333: I just want your magic mask, understand?
Originally, Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan monitored from two different ends.
Zhuang Bifan was responsible for monitoring the city gate to prevent Fang Han from leaving and going to his meeting point with Ying Hong.
Shen Bei, on the other hand, stayed in the village to prevent Fang Han from sneaking over.
Both of them had already prepared for Fang Han's appearance.
Fang Han might be mixed in with the team, disguised as a soldier.
However, the reality was beyond Shen Bei's expectations.
Shen Bei had guessed correctly.
Fang Han really did come to the tofu-selling village.
However, Fang Han was dressed in a plain, even patched-up, old burlap outfit!
If Fang Nanxi hadn't squatted until her legs were numb, stood up from the ditch to stretch her legs, and happened to make eye contact with Fang Han as he passed by.
She instantly captured the surface emotional fluctuations of his brain.
Even if Fang Han stood in front of Shen Bei, Shen Bei would never have realized that this lone Stranger was actually the Stranger that Fang Han had transformed into!
Who could imagine that a City Lord of a dungeon would dress so simply, without an entourage, and without the scene of people bustling around him?
He was just like a passerby!
At this moment.
Fang Nanxi stared intently at Fang Han.
Fang Han's entire appearance had changed drastically.
He had characteristic triangular eyes, slightly purplish skin, a protruding jaw, and large nostrils.
It must be said, if not for Fang Nanxi, even if Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan were beaten to death, they wouldn't have recognized that beneath this Stranger's face was the human Fang Han.
The three of them stared at each other for nearly a minute.
"Are you still worthy of me calling you brother?"
Fang Nanxi was the first to break the silence, her opening words full of gunpowder.
Fang Han also seemed very surprised; he probably never expected to see Fang Nanxi here.
Looking at her, Fang Han's gaze gradually softened, almost unlike his usual look: "Long time no see."
"I'm asking you—" Fang Nanxi's voice became heavier, as if she could no longer suppress the deep-seated resentment, letting out a beast-like growl: "Are you still worthy of me calling you brother!"
"Must I answer that question?" Fang Han lowered his voice, his tone becoming unfathomable: "Why don't we chat about old times?"
"I have nothing to talk about with you!" Fang Nanxi answered decisively: "You brought shame to the Family, disgraced the Family! There has never been such a scoundrel in our Family who would betray us and join the Stranger!"
Fang Han's face indeed looked very bad after being scolded by Fang Nanxi; a flicker of anger jumped in his eyes.
But he quickly calmed down.
The anger quickly extinguished, and the smile on his face grew wider: "Silly little sister, you can't say that. The Tianqi Divine Sect openly welcomes the arrival of the Stranger, why don't you go and scold them?"
"And I, I merely changed my nationality, immigrated, that's all."
"Furthermore, I am now the City Lord of Black Furnace City, possessing a city and being a regional overlord. Who can give me this honor? Is it you, or the country?"
Fang Nanxi was stunned for a long while, opening her mouth several times, but swallowing her words each time.
Fang Han pursued his own vanity and power.
And became a regional overlord.
Who would dare to imagine such a thing?
This is also a skill, damn it!
If it were anyone else, even with the blessing of an odd object, allowing them to transform into an Stranger, they might not be able to reach Fang Han's height.
It was like an Stranger becoming a provincial governor in the earth's surface world.
It was truly shocking.
But Fang Han's essence was betrayal.
Even if Fang Han became the overlord of the Central Continent, it still wouldn't change the essence of "betrayal."
He wasn't secretly assigned by the country to be an undercover agent.
He did it completely voluntarily!
Fang Han's voluntary choice was his freedom, but it was a disgrace to the Fang Family.
Others might not care, but the Fang Family had to!
This was why Fang Nanxi undertook this mission to the dungeon.
Fang Han's smile slowly faded at this point, and he continued: "So, my good sister, to lure me out from being a City Lord, you resorted to unscrupulous means, killed Ying Hong and others, and then set a trap for me, didn't you?"
Fang Han was no fool.
Initially, the scattered newspapers in the city must have been Fang Nanxi's doing.
But it wasn't her handiwork.
Fang Han knew his sister quite well; she didn't have the ability to distribute newspapers in the North of the city while ensuring she wasn't discovered by patrolling soldiers.
Someone must have been assisting her.
Fang Han's gaze shifted to Shen Bei, his eyebrows raised sharply, his face showing unconcealed ruthlessness: "Are you risking your life for my sister?"
Shen Bei's tone was like a joke, but his eyes were very serious: "The Fang Family is too poor to be worthy of me risking my life for them."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Fang Nanxi was stunned.
What did he say?
What kind of talk is that!
I gave you money!
Now you're saying this isn't about catching someone, this is about abandoning me?
Fang Nanxi was about to explode with anger.
Without Shen Bei's protection, she was less than a rookie in front of Fang Han.
No professional ethics at all!
Fang Han tilted his head, frowning imperceptibly: "Then I can understand that you're here to join the fun?"
"No."
Shen Bei's eyes gleamed with ferocity, letting out a malicious laugh, his hand moved incredibly fast, instantly seizing Fang Nanxi's neck and lifting her up: "I have a bad habit; I like to kill people's close Bloodline relatives in front of them to get a thrill. You don't mind, do you?"
"You, you, what are you doing!"
At this moment, Fang Nanxi was terrified, her expression and mood incredibly complex and bewildered, her hands grabbing Shen Bei's arm and constantly hitting it: "You're crazy! Let me go! Let me go quickly!"
Fang Nanxi truly didn't know what Shen Bei was going crazy about, completely unaware, he reached out to strangle her?
He got the wrong person!
If you have the guts, go strangle Fang Han!
At this moment, Fang Nanxi couldn't tell if Shen Bei was joking or being extremely serious.
But as the pressure on her neck grew, Fang Nanxi's face turned pale, her heart pounded frantically, almost suffocating.
Her graceful body also twisted abnormally, her pure face had turned into the terrifying, horrified, and even regretful look of a female ghost.
At this moment, Fang Han's eyes were filled with a strange light, watching Shen Bei suddenly grab Fang Nanxi, somewhat failing to understand what kind of move this was.
Aren't you two together?
"Why bother with the act?"
Fang Han spread his hands, as if he saw through it: "I think, you painstakingly lured me out; it certainly isn't to kill Fang Nanxi for me to see. That's meaningless. The Fang Family isn't all dead; couldn't you kill her directly in front of other Fang Family members to get your thrill? Just state your purpose directly."
Shen Bei clicked his tongue, threw Fang Nanxi aside, and chuckled: "An old Jianghu is indeed an old Jianghu. Well, if I say it, don't take offense."
Fang Han smiled silently: "I'm a narrow-minded person, so watch your words."
Shen Bei raised an eyebrow, narrow-minded? Interesting...
Shen Bei said bluntly: "Some things are worthless when placed in one spot, but if you move them, their utility can be quite high. What do you say?"
"Ha."
Fang Han immediately understood, looking at Shen Bei with a mocking and ruthless gaze: "You want my odd object mask, right?"
Shen Bei nodded.
"Are you planning to borrow it, take it, or steal it?"
"Take it, and you definitely won't give it." Shen Bei's tone was calm and cold, and he continued: "Borrow it, and you're afraid I won't return it."
Fang Han rubbed his nose and then mumbled, "Then you're planning to steal it."
"Actually, a better solution is..." Shen Bei offered a suggestion: "For example, you accidentally lost it, and I just happened to find it."
"But if you pick it up, how will I survive in the dungeon?" Fang Han asked playfully.
Shen Bei spread his hands: "Go back to where you belong."
"Haha." Fang Han threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter echoing. But the next second, his laughter suddenly stopped as if the power had been cut. He looked down at Shen Bei, his gaze like a venomous snake circling: "That's a good idea, but if you can make me president, you won't need to bend down to pick it up; I'll personally offer it to you, how about that?"
Shen Bei licked his lips: "I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing."
"So, I suggest you just take it," Fang Han said.
Shen Bei smiled with satisfaction, his smile somewhat sinister: "That's my first choice too."
At this moment, Fang Nanxi finally reacted.
All of Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan's goals were not to help her capture Fang Han.
Instead, they were eyeing Fang Han's odd object mask!
She wasn't some benefactor, but Shen Bei's hostage!
Damn it!
Fang Nanxi let out a weak, resentful sound: "Refund!"
Shen Bei tilted his head slightly, his gaze indifferent: "No refund."
"You—"
"What, are you going to help Fang Han deal with me?"
Fang Nanxi's eyebrows drooped at the remark.
Although she had been tricked by Shen Bei.
Helping Fang Han was impossible.
Not to mention her strength was as weak as a dog's, even if she truly had the strength, it would be impossible to help Fang Han!
Fang Han was already the disgrace of the Family; even with a Bloodline connection, his actions were unforgivable, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that justice should prevail over Family loyalty!
"Go wait over there."
Shen Bei waved his hand.
Fang Nanxi was extremely obedient, knowing that this was not a battle she could get involved in. Her life was important, so she retreated without a moment's hesitation.
Just as Fang Nanxi moved away.
Fang Han's entire body resonated, and his Origin Qi erupted.
In Shen Bei's eyes, the rapidly rising Aura stopped only when it reached the seventh rank!
Shen Bei gasped.
Seventh rank!
This is a bit tricky.
At the same time, he cursed Zhuang Bifan in his heart for not arriving yet.
There's no telling whose body they might have to collect.
"Even if you helped my sister get here, there could have been no enmity between us."
Fang Han's eyes were deep, as if reflecting towering mountains, and he said indifferently: "But you killed Ying Hong, cutting off my source of information, how hateful! And you want to steal my mask, even more laughable!"
"It's too late for you to run now!"
Shen Bei raised his chin, his True Qi surging, his Aura not inferior to Fang Han's: "I haven't killed a seventh-rank yet; I hope you can give me some fun."
"Fifth-rank..." Fang Han's mocking and disdainful expression couldn't help but show on his face: "How dare you speak such arrogant words!"
"Because I have people!"
As soon as Shen Bei finished speaking.
Zhuang Bifan, having received the message, finally arrived, quickly climbing out of the ditch.
He had thought the team he saw at the Black Furnace City gate was Fang Han.
But who would have thought this guy was as cunning as a dog, secretly sneaking out disguised as a commoner!
Fortunately, their plan was comprehensive, with one blocking each side, otherwise, they would have alerted him.
"What's the situation?" Zhuang Bifan asked Shen Bei, looking at the Stranger in front of him.
Shen Bei's answer was also straightforward: "The trash talk is over, the warm-up is complete, you can go straight in."
Zhuang Bifan's face was grim, his expression stern: "The things you've done... are quite a lot."
"Isn't this just setting the stage for you?" Shen Bei said shamelessly.
Zhuang Bifan said: "You were just shouting about fighting; I thought I'd come over and get to eat for free."
"Seventh-rank, Old Bi, do you really think I'm brainless?"
"Not showing off now?"
"I just want to quietly watch your performance."
Zhuang Bifan took a big step forward, his sixth-rank Aura erupting: "You go to the kids' table; I'll take him on alone!"
Fang Han's dull, brutal, and terrifying voice rang out, making people tremble just by hearing it: "Fifth-rank trash, sixth-rank waste... seeking death!"
