"Isn't it a big surprise?"

"But I originally came here to find you. Who knew I would run into this kind of thing?"

Zhang Ruohan spread her hands, still the same as before, without a shred of airs, looking more like she treated Li Yun as a friend.

"Looking for me?"

"Senior Sister Zhang, you can't be serious... It's so late, oh wait, it's almost dawn, you are looking for me at this time?"

Li Yun glanced at Xu Youwu, who was still coughing up blood, his chest already sunken in. One look and it was clear his life was coming to an end, so he couldn't be bothered with him.

He walked towards Zhang Ruohan.

"Senior Sister Zhang, what do you need me for?"

"We'll talk about that in a moment."

Zhang Ruohan flashed in front of Xu Youwu and waved her delicate hand, lifting Xu Youwu up from a distance.

"Speak!"

"Who sent you to cause trouble for Li Yun?"

"Senior Sister, spare my life..."

Xu Youwu was already filled with fear. He hadn't expected that causing trouble for Li Yun would have such serious consequences. Not only was Li Yun's strength unexpectedly powerful, but now even an Inner Sect Disciple had appeared.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have dared to take that bit of money from Gu Yunzheng even if it killed him.

At a time like this, he didn't dare to hide anything at all.

He directly confessed that Gu Yunzheng had paid him and He Tingfeng to deal with Li Yun.

"Gu Yunzheng?"

"It was actually him!"

Li Yun was genuinely surprised.

To tell the truth, he really hadn't taken Gu Yunzheng seriously. He was actually more worried about Zhao Chuanfeng and Liu Ningkong, because those two were not only Inner Sect Disciples, but crucially, they were also insidious.

He never expected that before those two dangerous guys could come looking for trouble, Gu Yunzheng would be the first to secretly hire someone.

Most importantly, there was actually no life-or-death enmity between him and Gu Yunzheng; at best, it was just a small conflict, and even that conflict stemmed from Gu Yunzheng's own narrow-mindedness.

One could only say... well, damn, this is human nature!

Because of jealousy, fearing that he would steal the spotlight in Courtyard 95 of the Ren Branch, he wanted to secretly teach him a lesson, or even cripple him, forcing him to leave the Heavenly Martial Sect.

What a ridiculous reason!

However, regardless of how absurd this matter was, Li Yun had marked Gu Yunzheng down.

When he found an opportunity, he would have to pay back this debt from tonight.

He wasn't the type of saint who could act like nothing happened after being plotted against.

Therefore, he didn't say another word.

He raised his fist and landed it on Xu Youwu, his Thunderclap Fist Intent slamming fiercely into Xu Youwu's body. Xu Youwu, who was already severely injured, let out a muffled groan and died on the spot!

Having unleashed the Thunderclap Fist Intent twice in a row, Li Yun felt a slight wave of dizziness.

But after shaking his head, he returned to normal.

It must be said that unleashing the Thunderclap Fist Intent twice in a row was indeed quite taxing, but the lethality was quite considerable, which made Li Yun very satisfied.

He was even relieved.

If he hadn't had the spur-of-the-moment idea to sublimate the Thunderclap Fist, he might not have been able to hold out until Zhang Ruohan arrived while facing the combined attack of two Body Tempering Ninth Level opponents, He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu.

His life was not meant to end tonight.

Compared to this, the shock of killing someone for the first time in his life, and taking out two people in a row, was not as intense.

Instead, it made him realize more profoundly that possessing martial power naturally gives rise to a desire to kill.

If a person isn't ruthless, they can't stand firm.

If you don't want to be killed for some inexplicable reason, you have to strike first and kill others.

When faced with life and death, there is no right or wrong!

Zhang Ruohan watched quietly as Li Yun finished off Xu Youwu, neither stopping him nor reprimanding him, though her autumn-water-like bright eyes were sparkling.

"Thunderclap Fist Intent..."

"You actually managed to cultivation the Thunderclap Fist passed on to you by the Huang Huazong to this level in just one day. Your talent is truly unfathomably strong..."

"However, you should still restrain yourself a little in the future."

"Although the Heavenly Martial Sect values rules and places importance on sect regulations, it doesn't mean that certain dark things won't happen. If someone becomes wary of your talent, it is inevitable that they will harbor evil intentions and do some despicable things."

Li Yun quickly cupped his hands, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Zhang, I will be careful."

"You are too polite. Although I have only known you for a short time, there is no need for us to be so distant... Oh, that's right, it's almost dawn. Come with me in a moment to an interesting place."

"Alright... but..."

Li Yun didn't ask where they were going, but his gaze swept towards the corpses of He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu.

Zhang Ruohan knew what he meant and took a small porcelain bottle directly from her bosom.

"Here, this is Corpse Dissolving Powder!"

"Pour a little bit on their wounds, and everything will be left without a trace."

Li Yun's eyes immediately lit up.

Corpse Dissolving Powder?

Good stuff!

He didn't hesitate, took the porcelain bottle, walked to the two corpses, and poured a little onto their wounds.

Spots of white powder fell onto the wounds, instantly emitting a sizzling sound. In a short while, the two corpses turned into a pool of yellowish blood, which seeped directly into the ground.

Even the clothes on the two of them became tattered and rotten.

Zhang Ruohan waved her delicate hand, and a gust of Qi rolled up out of thin air, sweeping up a large amount of fallen leaves to cover it, completely hiding any traces.

It left Li Yun so astonished that he couldn't help but joke.

"Senior Sister Zhang, you are very skilled at this!"

As he spoke, he prepared to return the Corpse Dissolving Powder.

Zhang Ruohan rolled her eyes, "You will be very skilled at it too. No need to return the Corpse Dissolving Powder; it's yours!"

Li Yun was instantly speechless: "..."

What does that mean?

Is she saying that he will need Corpse Dissolving Powder in the future?

Impossible, he is so kind.

But the next second, he still hid the small porcelain bottle containing the Corpse Dissolving Powder in his bosom.

Then, the two of them walked out of the woods side by side.

"Senior Sister Zhang, where are we going?"

"Do you want me to go back and call Zhang Chu?"

Zhang Ruohan rolled her eyes and said crossly, "Why call that kid? With that kid's abilities, it's useless for him to go; he'll just be a nuisance."

"Ah..."

"Stop 'ah'-ing, just come with me first. That place is not within the Heavenly Martial Sect's territory, so it will take some time... Give me your hand."

"Give you my hand?"

Li Yun felt a bit awkward, "Senior Sister Zhang, is that really appropriate..."

Zhang Ruohan glared, "What's inappropriate about it? I, a woman, haven't said anything, yet you, a grown man, are acting all coy. What is that about?"

Damn it!

Upon hearing this, Li Yun's pride was instantly stirred up.

The way she said that, it was as if he were afraid of women. If she wasn't afraid, what did he have to fear?

Li Yun stretched out his hand very decisively.

Zhang Ruohan rolled her eyes, reached out her delicate hand, and took the initiative to grab Li Yun's palm. Instantly, Li Yun's heart fluttered; it was so soft and boneless.

He couldn't help but squeeze it slightly.

Zhang Ruohan just rolled her eyes at him again and didn't say much else. A sudden great force transmitted from her hand as she pulled him, dragging his entire body into the air. In an instant, the two of them sped away like arrows shot from a bow.

Within a few breaths, they had already disappeared from sight.
