Chapter 102 – Kill you, apologize to you
Chapter 102 – Kill you, apologize to you
Meng Fan raised the Hong Qi Sword once again.
Mountain Splitting Sword... Momentum!
Liu Feixing's complexion drastically changed, sensing the power contained within Meng Fan's strike, he exclaimed in panic, "You promised that if I took one of your strikes, you'd let me go. How can you go back on your word?"
Go back on my word?
Meng Fan let out a cold laugh.
"Sorry, breaking my promise to you, I can apologize for that."
But an apology is just an apology, it doesn't stop me from killing you!
The Hong Qi Sword in Meng Fan's hand descended completely.
The Mountain Splitting Sword Momentum, not Sword Intent.
With Liu Feixing's capabilities, he had no way to defend against it!
As Meng Fan's sword fell, so did Liu Feixing's head.
Slaying demons in the Demon Realm, Meng Fan habitually decapitated his foes.
Now, after getting used to it, he subconsciously started beheading humans too!
It has to be said, it was indeed satisfying.
This wasn't the first time Meng Fan had killed someone. When he killed Nie Bing, he even blasted him into nothingness, leaving not a single intact bone or piece of flesh to be found.
At this moment, as Meng Fan severed Liu Feixing's head, he felt no discomfort.
Perhaps, deep down, he was just a cold-blooded and ruthless person!
As the murderer, Meng Fan felt no discomfort; on the contrary, Liu Yanping, Yang Xu, Zhou Min, and Li Xuerou beside him turned pale, their throats churning.
Even two seconds later, Liu Yanping turned her head away, beginning to retch.
Li Xuerou and Zhou Min, the two young ladies, weren't faring much better, feeling nauseous.
Yang Xu, being a man, tried to keep himself calm, but his trembling fingertips betrayed him.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally managed to compose himself, then asked Meng Fan, "Senior Brother, didn't you say you'd let him go if he took one of your strikes?"
He was genuinely puzzled; it was normal for him and Zhou Min to despise this Limitless Sword Sect disciple.
But their Senior Brother had no grudges with the man, so why kill him?
And to do so in such a deceitful manner!
Yang Xu could feel that initially, their Senior Brother had intended to spare the Limitless Sword Sect disciple, which is why he said he'd let him go after taking one strike.
But in the end, for some reason, their Senior Brother changed his mind.
Meng Fan glanced at Yang Xu and casually said, "Those who offend the Shu Mountain Sword Sect will be pursued and eliminated, no matter the distance!"
He said this offhandedly, of course not intending to reveal his true thoughts to Yang Xu.
Moreover, by saying this, he made it seem like he killed Liu Feixing for the sake of Yang Xu and Zhou Min, putting them in his debt.
It made him appear as if he took action for their sake!
An hour later, Yang Xu and Zhou Min had somewhat recovered, and Meng Fan bade farewell to the three of them, not continuing together.
Helping was one thing, but Meng Fan didn't want to be burdened with two liabilities the whole way.
After leaving, Liu Yanping couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Meng Fan, why did you kill Liu Feixing?
I could feel that you were prepared to spare his life earlier, otherwise, you wouldn't have made the condition for him to take one of your strikes.
Don't give me that 'offenders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect will be pursued and eliminated' line, I don't believe you have such strong clan loyalty!"
Meng Fan gave Liu Yanping a look and said irritably, "Why so many questions? If I find him disagreeable, why not just kill him? Besides, didn't he bully you before? Don't you think he deserved to die?"
Li Xuerou suddenly interjected, "If we hadn't shown up, Yang Xu and Zhou Min would surely be dead by his hand, so Brother Meng Fan did nothing wrong in killing him!"
Actually, ever since Meng Fan killed Liu Feixing, Li Xuerou had been somewhat out of sorts.
She was very clear that Meng Fan did nothing wrong in killing Liu Feixing; the man deserved to die!
But the thought of Meng Fan killing someone still made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Because she had never killed anyone before!
And in her memory, Brother Meng Fan had never killed anyone either.
But now, Brother Meng Fan had become someone who killed without batting an eye, which was difficult for her to accept.
The harder it was to accept, the more she tried to convince herself.
Her way of convincing herself was to repeatedly tell herself that Liu Feixing deserved to die!
The reason for these conflicted thoughts was mainly that Li Xuerou had never killed anyone; in her eyes, killing was a terrifying thing.
Once she had killed someone herself, she wouldn't have these whimsical emotions anymore.
"You're right, that guy did deserve to die!" Liu Yanping said with a smile, no longer dwelling on the issue.
However, her image of Meng Fan had changed somewhat in her mind.
In her eyes, Meng Fan had always been strong, that was beyond question.
But now she felt that Meng Fan was not only strong but also extremely ruthless!
She would have to be careful in the future, never to offend Meng Fan.
***
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.
The day the Demon Realm passage would close was drawing near, and Meng Fan and his companions were getting closer to the exit.
Finally, on the twenty-fifth day, the three of them returned to the Demon Realm passage.
Ghost Moon Valley!
The trio passed through the Demon Realm passage and successfully returned to the mundane world's Ghost Moon Valley.
Upon exiting the passage, Meng Fan saw Elder Lin.
He immediately approached Elder Lin and began to pay his respects.
"Master!"
Elder Lin smiled, a hint of satisfaction on his face, "Good to have you back. Did you encounter any danger in there?"
Meng Fan shook his head.
In truth, there were dangers.
The small danger was the fox demon in the grand hall.
The big danger was the coffins beneath the grand hall.
However, Meng Fan was someone who knew when to advance and retreat; at the sight of the coffins, he decisively withdrew, so he didn't encounter any mishaps.
These matters were not suitable for public discussion.
He might consider whether to tell Elder Lin after returning to the Sword Pavilion.
In fact, even after returning to the Sword Pavilion, he probably wouldn't bother telling Elder Lin.
Because the Demon Realm was inaccessible to those beyond the Condensation Pill Realm, telling Elder Lin was pointless.
"Eh?" Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan's shirt pocket with surprise.
Inside the pocket, a green serpent the size of a finger lay quietly, making no sound.
Although Xiao Qing was well-behaved, it still didn't escape Elder Lin's senses!
Meng Fan took the initiative to say, "Master, I subdued a demon in the Demon Realm, and it has acknowledged me as its master."
Elder Lin nodded, hearing Meng Fan's words, he didn't say anything more.
Disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect often subdued demon beasts as spirit pets; this was not unusual.
Elder Lin himself once had a spirit pet, but unfortunately, it had died in battle long ago.
Thinking of that spirit pet, a trace of sorrow crossed Elder Lin's heart.
"Master, when do we return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" Meng Fan asked Elder Lin.
Now that they had left the Demon Realm, there was no point in staying in Ghost Moon Valley; he wanted to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect as soon as possible.
"The Demon Realm passage will close in a few days, and everyone will return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect together then."
After a pause, Elder Lin said nonchalantly, "If you want to go back earlier, I can take you back now, so you don't have to abide by these messy rules."
