Su Lai nodded, the priority was still salvaging the body. "Yu Ye, be careful. If this guy knows about the secret passage, he must be very familiar with the terrain here."
"Don't you trust my strength?" Yu Daohen said as he walked towards the back of the mountain.
Zhu Futting's farm was in the countryside, close to the foot of the mountain. Zhu Futting had mentioned a river behind the mountain that connected to the fish ponds.
The mountain wasn't very large, it was a small mountain type, but the river behind it was astonishingly wide.
Yu Daohen walked towards the river behind.
To be honest, with only one eye functional, Yu Daohen didn't dare to directly confront someone of the Tian Zi Bang's strength.
Before he reached the riverbank, he heard the sound of flowing water. Yu Daohen continued forward and soon saw a wide river.
Yu Daohen looked at the swift and wide river, which was much larger than he had imagined and flowing very fast.
Yu Daohen observed the area upstream. The river flowed all the way to the mountain peak, making it like searching for a needle in a haystack to find the secret passage to the fish pond.
After searching for about half an hour, Yu Daohen found a rock and sat down. He thought that if he couldn't find it, he would just go back, as the priority was to retrieve the corpse.
As Yu Daohen got up to leave, he suddenly turned his head sharply in one direction. The Zhenhun Stone short sword strapped to his thigh was swiftly drawn and shot out.
The Zhenhun Stone short sword was deeply embedded in a large tree. A rustling sound came from the forest. Yu Daohen pursued, drawing the Zhenhun Stone short sword from the tree.
The figure's speed was not fast, quite slow, as if injured. Yu Daohen seized the opportunity and thrust the Zhenhun Stone short sword towards the figure's back.
Suddenly, Yu Daohen felt something under his feet being pulled apart. He looked and saw a large log hurtling towards him.
Yu Daohen quickly retreated to dodge the incoming log. Before he could continue his pursuit, he pulled another wire apart. Yu Daohen followed the wire to its end and saw five hand grenades tied together.
As Yu Daohen ducked, he placed a palm on the ground and shouted, "Five Elements Technique, Water Kan Mirror."
As soon as Yu Daohen finished speaking, a pale blue energy wave formed an energy shield, enveloping him.
Bang!
The moment the energy shield formed, the hand grenades exploded, almost simultaneously.
The energy shield shattered like a mirror, and the explosive energy wave sent Yu Daohen flying backward, crashing into a large tree behind him.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz.
Yu Daohen leaned against the tree to stand. His vision began to blur, and a buzzing sound filled his ears. Everything around him became quiet.
Yu Daohen looked down at the ground. He didn't know which part of his body was bleeding, but he saw drops of blood falling onto the ground.
Yu Daohen's heart raced with extreme tension. He had been too careless, not expecting the opponent to have deliberately lured him here.
His body's instinct made him seek cover behind the large tree. Yu Daohen tried to move, but he felt a sharp pain from every part of his body, unsure of where he was injured.
Yu Daohen managed to hide behind the tree and sat down on the ground, his heart pounding wildly. He drew the Kang Long Jian and gripped it tightly.
About five minutes later, Yu Daohen's blurry vision finally cleared, and his tense heart calmed down.
Yu Daohen knew that he had encountered a professional assassin. They wouldn't act rashly unless they were sure the target was dead.
Warm blood flowed down his forehead. Yu Daohen raised his hand to touch it, realizing the pain he felt earlier was from his forehead.
Yu Daohen breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for his quick reaction, otherwise, he would have met his end on the spot.
Yu Daohen tore off a piece of his sleeve to bind his forehead, then gripped the Kang Long Jian and extended it to test the situation.
Bang~
A gunshot rang out from the direction opposite the large tree. Yu Daohen retracted the Kang Long Jian, grinned, and stood up after confirming that no other part of him was injured.
He didn't know the opponent's exact location, and since the opponent had a gun, he couldn't act rashly.
Yu Daohen thought for a long time, then formed a hand seal with one hand and took a deep breath. Honestly, this was the first time Yu Daohen had used this move, and he wasn't sure if it would work.
Yu Daohen suddenly exhaled, but instead of flames, a surge of energy erupted from his mouth.
The Tun Yan Shu also had a use where the inhaled air could be expelled directly without converting it into flames. While it couldn't be used like Tai Lao's lion's roar, it was enough to stir up the dust on the ground.
The dust and soil on the ground were blown up by Yu Daohen, obscuring the surrounding vision.
The man opposite the large tree's expression changed. He raised his gun and aimed at both sides of the tree.
Yu Daohen seized the opportunity, ducked down, and charged out.
Bang~
The man pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out, hitting a large tree directly behind Yu Daohen.
Yu Daohen's lips curled up. It seemed his gamble had paid off. A true hunter would aim for the head to ensure a swift kill, so his decision to duck was correct.
Seeing that he had missed, the man intended to fire a second shot, but a short sword was already lunging towards him.
The speed was so great that the man instinctively raised his gun to block. When he lowered his gun, Yu Daohen had already reached him.
