Chapter 22

This sudden surge of yin energy caught Gufan off guard, and it had already entered his body by the time he sensed it!

The yin energy that entered his body burst with a chill, making everything inside Gufan feel as if it were about to freeze instantly.

Gufan admitted to himself that he had been careless, not expecting anyone to be lurking nearby. In terms of experience in the world, Gufan still lacked.

However, the chill brought by this yin energy quickly dissipated as Gufan circulated his spiritual energy. In the blink of an eye, all the invading yin energy vanished without a trace.

"Hidden head, exposed tail!" Gufan's figure flashed, his speed suddenly increasing as he rushed straight into a small forest to the side.

"Yin Sha Sword!"

Just as Gufan rushed in, he heard a light exclamation, and a gray sword aura shot straight at him.

"Fireball!"

Gufan raised his hand, and a fireball instantly appeared, then traced a bright trajectory, causing the temperature around to soar instantly.

With a loud boom, the fireball collided with the sword aura, causing a strong wind to blow, and the surrounding trees were left in a mess as if they had been ravaged.

"Impossible, a mere fireball, how could it possibly block my Yin Sha Sword?" Lü Yun's face was full of shock.

"Old Mr. Wang must not die, you can stop now, get lost!" Gufan's voice was cold, his eyes like lightning, staring at Lü Yun.

"You've ruined my plans, how can I let it go? I want to see just how capable you are!" Lü Yun formed a hand seal and shouted, "Yin Wind!"

A gust of wind suddenly appeared, carrying a chill that completely enveloped Gufan.

The light gradually dimmed, becoming misty, as if they had entered another world.

"Looking for death!" Cultivation was not easy, and Gufan did not want to kill, but he did not expect this person to be so disrespectful. His face turned cold, and he lightly called out, "Wind Sword!"

The surrounding yin wind immediately condensed, and Gufan took control, transforming it into a wind sword that shot straight at Lü Yun.

The yin wind around the wind sword instantly dissipated as it passed.

The wind sword arrived in an instant, piercing through Lü Yun's body.

"Yin Sha!" But Lü Yun's voice sounded again.

The wind sword only pierced through Lü Yun's afterimage.

A more powerful chill, hidden by the surrounding yin wind, suddenly attacked Gufan from behind.

The yin wind from earlier was merely a cover for this move, Yin Sha.

A smile flashed across Lü Yun's face. Although Gufan's level was higher, it didn't mean he would definitely win in a fight.

On-the-spot performance and the proper use of spells were crucial.

Lü Yun could already see the image of Gufan being hit by the Yin Sha.

But suddenly, Lü Yun was stunned.

Gufan suddenly turned around and delivered a simple punch, which, with the burst of spiritual energy, directly shattered Lü Yun's Yin Sha.

Not only that, Gufan took a step forward, seemingly appearing right in front of Lü Yun, and delivered another punch.

Lü Yun's face was filled with horror; he could feel the violent spiritual energy contained in the punch, which he could not withstand.

"Yin Mountain!" At this critical moment, Lü Yun focused and waved his hand, and a shadow of a mountain formed by yin energy appeared in front of him.

The shadow of the Yin Mountain had just appeared when Gufan's punch landed.

The Yin Mountain instantly collapsed, and Lü Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as he retreated.

Lü Yun retreated quickly, but Gufan was even faster, delivering another simple punch.

"I will remember this humiliation today!" Lü Yun's face was filled with horror, and without hesitation, he bit his lip and spat out a mouthful of his own lifeblood, forming a powerful yin wind vortex that shot directly at Gufan.

Gufan's face changed slightly; the strength of this vortex was enough to make even him feel alarmed.

A punch did not break through the yin wind vortex!

Gufan continued to punch, his spiritual energy bursting forth, and it took five punches to disperse the yin wind vortex.

But by then, Lü Yun had already disappeared.

"Master was right, my experience in combat is still far from enough. My level is higher, and my spells are more proficient, but I let him escape!" Gufan frowned, extremely dissatisfied with himself.

Gufan was concerned about Chen Jiaxin, fearing that Lü Yun might have some malicious intentions before leaving.

However, seeing that Chen Jiaxin was unharmed, Gufan let out a long sigh of relief.

Lü Yun was lucky to escape; he had no time to harm others.

The aftermath did not need Gufan's involvement, and to avoid trouble, Gufan quickly took Chen Jiaxin away.

Chen Jiaxin's body trembled, and her face was pale as she saw the three mangled cars, the fallen thugs, and the flowing blood.

Even after getting into the taxi on the main road, Chen Jiaxin seemed to have not recovered.

"Are you okay?" Gufan was very concerned about Chen Jiaxin's mental state.

"Who, who were those people? In broad daylight... they actually..." Everything that happened today completely颠覆ed Chen Jiaxin's worldview.

"Desperate criminals!" Gufan smiled bitterly, feeling that the situation was getting more and more complicated.

"I'm sorry for involving you!" Chen Jiaxin had nothing to do with all this, but because she was with Gufan...

"What exactly do you want from Old Mr. Wang?" Chen Jiaxin was very curious.

"Something very important to me!" The jade tablet, which involved a great secret.

Chen Jiaxin did not ask further and fell silent.

This made Gufan a bit uncomfortable; he had already gotten used to Chen Jiaxin's chatter throughout the day.

"Are you really okay?" Gufan asked, worried.

Occupation, bloodshed—these things can easily leave psychological scars on ordinary people, especially ordinary girls.

"I'm fine!" Chen Jiaxin shook her head and continued to be silent.

"No one can harm you as long as I'm here. Don't worry!" Gufan tightly held Chen Jiaxin's hand, not thinking of taking advantage of her, but wanting to give her some comfort and strength.

"Okay!" Chen Jiaxin nodded slightly, feeling very scared, but also feeling a sense of stability in her heart. The image of Gufan protecting her at the critical moment kept replaying in her mind.

A hint of worry flashed in Gufan's eyes, hoping that Chen Jiaxin would be fine.

In fact, Gufan did not expect the other party to be so bold, causing such a scene in the city center, and did not expect their actions to be so swift.

Thinking of the escaped Lü Yun, Gufan frowned slightly.

From Lü Yun's decisive and venomous escape, Gufan knew that this was a venomous snake, staring at him, ready to bring him great trouble at any time.

"Never show any mercy to your enemies!" Gufan sighed, reflecting on the previous battle. If he had gone all out from the beginning, with the goal of killing the other party, the outcome might have been different.

"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Seeing Gufan appear at the hospital, Wang Chenglong and Wang Yuyan were overjoyed.

"I'm fine, but your people..." Gufan's expression was a bit somber, "Try to save them. I can only guarantee that none of them will die!"

"Mr. Gu, rest assured, I will personally take care of their arrangements, and I will not let them feel cold-hearted!" Wang Chenglong said sincerely.

"Okay!" Gufan nodded, "I'll go see the old man!"

"Yuyan, accompany Mr. Gu." Wang Chenglong nodded at Wang Yuyan.

With such a big incident, Wang Chenglong had to handle it properly. Such an event in the city center was very troublesome, even for the Wang family, which had a significant influence in Donghai City.

So Wang Chenglong had to communicate with many people. Otherwise, if Gufan were really implicated, it could affect the treatment of his grandfather, which would be a big problem.

The black hand behind this also needed to be found as soon as possible.

Wang Chenglong was really afraid of any unexpected events. The other party's quick response made him feel a lot of pressure.

"Mr. Gu, please give us a chance to observe!" Lin Xuetang and Zhu Shengshou had been looking forward to seeing Gufan's true skills, and they did not want to back down at such a critical moment.

"Gu, Uncle Lin and Uncle Zhu are authorities in the hospital, and it's because of them that no one has disturbed Grandfather." Wang Yuyan said softly, "Give them a chance, I believe they won't interfere with you at all! Right, Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhu?"

"Right, Mr. Gu, I won't interfere with you, I'll just use my eyes!" Lin Xuetang patted his chest.

"I just want to see Mr. Gu's skills!" Zhu Shengshou also quickly agreed.

"Okay!" Gufan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

If they wanted to observe, let them observe. Gufan could ensure that they would not understand anything.

The door to the ward closed, and Wang Yuyan and Chen Jiaxin stayed outside.

"Miss Chen, please sit here!" Wang Yuyan smiled and invited her.

"No need!" Chen Jiaxin's response was cold.

"Earlier, I knew everything. I'm sorry for the shock you experienced!" Wang Yuyan stood beside Chen Jiaxin and apologized.

"Your affairs have nothing to do with me!" Chen Jiaxin was still cold.

"I know, and I'm afraid of causing confusion for Miss Chen. I just hope that Miss Chen won't be harmed by this!" Wang Yuyan remained sincere.

She felt guilty!

Even though she could not control everything, involving Chen Jiaxin was an undeniable fact. So, Wang Yuyan was really worried about Chen Jiaxin's state.

"I'm fine!" Perhaps sensing Wang Yuyan's continuous sincerity, Chen Jiaxin slightly softened her coldness.

"What is the relationship between Miss Chen and Gu? Don't misunderstand, I'm just curious..." Wang Yuyan could feel Chen Jiaxin's 'hostility,' and being a few years older, she naturally understood the reason for this emotion.

"Miss Wang, you're prying a bit too much!" Chen Jiaxin returned to her coldness.

Thinking of Wang Yuyan's deliberate attempts to get close to Gufan, Chen Jiaxin felt very uncomfortable!

Because she was using Gufan, and Gufan seemed to be willing to be used, this made Chen Jiaxin even more uncomfortable.
