132: Did they jump over the wall in desperation right from the start?
What about the plan to deny everything?
What about the plan to try bribery if denial failed?
How did it fast-forward directly to the 'desperate dog jumping over the wall' stage...
Things were not developing as expected at all. Chu Yuan's gaze was icy, and waves of seven-colored ripples spread out, rendering the entire mine like a heavenly kingdom.
Most of the power was directed toward Dong Jianyuan. His body swayed, and he nearly lost his footing in the air.
"Mental Martial Skill!?" Dong Jianyuan felt as if his head were splitting apart; finally, an expression appeared on his face, looking distorted.
A miscalculation!
He had originally thought that woman was the biggest threat, but he hadn't expected this sharp-tongued youth to be the most troublesome one!
"Quick... kill him!" Dong Jianyuan clutched his head and hissed in a low voice.
Faint flames emerged from his body. It seemed he could finally no longer endure this pain, and massive energy surged out from within him, wantonly destroying everything around him!
The first to bear the brunt were the group of miners standing below.
Their Realm was low, and in such an energy storm, they were blown away with almost no power to resist. Many crashed into the mountain wall and died instantly...
"Are you trying to rebel!?" Chu Yuan shouted in a low voice.
He didn't care about having a few more enemies, but judging from the reactions of the others in the Blazing Fire Squad, they were also caught off guard by Dong Jianyuan's sudden madness.
As he spoke, ink shadow had already swept out from his side, piercing toward Dong Jianyuan's chest at a speed invisible to the naked eye!
"Captain, watch out!" A short-haired woman exclaimed, then gritted her teeth and looked at Chu Yuan, as if she had made a difficult decision.
She stepped forward, and the long sword at her waist was drawn.
Her figure suddenly shot out, colliding toward Chu Yuan like a meteor!
Chu Yuan's expression grew even colder. There really were people with poor judgment, stubbornly following one path to the end?
"What are you waiting for!? The Military Law Department won't listen to our excuses!
Kill them, slaughter the mine, and push everything onto the Crystal Fire Clan, and maybe we can talk our way out of this! If we truly surrender, there will be no future for us!" the short-haired woman urged in a hurried tone.
As if awakened from a dream, the gloomy man and the burly man no longer cared about their anger and immediately made a decision! They charged toward Chu Yuan!
They were indeed coerced by Dong Jianyuan's actions.
Originally, even if it was embezzlement or oppression... it would only result in having their assets confiscated and being assigned a few dangerous missions to atone for their crimes.
If they died, they died; if they lived, the matter would pass.
So even if they panicked, they weren't particularly panicked.
Besides, it could still be negotiated, couldn't it?
But Dong Jianyuan's brazen attack directly solidified the act of 'attacking an Inspector'.
According to military discipline, even if they didn't die, they would be thrown into the cannon fodder camp... Don't even try to say it was all Dong Jianyuan's doing and they were unaware.
The squad was originally a case of "all prosper or all suffer together"...
Moreover, what the short-haired woman said was very feasible.
The Fire Burning Mountain Range was already dangerous, and it just so happened that a Crystal Fire Clan squad had infiltrated the mine and taken the opportunity to ambush the Inspector... Wasn't that very reasonable?
"That's a well-spun story, save it for your next life." Chu Yuan raised the terminal on his wrist, from which Zhang Yue's stern voice was coming: "Blazing Fire Squad..."
He wasn't stupid, so he had immediately notified Zhang Yue.
Otherwise, if someone later falsely accused him of seeing the fire flame gold and acting out of greed, it would be a troublesome affair, big or small.
The incident happened too suddenly, and he and Li Mengru hadn't had time to collect evidence of their crimes yet.
The short-haired woman froze. How could she not recognize Zhang Yue's voice? Her face immediately turned deathly pale.
Just then, a seven-colored ripple swept past, and her head exploded like a watermelon!
The good news was that she didn't need to worry about being dealt with by the Military Law Department anymore...
The gloomy man and the burly man also stumbled, their expressions filled with panic.
But suddenly, a long blade stabbed into the burly man's back from behind!
He had already been severely injured by Li Mengru, so naturally, he didn't react in time.
"Old Hu!?" The gloomy man couldn't believe it, his voice trembling.
The last member of the Blazing Fire Squad, an unremarkable middle-aged man, moved his lips twice and whispered: "Sorry... my family is still on Earth Star, I cannot be with you all..."
Immediately, energy erupted from the long blade, blood mist flew everywhere, and a large hole appeared in the burly man's chest, almost severing his body in two...
Chu Yuan took a deep look at this ordinary middle-aged man.
He hadn't turned against them only after hearing Zhang Yue's voice; when the short-haired woman launched her attack, this Old Hu had already made his move.
It was just that no one expected Chu Yuan to be so strong.
Whether it was the script the short-haired woman had improvised or Old Hu's attempt to atone for his crimes... it all seemed insignificant...
Including Dong Jianyuan...
The gloomy man suddenly moved, flying toward the distance.
However, it wasn't in the direction of Dawn City, but in another direction... the territory of the Crystal Fire Clan!
Chu Yuan didn't care what he was thinking and activated his Divine Sense again.
Amidst the seven-colored mist, his figure fell down cleanly and decisively like a bird with broken wings...
"Watch him."
Old Hu nodded silently and headed toward the place where the gloomy man had fallen...
After casually dealing with a few small fries, Chu Yuan looked at Dong Jianyuan again.
ink shadow flew back to his side, with bloodstains on the sword's edge.
Because he had just attacked the short-haired woman and the gloomy man, the suppression of the Glazed Void Domain on Dong Jianyuan had slightly decreased, giving him more room to resist.
So although his appearance was a bit disheveled now, his injuries were not fatal...
After all, Chu Yuan hadn't truly advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage yet; although he could kill a Fifth Realm in one move, he couldn't kill a Sixth Realm in one move...
But it didn't matter; if one move didn't work, he would just use another.
"Who exactly are you?" Dong Jianyuan's expression was incomparably gloomy; he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stared fixedly at Chu Yuan.
This youth-looking Martial Artist definitely hadn't reached the Sixth Realm, but... why did he have no power to fight back in front of him?
The mental attack was already terrifying enough.
How did that long sword manage to be commanded as easily as an arm?
His own Nirvana Realm strength... couldn't beat a sword?
Chu Yuan was worried about Li Mengru's situation and had no time to waste words with him.
He activated the Riding the Wind Sword Control Art again!
Only this time, the Golden Core within his body spun crazily, as if it had established a connection with the external world.
A gust of wild wind appeared out of nowhere, sweeping through the Fire Burning Mountain Range, blowing Dong Jianyuan's clothes until they fluttered violently.
He looked at Chu Yuan, but it was as if he couldn't sense his presence in his perception; there was only an incomparably heavy sense of palpitation.
It was as if an ordinary person were facing a natural disaster... His opponent wasn't some living being, but heaven, earth, and nature itself!
Run!
This thought rose in Dong Jianyuan's heart...
"Wind Chant!"
