?Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Timely Rescue_1 Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Timely Rescue_1 Just before, Xu Fan had been searching without any luck for the Thunderclap Strange Serpent, but he unexpectedly came across Qin Qinglong, who had fallen into a desperate plight.
In the past, Xu Fan had indeed promised Long Aotian that he would help Qin Qinglong obtain the inheritance of the Northern Territory Sovereign.
Since Qin Qinglong was caught in a dire situation, he naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch him die.
Furthermore, both Qin Qinglong and he were members of the Flame Dragon Organization.
By all means, they should assist each other; otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke to outsiders, leading them to believe there was discord within the Flame Dragon Organization?
So, upon seeing Qin Qinglong in danger, Xu Fan didn’t hesitate at all and rushed over to save him.
With Xu Fan’s knowledge, he could tell at a glance the true nature of these Spirit-attached Paper Puppets; they were nothing more than puppet-like things.
And the person controlling them was none other than Medic Brother, not far away.
Thus, Xu Fan’s approach was very simple and direct—he used a Psychic Barrier to cut off the connection between Medic Brother and the Spirit-attached Paper Puppets.
However, as simple as it sounded, achieving this was incredibly challenging.
It must be known that the Yuling Sect’s Paper-cutting Spirit Enchantment technique established a connection between fresh blood secret methods and Spirit-attached Paper Puppets—a very strong connection that, ordinarily, could not be severed unless through death.
Now, absent the puppeteer’s control, these Spirit-attached Paper Puppets naturally stopped moving.
It was also fortunate that Xu Fan arrived just in time; had he been even slightly later, by just a second or two, Qin Qinglong could very well have been killed by the Spirit-attached Paper Puppets.
Seeing what unfolded before his eyes, Medic Brother was stunned, taking a long time to come back to his senses.
After all, such a scenario was unprecedented for him.
He never imagined that there could be someone in the world capable of such a feat.
“Puff puff puff…”
The next second, the several Spirit-attached Paper Puppets deflated like punctured cowhide, rapidly shriveling up and, in a blink, turned into several tattered pieces of paper less than half a meter long that fluttered to the ground.
Qin Qinglong let out a sigh of relief; his injuries had eased somewhat, and struggling to his feet from the ground, he thanked Xu Fan gratefully, “Thank you, Patron Xu, for saving my life.
I will remember this kindness forever.”
Xu Fan walked over to Qin Qinglong’s side, placed his hand lightly on Qin Qinglong’s back, and sent Spiritual Energy to help Qin Qinglong recover from his injuries.
It was only at this moment that Medic Brother finally snapped out of his shock.
Furious that his Spirit-attached Paper Puppets had been destroyed under such circumstances, Medic Brother glared at Xu Fan with bitter resentment and shouted fiercely, “You damned bastard, how dare you destroy my Spirit-attached Paper Puppets, it seems you have a death wish!”
Having said that, Medic Brother took out several Talismans from his chest, ready to throw them.
However, at that moment, a short and chubby young man by his side suddenly seemed to realize something and became panic-stricken.
He quickly grabbed Medic Brother’s arm, urgently saying, “Please don’t be rash, Medic Brother!”
“Why are you grabbing me?
Let go!”
Medic Brother was already extremely angry, and now with the short and chubby young man holding him back, it made him even more infuriated.
The short and chubby young man stole a glance at Xu Fan and whispered in persuasion, “Medic Brother, really, don’t be rash.
This person, we cannot afford to offend.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Medic Brother roared uncontrollably, pushing away the hand of the short and chubby young man.
He simply didn’t believe the short and chubby young man’s words.
“You damned bastard, no matter who you are, since you’ve provoked me today, you can’t blame me for being cruel.
I’ll extract your soul and spirit to craft new Spirit-attached Paper Puppets!”
Medic Brother bellowed malevolently, and, finishing his words, he threw the several Talismans in his hand towards Xu Fan.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
There were a total of four talismans, which in mid-air transformed into a dragon, a tiger, a leopard, and a wolf, roaring as they pounced toward Xu Fan.
However, Xu Fan did not even turn his head, merely waving his hand lightly, and a gust of spiritual wind swept past.
Instantly, the four ferocious beasts formed from the talismans dissipated into nothingness in mid-air, as if nothing had happened at all.
“What…”
This scene left the Senior Apothecary completely dumbfounded, and he looked at Xu Fan in disbelief, asking with shock, “Who…
who exactly are you?”
Xu Fan did not pay him any attention, instead turning to ask Qin Qinglong, “How do you feel now?”
“Thank you, Patron Xu, I’m feeling much better now,” Qin Qinglong said with a face full of gratitude.
He was now completely convinced by Xu Fan.
At first, he had been very uneasy about traveling with Xu Fan.
After all, they had just had a conflict a few days ago, so it was inevitable that he would worry whether Xu Fan might try to trip him up.
Especially in this isolated place, even if Xu Fan killed him, it was likely that no one would ever know.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Xu Fan not only did not seek revenge, but instead repaid grievance with kindness, rescuing him when he was in dire straits.
Such great benevolence and generosity made Qin Qinglong feel nothing but gratitude and admiration for Xu Fan.
The short and plump young man said tremblingly, “Senior Apothecary, this person is Xu Fan, the new Patron appointed by the Flame Dragon Organization!”
“What did you say!” Upon hearing this, the Senior Apothecary became even more panicked.
Although he did not know who Xu Fan was, since he was qualified to be a Patron of the Flame Dragon Organization, there was no doubt that his strength was extremely formidable.
You should know that even his grandfather, a pseudo-Dongxu-level practitioner, wasn’t qualified to serve as a Patron for the Flame Dragon Organization, which says a lot!
Could it be that this young man named Xu Fan is truly a Dongxu-level practitioner?
What a joke?
If there was a Dongxu-level practitioner here, who else could be his opponent in this place?
No matter what the truth was, the Senior Apothecary recovered and hurriedly put on a smile, saying, “I am truly sorry, Patron Xu, we were blind to not recognize Tai Shan and inadvertently offended you.
We hope you can be magnanimous and not take offense at our ignorance.”
The others also hurriedly apologized and begged for mercy.
If they were outside, they might be able to reveal their backgrounds, which could perhaps make Xu Fan think twice.
But in this isolated place, even if their backer was the world’s number one fighter, it would be of no use here.
To die here would be to die in obliviousness, a vain death.
So naturally, they would not be foolish enough to oppose a strong person like Xu Fan.
Xu Fan couldn’t be bothered to trouble himself with these people, replying indifferently, “Enough talk, all of you get lost.”
“…Yes, yes, yes!”
The Senior Apothecary and his companions were overjoyed, fearing Xu Fan might change his mind, and did not dare to delay, quickly leaving one after another.
Watching the backs of these people leaving, Qin Qinglong’s eyes were full of anger.
Then, he cupped his fists toward Xu Fan and said, “Patron Xu, if it weren’t for you, I might have been done for here.
Otherwise, I would have fought them desperately, dragging them into the swarm of the Thunderclap Strange Serpent to die together!”
Xu Fan was taken aback and asked, “What did you just say?
