God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me

"Ah! I'm going to kill you..."

Jiang Xiuming looked at the dust on the ground. Ye Fan had actually used Crimson Flame, burning his teacher to ashes right before his eyes.

Damn it!

The key was that his teacher, for reasons unknown, had even forbidden him to seek revenge, and furthermore, had ordered the elimination of all the men Prince Jin had planted within the Vermilion Bird Iron Battalion, clearing the path for Ye Fan?

Among those names, many were Jiang Xiuming's brothers in life and death!

Had they also turned to Prince Jin?

A multitude of sorrowful emotions all weighed heavily on Jiang Xiuming's heart, and at that moment, he was on the verge of collapse. As a member of the Great Xia Military, why not just dutifully serve? Why bother with these petty power struggles, which benefited Great Xia in no way?

When one attack failed to make an impact, Jiang Xiuming once again channeled his Martial Arts Qi Force and slashed at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan casually swiped with his hand, sending Jiang Xiuming flying and tumbling on the ground, "Stop wasting your effort. You're no match for me! Don't force me to kill you!"

Thump thump thump!

Stubborn as he was, Jiang Xiuming didn't believe in superstitions and charged repeatedly more than a dozen times, his mouth bloody from being beaten, his body a total mess. But the gap in strength couldn't be filled by rage. Frustrated to madness, Jiang Xiuming turned to the calmly standing Hou Tianji beside him and complained somewhat angrily, "Elder Hou, didn't you say you would definitely stand up for me?"

"You just saw with your own eyes that Xu Wandao, one of the Four Great War Kings of the Vermilion Bird, was killed by Ye Fan. Don't you plan to do something?" Jiang Xiuming, utterly spiritless from Ye Fan's beatings and obviously no match for a direct confrontation with Ye Fan, could only turn to Hou Tianji for help.

Hou Tianji, with a smile on his face, looked at Jiang Xiuming and said, "I saw it! But Young Master Ye must have his reasons for what he did... Your teacher made such a choice, surely he had his reasons too! Let's let the bullets fly for a while. This old man will give you an explanation in the end!"

"..." Hearing Hou Tianji's words, Jiang Xiuming felt the urge to bite into him, this damned old man always spoke so infuriatingly leisurely.

The reason for his teacher's choice to meet death, Jiang Xiuming already knew, was due to the coercion of Prince Jin.

So fundamentally speaking, even if it weren't Ye Fan causing trouble today, but another Yang Fan or Li Fan, his teacher wouldn't have resisted; he would have used this opportunity to seek death.

But even though he understood the reasoning, Jiang Xiuming emotionally couldn't accept it.

He clearly couldn't win in a fight!

But to let Jiang Xiuming let go of Ye Fan, it wouldn't be that easy!

If he couldn't beat him head-on, but after all, he was also at the peak of a Martial Venerable's strength, there should always be a chance for an assassination, right?

Hmph!

Starting today, I'll do nothing else but focus on killing you... and make your life a living hell!

"Ye Fan, just wait! I'll definitely kill you and avenge my teacher... You better not sleep at night!" Jiang Xiuming snorted coldly, got up from the ground, and swiftly left towards the outskirts of the camp.

"Young Master Jiang, please don't act impulsively! Everything should be for the sake of Great Xia. Now that Commander Xu is dead, I hope you won't do anything rash!" Hou Tianji watched the direction Jiang Xiuming was heading and cautioned him.

After Jiang Xiuming left, only Hou Tianji and Ye Fan remained at the scene.

"Elder Hou, thank you!" Ye Fan bowed slightly to Hou Tianji. Tonight's operation went so smoothly without any resistance, he understood all the reasons why.

On one hand, it was indeed because Xu Wandao had sought his own death and had all his defenses removed.

On the other hand, it was naturally because of Hou Tianji's deliberate indulgence. Hou Tianji appearing together with Jiang Xiuming naturally meant that those eight thousand Martial Warriors that belonged to Jiang Xiuming must have been stopped by Elder Hou.

Hou Tianji waved his hand and said, "Young Master Ye, no need to thank me! Sigh... it was a move of desperation, I was hoping to break the deadlock through you! If I hadn't taken such a drastic measure, the entire Vermilion Bird Domain would have lost control... Now with the death of Xu Wandao and Wu Shihao, the stalemate has finally been broken. It's just that the command of these three hundred thousand Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry, the Token is still unknown, to truly take control is somewhat troublesome..."

Ye Fan smiled faintly and took out the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry Token from his hand and handed it to Hou Tianji, "Elder Hou, is this the token you're talking about?"

Hou Tianji took the token and looked at it, his complexion suddenly shifted when he saw the dark pattern on it, "This... Young Master Ye, how come you have Commander Xu Wandao's Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry Token? Could it be...?"

Hou Tianji's face changed again, contemplating a possibility. Could it be that Xu Wandao had entrusted the three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry to Ye Fan?

Ye Fan nodded, "Yes! Xu Wandao confessed everything to me. He was forced to defect to Prince Jin and has been waiting for a chance to find a way out for the three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry. He gave me the token, and he will also issue orders for all the Iron Cavalry to obey me!"

Pausing for a moment, Ye Fan continued, "However, I'm now the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Region, and I have the Tianlong Army behind me. So, I think it's better to return this Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry Token to Elder Hou!"

Sigh!

Hou Tianji let out a long sigh, shaking his head bitterly, "I would like to take the token back... but the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry is an independent force; they only take orders from Xu Wandao. Since Xu Wandao has already made arrangements, forcibly taking away the token might lead to more complications. Young Master Ye, you keep the token... find an opportunity to formally transfer command..."

Hou Tianji felt a bit depressed. He had thought that after Ye Fan killed Xu Wandao tonight, the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry would come back under his control, but he hadn't expected Xu Wandao's move to be so grand, directly entrusting the three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry to Ye Fan.

In this way, the power of the Ye Family would climb another step.

But no matter what, it would be better for Ye Fan to control the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry than for Prince Jin to do so.

Ye Fan did not decline, he put the token away and glanced in the direction Jiang Xiuming had left. A formal transfer of command would probably require some tactics to deal with Jiang Xiuming... But Ye Fan still had a trump card!

Xu Wandao had been replaced by Ye Fan in a classic bait-and-switch, with a Puppet Corpse taking his place, hidden inside an earthmover.

What would Jiang Xiuming's reaction be if he discovered that his master was not dead?

...

Jiang Xiuming left with a face full of gloom and sorrow, reviewing the letter his teacher had left him on his way back.

His death had nothing to do with Ye Fan; his teacher chose to die! Death was a release!

He was instructed not to seek revenge for his teacher, to do everything for Great Xia, and to ensure the stability of the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry!

The Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry Token had already been given to Ye Fan, and he was ordered to purge those who had been planted by Prince Jin overnight and then announce his teacher's decision...

Damn it!

Why? Why had it come to this?

In Jiang Xiuming's heart, his teacher was like a father, always upright and putting his country first. Why had he gotten involved with Prince Jin?

For Great Xia! For Great Xia!

Stubborn as Jiang Xiuming was, he knew his teacher was right. If he didn't eliminate Prince Jin's plants among them, the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry would surely fall into internal strife!

"Ye Fan... I will never let you go! My actions are not for you; they are for Great Xia, for Great Xia. I'll endure you for two more hours, Laotzu. Once I've handled things here, I'm coming to kill you..."

After Jiang Xiuming reunited with his eight thousand Military Martial men, he ordered someone to remove the gag from the mouth of Xu Wandao's Deputy Commander and handed him a list, "Chief Qi, could you please inform the people on this list to assemble at my headquarters immediately? Let's join forces to kill Ye Fan and avenge our teacher!"

Chief Qi's expression froze for a moment, but as soon as he saw the list Jiang Xiuming handed him, a smile flashed across his face...

Commander Xu really hadn't misjudged him!
