Chapter 546: Chapter 0541: Encircling the Bandits

Chen Yu’s team originally consisted of four people, but with Luo Haotian dead, only three remained. Together with Fu Sanguang’s team of three, that made six.

Among the six, Chen Yu and Fu Sanguang were Silver Emblem Holy Guards. There were also two Copper Badge Holy Guards and two reserve members.

Such a lineup was still incredibly powerful; annihilating the Broken Blade Bandit Group wouldn’t be a problem.

However, behind the Broken Blade Bandit Group lay the Black Prison Alliance and the Blood Moon Organization. If the enemy were to provide full support, Chen Yu and his group were undoubtedly destined to be defeated.

But the red-haired woman had already promised Chen Yu that they would abandon this nest of bandits, allowing Chen Yu to earn merits and clear any suspicions, so as to develop better in the Holy Land. Therefore, Chen Yu had nothing to worry about.

That day, the group arrived at the Mist Forest.

Besides Chen Yu, the others knew about the collusion between the Broken Blade Bandit Group and the Blood Moon Sect and were extremely cautious, not daring to be careless.

In its heyday, the Blood Moon Sect could even shake the Kunyun Sacred Land. Facing such a colossal entity, they had no choice but to be vigilant.

Along the way, Fu Sanguang was very gloomy.

“You’re the leader this time. If anything goes wrong with the mission, it’s your responsibility,” Fu Sanguang thought to himself.

He had decided that he didn’t want any credit this time; he just wanted to cause some trouble for Chen Yu, to make things difficult for him, and he didn’t even care if the mission failed.

“The Broken Blade Bandit Group’s stronghold is just ahead. Let’s encircle them from all sides,” Chen Yu instructed.

“Captain, a few days ago, the Broken Blade Bandit Group went out and slaughtered a family, stealing many treasures and women. Should we rescue them?” the man in yellow robes said.

He had been monitoring this area recently and knew the Broken Blade Bandit Group well.

“We must obviously save the people,” Chen Yu immediately said.

This battle posed no difficulty for him, and he wasn’t worried in his heart.

“Fu Sanguang, you act as the main force later. I’ll go rescue the people first,” Chen Yu said, glancing at Fu Sanguang.

Though Fu Sanguang was reluctant, he could only agree.

Inside the Broken Blade Bandit Group’s lair.

Hundreds of bandits gathered in an open space, and in the sky above stood a middle-aged man with a gallant face, who was Elder Ren Bing from the Black Prison Alliance.

“I never thought that Elder Ren himself would come here,” the big-mouthed burly man said aloud.

“Could it be because Chen Yu appeared nearby? So Elder Ren came specifically to deal with Chen Yu?”

“It must be so,” many people guessed.

Only Elder Ren knew that his visit was not to kill Chen Yu, but rather to help him. It was quite ironic when you thought about it.

When the battle started, Elder Ren and his people would have to pretend to be overpowered and retreat, and most of the people here would end up dead.

When Elder Ren first learned of his mission, he was extremely resentful, but he couldn’t refuse. After thinking about it, he realized that this might not be a bad thing after all.

“You can die without worries; I will avenge you,” Elder Ren sneered to himself.

In the war, he just had to reveal once again that Chen Yu was an undercover agent, and he could take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Yu.

At the same time, he felt somewhat frustrated.

Last time, he arranged for someone to leak the information to Luo Haotian, not expecting Luo Haotian to be so unlucky as to encounter the Blood Moon Organization’s members and get killed.

“This time, I will make sure that you cannot turn the tables and you will die in the Netherworld!” Elder Ren’s heart surged with hatred and murderous intent.

Suddenly, a wailing sound came from the lookout towers outside the bandit group.

“Enemy attack!”

“Enemy attack!”

Explosions erupted around the Broken Blade Bandit Group, with the light of fists, Sword Qi, and shadow of blades bursting forth. The entire bandit group was startled.

“They’re finally here,” Elder Ren had anticipated this.

“Ah…” Screams startled the surroundings.

All six of Chen Yu’s group were in the Guiyuan Realm, extremely powerful, and ordinary bandits had no power to resist.

“Courting death, daring to ambush us,” the big-mouthed burly man roared, charging out with his large saber.

The Copper-skinned Monk didn’t act rashly; he had already learned the inside story from Elder Ren. Amazed and resentful, he was shocked by Chen Yu’s true identity, and resentful because most of the people here, including those from the Unlawful Temple, were about to die miserably for Chen Yu’s achievement.

However, Elder Ren had given him a secret mission; if completed successfully, he could avenge the monks that had died, such as Buyi, Bu Ren, and Buxiao.

“Defend, get in formation…” Elder Ren shouted loudly, commanding the whole scene.

“Old man, you must be the strongest one here,” Fu Sanguang yelled in anger, taking the initiative to attack Elder Ren.

Fu Sanguang had to do the task Chen Yu gave him, otherwise, after going back, if Chen Yu complained to Zou Yuhong, he would be the one in trouble.

“Fu Sanguang!” Elder Ren recognized him, after all, Fu Sanguang was more well-known than Chen Yu.

“It’s just the right time. This man is a Silver Emblem Holy Guard with great strength. I’ll pretend to be no match, then I can retreat,” Elder Ren thought.

Although the outcome of the battle had been predetermined, he couldn’t just retreat outright–that would be too fake.

Therefore, he had to pretend to be unable to withstand the enemy’s attack, get injured, and then retreat.

Fu Sanguang, who had defeated Yun Yingwu at the Talent Tea Party, was an excellent opponent, as his strength was almost the strongest among all the talents.

Whoosh!

Fu Sanguang’s body shimmered with blue starlight, his figure elusive and incredibly fast.

Bang!

Suddenly, Fu Sanguang struck out with his palm. Elder Ren’s claw swept through the air, and a black demonic wind whirled wildly. The two forces violently collided.

“This old man is quite strong. Later, when I pretend to be overpowered and injured, I can fall back and let Chen Yu deal with him.”

Fu Sanguang calculated in his heart.

He certainly wouldn’t go all out to help Chen Yu do good deeds.

When the time came, he planned to pretend to be injured and retreat, and Ren Bing would definitely go after Chen Yu, maybe catching Chen Yu off guard, and with some luck, even kill Chen Yu.

Boom! Bang! Crash!

The two exchanged dozens of moves in rapid succession, black demonic winds and starlight constantly exploding.

“What’s going on? How come this old guy is so weak?”

Fu Sanguang’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

He wanted to feign defeat and injury, but he couldn’t find the right moment because his opponent’s combat power seemed very ordinary.

If he were to be defeated and injured by such an opponent, not only would it look fake, but the others nearby might see through the ruse, and he couldn’t accept it himself.

On the other side, Ren Bing’s eyebrows were also furrowed, and his face was grim.

“Is this all the strength Silver Emblem Holy Guard Fu Sanguang has? Didn’t he cultivate the ‘Three Lights Star Chart’? Why isn’t he going all out? Is he injured?”

Like Fu Sanguang, Ren Bing couldn’t find the right opportunity to pretend to be defeated and retreat.

As an elder, if Fu Sanguang hadn’t even used his ultimate moves and he suffered defeat and injury, that would be too embarrassing.

Both were increasingly frustrated in their hearts, yet they had to endure and continue to entangle…

Elsewhere, Chen Yu infiltrated deeper, charging into an underground dungeon.

There, Chen Yu heard the piercing screams and chatter of women.

“Stop him.”

Several bandits rushed up, their long swords and large knives chopping towards Chen Yu.

Cling clang!

The blades fell upon Chen Yu but didn’t leave even a scratch on him.

Boom!

Chen Yu’s physical strength burst forth, with True Essence Power forming a black shockwave that swept in all directions.

The bandits caught in the shockwave were thrown backward, crashing into walls, coughing up blood, with their fate unknown.

Quickly, Chen Yu arrived at an iron gate, from which a chorus of women’s screams erupted.

Behind the iron gate, three or four dozen women in tattered clothes were locked up, each quite lovely to behold, the youngest no more than thirteen or fourteen.

In another corner lay the naked corpses of three women, soaked in blood as if they had just perished not long ago.

“These scumbags.”

Anger ignited within Chen Yu.

He suddenly felt that the Blood Moon Sect was the side of evil.

But then again, the Black Prison Alliance merely worked for the Blood Moon Organization, and the alliance itself was a remnant force of evil demon paths.

“Who are you? Are you here to save us?”

A girl with clear, somewhat timid eyes softly asked.

“Yes.”

Chen Yu suppressed his rage, palm striking the iron gate to shatter it, and the women inside, overwhelmed with joy, all rushed out.

“Follow me.”

Chen Yu led the way.

They hadn’t gone far when a Copper-skinned Monk leading two early Guiyuan Realm Peak suddenly attacked.

“Courting death.”

Chen Yu bellowed, bursting forth.

“Chen Yu, it’s just a play, don’t actually hit!”

The Copper-skinned Monk watched Chen Yu, winking and whispering.

Chen Yu’s movements stuttered; indeed, this suppression of bandits was a play arranged by the Blood Moon Organization.

There were two main aims: first, to establish Chen Yu’s meritorious service, and second, to allow Chen Yu to avenge himself by giving him the opportunity to kill Ren Bing.

At this moment, with the Copper-skinned Monk’s words, Chen Yu couldn’t help but wonder if this person was someone from within the Blood Moon Organization?

“Captain, you…”

Just then, a faint exclamation came from behind.

The man was a Copper Badge Holy Guard from Fu Sanguang’s team.

He had chased the Copper-skinned Monk deep underground, only to see Chen Yu and the Copper-skinned Monk apparently communicating, their looks suspicious.

At this sensitive time, this Copper Badge Holy Guard thought of the word “traitor.”

“Perhaps Luo Haotian’s death was indeed caused by Chen Yu; this could be a trap. I must tell the others.”

In that instant, myriad thoughts swirled in the Copper Badge Holy Guard’s mind.

“Damn it.”

A fierce look flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes, realizing he’d been tricked.

The Copper-skinned Monk had deliberately lured the Holy Guard here, then revealed Chen Yu’s identity to him.

All this must have been orchestrated by Ren Bing.

“Stop him!”

The Copper-skinned Monk had achieved his goal and immediately gave the order.

As long as they could stop Chen Yu and let that Copper Badge Holy Guard spread the news to the other Holy Guards, Chen Yu would be dead for sure.

“You won’t stop me!”

Chen Yu shouted coldly, slapped his storage bag, and released the Red Flame King.

“Bite them to death.”

Chen Yu issued the command.

“Scram!” the Red Flame King bellowed.

Boom!

Chen Yu’s speed fully erupted, shooting out like a black cannonball.

His fearsome momentum caused the two early Guiyuan Realm Peak to hesitate, not daring to block, and they stepped back, using combat techniques to attack Chen Yu.

Boom! Boom!

Their attacks on Chen Yu shattered like snowballs against a wall.

The Copper-skinned Monk, at the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm, channeled his physical and Buddhist Path powers, transforming into a fierce golden Arhat with arms extended to block the way.

Thud thud! Thud thud thud!

Chen Yu’s heart surged, his speed and strength doubled, whipping up an even more ferocious demonic wind and charging forward with violence.

On contact, an ear-splitting roar erupted, and the Copper-skinned Monk was overturned by Chen Yu, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
