Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Mercenary leader: "This...this arrow seems to be coming towards me. Could it have missed?"

Mercenary leader: "Damn it, we've fallen for their trap!"

Mercenary henchman: "Ouch~ That hurts!" x2

Iron Flame Rhinoceros: "Roar~~~"

Enraged by the two arrows that pierced his stomach and shoulder before he could dodge, the mercenary leader roared at Lu Yunshi, disregarding the danger around him.

"What are you doing!?"

"I'm helping out, what else could I be doing?" Lu Yunshi spread his hands, looking completely innocent, but the smile on his lips was impossible to hide. The mercenary leader naturally noticed this as well, and he widened his eyes, saying in disbelief.

"You...you betrayed me?"

Lu Yunshi chuckled. "Who knows? You guess."

"I bet you're a son of a bitch!!!" the mercenary leader roared.

"Don't be like that, you're already very good, at least compared to that guy over there."

Lu Yunshi smiled slightly and looked to the side of the mercenary leader. There was a mercenary underling who had been shot in the chest and was already lifeless. Next to him was the mercenary leader, who had arrows in both wrists but dared not show it and just wanted to recover as quickly as possible. Not far away was Tie Yanxi, who had been shot in the face with three arrows and was swaying his body, seemingly a little dizzy.

What Lu Yunshi was referring to was the brother of the mercenary leader who had been shot in the stomach and then received a "jackpot" from Lu Yunshi, having been shot in the groin.

The man lay on the ground, blood flowing continuously. His eyes were wide open as if they were about to pop out, but the pain from his lower body made him unable to speak. He could only feel the pain his dead brother had brought him and his own life slipping away in his dying moments.

Seeing his brother in such a miserable state, the mercenary leader swallowed hard, unable to bear watching any longer. When he turned to look at Lu Yun, he felt a deep chill.

"You're a real devil."

"Is that a compliment?" Lu Yunshi asked with a smile.

"Ha! I don't know if it's a compliment, but I know you're about to die. I told you before, the only fate of a traitor is death!"

The mercenary leader, his eyes bloodshot, used all his strength to pull out the two silver arrows from his body, wanting to kill Lu Yunshi immediately to avenge himself.

He didn't want the Purple Cloud Vine anymore, he didn't want anything else, he just wanted this little bastard to die.

"I might die, but not now."

Faced with this rage, Lu Yunshi remained extremely calm. As soon as he finished speaking, the Iron Flame Rhino suddenly let out a frenzied roar, and the flames in its body became more than twice as large as before, even scalding its own internal organs.

The injuries it had just sustained made this wild beast sense a deadly danger. Even if it meant inflicting heavy losses on both sides, it began to unleash its power recklessly, determined to annihilate all the enemies before it.

The terrifying aura enveloped everyone, causing even the mercenary leader, who had only taken a few steps, to stop in fright.

"run!"

The mercenary leader and all the other survivors had only one thought at this moment: in their current state, they would definitely not have a good ending facing the enraged Iron Flame Rhino. The only option now was to run away; if they fought head-on, the probability of death was too high.

As for Lu Yunshi?

That little bastard can be dealt with later, or even not at all; Tie Yanxi will take care of him himself.

But at that moment, the three mercenaries present suddenly found that their bodies had become extremely weak.

"The Five-Spice Tendon-Softening Powder was painstakingly crafted by Uncle Li from the east of the city. It has the effect of softening tendons and numbing the body for cultivators, but it is not very effective for cultivators who absorb spiritual energy. After all, they can forcefully break through the effects of the medicine by relying on their spiritual energy, but given your current state, it may not be so easy," Lu Yunshi said to the three with a smile.

"When?"

The mercenary leader gritted his teeth and asked, but perhaps because his body was unable to move, the fragrance that had been lingering in the air, which they had always ignored, was finally noticed.

He searched for the source of the fragrance and finally fixed his gaze on the iron arrows that Lu Yunshi had shot but never hit. If you looked closely at the tail of the iron arrow, you could see a small hole.

“Compared to medicine, these special arrows are much more expensive, but they are more deceptive and can be very useful in certain situations,” Lu Yunshi said again, answering the three mercenaries’ last question.

The iron arrow he used was not picked up from the crossbowman, but a specially made iron arrow with grooves, specifically for carrying medicine.

"Haha...you f***ing..."

The mercenary leader laughed in fury, but before he could finish speaking, the Iron Flame Rhino charged forward in extreme rage. Its sharp horn pierced his heart, and the rising flames burned him beyond recognition, leaving him with no chance of survival.

Then, Tie Yanxi, breathing heavily, stepped towards the remaining two.

Within a few breaths, the mercenaries who had just been locked in a fierce battle with Tie Yanxi were all killed, and Tie Yanxi turned his attention to the last man.

"So I really can't do anything with you. You're so thick-skinned, you can't die. The medicine isn't very effective on you either, but you probably can't kill me today."

Lu Yunshi finished speaking with a touch of mischief, and then ran directly towards the location where Lu Yunxi and the other two were.

The distance between the two sides wasn't short, but it wasn't far either; it only took about ten seconds to get there.

"Senior sister, save me!!!" Lu Yunshi, who was about to be hit by Tie Yanxi, saw that Senior Sister Li was only a dozen meters away from him and immediately shouted for help.

Hearing Lu Yunshi's cry for help, the three people who were fighting with the water frog were all stunned for a moment. Lu Yunxi frowned, gripped her sword and looked at Lu Yunshi. She took a slight step, but saw that Senior Sister Li had already taken the initiative to block Lu Yunshi.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and Blastoise seized the opportunity to slap her with its tongue, causing her to fall heavily to the ground.

"Miss Lu!" Zhang Quan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, only to see the water burrito turn back to him. The mercenaries who had been assigned to harass Lu Yunxi and her two companions had also realized that their leader was dead. After thinking for a moment, they dared not stay any longer and took the opportunity to flee.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister, for saving my life!" Lu Yunshi patted his chest, looking like he was still in shock as he thanked Senior Sister Li.

Senior Sister Li's usually docile face was now contorted with rage as she braced herself against the sharp horn of the Iron Flame Rhino with her hammer. She dared not utter a single word of thanks to Lu Yunshi, fearing that if she uttered even one, she would dissipate her power and be pierced through in an instant.

Two seconds later, Lu Yunshi glanced at Zhang Quan, who was fighting fiercely with the Water Frog, and then looked at Senior Sister Li in front of him before suddenly speaking.
