One Person Against a Clan

The moment he clearly saw the identity of the figure on the city wall.

Chen Guan understood that this was Qin Wanshan's scheme, all to lure Qin Yanran back.

With that thought, he rushed back to the ruined temple without stopping.

And now, Qin Wanshan's letter had already reached her hands.

"Brother Chen, I have to go back and save Mother!"

Qin Yanran wept as she read the letter's contents, then bolted straight out the door.

But Chen Guan blocked her path, "If you go back, you'll die for sure!"

"But I can't just watch Mother come to harm! Brother Chen, I know you have skill; all I ask is that you resolve this matter in Qingshi County!"

She bowed to him, then turned and left without hesitation, her resolve firm.

Chen Guan thought it over and decided to go with her.

He also wanted to see just what the Qin Family was planning!

By exposing himself to the enemy's sight, he could also make them let their guard down.

The moment the two returned to the city, they were immediately surrounded by the Qin Family's men.

"You're finally back. Take them away!"

The Qin Family members, faces gleaming with excitement, escorted them to the Qin estate.

Qin Wanshan had been waiting there for some time. "Do you have anything to say for yourselves?"

"Release my mother! If you want someone to blame, take it out on me!"

Qin Yanran now glared at him with eyes full of hatred.

But Qin Wanshan smirked smugly. "Of course. Your mother hasn't done anything wrong, so I can't do much to her. As long as you hand over the item, I'll spare your life!"

"What exactly do you want?"

Qin Yanran frowned at him.

Qin Wanshan's anger flared. "Still trying to play dumb? That thing has been on you for years—how could you not know? Since you won't hand it over willingly, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With that, he waved his hand.

The surrounding thugs surged forward, ready to strike at Qin Yanran.

But Chen Guan's tall figure stepped in front of her.

"Qin Wanshan, so many men ganging up on one woman—that's not the act of a gentleman!"

His words drew a cold laugh from Qin Wanshan. "Looks like you want to get involved? Fine. I was going to kill you today anyway!"

The Qin Family members attacked again.

The phantom of a dragon-elephant appeared over Chen Guan's body.

He swung the Dragon Elephant Fist into the crowd, showing no fear as the Qin Family's men surrounded him.

Qin Wanshan spotted the jade token at Chen Guan's waist, marking him as part of the Demon Suppressing Division, and a sinister smile curled at his lips.

If he could have a Demon Suppressing Division agent killed here, it would surely be a great merit in the eyes of his superiors!

Chen Guan now carved through the crowd like he was stepping into empty land.

Every punch and kick brimmed with Dragon Elephant Power.

Paired with his Whirlwind Wind Steps, which had reached perfection, no one could withstand his attacks.

Qin Yanran stood behind him, watching his back.

At this moment, Chen Guan stood alone against the entire Qin Family—a bearing unmatched by any.

Just as Chen Guan was sending the Qin Family's underlings fleeing in defeat.

A figure suddenly appeared before him, kicking straight at his chest.

Startled, Chen Guan quickly crossed his arms to block the blow, but he still stumbled back over a dozen steps.

"Some strength! But that's all you've got!"

The man stepped forward with a cold laugh.

Chen Guan looked up and saw a man of imposing bearing and sturdy build.

This was the Qin Family's Top Expert, Qin Huan!

"Brother Chen, be careful! Qin Huan is at the seventh layer of the Blood Forging Realm, and he cultivates the Qin Family's Mystic Rank Low Grade Skill!"

Qin Yanran's warning made Chen Guan nod.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing track next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

For now, his goal was to stall the Qin Family—by this time, someone should have already reached the children.

"Enough talk. Let's fight!"

Chen Guan's words thoroughly provoked Qin Huan's fury.

Qin Huan's body flickered with blue light.

Layer after layer of inner force rippled over him like waves on water.

Then he stomped hard against the ground and charged straight at Chen Guan.

"Looking for death! Water Turtle Fist!"

Qin Huan roared in fury as his fist whistled through the air.

Chen Guan calmly sidestepped his attack with Whirlwind Wind Steps.

A sudden gale swept around them, throwing Qin Huan off balance.

Then Chen Guan appeared behind him and slammed his fist into his back.

Though the blow landed, it didn't injure Qin Huan.

A blue turtle shell materialized on Qin Huan's back, blocking the punch.

"You think that little strength can break my defense? Dream on!"

Qin Huan sneered.

He clenched his right fist, blue inner force coating it entirely.

Taking advantage of Chen Guan's recovery delay, he swung hard at him.

Chen Guan dodged with a furrowed brow, his expression darkening.

This Qin Huan's Water Turtle Skill had formidable defensive power and could even use the opponent's attacks to counter.

Truly hard to guard against.

No wonder Qin Huan was the Qin Family's Top Expert—he really did have skill.

"Chen Guan, this old man advises you to surrender at once! Otherwise, today I'll leave you without a complete corpse. My Qin family has dominated Qingshi County for years—do you think a brat like you can defeat us?"

Qin Wanshan stood up smugly and issued his threat.

But Chen Guan's hawk-like eyes were fixed on Qin Huan before him.

He took a deep breath. He had survived Tushan—he couldn't die here!

[Detected demonic aura nearby. Host is to slay the demon here. Reward: three hundred years of Demon Lifespan.]

The system's voice stunned Chen Guan.

He hadn't expected that there were demons within the Qin family, and in no small number.

This was also the first time the system had given him a mission, and the reward was extremely generous.

"Looks like these people have to die today!"

Chen Guan stretched his body, a playful smile on his face.

When Qin Huan charged again, he dodged with Whirlwind Wind Steps.

The gale around them sent Qin Huan swaying in midair.

In terms of defense, Chen Guan couldn't match him, but in speed, Qin Huan was far behind.

He suddenly appeared above Qin Huan's head.

Extreme Realm Power gathered in his right foot as he stomped down hard on Qin Huan's back.

The tremendous force struck the turtle shell on Qin Huan's back.

Though it didn't injure him, it sent Qin Huan crashing to the ground, unable to struggle.

Chen Guan's fist, brimming with Dragon Elephant Power, smashed down toward his head.

The Water Turtle Skill's defense was all on his back—his head was the weakest point.

"You dare—!"

Qin Wanshan saw this and immediately threatened him.

But Chen Guan's fist still came down hard. With a bang, Qin Huan let out a scream.

Just as Chen Guan thought the fight was over, streams of blue inner force erupted from Qin Huan's body, wrapping around Chen Guan and locking him in place.

Then, a massive wild dog dropped from the rafters, jaws wide, lunging for Chen Guan's throat!
