Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Looking at Chen Fan, whose combat power had suddenly increased, Ling Yun knew that he had finally broken through. It seemed that as the only chosen one in the world, it would not be easy to deal with him if he held back. This also laid the groundwork for his more cautious and decisive actions in the future.

Get your gun out?

No, how could a villain with extraordinary martial arts skills show weakness to a minor "protagonist" in a sub-world?

He silently picked up a branch from the ground, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, and smiled slightly: "Bringing you a knife is too much of a rip-off. If you can hold out against me for five minutes, I'll consider you the winner."

Wu Chifan laughed loudly, blood slowly flowing down from his head, but his face was contorted with rage, as if he felt no pain whatsoever.

"Five minutes? Perhaps you are more skilled in swordsmanship, but I will show you what it means to 'break through the void and see the indestructible god'!"

He crouched down and pounced like a cheetah, slashing a claw at Ling Yun's abdomen.

Looking at the claw mark shrouded in golden light, Ling Yun understood why the other masters regarded him as someone at the "Undying God" level; he did indeed seem somewhat similar.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. His breathing technique allowed him to maintain a stable breathing pattern in various environments, calm his mind, and remain unaffected by any external influences.

After Ling Yun added the "Sturdy" attribute to the tree branch, he gently swung it, and a blade of similar color flew out and collided with the claw mark.

Without any actual contact, a violent explosion erupted between the two, the gale ruffling Ling Yun and Wu Chifan's hair and clothes, and they each took a step back.

Wu Chifan looked solemn. He thought he would be invincible after reaching this level, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to gain an advantage against Ling Yun, who was only at the late stage of Gang Jin!

"There can only be one God in this world."

He let out a low shout and pounced again, each attack targeting vulnerable spots such as the throat, groin, and eyes, showing no mercy whatsoever, always adhering to his saying, "It's not just about determining superiority or inferiority, but also about deciding life and death."

Ling Yun remained calm and composed. With Xiao Na's help, his mastery of the Meteor Blade Technique was now comparable to that of true Qi cultivators who had practiced for decades thousands of years!

This bizarre, cunning, and powerful sword technique gradually drove Wu Chifan to despair, as he seemed to see the fall of the last "god" before him. Although that person died under gunfire, he could still empathize with the sword technique that far exceeded the scope of his understanding of traditional Chinese martial arts.

"You don't practice martial arts!"

After being knocked away by Ling Yun's tree branch, Wu Chifan rolled on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and his voice hoarse.

"Yes, you can think of it as a groundbreaking advancement. Of course, it's undeniable that my own strength is somewhat weaker than yours."

Ling Yun shook the branch a few times, and the bloodstains on it were all shaken off and fell to the ground without getting on him.

"How could that be? Martial arts... martial arts are the true essence of this world!"

"It's just a small world."

Ling Yun snorted coldly and rushed over again before this chosen one could ask a soul-searching question. He had a vague feeling that a new martial art would emerge when all the basic moves of the Meteor Blade Technique were combined!

It's a pity that his comprehension is still a bit lacking, but once he kills Chen Fan and plunders his "extraordinary comprehension", then everything will be fine.

Wu Chifan roared as he got up, seemingly wanting to put the final stroke on the national martial arts he had pursued all his life and for which his parents had sacrificed their lives.

The two crossed paths, the branch in Ling Yun's hand broke, and a thin line of blood appeared on Chen Fan's neck. The line then widened, and his head slowly fell off, just like his limp body.

Ling Yun patted the corner of his clothes and saw that pedestrians were drawn by the sounds of the two fighting and quickly disappeared into the alley.

When passersby saw the tragic death of Wu Chifan, they immediately let out a sharp, explosive scream and quickly dialed for help and emergency services.

When law enforcement arrived at the scene, fingerprint and facial recognition confirmed that the man was indeed fugitive Chen Fan! A forensic examination determined that his cause of death was a slit throat, and only a tree branch with unknown fingerprints was found at the scene…

This caused a huge uproar around the world, because after being tested by many masters of internal energy, it was discovered that Chen Fan had actually reached the legendary realm. Although his skin tissues and other parts were dead, they still maintained their activity until they completely subsided three days later, perfectly matching the "undying spirit" of the person who died under gunfire.

The fact that such a master could be killed with a tree branch can only mean that the opponent's strength was even greater than his!

Although there were no surveillance cameras in the alley, based on the footage captured by cameras along the way, it was finally determined that the hero who bravely killed the criminal was actually Ling Yun, the champion of the National Martial Arts Competition!

Ling Yun's reputation soared to an unprecedented peak, while he himself was enjoying the beautiful scenery and did not participate in the online discussion.

[Congratulations, Master, for capturing the seventh "protagonist" and gaining the "Extraordinary Comprehension" ability! The Villain's Heart has been upgraded to LV2, critical hit chance increased to 20%, and critical hit damage increased to 3-10 times!]

Ling Yun glanced at the tourists boating not far away, and the fans who recognized him and wanted to ask for his autograph. He smiled calmly, turned a corner, and chose to leave.

[Task completed, rating: Excellent]

[Reward: Spatial Ring upgraded to LV2, spatial capacity increased from 1 cubic kilometer to 10 cubic kilometers!]

[Remaining cooldown for the Multiverse Plunder: 7 days]

Expanding the storage space tenfold is not bad for Ling Yun. At least now he can throw away whatever he wants without having to worry about whether he can fit it in.

Shortly after he gained "extraordinary comprehension", a scene flashed through his mind, and then the Meteor Blade Technique improved from beginner to minor mastery, and he learned a new martial art - Meteor Slash.

Just as he was about to try his hand at it, the door to the room opened, and Su Jinyao walked in with a smile.

Chapter 163 New Famous Instrument

"My dear Xiaoyun, I'm here."

After locking the door, Su Jinyao quickly ran to Ling Yun's side and started discussing the Werewolf game with him.

Ling Yun's strength improved, and he also gained a new active martial skill, so he was naturally in an exceptionally good mood. Therefore, he also told her all the techniques of Werewolf.

When he played Werewolf before, although he acted as a referee, he only interacted with the rules and didn't delve into many details.

Looking at the beauty so close to him, Ling Yun decided to try something different and explore other paths.

..............................

..............................

..............................

Ling Yun rubbed his temples, never expecting that he would unexpectedly gain a new achievement and a famous artifact!

[Congratulations, Master, on achieving the "Jade Phoenix X" achievement! Your body has undergone a new mutation that can improve a woman's physique! Additionally, due to the collection of new rare artifacts, Ling Yaxuan and the other two women have received a power boost, currently at B level!]

Xiao Na's voice was as pleasant as ever, and Ling Yun realized that he had been blind to his own shortcomings.

That's true, Jade Phoenix X, it's not something you can obtain through normal means... How come I didn't think of that?

However, he had tried other methods as well, and none of them worked, so the probability wasn't particularly high.

Now there are only three famous treasures left to encounter. Half of my small goal has been achieved, not bad!

When he woke up the next day, Su Jinyao insisted on playing Werewolf before letting him go out. After having dinner with a group of women, she enthusiastically suggested going to the Qi family's swimming pool.

Su Guosheng naturally had no objections, but before leaving, he specifically instructed the three women in his family to seize the opportunity to spend more time with Ling Yun.

With so many women, it took four cars to fill them all. First, they went to a shop near the Qi family's house to buy suitable swimsuits, and then they went to the Qi family's house one after another.

Ling Yun didn't have much to do, so he changed into his swimsuit and took a lap around the pool. When he came out of the water, he saw a group of women walking over, all wearing swimsuits of different lengths but each one exceptionally beautiful.

All the women showed him their best side, including Tao Xin'er, who was engaged to him and was his nominal "fiancée" in front of various families.

"Ling Yun, you and Sister Xin'er have this kind of relationship? I had no idea!"

After Qi Jingjing jumped into the water, she hugged his arm and looked at Tao Xin'er, who was talking to other women not far away.

"It's like taking food from a wolf cub, but the wolf has already turned into a dog, so it will only become more obedient in the future."

Ling Yun smiled as he put his arm around Qi Jingjing's waist. Just as the girl was about to get intimate with him, Fu Xuehui walked over from the shore and waved to Ling Yun: "Xiao Yun, come help Auntie apply some sunscreen."

Although it was already October, the temperature in the capital was still very high, with the scorching sun hanging high in the sky. Lingyun pecked Qi Jingjing on the cheek before climbing ashore.

Applying sunscreen was just an excuse to get intimate with him...

Lunch was also eaten at the Qi family's house. The women worked together to prepare the food, with Fu Xuehui in charge of cooking and the other women helping out. They managed to prepare a large table of delicious dishes, and everyone ate happily. However, the women's legs were practically kicking each other under the table as they fought over Ling Yun.

"No, can you please eat in peace?"

Ling Yun glanced at the several long legs under the table and said speechlessly, "I just wanted to have a meal. Are you guys really that generous? How about we have a private match later, maybe play some Werewolf?"

Upon hearing this, all the women fell silent. After all, there was no one who could match him on their own for the time being. Su Jinyao had also paid the price for what she had done last night and this morning. She had been whining all morning and hadn't even gone swimming yet, having just been lying on the chair sunbathing.

After lunch, the women went back to their rooms for a nap, preparing to continue their fun swimming and chatting in the afternoon.

Ling Yun planned to take this opportunity to find Tao Xin'er and see if she could bring him a pleasant surprise.

Just then, a phone call came in, the voice sounding rushed and flustered.

"Ling Yun, help!"

"Jiang Ruyu? What's wrong? Don't panic, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

"Lingyun, I've been kidnapped, but I managed to escape in a hurry. I'm hiding in an abandoned house... Please, please save me! I'm so scared..."

"Don't worry, I'll call the police for you first..."

"Please don't call the police! They're nearby. I'm afraid if you call the police, they'll... they'll be desperate and do something rash. I'll really be in danger!"

"So you're saying it's not dangerous for me to go alone?"

Upon hearing Ling Yun's answer, Jiang Ruyu almost choked on her saliva, but she still quickly said, "Ling Yun, I'm really scared, please come quickly, okay?"

Ling Yun frowned slightly. Although Jiang Ruyu's voice was tearful and weak, which made him feel a little protective, the fact that a weak girl in the capital had been kidnapped and managed to escape seemed a bit too amateurish.

What is the picture?

Money? You might as well kidnap yourself.

Sex? After kidnapping her, they let a frail girl escape with her phone...

However, he still comforted her and finally decided to go and see for himself.

After getting into the car, Ling Yaxuan calmly said, "Boss, do you need me to go with you?"

"You stay in the shadows and cover for me."

Ling Yun leaned back in the passenger seat, watching the scenery rushing past the window, his doubts deepening.

Chapter 164 Kidnapping?

After Ling Yun arrived at the place Jiang Ruyu had mentioned, the other party refused to answer the phone, citing fear of being exposed.

From afar, Ling Yun saw several fierce-looking men searching for something. The dilapidated house that Jiang Ruyu described was also quite obvious. This was a remote rural area with few people.

"Keep an eye on the situation for me. If things get out of hand, we should use force to suppress the enemy. If we can avoid firing, we should."

After all, he was the one who had to step in this time. If the other party were shot and killed, dealing with the aftermath would be quite troublesome, and he didn't want to waste that time troubling others.

The car was parked in a secluded spot, and Ling Yun walked over naked, carrying nothing in his hands—though there were quite a few weapons in his ring.

"Hey, stop right there, where are you from?"

Several burly men saw Ling Yun approaching. It was too strange for such a handsome young man to appear in such a godforsaken place. They naturally knew that he was the "hero" that their young lady had called over the phone.

The group exchanged glances and, seeing that the other party was imposing and outwardly impeccable, decided to try to intimidate him to see if he would show any fear.

If they could truly consider the young lady's safety, it would be easier to explain to their boss.

Ling Yun used his X-ray vision to look around and actually saw Jiang Ruyu behind the door of that house.

The door wasn't thick, and Jiang Ruyu was peering through a small hole into it, so Ling Yun immediately understood.

Kidnapping? No, it's all an act for myself!

This Jiang Ruyu is really just bored and has nothing better to do!

Although those burly men looked fierce, their favorability towards him was actually "friendly"! No matter how strong his "handsome and dashing" effect was, it only prevented men from falling below "ordinary". This "friendly" was clearly their true attitude towards him.

Well, what else is there to say? We're all family.

"What do I do? Brother, I'm lost. I'd like to ask how to get to the nearest national highway."

Ling Yun walked over with a smile, behaving like a normal tourist.

"Lost?" The burly men were dumbfounded. Normal people would either walk away as soon as they saw them, or try to be a hero and rescue the damsel in distress. What kind of excuse is this "lost"?

"You're not a policeman who came here on some tip, are you?" A burly man, sensing something was wrong, tried to correct the situation.

"Hey." Ling Yun was too lazy to play anymore and shouted directly at Jiang Ruyu, "Hey Jiang, let the extras go. This is no fun."

Jiang Ruyu, standing behind the door, had a rosy complexion; she hadn't expected Ling Yun to have noticed!

However, she was also in a playful mood and wanted to see what kind of person Ling Yun was, so she teamed up with a few bodyguards to come up with this terrible idea.

"Hey, what extras..."

"Alright, brothers, I'll just pretend you put on a show the whole time... Jiang Ruyu, come out here. I don't have time to mess with you. If you don't come out, I'm leaving!"

"Hey!"

Jiang Ruyu immediately opened the door and ran over, cursing the burly men for their poor acting, but in the end she let them leave first.

"Miss Jiang, you really have too much money to burn, is this for fun?"

Ling Yun crossed his arms and stared coldly at Jiang Ruyu.
