He didn't intend to go straight home, but instead headed to the street to see if there were any enemies he could hunt.
After Fang Yan left, Vermouth rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She was having a really tough time. She had finally been able to enjoy a nice hot bath, and now this had happened.
She also needs to deliver the vampire's blood and cultivation methods; sigh, it's just too difficult.
However, even she had no choice but to give it away. At the same time, Vermouth was also a little curious: would someone like Gin be tempted to stab herself in the back for such a thing?
Can a man really give up his dignity?
As for why the other party gave them the items so readily, Vermouth wasn't surprised. Since they could reveal so much information about the organization, they must have nothing to fear.
However, this seems quite good, at least I am closer to that special power than others.
………………………………………………………………………………
"Is this the vicinity?" Fang Yan walked down the alley, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he frowned. He had been drawn here by the smell of blood.
The scene here made Fang Yan very uncomfortable. On this small street, more than twenty young girls lay scattered about. These girls were all fashionable and no more than thirty years old. They had all lost their lives.
This wasn't what troubled Fang Yan the most. What troubled him the most was that all these women had the same feature: a huge gash on their mouths. According to Fang Yan's observation, it seemed to have been cut open with scissors!
Crack girl!
Fang Yan immediately thought of this urban legend! It was quite famous in Sakura Province, and even Fang Yan had heard of it, but he never expected that he would encounter the legendary Kuchisake-onna here.
These people were probably captured and brought here by the Slit-Mouthed Woman, and then killed!
It seems that the world is becoming increasingly dangerous lately. What I've seen is only a part of the story. Who knows how many similar incidents are happening all over the world?
"Tap tap tap!" Just as Fang Yan was about to go and cause trouble for the Slit-Mouthed Woman, the sound of high heels reached his ears. Fang Yan turned around and saw a woman wearing a big coat, a scarf, holding large scissors, with long hair and a mask, leading a girl to the scene.
When Fang Yan saw the girl, a smirk appeared on his lips. Sure enough, things are most likely to happen around anime characters like this!
That's right, Fang Yan knows this girl. Fang Yan knows, no, this woman, she can't even be called a girl anymore, she's a real older sister.
Yukinoshita Goat Milk, no, it's Yukinoshita Haruno!
Yukinoshita Hirano's older sister—who would have thought this woman would have such a tragic past!
He was actually caught by the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
However, the other party seems to be quite lucky; at least they encountered me, and if I can save them, I should.
Although Yang Nai, the Great Demon King, is a siscon with a terrible personality, Fang Yan couldn't just stand by and watch the Slit-Mouthed Woman kill Yang Nai since they had already met. After all, the Slit-Mouthed Woman in front of him was his nourishment!
Fang Yan sensed an extremely sinister aura emanating from the other party!
Chapter 61
Fang Yan was quite certain that this Slit-Mouthed Woman might not be that powerful, but the resentment she contained was even greater than that of the Great Black Heaven's clone that Fang Yan had defeated before.
This may seem unbelievable, but it is indeed the truth.
Perhaps such urban legends contain even more power?
"Fang Yan, run!" Yukinoshita Haruno, who was being held hostage, felt somewhat desperate at this moment. All she wanted to do was visit her lovely little sister while Yukino was resting.
What Yukinoshita Haruno didn't expect was that she was stopped on the road by a woman who directly asked her if she was pretty. Naturally, Yukinoshita Haruno had no interest in chatting with her.
Are you pretty? Are you cuter than my Yukino? My Yukino is the cutest in the world!
It's despicable that they're preventing me from going to find Yukino.
However, before Yukinoshita Haruno could say anything, the other party pulled down her mask, revealing a hideous scar that startled even the seasoned Yukinoshita Haruno. Before she could react, Yukinoshita Haruno was captured and brought here.
As a native of Sakura Province, Yukinoshita Haruno had heard of various urban legends, including the legend of the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Upon learning that the other party was the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Yukinoshita Haruno was filled with despair, especially after seeing the corpses.
What's wrong with Fang Yan? Why is he unable to move when he sees these corpses?
What a coward! I used to think he was a good investment and even wanted to matchmake Fang Yan and Xue Nai!
As for Fang Yan having a childhood sweetheart? What's that all about? Perhaps their Yukino family can't compare to others, but their own Yukino is the cutest in the world!
However, Fang Yan's current performance has disappointed Yukino Yukinoshita. He gets so scared by something terrifying that he can't even walk. How can someone like that protect Yukino?
But now, is it possible that I'm going to die here with Fang Yan?
"Interesting, the Slit-Mouthed Woman?" Fang Yan looked at the Slit-Mouthed Woman who was holding Yukinoshita hostage with amusement and said softly.
Based on the fact that Yukinoshita Haruno's first reaction upon seeing him was to tell him to run, Fang Yan decided to rescue Yukinoshita Haruno.
Of course, if the other party is trying to drag him down with them, then Fang Yan won't be polite to Yukino Yukinoshita. Does a beautiful woman have any special privileges?
impossible!
He could have waited until the Slit-Mouthed Woman had dealt with Yukinoshita Haruno before making his move!
As for whether my conscience will hurt, well, someone like me wouldn't care about conscience, would I?
He simply has his own bottom line. If anyone tries to frame him, Fang Yan will make sure they don't even know how they died.
"Interesting!" As Fang Yan finished speaking, he suddenly pushed off with his feet and charged towards the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Yukino Yukino was dumbfounded. She suddenly realized that she might not have misjudged Fang Yan. This man was not scared out of his wits, but rather he was reckless and a brute!
This is going to be a brutal, headlong rush!
What Yukino Yukino didn't expect was that, facing Fang Yan, the Slit-Mouthed Woman also pushed her aside and then looked at the direction Fang Yan came from with a serious expression. In just an instant, Fang Yan had already arrived in front of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, his hand filled with flames, and he chopped down at her with a palm.
"This?" Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused. At this moment, she finally understood why Fang Yan was not afraid of the Slit-Mouthed Woman. It turned out that he was powerful.
Ignoring the excruciating pain in her backside from the fall, she quickly ran away into the distance.
At this point, loyalty and disloyalty don't matter; the most important thing to do is to escape as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if she stayed, she would only become a burden to Fang Yan.
Moreover, Yukino Yukinoshita was unaware that Fang Yan had recognized her and would take care of her during the battle.
Yes, that's right. Yukinoshita Haruno had met Fang Yan before, otherwise she wouldn't have recognized him.
As a small local family, the Yukinoshita family naturally wanted to successfully enter the core upper circle. As for the Fang Yan family, they were mainly famous because of the Shinomiya Group.
In the struggle against the Shinomiya Group, not many families can emerge unscathed. After all, the Shinomiya Group's domineering nature is universally acknowledged. It is said that the education they receive internally is also imperial-style, the kind of education where those who obey me may not prosper, but those who oppose me will perish.
Fang Yan's family not only escaped unscathed, but also forced the Shinomiya Group to retreat and even apologize afterwards. This was the first time in years that the Shinomiya Group had suffered a setback in Sakura Province. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Yukino Yukinoshita didn't know Fang Yan.
Even her own mother urged Yukino to go to any lengths to get close to Fang Yan!
What Yukino Yukino didn't expect was that Fang Yan's strength seemed to be problematic!
Is this really a normal human being?
If someone possesses such strength, even without the support of a family, it would be enough to make the Shinomiya Group wary, wouldn't it?
Chapter 62
At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita felt as if she had learned the truth about this world. Perhaps the true foundation of those great families was never about how much money they had, what industries they controlled, or even how much power they wielded, but rather this kind of strength.
Fang Yan had no idea what Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking at that moment, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
In the future, such a thing might actually come true.
The Slit-Mouthed Woman wasn't particularly strong, but she wasn't weak either. Her main strength was the intense resentment emanating from her. As for her actual power, she was only at the level of that cat demon from before.
After losing Yukino Yukinoshita as a hostage, Fang Yan showed no mercy to the Slit-Mouthed Woman. With a roar of a dragon, the Slit-Mouthed Woman was knocked back several meters by a single palm strike.
However, instead of pressing his advantage, Fang Yan extended a finger and gestured, and soon several talismans formed in front of him. He then pushed them towards the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Almost instantly, a combination of flying knives made of leaves, scorching flames, and raging water appeared on these talismans and attacked the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Fang Yan truly demonstrated another use of the Tongtian Talisman at this moment, which was also the most conventional use.
Quickly draw talismans during battle and then use them to attack.
Fang Yan couldn't draw ordinary talismans well, after all, he wasn't a professional Taoist priest. Even if he wanted to, drawing talismans would be time-consuming and laborious. However, drawing talismans with Yin-Yang incantations was not difficult for Fang Yan. Moreover, it was just some ordinary Five Elements incantations.
The damage to Fang Yan was minimal; in fact, this combined attack was far less effective than Soul Dragon Soaring.
Of course, this is definitely not because Fang Yan has used Soul Dragon Soar too much, and he no longer likes to use Soul Dragon Soar to crush others all the time. Now that he is facing the Slit-Mouthed Woman, shouldn't he show some Taoist methods?
As a person, you always have to learn to hide your true self. This world is very complicated. When those people come looking for trouble, you can give them a little surprise.
However, even so, Fang Yan's performance was still impressive.
"Isn't that enough?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't heard the system notification, which meant that the Slit-Mouthed Woman hadn't been killed. He then stretched out his hand and started drawing in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yan drew out several more talismans, and without giving the slit-mouthed woman a chance to dodge, he bombarded her body relentlessly.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who was watching this scene, was also dumbfounded. Holy crap, she saw it! That must be the talisman from the mainland.
That's amazing! Yukino Yukinoshita says her worldview has been completely shattered!
Suddenly, Yukino felt a little sorry for the Slit-Mouthed Woman, who had to face such an attack.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for eliminating the Slit-Mouthed Woman. Reward: 465 points!"
Fang Yan heard the system notification and a smile appeared on his lips. A nice system reward.
Although the Slit-Mouthed Woman wasn't very strong, the points she gave were quite generous.
However, Fang Yan did not draw the lottery directly at this moment. He planned to use 1000 points before drawing the lottery.
"Is it over?" Yukinoshita Haruno was a woman who was very good at judging the situation. She saw that Fang Yan had stopped his attack before she asked.
"Yes, that slit-mouthed woman has been eliminated!" Fang Yan nodded slightly and said, "You're quite lucky to have run into me!"
Fang Yan glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita. At this moment, the young lady Yukino seemed a bit disheveled. Because of the dragging and the fall, her originally fair legs were now covered with bruises.
If it's not treated properly, it will probably leave quite a few scars.
It's a pity, this person probably won't be able to wear skirts anymore.
"I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky!" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a wry smile, "I never thought such a thing could happen in this world!"
Fang Yan smiled noncommittally, then said, "Let's go! Even if we need to call the police, we should go outside. There's no signal here; it's probably being interfered with by a special magnetic field."
"Hmm!" Yukinoshita Haruno nodded slightly, then followed closely as she walked towards the street.
