Bao Quanyou and his son Bao Xiaobao left the hotel and, after connecting with the police, headed directly to the town hall with his secretary.
In Bao Quanyou's view, Ding Fan was just a young man without much capability. Although the other party had so skills, Bao Quanyou was not worried at all.
No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than a gun, right? So in Bao Quanyou's view, having his son take a few policen would be enough to handle Ding Fan directly.
However, what Bao Quanyou did not expect was that as soon as he arrived at the town hall, his phone rang. As he answered it, the crying voice of his own son, Bao Xiaobao, ca through.
"Dad, save ... I'm at the hotel now... hurry up and co!"
"What exactly happened?" Bao Quanyou asked with a frown.
"You should co quickly..." Bao Xiaobao said, and then the call was abruptly cut off.
Bao Quanyou tried to call back, but after several attempts, it still didn't work; he couldn't get through.
"Xiao Qin, it seems sothing has happened to Bao Xiaobao."
Bao Quanyou said gravely to his secretary beside him.
The secretary was taken aback. "Mayor, Bao Xiaobao went with the police. Could it be that young man dared to beat the police?"
Bao Quanyou nodded. "Indeed, that's likely. Xiao Qin, Xiao Bao called for to go over, what do you think?"
The secretary laughed lightly. "Mayor, now this matter is easy to handle. That kid dared to touch the police and even hit Xiao Bao, so there's no need to be polite with him now. Just call the SWAT team; if he resists, he can be executed on the spot."
Bao Quanyou's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's a good idea."
Recalling Ding Fan's arrogant deanor from before, he couldn't help but wish he could have Ding Fan executed imdiately.
"Xiao Qin, should I go to the scene myself?" Bao Quanyou pondered a mont and asked.
"Mayor, of course, you should personally oversee the site. Your presence will ensure the SWAT team performs more seriously. The more serious they are, the tougher the handling of that young man will be. Also, I'll get a few journalist friends to take so news photos, with the headline 'Mayor personally oversees the operation at the scene, SWAT team eliminates hostage-taker...'"
"Good... good." Bao Quanyou said "good" several tis in a row.
Not only venting his anger but also promoting himself; hopefully, receiving comndation from the higher-ups, he might even advance a bit.
"Imdiately call the SWAT team and have them rush to the scene. Notify your journalist friends, I'll get ready and set off imdiately!"
"Understood." The secretary finished speaking and went aside to call his journalist friends.
Bao Quanyou lit a cigarette and gazed at the sky outside the window. "Kid, playing with , you'll play yourself to death..."
...
At the hotel where Ding Fan and the others were staying.
Bao Xiaobao was standing quietly in a corner like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to utter a sound.
Ding Fan was genuinely angry at this mont.
Bao Quanyou not only failed to discipline his child but also assisted his son's overbearing behavior. If such a person continued as mayor, it would pollute the land.
Therefore, Ding Fan felt that Bao Quanyou should be removed, thus benefiting the area.
Just as Ding Fan and the others were waiting for Bao Quanyou's people to arrive, suddenly, a massive explosion sounded.
Boom... boom...
The explosion was very fierce, and the entire building seed to tremble.
Inside the hotel, a series of exclamations erupted.
Ding Fan hurriedly used his Divine Sense to probe outside.
After probing, Ding Fan discovered that the entire hotel's lower floors had caught fire.
The fire was very strong and slowly spreading to the third floor. If not effectively controlled, it would only be a matter of ti before it reached the fifth floor where Ding Fan and the others were.
At this mont, an ergency siren sounded inside the hotel. Then, a voice announced through the loudspeaker in the hallways.
"The hotel is experiencing a serious fire. All guests, please imdiately evacuate to the top floor and wait for rescue. Everyone, please remain calm and quickly move to the top floor."
The hotel guests, upon hearing there was a fire, imdiately rushed toward the rooftop in a panic.
"i Zhi, take Duoer to the rooftop." Ding Fan said to i Zhi hurriedly.
i Zhi nodded and imdiately proceeded with Duoer to the rooftop.
Bao Xiaobao, regardless of anything else, held his head and fled to the upper floors like a big rat.
Ding Fan felt the fla was quite strange. It was so fierce right from the start; two floors of a whole building were engulfed instantly.
The building where Ding Fan and the others were staying was twelve stories high and also the tallest structure in the town.
Using Divine Sense to probe throughout the hotel, Ding Fan soon identified the issue.
On the third floor, seven or eight people were confronting soone.
What surprised Ding Fan was that the person surrounded by martial artists was actually a cultivator.
Moreover, what delighted Ding Fan even more was that the aura emitted from this cultivator was precisely the sa as the one who escaped from Serpent Island before.
That day, on Serpent Island, Wan Hualiang and about a dozen from Sea Sect were killed.
Before that, only this cultivator showed up, so Ding Fan had always suspected that it was very likely this cultivator who killed the dozen from Sea Sect and deliberately frad the Immortal Sect.
Among those surrounding the cultivator was soone Ding Fan knew, none other than Mu Zi.
Ding Fan hadn't expected such a coincidence, running into Mu Zi here.
The person being cornered was connected to the secret of the Immortal Sect, and with Mu Zi present, Ding Fan couldn't just ignore it. Right away, he dashed towards the third floor.
...
"Set up the attacking great formation. No matter what happens today, we can't let him escape again. Even if it ans going down together!" Mu Zi abandoned his usual carefree attitude and now wore a stern expression.
"Yes!" The six companions beside Mu Zi replied in unison.
In the center surrounded by Mu Zi and others was a middle-aged man in his fifties.
The man's eyes were full of disdain, clearly he didn't think much of those surrounding him.
"You think you few can capture ?" The middle-aged man sneered. "Don't think that just because you are governnt agents, I won't dare to kill you!"
The middle-aged man said this, and with a wave of his right hand, a longsword appeared directly in his hand.
"Surrender willingly, and we might consider leniency towards you!" At this mont, a mber from the 3567 group said from the side.
However, before the mber's words were finished, a sword beam struck out directly.
Squelch…
As the sword beam swept past, when Mu Zi and the others looked again, the mber of the 3567 group had been sliced into two by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man sneered, lightly raised the longsword in his hand, which still bore a few fresh blood drops.
The man's mouth curled into a sneer, and then he stuck out his tongue to show a ghostly smile before licking the blood drops on the sword.
"Fresh blood, really fragrant and smooth…"
"Xiao Wu..." The mbers of the 3567 group, seeing their comrade cut down, were all montarily filled with resentnt.
"Everyone, don't act recklessly. Listen to my instructions for the formation!" Mu Zi said with a solemn face.
"I told you, you don't even have the qualifications to be my enemy..." The middle-aged man, seeing Mu Zi and the others still preparing to form a formation, beca quite displeased and swished his longsword.
The longsword struck out, and in an instant, the mbers of the 3567 group were all forced back to the ground by the sword qi...
The middle-aged man looked at those lying on the ground. "You still want to go down with ? You don't have the qualifications..."
Mu Zi had also been knocked back by the sword qi earlier, but now she struggled to get up.
Mu Zi's face was full of gravity; she truly hadn't expected the opponent to be so much stronger. She had initially thought about going down together.
But now it seed they didn't even have the qualification to injure him. The gap was indeed too large.
"Today, I'll send you all to hell." The middle-aged man said as he carried his longsword, walking towards Mu Zi and the others.
The middle-aged man's steps were very slow, but with each step, it signified the Grim Reaper getting a step closer to everyone.
Swish…
Just then, a wind blade sliced through the air, making a sharp screech before striking directly.
The wind blade was cleaving towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was startled; the wind blade was ferocious, and the angle of its strike was extrely tricky. He didn't dare to have the slightest negligence, rolled directly on the ground, and dodged the wind blade's strike.
"Brother Fan... is it really you?"
After the wind blade forced the middle-aged man back, a figure stood before Mu Zi.
When Mu Zi clearly saw who had arrived, tears of excitent stread down as she recognized the person standing before her as none other than Ding Fan.
"You all watch from the side, leave him to ." Ding Fan said, without any ti to catch up with Mu Zi.
"It's Instructor Ding..."
"Instructor Ding is here..."
Among those knocked back by the middle-aged man's sword qi, two of them also recognized Ding Fan. Ding Fan had spent so ti at the Yanjing military compound, so quite a few people knew him.
"It's actually you?" The middle-aged man looked at Ding Fan, tightly furrowing his brows.
"On Serpent Island, you ran quite fast, but today, I fear you won't escape." Ding Fan said calmly.
"You and I were the sa, do you really think you belong to this foolish world..." The middle-aged man said blandly.
Ding Fan understood the implication of the middle-aged man's words all too well.
He and the middle-aged man were both cultivators...
"The people of Sea Sect and Wan Hualiang on Serpent Island, it was you who killed them, right?" Ding Fan asked directly.
The middle-aged man sneered. "Looks like you really intend to side with those people. By doing so, you'll be committing betrayal, and we won't let you off."
Ding Fan remarked aloofly, "The one who won't be let off today is you, by ."
Swish…
Ding Fan drew his longsword. "Today you must stay behind!"
