Chapter 404: Chapter 392: Now, Only You Are Left (Please Subscribe)
"Let down your mental guard and let you investigate?"
Chen Fan almost laughed when he heard this.
Letting himself be willingly controlled by someone else? What kind of absurd statement was that?
"Li Ping, this is the best way to prove your innocence."
Li Yan shook his head and said, "I know you don’t trust us and worry that we might do something underhanded, which is understandable.
But you’re overthinking it. First, we will question you right here, and everyone else can see whether any tricks are done. Afterward, you can ask anyone and find out the truth.
Second, given our status, do you think we would do something like this to you? You’re overthinking it. I, Li Yan, am putting my words here today. If what you say is indeed unrelated to a series of events, we will not only not harm you but also apologize to you. Not just you, but also your subordinate."
Hua Jun shivered and couldn’t help but remind, "Chairman, please reconsider."
"Yes, Chairman, please reconsider."
"Chairman."
The others echoed along.
It was clear to everyone with discerning eyes that these people might not be trustworthy.
If these people did something in front of everyone, with their strength, there would be nothing anyone could do.
And as for whether the Chairman would be the same person after awakening—who knows.
"Everyone, shut up!" Wu Fei shouted, silencing the room instantly.
"Li Ping, I advise you to follow Brother Li’s instructions honestly. It won’t take much of your time and is good for everyone."
"Exactly, Li Ping. If you don’t agree, it shows you have something to hide."
A few people agreed.
Among them were awakeners skilled in mind control.
However, since their spiritual power was not vastly different, with mental defenses up, causing momentary disorientation was about the best they could do. Making someone reveal their innermost secrets would be nearly impossible.
Of course, it would be much easier for an awakener of Hua Jun’s level, depending on whether they wanted to bother with it.
"I have something to hide just because I don’t agree?"
Chen Fan laughed.
"Isn’t it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why delay? I think it was you who killed Du Hao and the others!"
"Brother Li, since this guy refuses to drink a toast but chooses to drink a forfeit, we’ll show him what’s what before making him tell the truth."
"Exactly, he chose this path, so he has no one to blame."
There was a flash of menace in their eyes, indicating they were ready to act.
Or rather, this was their intention from the start. They wouldn’t willingly lower their guard and let someone control their mind.
Seeing this, Chen Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he sighed outwardly and said, "Do you really want to push this to the edge?"
"It’s not us pushing, but you."
Li Yan looked at Chen Fan and said, "If you cooperate honestly, it will only take a few minutes to solve the issue. If you don’t, we’ll have to use some unconventional methods."
With his words, the awakeners from Anshan City cursed them in their minds for their shamelessness.
Talking about being forced, they were clearly bullying the fewer with the more.
Unfortunately, most of them weren’t even C-level awakeners. In this situation, they could only stand by, doing nothing and risking their lives.
"Alright."
Chen Fan sighed deeply, scanning the people around him, "You all should leave first."
"???"
Not only the awakeners from Anshan City but also Li Yan and his group were stunned.
"You came to fight me, right?"
Chen Fan looked at Li Yan, "What use are these people staying here?"
Li Yan and the others exchanged glances, hardly believing what they heard from Chen Fan.
"Chairman!"
"Chairman!"
The awakeners from Anshan City were in tears.
Even in this situation, the Chairman was still thinking about their safety? The Chairman himself was in the most dangerous position!
"Hahaha."
Li Yan laughed a few times, sweeping a cold glance over the crowd, and said, "Of course, but Li Ping, have you really thought this through? I’m warning you, once the fight starts, even if you regret it later, it will be too late."
The eyes of Wu Fei and the others were also filled with amusement.
"That’s exactly what I want to tell you."
Chen Fan’s face was calm, "Originally, after you injured my people, I didn’t plan to do anything to you. As long as you apologized and compensated them adequately, this matter would have ended here.
But you have not only failed to recognize your mistake but also escalated it further by trying to make me accept your mind control. Nobody, not any awakener, could accept that. If you want to fight, then come. But if something happens, there’s no use regretting it later."
"Hmph! Arrogant!"
Wu Fei and the others snorted coldly.
If the Chen Fan in front of them was indeed the killer of Zou Xuan and the others, his strength was undeniable.
But the problem was, their strength wasn’t weaker than Zou Xuan’s, perhaps even stronger, and they had a numerical advantage.
If they were to be intimidated, could they still be called awakeners?
"Everyone, leave, stay far away, and don’t come near without my order."
"Chairman!"
"Chairman..."
The crowd wept, their faces filled with reluctance.
Because, this might be their last time seeing the Chairman.
But they also knew that staying would only be a hindrance.
"Chairman, be careful!"
Hua Jun wiped his tears and said with red eyes.
Chen Fan waved his hand, signaling him to lead the people away.
The footsteps grew distant, and soon, the area within a few hundred meters was empty.
"Chairman Li, now that everyone has left, can we begin?" Wu Fei jeered.
Everyone around him was on high alert.
Although they outnumbered their opponent, being careless could still lead to death.
"Sure. To show my gratitude, I will let you make the first move," Chen Fan nodded.
"Courting death!"
As soon as the words fell, a brawny man roared, his clothes bursting apart, transforming into a small giant three to four meters tall, with muscles bulging like rocks.
In an instant, he was in front of Chen Fan, swinging a huge fist, a meter in size, towards his chest.
The violent wind almost made it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound echoed through the hall, making everyone’s scalp tingle, and goosebumps rise.
The small giant looked at his fist, then at the small figure in front of him covered in golden light, with a look of astonishment.
"What is this?"
His question was answered by an incredibly fast golden iron fist.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the giant’s massive head exploded like a watermelon, spreading red and white matter everywhere.
Chen Fan’s figure didn’t stop, and he appeared right in front of Li Yan.
Without any flourish, he threw a punch!
"What!"
Everything happened so quickly and unexpectedly.
Li Yan had no time to react before he was hit by the punch.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the protective shield that could withstand three top-level commander-level beast attacks shattered, turning into specks of white light, dispersing in the air.
Then, with a bang!
Li Yan turned into a mist of blood.
It was only now that the remaining six awakeners finally reacted.
"Attack! Quick, attack!"
"All together! Everyone!"
With those words, countless superpowers were launched towards Chen Fan, hitting him in an instant.
"We hit him! We hit him!"
"Great!"
They were elated.
This guy’s attack power was terrifying!
Even the gigantic Xing Yong was killed with a single punch. How could they fare?
Li Yan earlier was proof enough.
However, their sacrifice was worth it, buying them time to retaliate.
"Something’s wrong!"
At this moment, a startled voice rang out.
A golden figure, moving like lightning, charged into the crowd.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two screams were abruptly cut off.
Obviously two more awakeners were directly annihilated.
"How, how could this be?"
Zuo Hong was completely stunned.
He had seen clearly that everyone’s superpowers had hit.
So many superpowers hitting at once, even a top-level commander-level beast would fall, right?
But how come this guy seemed totally unharmed?
At that moment, he felt a chill down his spine. Looking up, he met eyes with Chen Fan.
"No..."
Before he could finish his word, he exploded.
Meanwhile, the person next to him was also smacked to death.
"That’s six."
Chen Fan muttered.
Activating his Vajra Indestructible Body consumed too much True Qi. Even with his current True Essence, he couldn’t afford to delay and went for a quick victory.
"Monster! Monster!"
Seeing this, Wu Fei was scared stupid, standing there, motionless, in stark contrast to his arrogant demeanor earlier.
"Run!"
Another person shouted, running away as fast as he could.
They had focused their attack and couldn’t scratch him.
But he could casually kill any of them with one punch. How could they fight? They couldn’t!
But just then, a gust of wind blew behind him.
The next moment, he exploded on the spot, without even making it to the door.
"Now, it seems only you are left."
Chen Fan turned and strode towards the terrified Wu Fei.
