Chapter 1008: Chapter 997: I Faint at the Sight of Blood!!!
Dragon City Mountain, gentle slope at the back.
Zhao Xue’er wasn’t physically restrained in any way, but the burly man in black standing by Ning Xinlan’s side only needed a glance to stop her from attempting to rush toward Ning Fan.
Her cheek was swollen high, tears swirled in Zhao Xue’er’s eyes, and she tried hard not to cry out loud.
She was afraid that if she cried out loud, it would put Ning Fan in a difficult position.
“Brother Ning Fan, you should go, call the police…”
Zhao Xue’er knew Ning Fan wouldn’t ignore her, and at the moment, she wanted him to escape the intimidation of this burly man in black, so she had to find an excuse to make him leave.
“Call the police? Haha, who in the entire Dragon City dares to not give me, Ning Xinlan, face? If you let the chief of police stand in front of me, he wouldn’t dare make a peep, believe it or not?”
Ning Xinlan extended her hand, a hint of a cruel smile in her eyes, pinching Zhao Xue’er’s cheek, and said leisurely, “Truly a love story, no wonder he dared to come alone for you.”
“Let her go…”
A low voice sounded amidst the autumn wind that swept through the fallen leaves.
“What? I can’t hear you.”
Ning Xinlan looked at Ning Fan, whose eyes gradually turned blood-red, a sneer tugging at her lips as she deliberately tilted her ear, pretending not to hear Ning Fan’s words.
“I said, let her go!”
Ning Fan roared, unable to suppress the violent instincts inside, his figure darting forward like lightning, his fists like wind, directly charging at Ning Xinlan.
“Dare to make a move, cripple him!”
Ning Xinlan was startled, shouted loudly, issuing orders to the burly man in black at her side.
“Heh heh, daring to lay a hand on the Ning family lady, just this charge is enough for your corpse to be hung on the ancient locust tree of Dragon City Mountain.”
The burly man in black grinned hideously, a sinister expression on his face, a fierce glint in his eyes, charging towards Ning Fan.
He had heard of the name Asura.
But now it seemed, meeting wasn’t as impressive as hearing, after all, just a fool who loses his mind for a woman.
However, the moment his fist, as big as a clay pot, collided with Ning Fan’s seemingly weak fist, he suddenly realized he was wrong!
And terribly wrong at that!
“Bang!”
A thunderous and utterly shocking sound erupted suddenly on Dragon City Mountain.
As the personal bodyguard arranged for Ning Xinlan by the Ning Family, the burly man in black, who ranked high among the Ning Family protectors, couldn’t withstand a single blow from Ning Fan, and was knocked away.
If one must find a comparison, it was as if he was hit by a small truck.
He was flung about seven or eight meters away, smashing a human-shaped crater into the soft ground.
Countless fallen leaves danced, the tranquility of late autumn vanished in that moment.
With the burly man in black down, Ning Xinlan faced Ning Fan directly, meeting his bloodthirsty eyes, devoid of any human warmth, as her heart pounded uncontrollably.
“You… don’t come closer, what are you trying to do? If you take another step, I’ll kill her!”
Ning Xinlan bit her lip, her body slightly trembling, yet still stubbornly refusing to release Zhao Xue’er.
She pulled out a gleaming dagger from her waist, pressing it against Zhao Xue’er’s fair neck, glaring fiercely at Ning Fan.
“Kneel down immediately!”
Ning Xinlan gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t think you can scare me just because you can fight. Don’t you go around asking whose territory Dragon City is. If you dare come closer, I’ll first kill your sweetheart, then take you to hell!”
“Brother Ning Fan… calm down, don’t act rashly, the Ning family of Dragon City is not something we can provoke, don’t worry about me, just go down the mountain.”
Tears were uncontrollably falling on Zhao Xue’er’s fair face, marking two streaks.
This meeting with Ning Fan had already pleased her greatly; she didn’t understand why she was targeted by the Ning family lady, but as an ordinary person living in Dragon City for many years, she deeply understood what this family meant to ordinary people.
No matter how powerful Ning Fan was, he had no capability to contend with such a terrifying existence.
She couldn’t let her dear brother Ning Fan fall into an unfathomable abyss because of her.
“You really won’t let go, huh? Your bodyguard is down. What confidence do you have left to stop me from rescuing her?”
Ning Fan stood sideways, the leaves falling like rain over his head.
He looked at Ning Xinlan, his eyes cold, his figure standing straight.
There was no indication of emotion stirred by Ning Xinlan’s hysterical words.
Making him kneel?
What joke is that!
Even if Ning Xinlan hadn’t acted against Zhao Xue’er, just being a Ning Family member from Dragon City, Ning Fan would eventually confront her someday.
“It seems the Ning family really needs to be disciplined. Let me take the first strike for you!”
Ning Fan’s eyes sharpened, he stepped forward.
The world suddenly changed color.
“Don’t come closer, I really will do it!”
Seeing Ning Fan’s footsteps move, Ning Xinlan’s heart raced, her hand holding the dagger trembled continuously, she was truly afraid.
No one had ever dared challenge the Ning family in Dragon City, if there were, they had all ended up as lifeless corpses.
She, Ning Xinlan, may have no stand in many matters, but the Ning family’s prestige was her greatest support.
But now, with the burly man in black down, it seemed the Ning family’s reputation couldn’t deter the man before her.
What was she to do?
Ning Xinlan gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, the dagger thrust towards Zhao Xue’er’s neck.
“You forced me!”
She didn’t believe Ning Fan would truly harm her, since he wouldn’t heed her warning, he should prepare psychologically for the death of his dear one at her hands.
A violent flicker shone in Ning Xinlan’s eyes as she thought with a cold smile.
Yet at that moment, a gust of autumn wind blew.
Ning Fan, having taken a few steps, sensed something, reached out and plucked a falling leaf from the air, flicked his wrist, and sent the leaf flying like a blade towards Ning Xinlan who was raising the dagger!
“Slash.”
Like a blade through tofu.
Ning Xinlan was astounded to find she could no longer hold the dagger.
The hand she had poised against Zhao Xue’er’s neck suddenly lost all strength and dropped weakly, swinging before her.
And from her wrist, a leaf slipped, tinged with a hint of blood.
Her wrist’s blood vessels had been severed, countless amounts of blood gushed out.
“Blood… my blood.”
Ning Xinlan’s eyes widened, her flushed face turned deathly pale, she tilted her head back and fainted cleanly.
“Who would’ve thought, the infamous Ning family lady, was actually afraid of blood.”
Ning Fan snorted coldly, his eyes showing no mercy at all.
“Xue’er, are you alright?”
Ning Fan picked up Zhao Xue’er, gently caressed her swollen cheek, his eyes full of tenderness, entirely devoid of the cold ruthlessness that had vanquished the enemy in one blow earlier.
