Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting-Chapter 45: Executing Han Qian

When he got home, Wei Fan packed a bag of items and headed out again. Inside were none other than the secret manuals he had obtained before and some gold and silver.

Heading to Su City to join the Demon Suppression Bureau, who knows when he’ll be back, so naturally, he wanted to leave some things for his sister’s family.

Recently, he had done many things for Yun City, but had also offended many people, so he hadn’t contacted his sister’s family. Now that those enemies were either dead or captured, he had no such concerns.

After a while, a small courtyard appeared before him, even less refined than the one he lived in.

His brother-in-law’s family wasn’t a wealthy one, just a regular family making a living through craftsmanship.

"Uncle! Hold me!"

As soon as he stepped through the door, his nephew came running, and Wei Fan immediately bent down to pick him up.

"Little Fan, why have you come!"

Hearing the commotion, his sister and brother-in-law came out too.

"I came to see you!"

Holding his nephew, Wei Fan walked inside and sat down, casually putting down the bag he brought, and soon the siblings were chatting about everyday matters.

They talked late into the night, after explaining his move to the Demon Suppression Bureau and the items he brought, Wei Fan finally got up to leave.

...

"He came!"

"As soon as he opens the door, I’ll strike with my saber. Even if he’s an Acupoint Opening Fifth Level expert, he’ll still meet his end!"

"Kill him and leave Yun City overnight, catch up to Han Bai and the others, even if the Demon Suppression Bureau comes themselves, they won’t trace it back to me."

Han Qian stood behind the gate of Wei Fan’s courtyard, holding his breath, quietly waiting for that moment when Wei Fan would open the door.

Based on the intel he gathered, Wei Fan’s combat power was around the Acupoint Opening Third Layer, while he himself was at the Fourth Level of Acupoint Opening, confident he could strike down an Acupoint Opening Fifth Level expert with a surprise attack.

"Hmm? The footsteps stopped, did he find me?"

He noticed the approaching footsteps from afar stopped near the gate, not advancing to open it.

"Come out, trying to ambush me from behind the door?"

Just as he was uncertain and surprised, a calm voice came from the other side of the door.

"How did he discover me? Is he bluffing?"

When Han Qian was still hesitant to believe his ambush had been uncovered, the energy outside began to surge.

At that moment, he realized the other truly discovered him. If he didn’t come out, the other would break down the door.

"Very alert, you actually found me, but I’m curious. Since you realized I was here, why didn’t you use the opportunity to attack me?"

Han Qian opened the door to see Wei Fan standing not far away, one hand pressed on the saber’s hilt, no surprise on his face.

Wei Fan shook his head: "Because I don’t want to have to fix my door tomorrow."

He gazed at the masked figure before him, noting on the panel:

[Han Qian: Fourth Layer Acupoint Opening, Murderous for treasure, indiscriminate killing]

[Killed, yields 40 years of power]

Wei Fan preferred killing Demon Fiends because they provided more power.

This masked man named Han Qian was at the Acupoint Opening Fourth Layer, similar in level to Old Bear’s Fourth Grade of the True Realm, but while Old Bear provided 160 years of power, Han Qian only 40.

A flash of surprise passed through the only visible eye of Han Qian. He didn’t expect Wei Fan avoided ambushing out of concern for damaging his door: "So you’re confident, belief you can kill me without an ambush!"

"Tell me your origins, why you’re here to kill me, and I can make it quick!"

Wei Fan wasn’t in a rush to act.

A Fourth Layer Acupoint Opening expert, in a small place like Yun City, was virtually unheard of, average families couldn’t afford to keep such an expert.

Such an individual coming to assassinate him, it was best to get clarity on the situation, understand Han Qian’s background, and if there were other enemies, eliminate them together.

"Young people are truly arrogant. Killing a few Demon Fiends in an undeveloped place like this and they truly think they’re invincible?"

He confirmed the man before him was indeed the Arrest Officer Wei Fan; his arrogance was as reported.

Han Qian immediately said: "No more talk, I’ll send you on your way. Remember not to be so arrogant next time!"

With a flick of his treasure saber, he stepped forward, unleashing a blade of Sword Qi at Wei Fan.

Before the Sword Qi arrived, a chilling cold spread everywhere, the air temperature plummeting as if winter had descended.

Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged, his palm suddenly swelled, an indistinct roar sounded from his body, he straight up shattered Han Qian’s Sword Qi with one slap.

"Barehanded stopped Sword Qi?"

Han Qian’s eyes almost popped, was his body made of iron?

His Sword Qi didn’t even break the other’s skin, only left some ice crystals on his hand.

Wasn’t Wei Fan’s strongest technique the Dragon Roar Heaven-Shattering Finger? How did he become a Body Refining expert?

In an instant, Han Qian realized the intel he received was completely incorrect.

"Is this all you’ve got? I thought you’d be tough, not even as strong as that Old Bear outside the city."

Wei Fan moved swiftly as lightning, didn’t even draw his saber, he swiftly stepped forward with another palm strike.

Giant Bear Palm wasn’t weak, as the only True Intent Martial Arts he mastered, this technique was among his top killer moves, but Old Bear’s strength was greater, his physique terrifying, making the Giant Bear Palm seem weak in comparison.

In a flash, a boom reverberated through the air, terrifying pressure akin to Mount Tai crushing down directly at Han Qian.

"True Intent Martial Arts, Horizontal Training Palm Technique!"

Han Qian’s pupils contracted violently, huge roars echoed through the night, as if witnessing an enraged bear.

His treasured saber forcefully retrieved, he chopped towards the incoming giant palm.

In the darkness, the glaring Sword Aura nearly solidified, instantly striking the approaching palm.

This strike was even stronger than the previous one.

Clang!

A heavy boom echoed, Han Qian felt as if he struck a massive mountain coming straight at him; in an instant, the Sword Aura shattered, his tiger’s mouth split, the treasure saber was knocked out of his hand, nearly slicing his own head off.

"That was close!"

He broke into a cold sweat; if not for his Protective True Qi deflecting the blade, he’d have been killed by his own saber.

"He’s a monster, escape!"

In almost a moment, he abandoned the idea of killing Wei Fan to avenge City Lord Pan. Their strengths weren’t on the same level, the fierce, unstoppable power, the body seeming fine as steel, he didn’t even have the qualification to breach defense.

Yet, before he could act out that thought, the hand which had just knocked away his saber forcefully shattered his Protective True Qi, grabbing his throat.

"Ugh..."

The suffocating sensation, along with the neck’s immense pain from almost being snapped, made him involuntarily utter a pained sound.

"Now! Tell me why you’re here to kill me?"

Wei Fan swiftly removed the black cloth, seeing a middle-aged face in shock.

"Don’t even think about it, if you’re capable, kill me, someone will avenge me!"

Han Qian felt he could breathe again but didn’t relent amidst the fear.

Wei Fan showed a kindly smile: "No rush to kill you, didn’t you want someone to avenge you? What if they don’t? Tell me who sent you; I’ll find them, ensuring someone avenges you, isn’t that right?"

Sounds quite reasonable!

Hesitation flickered momentarily on Han Qian’s face but soon vanished: "Dream on!"

That was close, almost got tricked into revealing my identity.
