Chapter 85: Impotent Rage
The people of the Iron Cavalry Association hadn't expected Fa Nan to be defeated so quickly. Many people behind the County Magistrate's office looked on, dumbfounded, after seeing Fa Nan smashed to death by that general with the bronze ghost king mask. In the end, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Too terrifying.
As small leaders of the Iron Cavalry Association, they knew Fa Nan's strength. He was, after all, an Innate first-class martial arts expert, and in the Jiangnan region, he was someone no one dared to stop.
Yet they hadn't expected that today, he would be smashed to death with one hammer by a mysterious general.
Were there such fierce generals in the imperial army?
Those who were clever had already climbed over the County Magistrate's office and fled directly. The rest were discovered by the commandery soldiers who arrived later, and one by one, they surrendered with trembling bodies and tearful faces.
"Prefect, all the people of the Iron Cavalry Association are here. There are six hundred and fifty-three people. Those who were injured have been dealt with."
"It's a pity that a few leaders escaped."
The two military commanders had decent abilities. Except for their strength being a bit lacking, they weren't inferior to Ren Tong in other aspects.
After all, they were at least from the families of local powerful clans.
"Hmm! What happened to the County Magistrate of Dantu?"
Su Fan nodded upon hearing this. "Take all these people back, and then tell them to hand them over to Li Su."
Li Su was the person Su Fan had ordered to be in charge of road construction in the future.
"We asked; County Magistrate Qin is dead. He was killed by people from the Iron Cavalry Association."
"Hmm!"
Su Fan frowned upon hearing this. "Find out clearly who killed him, and then behead them in public."
"Take forty percent of the Iron Cavalry Association's assets and distribute them according to the rules. Remember, the compensation for the dead and injured must be sent to every person's home."
"Yes, Prefect."
The two were excited upon hearing this. Forty percent of the assets—in the past, no leader had been so generous, except for their Prefect.
Waving his hand, Su Fan let the two go down. Sitting in the County Magistrate's office, Su Fan was also considering that the County Magistrate of Dantu was gone, and he needed to appoint someone to be the magistrate.
As for the imperial court, he ignored it directly.
In terms of civil officials, he really didn't have anyone, so he could only look for someone from the Wu Jun Prefect's office.
Anyway, they were all tools; just read for a few years and that would be enough.
However, Fa Nan had been killed by him. He wasn't afraid of the Iron Cavalry Association at all, but the Yin Gui Sect was different.
The Yin Gui Sect's strength was very strong, especially the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan, who was a genuine Grandmaster-level expert, and her strength was even above that of Yuwen Shang of the Yuwen family.
He could kill Fa Nan in seconds now, but that was because Fa Nan used his own shortcomings to attack his strengths. As a martial arts expert, facing a fierce general on the battlefield, he didn't use his flexible movement to maneuver and fight.
Instead, he came to fight Su Fan head-on, and as a result, he was hammered to death by Su Fan in one move.
Of course, he underestimated Su Fan; he never expected Su Fan to be so powerful.
He overestimated himself. He originally thought that since he wasn't at a disadvantage when fighting Ling Zhan, martial generals were just like that.
However, unfortunately, Su Fan let him understand the ferocity of a peerless fierce general with one hammer.
If Fa Nan had been careful and cautious from the beginning, even if he wasn't Su Fan's match, he definitely could have persisted for a dozen moves, or even more.
Of course, at most no more than thirty moves. Although Su Fan only practiced physical martial arts, he wasn't without internal strength, and in terms of movement, he wasn't even inferior to these experts.
Physical martial arts have extremely powerful control over the body, but most martial generals walk the path of strength.
Martial generals aren't without techniques and movement. In the Three Kingdoms era, Zhao Yun was definitely the best among them.
He fought countless battles, yet was almost never injured.
However, Su Fan also knew that his current strength was indeed still a bit lacking against a Grandmaster like the Yin Queen.
And the Yin Gui Sect had more than one expert; many other elders were also super first-class.
In terms of strength, the Yin Gui Sect was definitely above the Yuwen family.
Among the four great aristocratic clans, only the Song Clan could make the Yin Gui Sect wary, after all, the combat power and potential of the Heavenly Blade Song Que were above those of the Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan.
Su Fan wiped out Fa Nan, which would definitely cause the hostility of the Yin Gui Sect. As for whether the Yin Queen would take action against him,
that was unclear. Su Fan wasn't someone who would sit and wait for death.
Of course, Su Fan was only wary. As for being afraid, he really wasn't very afraid. If the Yin Queen wanted to kill him, it would definitely be very difficult.
Martial generals practice physical martial arts, and there is one point: to use online gaming terms, that is, high HP.
Su Fan might even be able to counter-injure the other side by bursting out with physical damage.
It's just that Su Fan didn't want to suffer both losses; the Yin Gui Sect wasn't his mortal enemy.
After arranging Dantu Xian, Su Fan brought the injured Ling Zhan back to Wu Jun. Wu Jun was Su Fan's base camp.
Ling Zhan's injuries weren't light, but fortunately, Su Fan was a medical master, so it was naturally no problem.
During the few days he was treating Ling Zhan's internal injuries, the Jiangnan martial arts world was in an uproar. That evil monk Fa Nan was dead.
He died in Wu Jun, at the hands of a general in the army.
The evil monk Fa Nan might not have had much of a reputation in the entire martial arts world, but in the Jiangnan region, his evil name was something no one didn't know.
Because his strength was ranked as Innate first-class, and he had the Iron Cavalry Association behind him, no one in the Jiangnan martial arts world dared to punish evil and promote good.
And the top forces knew his other identity, a disciple of the Yin Gui Sect, so they naturally wouldn't provoke him.
However, for his death, naturally many people were very happy. While happy, they were also shocked.
When did such an expert come to Wu Jun? It was said that Fa Nan was finished off by the other side in just one move.
Of course, for this statement, almost no one believed it. Fa Nan was, after all, Innate first-class. Perhaps he was a bit inferior to Yin Kaishan or Shi Long, but he was still a genuine first-class expert.
To want to solve him in one move, I'm afraid that besides those Grandmaster experts, only top super first-class combat experts with profound inheritance could do it.
Such as the many Sect Leaders and elders of the Demonic Sect, they weren't Grandmasters, but their combat power far exceeded ordinary Innate first-class and super first-class.
Such experts, which one wasn't a person who had been famous for a long time?
So no one believed it.
But this person's strength was definitely extraordinary, at least at the level of Shi Long, or even super first-class, the level of a Demonic Sect elder.
With such an expert sitting in the army, and having an army, the Jiangnan martial arts world felt great pressure.
Of course, the one with the biggest reaction was the Iron Cavalry Association.
After all, Fa Nan was a person of the Iron Cavalry Association. If he was killed and the Iron Cavalry Association didn't make a sound, I'm afraid people's hearts would scatter.
Ren Shaoming of the Iron Cavalry Association spoke out immediately, clamoring that after he finished his business, he would head to Wu Jun and chop off that general's head.
Instantly, the southern martial arts world placed many eyes on Wu Jun, a place that had originally been unknown.
They wanted to see, when the Iron Cavalry Association faced Wu Jun, what kind of ending there would be.
Of course, there were also some well-informed people who were secretly gloating. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
