...

Old Pig quickly regained his composure.

Unlike the other two, he showed no fear. Instead, his face was full of disdain.

"Damn! What's so great about the Stray Dog Pack? Just three of you dare to ambush us?!"

Old Pig felt insulted.

However, this feeling of being underestimated quickly vanished.

In an instant, Qiao Fei had already killed another person.

Qiao Fei's figure was like a ghost, wielding a Tang sword. Wherever she passed, she left a trail of afterimages.

"Soul Servant: Fury!"

Old Pig's eyes turned red, and his giant hammer also glowed with a crimson light!

Although his movements were not as fast as Qiao Fei's, the hammer swung with a whistling sound, giving an overwhelming sense of pressure!

"Kid, take care of yourself, I don't have the energy to look after you!"

Qiao Fei said in a low voice.

"Alright! Let's each do our own thing!"

Ning Fan replied and directly faced Old Pig.

Seeing Ning Fan's confidence, Hui Zi and Qiao Fei's eyes flashed with amazement.

They didn't know what Ning Fan had experienced in District F27, but they could clearly feel that this kid had become stronger and more confident!

Clang!

The giant hammer fell heavily on Ning Fan's sword, numbing his arm!

"Little brat! I'll smash you to death first!"

Old Pig's anger surged.

The Skull Gang had already lost two people, and he had realized that Ning Fan's intention to collect the Elixir was just a smokescreen! The real purpose was to lure them out of the district!

In fact, this kid didn't have much wealth on him at all!

Losing two people without getting any money, this was what angered him the most!

Another hammer fell, but this time Ning Fan didn't meet it head-on.

Competing in strength with the enraged Old Pig... There was no need!

Ning Fan's figure flashed, and his sword swung out at the same time.

He wanted to find the feeling of Serene Blade's sword...

Swish!

The sword slashed Old Pig's arm.

Something felt off!

Although he had injured Old Pig, there was no joy on Ning Fan's face. Instead, he frowned.

If this sword had been wielded by Serene Blade, it should have taken Old Pig's life directly!

"I! Will! Kill! You!"

Old Pig's voice was filled with intense fury!

This was the characteristic of his Soul Servant. Once injured, it would stimulate his fighting spirit for a short time, thereby enhancing his combat power.

Old Pig swung his hammer even faster, and the force of his blows became increasingly fierce!

"Kid, can you handle it?"

Over there, Qiao Fei had taken care of another person.

Hui Zi, after claiming another life, also looked at Ning Fan with concern.

They could see that this Old Pig was not weak, especially after being injured, when he entered a more frenzied state.

"No problem!"

Ning Fan shouted, once again charging towards Old Pig with his sword!

The hammer came down, aiming for his head.

Ning Fan was certain that if this hammer hit him, his head would shatter like a watermelon!

However, this time Ning Fan didn't dodge or evade. He thrust out his sword, meeting the hammer head-on!

"Kid, you!"

Qiao Fei's face showed a rare expression of terror.

But in the next second, she was stunned.

Ning Fan's sword had pierced through Old Pig's neck.

The tip of the sword, dripping with fresh blood, emerged from the back of Old Pig's neck.

Drip, drip...

The sound of blood falling on the soil was somewhat jarring.

Old Pig still held the hammer in his hand, but his eyes were filled with disbelief.

That hammer was less than two inches from Ning Fan's head!

If Ning Fan's sword thrust had been off by even a bit, he would have been the one to die!

On Ning Fan's face, there was no fear of a narrow escape, but rather intense excitement!

"I... did it! This is the feeling!"

Although this sword strike was still far from what Serene Blade could do, Ning Fan could feel that he had grasped some of the essence.

And this sword strike of his had shocked everyone, including Hui Zi and Qiao Fei.

What a dazzling sword!

Moreover, the two of them noticed a very serious issue - it seemed that Ning Fan hadn't used a Soul Servant!

But now was obviously not the time to seek answers. Taking advantage of the Skull Gang's momentary stupor, the two came to their senses and continued to reap the lives of their opponents.

Old Pig's death was a huge blow to the Skull Gang members.

Coupled with Qiao Fei and Hui Zi's fierce attacks, in an instant, the Skull Gang was scattered!

"Don't, don't kill me!"

The only person still alive from the Skull Gang had completely given up resistance. Kneeling on the ground with hands clasped, he cried and begged for mercy: "You have a grudge with the War Bear, but with us... it has nothing to do with us!!"

The War Bear people were still alive. The best dish is always saved for last!

Qiao Fei looked at the pleading man, her beautiful eyes flickering, then turned to Ning Fan.

She and Hui Zi didn't know what grudges the Skull Gang had with Ning Fan inside the district. How to deal with them, of course, was up to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan said nothing, but walked forward.

Swish!

The man's cries stopped abruptly. A thin line of blood appeared on his neck.

The blood line gradually widened, and finally...

Puff!

A large spray of blood mist erupted into the air!

Thud!

The man fell to the ground, a pool of blood slowly forming.

Qiao Fei narrowed her eyes, looking at Ning Fan. This kid had not only become stronger... He had also become more ruthless!

"Brother Hui, didn't you teach me? There's no need to be soft-hearted... towards enemies."

Ning Fan looked at Hui Zi.

Hui Zi was also a bit stunned. It wasn't that he couldn't accept such methods, but rather... Seeing such ruthlessness from Ning Fan was somewhat difficult to adapt to.

What had this kid experienced... in these few days in District F27?

Ning Fan ignored their reactions and squatted down, starting to loot the belongings of the Skull Gang members.

"The Skull Gang is a Marauder team from District F27. Their stuff won't be easy to dispose of there. We'll sell them when we change locations!"

Ning Fan's thoughts were clear.

"You... never intended to let them live from the moment you left the district?"

Qiao Fei grasped the key point.

"Mm, just getting some travel money."

Ning Fan nodded with a smile, lifting a bag of spoils: "These things should sell for about fifty to eighty thousand. That should be enough."

"Not bad, kid! You've grown quite bold!"

Hui Zi, not as burdened by thoughts, patted Ning Fan's shoulder with a grin.

The three chatted as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the remaining three from the War Bear.

Monkey's eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Friends, the previous conflict was our fault! But our boss is also dead now, so this account, if we settle it here, isn't it about even?"

The three turned to look at him simultaneously.

Monkey spoke earnestly: "We're all in the Marauder business, there's no need to pass up money! To be honest, who isn't fighting to live a few more days?"

Ning Fan walked towards Monkey.

Monkey immediately became nervous. After what he had just witnessed, he dared not show any contempt towards Ning Fan. This young-looking child had methods ruthless enough!

Arriving in front of Monkey, Ning Fan squatted down, looking at him at eye level.

"Little brother! Killing us won't do you any good!"

Monkey licked his dry lips and said fawningly: "The Stray Dog Pack is now down to just the three of you, and you're short on manpower. Although we three might be lacking in combat ability, we can still do a lot in terms of support! If you keep us..."

"The Stray Dog Pack only recruits stray dogs, not beasts."

Qiao Fei interrupted in a low voice.

Ning Fan smiled and pointed at Qiao Fei with his thumb: "Our captain said we won't take you."

As he spoke, Ning Fan had already raised his sword. The sword still carried a heavy smell of blood.

Monkey immediately became flustered.

"Don't, don't kill me, I... I'm really useful!"

Ning Fan, however, had no intention of listening to his nonsense anymore and thrust the sword through his thigh.

How to repay this grudge was still up to Qiao Fei to decide. This sword thrust could only be considered as interest.

"Ah!!"

Monkey let out an agonized scream, sweat immediately breaking out on his forehead.

In his desperation, he shouted frantically: "Please! Don't kill me! I... I have news about your captain!!"

Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, instinctively looking towards Qiao Fei.

But Monkey shouted again: "Not her!! It's that... the one with the big beard! Right! The one called Lin Chuan!"
