Chapter 1637: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
"So many people, it’s quite lively." Gu Fan greeted the members of the X Legion: "Everyone, we have no bad blood between us, and I don’t want a massacre on my hands. Please do me a favor—let’s pretend we never met today, and go our separate ways. What do you say?"
"What nonsense." Lie Kong snorted coldly and commanded his subordinates to attack.
However, not a single member of the X Legion dared to move. Everyone was intimidated by Gu Fan’s overwhelming aura—the thought of charging forward seemed like throwing their lives away.
Seeing his subordinates cowering, Lie Kong’s face turned red with fury. He issued a harsh order: "Anyone who dares retreat in fear will be executed on the spot!"
Under immense pressure, the X Legion members began approaching Gu Fan slowly. Their bodies trembled, and their hands holding weapons were visibly unsteady.
Gu Fan pointed at Lie Kong. "Hey, stop making it hard for them. Since you’re shouting so loudly, why don’t you step forward yourself? I despise people like you—too afraid to fight, yet eager to send others to their deaths."
"You want to fight me? Let’s see if you’re qualified first." Lie Kong wasn’t foolish enough to act recklessly without understanding the masked man’s true identity or intentions.
"If you won’t come, then I will!" Gu Fan charged at Lie Kong, his aura so imposing that it sent a shockwave of terror straight into Lie Kong’s heart.
Lie Kong immediately turned tail, purposely dodging into crowds where it was harder to be targeted.
"What the hell, you call yourself a skilled fighter? Where’s your dignity?" Gu Fan shouted as he pursued Lie Kong, weaving around the gathered people. He almost lost him several times.
Lie Kong didn’t respond. His focus was entirely on escaping—face and reputation clearly meant nothing compared to survival.
