"Bufan, did you break his legs, or did you break his hands?"
Chen Bufan smiled. "Don't ask too much. In any case, he won't come to harass you anymore."
"Alright. What about Sisi?" Jiang Yurou asked.
"She's in the car outside," Chen Bufan said.
Just then, Canglong walked over in a brisk stride.
"Master, are you alright?"
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Sisi?" Chen Bufan frowned.
"I had my men watch her, but I was worried something might happen to you and my sister-in-law, so I came to check," Canglong said.
"You think something could happen to me?"
Canglong offered an awkward smile. Indeed, with the Master's strength, how many people in this world could possibly harm him?
Boom, boom!!
Right at that moment, a violent roaring sound suddenly came from the street outside.
Oh no!
As if sensing something, Chen Bufan quickly headed downstairs.
They rushed outside, only to see a sedan speeding away at an incredible pace toward the far end of the street.
It was the exact car he had ridden in.
Sisi was still inside!
Chapter 18: Wrath Igniting the Night Sky!
"Is this how you have your men watch things?" Chen Bufan asked angrily.
"What happened?" Canglong demanded of his subordinates.
"Reporting to King Canglong, a moment ago someone claimed to be Ms. Jiang's friend and went to the car to check on Sisi. Who would have thought that the moment he got in, he'd drive the car right away?" The subordinate looked deeply remorseful.
"You bunch of idiots!" Canglong was furious.
"Master, it's all my fault for handling this poorly..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go after them!" Chen Bufan shouted.
Canglong resolutely led his men in pursuit.
"Bufan, could Sisi be in danger?" Jiang Yurou was extremely worried.
"Don't be afraid, she'll definitely be fine. I'll send you back first. By the time we get home, Canglong might have already brought Sisi back," Chen Bufan comforted her.
Even after arriving home and waiting for an hour, there was still no news at all. Jiang Yurou grew more and more anxious.
"Bufan, do you think Supervisor Bai is having people retaliate against us?"
"Impossible," Chen Bufan said. With the person already gone, what was there to retaliate for? Besides, Supervisor Bai was just a small fry. From the way the culprit drove off with Sisi, the objective was extremely clear; it didn't look like the work of an ordinary person.
It wasn't until midnight that Canglong finally returned.
"Did you find her?" Jiang Yurou asked hurriedly, while Chen Bufan also stared fixedly at Canglong.
Canglong dropped directly to his knees. "I'm sorry, Master, Sister-in-law. It's all my fault for failing my duty and losing Sisi. We still haven't found her!"
Hearing this news, Jiang Yurou lost her footing and burst into tears. "What are we going to do if something happens to Sisi..."
"Yurou, don't overthink it. She'll definitely be safe." Chen Bufan was anxious inside, but he could only force himself to remain calm.
"Buzz, buzz~~"
At that moment, Jiang Yurou's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a video call.
It might be related to Sisi!
She quickly answered. On the screen appeared a young woman with exquisite makeup and a cold, arrogant expression.
"I'm looking for Chen Bufan."
Jiang Yurou turned to glance at Chen Bufan. "It's for you."
Chen Bufan stepped into the camera's view. When he saw the woman on the screen, a chilling frost instantly welled up in his eyes.
"Chen Bufan, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you in this way."
Han Feiyun!
Han Lie's daughter. Years ago, when he married into the Han family, it was as Han Feiyun's husband.
Past events rushed back to his mind, and Chen Bufan's gaze grew even colder.
"Did you snatch Sisi?"
"We're old acquaintances meeting again, shouldn't you greet me first?" Han Feiyun's demeanor was arrogant.
"Answer me, did you snatch Sisi?" Chen Bufan pressed, his tone heavy.
"Chen Bufan, you're nothing more than a dog. What qualifications do you have to speak to me in this tone?" Han Feiyun flared up. "I want you to call me master right now and apologize for your attitude just now!"
"Han Feiyun, answer my question!" Chen Bufan's gaze looked like it could eat people.
"You won't obey? Then let me show you a gift."
The camera angle shifted, suddenly pointing at an iron cage. Inside that iron cage, a little girl was imprisoned, her face etched with terror.
"Sisi!" Chen Bufan cried out urgently. It really was Han Feiyun who had snatched her! This bitch had actually imprisoned his daughter in a cage—she was simply outrageous!
"Little thing, your dad was nothing more than a dog in my house back then. How about you be a dog from now on too?" Han Feiyun squatted down and patted Sisi's head with her hand.
"My dad is a great hero, you aren't allowed to scold my daddy!" Sisi shouted stubbornly.
"Ha ha, a great hero? More like a big bear!" Han Feiyun laughed wantonly, pinching Sisi hard on the cheek until it turned bright red.
"If you have any issues, come at me! Don't bully my daughter!" Chen Bufan's eyes were bloodshot; he wished he could fly to her side immediately and tear Han Feiyun into eight pieces.
"As you wish. Before twelve o'clock tomorrow, I want you, Chen Bufan, to come to the gates of my Han family, kneel down, bark like a dog a hundred times, and then say a hundred times that you were wrong. Otherwise, your daughter..."
On the screen, Han Feiyun's expression turned extremely evil.
"I'm warning you, if Sisi loses even a single hair, I will make you, Han Feiyun, and everyone in the Han family pay with your lives!!" Chen Bufan roared.
The murderous intent radiating from him could be felt right through the screen!
"Then we'll see if you come tomorrow or not, ha ha!!" Han Feiyun laughed triumphantly.
The video feed then disconnected.
"Han Feiyun, you bitch!" Chen Bufan gritted his teeth.
"Bufan, what is your relationship with this woman? Why is she doing this?" Jiang Yurou asked.
"There's no time right now. Later on, I will definitely explain everything clearly to you!" Chen Bufan soothed her.
"Chen Bufan, even now, you're still this stubborn? I've said all along that the Han family wouldn't let this go, and now they've gone and snatched Sisi. Tell me what we're supposed to do!" Jiang Yurou said in agony. The thought of Sisi being abused twisted her heart like a knife!
That was her daughter, and she was actually being locked in a cage by people—how was she supposed to get through the night?!
Chen Bufan took a deep breath. How could he not worry about Sisi?
This was his only daughter, who had waited for him a full three years, sending over a thousand text messages and folding countless paper cranes, all just to see him once.
And now, she was being abused like a dog by people. At this thought, Chen Bufan's heart was bleeding!
"Yurou, please trust me one last time. I will definitely bring Sisi back and make sure she comes to no harm!" With that, Chen Bufan took Canglong and walked straight out the door.
"I'll give the Han family three days to think about it. Since they want to die early, let's let them live one day less!" Chen Bufan said ruthlessly.
"Canglong!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"By my command, mobilize all available resources without regard to cost to trace the vehicle's information! In addition, assemble a detachment of men and come with me to Han Lie's house!" Chen Bufan quickly issued his orders.
"Understood!" Canglong nodded and immediately sprang into action.
On this very night, countless God of War Temple members lying dormant in the shadows of Liyang once again launched a massive mobilization.
A hunt targeting the Han family had thoroughly sounded its horn!
Chen Bufan swore that this time, he would completely erase the Han family from Liyang and make them history!
Major government departments in Liyang were originally resting, but right at this moment, they suddenly received a certain order, held emergency meetings overnight, and immediately mobilized resources from all sides to launch a special operation.
Some petty police precincts thought they were cracking some major case, but upon finally learning it was just about finding vehicle information, they were all utterly shocked.
At the same time, several sedans simultaneously arrived in front of a villa—it was Han Lie's home.
Countless men in black stepped out of the cars, numbering as many as several thousand, their momentum soaring to the heavens!
"What are you guys doing?" the Han family guards asked in alarm.
"Executing justice on behalf of heaven!"
A cold voice rang out as Chen Bufan stepped out from the crowd, his god-like posture overwhelming the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Search this place thoroughly! Don't let a single place slip by!"
Accompanied by this order, thousands of people poured into the Han family estate, searching virtually every nook and cranny.
"Reporting to the Master, your daughter was not found, and Han Lie and his daughter are not here either," a subordinate reported.
A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Bufan's eyes. Just as he had anticipated, they weren't here, which was why he had split his forces in two and let Canglong continue tracking the vehicle's information.
"Sisi, just where are you..." Chen Bufan felt a surge of anxiety.
"Master, we have a lead!" At that moment, Canglong called.
"Through our screening, we've found the vehicle's trail and confirmed your daughter's location."
"That's great!" Chen Bufan said excitedly.
"Keep your eyes on the target! I'm bringing my men right over!"
In an instant, Chen Bufan led his men away.
Right after the main force departed, the entire Han family estate was subjected to a bloodbath, and a massive fire consumed the luxurious mansion, resembling the flames of wrath in Chen Bufan's heart as they burned across the night sky.
"No need to wait until tomorrow, Han Feiyun. I've come for you!"
Chapter 19: An Overwhelming Force Descends Like an Avalanche!
In the suburbs of Liyang, beneath a wild mountain, stood an abandoned factory overgrown with weeds.
At this moment, the perimeter of the factory was crowded with men in suits patrolling back and forth, guarding the area very strictly.
Inside the factory, Han Feiyun had no desire to sleep and was still riding a wave of excitement.
"Dad, just wait and see. Tomorrow, Chen Bufan will come to our front door, kneel down, and beg for forgiveness. I want everyone in Liyang to know that he is nothing more than a useless dog who can only bow his head before our Han family. After humiliating him, I'll kill his wife and child right in front of him and see what kind of expression he makes!"
"Feiyun, you really know how to get things done." Han Lie laughed heartily.
Since hiring people couldn't kill Chen Bufan, striking through the people around him truly was a brilliant strategy!
"I'm only worried about one thing right now—that Chen Bufan will find this place," Han Feiyun said.
"Feiyun, you can rest easy about that. This place has been abandoned for twenty or thirty years, and there's only a single narrow path leading outside, without even a single surveillance camera. Even if Chen Bufan called the police, he wouldn't find a single clue in two or three days. Besides, we've stationed so many people on guard; the slightest disturbance will be entirely under our control," Han Lie said with utter confidence.
"Then there's no problem," Han Feiyun said with satisfaction.
...
No one knew that amidst the night, tens of thousands of God of War Temple members were closing in on the factory from all directions.
Like a raging primeval torrent, they crossed mountains and ridges, demonstrating an ultra-high level of operational capability!
At the same time, a white-clad figure suddenly descended from the sky, arriving at the outer perimeter of the factory.
"Who goes there?" the sentry asked alertly.
"Chen Bufan!" the newcomer said coldly.
"What, Chen Bufan?" The sentry was greatly startled. Before he could even react, a cold flash swept past.
Bang!
The sentry instantly collapsed to the ground.
"Alarm, alarm! Someone has broken in!!"
Harsh horn alarms instantly blared around the factory. Everyone sprang into action, forming a squad of over a hundred men who rushed straight toward Chen Bufan to kill him.
Chen Bufan couldn't wait for the rest of the God of War Temple forces. Burning with anxiety and wielding a battle sword, he plunged straight into a bloody massacre.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
His cold sword danced as one person after another fell. In just a short moment, the ground was already paved with corpses.
Standing before him was only a single person. It wasn't that Chen Bufan refused to kill him, but rather that the man was so terrified he couldn't even move, trembling violently with a pale face!
Casting his gaze behind Chen Bufan, the man saw a pitch-black sea of people surging forward like ants. That peerless momentum shook souls to the core, scaring the man so badly that with a loud *clang*, he dropped the blade in his hands, buckled at the knees, and dropped to the ground to beg for mercy.
"What qualifications do you have to kneel to me!" Chen Bufan said coldly, bringing his long sword down in a slash.
"Splat!"
Before the man's knees even touched the ground, they were severed by a single sword strike. Like a wild horse that had lost its hooves, he pitched forward onto the ground and went off to see King Yama due to excessive blood loss.
"Seal off this place! Not a single one escapes!" Chen Bufan shouted.
"Understood!" ten thousand people roared, shaking the night sky.
In the eyes of each and every one of them surged an air of fanaticism!
They didn't even need to make a move; the Master had taken care of all the bodyguards by himself, wielding a sword technique so consummate it rivaled characters from martial arts novels!
To be able to witness this with their own eyes was the fortune of a lifetime!
Fighting completely single-handedly, Chen Bufan cut his way straight into the interior of the factory!
Deep within the factory at that moment, hearing the alarm ringing outside, Han Lie, Han Feiyun, and several Han family trusted aides all scrambled out of bed.
"Could Chen Bufan have really broken in?" This thought instantly popped into Han Lie's head. He pulled a firearm from his drawer and hurried outside.
Before he could even step out the door—
Bang!
A violent explosion resounded, shaking the place like an earthquake. Wooden panels and chunks of stone rained down in a clatter.
The entire massive iron gate, along with the wall, was instantly blasted to smithereens.
Scared out of his wits, Han Lie scrambled to find cover. Once he had calmed down just a fraction, he stared wide-eyed.
The oversized sheet-iron gate had been twisted into a pretzel.
Amidst billowing dust and smoke, a figure stood proudly, looking like the master of heaven and earth, supreme over all directions!
"Chen Bufan!" Han Lie screamed at the top of his lungs, feeling a rush of cold air plunge straight down his throat, turning his heart ice-cold.
He found it hard to believe that Chen Bufan had actually managed to find this place, and in such a short amount of time!
"I originally intended to give the entire Han family the chance to live one more day. Since you all want to die, I'll grant your wish right now!" Chen Bufan shouted coldly. A boundless aura swept outward, stirring up a ferocious gale on the scene.
"Is he even fucking human?" Han Lie was dumbfounded.
The momentum of a single man was no weaker than that of gods and demons; his anger could change the wind and clouds of heaven and earth—he simply wasn't a normal human being!
He suddenly realized that his previous lingering suspicion that there was an expert helping Chen Bufan meant that the so-called expert was probably Chen Bufan himself!
Four years later, the good-for-nothing had transformed into a dragon, completely different from before!
"Chen Bufan, it's even better that you've delivered yourself to our doorstep. We'll just settle things with you right here! Men, kill him!"
Yet after his shout died away, not a single person appeared.
"Stop shouting. All your subordinates have already gone to hell. If you want to live a little longer, tell me immediately: where is Sisi locked up?" Chen Bufan demanded, closing in on him.
"If you don't want your daughter to die, then you'd better obediently submit!" Han Lie said coldly. Across the entire Liyang, aside from Hall Master Xing Ao who could suppress him by a notch, he didn't take anyone else seriously.
"I'll ask one more time: where is Sisi locked up?" Chen Bufan's tone turned chillingly, frighteningly grim.
"If you want to know where your daughter is, honestly do as I say!" Han Lie assumed a lofty posture. Four years ago, Chen Bufan was just a live-in son-in-law in his household, subject to beating and scolding at will. Now he still wanted to step on his head? He should go take a piss and check who he was!
"If you won't talk, then go die!" Wielding his sharp sword, Chen Bufan strode forward.
The blade scraped along the ground, screeching as sparks flew wildly in all directions!
Han Lie's pupils constricted. The murderous aura on this kid was simply too dense; he was nothing like the Chen Bufan he knew.
"Chen Bufan, I order you to kneel! Take another step forward and I'll blow your brains out!" Han Lie picked up the firearm, cocking it with a sharp click as he took aim at Chen Bufan.
Unfazed, Chen Bufan kept walking forward, treating the firearm as if it were mere air.
"Go to hell!" Han Lie roared, fiercely pulling the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
A bullet instantly zipped out, flying straight toward Chen Bufan's head.
Swish! Chen Bufan raised his long sword with lightning speed.
"Clang!"
With a crisp sound, the bullet was instantly deflected away, and Chen Bufan remained completely unscathed.
Han Lie sucked in a sharp breath, completely scared out of his wits. A sharp sword could block bullets? What kind of monster was this fucking guy?
Unwilling to give up, he continued pulling the trigger.
"Rat-tat-tat!!"
Bullets fired out frantically.
"Ding, ding, ding!!!"
Crisp sounds rose in succession as every single bullet was parried by Chen Bufan with his sharp sword.
The thing in his hand didn't seem like a sword at all, but rather an indestructible shield.
"If this is the extent of your tricks, you can die now!" Chen Bufan had already reached him, raising his sharp sword.
"Chen Bufan, behind me stands the Kirin Hall, boasting five hundred blade-wielding elites who are invincible everywhere they go! If you dare to kill me, you will surely meet utter destruction!" Han Lie threatened. His bullets were spent, and he had no other trump cards left.
"Five hundred blade-wielding elites?" Hearing this, Chen Bufan threw his head back and laughed aloud.
"A mere five hundred people, and you want to dominate the region and cover the sky with one hand?"
"Bring out the troops!" Chen Bufan roared. The God of War Temple army, which had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward from the night, the entire ground rumbling and shaking beneath their feet!
At first, Han Lie didn't know what it was; he only heard the sound and felt his liver vibrate, as if a massive army of thousands was charging in to slaughter them.
His eyes locked firmly onto the distance!
The very next second, an endless sea of figures appeared, surging toward them like an avalanche, stretching so far the eye couldn't see the end.
Chapter 20: Unstoppable! Sisi, Your Great Hero Has Come!
"Oh my god..." Han Lie went crazy, every hair on his body standing on end.
"Who are all these people?"
"The God of War Temple Army!" Chen Bufan said coldly. "I wonder how they compare to the Kirin Hall's five hundred blade-wielding elites?"
"What? The God of War Temple Army?"
Hearing these words, Han Lie was struck as if by a thunderbolt; his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest!
Everyone in the world knew of the God of War Temple, boasting a million troops, sweeping across the realm, revered by a hundred nations, and renowned worldwide.
The Kirin Hall wasn't even qualified to be compared to the God of War Temple!
"The Demon God Army has returned, vowing to trample all darkness in this world. Wherever they pass, light shines brilliantly!"
His resolute words echoed through the nine heavens.
"Chen Bufan, just what kind of person are you?" Han Lie asked in a deep voice.
"The God of War Temple Master, Chen Bufan!"
With that, his sharp sword left its scabbard, tracing a cold flash of light as it instantly descended upon Han Lie's neck!
Splat!
The sword swept past, and blood sprayed outward.
Bang!
Han Lie collapsed straight to the ground, his pupils filled with boundless terror to their very depths. He never could have imagined that the former live-in son-in-law of the Han family had become the God of War Temple Master.
His eyes remained wide open in death, refusing to close in peace!
"Search with all your might!" Chen Bufan issued a swift command.
Countless members of the God of War Temple began moving into action, scouring every corner of the factory so thoroughly that not even a single fly would be allowed to escape.
Chen Bufan himself was moving as well. Only Han Lie had appeared; Han Feiyun was nowhere to be seen. This woman was extremely scheming, and she might have realized the tide was turning against them and transferred Sisi elsewhere.
He had to find her immediately, otherwise Sisi would be in danger!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!
Disregarding the sweat pouring from his head, Chen Bufan tore through room after room.
Where doors barred his entry, Chen Bufan raised his fist and punched straight through; the walls shattered instantly, making him look like a human bulldozer, violently unstoppable.
