Chapter 420: Chapter 373 Southwest Storm IX

"Brother, who is that person ahead?"

Seeing that Li Kui didn’t respond, but just looked forward with a face full of horror, Li Wei followed his gaze and suddenly saw Ye Fan striding towards them, blurting out the question.

"Hiss~"

With no response, Li Kui shuddered and twitched at the corner of his mouth, immediately shifting into reverse in a panic, preparing to flee.

However—

Just as Li Kui was about to change gears, a wave of invisible Mind Power suddenly entered his forehead at the Yintang point, attacking his consciousness.

Mind Power Attack!

Terrified, Li Kui quickly abandoned the idea of driving away and instead immediately used his consciousness to mobilize his inner strength to protect his mind.

Only—

Before the inner strength Li Kui mobilized could reach his consciousness, that invisible Mind Power silently and breathlessly struck his consciousness.

Clack!

Under that strike, Li Kui’s consciousness trembled, his face turned pale as paper instantly, and he looked as if he were cursed.

"Brother, what... what’s wrong with you?"

Noticing Li Kui’s abnormal state again, Li Wei appeared somewhat panicked. In his memory, the powerful Li Kui had never lost his composure like this.

Ignoring Li Wei’s question, Li Kui quickly refocused his mind, relying on his Martial Arts Will to resist Ye Fan’s Mind Power Attack.

"Phew~"

Under Li Kui’s stubborn resistance, Ye Fan’s Mind Power vanished without a trace. Li Kui secretly sighed in relief, then suddenly realized that Ye Fan was already next to the car, calmly watching him.

Li Kui shivered all over, and also understood that Ye Fan’s recent attack wasn’t meant to kill him but merely to disturb his mind to prevent him from driving away!

"Huff... huff... huff..."

Understanding all of this, Li Kui’s breathing became rapid, and his eyes filled with fear.

Meanwhile, Li Wei, who was unaware of Ye Fan’s identity, looked at Ye Fan blankly.

"Get out of the car."

Under the gaze of both Li Kui and Li Wei, Ye Fan spoke up, his voice not loud but booming like a distant thunder in Li Kui’s ears.

Li Kui tensed in fright, then said to Li Wei, breathing rapidly, "Get... get out of the car!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kui tried hard to calm his emotions, attempting to regain his composure. No matter how hard he tried, however, the fear in his heart, like a haunting ghost, continually surrounded his mind.

Beyond the fear, the little reason left told him that Ye Fan, who defeated the Yanhuang Organization’s second most powerful young Martial Arts genius Ye Long, was far beyond his capacity to confront. The wisest thing to do was to follow what Ye Fan had said, thus pleading for Ye Fan’s forgiveness.

Realizing this, Li Kui no longer hesitated. Enduring his fear, he pushed open the car door and was the first to step out.

Seeing this, Li Wei, although he didn’t understand why Li Kui was acting so abnormal in front of Ye Fan, also smartly followed what Li Kui had said and chose to get out of the car.

"Young Master Ye."

After getting out of the car, Li Kui didn’t dare to look at Ye Fan’s seemingly calm face, but bowed and saluted immediately.

Young Master Ye?!

Astonished at hearing this address, Li Wei suddenly thought about the time two days ago when Li Kui had taken people to retaliate against Su Liuli. They were scared to act by the mere mention of Ye Fan’s name and had secretly proceeded only after consulting Mr. Hu.

Because of all this, Li Wei not only remembered Ye Fan’s name but also became curious about him. He had even specially asked Li Kui about it, but Li Kui didn’t tell him a word.

Now, hearing the address Young Master Ye, Li Wei impulsively asked, "You... you are Ye Fan?"

"Slap!"

Li Wei received a slap in response.

Under the night sky.

Li Kui slapped Li Wei to the ground!

"Brother... brother, what are you doing?"

Feeling the fiery pain on his face and seeing Li Kui’s fearful and angry appearance, Li Wei was stunned.

Because he had relied on his brother Li Kui all his life, Li Kui had been extremely good to him, even to the extent of being overly indulgent.

That indulgence made him regard Li Kui as not only a brother but secretly also as a father figure.

That indulgence allowed him to swagger around Nanli, provoking whoever he wanted without blame from Li Kui, who would always unconditionally cover for him and smooth things over.

And yet... at this moment, Li Kui had suddenly slapped him to the ground—how could he not be shocked?

At that moment.

He even felt as if he were in a dream—he couldn’t believe that his doting brother would slap him!

"You imbecile, aren’t you going to kneel and apologize to Young Master Ye?"

Looking at Li Wei’s disbelieving expression, Li Kui scolded him furiously.

Being Mr. Hu’s most valued and trusted subordinate, Li Kui possessed not only a decent Combat Power but also a not so dull mind.

Initially, he had suspected that the changes in the Southwest had something to do with Ye Fan. Now seeing Ye Fan blocking their way, he was almost certain of it.

In such a scenario, instead of apologizing and pleading for mercy after seeing Ye Fan, Li Wei directly called out Ye Fan’s full name...

This made him so angry that he nearly exploded, and also scared witless—In his view, given Ye Fan’s way of doing things, even if both brothers knelt and pleaded, Ye Fan might not show any mercy, let alone with Li Wei acting like this?

As the saying goes, the newborn calf fears not the tiger, and the ignorant knows no fear.

Li Kui was aware of Ye Fan’s identity and methods, while Li Wei only heard of Ye Fan’s great reputation and knew nothing about Ye Fan, not even being sure if the person before them was indeed Ye Fan.

Thus, instead of kneeling and apologizing to Ye Fan as Li Kui had said, he was still immersed in shock.

"Thump--"

Seeing that Li Wei remained indifferent, Li Kui didn’t dare to waste any more words and instead knelt down in front of Ye Fan, full of fear, "Ye... Young Master Ye, please spare our lives."

"I have expended so much effort to find you, and you ask me to let you go, is that possible?" Ye Fan countered.

"Uh..."

Li Kui, upon hearing this, was so frightened that his entire body shook, and then he opened his mouth, attempting to beg again, but he couldn’t utter a single word, just looking at Ye Fan with a face full of fear.

"Are you Li Wei?"

Seeing Li Kui so terrified and at a loss, Ye Fan turned his gaze toward a confused Li Wei.

"Yes... it’s me."

Li Wei nodded subconsciously.

"Ye... Young Master Ye, Lady Su is fine, she was taken away by a reclusive master from the Buddhist sect," Li Kui said nervously.

"Ye... Young Master Ye, I swear to heaven, I didn’t touch a hair on Lady Su!"

The initially confused Li Wei, upon hearing the dialogue between Ye Fan and Li Kui, had a flash of understanding and trembled as he explained, scared.

"Indeed, you didn’t touch a single hair on her, but as far as I know, you intended to sell her to the dirtiest nightclub in the Golden Triangle to have her gang-raped to death, right?"

As Ye Fan spoke, the rage in his heart seemed to ignite, aggressively surging upward, with killing intent suddenly flashing in his eyes.

"I..."

Li Wei struggled for words, speechless, partly shocked by how Ye Fan knew all this, and partly because that had indeed been his initial intent, though it hadn’t come to pass.

"Ye... Young Master Ye, at that time we didn’t know Lady Su’s identity."

Seeing the situation, Li Kui made one last desperate attempt at confession, "Moreover, when I found out that Lady Su was your friend, I didn’t lay hands on her. It was Wu Hu who forced me to take Lady Su to the Golden Triangle as a hostage..."

"Wu Hu is dead; blaming him won’t help you."

Ye Fan looked numbly at Li Kui; he was well aware that if not for the possible intervention by the master from the Buddhist sect, who could be Bodhi Wu Yin, Su Liuli likely would have already been sent to the Golden Triangle.

If so, even if he uprooted Yanhuang’s influence in the Southwest Region, he couldn’t ensure Su Liuli’s safety, and... he would also be risking his life to go to the Golden Triangle for a rescue!

Wu Hu is dead?!

Li Kui was also shocked as Ye Fan’s words echoed in his ears. Although he had previously thought that Wu Hu might have encountered trouble since he had not called, deep down, he didn’t believe that the highly capable Wu Hu could run into misfortune, let alone imagine that Wu Hu would be reporting to the King of Hell!

Even he had not considered that possibility, let alone Li Wei, who had always worshiped Wu Hu like a god.

Under the night sky.

Li Wei seemed to hear the most incredible thing in the world, staring at Ye Fan filled with horror, as if asking: Who exactly is he? How could he possibly have killed Mr. Hu so easily??

"Woo woo woo~"

The answer to Li Wei was the sound of a ghostly wind whistling.

The Ghostly Gourd appeared before Ye Fan at some point, and a stream of Evil Yin Qi blew out from the gourd, sweeping toward Li Wei.

"Ah... Ghosts!"

The sudden scene caused Li Wei to return to his senses from his shock and then he started howling in terror.

He felt as if he had been brought to hell, surrounded by darkness, with thousands of Evil Ghosts howling and shrieking as they rushed towards him, seeking his life!

Gulp!

As Li Wei’s howls echoed in his ears and he felt the rich Evil Yin Qi, Li Kui suddenly woke up, realizing that Ye Fan had manipulated the Evil Yin Qi using magic to induce hallucinations in Li Wei.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Realizing all this, Li Kui didn’t hesitate, quickly bowing repeatedly and begging Ye Fan, "Ye... Young Master Ye... we know our mistakes, please give us a way to live!"

"Ah... Ah... Bro... Save me! Save me!!"

The response to Li Kui was Li Wei’s even more terrified howl; unprecedented fear made his face turn pale, his mouth foam, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, Li Kui knew that Li Wei was at his breaking point; if Ye Fan continued to manipulate the Evil Yin Qi and attack Li Wei with illusions, Li Wei would be scared to death.

Realizing all this, Li Kui felt like an ant on a hot pan, unsure of what to do.

It’s a gamble!

A second later, Li Kui gritted his teeth, made a secret decision, his consciousness moved, Power surged, and like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he suddenly lunged toward Ye Fan!

"Whoosh!"

In a flash, Li Kui lunged in front of Ye Fan, his right fist swung out fiercely like a cannonball, aiming with all his might at Ye Fan’s Taiyang point!

The Taiyang point.

This is one of the deadly points on a human body; any normal person hit hard there would undoubtedly die.

Li Kui, not striking initially, delivered a killing move the moment he did, clearly desperate to kill Ye Fan.

"Hmph!"

Facing Li Kui’s struggle, Ye Fan snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding. Just as Li Kui’s right fist was about to smash into his Taiyang point, his right hand quickly swung, transforming into a Phantom, blocking in front of him.

"Slap--"

Fist and palm collided, Power burst forth, and Li Kui felt as if his punch’s Power had disappeared like mud into the sea.

"I promise, you will beg me to kill you!"

Ye Fan, completely unharmed, looked at Li Kui with a look that one gives to a dead man.
