"Damn it, I'll just draw my sword and hack!"
The yellow dog's face was filled with shock, but it quickly reacted, tore off a talisman, and bolted, cursing, "Damn it, this stupid idiot, why drag me down when he wants to die!"
Watching the yellow dog, which had already run ten meters away, Zhou Fu's lips curled into a sneer, "Escape?"
Immediately, he formed a hand seal, sucked in a mouthful of air, and spewed out a torrent of flames.
The flames engulfed the entire alley, instantly submerging the yellow dog within them.
"Ah!"
A scream was heard, and the yellow dog fell silent.
As the flames dissipated, a pile of black ash was visible on the ground.
Beside it, Xi Gou, who was kneeling on the ground, clutched his wound, his face ashen, but he dared not cry out.
Zhou Fu, like a god of death, turned his head to look at Xi Gou, who was kneeling on the ground.
Xi Gou endured the immense pain and began to beg for mercy, "Master, I was just joking, really, I swear!"
Zhou Fu's face was devoid of any emotion as he slowly spoke, "Joking?"
Xi Gou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I was joking."
"Such a joke cannot be made."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Fu raised his leg and kicked Xi Gou in the groin.
*Crack...*
With his testicles bursting, Xi Gou was almost knocked unconscious by the unbearable pain.
Watching Xi Gou, who was on the verge of fainting, Zhou Fu swung his sword.
*Thump!*
His head landed on the ground, and blood splattered.
Zhou Fu's expression was blank as he coldly said, "Be more careful when you're a person in your next life."
Sheathing his sword, Zhou Fu turned towards the end of the alley and smiled, "Master, you should be arriving soon. Although I really want to see you, it's probably not possible. After all, I'm not the real Zhou Fu."
Zhou Fu turned and walked away.
Perhaps even he didn't know whether he was Zhou Fu or someone else now.
But no matter who it was, Master was always Master.
A moment after Zhou Fu left, Yu Daohen arrived at the scene. Upon seeing Xi Gui, whose head had been severed, he frowned, "Such swift swordsmanship."
No extra strokes were used; both arms and head were severed with a single cut. This strength was comparable to some experts on the Heaven Ranking.
After analyzing one person, Yu Daohen immediately looked at the street scorched by the flames, and finally at the pile of black ash not far away.
"This is!"
Yu Daohen's expression changed drastically.
How could he not recognize this fiery spell?
He hadn't expected to encounter that kid here.
But judging by the appearance, he didn't want to see him.
Yu Daohen shook his head helplessly.
With his current strength, catching up to the other party would be effortless.
But there was no need. It was enough to know that the kid was fine.
Life was only a hundred years long; there was no need to understand everything.
Perhaps the current life was what the kid desired.
Yu Daohen took out a talisman from his pocket and threw it towards Xi Gou, whose head had been severed.
The talisman ignited instantly upon landing on the corpse.
Seeing this, Yu Daohen turned and left.
On an inconspicuous rooftop in the distance, Zhou Fu watched Yu Daohen's retreating back, a smile appearing on his face, "Master, walk slowly. Don't blame your disciple for not meeting you."
Yu Daohen, who was nearing the end of the alley, suddenly stopped. Without looking back, he smiled faintly.
"You brat."
In the arcade, Feng Ru was full of worry and anxiety, "Ah Yu hasn't returned yet. Could something have happened? No, I should call the police."
As Feng Ru spoke, she took out her phone to call the police.
Yu Yijun's small face broke into a smile, "Auntie, Daddy can't possibly be in trouble. Look, Daddy's back."
Feng Ru looked up and saw Yu Daohen walking over, perfectly fine.
Yu Yijun giggled, "Daddy, did you teach those two bad guys who wanted to take advantage of Auntie a lesson?"
Yu Daohen smiled, patted the little girl's head, and said, "Don't worry, Daddy has taught them a good lesson. They probably won't dare to do it again in their next lives."
"That's good then."
Yu Yijun nodded with satisfaction and giggled.
Seeing that Yu Daohen was unharmed, Feng Ru also breathed a sigh of relief and cautioned, "Brother, don't do such foolish things now. We can call the police and let them handle it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister."
Yu Daohen nodded.
He truly didn't want anything to happen to this woman who treated him like a younger brother.
Yu Yijun looked at Feng Ru beside her and began to act spoiled again, "Auntie, I'm hungry."
Feng Ru's heart melted, and she nodded, saying softly, "Okay, Yunjun, what do you want to eat? Auntie will take you."
Yu Yijun's little brain thought for a moment and blurted out, "Hot pot!"
Feng Ru nodded gently, "Okay, let's have hot pot."
Looking at the two bags of plush toys already filled beside him, Yu Daohen shook his head helplessly, "You guys go ahead. I'll put these plush toys in the car first."
Feng Ru nodded and handed him the car keys, "Alright, you need to hurry. Don't keep the little girl waiting."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Yu Daohen nodded repeatedly and smiled wryly.
He felt like all his love was being taken away by this little girl.
Feng Ru pulled the little girl and walked out, "Let's go, we'll have hot pot first."
"Mhm."
Yu Yijun nodded obediently.
Yu Daohen picked up the two large bags of plush toys, a happy smile on his face.
Perhaps if he really died in battle, this little girl would still be cared for.
All along, Yu Daohen felt he owed this little girl a lot.
He couldn't give her the love of a child from an ordinary family, but now it seemed she was loved by many.
He knew better than anyone the hardships of venturing alone in the martial world.
But fortunately, he had those two people accompanying him.
Yu Daohen now realized how fortunate it was that the little girl had appeared.
Arriving at the parking spot, Yu Daohen placed the two large bags of plush toys into the trunk.
*Ding dong—*
His phone rang.
Yu Daohen suddenly looked at his phone and saw a text message from the Supernatural Bureau.
[The martial world is in turmoil, and villains are rampant. The Supernatural Bureau hereby announces that anyone seen on the wanted list can be apprehended or killed on the spot, whether alive or dead, and will receive a bounty. This is a time of crisis, and we hope all fellow cultivators will contribute—Supernatural Bureau]
There was also a link below the message.
Yu Daohen clicked on it and scrolled down.
There were about two hundred people, and he hadn't reached the bottom yet.
"It seems to be as I guessed."
Yu Daohen murmured, sighing.
The Divine Cult had turned the entire martial world upside down. At this time, most of the Supernatural Bureau's manpower was dealing with the Divine Cult and preparing for the impending war.
And it was at this time that some people always liked to jump out and cause trouble.
There were all sorts of ghosts and monsters in the martial world. With weak restraints, they could do anything.
This was an unchangeable fact; the only solution was to eliminate them.
Whoever dared to jump out would be killed.
However, the situation wasn't that dire, as it was also an opportunity to get rich.
