When those Ninjas discovered the timed bombs!

In that instant, chaos erupted inside the entire Iga Ninja Clan, total internal mayhem. A few people managed to rush out, only to collapse under the bullets of Lin Fan and the others!

Lin Fan had said it already: tonight, not a single person leaves here alive. A man has to keep his word. What he wanted was to blow the entire Iga Ninja Clan to hell!

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

When the countdown hit zero…

Rumble! Rumble!

Earth‑shattering explosions boomed through the whole Iga Ninja Clan. One after another, black mushroom clouds shot up into the sky from within the clan grounds, flames roaring to the heavens!

With a full twenty timed bombs going off, you could imagine the power!

Buildings collapsed one after another, waves of blood‑curdling screams rang out!

Because all these buildings were wooden, once the timed bombs blew, the flames instantly ignited the rooms. The fire began to rage wildly, spreading fast, about to engulf the entire manor of the Iga Ninja Clan!

In this moment, the whole manor of the Iga Ninja Clan had already turned into a sea of fire!

Lin Fan watched the scene in front of him, not a trace of tension or discomfort on his face!

He'd seen this kind of thing way too many times already, long since used to it!

The ones who did look a bit unnatural at this sight were actually the members of the Battleaxe Mercenary Corps!

They'd witnessed plenty of big operations before, but a blaze swallowing a massive manor like this, practically wiping out an entire bloodline—this was something they'd never experienced!

"Boss! Reinforcements are coming up the mountain!"

At this moment, Lion came hurrying to Lin Fan's side to report.

Lin Fan nodded. It was all within his expectations, and he said to Lion, "Detonate the bombs we buried earlier."

"Got it!"

Lion grinned, face full of excitement, like he couldn't wait another second to see the bombs go off!

Rumble! Rumble!

Not long after, deafening explosions rumbled from the foot of the mountain. Lin Fan and the others had planted at least twenty bombs down there. The power of all of them going off together was obvious— the entire mountain seemed to tremble and sway!

The raging fire ignited the trees on the mountain, burning its way upward. Very soon, swaths of trees were set ablaze, the fire rampaging out of control!

Right after, Lin Fan said to Lion, "Lead everyone out. Once the members of the Battleaxe Mercenary Corps are clear, find a way to leave East Asia immediately!"

"Understood!" Lion nodded, and hurriedly relayed Lin Fan's orders!

After hearing the order, Shangxue Qingchuan instead furrowed her Willow Eyebrow, looking at Lin Fan in confusion. "Why aren't you leaving?"

"The fight isn't over. How could I leave now? You all go first. According to plan, we'll rendezvous at the old spot."

"But… if we withdraw, won't you be in serious danger?" Shangxue Qingchuan said anxiously.

"What, you still don't trust my strength?" Lin Fan gave a faint smile.

Shangxue Qingchuan opened her mouth, but just couldn't get the words "don't trust" out!

Back in that battle in Africa, Lin Fan was trapped alone on a mountain, surrounded by dozens of men. In the end, he single‑handedly cut down twenty or thirty of them and then successfully broke out!

That battle shook a lot of people to the core!

Then Lin Fan raised his voice to the people behind him. "Anyone see Iga Zuo'en escape?"

"No!"

Someone reported immediately!

"Nothing on our side either!"

Another person reported!

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Fan's mouth curled up in a strange arc!

He had long since mapped out the terrain of the entire Iga Ninja Clan. There were only three escape routes from where he was. Since Iga Zuo'en hadn't left through them, then he must still be inside the Iga Ninja Clan!

Besides, when Iga Zuo'en escaped earlier, Lin Fan was absolutely sure the man wasn't dead. As the Patriarch of a great clan, Iga Zuo'en definitely had backup plans!

After that, Lin Fan took a sniper rifle from a mercenary, slung it over his back, and said, "Withdraw!"

"Move out!"

Someone shouted!

Everyone stopped hesitating and quickly began retreating down the mountain.

"Boss, be careful!" Lion said worriedly.

"Relax," Lin Fan nodded.

Then Lin Fan couldn't help but turn and glance at Meina. Meina's lips moved a couple of times, as if she really wanted to say "be careful," but after hesitating for a long while, she still didn't get the words out. Instead, Lin Fan gave her a gentle smile.

Before long, Lion and the others, along with the members of the Battleaxe Mercenary Corps, had all withdrawn. Lin Fan felt not the slightest worry; instead, he inexplicably felt an immense sense of ease!

Alone, he could unleash himself and really fight a good battle!

Since he'd said he would wipe out the entire Iga Ninja Clan, as a man, he had to make good on it. Iga Zuo'en had to die!

Time flew by. At this moment, the eastern sky was already turning pale!

The fire had burned the whole night. By dawn, it still hadn't gone out completely, just died down a lot!

With a sniper rifle on his back, Lin Fan was sitting on a thick tree branch, his gaze sweeping like radar over the ash‑covered ruins that had been devoured by the flames. Black smoke billowed up into the sky, blotting out the sun! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Seven o'clock!

Daybreak had fully come!

Lin Fan focused even more, sharpening his senses. He knew it was about time for Iga Zuo'en to show himself!

Whup‑whup‑whup~

Just then, a roar of blades cutting the air drifted over. A helicopter appeared in the distant sky, circling above the ruins of the Iga Ninja Clan!

With Lin Fan's eyesight, he could clearly see a big man in East Asian military uniform standing at each of the open side doors of the chopper!

Right then, Lin Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed. From a pile of ruins within the Iga Ninja Clan, two figures abruptly emerged!

Four Ninjas were surrounding a disheveled man in a kimono at the center!

That man was none other than Iga Zuo'en!

Seeing the helicopter, Iga Zuo'en immediately let out a loud shout, and soon a rope ladder dropped down from the chopper!

Lin Fan didn't hesitate. He grabbed the sniper rifle from his back, swung the barrel around, and instantly aimed at Iga Zuo'en!

But the four Ninjas were wrapped tightly around Iga Zuo'en, completely blocking Lin Fan's line of sight. He had no clear shot!

That didn't rattle Lin Fan in the slightest. Without a word, he shifted his aim to one of the Ninjas and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The gunshot cracked out, unnervingly sharp!

The Ninja blocking in front of Iga Zuo'en didn't even know what had happened before he was already lying in a pool of blood, breath gone!

"We're under attack! Under attack!"

The remaining three Ninjas panicked on the spot, hastily shifting into a new formation to shield Iga Zuo'en, while Iga Zuo'en was so terrified he didn't even dare stick his head out!

This whole night had been a trip to hell for him; the fear in his heart still hadn't faded at all!

"Enemy at ten o'clock, on a tree branch!"

One of the big men on the helicopter shouted, swinging his weapon around fast!
