Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: An Old Friend

The battle held no suspense, and in the end, the victor was Lord Xiong. With one palm strike, he shattered the heart meridian of the leader of Xuanjian Sect, and with another, he left Jian Shen gasping for his last breath.

"How does it feel? Not so pleasant, right?" Lord Xiong lifted Jian Shen, striking a triumphant pose.

Just at that moment, Gu Fan and Su Hui arrived at the battlefield, only to witness this scene and realize the situation was beyond salvage.

Seeing Gu Fan arrive, Lord Xiong displayed an infuriated demeanor, "Gu Fan, I heard the screams of the vampires. You’ve betrayed us, but I didn’t expect you’d have the courage to face me."

"Haha, Lord Xiong your hearing is indeed remarkable," Gu Fan put on a highly admiring expression, but inwardly he was extremely nervous, as it seemed Lord Xiong might be even more formidable than Xue Wang.

Lord Xiong carelessly threw the severely injured Jian Shen aside, his eyes filled with lethal intent, "I knew there was something about you, lad. Never thought you’d dare counter us. Well, I’ll make you learn that backing the wrong side comes with a bitter taste."

Gu Fan quickly explained, "Lord Xiong, hear me out, my target is only the Xue Clan. I had no intention against you, we could still sit down and have a good drink."

"Nonsense, opposing the Xue Clan means opposing me. Prepare to die," Lord Xiong said angrily, completely unwilling to listen.

Su Hui looked around; there was no viable escape route, and she thought to herself, what a mess, can’t run, can’t fight.

Meanwhile, on a small road outside the town, a group of Martial Arts practitioners frantically fled to this location. Breathless and exhausted, just as they sat down to rest, they saw a tall man approaching them.

The tall man glanced at the Martial Arts practitioners and then asked, "Can I inquire what exactly happened up ahead that has you all in such a panic?"

Just as a few Martial Arts practitioners were about to respond, the tall man recognized them, "Ah, it’s you guys. I’ve been looking for you. I heard you took quite a bit of good stuff from my store."

"What? Could it be you are from the World’s Number One Gambling House?" The Martial Arts practitioners were terrified; they knew the consequences of their actions, but didn’t expect to be found so quickly.

The tall man added another sentence, "You are out of luck. I was simply too bored and needed something to do, so I’ve come to hunt you down, meaning you have no chance of leaving here alive."

The Martial Arts practitioners immediately demanded, "Who exactly are you?"

"Me, the real boss of the World’s Number One Gambling House." After speaking, the tall man took action. Not only was his speed fast and his strength domineering, but more crucially, no matter how the practitioners wielded their weapons against him, he appeared unbothered as his wounds healed instantly.

After dealing with those Martial Arts practitioners, the tall man shook his head with a sigh, "Too easy, no challenge at all. I’ve overestimated these Martial Arts practitioners. I should have challenged a few peerless experts instead."

Before leaving, the tall man glanced over at the nearby town, aware that a battle was taking place, so he decided impulsively to intimidate the brawlers a bit.

Thus, the tall man howled towards the sky, his roar thunderous, shaking the wilderness, as if everything in the world was suppressed by his voice.

People in the town, upon hearing such a roar, were terrified, thinking another formidable figure had arrived.

All the surviving Martial Arts practitioners were astounded by such a roar, so profound in power; surely, the one coming was a peerless expert, even stronger than Jian Shen.

Xue Wang and his followers had just escaped into a gloomy forest when they heard this deafening roar. Their hearts skipped a beat, thinking it was lucky they had fled quickly, or else facing such a powerful expert would have been troublesome.

Lin Xi, Jin Yi, and Lu Bei reached a small slope and also heard the roar, feeling their heads buzz, all shocked. Who was this, possessing such exalted power? If they had joined the battle earlier, Xue Wang and his followers would have been defeated sooner.

Lin Xi’s face changed color; she had heard this voice before, a voice she could never forget in her lifetime.

Not just Lin Xi, but Gu Fan and Su Hui were also shocked. Wasn’t this the roar of the big boss? Could it be that the big boss had also come to join in the melee?

And hearing the big boss’s roar, feeling its closeness, Lord Xiong’s face drastically changed, his body trembling with fear, and then without turning back, he fled.

"Not afraid, yet he runs faster than us," Gu Fan muttered, somewhat bewildered, but since the strong enemy had departed, he decided not to worry anymore.

The battle thus concluded, Gu Fan and Su Hui were about to leave. However, Gu Fan couldn’t help but glance at Jian Shen, who was gathering his energy to recover. Admiring how he had always stood up in the crisis, leading many to defend their homeland and never backing down until the last moment, Gu Fan respected such a heroic figure.

Su Hui furrowed her brows and caught up to ask, "What’s the matter? Weren’t you going to find Jian Shen and then clarify where Lin Xi is?"

To this, Gu Fan smiled gently, "Don’t worry, Sister Su, I’ve already found Lin Xi. We’re about to meet up with her and then return together to our own era,"

"Really, we can finally go home." Su Hui was delighted; she really did not like the ancient times, no mobile phones, no internet, terribly boring, though practicing Martial Arts was quite good.

Out of curiosity, Gu Fan suddenly asked, "By the way, Sister Su, where have you been all this time?"

"Don’t even mention it. I was confined by a guy with a mask, not letting me find people. How hateful," Su Hui grew increasingly angry, almost deciding to find this masked person and fight to the death.

Gu Fan was surprised, "A person wearing a mask? Why would he confine you, Sister Su? Did you offend someone accidentally in ancient times?"

To this, Su Hui shook her head, "Not at all, when I arrived in ancient times, besides practicing Martial Arts in the deep mountains with a reclusive master, I just participated in a Martial Arts Competition. I didn’t offend anyone, I don’t know why that masked person would confine me, but when he let me go, he specifically told me to come to this town, saying I would find you and Lin Xi here."

"So, our meeting each other was all thanks to that masked person," Gu Fan was curious and really wanted to meet this masked person.

Su Hui urged, "We better hurry up, let’s not let the big boss see us, or it’ll all go wrong."

"Yes, our first meeting with the big boss certainly cannot be in ancient times," Gu Fan hurried forward, feeling an ominous premonition, sensing the road home wouldn’t be smooth and that more incidents might occur.
