Chapter 1829: Leaving Shanhe City

"Little girl, you'd better hand over that snake!"

"If you oppose our Linglong Pavilion, you won't live to regret it!"

The little girl clutched the tiny crimson flame snake tightly, refusing to budge an inch, even as the glinting iron-ring knives gleamed before her.

"Xiao Bai is mine—you sent people to steal him from me!"

"Now you want to auction him off? I'll never give Xiao Bai to you!"

Though frightened, the green-clad girl stood firm and unyielding; this sudden scene drew the attention of Luo Fu and Gong Sun Huohuo.

Though Zhang Bufen was usually timid and perpetually unlucky, he still had a strong sense of justice when faced with bullying—the first to step forward.

"Let's talk this out calmly!"

"Drawing weapons on a little girl—aren't you ashamed to be seen doing this?"

"You just said you're from where? What's this Linglong Pavilion? What kind of place is that? Harassing a little girl—is that what you call being a hero?" said Zhang Bufen.

The crowd around them was stunned by Zhang Bufen's words.

After all, they were locals of Shanhe City—they knew exactly what the Linglong Pavilion was.

To offend the Linglong Pavilion meant you'd never survive in Shanhe City; so even as they watched the black-clad giants bullying the girl, no one dared speak up.

But Zhang Bufen didn't know—and that's why he could say something so shocking.

The nearby onlookers thought Zhang Bufen had great courage.

Yet Luo Fu and Gong Sun Huohuo smiled—they knew the boy's hands and legs were shaking uncontrollably, terrified beyond words.

The black-clad giants glanced at Zhang Bufen, their eyes flashing with malice.

"Are you with her?"

"Anyone who dares defy the Linglong Pavilion won't leave Shanhe City alive!" The leader suddenly raised his iron-ring knife and brought it down toward Zhang Bufen's head.

The iron-ring knife flashed with icy light, unleashing a powerful surge of killing intent.

A white flash shot out, forcing nearby onlookers to shut their eyes.

Zhang Bufen froze—he'd only shouted a threat to save the girl, never expecting them to actually kill.

They truly dared to murder in broad daylight!

He'd already been terrified; now he stood rooted to the spot, stripped of all will or ability to flee.

Fortunately, Luo Fu raised his hand and blocked the blade for Zhang Bufen!

The black-clad giant frowned, puzzled—this man hadn't even touched his blade, yet had effortlessly dispelled his spiritual energy!

Before he could think further, Luo Fu gave him a light push.

Yet that seemingly feeble palm strike sent the black-clad giant flying—straight across the street into the alley beside them.

Zhang Bufen and Meng Guangbai were stunned anew by Luo Fu's power.

Gong Sun Huohuo clapped from the side.

"Master is amazing!"

The black-clad giants immediately raised their weapons, surrounding Luo Fu completely, no longer underestimating this unknown youth.

"Who are you? Daring to oppose the Linglong Pavilion in Shanhe City—you must not want to live!"

"Hand over the girl and that crimson-black snake, or you'll regret today's choice!" another black-clad man said.

Luo Fu sighed at these two lines of nonsense, clearly growing impatient.
