Hearing Yun Shu’s warning, a couple of smart men took half a step back. But most of them didn’t move at all. In their eyes, they had no reason to be afraid of Yun Shu.

However, the very next moment, they realized how wrong they were. Tendrils of lightning flying off in all directions, Yun Shu moved back and forth in the cave, like a flash of lightning!

Meanwhile, his hands turned into the sharpest claws!

No one could handle even one of his strikes. Cries of pain and agony kept coming out of the narrow cave as the disciples fell onto the ground one by one.

Yet, none of them managed to touch a single strand of Yun Shu’s hair!

Seeing that, Jiang Chun couldn’t believe his eyes. He felt he was in a dream since everything currently happening was totally out of his comprehension. He had no idea why Yun Shu could move so fast!

They were in such a narrow cave!

With so many people standing around, it was even a bit difficult to walk around.

So, how was it possible that Yun Shu could still move like a fish in the water and beat his enemies one by one?

What Jiang Chun didn’t know was how many times Yun Shu had run into the stone walls while practicing. In the past month, he did nothing else but kept throwing himself at the sturdy walls of his shelter.

Most of the disciples were now on the ground, moaning in pain. The rest of them had hurriedly stepped aside and hidden behind the rocks.

“You can kill yourself, or you want me to do it?” said Yun Shu coldly.

Fear seized Jiang Chun, his heart lurching in terror. The look on his face kept changing like a chameleon.

“Yun Shu, don’t be so confident!” said Jiang Chun, gnashing the teeth in anger. “I have reached the ninth level, so you can’t beat me! You leave now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened. We will stay in our own lanes and mind our own business. What do you think?”.

As if he had just told him a joke, Yun Shu sneered. “So, you want me to do it?”

Jiang Chun felt humiliated and raised his tone. “Don’t think I’m afraid of you! I just don’t want to kill you in the valley. It’s against the rules!”

Yun Shu almost burst into laughter. “Rules? When you tried to kill me, where were those so-called rules?”

Jiang Chun hurriedly explained, “But you’re still alive!”

Yun Shu snorted. “I was lucky! You could have killed me—no, you wanted to kill me!”

At this time, a sharp voice interrupted Yun Shu. “Nonsense! You fell out of the cave yourself. Senior Brother Jiang had nothing to do with it!”

Yun Shu frowned. “Get out!” He flashed past Jiang Chun and pulled a man out from behind the rocks. Then, he hurled him into the air.

Before the man fell onto the ground, Yun Shu had come back to the spot where he was standing earlier.

Only now did the disciples finally realize what had happened.

That was so fast!

Jiang Chun’s heart also sank to the bottom. Obviously, Yun Shu was much more powerful than he had initially thought, almost inconceivably so.

The man on the ground tried to get to his feet. It was totally out of his expectation that Yun Shu would spot him from the crowd. Now, his face was written with fear.

Yun Shu recognized that man’s face. “It’s you again.”

The young disciple was the same person who had tried to stop Yun Shu from getting in the cave earlier.

“Senior Brother Jiang, help…” The man was rattled by the supposed loser’s overwhelming pressure.

He had believed that it was alright to support Jiang Chun as long as he was well-concealed in the shadows. However, standing in front of Yun Shu was a totally different story.

At this time, Jiang Chun’s eyes abruptly turned vicious. He walked to the disciple and suddenly reached out his right hand. Violently and ferociously, he pushed the young man toward Yun Shu!

Puff!

That single push made the young man spout a mouthful of blood. Yun Shu quickly stepped aside, frowning out of suspicion.

He died!

Seeing the events unfold, the disciples were all shocked!

They had no idea why Jiang Chun had decided to kill the man out of the blue.

Jiang Chun pointed at Yun Shu and said, “Yun Shu! You are such an impenitent, sinful man! The reason you are sent to this valley is to make you regret what you did, but today, you just killed a disciple right in front of our eyes! You should never be forgiven!”

Jiang Chun then yelled at his men, “Go and inform the two Elders!”

They finally understood what Jiang Chun was doing: he was turning black into white! All of his men would support him and accuse Yun Shu of being the murderer.

Yun Shu could never explain himself!

Yun Shu didn’t expect this at all. His brows furrowed, he ran his mind at full speed to find a response.

After a while, Yun Shu sighed. “Jiang Chun, you’re even more ignoble and wicked than I thought. Still, you got one thing wrong.”

“Really? What is it?” Jiang Chun laughed at Yun Shu.

“This is not my first time taking someone’s life in this valley,” said Yun Shu coldly. “I’m here to kill. What you did doesn’t matter to me at all!”

Everyone present on the scene was stunned.

What did he just say? Killing someone in the valley wasn’t a big deal to him?

Was he an outlaw? Would he kill everyone here?

The disciples suddenly became nervous and fidgety, fearing for their dear lives.

Jiang Chun took a step backward, yelling at Yun Shu, “You know nothing else but running around like a rat! If you have the guts, stand where you are and fight me face to face!”

“No problem.” Yun Shu took a step forward and smacked his straightened hand on Jiang Chun’s palm.

Jiang Chun believed that his chance had come. It was true that Yun Shu was much faster than him. But since his level was higher than his, Jiang Chun was confident that he would win when they fought face to face!

However…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a dozen of strikes from Yun Shu, Jiang Chun retreated to the corner of the cave with his back against the wall.

Yun Shu’s strength was far beyond his wildest imagination. Jiang Chun’s two arms were now totally numb from the force.

Seeing Jiang Chun falling back onto the ground, Yun Shu felt encouraged. Fire Cloud Fiend Technique was so special, it had made him even stronger than the guy who had reached the ninth level!

Jiang Chun’s face had turned ashen by now. His eyes opened wide and stared at Yun Shu. “Junior Brother Yun! We can talk! I’ll—”
