Mount Tai.

The area had already stopped receiving tourists yesterday and was under strict control.

The road up the mountain was guarded every ten steps and a sentry every five steps.

Accompanied by Shu Lingyue, Lai Fu, Lin Le, Fengzi, and a group of brothers including Zhang Yanqing and Huo Guanying, Chen Yun climbed Mount Tai and arrived at the South Heaven Gate.

"Everyone, stop here!"

"I'll go up myself and wait for Ghost Tomb Dragon at Jade Emperor Peak."

Everyone nodded and said, "Okay, we'll wait here for your triumphant return, Chen Yun."

The madman handed Chen Yun his Mad Song Battle Blade and Chilong Dagger: "Mr. Chen, here are your battle blade and dagger."

Chen Yun took it and walked alone towards the Jade Emperor Peak.

But he hadn't taken more than a few steps.

Does it seem like I'm remembering something?

He stopped and turned back.

Shu Lingyue and the others looked at Chen Yun with suspicion, their expressions asking: Is there anything else?

Chen Yun looked at Shu Lingyue, his gaze falling on the handbag she was carrying, and said casually, "Hand me your handbag."

Shu Lingyue was taken aback. Although she didn't understand, she still handed her handbag to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun opened her handbag and rummaged through it a couple of times, and sure enough, she found a sharp little knife inside.

"I'll lend you this knife."

Chen Yun said something and then threw the handbag back to Shu Lingyue. Before Shu Lingyue could react, he had already instructed Laifu, Lin Le, and the madman: "You guys protect Miss Shu."

Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman exchanged glances and said in unison, "Yes!"

Chen Yun turned and left.

Only Shu Lingyue, who was filled with surprise and uncertainty, Lai Fu, Lin Le, the madman, who kept their eyes straight ahead, and Zhang Yanqing and the others who were completely confused were left behind.

Shu Lingyue looked at Chen Yun's back with a mixture of surprise and confusion in her eyes.

Last night, when she confessed to the priest in the confessional, she said that she would leave her feelings for Chen Yun to God to arrange.

If Chen Yun defeats Onizuka Ryu and goes back to marry Shu Tangyin, she will quietly leave Chen Yun and silently bury this feeling.

If Chen Yun fails and dies under the Ghost Tomb Dragon Blade, she will immediately commit suicide to be with him. If she cannot be with Chen Yun in life, then she will be with him in death.

So, she secretly prepared a small knife in her handbag today.

This was originally a tool for lovers to commit suicide together.

But she never dreamed that Chen Yun would ask to look through her handbag without warning, and would even borrow her knife.

What's going on here?!

Did Chen Yun find out what she was thinking?

Did they deliberately take the knife away, denying her the chance to commit suicide?

He even instructed Laifu, Linle, and the madman to keep an eye on him?

Shu Lingyue became more and more surprised as she thought about it. She turned her head to look at Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman, trying to see something from their faces.

Lai Fu lowered his voice and said, "Miss Shu, don't look at us like that. We don't know what's going on either. Brother Chen just told us this morning that you're acting a bit strangely and have suicidal tendencies, and that we should keep an eye on you..."

Shu Lingyue's pupils dilated violently, thinking to herself: Chen Yun really knew about my plan.

But how did Chen Yun find out?

Only the priest in the confessional knew about this!

Oh, Father?

Shu Lingyue suddenly remembered that last night in the confessional of the cathedral, she felt that the priest’s voice was a little strange, as if he was deliberately lowering his voice to pretend to be deep.

She didn't think much of it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, the more she thinks about it, the more familiar the priest's voice seems. Although he could lower his voice, it seemed to be very similar to Chen Yun's voice!

Could it be that the person in the confessional last night wasn't a priest, but Chen Yun?!

That's the only explanation!

Shu Lingyue was shocked, and her pretty face flushed red at a visible speed.

Zhang Yanqing, Zhang Yang, Huo Guanying, and the others standing to the side looked completely bewildered, none of them understanding what was going on.

But at that very moment...

Another large group of people arrived in a grand procession.

The leader was dressed in a black samurai outfit, with two samurai swords at his waist, one a long katana and the other a short wakizashi.

This man walked with a steady and powerful gait, his eyes sharp as lightning. He was none other than Onizuka Ryu, a legendary figure from Japan, hailed as the successor to Chiba Ryuji.

Onizuka Ryu was accompanied by his subordinates, including Aki.

Behind him were a large number of foreigners and reporters.

When Zhang Yanqing and the others saw Guizuka Ryu's group, their expressions immediately darkened, and they stared at the group with icy eyes.

"This is the South Heavenly Gate, below the Ghost Tomb Dragon Pavilion. Mr. Chen is already waiting for you at the Jade Emperor Peak ahead. You may proceed on your own. The rest of you can only wait here for news, just like us."

Huo Guanying spoke coldly to Onizuka Ryuichi and his party.

Ryu Onizuka had not yet spoken.

His subordinate, Amu, shouted, "We must go to Jade Emperor Peak with Lord Onizuka Ryu, otherwise what if you send people to ambush Lord Onizuka Ryu there?"

Huo Guanying and the others were furious after hearing this.

Zhang Yanqing retorted angrily, "You're judging others by your own petty standards. Mr. Chen was able to travel across the ocean to Japan to take Chiba Ryuji's life, but now that we're on our turf, do you really need to resort to such underhanded tactics to deal with a mere Onizuka Ryu? Who do you think you are?"

These words infuriated Amu and the others.

Even Onizuka Ryu, who usually claimed to maintain a calm demeanor even when his heart was pounding with rage, couldn't help but change his expression.

Onizuka Ryu first said to Amu and the others, "Shut up, all of you stay here and wait for me. Do not cause any trouble."

Amu and the others dared not utter a sound.

Onizuka Ryu then looked at Zhang Yanqing and the others, and said coldly, "Don't be arrogant either!"

"Back then, Chen Yun was able to cross the ocean to Japan to kill Lord Chiba, and now I can also cross the ocean to come here and kill Chen Yun."

"When I defeat Chen Yun, cut off his head, and throw it in front of you, I want to see what kind of expression you'll have."

Zhang Yanqing was about to explode on the spot!

Huo Guanying stopped Zhang Yanqing and advised, "Don't argue with him. Chen Yun will teach him a lesson."

Zhang Yanqing nodded: "Mm!"

Upon hearing this, Onizuka Ryu snorted coldly and strode forward, heading towards the Jade Emperor Peak.

The foreigners and media reporters at the scene immediately took out their cameras and video recorders and filmed Onizuka Ryu's back, capturing the tense atmosphere.

Jade Emperor Peak.

Chen Yun stood with his hands behind his back, his figure upright, the mountain wind making his clothes flutter.

At that moment, the rhythmic sound of wooden clogs could be heard.

Along with it came a strong killing intent.

Chen Yun turned around and, sure enough, saw Onizuka Ryu dressed in samurai attire and wearing wooden clogs approaching.

"You've come!"

"I am coming!"

"It seems we're too early!"

"We're too early!"

The two had agreed to have their duel on the night of the full moon, but it's only noon now, and there are still 12 hours until the full moon shines at midnight!

Chen Yun looked at Onizuka Ryu: "Since we're already here, I suggest we move the duel forward and start now, what do you say?"

Onizuka Ryu shook his head: "No! We agreed to duel on the night of the full moon, so it has to start at midnight. Not an hour less, not a minute less, not a second less!"

Chen Yun frowned: "But wouldn't it look silly for the two of us to stand on the mountaintop and wait for 12 hours?"

Onizuka Ryu smiled enigmatically: "Wrong! The fool is you, not me!"

Seeing Chen Yun's puzzled expression.

Onizuka Ryu said smugly, "Because I have been learning ninjutsu since I was a child, and I have been standing here waiting for 12 hours, you ordinary people must be tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty, exhausted and without any fighting spirit."

"For someone like me who has practiced ninjutsu since childhood, 12 hours is no different from 12 minutes."

"So, Chen Yun, just wait until tonight when you're exhausted, then we'll have a final showdown, haha!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Then I saw Chen Yun take a bottle of Red Bull from his pocket and take a sip.

His eyes widened immediately: "How do you have drinks?"

"You mean this?" Chen Yun waved the drink in his hand and smiled. "It's normal for me to carry a drink with me when climbing such a high mountain, right?"

After saying that, he looked at Onizuka Ryu and asked, "What, you didn't bring any water?"

Onizuka Ryu's face turned a deep liver color.

Obviously, he didn't bring it!

Chen Yun looked at Onizuka Ryu as if he were an idiot and shook his head.

Onizuka Ryu almost fainted from anger!
