Chapter 203: Good Brother and Good Sister

"Crack!"

A crisp sound, bones shattering!

Jiang Chunlan's chest caved in, and she fell heavily seven or eight meters away.

Just as she landed, Luo Zijun had already arrived before her again.

"Boom!"

Another punch was thrown, piercing directly through her chest.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Ren Jie's voice finally arrived belatedly.

Jiang Chunlan lay on the ground, eyes wide, dying instantly before she could even let out a scream.

The entire process was as fast as lightning.

No one had expected that the other party would suddenly turn back and attack, nor did they expect that he would kill Jiang Chunlan, who had the cultivation of the Martial Artist Third Realm, with just two punches.

Ren Jie and that couple all had their mouths agape, their expressions changing drastically.

"You... you are not at the Martial Artist Second Realm?"

The youth named Zhang Yao said, his voice trembling.

Luo Zijun did not speak and walked straight toward them.

Ren Jie hurriedly said, "Brother Dongfang, I said, I only came to see that Cloud-Stepping Leopard, I didn't say I wanted it. Now that I have finished looking, I will leave immediately."

Having said that, he turned to run.

However, at this very moment, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and the Internal Energy in his body could not be raised.

It was also at this moment that Luo Zijun had already arrived before him, smashing a "boom" of a punch into his throat, directly shattering his throat bone and sending him stumbling backward.

Before he could stand steady, Luo Zijun had already arrived before him again, a cold glint flashing in his hand as he stabbed his heart dozens of times with a "pu-pu-pu" sound.

Zhang Yao and Liu Fang nearby had originally thought that the three of them joining forces should not fear the person before them, but seeing him stabbed without any power to resist, they were instantly terrified to the core, and without any further hesitation, they turned to flee.

Who would have thought that after running only a few steps, a person suddenly walked out from behind a large tree ahead.

Dressed in a red dress, holding a Red Tasseled Spear, with a slender figure and wearing a gas Mask, she looked at them with cold eyes and sneered, "Want to run? Did you ask my Brother Dongfang?"

Luo Zijun, who was chasing with a Dagger in hand: "..."

"Brother Dongfang..."

Zhang Yao immediately turned around, smiling obsequiously, "You and I have no grudges, today..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Zijun had already swept past.

Zhang Yao's expression changed, and just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly discovered his movements had become much slower.

"Boom!"

Luo Zijun smashed a punch into his stomach.

As he bent over and was about to fly backward, he grabbed his hair, and with the other hand, a cold glint flashed as he stabbed his throat dozens of times.

Immediately after, he kicked him flying away.

Blood gushed from Zhang Yao's neck as he fell to the ground.

He scrambled to stand up, covering the bloody hole in his neck with both hands, and turned to flee, but after stumbling a few steps, he suddenly collapsed to the ground and died completely.

At this time, the remaining Liu Fang was already so frightened that her body went limp and her face turned deathly pale.

When Luo Zijun turned around and looked at her, she bent her knees and knelt on the ground, her face deathly pale as she said tremblingly, "Brother... Brother Dongfang, I... I am willing to be your..."

"Boom!"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Zijun had already smashed a punch into her face.

Liu Fang's head jerked up, and she fell backward onto the ground.

Her facial bones were sunken, her mouth and eyes crooked, her appearance hideous, and her skull shattered; she died instantly.

Xu Ziyin, standing in front, suddenly turned pale, her legs trembling uncontrollably, and the red tassel on her spear also shook incessantly.

She quietly took a step back, preparing to flee.

Luo Zijun squatted down in front of Liu Fang, patting her body while saying, "Go help me search the others."

"Oh... oh oh! Okay, Brother Dongfang!"

Xu Ziyin was stunned, immediately put away her Red Tasseled Spear, walked to the others, squatted down, and began to search them, then couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, her heart filled with terror.

This person is so ruthless...

After seeing the terrifying state of the four people's deaths and thinking of this guy's terrifying speed of advancement, she became even more frightened and terrified, no longer having the slightest thought of revenge.

She took out a Storage Bag and hurriedly went over to curry favor, saying, "Brother Dongfang, here you go, the Storage Bag."

Luo Zijun took the Storage Bag, looked at her, and teased, "Why is Miss Xu suddenly so polite, calling me brother?"

Xu Ziyin squeezed out an ugly smile, not knowing how to answer.

Luo Zijun said, "Since Miss Xu has called me brother, and so sweetly, then those two thousand taels of silver will..."

Xu Ziyin's eyes lit up, and she looked at him with full expectation.

Luo Zijun continued, "Let's reduce the repayment a little, just pay me back one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels. Sister Ziyin, do you think that's okay?"

Xu Ziyin's mouth twitched, and she managed a smile, "Mm-hmm... thank you, Brother Dongfang..."

Luo Zijun went to search the other two, found two more Storage Bags, and then took out corpse-dissolving powder and poured it on the four corpses.

Watching the four people who were aggressive just a moment ago turn into four pools of pus in the blink of an eye, Xu Ziyin was even more terrified.

"I still need to go in and look for prey for a while, are you coming with me, or going by yourself?"

Luo Zijun finished cleaning up the corpses and looked at her.

Just as Xu Ziyin was hesitating, she heard him say, "Come with me, your long spear is more convenient when hunting Demon Beasts. If we catch more prey, we will split it fifty-fifty."

Xu Ziyin dared not resist and nodded obediently, "Mm-hmm, I will listen to Brother Dongfang."

Luo Zijun suddenly asked, "Has that brother of yours at home been swindled by women again recently?"

Xu Ziyin lowered her head and sighed, "Yes..."

Luo Zijun was speechless for a moment.

It seemed that fellow Xu Xian was truly beyond saving.

"Let's go."

The two continued walking toward the depths of the mountain forest.

"Have you ever heard of gambling?"

After walking for a while, Luo Zijun suddenly said, "This is just like gambling. As long as there is someone helping him pay off his debts, as long as he isn't completely backed into a corner, he will continue to be swindled. My advice is, don't help him pay his debts anymore, don't worry about him anymore, and let him fend for himself."

Xu Ziyin lowered her head, remained silent for a while, and said, "He will be beaten to death..."

Luo Zijun looked at her and said, "It would be better if he were beaten to death; otherwise, he will keep bringing disaster upon you and your family, won't he?"

Xu Ziyin did not speak again.

Luo Zijun said, "Those swindlers probably won't kill him; at most, they'll give him a beating or pester him every day. You can try ignoring him a few times and see the effect."

Xu Ziyin gave a low "Oh," not knowing if she had taken it to heart or was just being perfunctory.

Luo Zijun did not say anything more either.

After all, it was someone else's family business, and he didn't know much about many things, so he could only offer a few words of advice in passing.

That fellow Xu Xian could be considered his friend, but unfortunately, he didn't know how to handle this kind of matter.

How could one manage things like lechery and stupidity?

Unless one were to castrate him directly.

To be saddled with a family member who is both lecherous and stupid, and who refuses to mend his ways despite repeated instruction, is truly eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Hm?

While the two were walking in the snow, Luo Zijun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks.

Seeing this, Xu Ziyin stopped immediately as well. Just as she was about to ask, the bushes to the side suddenly swayed, and then a behemoth leaped out, let out an angry "Aow," and pounced toward the two.

It was as if a small mountain were crushing down upon them!

Looking closely, it was actually a massive, variegated tiger!

Luo Zijun hurriedly leaped backward to dodge the creature's pounce.

Xu Ziyin, however, was a step too slow and was knocked to the ground by the variegated tiger. Just as the tiger was about to bite her, she rolled her slender body on the snow and rolled out from under the tiger's body.

But just as she stood up, the variegated tiger had already pounced again.

Its speed was as fast as lightning!

"Bang!"

Just as Xu Ziyin was about to raise the Red Tasseled Spear in her hand, her entire body was suddenly swatted away by a heavy tiger paw, crashing heavily into a large tree behind her before falling to the ground in a disheveled heap.

Just as the variegated tiger was about to pounce again, Luo Zijun's fist, fully charged with power, arrived at its side, and with a "Boom," it smashed into the tiger's waist.

The immense force sent the variegated tiger's massive body sliding sideways for a distance before it fell to the ground.

!

However, the variegated tiger simply rolled on the ground and jumped back up, as if it hadn't suffered the slightest injury.

"Aow—"

It suddenly let out an angry roar, its pair of scarlet eyes fixed on Luo Zijun.

Luo Zijun's heart trembled, knowing that this tiger demon had thick skin and flesh and possessed great strength, and was likely someone they couldn't afford to provoke. He immediately grabbed Xu Ziyin from the ground, leaped up, and jumped onto a nearby large tree.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the variegated tiger demon would also suddenly leap up and jump onto the tree.

Luo Zijun immediately used the tree trunk for leverage to jump to another tree in front. Seeing that the variegated tiger was about to follow, he extended his left thumb and "shooed" out several flame flying knives, blocking the tiger demon's path.

The variegated tiger dared not take them head-on and flipped, landing on the ground.

Those flame flying knives struck the tree behind it one after another, and several charred holes immediately appeared on the trunk.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Zijun wrapped one arm around Xu Ziyin's waist while continuing to shoot flame flying knives at the variegated tiger with his other hand. His feet did not stop, and after landing, he continued to run forward.

The variegated tiger chased them for a distance, but seemingly realizing he was not to be trifled with, it stopped.

Luo Zijun did not dare to be careless; he carried Xu Ziyin and ran for another ten-plus miles before leaping up onto a large tree, hiding in the high canopy.

While gasping for breath, he looked down through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Xu Ziyin, with bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, sat on a nearby branch, her gaze silently watching his face, which was partially hidden under his Bamboo Hat.

"Hoo..."

Seeing that the variegated tiger had not followed, Luo Zijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The strength of that tiger demon was likely something that even a cultivator at the Martial Artist Sixth Realm couldn't take down, let alone the two of them.

He couldn't help but think of the big worm on Jingyang Ridge that his brother-in-law had mentioned back then; it was likely also a formidable tiger demon. He wondered if it had already been hunted down by someone.

"Are you alright?"

Luo Zijun turned his head and asked.

Xu Ziyin was staring at him in a daze; hearing this, she came to her senses, lowered her head, and said, "I'm... I'm fine, thank you..."

"Thank who?"

Luo Zijun asked.

Xu Ziyin's cheeks flushed red, and she whispered, "Thank you... Brother Zijun..."

Luo Zijun said, "A life-saving grace should be repaid like a gushing spring. How does Sister Ziyin intend to repay it like a gushing spring?"

Xu Ziyin lowered her head, her pretty face flushed red, and she didn't make a sound.

Luo Zijun reached out his finger to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth and said, "How about..."

Xu Ziyin's lowered eyelashes suddenly trembled, and her cheeks became even redder and hotter.

"How about this, add another one thousand taels, and when the time comes, you pay me back a total of two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, how about that?"

Luo Zijun continued.

Xu Ziyin was startled, raising her pitch-black eyes to look at him.

Just at this moment, a sound of footsteps treading on accumulated snow suddenly came from under the tree, along with the voices of two people talking.

"Junior Sister, there is no one here, just give it to me quickly; I have been holding it in for several days now, I really can't take it anymore."

"You really are a lecher reincarnated; in a place like this, aren't you afraid of it freezing off?"

"Hehe, how could that be..."

Before long, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from below.

Following that, the large tree where Luo Zijun and the other were hiding actually began to tremble slightly, and the accumulated snow fell down with a rustle.

Under the tree, the woman's voice came.

The two looked down through the gaps in the branches and leaves, seeing a woman dressed in blue, hugging the large tree with both arms, bending over with her hips raised, humming a tune in a slurred, unclear manner.

Behind her, a short, fat man was laughing "hehe" and saying some lewd and obscene words.

Luo Zijun looked to his side.

Xu Ziyin had a flushed little face, and her pitch-black eyes happened to be looking at him; seeing his gaze, she immediately lowered her head.

"What are they doing?"

Luo Zijun leaned to her ear and asked in a low voice.

The warm breath he exhaled landed on Xu Ziyin's fair, tender earlobe.

Her body trembled; she kept her head lowered, face flushed, and did not speak.

Luo Zijun said in a low voice again: "Are they fighting? That woman is truly pitiful; she's been beaten to the point of tears and still doesn't dare to run."

Xu Ziyin wanted to laugh but held it back; her cheeks were burning hot, and she cast a sidelong glance at him.

She naturally knew that this fellow was doing it on purpose.

After about two minutes, the sounds under the tree vanished.

The woman straightened up and cursed: "You really are becoming more and more useless; hurry up and go find a doctor to take a look."

The short, fat man laughed "hehe" and said: "That's just because I've been holding it in for too long. Once the mission is completed tonight, find an excuse to come out and go to my place; Senior Brother guarantees he will perform well and keep you satisfied for the whole night."

The woman scoffed and said: "Forget it, bragging again."

Then she added: "Are you sure that scholar will come out tonight?"

The short, fat man fastened his trousers and said: "Rest assured, Jiu Ye said there is a way to make him come out."

"Won't there be any slip-ups?"

"Hmph, what kind of slip-up could there be? Just a weak scholar, if he dies, he dies; who could trace it back to us?"

"But he is, after all, a member of the Bai Family; will there be guards by his side?"

"What kind of bullshit Bai Family member? Just a pretty boy who lives off a woman, a Matrilocal Son-in-law who just married in. How could the Bai Family possibly assign guards to a servant? Even if there are one or two guards, the few of us can handle them..."

"Fine then, let's go back early this afternoon to prepare."

The two spent a while longer whispering intimately under the tree, then the short, fat man suddenly said: "Junior Sister, why do I feel a bit dizzy..."

The woman said with disdain: "As expected, a piece of trash; just once, and you're already dizzy."

"Hehe, it's because Junior Sister is too formidable..."

"Eh, I seem to be a bit dizzy too, it's all your fault..."

Above their heads, the forest wind blew, and snowflakes drifted down.

Along with the snowflakes drifting down, there were also tiny, colorless, and odorless white powders, invisible to the naked eye...

On the treetop.

Luo Zijun's expression shifted; while silently scattering the powder downward, he carefully observed the two people below.

Xu Ziyin, sitting beside him, had her pitch-black eyes fixed on the powder he was rubbing between his thumb and forefinger, her gaze flickering.
