His injuries had worsened. Because he had taken a blow to the head but still forcibly circulated his internal energy, he was now on the verge of losing consciousness. But his unwavering determination told him that today, he
to save Liu Feifei.
Step by step, he climbed the stairs.
Cao Zijin yawned and said, âGood luck, Iâm rooting for you.â
âMind your own business. You should be preparing to collect Chen Fanâs corpse.â
âYou dare? You donât. Chen Fan wonât die. The only thing you can do today is rescue Liu Feifeiânothing more.â
âI ⦠Youâre right. I really can only take Liu Feifei away today. But I donât think this will end so simply. Right now, Iâve reached the Sixth Rank in strength. Do you know what that means? It means Iâve stepped into a whole new realm.â
âWow, so impressive! Keep it up!â
âMm, Iâm looking forward to it.â Ye Aotian slowly pushed open the door.
Inside the room, Chen Fan was holding Liu Feifei while stepping on Miao Lingyu.
âOh, youâre here? So, how do you like the gift I prepared for you?â
Ye Aotian stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
On the floor, both Miao Lingyu and Miao Lingyin had collapsed. And Chen Fan was stepping on their heads.
In the distance, Ling Yuyan was also lying on the ground, clearly injured. Her hands looked severely wounded.
Ye Aotian swore that in this lifetime, he would never allow his women to suffer even the slightest injury. But now, all these women were hurt, and worse, they were being trampled under Chen Fanâs foot.
Chen Fan casually tossed Liu Feifei aside, stood up, and said, âWhatâs wrong? Angry? Come on, hit me.â
Ye Aotian was burning with rage and shouted, âDonât push me! If you keep going, weâll both go down together!â
âThen do it. What are you waiting for?â
With that thought, Chen Fan lifted his foot and stepped harder on Miao Lingyu.
Miao Lingyu almost wanted to cry.
Ye Aotian completely snapped. His boundless fury caused the Emperorâs Heart Technique* inside him to circulate at an incredible speed.
At this moment, with his newly increased strength, he felt as if the entire world was under his control.
This absolute power made him feel that maybeâjust maybeâkilling Chen Fan right now wouldnât be a bad idea.
âIn that case, go to hell!â His fist came crashing forward.
Chen Fan closed his eyes calmly.
The fist landed directly on Chen Fanâs chest. With an explosive force ⦠Chen Fan didnât even budge an inch.
InsteadâYe Aotianâs entire arm snapped. His body flew backward and crashed to the ground.
In an instant, he lost consciousness.
**?!*
Chen Fan had estimated Ye Aotianâs strength had increased, so he had raised his own defense slightlyâjust by two percent. And yet, he had still overestimated him.
There was a bug in the original novelâs setting. In the book, Chen Fan had indeed been punched, but he only suffered minor injuriesânothing serious.
But that wasnât realistic. A Sixth Rank martial artistâs punch could literally shatter a normal personâs skull. Yet, somehow, Chen Fan had miraculously survived and continued causing trouble for the protagonist.
So, he had no choice but to fix this inconsistency in the plot.
But now ⦠he had overdone it.
Chen Fan slumped onto the sofa, staring at the mess in front of him, completely at a loss for what to do.
The three women slowly got up.
Ling Yuyan checked on Ye Aotian and clicked her tongue.
âTsk tsk tsk. Heâs probably crippled. His internal energy is in complete disarray.â
âTake him away.â
Chen Fan didnât believe the protagonist would actually die. After all, he was the main characterâif he really died, then in the next second, time would reset and heâd be forced to relive everything all over again.
That was inevitable.
Ling Yuyan scoffed, âI donât care. If he dies, he dies. Has nothing to do with me. Iâm leaving now~ Donât miss me, Chen Fan!â
Miao Lingyu glared at him angrily.
âYou did that on purpose, didnât you?â
Chen Fan smirked.
âYeah, so what? You gonna hit me?â
âI ⦠I was just saying. Why are you yelling so loud? You scared me to death.â
Miao Lingyin chuckled and said, âYoung Master Chen, we wonât disturb you any further. Weâve troubled you todayâthat was our fault. Another day, weâll personally visit to apologize.â
âItâs fine. Just leave.â
The two prepared to leave when Chen Fan suddenly said, âOh, right, take that guy with you.â
Liu Feifei froze for a moment. âHuh â¦? I have to leave too? No! Iâm really happy here! I donât wanna go! I havenât even finished eating!â
Chen Fan acted swiftly, packing everything up in plastic bags and shoving them into Liu Feifeiâs arms.
Then, with one strong kick, he sent them all flyingâprotagonist included.
The female leads glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and left.
As for Ye Aotian? No one cared about him at all.
âBrother, weâre leaving now.â
Ling Xiaoyun looked at Ling Yuyan and asked, âWhat about Ye Aotian?â
âHeâs probably dead? I donât know. Go check near the entranceâI saw him just now.â
âAnd you guys?â
âUh ⦠A mysterious person suddenly showed up and defeated us. Now that weâve rescued the person, weâre heading back. Brother, you should carry Ye Aotian out.â
Ling Xiaoyun, his body battered and broken, struggled up the stairs.
Cao Zijin pointed. âOver there.â
Ling Xiaoyun saw Ye Aotian lying on the ground, barely breathing. Silently, he hoisted him onto his back.
Given the current situation, he needed to seek help from the sect elders.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan yawned and stood by the window, watching as Ling Xiaoyun carried Ye Aotian away.
Chen Fan sighed and forced himself to cough up a mouthful of blood before collapsing onto the sofa.
Zhu Yeqing entered the room, saw him, and immediately ran over. âYoung Master, are you ⦠are you okay?â
Chen Fan, irritated, growled, âIâm furious right now! I want to kill him! I want Ye Aotian dead!â
Zhu Yeqing began unbuttoning her clothes.
Chen Fan almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
âTake me to the hospital. I have zero interest in you right now.â
Zhu Yeqing blushed. âIâm sorry, Young Master, I misunderstood. Iâll take you to the hospital immediately.â
Chen Fan massaged his temples.
