I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

Qin Feng's internal energy was almost exhausted. He couldn't turn around in time and was kicked in the chest by Xu Yan, causing him to roll down the mountain.

He struggled to his feet, his clothes and face covered in mud, ash, and scorch marks.

Xu Yan had already changed his appearance on the way.

After Qin Feng clearly saw the police uniform on his body, his voice was full of hostility.

"You're the Superintendent of Police? You dare lay a hand on me?"

After putting on the brass knuckles, Xu Yan didn't intend to waste any more words with Qin Feng.

Not only did his dereliction of duty cause the deaths of three hundred innocent people, but when trouble struck, he also tried to abandon everyone and run away alone.

What a distinguished scion of a prominent family!

They're worse than animals!

The two quickly began fighting in the woods.

It must be said that the Kaiyuan Realm is still the Kaiyuan Realm. Even with little internal energy left, it is not something that Xu Yan can easily deal with now.

Because his weapon had just been released, Qin Feng could only continuously parry and dodge Xu Yan's punches.

Finally, he seized an opening and punched Xu Yan in the chest.

Xu Yan did not dodge and took the punch head-on.

Wearing the golden silk armor and with the triple boost from the unity of heaven and man, Qin Feng's ordinary punch did not cause Xu Yan any pain.

He then mustered all his strength and returned the punch to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reacted extremely quickly, instinctively raising his palm to catch it.

However, the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply.

An unbearable pain shot through his palm, and his entire arm was jolted back against his chest.

The next instant, the force of the earth splitting and mountains collapsing erupted within his body.

Qin Feng spat a mouthful of blood onto Xu Yan's face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What...what kind of boxing style is this?"

After taking that punch, he was almost completely unable to fight anymore.

Qin Feng staggered back several steps, clutching his chest tightly. Looking at the panting Xu Yan, he shouted fiercely, "Stop! If you dare kill me, your whole family will die!"

"My family is all dead." Xu Yan looked at him coldly, showing no mercy, and punched Qin Feng in the face again.

Qin Feng's cheeks swelled rapidly, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.

"You...you lowly commoner...!"

"You're a lowly commoner, aren't you?"

Xu Yan threw another punch.

"..."

"Still cursing?"

Qin Feng soon fell silent.

He clung tightly to Xu Yan's clothes until his dying breath, refusing to beg for mercy, his curses continuing until the very last moment.

"You... damned wretch..."

Xu Yan released his grip and slowly stood up.

A series of hurried footsteps sounded behind me.

"Xu Yan?" Shen Shuangning's uncertain voice rang in her ears.

When she saw Xu Yan suddenly chasing after Qin Feng, she thought they were going to break out together.

So, after dealing with the bandits who were bothering her, she followed them all the way up.

Xu Yan reverted to his original appearance, panting heavily as he looked at Shen Shuangning.

The Kaiyuan Realm is still just the Kaiyuan Realm.

If Qin Feng hadn't been in a weakened state, and if Xu Yan hadn't raised "Breaking the Mountains and Rivers" to a minor level, they really wouldn't have been a match for him.

"You killed him?" Shen Shuangning frowned, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Shen Shuangning was so angry at Qin Feng's decision to order the execution of three hundred soldiers that she wanted to chop him in half with a knife.

What does this guy think human life is?

Shen Shuangning knew that Xu Yan and Qin Feng had some past grievances, but she didn't expect him to kill him directly.

But more importantly, Xu Yan was actually able to kill Qin Feng!

Shen Shuangning asked herself if she were to face Qin Feng, she probably wouldn't have even a 10% chance of winning.

Just how much more is this guy hiding?

Xu Yan didn't respond, and Shen Shuangning didn't press the matter. She simply sheathed her sword and said solemnly, "Let's leave here first."

She broke out alone, with no one following her.

Therefore, Shen Shuangning is the only eyewitness. As long as she doesn't speak, it will be difficult to trace Qin Feng's death back to Xu Yan.

Besides, tonight is just too chaotic.

The bandits' ambush was clearly pre-planned; there must have been a traitor among them.

This matter has already given the Qin family enough headaches for a while.

Xu Yan nodded and quickly walked down the mountain.

Although they had already escaped the ring of fire, thick smoke still lingered along the way.

In addition, they had exhausted too much internal energy in their fight with Qin Feng. If they did not leave soon, the medicinal properties of the Datura stramonium would eventually wear them down and leave them unconscious in the mountains.

When they arrived at a pool at the foot of the mountain, Xu Yan and Shen Shuangning encountered another group of people who had broken through the encirclement.

It was Ye Yuntang, and the Ye family, who knew she had secretly run away, and the assassins they planted.

By the time they realized something was wrong, they had already forcibly led Ye Yuntang out of the encirclement.

Unfortunately, two of them still died.

Two women, dressed in the uniform of the Superintendent of Police, watched the two men under the moonlight with wary expressions.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

After all, bandits can disguise themselves as government soldiers, so who knows if they might now be disguised as the police chief to wipe them out.

Just as the four were about to make their move, a soft voice rang out.

"I've seen them before; they're not bandits."

Ye Yuntang had met the two a few days ago and still remembered them, so she was fairly certain that they were not bandits in disguise.

She cooled herself down in the pool, and after getting a clear look at their faces, she explained on their behalf.

Because they had been rushed out of the ring of fire, they had burns all over their bodies and needed to cool down quickly.

Shen Shuangning and Xu Yan shared the same idea.

That's why the two groups of people met.

After confirming that the two men were also escaped officers from the police station, the two henchmen put away their knives.

However, just as they realized what Xu Yan was about to do, the two of them drew their knives again.

Xu Yan was too lazy to waste time with them. After defeating one of them, he took off his outer clothes and jumped into the pool.

After feeling the intense heat enveloping his body in the icy pool water, Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yuntang's expression changed. Because she needed to cool down and had no change of clothes, she was only wearing her undergarments. When she saw Xu Yan suddenly jump into the water, she instinctively crossed her arms in front of her chest underwater.

Xu Yan didn't look at her, only his head was exposed above the water. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and quickly circulated the "Sun and Moon Yin-Yang Technique" to restore his internal energy.

"Don't get in my way."

Shen Shuangning withdrew the knife she had been holding to the neck of another confidant, took off her outer garment, and also entered the pool.

She felt much more at ease than a woman from a prominent family like Ye Yuntang.

Anyway, it's not like that kid hasn't seen it before.

Seeing that the two were focused on cooling down and recovering their internal energy, Ye Yuntang hurriedly left the pool and quickly put on her clothes.

She then had her two confidants also go into the water.

The two men protected Ye Yuntang all the way, and were even more seriously injured than her.

However, when Ye Yuntang asked them to go into the water together, the two women were worried that the bandits might attack at any time, so they refused.

After exchanging a glance, one of them finally entered the water.

Before long, the group suppressed their burns and began to discuss how to leave the area.

Even now, from the foot of the mountain, you can still see the fire line on the mountain not far away.

Without a sudden downpour, the fire probably wouldn't have stopped for days.

To avoid being surrounded and attacked by bandits, the group decided to leave the area immediately.

However, since there was no antidote for the datura herb, and his internal energy was still being depleted, he could only find a secluded place and wait for the effects of the medicine to wear off before leaving the mountain.

Leaving the pool, the group finally found a wild animal's den before their inner strength was exhausted.

After eliminating the original owner, one of the assassins was still not at ease and asked to keep watch with Xu Yan.

Shen Shuangning and another assassin took turns recovering.

Xu Yan did not refuse.

While on watch, he felt the urge to relieve himself and headed into the woods.

However, as soon as he took off his pants, Xu Yan's urge to urinate suddenly disappeared.

A faint noise came from not far away.

"Croak..."

"Croak..."

That familiar voice...?

Gold-devouring beast?
