tense.
The Sea God’s cold gaze fell on Luo Bufan, his words biting: “Luo Bufan, if you don’t end your life, how can you face your loved ones?”
“I...”
“Brother Bufan, killing demands atonement.
If you end your life now, Xinlian... might forgive you.”
Luo Bufan sat on the ground, his hair disheveled, his mind in disarray.
He raised his hand and placed it on his head, as if preparing to bring it down in the next moment to atone for his sins.
But at that moment, Chen Fan suddenly leaped forward, shouting loudly: “Luo Bufan, what’s done is done!
The most important thing now is to kill the demon!
Do you want the 176 lives of the Luo family to have been for nothing?
Kill it first, and then you can die later!”
Hearing Chen Fan’s words, Luo Bufan’s hand paused in midair.
He seemed to be pondering Chen Fan’s words.
“Brother Bufan, do you think you’re worthy of Xinlian?” Luo Bufan’s friend continued, “Back then, we both pursued Xinlian.
In the end, I chose to give up.
Didn’t you promise me that you would love Xinlian all your life, protect her?
And what happened?
You killed her with your own hands. She died in the arms of the demon-slaying hero she revered, the man she loved the most!”
Luo Bufan’s eyes, which had briefly cleared, clouded over again.
In his heart, he felt the stirrings of a desire for death.
“If I were you, I would end my life right now,” Luo Bufan’s friend continued, then looked at Chen Fan, “You believe these government lackeys?
Back then, when we sought help from the government, what did they do?
They asked us to come up with 100,000 taels of silver, and after the Luo and Chen families managed to gather it, what then?
They took the money but did nothing!
How is he, a government lackey, qualified to meddle in Yunyan County’s affairs? Because of the uniform he’s wearing?”
Luo Bufan’s friend was filled with righteous indignation, seemingly harboring deep resentment toward the government.
At that moment, Chen Fan ripped off a layer of skin from his face, his voice heavy: “Because I am... Luo Bufan!”
As the human skin mask was removed, Chen Fan revealed a face that was 80% similar to Luo Bufan's.
