"Who am I?"
"You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to send troops to deal with me? Tell me, aren't you too foolish?" Zhang Fan heard Lin Xiao's words and couldn't help but sneer.
"Qi Jun is the squad leader of my Flying Tiger Team. Not only did you attack him, but you also crippled him and destroyed his cultivation. Even if you are an invincible Grandmaster, you must pay a price," Lin Xiao said word by word.
Qi Jun's father, Qi Kangming, was the commander of the Flying Tiger Team and Lin Xiao's direct superior. These words were naturally told to him by Qi Kangming.
However, regarding Zhang Fan's identity, Qi Kangming had only given a brief introduction and not a detailed one. He truly did not know Zhang Fan's identity.
Moreover, even Qi Kangming only had a partial understanding of Zhang Fan's identity. He only knew that Zhang Fan had served as an instructor in the Shadow Group and was exceptionally skilled. But now, the Shadow Group had distanced itself from him, making him less worried.
This time, the eldest son of the Qi family being crippled and his cultivation also destroyed had enraged the Qi family.
"You say Lin Xiao's military rank is Major. Do you know what my military rank is?" Zhang Fan stared at Lin Xiao and said calmly.
As soon as he said this, everyone around was stunned, failing to react for a moment.
This young man was indeed extraordinarily skilled. The elite of the Flying Tiger Team were no match for him, like infants.
His courage was also immense. Facing an encirclement of nearly a hundred soldiers and the threat of rocket launchers, he remained unfazed.
However, no matter how one looked at it, he appeared to be just a college student who had not yet entered society, not a soldier.
If he wasn't a soldier, how could he have a military rank?
This was common knowledge even for primary school students.
Even if he were a soldier, with his age of less than twenty, how many military achievements could he have accumulated?
But Lin Xiao was different from ordinary people. Because his status was high enough, he could access some circles that ordinary people couldn't. He knew that there were always special existences that could break the norm.
Initially, he thought Zhang Fan was a martial artist who didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth. But Zhang Fan's words made him realize that perhaps he had misjudged the situation this time.
Someone who dared to brazenly break the legs of the eldest son of the Qi family, cripple his dantian, and openly oppose the Flying Tiger Team was either foolish or possessed heaven-reaching power.
Before meeting Zhang Fan, he had always believed Zhang Fan was the former. But after meeting him, his thoughts wavered.
A single glance from Zhang Fan made him, a congenital Grandmaster, feel pressure. How could an ordinary person achieve this?
He was clearly a super expert!
However…
"Hmph, for daring to cripple Qi Jun, who is a Major, without reason, I have sufficient grounds to apprehend you and send you to a military court." Even though he knew Zhang Fan had some background, Lin Xiao did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, he rebuked sternly.
In his opinion, even if Zhang Fan had obtained military merit and been granted a rank through some connections or special methods, his rank would still be far below Qi Jun's. Even a Major required extensive trials and combat to achieve.
"You dare to talk about capturing me with this bunch of trash?" Zhang Fan's words were filled with undisguised disdain and contempt, instantly enraging the elite of the Flying Tiger Team.
The members of the Flying Tiger Team collectively looked at Lin Xiao. As long as their captain gave the order, they would not hesitate to open fire and blow Zhang Fan to smithereens.
"This is your last chance. Release the hostage, or you will bear the consequences," Lin Xiao, despite his extraordinary composure, couldn't help but become angry when Zhang Fan showed such contempt. He narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Zhang Fan, and said.
His voice was deep, but everyone present could feel the rage contained within his heart, like a volcano about to erupt, which, once ignited, would be earth-shattering.
"Heh heh, you actually think I'm holding this weakling as a hostage?" Hearing this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but shake his head and look at the elite of the Flying Tiger Team, who was hanging by a thread in his grasp, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
With Zhang Fan's abilities, who on this planet was qualified to make him resort to such hostage threats?
"Fine, since holding him makes you hesitant, I'll return him to you." Zhang Fan said and then tossed him aside carelessly.
The Flying Tiger Team's eyes widened at this sight, and even Lin Xiao's expression became more somber. The elite of their Flying Tiger Team being thrown around like a dead dog made them feel a stinging sensation on their faces, as if they had been slapped.
Two members of the Flying Tiger Team quickly helped the man up and sent him for medical treatment.
After the teammate was rescued, with a wave of Lin Xiao's hand, the members of the Flying Tiger Team cheered excitedly and entered combat readiness.
This moment was something they had waited for a long time.
Instantly, the atmosphere became incredibly tense, and a great battle was on the verge of erupting.
"It's about time. Since that little girl hasn't sent anyone to resolve this matter, I'll have to do it myself," Zhang Fan said, stretching lazily as he saw the situation unfold.
"Stay behind me, and no one will be able to harm you," Zhang Fan said to Geng Lesheng and Xu Youran, who were behind him.
Although Xu Youran and the others were also people who had seen the world, the current scene still made them look somewhat solemn. Upon hearing Zhang Fan's words, they couldn't help but lean closer to him.
"Use whatever means you have. Once I make my move, you won't have the chance," Zhang Fan took a step forward and shouted at the fully armed Flying Tiger Team.
"Arrogant!"
Lin Xiao's expression was cold. From their previous contact, he knew that this young man was extraordinarily skilled, at least superior to him.
However, even an invincible Grandmaster would not dare to confront the fully armed Flying Tiger Team head-on.
"Attack!"
Lin Xiao let out a cold command, and the entire Flying Tiger Team rapidly advanced towards Zhang Fan.
