I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 21 Take Action!

Upon hearing this, Yu Xunteng immediately stood up straight, his entire face clearly showing his displeasure.

"No, if you're going to fight, then fight. What's the point of a personal attack?"

The masked man, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, finished the cigarette in just a few puffs.

"Aim for the mouth, don't miss."

Upon hearing this arrangement, Yu Xun immediately objected and quickly spoke up.

"Why hit someone in the face? You guys in the underworld, why don't you follow the rules?"

The masked man and his accomplice stared at each other blankly.

When did this rule come into being in the underworld?

Besides, we're all just ordinary people, shouldn't we be able to do whatever we want, however it's convenient?

Taking advantage of the moment when the theft gang was stunned.

Standing behind Yu Xun, Chi Le's cold eyes swept around, calmly observing the size of each person and their position.

His strength is no match for Yu Xun, who has been to the bizarre world and gained extraordinary abilities, and he is even inferior to the street thugs who have been fighting for years.

What Chi Le can do is to quickly use his brain to find the most feasible solutions and formulate an action plan.

Soon, Chi Le leaned close to Yu Xun and whispered in his ear.

"The other side has a large number of people, so the sheriff may not be able to find this place quickly."

"We definitely have to take action."

"Do you remember what I said during that fight back then?"

Yu Xun remained expressionless, but shrank his head back a few inches.

"Of course I remember."

"You only pick on the softest persimmons, and beat the worst one."

Chi Le nodded.

"When we make our move, we'll start by hitting the long-haired man with the short stick and take his stick."

"Take down the long-haired man and break out from there. If you get surrounded, you can forget about winning."

"Also, be ruthless and quick. We don't need to scare them all out of their wits, but if we can reduce the number of people who are too afraid to act, we'll all benefit."

Yu Xun kept Chi Le's words firmly in mind.

The next moment, the masked man threw away his cigarette butt and shouted coldly in the alley.

"Dry them to death!"

The still-burning cigarette butt fell to the ground, and orange fireworks burst open at that moment.

Steel pipes and iron rods attacked Chi Le and Yu Xun from all directions.

One of the short, cold sticks pierced the air, emitting a series of piercing whistles, heading straight for Chi Le's head.

Chi Le remained calm, his indifferent eyes merely glancing casually at the long-haired boy who was swinging a stick at him.

For some reason, the boy who was being looked at suddenly got goosebumps on his arm holding the stick.

It felt as if the person about to be hit on the head by this stick was not the calm young man in front of him, but himself.

But the weapon was clearly in his hand, and the stick was about to blow the young man's head off.

Pretend?

What the hell are you pretending for!

An unnamed fire rose in the heart of the delinquent youth.

It completely burned away the fear that had inexplicably risen in his heart, and he unleashed all the remaining strength he had been holding back.

If this blow had landed squarely on an ordinary person, it wouldn't have resulted in just bruises and discoloration.

Even a slight scrape or bump can result in a minor bone fracture or, in severe cases, a comminuted fracture.

But the screams and the crisp cracking of bones that the boy had expected did not come.

Instead, a man's wild laughter filled the air.

"Hahaha, Ah Le, did you see my skills? Aren't I awesome!"

The boy looked closely and saw a scene he had never witnessed in all his fighting career.

The burly man named Yu Xun carried two steel pipes as thick as his wrists on his right arm, and an iron rod on his back and at his waist.

With his left hand, he easily caught the iron rod that had been slammed down with all his might.

Not only did he remain silent, but he could also laugh.

Is this guy even human?

The long-haired boy stared wide-eyed, not yet able to process what he had just witnessed.

Yu Xun had already turned his head and stared at him.

"You little brat, daring to lay a hand on Ah Le."

Yu Xun shook his hand, and the stick pressing down on him was immediately shaken off.

Many thugs were so shaken by the recoil that their hands went numb.

The long-haired boy's iron rod flew out of his hand in an instant.

Yu Xun took a step forward and grabbed the long-haired boy by the neck with one hand.

It was as easy as picking up a chick.

Heh heh...

His throat squeezed the air, making a strange, hissing sound.

It was like a deflated plastic bottle being stepped on again.

"Big brother...big brother, spare me!"

Due to a brief lack of oxygen, the long-haired boy's hand was too weak to pat Yu Xun's muscular arm.

The long-haired boy, whose face was already turning blue and purple, pleaded for mercy with great difficulty.

Yu Xun never intended to kill anyone.

He tossed it casually.

The long-haired boy slammed hard against the wall of the alley.

The entire wall shook several times as if it had been hit by a cannonball, and dust and debris fell down together.

It was placed over the long-haired boy who was curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

Ignoring the filth on his body, the long-haired boy coughed violently, greedily inhaling the air.

He swore that after all these years in the business, this was the first time he had ever come so close to death.

With the example set by this long-haired boy, the group of street thugs wielding guns and clubs dared not step forward.

They stared at each other, their faces filled with fear and confusion.

If I'm not mistaken, he just picked up the long-haired monkey with one hand and slammed it against the wall two meters away.

Is this thing even human?

We worship Guan Yu, but that doesn't mean we have to fight to the death when facing something like this!

A few peanuts, and you're this drunk?

"What are you all standing there for?!"

"They remember what we look like. If we let these two kids go, they'll report us to the sheriff, and we'll all be in big trouble!"

The masked man, his face contorted with rage, began hurling insults at the remaining men.

"Get him, all of you! We still have nine men. Surely we can't beat two punks?"

The masked man, as expected of the leader of this group of thugs, managed to solidify their wavering resolve with just a few simple words, even sharpening their gazes.

"Get him!"

"Nine against two, the advantage is in my hands!"

"Everyone, let's attack together!"

A group of men, looking menacing, raised steel rods, ready to swing them at Yu Xun.

The deafening force seemed to affect the streetlights not far away.

The streetlights flickered, their brightness fluctuating.

Seeing this scene, Yu Xun dared not exaggerate and got into a good position.

Despite enduring so many iron rods and steel pipes, Yu Xun merely pretended to be relaxed.

If it weren't for wanting to appear important in front of Chi Le, he would have been writhing on the ground like a maggot long ago.

The alley is not wide and the terrain is narrow. As long as you stand in the middle, you will only need to face a maximum of three people from beginning to end.

Yu Xun used his brilliant mind to analyze this point.

He smiled confidently.

This is going to be a fight!

But after waiting for a while, apart from Chi Le, himself, and the long-haired man who had been slammed against the wall at the beginning and was still groaning, there was no one else around.

Now, the alley is so quiet that you can hear the faint noise from the commercial street.

Yu Xun looked around the alley, but there wasn't a trace of anyone there.

As for the area outside the alley, it was blocked by layers of walls.

Just before they were about to make their move, the group of thugs, including the masked man, all chose to run away at the same time, and they did so very decisively.

It's likely that while they were chanting slogans, they had already planned their escape route, taking advantage of the brief moment when the lights were flashing to flee into the depths of the alley.

"Tsk, they've disappeared so quickly. Ah Le, what do we do now? I want to chase after them."

Seeing Yu Xun's determined gaze, Chi Le's words of refusal stuck in her throat.

He knew that Yu Xun was probably out of his mind.

Are you confident?

In the end, Chi Le simply asked one question.

Looking into Chi Le's calm eyes, the fervor in Yu Xun's eyes subsided somewhat, and he nodded in reply.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't use a knife, you can't do anything to me."

Chi Le didn't say anything more, but simply closed her eyes and carefully sensed her surroundings.

Since he fell into the bizarre world and obtained the Green Mountain Temple.

He had a particularly clear understanding of the daytime returnees who had traveled from the mortal world to the bizarre world.

Even if the distance is a bit far, as long as he concentrates, he can always catch the slightest trace of the trail.

What's more, it was the masked man I had just been in contact with for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked at the end of the path on his right.

He sensed it.

The daytime chill lingers on a person's body.
