"I advise you not to be too overconfident."

"No matter how fast you are or how strong your martial arts are, you are still just flesh and blood. Bullets don't have eyes!"

Jiang Chengzu shouted loudly, gripping his pistol tightly in his right hand and pointing it at Chen Yun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huangfu Dou distanced himself from Chen Yun and stood behind Jiang Chengzu.

In terms of martial arts skills, he was no match for Chen Yun.

Even the flying sword he had painstakingly refined was easily manipulated by Chen Yun.

He is now truly at his wit's end.

"Master Huangfu, you must not be careless this time."

"The best way to deal with such an arrogant person is to kill them outright, as a warning to others!"

Jiang Chengzu became smug when he saw Huangfu Dou standing guard beside him.

"Young Master Jiang, one should be lenient when one can."

"Let's leave it at that for today. We can settle this score later!"

Huangfu Dou was not a fool like Jiang Chengzu. He knew that Chen Yun was capable and that it was better to leave than to continue entangled with him.

"Ha, come and go as you please? There's no such thing as an easy life in this world."

Chen Yun gave a cold laugh.

His figure was as swift as the wind, and his steps were as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Huangfu Dou.

"Young man, don't push your luck!"

Huangfu Dou's face turned cold, and he thrust out his long sword.

The chilling sword energy, like a river flowing backward, pierced towards Chen Yun's chest with unparalleled sharpness.

This time, Huangfu Dou did not overestimate himself. He abandoned the flashy but impractical sword control techniques and directly unleashed his killing sword moves.

"Is this all you have?"

Chen Yun chuckled lightly, slightly turned his body, and easily dodged the sword.

At the same time, his fingers lightly tapped the blade of the sword as if skimming the water.

Instantly, a tremendous shockwave spread throughout the entire sword.

Huangfu Dou felt a tremor in his hand, and before he could react, the Cloud Rainbow Sword was already in Chen Yun's hand.

"you wanna die!"

When Jiang Chengzu saw Chen Yun charging towards him, he immediately raised his gun and fired.

"Bang bang bang!"

The black muzzle flashed, and bullets were fired continuously.

But Jiang Chengzu only felt a chill run down his spine.

Chen Yun in front of him seemed to be able to predict the trajectory of the bullets as they left the barrel, easily dodging them every time.

The others present were no longer surprised by Chen Yun's extraordinary reaction ability.

Jiang Chengzu, however, looked like he had seen a ghost and instinctively wanted to fire again.

Chen Yun's eyes turned cold, and he swung his sword from a distance.

"Zheng!"

A sharp sword light flashed by, and then calm returned.

"I thought you were so amazing, but it turns out you were just bluffing!"

Jiang Chengzu was unharmed. After a moment of stunned silence, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he reached out and pulled the trigger.

"Kara..."

The next second, his pupils suddenly dilated.

The pistol in his hand was shattered in two, just like a block of tofu.

What horrified him even more was that his body was like a fountain, with fresh blood constantly gushing out.

"What...what's going on?!" Jiang Chengzu roared in frustration.

"Just sending you on your way," Chen Yun said indifferently.

"If you kill me, the Jiang family will never forgive you..."

As his blood continued to drain from his body, Jiang Chengzu's breath grew weaker and weaker.

He looked at Huangfu Dou and cried out in desperation, "Master, save me!"

"Young Master Jiang, this old Taoist priest is powerless to help you. Rest in peace!"

Huangfu Dou was barely able to protect himself, so naturally he had no time or inclination to care about Jiang Chengzu.

"thump!"

Jiang Chengzu collapsed in despair and died.

He couldn't believe until his death that Chen Yun actually dared to kill him.

“Master Chen, although the Jiang family is not considered very powerful, they are still a prominent and wealthy family.”

"With Jiang Chengzu dead, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble!"

Zhao Tianwei frowned and said, "In my opinion, we should kill all of them."

"Anyway, all the people at the foot of this mountain are mine. Even if the Jiang family investigates, I can just blame it on the strange beast guarding the spiritual vein."

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

Cutting down the weeds without eradicating the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows!

If other people are left, they will only become a major disaster.

"If you, Master Chen, are unwilling to do it yourself, I can do it for you!"

A murderous intent flashed in Qi Qiang's eyes, this纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled, dissolute

With Jiang Chengzu dead, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Chen Yun.

The lives of these people can be used as a pledge of loyalty to him!

"I killed Jiang Chengzu because he tried to kill me twice. As for the others... let them go!" Chen Yun waved his hand casually.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for sparing my life!"

The group of men in black that Jiang Chengzu brought with him immediately got up from the ground and rushed down the mountain.

Zhao Tianwei never intended to kill them; the reason they pretended to be dead was because they didn't want to lose their lives in vain.

Now that there's a chance to escape, can't he continue to play dead?

If Chen Yun changes his mind at the last minute, pretending to be dead will turn into waiting to die!

"Oh, right, here's your sword back!"

Chen Yun looked at Huangfu Dou and swung his long sword.

This seemingly casual toss sent the Cloud Rainbow Sword perfectly into the scabbard on Huangfu Dou's back.

However, to Chen Yun's surprise, Huangfu Dou did not leave, but stood still.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to avenge Young Master Jiang?" Chen Yun asked, frowning slightly.

“Master Chen, you are joking. I am merely a guest of the Jiang family, not yet at the point of working for them.”

Huangfu Dou chuckled, "However, with Jiang Chengzu's death, I will inevitably be implicated to some extent. Therefore, this old Taoist priest is shamelessly asking Master Chen for some protection."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun immediately burst into laughter.

This old guy's calculations are really sharp and precise.

"We're not related, why should I agree to your request?" Chen Yun asked with a smile.

"This……"

Huangfu Dou originally thought Chen Yun would readily agree, but he didn't expect that this man wouldn't even give him the slightest bit of face.

"You may be a god-like figure in the eyes of those businessmen in the Jiang family, but to me, you are nothing more than a dispensable existence."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want my protection, you'd better think about what you can offer first!"

After Chen Yun finished speaking, he walked directly down the mountain.

Zhao Tianwei followed closely behind, leaving only Huangfu Dou on the mountaintop.

"Master Chen, please wait!"

"If you are willing to take me in, I promise to serve you for six months."

"For the next six months, you're at my beck and call!"

Just as Chen Yun and the others reached the halfway point of the mountain, Huangfu Dou hurriedly caught up with them.

After much deliberation, the Taoist master finally compromised.

Chen Yun nodded slightly, indicating his tacit approval.

Although Huangfu Dou's combat strength is not as great as that of a martial arts master, his Taoist skills are quite remarkable, making him a good helper.

After tempering its sharpness, keeping it by your side might still be useful.
