Chapter 54

Just like many other wealthy neighborhoods, the Jiuxi Rose Garden was built in the suburbs, but it had multiple roads leading to the city center, making it very convenient.

Due to the low occupancy rate of the wealthy neighborhood and the fact that many of the residents were kept women of powerful figures, the area became particularly quiet at night. The roads leading to the wealthy neighborhood were almost devoid of cars.

Ye Fan had been living in Jiuxi Rose Garden for nearly a month and was very familiar with the surrounding roads. He knew of one road that was rarely used.

That road was built during the construction of the Jiuxi Rose Garden and remained after the project was completed. However, due to years of heavy vehicle traffic, the road had become quite bumpy, so few people chose to use it.

Driving into the bumpy road, Ye Fan clearly saw the glaring headlights of the car behind him in the rearview mirror. The Buick LaCrosse was following him like a persistent shadow.

"Buzz!"

Shortly after, as Ye Fan was observing the surroundings and considering whether to stop, the Buick LaCrosse, like a mad steel monster, roared up from behind.

Soon, Wu He, driving the Buick LaCrosse, easily overtook Ye Fan's Audi and then slammed on the brakes.

"Screech~"

The sound of the car tires screeching against the ground broke the tranquility of the night.

A few seconds later, the Buick LaCrosse left a clear set of tire marks on the bumpy road and came to a stop, blocking the road to prevent Ye Fan from escaping.

However—

What Wu He did not expect was that before he could get out of the car, Ye Fan had already stopped his car and stepped out.

"Hey, little rookie, I didn't expect you to be so cooperative."

Seeing this, Wu He was taken aback for a moment, then got out of the car and walked toward Ye Fan with a haughty expression. "Someone has put a price on your head, and I'm here to collect!"

As he spoke, Wu He's face twisted into a sinister smile, as if he was certain of his victory.

In fact, from Wu He's perspective, this was indeed the case.

Firstly, based on the surveillance footage provided by Liu Qin, he subjectively judged that although Ye Fan had practiced external martial arts to the extreme, he was only at the initial stage of the postnatal realm and had no knowledge of internal strength. Furthermore, when Ye Fan and Su Yuxin left the Tan's Private Kitchen, he had carefully observed and found that Ye Fan was not carrying any weapons.

Given this, how could Ye Fan pose any threat to him?

Hearing Wu He's arrogant words, Ye Fan remained unmoved, standing still as Wu He approached.

"Little rookie, don't say I didn't give you a chance to struggle. Show me your three-legged cat skills!" When he was ten meters away from Ye Fan, Wu He stopped, thinking that it would be too boring to finish Ye Fan off immediately.

Seeing Wu He acting like a clown, Ye Fan beckoned to him with his fingers.

"Since you're in such a hurry to reincarnate, I'll fulfill your wish!"

Seeing Ye Fan's provocative gesture, Wu He's face changed, and he roared, leaping forward like a fierce beast, rushing toward Ye Fan.

Perhaps Ye Fan's actions had enraged Wu He, or perhaps Wu He had lost the desire to play with Ye Fan, but he used his internal strength in his attack. His speed was faster than when Ye Fan had beaten Gou Wei, and his momentum was quite impressive.

Facing this, Ye Fan remained unmoved, appearing to be intimidated by Wu He's momentum.

"Whoosh!"

With a whistling sound, Wu He reached Ye Fan, his right fist smashing forward like a heavy hammer, aiming for Ye Fan's chest.

Wu He had once been a boxer in the underground arena, capable of easily breaking bricks with his fists. Later, he was recognized by a martial arts expert, trained for three years, not only learning meditation and breaking through to the postnatal realm, but also mastering the famous "Hong Quan."

This punch was the famous "Gongzi Fuhu Quan" from "Hong Quan." Before the punch, he used his voice to enhance his momentum, making the punch powerful and fierce, arguably the strongest punch he could deliver!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As the punch was thrown, the terrifying force and speed created a whistling sound, the wind from the punch sweeping toward Ye Fan.

Ye Fan remained unmoved.

"Die!"

Seeing Ye Fan still standing there, Wu He's face twisted into a bloodthirsty smile, as if he could already see Ye Fan's heart being shattered by his punch, flying backward and spitting blood!

At that moment, Ye Fan moved, casually swinging his right hand, palm open, like a door, protecting his front.

"Slap—"

Palm and fist met, like a firecracker exploding, the sound was crisp. Wu He's fist seemed to be frozen in the air, unable to advance, the internal strength in his fist disappearing without a trace!

What... what's going on?

Wu He was startled and tried to pull back his fist and retreat!

—Too late!

After effortlessly neutralizing the internal strength in Wu He's attack, the internal strength in Ye Fan's palm surged like a sudden wave, counteracting Wu He's fist!

"Crack—"

With a jolt, the sound of bones breaking echoed, Wu He's hand bones shattered, his arm bending, the broken bone fragments exposed in the air, covered in blood, a terrifying sight!

The sudden turn of events made Wu He feel as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He retreated uncontrollably, staring at his broken arm, unable to believe what was happening!

As if to confirm Wu He's doubts, after retreating five steps, a剧烈的疼痛疯狂涌现，疼得他面部肌肉直接扭曲在了一起。

事实告诉他，叶帆以守为攻，像耍杂技一样废掉了他一条胳膊！

明白这一点后，他强忍着疼痛，抬头看向叶帆。

这一次。

他望向叶帆的目光没有狂傲，也没有嗜血，有的只是惊骇——他怎么可能这么强？

俗话说，行家一出手便知有没有。

虽然武河算不上武术界的行家，但至少在武术门派里待过，见识过强者。

在他看来，如果刚才叶帆想杀他的话，一巴掌就将他拍死了！

“想杀我的人很多，你是最弱的一个。”

在武河满是惊骇的表情中，叶帆开口了，语气看似轻描淡写，但落入武河耳中，就像是晴天霹雳，将他从惊骇中惊醒！

没有回答。

更没有叫嚣。

不等叶帆再出手，武河像是老鼠见到猫一般，撒腿就跑。

这一刻。

他忘记了自己当初说叶帆是小菜鸟的话，

也忘记了曾牛逼哄哄地说一巴掌可以拍死叶帆的话，

他只知道，如果他继续跟叶帆交手，等于老鼠舔猫B——找死！

“嗖！”

叶帆见状，足底涌泉穴陡然发劲，就地一弹，宛如一支射出去的利箭，急速射向武河。

唰！

眨眼间，叶帆如同鬼魅一般出现在武河身后，右手挥出，呈爪状，宛如探囊取物一般，一下抓向武河的脖颈。

背后冷风来袭，武河吓得一缩脖子，想也不想，反手就是一记手刀！

气血感应到武河的攻击，叶帆直接无视，任由武河的手刀斩在他的胳膊上。

“嗷！”

手刀斩中，武河只觉得自己像是斩在了一块炙热的钢铁上，传来一股灼热的疼痛。

他……他到底有多强？

眼看叶帆凭借手臂硬抗自己的攻击，武河吓得脸色狂变不止！

在他看来，就算当初看中他的那位江湖人士也没有叶帆这般强大！

惊吓之余，武河的速度慢了下来，叶帆的右手宛如虎钳一般，扣住了武河的脖颈，然后……猛然一提，像是拎小鸡一样，将武河提在空中。

空中，武河的身子紧绷在了一起，他下意识地要挣扎、反击，但转念又放弃了——理智告诉他，叶帆只要轻轻一捏，他便要去找阎王爷探讨人生！

眼看武河不再反抗，叶帆缓缓地将武河的脑袋转了过来，正对自己。

“呼……呼……”

武河急促地呼吸着，那张之前写满嚣张、狰狞的脸上此时完全被恐惧所取代，他近距离看着之前被他当作“小菜鸟”的叶帆，一动也不敢动。

“你……你到底是什么人？”

望着叶帆近在咫尺的面庞，想到资料里说叶帆只是苏雨馨的医生兼助手，武河恨不得问候乔八指十八代女性！

在他看来，以叶帆的实力，放在武术界都算高手了！

这样的高手，如果只是苏雨馨的助手，那他连给苏雨馨擦皮鞋的资格都没有！

“这话应该我问你，不过……不用问我也知道你是何家的人。”

“呃……”

武河张大嘴巴，无言以对，他虽然是乔八指的手下，但之所以会来杀叶帆，完全是因为何凤华，如此一来，叶帆说他是何家的人也没算说错。

看到武河的表情变化，叶帆基本确认了心中的猜测，不再废话，右手陡然发力，用力一捏！

“咔嚓——”

一捏之下，武河的喉结瞬间碎裂，就地断气！

The intense pain surged, contorting his facial muscles.

The reality told him that Ye Fan had used his defense as an attack, disabling his arm as if it were a circus act!

Realizing this, he endured the pain and looked up at Ye Fan.

This time.

His gaze toward Ye Fan was not arrogant or bloodthirsty, but filled with shock—how could he be so strong?

As the saying goes, an expert can tell the skill level of another with just one move.

Although Wu He was not an expert in martial arts, he had been in martial arts sects and had seen strong practitioners.

In his view, if Ye Fan had wanted to kill him, he could have done so with a single slap!

"There are many who want to kill me, but you are the weakest."

With a look of shock on Wu He's face, Ye Fan spoke, his tone seemingly casual, but to Wu He, it was like a bolt of lightning, jolting him out of his shock!

He did not respond.

Nor did he shout.

Before Ye Fan could make another move, Wu He, like a rat seeing a cat, ran away.

At that moment.

He forgot the words he had said about Ye Fan being a rookie,

And he forgot the boastful claim that he could kill Ye Fan with a single slap,

He only knew that if he continued to fight Ye Fan, it would be like a rat licking a cat's B—asking for death!

"Whoosh!"

Seeing this, Ye Fan's feet surged with energy from the Yongquan point, and he leaped forward like an arrow, rapidly shooting toward Wu He.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Fan appeared behind Wu He like a ghost, his right hand swinging out in a claw-like shape, reaching for Wu He's neck as if it were a simple task.

Feeling the cold wind from behind, Wu He shrank his neck in fear and instinctively swung a backhand knife strike!

Sensing Wu He's attack, Ye Fan ignored it, allowing Wu He's knife strike to hit his arm.

"Ow!"

The knife strike felt like hitting a hot piece of steel, causing a burning pain.

How... how strong is he?

Seeing Ye Fan withstand his attack with his arm, Wu He's face changed drastically in fear!

In his view, even the martial arts expert who had recognized him was not as strong as Ye Fan!

In shock, Wu He's speed slowed, and Ye Fan's right hand, like a vise, grabbed Wu He's neck, then... lifted him into the air as if he were a chicken.

In the air, Wu He's body tensed, instinctively wanting to struggle and counterattack, but he quickly gave up—reason told him that if Ye Fan squeezed lightly, he would be meeting the King of Hell to discuss life!

Seeing Wu He stop resisting, Ye Fan slowly turned Wu He's head to face him.

"Breath... breath..."

Wu He panted heavily, his previously arrogant and sinister face now completely filled with fear. He looked at Ye Fan, who had been called a "rookie" by him, not daring to move.

"Who... who are you?"

Looking at Ye Fan's face up close, thinking about the information that said Ye Fan was just Su Yuxin's doctor and assistant, Wu He wished he could curse the women of Qiao Bazi's eighteen generations!

In his view, with Ye Fan's strength, he would be considered a master in the martial arts world!

Such a master, if he were just Su Yuxin's assistant, would not even have the qualifications to polish her shoes!

"You should be the one asking me, but... I already know you are from the He family."

"Uh..."

Wu He's mouth opened wide, speechless. Although he was Qiao Bazi's subordinate, he had come to kill Ye Fan because of He Fenghua, so Ye Fan was not wrong in saying he was from the He family.

Seeing Wu He's expression change, Ye Fan confirmed his suspicions and, without further ado, suddenly exerted force with his right hand, squeezing hard!

"Crack—"

With a squeeze, Wu He's Adam's apple shattered instantly, and he died on the spot!
