Out of Control

Qi-like currents constantly surged on Ryuseki's arm, and then these currents slowly surrounded his arm like a layer of armor.

"I am going to make you know the consequences of insulting the person I cherish right now." Ryuseki grabbed Cheng Shun Gong's injured, severed limb with one hand and threw him away. "I am going to slaughter you in my brother's name right now."

A flash of white light was seen, and a huge force struck straight at Ryuseki's chest. In an instant, a large cross appeared on Ryuseki's chest, and Ryuseki was pushed back by this powerful impact.

"Wuwuwuwuwa!"

Ryuseki resisted hard, but such a powerful impact was not something a guy on the level of Cheng Shun Gong from just now could possibly dish out.

Ryuseki was pushed back dozens of meters by this strong force before he managed to deaden the impact of this momentum. Looking at the ground again, there was a neat, wide, and long drag mark.

He raised his head to look at the black figure that had appeared before him and asked, "Who? Who on earth are you, you guy?"

Cheng Shun Gong was also surprised by the sudden appearance of this person, and it looked like this person wasn't someone he had called for either. He stared at that person, yet that figure stood calmly right in the middle between the two of them.

Seeing that person give no reply, Ryuseki roared at him, "Hey~ Don't think I will forgive you just because you don't speak. You are dreaming."

The gloomy dark clouds that originally covered the sky gradually tore open a narrow slit, and a beam of light stabbed in from that not-so-narrow slit. This beam of light illuminated that person, making it possible to see his appearance clearly.

This man was the man who had saved Ryuu Mufei once before, the man wearing that familiar Crimson-brimmed Hat on his head. This time he appeared before Ryuseki again; although it was unclear what his purpose was, his appearance indeed gave Ryuseki no small surprise. After all, in order to track down this man's whereabouts earlier, Lin Yingbin and Ryuu Mufei had spent quite a bit of effort yet gained nothing.

Finally, that man opened his mouth to speak. His tone sounded very indifferent, and he said with a ruthless, heartless chill, "I hope you can let him go!"

Ryuseki glared at that man and Cheng Shun Gong behind him, gave a cold huff, and replied righteously, "Hmph! No way. There is absolutely no way I will let him off."

"Spare people where you can, let him off the hook!" that man replied, yet from his pupils carrying shadows beneath the brim of that hat, one could clearly see the gaze that only a bloodthirsty demon would possess—sharp and full of killing intent. However, this momentum did not make Ryuseki feel oppressed or fearful in the least. But then again, he clearly had this kind of gaze yet was pleading for a guy like that?

"You are being far too naive! Let him go? He is the major criminal who insulted my brother! Insulting reputation is no different from taking away dignity, and I cannot endure having anything snatched away from beside me." Ryuseki suddenly bellowed and roared loudly at the man in the red hat, "This is an unforgivable crime!"

Faced with the opponent's unyielding killing intent, Ryuseki showed no sense of fear whatsoever, and even an even more persistent hatred emanated from his bones.

Seeing Ryuseki look like this, that man lowered his voice and said, "Resonating with that resentment?" Then, he quickly warned Cheng Shun Gong behind him, "Hurry and leave, I will handle things here. If you don't leave, you will be killed by him!"

Hearing his words, Ryuseki grew even more furious, and a large amount of qi began to surging out of his body.

Yet it was not only Ryuseki who was furious; even a guy like Cheng Shun Gong threw an inexplicable tantrum. Perhaps feeling that his self-esteem had suffered a huge blow, he vented his anger and cursed at the man, "Bastard, you underestimate me too much! Just now was merely a moment of carelessness on my part."

Seeing the two of them assume offensive postures toward him, Ryuseki clamored, "What? Could it be that you're also here to throw your life away!"

The man ignored Ryuseki who was in the middle of roaring, and instead warned that fellow behind him, "Get out of here right now!"

"Hehheh, you underestimate me far too much!" Cheng Shun Gong sat up, and next he did something even more suicidal. Disregarding the warning, he actually charged toward Ryuseki and clamored, "Just watch, trash like that can't kill me. I'll cut off his breath right now." Cheng Shun Gong actually struck first, rushing over in a stride.

"Truly hopelessly stupid!" The man stared intently at the man's back.

"Bastard, go to hell!"

Seeing Cheng Shun Gong charge over, Ryuseki also made a corresponding reaction, and the qi erupting from his fist was seen gathering together. It was dangerous; if that fist hit Cheng Shun Gong, it would be dangerous.

He did not sit idly by, rushing up quickly and then kicking Ryuseki away fiercely. Ryuseki was sent flying quite a distance, lying there grimacing, and his fist smashed a large crater into the ground as well. Sure enough, that kind of power was enough to tear Cheng Shun Gong's flesh and bone apart.

Ryuseki suddenly bounced straight up to his feet, looking with full anger at the man who had kicked him away.

The man wearing the hat was also furious, shouting loudly at Cheng Shun Gong, "Are you getting lost or not? Do you think I told you to get lost for your own good?" His voice revealed fierce killing intent within its lowness, and he glared at Cheng Shun Gong with blood-red eyes—that gaze resembling a bloodthirsty demonic beast had already run out of patience.

"Stop meddling in my business, you fellow! Don't think about ordering me around." Cheng Shun Gong also wore a displeased expression; arrogant as he was, he simply could not listen to these words now. Even though he was facing a huge crisis, he had not sensed how dangerous his situation was in the least.

Losing his last shred of patience, that man no longer wanted to say anything more to him.

"Get lost!"

He turned around with a single kick, and then sent him flying out a considerable distance. Breaking tree branches and rolling toward the riverside, at this moment he also passed out due to the violent impact, though this was still much better than losing his life.

"Now then, as for next, I did receive a request. He certainly doesn't want your hands stained with the blood of slaughter!"

Prior to this, Ryuseki had never systematically learned fighting methods. Moreover, Ryuseki's brother Kouhi had also strictly forbidden him from fighting, which was also the reason why he previously did not fight back when beaten. Because his brother knew that a huge and terrifying power was hidden within his body. This power was something Ryuseki could not control right now. If he struck out with someone and once this power was triggered, the destructive force it brought was not something an ordinary person could endure. Cheng Shun Gong had already triggered this power just now, and the current Ryuseki was quite dangerous.

Ryuseki walked toward him slowly.

"Who on earth are you? Why go against me and let him go? Are you also here to snatch away the things I protect?"

His complexion turned ashen, and he was completely devoid of reason now. Stirring up such a troublesome matter, this man was also quite troubled.

"I am called Slumber, and I am a bounty hunter." This man who called himself Slumber and wore the Crimson-brimmed Hat continued, "If you have any objections to me, you can come find me at any time." With that, Slumber wanted to break away from this dangerous situation and let Ryuseki recover his consciousness by himself.

"Wait a minute!" Ryuseki called out to Slumber, who was about to leave: "You let my enemy go, and you still delusionally think you can just leave?"

"Then what else do you want? I've already let the person go!" Slumber turned around and asked coldly, glaring at Ryuseki with his blood-red pupils.

"What do I want? Since you let him go, then it is only right that you die in his place!"
