"Unsatisfied?"
The smile on Da Jingang’s face suddenly froze.
Strength is king.
Thinking that he and his companions had expended so much energy to fight Chu Fan, yet he was merely warming up. If they had truly fought to the death, all four of them would surely have perished.
Although he desperately wanted to kill Chu Fan, Da Jingang could only restrain himself and said with a forced smile, "Young brother, we have already followed your instructions and dealt with the Ding family..."
"Did I tell you to do it?"
Chu Fan interrupted Da Jingang directly.
"I did ask you to act earlier, but you didn't follow my instructions!"
"Did I ask you to act just now?"
The expressions of the Four Great Jingangs were filled with shame.
So, in the end, they had gone and done something unnecessary?
Fu Piaoyao walked over at this moment and supported Chu Fan, saying, "Exactly, we gave you the chance to act earlier, but you refused!"
"After you had already acted, and realized my companion was difficult to deal with, you then proceeded to kill the Ding family."
"You Four Great Jingangs truly pick on the weak."
The Four Great Jingangs clenched their fists, doing their best to suppress the anger within them.
At this moment, they realized they had been used as pawns by Chu Fan.
Just now, Chu Fan had clearly witnessed the Three Great Jingangs being dispatched to deal with the Ding family, yet he had not intervened.
After the Ding family was dealt with, he claimed that he had not instructed them to act, stating that they had acted on their own initiative, clearly toying with them.
As powerful Grandmasters, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?
Da Jingang’s eyes glazed over as he stared at Chu Fan, his tone becoming unfriendly. "Young brother, forgive and forget when possible!"
"We followed your instructions out of respect for you, not because we fear you!"
"If you think we are fools and easy to bully!"
"Then we will fight you to the death!"
"Do you really think you were evenly matched with us just now because your strength was inferior to ours?"
His words carried a strong undertone of threat.
Da Jingang wanted to tell Chu Fan not to be so arrogant just because he had some strength; they were not pushovers either.
Even a rabbit would bite if cornered.
What more four Grandmasters?
Chu Fan grinned. "Are you warning me?"
"I am toying with you like a fool, what of it? Are you not convinced?"
"If you're not convinced, then come!"
Faced with Chu Fan's provocation, the Four Great Jingangs were truly infuriated to the point of death.
They had hoped that by making Chu Fan realize they were not easily bullied, he would temper his arrogance, and they could sit down and talk properly.kanδん
However, the other party simply did not buy into that.
Having resolved to fight to the death, the Four Great Jingangs truly did not want to, as they were uncertain if they could defeat Chu Fan even if they did.
If they couldn't defeat him, wouldn't they have died in vain?
Moreover, even if they managed to defeat him, would the four of them escape unscathed?
Given the strength Chu Fan had displayed just now, it was highly unlikely.
The Four Great Jingangs might even suffer one or two casualties today.
Those who survived would inevitably be severely injured.
Suffering injuries would greatly diminish their strength, having a significant impact on their future development.
Therefore, the Four Great Jingangs truly did not wish to antagonize Chu Fan.
The Three Great Jingangs behind Da Jingang now looked at the corpse of Ding Changshui, wishing they could stomp on it a few times to vent their hatred.
Earlier, if Ding Changshui hadn't suddenly claimed that Chu Fan had been poisoned, leading them to believe that Chu Fan's strength was indeed affected, would they have rashly made a move?
If they hadn't been impulsive, they wouldn't be in this awkward predicament now.
"Big brother, I'm begging you, please don't make things difficult for us anymore!"
"You are powerful, and we truly don't want to oppose you. We admit defeat and bow our heads, isn't that enough?"
Da Jingang suddenly spoke, his arrogant demeanor completely vanished, replaced by a pleading expression.
There was no other way; Chu Fan's unfathomable strength made it incredibly difficult for him to muster the will to fight.
Unable to resist, he could only bow his head.
To ease the tension between them, even as a Grandmaster and the leader of the Four Great Jingangs, Da Jingang could only lower his head.
"This..."
"What a rare sight!"
Fu Piaoyao's eyes widened in disbelief, finding it hard to fathom that the domineering Da Jingang would choose to yield, his tone filled with pleading, as if he truly didn't want to fight Chu Fan.
Chu Fan was both surprised and not surprised by Da Jingang's change in attitude.
However, seeing that Da Jingang was sincerely bowing his head, he decided to temporarily put aside the thought of killing the four of them.
Grandmasters were not common cabbages found by the roadside.
Each one killed meant one less, and if they could be utilized, they would be of great help in developing the forces he would eventually create.
"You want me to let this matter go? That's possible!"
"But you must do as I say!"
Seeing that there was room for negotiation, Da Jingang quickly asked, "What are your demands!"
"The Yunshan Sect to the north, you should know of it, right?"
The Yunshan Sect to the north, Da Jingang frowned, feeling as if he had heard of it somewhere. The Third Jingang quickly stepped forward and whispered, "It's a small sect!"
Da Jingang suddenly remembered that there was indeed an insignificant sect to the north called Yunshan Sect. He immediately nodded. "Yes!"
"From now on, at least two of you four must go to the Yunshan Sect to provide support and assist in its expansion!"
To be the Four Great Jingangs of the Changsheng Sect, yet to go and garrison the Yunshan Sect.
Da Jingang's expression became difficult once more.
If it were up to him to decide, this matter would not be difficult, because for people of their caliber, it made no difference where they cultivated.
The primary purpose of a strong individual being stationed somewhere was deterrence; unless they encountered someone as monstrous as Chu Fan, they would rarely need to take action.
However, there were still the sect leader and elders of the Changsheng Sect above them.
They would absolutely not agree to dispatch two Great Jingangs to garrison the Yunshan Sect.
Considering these factors, Da Jingang said with great difficulty, "Brother, can we change the request?"
"We, the Four Great Jingangs, are also living under someone else's roof and acting on their behalf!"
"To suddenly leave would be inappropriate!"
Chu Fan raised his right eyebrow, his voice turning cold. "Since you feel it's inappropriate, then you can stay here today!"
"I am not here to bargain with you. I am simply telling you that if you want to survive, you will do as I say."
An invisible pressure emanated from Chu Fan.
While meticulously controlled, Fu Piaoyao felt nothing, but the Four Great Jingangs were different.
As the targets of Chu Fan's focused suppression, the four of them suddenly felt as if a giant mountain had appeared before them, bringing with it a suffocating sense of pressure.
Simultaneously, a strong scent of blood wafted into their nostrils, as if they were in a battlefield littered with corpses.
They couldn't win.
They absolutely couldn't win.
With each breath, the Four Great Jingangs were certain that even if all four of them joined forces, they would decisively not be Chu Fan's match.
To fight head-on would only lead to a dead end.
"Alright!"
"We will do as you say!"
"But, you need to give us some time to make arrangements!"
With the situation as it was, and to survive, even though the task was difficult, Da Jingang had no choice but to agree for the time being.
