I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 518 - 125: Heaven and Earth

"The current situation cannot tolerate any more variables."

"None of you want to be hated by the Trauma Company, right?"

These brief words made everyone nod, each harboring their own agenda.

Perhaps Tang Jin from the Nest City Council was the highest-ranked among them. When she spoke, regardless of their reasons, they would somewhat listen.

Thus, the four extended their hands simultaneously, and as the Power of Sequence emerged with the Sur Particles, it formed irresistible chains of light, rushing toward Yun You like flying snakes...

Meanwhile, Yun You also gripped the lotus pattern at her fingertips. Tian En assumed the stance of holding the Balance Scale, ready to fight for her life...

"Hey, hey..."

But at that critical moment, a loud voice suddenly emerged from the shadows in the distance, interrupting everyone's actions.

Subsequently, a figure clad in a black robe slowly appeared in front of Yun You, simply extending a hand in a grasping gesture, controlling all the chains of light.

"It's been many years, and it's surprising that even the affluent nobles in Nest City possess such power."

The black-robed figure examined Galland and the others, smiling slightly before waving his hand casually, sending the four, along with their chains and Sequence Power, flying backward with no resistance, unable to even react in time.

"You... you are..."

Seeing the black-robed figure subdue Galland's group so easily, Yun You hesitated, unable to discern the newcomer's identity.

But soon, the young girl brightened, thinking of someone.

Her senior apprentice brother, Jiang Wuji.

Jiang Wuji was likely a Tier Five Apprentice Death God, and given his strength, defeating four people at once shouldn't be too difficult.

Besides, Jiang Wuji had previously mentioned he would help her deal with those unsolvable troubles.

Now that the high-tier Death Gods were gathered, he certainly wouldn't leave Yun You alone.

Yet... as the black-robed figure turned his head and removed his hood under the moonlight, Yun You hesitated again.

Because this person had a completely unfamiliar face to Yun You.

...

Beneath the black robe was a man about forty years old, with the strong build of an old steel worker, a square forehead, wide cheeks, and a complexion like it was sculpted from mud, with high-altitude redness commonly gracing his cheekbones, reminiscent of ripe persimmons in autumn.

He sported a buzz cut, and amidst the dense half-inch hair, a crescent-shaped scar could faintly be seen, with folds gathering around his neck.

His expression was completely different from Jiang Wuji's. Although he also constantly wore a smile, his smile was that honest and naive grin of a countryside farmer, sincerely amiable, making Yun You remember her parents—perhaps of low social standing, always warm and amiable, evoking no hostility.

As for aura... well, honestly, Yun You didn't sense any strong aura from him.

If he hadn't effortlessly defused the Apprentice Death Gods' power, Yun You might have considered him just an old farmer.

"Heh heh."

The man turned around, glanced at Yun You, and grinned, "Are you alright, sister?"

"I... I'm alright..."

Yun You shook her head, though she still harbored endless questions inside.

It appeared the man seemed to know her and was very familiar with her.

Yet in searching her memory, she couldn't find this simple-looking face.

She attempted using the Information Reconnaissance Chip for searching but couldn't find relevant data quickly.

"As long as you're okay."

The man scratched his head, then turned to look at Galland and the others, smiling, "I don't care what your intention is. All in all, attacking us is not allowed."

"Scram now, and I won't pursue responsibility. But if you don't, then stay here."

His voice was loud and deep, looking straightforward, yet his casual gesture breaking the chains already demonstrated his strength.

Lu Jiufeng retreated the furthest, flying dozens of meters back, even stumbling a bit.

Traveling the World was slightly better, but his feet carved deep grooves in the cement ground.

Tang Jin maintained the most stability, keeping her body's balance, yet also had to retreat.

Galland was probably the most embarrassed; he had already been drained of physical strength by Tian En earlier, and now after that slap, he supported his body with his hands, barely standing up, looking incredulously at the man.

After a while, he collected his disbelief, gritting his teeth, and squeezed out a name from between them.

"Chen... Zaikun!"

"Hero of Heaven and Earth, why are you here?!"

The man referred to as Chen Zaikun smiled, glanced at Yun You beside him.

"You bullied our little girl, and now you ask why I'm here? Isn't that a bit... what was it... a reversal of fortune?"

When those words fell, Yun You's pupils slightly contracted.

She finally understood the man's identity.

Chen Zaikun, one of the Heroes of Calamity.

Unlike the elder brother Jiang Wuji, the "Hero of Chaos," even though the Nest City's archives tried hard to smear him, they couldn't pin any crimes on Chen Zaikun.

Because he never caused trouble in Nest City, but instead actively rescued civilians during numerous Death Domain incidents, helping apprentice Death Gods and Mercenaries from other forces, thus accumulating considerable fame, earning him the name "Hero of Heaven and Earth," becoming a Hero of Heaven and Earth.

He was friendly, never putting on airs with anyone, always showing a simple-natured personality, truly a breath of fresh air among the bloodthirsty apprentice Death God group.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Chen Zaikun's reputation is greater than that of any Nest City Councilor. He's even had living shrines built in his honor among the people.

If he participated in the mayoral election, even without campaigning or spending any money, he could secure at least 30% of the votes.

He's a genuine good man, and also Old Jin's second disciple, Yun You's second senior apprentice.

However, compared to his renown, Chen Zaikun himself is quite low-profile, never boasting about his power, nor promoting his accomplishments, simply doing what he ought to do quietly.

Therefore, even today, few know what Sequence he is, what powers and Sequence Class he holds.

In that regard, he is indeed like Old Jin, perhaps even more so than Jiang Wuji.

"..."

Galland and the others exchanged glances, a bit hesitant.

Though Chen Zaikun's power and realm likely aren't as exaggerated as Jiang Wuji's, Old Jin's second disciple is certainly not to be underestimated either.

If it really comes down to it, none of them could guarantee escaping from this street alive.

Unless...

They call upon Shen Ye and the Hika brother trio, then they might have a chance.

But doing so would escalate the scale of the battle beyond their control.

The full exertion of high-tier Apprentice Death Gods might erase the Steel Forest from the map and impact the surrounding regular city districts.

They don't want to start a battle this soon.

Considering this, Galland gritted his teeth, glaring deeply at Yun You, ultimately fleeing miserably, swallowing all loss and grief.

The Collection Clan has already lost too much; if they don't cut losses in time and lose their lives here, the whole clan might suffer a massive hit, getting eaten whole by other coveting nobles.

"This isn't over, Hero of Heaven and Earth, and those two girls."

"We'll meet again, and the Collection Clan will make you pay then."

With those harsh words, his figure vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, the slick Traveling the World quickly reacted, bowing towards Chen Zaikun and Yun You before escaping without another word.

The violent Lu Jiufeng initially wanted to try again, but after seeing the farmer's bemused expression, he lost confidence and retreated disheartenedly.

Joking aside, none of them knew how long they could last against Chen Zaikun, just one individual might get beaten so severely...

He's wild but not foolish, so decided to flee first...

Regarding Tang Jin...

The girl planned to leave quietly.

But just as she turned, Chen Zaikun sighed, softly spoke...

"Little Third."

"The council might not be a good place for you."

"Teacher never blamed you for your actions back then, so you can return anytime if you wish."

"But if you continue, then... you must be careful."
