Chapter 1574 - 1572: I’ll Do My Best to Save Every Lost One, Do My Best!
Lin Fan looked at Qiu Xi’s conflicted expression and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.
He understood well.
When these refugees knelt to Lan Zhengqing again, they had already become enemies, enemies that had to be struck!
This was the last thing Qiu Xi wanted to see.
Logically speaking.
All refugees should support each other, share hardships together. After all, they were all the lowest class of the Five Elements Realm, they should unite and stand against the outside world.
Their lives were already so difficult.
If internal strife occurred among them, it would make the refugees’ days even harder.
However.
They now had to face such a divided situation.
Qiu Xi chose Lin Fan, while most refugees chose Lan Zhengqing.
Thus they formed opposing factions.
Eventually, it will lead to a major conflict!
Qiu Xi had always been protecting all the refugees, trying not to let them die, not to let them get hurt, and hoped that under Lin Fan’s leadership, these refugees could truly be recognized and accepted by everyone, to stand proudly on the land of the Five Elements Realm.
Yet.
This ultimately was just a beautiful vision.
After all, each refugee was an individual, not all sharing the same mind, each had their own thoughts. Qiu Xi’s thoughts they wouldn’t accept, and Qiu Xi wouldn’t accept their opposite.
Therefore.
Naturally, they split apart, even if their common thought was to survive, to live with dignity. But their paths in pursuit were different, inevitably causing divisions.
Fighting was a forced choice.
"Qiu Xi, I know you don’t want to fight. But given the current situation, I have to strike. To protect you, I have to break my promise, I’m sorry." Lin Fan, holding the Xuanyuan Sword, looked coldly at Qiu Xi.
"You don’t need to apologize to me... Although I’m very sad, extremely sad. Seeing brothers killing each other makes me feel very uncomfortable. But I know if you don’t act, I won’t survive, and neither will you. There is no other way. It’s only the blame that Lan Zhengqing’s persuasion is too powerful, tricking these brothers and sisters completely, and they still don’t know they’ve fallen for Lan Zhengqing’s trick."
Qiu Xi said, looking mournfully at the group of refugees, sighed helplessly and shook her head.
"There’s no way out, since we have to fight, we can’t sit back without striking back. Lin Fan brother, it’s hard work for you."
"Why speak of hard work. Coming back to save you was my idea, no matter what it will never change. But since some want to attack and kill you, I absolutely disagree! Rest assured, I’ll be careful not to deal a heavy hand to these deluded refugees. Because I know they are all confused by Lan Zhengqing’s flowery words, led by fear, just trying to survive, not really wanting to work for Lan Zhengqing."
Lin Fan said with a smile, displaying great confidence.
"Therefore, I try not to kill them, but I must let them suffer a bit."
Qiu Xi was momentarily stunned, never imagining that in such a crisis, Lin Fan would actually consider her thoughts, promising not to be heavy-handed on refugees to prevent her heartache.
She was completely stunned!
Her heart was pounding, as if a fawn was bouncing around inside.
Not just because Lin Fan’s words touched her, but also because of the courage to make such a promise.
It must be noted.
His opponent is none other than the formidable Lan Zhengqing!
Though he lost an arm, he remained a unique demon, Lan Zhengqing!
Lin Fan fighting with such a demon is already a tough matter, yet he still intends to distinguish between Lan Zhengqing and the refugees.
The breathing within his body needs to be controlled with extreme precision, releasing and withholding at will, to make such words a reality, which means Lin Fan has to spend more energy to discern, to control.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying indeed!
Qiu Xi watched Lin Fan with unblinking eyes, who exactly was he, and how much energy was he hiding.
Such outspoken words, too arrogant, too demonic!
Unknowingly.
Qiu Xi was left staring, her cheeks involuntarily flushed crimson.
Lin Fan gave Qiu Xi a slight smile without saying anything more.
Since it was a promise to Qiu Xi, he absolutely had to fulfill it!
Originally, he didn’t want to harm these refugees, but they brought trouble upon themselves, jumping side to side, leaving others baffled.
Ultimately, they bowed to Lan Zhengqing.
Since that’s the case!
Let them taste the bitterness of defeat, otherwise they won’t remember today’s situation, must make them never forget for a lifetime!
Lin Fan, holding the Residual Abyss Sword, stepped forward a bit, twisting his neck, making a crunching sound.
"Bring it on."
He coldly stared at Lan Zhengqing, speaking in a low hoarse voice.
"Lin Fan, I’ve knelt and apologized, doesn’t that mean I should get my arm back."
Lan Zhengqing completely ignored Lin Fan’s words, staring unblinkingly at the severed arm, speaking leisurely.
He seemed to have entered a state of madness.
In his eyes only the severed arm, nothing else.
Even Lin Fan, he disregarded, only thinking of reclaiming his severed arm.
"Arm?"
Lin Fan looked at the severed arm in his hand, raising an eyebrow.
Anyway, Lan Zhengqing was already furious and unlikely to surpass his current limits, might as well continue teasing him, letting him taste pain.
"I’m afraid this arm can’t be given back to you yet."
"What?! You... say it again!"
Lan Zhengqing thought he hadn’t heard correctly, eyes widened inquiring.
"No doubt, you heard me right. I said this arm cannot be temporarily returned to you."
"Lin Fan, what do you mean?!"
"I mean nothing. Just now when you knelt and apologized, I was indeed considering handing it over, but you should never have acted again, that I can’t bear. Was your apology sincere? Apparently not! Just now, what did I say, I said if you sincerely, earnestly apologize to Qiu Xi, I would return your arm. But now you haven’t done so, how can I give it to you, I must keep my word. As one should do, just because you’re a Middle Heavenly Venerate doesn’t mean you can oppress others. There’s no such logic, I, Lin Fan, don’t buy into it!"
Lin Xiao spoke vigorously, what he said indeed had some reason.
Lan Zhengqing unexpectedly acted, catching him off guard, almost causing harm to Qiu Xi.
Moreover.
The final right of explanation lay in his hands, he found it disrespectful, then it’s disrespectful, he found it insincere, then it indeed is insincere!
Therefore.
He had countless reasons to refuse Lan Zhengqing’s request.
This is also the retribution Lan Zhengqing deserved, for having attacked a woman, especially with such severity, almost killing Qiu Xi.
A proper lesson must be taught to this bastard!
To ensure he never dares lay a hand on a woman again!
