Dao Qi Wu Zang Guan Guan: I became a Daoist Master in the 1990s

Chapter 37 Subjugation
As the vehicle braked suddenly and went out of control.

Qi Yun felt a powerful force slam into him from the side, and the seatbelt instantly dug into his flesh, causing a burning pain.

He was slammed against the car door with a dull thud, his head ringing loudly.

My vision spun, and the gray mountain scenery and damp tree shadows outside the window were a jumbled mess.

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Qi Yun was both shocked and furious, letting out a roar.

That crew-cut young man was no longer concerned with the steering wheel.

The seatbelt buckle had long since popped open, and the person lunged forward with a fierce momentum!
With hands like iron clamps, one hand twisted Qi Yun's arm, while the other pressed hard against his neck, trying to nail him to the seat!
"Stop talking nonsense! Behave yourself!"

The young man's eyes were bloodshot, he was panting heavily, and his strength was astonishing, far beyond that of an ordinary person.

He pressed down with all his weight, exuding a fierce, desperate energy.

Qi Yun's upper body was bound by the seatbelt, and he was pressed against the corner of the car door by this sudden brute force, making him unable to move for a moment.

He struggled fiercely, his arm muscles bulging, and the sound of leather rubbing together and the two men's heavy breathing filled the carriage.

"Let go! What the hell are you trying to do?! Are you out of your mind?! I didn't do anything!" Qi Yun roared, slamming his elbow into the other man's ribs.

The young man groaned in pain, but his grip tightened instead of loosening. He gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't do anything?! You were hurting people on the train in Guizhou Province yesterday, and now you're in Yunnan Province?"
Are you some kind of pangolin?! You're fast, aren't you?!

"God has mercy! You've fallen into my hands! Today I'm going to make sure you're brought to justice!"

The car went completely out of control on the slippery road, spinning around and the tires screaming as if they were about to die.

Finally, just before hitting a protruding rock on the shoulder of the road, it came to a sudden stop with a loud crash and stalled.

A wisp of white smoke rose from the hood, only to be extinguished by the cold rain.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Qi Yun finally seized a sliver of an opening!
His right hand darted to the seatbelt buckle with lightning speed, and with a crisp "click," the restraint was released! At the same time, his left hand forcefully pushed open the car door lock!
"Get out of the way!" Qi Yun roared, exerting force from his waist and abdomen, his entire body's strength suddenly released like a taut bowstring!

He used all his strength to lift it up hard!

The young man was struggling to stay upright when, caught off guard, he was thrown backward by the immense force, his back slamming heavily against the steering wheel, and the horn emitted a short, piercing screech.

Qi Yun seized the fleeting opportunity, slid out of the passenger seat, staggered a couple of steps, and stood in the cold rain.

The rain immediately soaked him from head to toe. He gasped for breath, his chest heaving violently, and pointed at the young man struggling to get up in the car, cursing loudly.

"You're insane! You're fucking insane! What the hell have I done to you?!"

He almost lost his life!

The young man straightened up, holding onto the car door, and shook his arm, which was sore from the impact. His face showed a mixture of shock and anger, but even more so, disbelief at Qi Yun's strength.

"A madman? Ha! You're even stronger than me! What are you pretending for now?!"

His eyes were sharp as knives, fixed on Qi Yun. "I've seen plenty of beasts like you! You're strong, huh? You like to train, huh?"

Before he finished speaking, his right hand flashed out to his lower back!
Qi Yun's pupils suddenly contracted!

A chilling sensation instantly shot from my tailbone to the top of my head, making all the hairs on my body stand on end!

With a flick of his wrist, the young man produced a dark, metallic pistol that gleamed with a cold, hard metallic sheen!
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at Qi Yun's head!
"Click!" The crisp sound of the safety latch being released was particularly jarring against the backdrop of the rain!
The sound of the gun being cocked was like a death knell!
The young man's movements were swift and fluid, happening in the blink of an eye!

His face wore a cold smile that was a mixture of anger, vigilance, and a sense of control, and the muzzle of his gun remained motionless.

"Run? Keep running! Why aren't you jumping around anymore? Hmm?"

Qi Yun froze on the spot, as if an invisible bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. All his anger, explanations, and sense of power were instantly crushed before this cold, metallic creation!

Crimson Hunting Fire? It can burn ghosts and destroy evil, but it can't stop this gun that can instantly pierce flesh and take lives!

As long as they are carbon-based life forms, they cannot fight against firearms!

The aura of death made all his muscles tense to the limit, and cold sweat mixed with rainwater streamed down his temples.

"Hands! Raise them! Slowly raise them!"

The young man shouted sharply, his voice carrying powerfully through the rain.

Qi Yun slowly raised his hands above his head, and rainwater flowed down his arms into his sleeves, icy cold.

The young man slowly got out of the car, but the muzzle of his gun remained firmly aimed at Qi Yun the entire time.

With a soft clang, the young man pulled a pair of gleaming steel handcuffs from his pocket and tossed them onto the ground in front of Qi Yun.

"Cuff yourself! Right handcuff to left hand, no tricks! Hurry up!"

Qi Yun looked at the cold handcuffs, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty, as he tried to make a final defense.

"Comrade, listen to me, what happened last night really had nothing to do with me! I'm a victim too, I..."

"boom!!!"

A deafening gunshot suddenly rang out!

It drowned out the sound of the rain, creating echoes throughout the valley!
Qi Yun felt a scorching current almost brush past the sleeve of his right arm! The bullet struck the muddy ground a few meters behind him, splashing up a spray of muddy water!

The loud noise and the imminent threat of death sent a shiver down Qi Yun's spine, his heart nearly leaping out of his throat!
The rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

My ears were ringing, and all that remained were the echoes of gunfire and the monotonous sound of rain hitting the roof of the car.

The young man's eyes were as cold as ice, and the gun was still pointed steadily at Qi Yun. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable killing intent.

"Say one more word, and I'm not hitting thin air anymore! Cuff me!"

Qi Yun fell completely silent.

He slowly bent over, the cold rain running down his neck and into his back.

He picked up the handcuffs; the metal was icy cold to the touch. He did as instructed and cuffed his right hand to his left wrist. With a soft "click," the cold steel ring locked away his freedom.

The young man's tense nerves seemed to relax a little, but the gun barrel remained as steady as a rock.

He pointed the gun at the concrete curb by the roadside: "Go over there! Squat down! Put your hands behind your head! Turn your back to me! Don't move!"

Qi Yun did as instructed, walked to the curb, squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and completely exposed his wet back to the dark muzzle of the gun.

He could only hear the young man's footsteps as he walked back to the car through the puddles, followed by the sound of him opening the car door, pressing buttons on his mobile phone, and dialing.

"Yes, it's me! I ran into him on the street, and yes, I caught him!"

Right here! It's about ten kilometers west of Baihua County, along the provincial highway past Eagle's Beak!

That's right! It's him! Qi Yun, the one featured in the Nanjiang Daily!
Okay! Keep a close watch! Understood! We'll be waiting for you!
