Chapter 15 Ruthless
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan stopped and looked at Manager Li, with obvious vigilance in his eyes.

Zhao Shan also slightly distanced himself from Manager Li, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"Master, since we can't escape, what should we do?"

Manager Li suddenly sighed:
"It seems that Wang Cong's death has caused you to misunderstand your master."

"This..." Zhao Shan was embarrassed, "Master must have his own difficulties..."

Manager Li said seriously:

"Wang Cong deceived his superiors and subordinates, bullied his apprentices, and even embezzled money. What's the point of keeping such an unscrupulous person?"

Zhao Shan was surprised:
"So the master already knew what he did?"

Manager Li shook his head:

"Master also discovered this not long ago. Originally, I wanted to wait until this transaction was completed, and then return to destroy Wang Cong's martial arts and expel him from the Fuhu Gang. But I didn't expect that the Black Wind Village would kill people and rob goods. I took advantage of the opportunity and used him as a shield...Master has no choice. If Master is shot to death by Jiang Feng, none of the three of us will be able to escape!"

Zhao Shan suddenly realized:
"I have wronged Master. Wang Cong deserves no pity for his death. Master is just cleaning up the mess!"

Manager Li smiled bitterly and said:

"This is also my fault. I was deceived by his sweet words and raised such a scourge... But now is not the time to talk about this. You and Erniu should run for your lives. I will cover your retreat and stop Wu Dong."

Zhao Shan was horrified:

"Master, why do you say that? They haven't caught up with us yet. We should run away now. We still have a chance to survive!"

Manager Li had a resolute look on his face:
"Stop talking. I am blind and killed my disciple with my own hands. I have no face to live in this world. If I didn't want to escape with you, I would have fought to the death with Xie Quan and would never have waited until now."

"Master!"

Zhao Shan's eyes turned red and he growled.

Manager Li sighed and looked at Zhao Shan carefully:
"Xiaoshan, I still remember when I accepted you as my disciple eight years ago, you were only thirteen years old, dark and skinny. Now you have grown up. If you can go back alive, go find your master's wife. She will give you the secret manual of the Six Yang Kung. How much you can learn from it depends on your luck."

Two lines of hot tears rolled down Zhao Shan's face. Manager Li sighed again:

"The only thing that worries me is Ying'er. She is still young, ignorant of the world, and too naive. It's a pity that I can't see her again before I die. This is fate..."

Zhao Shan's face was covered with tears, and his expression was changing. Manager Li shouted:
"Hurry up and leave! Don't let your teacher down!"

Zhao Shan's eyes suddenly became firm, and he said resolutely:

"Master, I will stay behind to cover our retreat. You and your junior brother can go first!"

Manager Li frowned and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wu Dong is a marrow-refining warrior. How can you stop him?"

Zhao Shan gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't need to stop him. The terrain here is steep and rocky. The bandits will attack from below. I just need to delay him for a while, which is enough for you to escape."

Manager Li shook his head repeatedly:
"No! How can I let you cover your retreat?"

"Hurry up, don't let them run away..."

At this time, Wu Dong's voice could be heard faintly from the bottom of the mountain, much clearer than before.

Zhao Shan said urgently:
"Master accepted me as his disciple and taught me martial arts. I have always remembered Master's kindness. Today is the day for me to repay Master's kindness! I only hope that Master can take care of my parents and brothers after he returns. I will die with my eyes closed!"

Manager Li's expression changed and he sighed:
"Well, don't worry. When I go back, I will report to the main gang and destroy the Black Wind Village to avenge you. I will also take your parents to the Li Mansion and ensure that they have enough food and clothing and spend their old age in peace."

Zhao Shan smiled with relief, turned to look at Chen Yuan, and said:

"Junior brother, you have spent three years refining your bones and have outstanding talent. You should not die here today. After you return, you must practice martial arts diligently and be filial to Master."

Manager Li also urged:
"Erniu, follow me first, and don't let Xiaoshan down."

When the two were discussing just now, Chen Yuan couldn't get a word in and just listened quietly at the side.

At this time, the two of them looked over, but Chen Yuan shook his head and said:
"Master, please forgive me for not being able to obey your order. I think it would be better not to leave this matter to Senior Brother."

A hint of joy flashed across Manager Li's eyes:
"You also want to stay behind to cover our retreat?"

Zhao Shan frowned and rebuked:

"Nonsense! You are new to bone refining and can't even stop Wu Dong. Don't delay, go!"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly:
"Really? I won't survive if I go back anyway, so why not stay and fight the enemy together with my brother?"

Zhao Shan asked doubtfully:
"What do you mean? What do you mean you won't survive if you go back?"

Chen Yuan did not answer, but turned to look at Manager Li and said coldly:
"Master, am I right?"

Manager Li's expression changed slightly:
"How can you say that? When we get back, I will teach you the Six Yang Skill and let you inherit my legacy. Don't waste time, follow me now!"

Chen Yuan sneered:
"Master, you still want to put on an act at this point? You abandoned Manager Zhang and fled, and used Senior Brother Wang as a shield. If these two things spread among the gang, how will the Law Enforcement Hall punish you? You don't want Senior Brother Zhao and I to return alive, do you?"

Zhao Shan's face changed, he took two steps back and looked at Manager Li.

Manager Li forced a smile:
"How is that possible! If I thought so, why would I offer to cover our retreat?" Chen Yuan said coldly:
"You were just acting out a sad story just now, trying to impress Brother. You know in your heart that he respects you very much and would never bear to see you stay and die. You have known about Wang Cong's many bad deeds for a long time, right? But you still indulged him and made him do all these dirty work for you. In the end, you were so cruel that you used him as a shield. How could he take the initiative to cover for me and Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Shan asked:

"Master, is this true?"

Manager Li ignored him, switched the Autumn Water Sword to his left hand, and stared at Chen Yuan with an unusually cold gaze:
"You have been hunting geese all day, but you are pecked by them. It turns out that you have been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. You pretend to be simple and foolish, but you are actually very smart."

Chen Yuan sneered:
"Haha, same here. You are pretending to be a kind and benevolent elder, but you are actually cold and heartless."

Zhao Shan stared at Manager Li's face and said in a trembling voice:
"Master, is this true?"

Facing Zhao Shan's repeated questioning, Manager Li still ignored him, stared at Chen Yuan, and asked:
"Wu Dong is about to catch up with us. If you expose the matter now, aren't you afraid of being killed by the bandits?"

Chen Yuan said:

"We're going to fall out sooner or later. If I go with you, it will only be more dangerous."

"In that case, let's go our separate ways. Life and death will be left to fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Li turned around and was about to continue fleeing up the mountain, but Chen Yuan stretched out his long sword and blocked his way:

"and many more!"

Manager Li stopped and frowned:
"Why, do you still want to fight me? This will only benefit the bandits."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said:

"We've already fallen out, how could I let you go back?"

A fierce look flashed across Manager Li's eyes, and he swung his Autumn Water Sword:
"Then let's meet Zhenzhang!"

After saying that, he moved his feet, his figure was as ethereal as smoke, and he thrust his sword at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's expression became serious, and he was about to raise his sword to fight.

But at this moment, there was a rustling sound in the forest, the thorns parted, and a group of people rushed out. They were Wu Dong and his four companions.

Manager Li put away his sword and turned around, and Chen Yuan also stopped.

Wu Dong held a ghost-head knife in his hand and laughed:

"Haha, I didn't expect to see a good show of internal strife between master and apprentice. It saves a lot of effort! Li Yong, I asked you to use your apprentice to block the arrow, isn't this retribution coming?"

Manager Li looked very unhappy. He took a deep breath and turned to look at Chen Yuan:
"Since you dare to challenge me, your strength should not be as simple as a beginner in bone refining, right? No matter what grudges we have, let's put them aside for now. I will hold Wu Dong hostage, and you and Zhao Shan will kill the three bone refining bandits, and then come to help me. After we get rid of Wu Dong, we can talk about other things. How do you think?"

Chen Yuan slowly drew out his long sword, glanced at him sideways, and said:
"No need to go through so much trouble. I'll deal with the bandits first, and then I'll deal with you!"

After saying that, he grasped the hilt of the long sword with both hands, exerted force on his feet, took three steps forward, rushed towards Wu Dong, and chopped him down with the sword!

call!
The blade broke through the wind with a loud sound. Wu Dong raised his sword to fight back, grinning:

"You are just a bone refiner, and you dare to attack me!"

He did not take Chen Yuan seriously at all, and swung the ghost-head knife diagonally, taking the initiative and slashing at Chen Yuan's knife-holding hands.

But unexpectedly, Chen Yuan's knife was so fast that it reached Wu Dong's head in an instant.

Wu Dong's face turned pale and he had to fight back with his sword.

clang!
The two swords collided, Wu Dong's palm was cracked, the ghost-head sword in his hand flew out of his hand into the sky, and he himself flew backwards. The long sword in Chen Yuan's hand was also broken into two pieces.

The force of Chen Yuan's sword was so powerful!

Wu Dong was horrified and hurriedly used a heavy weight, but after landing he still staggered back three or five steps, spurting out a mouthful of blood before he could barely steady himself.

Bang!
Chen Yuan stomped his foot on the ground, rushed towards Wu Dong, and attacked him with the Black Tiger Heart-piercing Move from his Subduing Tiger Fist.

The punch was simple and crude, but it was extremely ferocious.

Wu Dong's strength was dissipated, and in a hurry, he could only fold his hands and block in front of him.

Click!

Chen Yuan punched Wu Dong's right forearm hard. Wu Dong screamed, and both his arms were broken. He flew backwards again, and his posture was completely messed up.

Chen Yuan rushed forward, his left hand was like a knife, and it was as powerful as lightning, chopping across Wu Dong's throat!
Snapped!
"Uh uh..."

Wu Dong's eyes bulged out and he let out two roars, like a bellows with a leak. He grabbed in the air twice with his hands, then dropped them and fell softly to the ground.

Clang!
The ghost-head knife that flew into the sky fell down and landed beside Wu Dong.

Chen Yuan picked up the ghost-head knife, turned around and rushed towards the remaining three bandits.

The three Bone Refining Bandits were horrified and turned around and ran into the woods.
