A finger of Sword Qi, turning wine into ice!

Not to mention his swordsmanship, just this kind of overbearing Innate Qi Energy would be enough to dominate Shanghai, right?

Clearly, he was very satisfied with Xu Fan's expression at this moment. The man in the white robe indifferently said, "Since Black Snake died because of you, then you, Xu Fan, are the main culprit."

"I, Li Xiaochen, am now giving you two choices."

"One, I will execute your entire family with my sword, leaving no one alive. Two, from today onwards, you, Xu Fan, will become my Sword-carrying Slave for the rest of your life, never to rebel."

Li Xiaochen's gaze was like that of one overlooking ants. As his words fell, he said no more.

With his strength, he didn't feel that Xu Fan would dare to defy his wishes.

"Sword-carrying Slave..."

Xu Fan was holding a wine cup in his hand, and he let out a faint laugh.

The term "Sword-carrying Slave" was not unfamiliar to him; he had heard the old immortal speak of it before.

A Sword-carrying Slave has no freedom for life, attending to all the needs of the Sword Master. Should the Sword Master encounter danger, the slave must risk their life to rescue them.

This responsibility lasts until death.

Under the oppression of absolute power, a Sword-carrying Slave has no chance to resist.

The choices Li Xiaochen was now giving him, in other words, were to either die or to become Li Xiaochen's dog.

"My entire family is just me, I'm afraid you won't be able to execute me."

"Further, I, Xu Fan, have never had the habit of laying before others and barking like a dog."

Speaking indifferently, one could see the wine cup Xu Fan held began to emit a thin mist.

The whiskey that had been frozen by Li Xiaochen's finger of Sword Qi was now slowly melting away.

In an instant, only a small piece of ice was left floating in the cup.

Still not stopping, the wine in Xu Fan's hand was now boiling, which could not help but bring a shade of surprise to Li Xiaochen's calm face.

This was almost like an imitation of his own moves.

This guy's cultivation level didn't seem lower than his own.

This age...

The youth before him was much younger than himself and yet had already stepped into the Innate Realm. What did that make him, whom his master called a once-in-a-lifetime talent?

A flicker of jealousy crossed Li Xiaochen's eyes!

This man must not be left alive!

"Hmph."

With a muffled snort, the menacing look on Li Xiaochen's face dissipated, and he gave Xu Fan a cold glance, saying, "Xu Fan, a person only has one life."

"I, Li Xiaochen, ­will overlook your youthful arrogance. I can pretend I did not hear what you just said."

"I'll give you half a month's time. During this half month, you can ponder how to survive, or you can arrange your affairs for after death, that is your freedom."

Having said that, Li Xiaochen took a fleeting glance at Xu Fan and continued, "This time, entrusted by others, the Ke Family has my protection, Li Xiaochen. You, Xu Fan, cannot touch them."

"Whether it is the Green Rakshasa or the entire Qing Gang, now, these lives are all tied to you by a single thread. In these days, you should ponder carefully."

After speaking, Li Xiaochen prepared to leave, his sleeves fluttering.

Hearing the name Green Rakshasa from his mouth, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown.

No wonder the Green Rakshasa had not been in contact with him these days; it turns out they had aroused his suspicion.

Given his current situation, he indeed dared not act rashly.

After all, with a single sword strike, Li Xiaochen could take his life.

As for his suspicion towards the Qing Gang, that was not surprising either.

"Hold on."

Just as Li Xiaochen was about to leave, Xu Fan suddenly called out to him.

Li Xiaochen turned back with a frown, and seeing Xu Fan's friendly smile, his eyebrows rose.

It seemed that the boy had come to understand the value of life and was probably ready to submit to him.

Xu Fan was now holding two glasses of wine and walked over.

"Li Xiaochen, a visitor is always a guest. Since you're here, why don't you have a drink with me before you go?"

As Xu Fan spoke, he smiled and handed one of the glasses to Li Xiaochen.

"Fine, I'll give you that much respect."

Not worried about Xu Fan poisoning the wine, Li Xiaochen took the glass, smiled, and drained it in one go.

After sharing a drink with Li Xiaochen, Xu Fan glanced at him and said, "By the way, there's something about Ke Longxiang that I want to tell you."

"Hmm?"

Li Xiaochen looked at Xu Fan with a puzzled expression, immediately going on guard as he saw him approaching after he had finished speaking.

However, Xu Fan didn't make a move but instead leaned in to whisper a few words in his ear.

"What did you say?"

Not having heard clearly what Xu Fan whispered in his ear, Li Xiaochen looked at him with confusion.

Xu Fan didn't explain; instead, he gave Li Xiaochen a pat on the shoulder and said, "You understand."

"What a load of nonsense."

Xu Fan's actions completely baffled Li Xiaochen, who shot him a glare and then left straight away.

...

"Boss, who the hell is this guy?"

Only after confirming that Li Xiaochen had left, did the bar owner who had been hiding in the dark muster the courage to come over.

Having been scared nearly half to death hiding in the dark as arranged by Xu Fan, the owner felt somewhat relieved now that the man was gone.

"A big shot brought in by the Ke Family, the very strong type."

Xu Fan said as he looked toward the door.

This guy's Inner Breath was much stronger than his own, not to mention his swordsmanship. Xu Fan really wasn't sure if he could beat him.

Now shifting his gaze from the door, he looked at the bar owner.

"How about the thing I asked you to do? How's it coming along?"

"All, all here!"

Although the bar owner had been on tenterhooks, he had done a good job with the task Xu Fan had assigned him.

Laughing hee-hee, he handed the camera he was carrying over to Xu Fan.

"Take a look, every single photo captured the face."

The bar owner was showing Xu Fan the pictures he had sneakily taken just moments before.

You could see that the photos clearly captured Xu Fan drinking with the other man and the close moment when he whispered in his ear.

The photos were indeed well taken, and Xu Fan nodded his head, quite pleased.

"But, boss, what do you need these photos for?"

Not quite understanding Xu Fan's intentions, the bar owner asked curiously.

Xu Fan smiled lightly and countered, "If you were Ke Longxiang and Anadan, what would you think upon seeing your ally meeting privately and intimately with the enemy?"

"That..."

It was a thought that sent a chill down the bartender's spine, and he looked at Xu Fan with tingling trepidation.

The man was bad news – not only could he fight, but he also had such a crafty mind. It was downright terrifying, wasn't it?

Grinning wryly, the bar owner gave Xu Fan a thumbs up and said, "Boss, that's a wicked move, I love it!"

With these photos, as soon as they reached the eyes of Ke Longxiang and Anadan, Li Xiaochen, even with ten mouths, would likely be unable to clear his name.

Caught with the evidence, guilty or not, Li Xiaochen was going to have his hands full dealing with the aftermath.

Moreover, now that the Green Rakshasa was under Li Xiaochen's control, with just a bit of clever thinking, these photos could be used to turn the tables and frame Li Xiaochen.

Of course, with Anadan being from the Heavenly Witch Sect, it wasn't hard to imagine whom she would choose to believe under the influence of these photos...
