Chapter 904: Apology Opportunity Has Run Out

Jiang Fan appeared to be considering seriously.

A moment later, he said, "I choose the second option."

Kui Xing showed an unsurprised expression and said, "Kneel and acknowledge me as your master."

He opened his mouth, and a black worm crawled out. It was only thumb-sized with a very sharp head. Its overall shape resembled a small nail, capable of quickly burrowing into a person's body.

Mu Ying and the others showed fear when they saw the worm.

Jiang Fan frowned. "What is this?"

Kui Xing said indifferently, "A gift from the Master."

Jiang Fan hesitated. Although he had the chicken feather, he knew the worm wouldn't dare harm him. But what if? Should he continue to feign compliance?

Yu Tiandu's face hardened slightly as he said, "Master, I don't think this person wants to submit to you at all. He needs a lesson."

His gaze then shifted to Liu Qingxian, a look of revenge in his eyes. He said, "Master, this woman is his most beloved. Please grant her to me. If Jiang Fan is disobedient, I will properly discipline his woman!"

At this moment, Yu Tiandu completely dropped his pretense. On the surface, Kui Xing couldn't emerge. But underground, even the Master of Tianji Pavilion would flee in fear! Jiang Fan, weren't you guarding your three beauties, unwilling to let any of them go? Well, Yu Tiandu would snatch one to play with!

Kui Xing had never been interested in the struggles between worms. He nodded indifferently.

Yu Tiandu walked over mockingly and laughed, "Jiang Fan! When you slapped me back then, I swore an oath in my heart. I would definitely get my hands on your woman! I would make you suffer terribly! Only then could I wash away the humiliation in my heart! Now, Liu Qingxian is mine! Hahaha!"

Liu Qingxian bit her red lip slightly and gripped the sword in her hand. A look of determination appeared in her eyes. How could she let Jiang Fan endure such humiliation? She pondered the second sword technique taught by the one-armed elder, preparing to strike and attack Kui Xing to give Jiang Fan a chance to escape.

Gu Xin'er, Xia Chaoge, and Liang Feiyan all secretly channeled their power, ready to act at any moment.

But at that critical juncture, a pitch-black crystal appeared in Jiang Fan's palm. He walked in front of everyone and said calmly, "I suggest you all speak properly. Otherwise, we all die together."

Kui Xing's indifferent face finally showed a hint of apprehension. He knew what the black crystal was better than anyone present. Even if he were hit by its blast now, he would be significantly injured. And what he planned to do next could not tolerate any injury.

"Put down the black crystal, kneel, and acknowledge me as your master; that is your only way out!" Kui Xing said coldly, retreating quietly as he spoke.

Jiang Fan, however, said, "I can acknowledge you as my master, but I have two conditions."

Kui Xing laughed. "Negotiating with me? You're not qualified."

Jiang Fan gathered a cluster of lightning energy in his palm and said calmly, "In this underground world, I am the only one proficient in lightning cultivation techniques. You won't find a second person. Does that qualify me?"

Kui Xing fell into thought. He stared deeply at Jiang Fan for a long moment, then said indifferently, "State your conditions."

Jiang Fan raised a hand and pointed at Yu Tiandu. "First, hand him over to me for disposal!"

"What?" Yu Tiandu flinched, then shouted fiercely, "Jiang Fan! Who are you to dispose of the Master's most loyal servant? Honestly acknowledging him as your master is your only way out."

He was visibly flustered. Thus, his tone became increasingly stern and desperate.

Kui Xing said without hesitation, "Granted."

Yu Tiandu's heart pounded. He quickly pleaded, "Master, you can't trust him! He's trying to sow discord!"

Kui Xing waved his hand indifferently. An invisible immense force sent Yu Tiandu flying. Without a ripple of emotion on his face, he looked at Jiang Fan and said, "He's just a blood bag. If you want him, take him."

What loyalty? In Kui Xing's eyes, Yu Tiandu's greatest use was to provide him with blood.

Jiang Fan nodded. He then drew his purple sword, its chilling blade reflecting Jiang Fan's face, which was even colder than the sword itself.

"Are you so reluctant to part with my women?" Jiang Fan slowly looked at him.

That cold gaze made Yu Tiandu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He was terrified and tried to seek protection. But Kui Xing ignored him completely, so he turned a pleading gaze to Mu Ying. "Senior Sister Mu, please say a good word for me."

Mu Ying's face was filled with disdain. Such a shameless creature! Did he have the nerve to ask her for help? On the surface, she had already disciplined Yu Tiandu for angering Jiang Fan. Heh. Now, he thought he had the upper hand, trying to claim Liu Qingxian in front of Jiang Fan? And what was the result? Jiang Fan directly negotiated with the Master. Not only could Mu Ying not save him, but even if she could, she would never save such a disgusting person!

"Junior Brother Jiang," Mu Ying cupped her hands towards Jiang Fan. "Yu Tiandu has no connection to our expedition anymore. You may dispose of him however you wish. Please don't implicate us innocent ones."

Yu Tiandu's heart sank. Kui Xing had abandoned him, and his former teammates had also forsaken him, leaving him alone to face Jiang Fan. How could he be Jiang Fan's opponent? If only he had known Jiang Fan had the black crystal as a trump card, he would have definitely endured a bit longer.

Thinking this, he resorted to his old trick. Biting his teeth, he raised his palm and slapped himself hard. "I deserve to die! I'm worthless! Junior Brother Jiang, no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I was blinded by greed for a moment. Please give me another chance to turn over a new leaf? Please! I'm kneeling for you!"

He fell to his knees with a thud, his cheeks red from the slaps, looking genuinely repentant. Anyone else would never have said he was acting. But only he could hear the vicious roar deep within his heart: "Jiang Fan! You forced me to slap myself, forced me to kneel! This debt, I will make you repay tenfold, a hundredfold! When the time comes, I will cripple your cultivation, capture your women, and torture them to death right in front of you! Finally, I will ask you, do you regret letting me go again?!"

His thoughts were quite far-fetched and excessive.

Jiang Fan's steps did not falter. Instead, they quickened.

Yu Tiandu's eyelids twitched, and he exclaimed in horror, "Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan, listen to me! I really made a mistake this time! I won't dare again, I apologize to you..."

*Pfft—*

A head, severed by the flash of the purple sword, rolled to the ground. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was agape. His gaze was filled with intense unwillingness and terror.

Jiang Fan wiped the blood from the purple sword and said indifferently, "I told you last time, you wouldn't get another chance to apologize."

He sheathed the purple sword. Jiang Fan looked at Kui Xing. "My second condition is..."
