Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

(Xiao Yanzi!!!)

As Yao Chen's words rang out in his heart, Xiao Yan, who had just fallen asleep, jumped up instantly, and Yun Zhi, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the deep jungle where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face in the night sky.

However, there was no sound at all.

"Xiao Yan." Yun Zhi slowly stood up, still staring into the depths of the jungle, and asked Xiao Yan in a low voice: "Have you provoked any enemies recently?"

"I rarely make enemies. If I have to name one, it would be the three waves of robbers I wiped out earlier."

Xiao Yan picked up the Xuan Zhong Chi and carried it on his shoulder, his deep black eyes staring into the depths of the jungle.

"But I don't think someone with this kind of strength would be a highway robber."

"That's right." Yun Zhi agreed softly, her voice becoming a little colder. "Three Star Dou Wang. If someone with this strength were to become a highway robber, that would be completely shameless."

As the words fell, a man in black wearing a cloak rushed out from the depths of the jungle, staring at Xiao Yan through the cloak with a sinister look, completely ignoring Yun Zhi beside him.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice.

"You are, Xiao Yan?"

"Exactly."

Xiao Yan admitted it without any hesitation. If someone didn't even dare to admit his own name, then there was no point in pursuing his righteous path.

What's more, since the person in front of him can find this place, it proves that he has confirmed his identity, so it is meaningless even if he denies it.

"Your Excellency has come to bother me so late at night. What is the matter?"

Xiao Yan asked coldly, his body already tense.

"It's nothing, I just received a commission from someone to take your life."

The moment the black-clothed man finished speaking, his figure had already flashed in front of Xiao Yan. The dagger under his cloak flashed with a cold light, and it was less than three inches away from Xiao Yan's pupils!

Xiao Yan had no reaction at all!

This is Dou Wang level speed!!!

Ding! ! !

Xiao Yan also looked in fear at the long sword that was blocking in front of him and steadily caught the dagger, and cold sweat covered his face.

Just a hair's breadth away from death!

"Um?!"

The black-clothed man's gaze suddenly froze under the cloak, and he looked along the sword towards the person holding the sword, who was none other than Yun Zhi with a cold face!

Isn't this woman an ordinary person?

The man in black was shocked and stepped back abruptly, staring at Yunzhi vigilantly.

Just now, Yun Zhi restrained her aura while meditating, causing the man in black to completely mistakenly believe that Yun Zhi was just an ordinary woman accompanying Xiao Yan on his journey.

However, the man in black did not expect that Yunzhi could block his dagger so accurately and quickly under his sudden attack.

"Sister Yunzhi! Thank you!"

Xiao Yan immediately thanked Yun Zhi. Yun Zhi nodded slightly, raised her sword and stood in front of Xiao Yan, staring at the man in black coldly.

At this moment, the dim white light on the ring on Xiao Yan's chest faded away silently, and Yao Chen in the ring also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yunzhi was there, otherwise he would have to risk his soul to protect Xiao Yan's life.

Xiao Yan is just a fighter now. Even if he uses his own strength, he is only a mid-level great fighter. Even with Xiao Yan's strong physique, he will never be able to compete with a fighter king.

Not to mention winning, even being able to escape is considered a success!

After feeling relieved, Yao Chen frowned tightly.

Who sent this Dou Wang who suddenly appeared to assassinate Xiao Yan?

According to Xiao Yan's personality, he should not offend anyone too much, not to mention that the person is someone who can be entrusted by Dou Wang. Xiao Yan should not have reached this level yet.

But soon, Yao Chen had some guesses in his heart.

no, wrong

There are still some people who can entrust Dou Wang to carry out the assassination, and they are also the only high-end force that has a dispute with Xiao Yan.

The largest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, the Yun Lan Sect!

There was only one reason for entrusting Dou Wang to assassinate Xiao Yan, and that was the three-year agreement between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran!

Nalan Yanran, the proud daughter of heaven and the future young master, would have to marry this waste known to everyone on the spot if she defeated Xiao Yan in the three-year agreement. This would definitely be a huge blow to the reputation of the Yunlan Sect!

As for finding a way to make Xiao Yan win?

Don't be ridiculous, doesn't this prove that the young master that Yun Lan Sect has worked so hard to cultivate is not as good as a waste who rose halfway? This is undoubtedly a bigger blow to the reputation of Yun Lan Sect!

Whether winning or losing, it is not good for the reputation of Yunlan Sect, at least in the eyes of those people!

Therefore, if they want to resolve this dilemma, the only way is to stop the three-year agreement from happening and solve the problem from the root!

There are two sources for this three-year agreement. One is Nalan Yanran who proposed the three-year agreement, and the other is Xiao Yan who was forced to accept the three-year agreement.

As their own young master, Nalan Yanran was naturally eliminated from the target.

Therefore, there is only one goal left.

That is Nalan Yanran’s fiancé, Xiao Yan!

Chapter 72: Rage and Killing

Yao Chen guessed this in his mind, and Yun Zhi, who knew Xiao Yan's background well, also guessed it roughly.

The Xiao family that Xiao Yan belongs to is just a small family in Wutan City, and the clan leader is just a great Dou Shi. It is impossible for them to come into contact with the forces that can afford to hire a Dou Wang on a normal day. After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities.

Yunlan Sect, and the Nalan Family.

One is the sect that Nalan Yanran belongs to, and the other is the family that Nalan Yanran belongs to. Both of them are involved with the Xiao family because of the three-year agreement between Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan.

But Yunzhi had met Nalan Yanran's father and grandfather. Although they might have some flaws in their personalities, they were generally upright and concerned about their reputation. Even if Nalan Yanran might marry Xiao Yan in three years, Yunzhi could hardly imagine that they would do such a despicable act as hiring a killer.

In this case, there is only one possibility left.

Yun, Lan, Zong!

After guessing this, Yunzhi's mood, which had finally calmed down these days, suddenly became extremely angry at this moment!

Yes! She had been away from the sect for many years, and her teacher Yunshan had been in seclusion for cultivation, so the sect was basically managed by the great elder Yun Leng. She had also heard many voices of dissatisfaction with the Yunlan Sect in the Jiama Empire recently. If the Yunlan Sect had really done something despicable, then she, as the sect master, was indeed derelict in her duty.

But Yun Zhi never expected that Yun Lan Zong would be so depraved as to hire a Dou Wang to assassinate a Dou Zhe! Just because the other party might offend Yun Lan Zong in the future!!!

You really have no shame!!!

I have been admonishing you to be upright and honest, I have been teaching you to have a clear conscience, have they all been eaten by dogs? ! !

Who on earth is trying to humiliate Yunlan Sect? ! !

In addition to what the Yunlan Sect did, there was another thing that Yunzhi could never accept.

Xiao Yan, a young man who was more upright than Yunshan and whom she had a good impression of, not only almost died, but he would also definitely know his identity one day in the future, and would most likely know what the Yunlan Sect had done!

The same is true for the sect he manages. How will he view himself as the sect leader then?

Would he think that these things were his own idea?

Would he think that he was also a shameless and despicable person?

Would he think that the time he had spent with me these days was a memory he didn't want to mention again?

Damn it! Damn it!!!

The extreme anger caused the Dou Qi in Yunzhi's body to begin to rise, and finally the powerful might that belonged only to the Dou Huang completely erupted!

We can’t just ignore the Yunlan Sect!!!

(What happened to Sister Yunzhi? Why did she suddenly get so angry?!)

Feeling the undisguised anger erupting from Yun Zhi in front of him, Xiao Yan's face was filled with astonishment.

Yao Chen in the ring said nothing and just looked at the furious Yun Zhi quietly.

She seemed to have guessed Yunzhi's identity.

If not for this, even if Yun Zhi would be angry because Xiao Yan almost died, she would not be angry to this extent.

It must be because Yunlan Sect’s actions made her feel ashamed in front of Xiao Yan.

That kind of shame and humiliation could not be simply ignored, not to mention that the target of Yunlan Sect's persecution was Xiao Yan, a young man whom she had a good impression of.

Just as Xiao Yan and Yao Chen judged, Yun Zhi was a very upright person.

It is precisely because Yunzhi is quite upright that she feels angry and ashamed about this!

The sect that he managed actually appeared in front of Xiao Yan in such an ugly posture!

The man in black also widened his eyes at this time, looking at Yun Zhi, who was full of murderous intent, in horror, and his heart began to beat violently!

Damn it! Didn’t the employer say there was only a little fighter? ! He didn’t tell me there was a Fighting Emperor lady following him around!!!

At this moment, the man in black no longer had any thoughts about Xiao Yan, and only had one idea left.

run!

Run! !

Run as fast as you can!!!

If you don’t run away, I’ll die here! ! ! !

Without any hesitation, the man in black turned around and ran towards the jungle, but Yunzhi immediately noticed his intention.

"Want to run?!"

Yun Zhi shouted coldly, and the long sword in his hand flashed instantly. Four wind blades shot towards the fleeing man in black. The next second, this Dou Wang strongman was cut into a human stick without any resistance, and his body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

“Uh ...

The man in black, who was lying on the ground and could hardly turn over, screamed miserably after realizing what was happening. The anger in Yunzhi's eyes did not diminish at all. She walked forward slowly and stomped hard on the man's back, causing him to stop screaming and spurt out another mouthful of blood.

Xiao Yan did not feel much about this cruel and ruthless scene.

Yun Zhi saved his life, and the target of such cruel means was the person who almost killed him just now. Xiao Yan would naturally not feel afraid, nor would he be so crazy as to feel sorry for the fate of the man in black.

Since you have done it, you must bear the consequences. This is an absolute truth.

It was only after a week of getting along that Xiao Yan unconsciously ignored it, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly reacted.

Yunzhi, who looks like the big sister next door, is one of the few Douhuang strongmen even in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan shrugged lightly, feeling helpless in his heart.

Sure enough, delusion is just delusion. No matter how much the other person's personality suits one's own taste, the strength and status of both parties are unequal.

To be self-deprecating, a toad like me should never dream of eating swan meat.

At this time, Yunzhi stared coldly at the man in black under her feet, lightly put her sword against the man's head, and questioned in a sinister voice.

"Who sent you here?"

"Alas?!"

Feeling the cold light behind his head, the man in black's heart tensed to the extreme. He even forgot the pain and answered hurriedly, fearing that Yun Zhi would chop him with a sword if he answered slowly!

"I don't know!"

"Hmm?" Yunzhi frowned slightly at the black-clothed man's answer, and pressed the tip of the sword against the back of the black-clothed man's head even harder, "Don't know?"

It was obvious that she didn't believe this answer, and her tone clearly showed her dissatisfaction.

The man in black was about to cry and hurried to explain.

"I, what I said is true! I really don't know who the other party is! I accepted this commission in the Black Horn Region, where there is a special place to issue assassination missions! The other party gave half of the reward, and the remaining half will be delivered after the mission is completed! From beginning to end, I have never seen the other party!!!"

The man in black didn't pause at all, and said everything he knew in one breath.

To be honest, when he heard that the target of the mission was just a fighter, the man in black suspected that this commission was a deliberate scam.

But what the other party offered was so tempting that it was definitely worth the risk.

Moreover, he had checked when he came to the Jia Ma Empire and found out that Xiao Yan really had no background. The most powerful person in the Xiao family was just a great fighting master. Even the highest level of the Nalan family, which had a marriage contract with the Xiao family, was just a fighting king. Even if he could not beat people of the same level, he could still escape. What's more, he would retreat after killing people. Even if they wanted to avenge Xiao Yan, where could they find him?

From this, it can be seen that the man in black had indeed taken the task after considering the above-mentioned things, but he did not expect that a Douhuang bodyguard would appear beside Xiao Yan!
