Chapter 14

As Xu Yun appeared, the originally bustling and lively idle factory instantly fell silent.

Xu Yun's gaze swept over everyone present. There were dozens of burly young men in the factory, most of them bare-chested, with wolf and tiger claw tattoos visible everywhere! These guys were gathered in several groups.

In the center of the largest group, seven or eight people were enjoying a charcoal hotpot with gusto, and several beer bottles lay haphazardly at their feet.

Behind this group, Qin Wan'er was tied to a load-bearing pillar leading to the factory roof with ropes. Seeing Xu Yun appear, she was speechless at why he hadn't called the police: "Why did you come alone?!"

"Well, you didn't say to bring people," Xu Yun's face showed no sign of tension.

The faces of the dozens of young men were filled with mocking smiles, as if Xu Yun were an unsuspecting lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The seven or eight small leaders at the hotpot table also put down their chopsticks and stood up.

Finally, a young man with dark skin and a robust, muscular build stood up from the hotpot table. Even among this group of muscular men, he stood out like a crane among chickens: "You're Xu Yun?"

"Didn't you call me?" Xu Yun was taken aback; the voice didn't sound right. "Where's the person who called me?"

"You can see our boss if you survive today without dying at the hands of Erhei." The dark-skinned young man clenched his fists until they crackled!

Xu Yun frowned: "Erhei? What a simple name, which village are you from?"

Erhei was the second-in-command of the Four Wolves Gang, second only to the boss and recognized as one of the most capable fighters in Hedong City! Few had dared to mock him, and those who did had long been fed to the fish in the Si River.

"You've got some guts, I heard you beat up Old Wei in the afternoon and raided Old Chen's place in the evening." Erhei sneered, "I'll tell you, don't think you're something special. My men are not like those useless scum."

When Xu Yun entered, he had already sensed the special aura around Erhei, an aura that only those who had experienced life and death possessed. The thugs around him were also more ferocious than the ruffians he had encountered in the afternoon, clearly people who had often shed blood or had blood shed on them.

"Since you need a beating, I'll oblige you." Xu Yun suddenly clasped his fists, and the sound of his knuckles cracking was much louder than Erhei's!

"Xu Yun! Are you crazy? You'll be beaten to death!" Qin Wan'er couldn't understand Xu Yun's foolish behavior: "I don't need you to interfere! Get out of here quickly!"

After all, as an outstanding graduate of the police academy, Qin Wan'er chose to prioritize the safety of the people in critical moments.

"Considering how worried you are about me, this trip wasn't in vain." Xu Yun smiled at Qin Wan'er. Even tied up like that, she still thought about others' safety, showing that she was truly different from some police officers.

"You really don't know when to quit!" Qin Wan'er had a good impression of Xu Yun, so she was genuinely worried about him. She tried to struggle free but to no avail.

The more Qin Wan'er struggled, the more her delicate curves were accentuated by the ropes. Xu Yun looked at her with a pained expression: "Being tied up like this must be uncomfortable. Don't worry, I'll untie you right away."

"Where are you looking?!" Qin Wan'er saw Xu Yun's unashamed gaze on her chest and truly doubted what he was thinking! At a time like this, he was still thinking and looking around?!

Erhei's face turned sinister. This kid was actually still talking and laughing! It was as if he didn't take him seriously at all!

Erhei would never forgive such a person: "Kid, you have a choice to go to heaven, but you choose to come to hell! Today, I'll show you what happens when you mess with the Four Wolves Gang!"

"Attack!"

With a roar, dozens of gleaming machetes were drawn, and they swung their weapons without a word! It seemed they wouldn't stop until they had bled Xu Yun dry!

Xu Yun moved with a precise and agile step, dodging the dozen or so machetes that whistled past him, remaining unscathed!

Suddenly, a powerful and overwhelming aura exploded from Xu Yun's unassuming body, instantly enveloping everyone, including Erhei!

Time seemed to stop, and everyone's bodies froze.

Xu Yun looked at one of the men with a sinister smile, and the man shivered violently, feeling a sudden weakness in his legs, and his machete fell from his hand!

"Clang!" — The sound of the machete hitting the ground woke everyone from their stupor.

Erhei couldn't bear the overwhelming pressure and roared: "Kill him!"

But at this moment, the confidence and courage of these men had waned. They had cut people and been cut themselves, but they had never been intimidated by someone's aura! Psychological fear was often more terrifying than physical pain.

The bone-chilling cold they had just felt was like the touch of death itself!

Would they charge forward knowing they would die?

Even if these guys were fearless, their feet were now stiff with fear.

As the saying goes, in battle, courage is key. The first charge is full of energy, the second wanes, and the third is exhausted!

The situation was exactly like that. The dozens of confident thugs thought they could end the fight in a few moves, but after this round, they hadn't even scratched Xu Yun, while he had used his overwhelming aura to strike them down!

Seeing no one respond, Erhei had his own thoughts. But in the gang, the most important thing was face. If he lost face in front of his brothers, even if the boss still respected him, his authority would be gone.

Suddenly, Erhei lunged forward, raising his steel knife to slash at Xu Yun's head! Xu Yun simply sidestepped, grabbing Erhei's wrist! Erhei, in pain, dropped his knife with a howl.

Erhei couldn't believe that this person could so easily dodge his powerful slash! After all, he was a well-known figure in Hedong, and today he had been humiliated by an unknown kid!

The second-in-command of the Four Wolves Gang, leading dozens of capable men, had been defeated by a single opponent. This was a huge loss of face!

Moreover, Xu Yun's calm and composed demeanor was far from the image of a cornered dog they had expected. Instead, they looked like a pack of disheveled dogs, appearing utterly miserable.

Erhei suddenly went berserk, charging at Xu Yun like a mad dog!

Xu Yun didn't dodge, letting Erhei charge at him! He suddenly kicked out with a lightning-fast leg, striking Erhei's jaw and ear with a powerful blow! Erhei was sent flying, spinning 360 degrees in the air, and then crashed into the hotpot table!

Clang!

"Ow! Ow!"

The famous Erhei fell onto the hotpot, scalding hot broth splashing all over him. The intense pain of the burns made him howl and roll on the ground, his skin blistering and bursting, causing him even more agony.

Seeing Erhei incapacitated, the dozens of thugs were shocked. No one dared to step forward, their eyes darting around, their breathing heavy, clearly on the brink of panic.

But these guys were not the kind of small-time thugs who could be intimidated by taking out the leader. Establishing oneself in the gang required high prestige, and whoever could take down Xu Yun would surely become a top leader. So Xu Yun didn't take them lightly.

Finally, someone couldn't resist the urge to rise to power and charged at Xu Yun from behind with a yell! Xu Yun sidestepped the blade, kicked the man's shin, and locked his throat with an eagle-claw grip, slamming him to the ground!

With the first one leading the way, the others couldn't hold back any longer! With a roar, they all charged forward, each filled with fear but still determined to fight. These were men who dared to risk their lives, unlike inexperienced small-time thugs.

Xu Yun didn't hesitate, stepping forward with a right punch, a flying kick, and a neck lock, throwing his opponent to the ground! Although all his moves were simple, they were deadly! No one who Xu Yun touched could stand up again!

Qin Wan'er watched in amazement. She had never seen anyone use military boxing so flexibly and effectively. Facing dozens of armed men, Xu Yun was still in complete control!

He was a mysterious man!

She even wondered if this was a movie scene. Even if someone shouted "Cut! That's a wrap!" she wouldn't be surprised.

Three minutes later, Xu Yun kicked the last man to the ground and sighed: "Phew, I'm sweating."

"You're not human!" Qin Wan'er's jaw dropped. Dozens of men had been taken down by Xu Yun alone!

Xu Yun almost rolled his eyes: "Is that how you talk? Who isn't human?"

"That's not what I meant... I mean, you... you..." Qin Wan'er was at a loss for words, "Are you even human?!"

"Fine, I'm not human. I'll leave then." Xu Yun really got up to leave.

"That's not what I meant! You should untie me first before you leave!" Qin Wan'er said angrily, "I need to go to the bathroom, come and untie me quickly!"

In Qin Wan'er's eyes, Xu Yun was far more than just a two-year veteran. She was now very curious about his identity; his skills were truly terrifying!

Xu Yun stopped teasing her, picked up a machete from the ground, and swiftly cut the ropes binding Qin Wan'er.

Qin Wan'er finally freed herself, quickly removing the ropes and glancing at Xu Yun: "Come with me to the bathroom..."

What kind of invitation is this?!
