"Who are you, daring to ruin the affairs of our Black Wind Stronghold!" Gu Yueyi scrambled to her feet, wiping the blood from her mouth.

In that brief exchange, he realized that his opponent's cultivation was far superior to his own, so he could only resort to invoking the Black Wind Stronghold's reputation to see if he could intimidate the opponent.

"Black Wind Stronghold?" The red-haired man's eyes widened, then he looked at his brother beside him and burst into laughter. "Did I fucking hear that right? He just said Black Wind Stronghold?"

A group of people burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery and pity.

Gu Yueyi secretly cursed, but he didn't know where the problem lay.

Zuan shook his head inwardly. It was really stupid of him to go to such lengths to set up a honey trap.

The red-haired man was none other than Chen Xuan, whom they had met at the Immortal Abode.

He subconsciously glanced at Qiu Honglei beside him. Although she looked terrified, her eyes remained calm throughout.

Just then, Chen Xuan suddenly turned around and said coldly, "I was wondering why our Black Wind Stronghold's reputation has been declining lately. It turns out it's you guys who are impersonating us and ruining our reputation."

Gu Yue's expression changed drastically: "You...you are..."

The red-haired man said arrogantly, "I'll let you die knowing why. I am Chen Xuan of Black Wind Stronghold!"

Gu Yue swallowed hard and subconsciously glanced at Qiu Honglei beside her.

Qiu Honglei frowned slightly, clearly not expecting Chen Xuan to be so bold as to openly enter the city, especially after showing up in public earlier.

"Senior brother, you should leave quickly," she whispered through her inner energy.

"Ah, what about you?" Gu Yue hesitated, mainly because this junior sister was too beautiful. Leaving her here would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter, and he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

"I have my own way," Qiu Honglei replied quickly, while secretly urging him on.

"Oh well!"

Gu Yue gritted her teeth. After all, her own life was the most important thing. Besides, this junior sister was too mysterious and was usually incomprehensible. Maybe she had some way to protect herself.

Having made up his mind, he jumped directly to Zu An and the other man, holding his knife against them: "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill them with one blow!"

Zu An smiled slightly: "Big brother, didn't you just say that you are also named Chen Xuan? How come you have the same name?"

"Shut up!" Gu Yueyi was both ashamed and angry.

Anger value from Gu Yueyi +345!

He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be so powerful. Legend had it that he was only at the peak of the fifth rank, but in that brief exchange just now, it was clear that he was at the sixth rank!

At this moment, Chen Xuan snorted coldly: "I have no relation to them, yet you're using them to threaten me?"

"Especially that guy surnamed Zu, I wish I could skin him alive and eat his flesh. If you really kill him, I will only thank you."

Gu Yue glanced at Zu An, not expecting this guy to have provoked so much hatred and offended Chen Xuan. It seemed he was doomed today: "Even if you hate this Zu guy, what about Miss Qiu? She is the most beautiful courtesan in Shenxianju. I don't believe you won't be tempted."

Chen Xuan laughed and said, "You're right, this woman is indeed quite good, she's seductive in just the right way, I like her very much."

Hearing his vulgar comment, Qiu Honglei was speechless.

Gu Yue was overjoyed: "Since that's the case, let us leave, or I'll kill her!"

Chen Xuan's face darkened: "Go out and ask around. I, Chen, have always hated being threatened. Even if you kill her, it won't do any good. I'm not afraid of anything. At worst, I'll just have my fun while it's hot, but afterwards I'll skin you alive, piece by piece!"

Gu Yueyi: "..."

Qiu Honglei: "..."

Zuan was also dumbfounded. "While it's hot?"

Is this guy really that twisted?

Just then, Chen Xuan reached out and twisted the knife in Gu Yue's hand, turning it into a twisted pretzel shape.

"A metal-elemental cultivator!"

Zuan had already made up his mind.

Gu Yue reacted quickly, grabbing two companions beside him and throwing them at the other. Then, without hesitation, he jumped into the river. With a light touch of his toes on the water's surface, he had already swung several feet away.

Zu An nodded secretly. This guy's movement skills were quite good; he could easily walk on water. He truly lived up to his rank of fifth grade.

The two companions never expected him to turn on their own people. Shocked and furious, they hurriedly swung their weapons at Chen Xuan, trying to gain a chance to survive.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Xuan neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but instead took a step forward, causing the long swords in the hands of the two men to strike him directly.

The two men were overjoyed, but their expressions immediately changed. The sound of their knives striking each other was not the familiar sound of chopping meat, but the sound of metal clashing against stone. They could even see sparks flying from the blades.

However, this was the last thing they saw, because their necks were grabbed by Chen Xuan's iron-like hand, twisted, and then the two corpses slumped to the ground.

Zuan frowned. Just a moment ago, the other party's body seemed to emit a golden light, as if his whole body had become made of copper and iron. No matter how the other party's knife hit him, it did not leave a mark.

"Invulnerable to swords and spears?"

Zuan felt things were getting tricky. If the opponent was truly invulnerable, he was afraid he would suffer a great loss in a fight.

Chen Xuan, on the other hand, didn't stop at all and quickly chased after Gu Yueyi towards the water's edge, clearly not wanting to let her go.

At this moment, Qiu Honglei seemed to stand up unintentionally, but she blocked his way.

Chen Xuan stopped and looked at her with a slight frown.

Only when you see her up close can you realize how breathtaking her stunning beauty is, and your furrowed brows will unconsciously relax.
