Chapter 53: Ah, you're Chu Yun?!

  A dozen or so sturdy men, presumably used to bullying in this small village, immediately pounced over with ferocious expressions upon hearing the order.

  Chu Yun's face suddenly turned cold: "Originally wanted to pay you rent, now don't even think about it."

  He didn't take out a knife either, and instead casually pulled out an iron bar from beside him. When the first thug pounced on him, Chu Yun swung it heavily at his face.

  Splash!

  The ruffian fell to the ground with a thud, his face and cheeks were swollen, his entire nasal bridge was completely shattered, and large amounts of fresh blood gushed out from his nostrils.

  "Ah——!" He let out a mournful howl, covering his nose with both hands, his body curled up like a shrimp, in extreme pain.

  The sturdy men behind him were all stunned. They were really frightened by this sudden and extremely mournful howl.

  They stopped, but Chu Yun didn't.

  With a cold snort, Chu Yun pulled out the iron bar with a fierce gust of wind. For more than half a year now, he had been eating high-grade food and taking top-quality elixirs, and also had Tian Hu, Zui Xue Dao, and Huan Zhuan Dan Yuan Shu's three great spiritual energies to transform his body. His physical quality had already risen by several levels.

  These ordinary strong men, don't even have a demon beast. A mortal body, how can they be his opponent?

  For a moment, Chu Yun stepped into the crowd, wherever he went, teeth were flying, hands and feet were broken, blood was splashing everywhere, skin was torn and flesh was bursting.

  "Oh no!" The leader of the household staff saw things were going badly and fled in disarray.

  Who can outrun Chu Yun?

  With a swift pull of the iron bar, his back clothes were immediately torn apart. The head of the household let out a mournful cry, as if struck by lightning, and subconsciously covered the wound with both hands.

  Chu Yun lifted one foot and kicked him flying far away, landing on the ground with a loud thud.

  "Aren't you looking for rent? This is the rent, take it well." Chu Yun sneered and with a swift movement of her iron rod, she thoroughly 'took care' of the housekeeper from head to toe.

  The family members cried out in horror, rolling on the ground. They begged for mercy loudly, shaking the entire Steam Island.

  "Looks like you're quite loud, huh?" Chu Yun's expression was cold and detached as he focused on the man's mouth. He didn't stop until he had knocked out all of his teeth, sending them flying everywhere. His arm shook, the iron bar trembled, and a patch of fresh blood splattered onto the ground.

  The family head was already completely unconscious, like a dead dog, paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

  Many people in the village rushed over upon hearing the news and cheered loudly at the scene.

  "Great, great hit, damn it feels good!"

  "Today's the day for Jia's dog leg."

  "It serves you right."

  Someone also advised Chu Yun: "Young man, you'd better leave quickly. The Jia family has a lot of power, and if you hit the running dog, the master will come out."

  "Hurry up and pack, let's get out of here quickly. We'll all keep it a secret for you."

  "Jia's family? Let them come then." Chu Yun sneered, unafraid. He walked back to the store and shouted at the thugs wailing on the ground: "Scram!"

  The rascals all sprang up with a start, their faces twisted in a scowl, and slunk away with their tails between their legs. Not one of them dared to look at Chu Yun. The leader of the servants was lifted onto his feet, and he took to his heels at once.

  "Xiao Yun..." Master Yu Ya's face was filled with worry.

  "Yu Ya uncle, don't worry, it's nothing. Let's continue eating." Chu Yun waved his hand with a smile, making people hard to believe that the cold and ruthless young man from just now was the same person.

  Yu Ya was comforted and the four of them continued eating.

  Just after finishing eating, I heard a burst of footsteps coming from outside the door.

  "Which son of a bitch dares to hit my little brother-in-law! Get out here!" The voice was arrogant and vicious, spreading into the store.

  Yu Ya stood up, but was stopped by Chu Yun.

  "It was me." Chu Yun sneered repeatedly, walked out the door, and saw a large crowd of people surrounding a fat man, with an air of indignation, obviously coming to demand justice.

  "Wooo, wooo!" Beside the fatty was a house guard captain, his entire body wrapped in white bandages. Seeing Chu Yun appear, his eyes suddenly shot out with furious and ferocious glints, pointing at Chu Yun, but because of his swollen tongue, he couldn't speak, only able to shout wildly.

  That fatty saw Chu Yun, and his whole body shook. His gaze lingered on the knife handle behind Chu Yun for a moment, and he couldn't help but reveal an uncontrollable look of shock.

  "May I ask, sir, if you are the young master of Shu Family Island, who beheaded the remnants of the wolf clan and became a renowned hero at just 13 years old, Young Master Chu Yun?" The fatty bowed his hands, his expression extremely solemn.

  The family's eldest son suddenly stopped shouting and stared blankly at the fat boy.

  "What's it to you?" Chu Yun raised an eyebrow.

  "Haha." Chubby's face suddenly piled up a hypocritical smile, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, with a sharp glint, "I am Jia Renhe, the great steward of the Jia family. I heard that there was a bit of misunderstanding here, so I came to pay my respects and explain things."

  Jin Bi Han also appeared, standing aside with a cold smile: "Your style of explaining misunderstandings is quite unique, bringing such a large group of people, carrying knives and sticks, and some demon-suppressing masters, with an aura of killing intent. Others would think you're here looking for trouble!"

  "Preposterous!" Jiaren hastily waved his hand, "These petty thugs are no match for even one of Master Chuyun's fingers. Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous. Please, sir scholar, do not doubt my sincerity."

  As he spoke, he let out a cold snort, his face suddenly changing color, and glared sideways at the head of the household servants. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped the servant's cheek heavily.

  A loud crack.

  This slap was severe, and in an instant it sent the house servant's head spinning, causing him to spin around three times on the spot. Only then did he thud to the ground with a loud crash.

  "You blind dog slave, you actually dared to offend Young Master Chou's grandeur. Don't you know that our Jia and Shu families have an extraordinary trade relationship? Blind thing, blind thing!"

  Jia Ren shouted and cursed, his feet never stopping, kicking the leader of the household servants until he spat out blood continuously.

  "That's enough, you can leave now." Chu Yun furrowed her brow, waved her hand and impatiently shooed them away.

  Jia Renhe nodded and bowed: "Since the misunderstanding has been clarified, I'll take my leave now. Hehehe."

  A group of people came with great momentum, but ultimately retreated in disarray, leaving the onlookers in a state of shock and astonishment.

  "It seems that after the sea salt crisis, Shujia Island has become increasingly powerful and its influence is growing stronger." Jin Bihong walked closer to Chu Yun's side, smiling.

  "This is because Jia Island is close to Shu Island, and the Shu family's warship can reach Jia Island in just a day and night. Moreover, there are business agreements, so they wouldn't dare to offend each other. The most important thing is that the other party is just a small steward, a high-ranking dog leg at best." Chu Yun shook his head, not taking it seriously.

  "It turns out that Chu Shaoye, the master of Chu Island, was actually the young hero who beheaded the Lone Wolf. The Lone Wolf? He's the third pirate leader in the Zhuxing Archipelago and rose to fame at just 13 years old. Truly remarkable." The down-and-out Master Yu Ya let out a sigh, gazing deeply at Chu Yun.

  Chu Yun listened to him change his address, hurriedly waved his hand, and smiled warmly: "Yu Ya uncle, don't praise me too much. It's better to call me Xiao Yun. In fact, life is like a wave, with ups and downs. Uncle, you are just in the low tide of life, as long as your fighting spirit is not extinguished, you will definitely be able to climb back up to the top of the wave."

  "Alas, it's rare to have someone take care of a useless person like me. For over a decade, I've been holding onto hope. But Qī Zhōng's betrayal really hurts. To be honest with you, this has dealt a huge blow to me. However, Chǔ Yún, what you said is right - life is like the waves, it's a fitting metaphor. Thank you for enlightening me; even if I don't find the Dan Fang this time, I'll continue to strive!"

  Yu Ya's heart was open, the more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and a extraordinary aura quietly emanated from her. This aura made people think of reef rocks by the sea, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they couldn't destroy the reef itself.

  Chu Yun was also delighted. A true strongman must have talent, character and strength, none of which can be missing. Yu Ya may have fallen, but this experience has tempered his character to be as hard as a rock, it can be said that it is the greatest wealth of his life.

  Heroes often meet their demise at the end of the road, and it is in desperate situations that great men are forged.

  Watching Yu Ya's change in demeanor, Chu Yun was about to say something when a sudden sense of foreboding arose in her mind.

  "Be careful!" Jin Bihe and Yan Que exclaimed in unison.

  Chu Yun's ears moved slightly as he listened to the wind and judged the position, without turning his head, he directly stretched out his arm and grabbed it. He caught a flying arrow that was shot over.

  "Rats, sneak attack! Get out!" Chu Yun's eyes flashed with electricity as she turned around, her gaze sweeping in all directions.

  Suddenly, he paused and saw a suspicious figure flashing by in a remote corner.

  "Chase!" Chu Yun drew his sword and rode forward on his horse.

  That figure saw Chu Yun discover himself, and he became even more flustered. He threw down the bow in his hand, ran a few steps, and then jumped into a long river with a splash.

  "Hmph, did you think you could escape like that?" Yan Que let out a cold hum, slapped his sack, and shot out a vine. The vine was like a snake, probing into the river, wrapping someone up tightly, and binding them to the shore.

  "Stop, stop killing me!" The man spat out a few mouthfuls of river water, his whole body scorched bright red, and cried out in fear.

  The river water on Zhongleng Island is very hot due to geothermal heating.

  "Who are you and why are you plotting against me?" Chu Yun coldly snorted and immediately interrogated.

  "I didn't mean to secretly calculate you, good fellow spare my life, I shot a message arrow. Who knew that when it flew past your side, it was caught by someone!" The man hastily explained, looking very frightened. He was just an ordinary wandering knight, with average qualifications and possessing a small, unremarkable demon. Three days ago, he had been entrusted to shoot the message arrow.

  Dart?

  Chu Yun looked at it for a while and indeed found that this arrow shaft had opened up a space, with a letter hidden inside.

  He took it out and unfolded it for all to see, and everyone was shocked.

  Challenge Letter!

  The one who signed is none other than Zhong Qi himself.

  Zhong Qi declared in the letter that he had taken the Tianling Zhenxin Dan. This time, it was to humiliate Yu Ya severely. If Yu Ya still wanted to return the Dingxing Bow and Dan Fang, then roll into his casting room. The words in the letter were arrogant and domineering, extremely humiliating Yu Ya, making people frown when they saw them.

  "Despicable scoundrel!" Jin Bihe couldn't help but curse.

  "Is the Casting Soldier's house also on this island?" Chu Yun asked Yu Ya.

  "Of course, at the foot of the small hill in the center of the island. I went there to look for him after he snatched the Danfang and Dingxing Bow away from me. The gate was closed, so I had no choice but to retreat with a sullen face. Who would have thought that Zhong Qi would come back!" Yu Ya clenched the letter paper, his body trembling, his face filled with anger and excitement.

  "Go to the barracks." Chu Yun decided without hesitation.
