Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Persuading to Make Peace

Chen Fan made his way to the depths of the woods before he finally stopped.

His Divine Sense covered an area with a hundred meters radius and, to his surprise, discovered that a figure was already hiding atop a large tree nearby—it was Shangguan Yu.

"Here to enjoy the show?" Chen Fan muttered in his mind before turning around to the man following behind him and asked, "Are you Ruan Qing?"

Ruan Qing wasn’t too surprised, "I didn’t expect you’d actually notice me. Seems like you do have some skills."

After speaking, he tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a sinister and icy countenance. He then ripped off his casually grabbed clothing to unveil a black body-tight suit underneath, with throwing darts and similar weapons tucked at his waist.

Chen Fan sized him up and raised an eyebrow, "You do live up to your nickname though. Just one glance at you gives off a chilly vibe. No wonder you’re called ’Viper’."

Ruan Qing’s face was expressionless, "You know my name, so you should also be clear about why I’m here. I’m quite short on cash lately, so I have to trade your life for the bounty. I hope you won’t hold it against me once you’re in the Netherworld."

Chen Fan’s eyebrows lifted, "If that’s how you’re going to talk, then I see no need to spare your life."

Ruan Qing smirked, "You’re quite confident."

Chen Fan had no intention of wasting time. Since the other party had come for his life, there was no need for him to exchange pleasantries. He planned to take action right away.

However, at that moment, the boy in the duckbill cap brought his classmates over to their location.

"What are they doing coming over here?" Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Ruan Qing also noticed the students, giving them a sidelong glance but not paying much heed.

The boy in the duckbill cap led his classmates to hide behind a clump of bushes, stealing glances in Chen Fan and Ruan Qing’s direction.

A girl complained unhappily, "Why’d you bring us here? There’s nothing but weeds; there’s nothing to see."

The boy in the duckbill cap gestured for silence and whispered, "Didn’t you see they look like they’re about to fight? Chen Fan is so strong, and that guy daring to come after him must be no ordinary person. Maybe a huge battle will break out here soon."

The girl glanced toward Chen Fan with a look full of disdain, "They do look like they’re going to fight, but it’s probably just a sparring match. Plus, they’re both grown men acting so childish; it’s just ridiculous."

The others nodded in agreement.

"Exactly. What’s so exciting about ordinary people fighting? You’ve been brainwashed by those novels and movies, imagining things that just aren’t there."

"Let’s just drop it. Whether or not they’re strong, as long as they start fighting, it will be quite the show. There’s no harm in us watching."

...

The boy in the duckbill cap’s face darkened, but the reason he brought his classmates here was to prove that what he said wasn’t false.

He looked at Chen Fan and Ruan Qing with expectation, his heart whispering for them to start fighting, to show these ignorant fools just how terrifying true Martial Arts masters could be.

Just then, a quiet-looking girl with glasses suddenly stood up. With a burst of righteous fervor, she said, "Our teachers have taught us that people should treat each other kindly. If these two start fighting and inadvertently hurt each other, it could be terrible. Although it’s none of our business, since we’re here, we should step in and try to persuade them not to fight."

The boy in the duckbill cap was stunned, thinking to himself that those two could kill swathes of people with a mere gesture; her intervening would be suicidal!

Just as he was about to stop her, the quiet girl had already walked towards Chen Fan and Ruan Qing.

His face filled with horror, he quickly shouted, "Hey! Do you have a death wish? Come back here!"

The girl paid no heed and walked straight past.

The boy in the duckbill cap turned pale and murmured, "This is bad..."

The other girls looked at him in bewilderment.

"Why are you such a scaredy-cat? It’s just breaking up a fight, and I think Wang Jing is right, fighting is bad, we really should try to stop it," one girl said, and then she too walked over.

The rest followed suit.

The boy in the duckbill cap looked ashen, completely taken aback that his classmates would run over to break up a fight.

Chen Fan, watching the students approaching, looked somewhat speechless. He had overheard their conversation and hadn’t expected these students to have such a strong sense of justice that they would actually come over to stop the fight.

Ruan Qing’s face showed a sneer as he said, "Such bothersome little fry. It seems I’ll have to get rid of them before I kill you."

No sooner had he spoken than he raised his hand and shot several streams of Inner Strength in the direction of the girls.

The Inner Strength turned into streaks of light, whistling away, too fast for the naked eye to see.

The girls only heard inexplicable noises by their ears.

Upon seeing this, Chen Fan’s figure vanished on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he transported the girls to a different place.

Ruan Qing’s Inner Strength collided with several large trees, exploding on impact and creating terrifyingly large holes in their trunks.

The girls were still unclear what had happened, only feeling a blur before their eyes. The next second, they discovered themselves ten meters away, their faces a picture of confusion.

One girl, still being pulled by Chen Fan, immediately yelled, "You... what are you doing! Who allowed you to touch me!"

Chen Fan ignored her and turned to Ruan Qing, "Attacking students, is that what you so-called experts on the Heavenly List do, completely without any bottom line?"

Ruan Qing scoffed, "You don’t understand the situation overseas. There, power is everything. All such so-called morals, laws, and bottom lines are a joke. These are just minnows. If they’re killed, so what? There’s nothing to fuss about."

The girls didn’t understand what the two men were talking about.

One girl looked at Chen Fan irritably, "Do you two have some sort of problem, going on about fighting and killing? Do you really think you’re some kind of martial arts masters?"

She turned to Chen Fan, "And you, why did you suddenly pull us? Do you have any idea how scared we were?"

Just then, the trees that had been struck by Ruan Qing’s Inner Strength could no longer bear the strain and crashed down with a tremendous noise.

Only then did the girls turn their heads to look behind them.

Upon seeing the horrifyingly large holes in the trunks of the trees, each of them felt a shudder of terror, their faces turned ashen, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

They all vividly remembered that they had been right where those trees had fallen.

If Chen Fan hadn’t moved them, it would have been their bodies that were blown apart!

"This is... this is too terrifying, just too terrifying. I want my mom, waaah..."
