The boss stared in shock at the giant snake that had appeared in front of him.
He just sat there in a daze for a while before stuttering out, "You, this, how?"
He said all kinds of words, but he wasn't able to form a single complete sentence because he just couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.
He had been able to recognize the snake with a single glance because it was a sight that he couldn't be more familiar with. After all, he was the one that had caused most of the scars on the snake's body.
After taking a long time to finally come back to his senses, the boss finally said, "Sir mercenary, what is the meaning of this? We asked you to help us take care of the spirit beast that attacked our village and now you're bringing that spirit beast into the village? Do you not care about what others will think of the Mercenary Guild if this was known?"
Lin Fan just said with a smile, "Well, you know in your heart what you've done. There's no need for me to say anything, right?"
A chill ran down the spine of the boss again. He had wanted to say something, but as soon as the words came to his mouth, they became stuck and he couldn't say a thing. With no other choice, he could only swallow those words before shouting out, "All of you, what are you standing in a daze for?"
The other bandits had just been standing there in a daze after the snake had appeared.
Well, it wasn't right to call it a daze with the looks of fear in their eyes.
They could also recognize this snake with a single glance since it was a scene that had appeared in their nightmares before. All of them had lost comrades to this snake before with how many times they've attacked it, so this snake was like a nightmare to them.
But the boss' roar shook them out of their daze.
The boss also saw this and kept roaring out at them, "If you want to live, raise your weapons and attack this god damn snake! If you don't want to live, then I'll kill you myself if you try to run!"
The fear that they felt towards the boss overcame the fear that they had for the snake.
With a roar from one person, all of the bandits started surrounding and charging the snake. It was just too bad that there was a difference in power between the two sides.
The Fire Eyed Snake was in the Second Qi Gathering Realm while most of these bandits were mortals or in the Pseudo Qi Gathering Realm. Not to mention that the Fire Eyed Snake was a spirit beast, so its body was already much stronger than these bandits.
The only reason that the bandits had been able to hurt it before was because they had been using their traps and other things to kite it around, so that it couldn't hit them directly.
Now that it was able to hit them directly, these bandits couldn't even take a single hit from the Fire Eyed Snake before crumpling to the ground.
While the Fire Eyed Snake went on a rampage, Lin Fan's attention was on the boss of the bandits.
The boss also knew that Lin Fan wasn't someone to be looked down on, so he had also drawn his weapons and was currently facing him. However, he could tell that Lin Fan was much stronger than him, so he knew that his only way to survive would be to find some way to trick him.
With this thought in mind, the boss said, "Sir mercenary, is there really a need to go this far? As long as you're willing to spare me, I can give you whatever you want."
Lin Fan revealed an interested look as he said, "Oh, what can you offer me then?"
The boss' eyes lit up, as if he saw a bit of hope. He quickly said, "Anything, anything. As long as you desire it, I can give you anything that I have."
While saying this, his hand was secretly moving inside of the chest of his coat.
Before he had left for the bar, he had taken a bottle of that poison that the village chief had shown him previously. He didn't take it for any reason, he had just taken it because he thought that it might be useful in the future.
But he never thought that it would have a chance to be useful this soon.
As he was stalling Lin Fan by talking, the boss slowly pulled out the bottle and took off the cap as he prepared to throw it at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan acted like he was thinking about it for a bit which the boss took advantage of, preparing to throw the bottle of poison at him. However, Lin Fan suddenly said, "But I want you to die? Can you give me that?"
The boss was stunned when he heard this and his hand holding the bottle of poison stopped.
Lin Fan took advantage of this momentary daze to shoot out a little icicle from the tip of his finger which was currently pointing at the boss.
The icicle pierced right through the hand of the boss and through the bottle of poison that he had been holding, scattering it all over him.
The boss roared out in pain with the icicle piercing his hand, but he cared more about the fact that the poison had been scattered. It was just too bad that he had reacted late to this and had already breathed in a large mouthful of the poison.
It didn't take long before the effects of the poison started showing up in his body, with black veins making their way to his face along with frothing at the mouth.
The last thing he did was look at Lin Fan with a look of hatred as he asked, "How?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he watched the boss fall down in front of him.
It wasn't that hard for Lin Fan to notice that the boss had been reaching for something. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that it couldn't have been a good thing, so he didn't hesitate to shoot the icicle at it.
He never would have thought that it was poison.
After all, Lin Fan wanted the boss to die a painful death for everything that he had done and for the things that he had wanted to do.
He had wanted to lay his hands on Lala and Xiao Yue, he wanted to touch Lin Fan's bottom line. So naturally Lin Fan had wanted him to die the death that he had deserved and not this quick death by poison.
But it was already too late and Lin Fan couldn't do anything about it, so he just accepted it for what it was.
He didn't even bother looking at the boss' corpse anymore as he turned his attention to the bandits that were scattered all over the bar.
Many of them were already unconscious or dead on the ground after being slapped down by the Fire Eyed Snake's tail. The rest that were still standing looked like they were about to collapse, as if they didn't even have the power to hold their weapons anymore.
Seeing this, Lin Fan said to the Fire Eyed Snake, "Alright, that's enough."
The Fire Eyed Snake clearly had an unwilling look in its eyes as it looked at Lin Fan, but Lin Fan still called out the portal to the Pet Storage Space for it.
The bandits were completely shocked to see this as they didn't understand why Lin Fan did this. However, they didn't dare underestimate Lin Fan since he was able to control that powerful snake.
Not to mention that their boss was dead, so they really didn't know what to do since these bandits lacked instructions with the death of their leader.
Lin Fan just walked over to the door and opened it to let the men of the village in.
The men of the village were shocked by what they saw, but then they were filled with energy when Lin Fan said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
The bandits were just shocked as they watched the men of the village charging at them with their weapons in hand.
There were some bandits that were still stronger than these men from the village, but when they tried to fight back, they found that there was an icicle that suddenly flew through the air. That icicle pierced right through their hand and forced them to drop their weapon, to allow the men of the village beat them up with their pitchforks and other tools.
It didn't take long for the men of the village to beat up all the bandits, especially since they had Lin Fan helping them. Lin Fan shot out icicles at all the bandits that were in the Pseudo Qi Gathering Realm, stopping them from being able to fight back, which allowed the men of the village to beat them up.
After a few minutes, the fight was over.
The men of the village looked at the bandits that were lying all over the ground before looking down at their own hands. After a moment of silence, all of them dropped their weapons and broke out in cheers.
They had done it, they had taken back their village!
But at the same time, they felt a trace of sadness...
If they knew that it was this easy, then why did they suffer for so long for?
However, that didn't last long since they all knew that the reason that it had been so easy was because of Lin Fan. If it wasn't for him taking care of most of the bandits, it would have been very unlikely that they could have taken care of these bandits.
So they turned to look at Lin Fan with looks of gratitude and worship, but they found that Lin Fan had already disappeared from the bar.
