Chapter 3 - You Don't Know, You Might Be The One Who's Dead By The Next Morning

Knock!

Knock!

Knock!

"Come out here, Fan Huan! Pay the fucking rent that you owe me!" The angry voice shouted behind the door.

Fan Huan stood up after opening his eyes from his cultivation as a smirk was planted in his face. He had always hated this landlord, and in his last life, he wasn't able to kill him but now, he's dead as fuck.

"Coming!" He walks towards the door while his foot silently made steps on the floor. On his right side was his kitchen, a very small kitchen. He had a small cabinet there and some cheap kitchen equipment.

He took the knife from the sink silently and hid it behind his back as he opened the door.

The door revealed an old man. He had grey hair, black eyes, and he is wearing a red hand. The old man is obviously quite wealthy from the jewelry he is wearing on his neck.

Fan Huan greeted the old man with a smile and ask, "Old man Cao, what are you doing here?"

The old man grunted and replied, "You know what I'm here for, where is the rent for this month?"

Fan Huan continued smiling and said, "Of course, of course, I got your rent. Come inside and I will take out my rent."

"Alright, I'll come inside, " The old man said while taking off his flippers and he pushes Fan Huan aside as he entered Fan Huan's small house.

Fan Huan just kept smiling, even though the old man pushed him aside in his own house but deep inside, his rage meter was skyrocketing.

As the landlord walks around of what small space he has on the house, Fan Huan silently gripped the knife in his left hand tightly before he uses his Qi to sharpen it even more.

As he moves slowly towards the old man's back, the old man turned around and said, "Hmm, what's takin-" Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Huan cut off his entire arm clean off with the Qi sharpened knife he is holding.

"Aaa-" The old man tried to scream but Fan Huan gave him no chance and he shot his right hand towards the old man's neck before the lifted him up.

Fan Huan raised his head to face the old man. He looks at the old man's eyes with his cold black eyes and said, "You know, I have always hated you. And I'm quite unreasonably when I hate someone, so die."

"No- argh!" *crack* The old man tried to beg him for forgiveness but with a simple grip of his hand, he cracked the old man's neck without any remorse in his eyes.

Since the old man was nothing but a mortal, he was killed almost immediately by Fan Huan.

Fan Huan tightened his grip on the old man's neck even more and the old man's neck exploded into chunks of meat before the body fell off the ground and the head rolled off to a nearby corner.

"You worthless old goat, angering a devil, like me, was one of your terrible mistakes, " Fan Huan said with disdain coming off his voice.

Fan Huan uses his Qi to get rid of the blood in his left hand and said, "It seems like I would have to get rid of this house. My lightning element should do the job."

Elements, these are the special powers given to special cultivators by the heavens. Cultivators need to practice these powers for it to grow stronger. Like, previously with Fan Huan, when he used the thunder coming from the heavens to kill that righteous cultivator, that was a sign of extreme mastery towards his element.

Lightning crackles through his left hand as he shot it towards a flammable object, like the wooden chair near him, and he fried the corpse of the old man to the point it was unrecognizable, so no evidence would be left.

"Now, I don't need to worry about the rent anymore. Hahaha, " Fan Huan laughed crazily as he walks out the door of his small house and headed towards the marketplace to buy some hunting equipment.

*******

(-Few Hours Later-)

A small house was on fire and the people crowded around it as they whispered to each other.

"Hey, isn't that where the Patriarch's trash kid lives?"

"Yeah, maybe he caught up on fire and died inside."

"Hmph, if he wanted to die he should've made it silently. What a brat!"

As they talk trash about Fan Huan, they didn't notice a shadow appearing behind them. The shadow grabs their shoulders and they jumped up from getting spook.

"You know, you shouldn't say someone is dead when they are clearly alive. You don't know, you might be the one who's dead by the next morning. " Fan Huan said menacingly behind them.
