Long Tianze looked dejectedly at Ning Fan, now being stepped on by him, he didn't dare to speak a word of defiance.
He had thought that everything was under his control, but he hadn't expected to be outplayed by Ning Fan this time.
"Hurry up, get a move on!"
Ning Fan urged, continually slapping Long Tianze's face with the flat side of the knife.
Long Tianze's face was filled with bitterness, and his eyes showed helplessness. After sensing the murderous intent in Ning Fan's tone, he became fully aware of his current situation.
"Release the person!"
Long Tianze shouted, causing the people on the container to look at each other in confusion, while the crane operator subconsciously began to turn the iron cage, preparing to lower it down.
"Who gave you the authority to make that decision?!"
Suddenly, Faltas's voice rang out. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and emerged from the container with a feral look on his face.
The crane immediately stopped, and Long Tianze's face changed, turning deathly pale in an instant.
Faltas was still alive or, rather, still able to move, which wasn't good news for Long Tianze, and neither was it for Ning Fan.
Ning Fan frowned as he looked toward Faltas, who was now somewhat disheveled, his head had been smashed open, and he had multiple fractures.
But for Faltas, who no longer felt pain, these were nothing. He couldn't feel them, and as long as he could still move, he could continue to fight.
"Long Tianze, you've got some nerve, what do you think you are?!"
Faltas sneered disdainfully at Long Tianze, who was being stepped on by Ning Fan.
Did he actually think of releasing Xu Ruolan?
Not to mention the Genetic Potion, which was extremely important to the Fang Guild, needed to use Xu Ruolan; Faltas would never agree for the sake of revenge for his sister. With this hostage, Ning Fan must be wary of this factor.
Ning Fan instantly understood that Long Tianze's position within the Fang Guild was not high, and it was quite low indeed. He couldn't help feeling some pity as he looked at Long Tianze.
"Faltas, do you really value your personal grudges more than my life?!"
Long Tianze, after all, was the underground overlord of Su City, not to mention even a clay figure has a three-point fire. Being oppressed by Faltas for so long, he had been feeling angry for a while now.
Now that his own life was in Ning Fan's hands, if he didn't release Xu Ruolan, was he really just going to throw his life away ?
"Hahaha!" As if he had heard a hilarious joke, Faltas burst into laughter upon hearing these words.
"You, Long Tianze, are nothing but a dog of our Fang Guild, we have plenty more where you came from, laughable, what Dragon Gate, Ninth Master, worthless in our eyes. You've made our plans go awry several times, what use is there in keeping you?"
Faltas sneered coldly, directly calling Long Tianze nothing more than a dog of the Fang Guild.
Long Tianze couldn't hold back and roared furiously, calling out Faltas's name in aggravation.
"How ridiculous, a dog dares to bark at its masters, open fire, send them on their way!"
Faltas had now realized he had no chance of taking revenge personally; he was simply no match for Ning Fan.
But that didn't mean he would let Ning Fan and his people leave easily. The Fang Guild had deployed so many people here, Faltas didn't believe Ning Fan could grow a pair of wings and escape!
Upon hearing Faltas order to open fire, Long Tianze was so angry he trembled all over. After all, he was Su City's underground emperor, the Sect Leader of Dragon Gate Martial Arts School!
But such an identity, to the people of the Fang Guild, was just a dog?
Suddenly, countless cold-faced men clad in black leather outfits surged from the container, holding guns in their hands, all aimed at Ning Fan.
Xu Ruolan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, now began to worry about Ning Fan again and couldn't help but shout, "Ning Fan, don't worry about me anymore, just go!"
Ning Fan looked at Xu Ruolan and gave her a reassuring smile, then proudly shouted at Faltas, "Whether King Yan takes me is not for you to decide!"
"Hmph, bluffing till the end, still so defiant when death is on the doorstep, open fire!"
Gunshots echoed across the docks as Faltas's smile gradually solidified.
Atop the container, members of the Fang Guild were shot in the head one after another, blood mist filled the air, and those who were about to shoot Ning Fan were all killed on the spot.
"What's going on?!" Faltas screamed, disbelievingly watching as his men fell one by one to the ground.
Under the cover of night, dozens of nimble shadows flitted across the containers. The members of the Fang Guild finally reacted, moving to face the oncoming attack, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
Seeing his men being overwhelmed, Faltas's face was drenched in cold sweat, he gritted his teeth, hatefully staring at Ning Fan not far away.
"I may not be able to have my revenge, but I won't let you off either!"
Suddenly, Faltas dashed towards the crane, and Ning Fan's face changed dramatically, realizing instantly what the man intended to do.
Ning Fan quickly shot out several Silver Needles, but they were slightly off-target, and as Faltas charged onto the crane ready to cut the rope, Ning Fan's eyes turned blood red.
Ning Fan roared out in anger, as Faltas laughed maniacally, brandishing his knife to sever the rope.
With a thud, accompanied by Xu Ruolan's scream, the rope connected to the cage snapped. Witnessing this, Ning Fan, consumed by rage, cleaved Faltas in two.
Blood gushed violently, creating a cloud of red mist!
Faltas's voice cut off abruptly, but he died with a smile on his face.
After killing Faltas on the spot, Ning Fan didn't linger; he leaped down, plunging into the depths below.
Splash splash, the sounds of Xu Ruolan's cage and Ning Fan sinking echoed as they submerged into the icy waters.
Ning Fan opened his eyes, a pale blue light shining in their depths as the dizziness in his mind slowly dissipated, his blood dyeing the surrounding seawater red.
He looked towards the rapidly sinking cage, desperately swimming downwards.
Thankfully, due to the proximity to the shore, the water wasn't particularly deep; soon, with a thud, the cage hit the seabed and Ning Fan reached the cage at the same time.
Inside the cage, Xu Ruolan had already passed out. Ning Fan grabbed the bars, his muscles bulging as he used all his strength trying to pry open the cage.
Above the surface, water bubbles continually appeared. The black-clad, masked attackers who had stormed the dock had now taken care of all the Fang Guild's men, with many gathering on the shore, looking down at the situation below.
"Open up!" Ning Fan yelled in his mind, his wounds all bursting open, a large amount of blood turning the sea a deep red.
Finally, the cage bent under Ning Fan's force, creating an opening large enough for a person to escape through.
Ning Fan fought off the dizziness in his head and quickly pulled Xu Ruolan out, then pressed his lips against her cold ones, transferring the last of his oxygen into her mouth.
But... a sharp pain caused Ning Fan's body to convulse...
