A Single Punch to Kill! The Mastermind!

The girl was seized into the air, nearly suffocating.

Her face turned a livid purple. She grabbed Wu Yu's hand, yet she could not break free at all.

The sight left Yu Tiezhu stunned, at a complete loss.

At that moment, Brother Kun, the blue-haired young man standing beside him, began to whisper poison into his ear.

"Wu Tian is your enemy. He forced himself on your daughter—your most beloved daughter!"

"Go kill him! Kill him!"

Hearing that,

Yu Tiezhu's face flushed red, pain and murderous intent surfacing across it.

The next moment!

He roared, spun around, and smashed a fist into Brother Kun's head!

Bang—!

Before he could even scream, Brother Kun's neck snapped, and his head was driven into his chest.

Pfft!

Blood splashed everywhere, dyeing Yu Tiezhu's body red.

His skin carried a grayish-white hue, and his arms seemed forged from iron. Every movement he made was astonishing.

"You shouldn't have insulted my daughter!"

Elsewhere, Wu Yu looked at the girl.

Under his gaze, several [Bi Fang Sigils] silently imprinted themselves upon her body.

Just as the girl was about to suffocate to death, Wu Yu suddenly let go and threw her to the ground.

With a bang,

The dagger hidden in the girl's sleeve fell to one side.

"Cough! Cough!"

The girl gasped a few times and shakily climbed to her feet.

"I'm sorry, Brother Wu... I-I don't know why either!"

"It must have been Brother Kun."

Yu Tiezhu shot the corpse on the ground a hate-filled look and said coldly, "That beast!"

"Mm... right!"

Wu Yu paused, then said loudly, "It had to be that brat! He got what he deserved."

"Exactly. He had it coming!"

Yu Tiezhu cursed, then nervously glanced at Wu Yu.

Remembering that Wu Yu had supported his act of killing Brother Kun, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

After all, this was murder!

"All right, I won't blame you."

Wu Yu smiled at the girl and asked, "Did you happen to see a golden treasure chest?"

"I know where it is!"

The girl hurriedly pointed at a pile of dry grass not far away.

"When I was looking for somewhere to hide earlier, I saw a golden treasure chest inside!"

"Oh? That's wonderful!"

Wu Yu chuckled. "Consider it a chance to atone for your crimes. Go find that treasure chest!"

"Thank you, Brother Wu!"

The girl was overjoyed and ran over in big strides.

Wu Yu gave Yu Tiezhu a look and slowly followed. Small stones quietly slipped from his hand, rolling in all directions while wrapped in crimson energy.

Chen Lingling pushed aside the nearby pile of dry grass, revealing an enormous Golden Treasure Chest!

"What a huge chest!"

Yu Tiezhu clicked his tongue, his tall body blocking the way out.

"Brother Wu, this chest needs a key to open."

The girl spoke timidly.

"Hey! I picked up a Treasure Chest Key on the way here!"

Wu Yu smiled and took out the [Treasure Chest Key] as he walked over.

"Brother Wu!"

Seeing Wu Yu approach, the girl hurriedly moved aside and stood obediently at the edge.

As if completely unguarded, Wu Yu turned his back to the girl and inserted the key into the treasure chest's lock.

[Golden Treasure Chest]

Opening countdown: 29 minutes 59 seconds!

As they watched the time tick away second by second,

Yu Tiezhu exclaimed in amazement, "This treasure chest is strange too. Needing a key would be one thing, but we have to wait half an hour as well!"

"If this were on a battlefield, wouldn't whoever opened it get beaten up?"

"Right, but there are no enemies now."

Wu Yu spoke slowly.

Yu Tiezhu scratched his head and waited at the side.

Half an hour later.

As the final seconds passed, the Treasure Chest Key vanished, and the Golden Treasure Chest opened a crack!

The sight made everyone's eyes light up.

Wu Yu moved to open the chest, but Chen Lingling suddenly struck from the side, pouncing toward him.

Blue mist suddenly rose from her body!

"Watch out!"

Yu Tiezhu cried out.

But before his words had faded, Wu Yu raised his leg as though he had foreseen it and kicked the girl in the body!

Bang—!

The girl's petite body flew more than ten meters away as though she had been struck by a truck, crashing into several large boxes filled with bones.

"Uh..."

Yu Tiezhu ran over, utterly bewildered.

No... wasn't his strength wrong somehow?

Suddenly, the sound of something slicing through the air rang out!

Footsteps sounded from the passage. One after another, spectral tiger-servant figures appeared, drawing their bows and firing!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

An arrow rain came flying over. Yu Tiezhu hurriedly stood before Wu Yu, blocking most of the arrows!

The arrows struck his body without even piercing his skin.

A golden shield had already appeared around Wu Yu behind him, but it had not been needed at all.

Soon, a great number of tiger-servants flooded in.

Behind them, a figure slowly approached, holding an instrument in his hand.

"It's you!?"

Yu Tiezhu was horrified.

"Aren't you dead?"

The person before them was actually that fat chef!

The latter chuckled and mocked, "With a brain like yours, naturally you wouldn't understand."

"On the contrary, this young man calling himself Wu Tian... should have figured it out."

He toyed with the instrument in his hand and smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, you were still far too careless! You could never have imagined who your enemy was."

The mysterious instrument in the fat chef's hand emitted a crisp sound.

"Beep—! Psionic energy and signals have been blocked!"

At this sight,

Wu Yu said, "The Inspection Bureau's latest deep-space jammer. It costs around two million and is restricted from free-market trading. It blocks gunpowder, Psionic Bombs, and signal-based items within its magnetic field."

Hearing this, the fat chef gave Wu Yu a surprised look and asked doubtfully, "You aren't afraid?"

"If I were afraid... would you let us go?"

Wu Yu smiled faintly.

"Step away from the treasure chest, and I'll spare your lives."

The fat chef clapped his hands. The tiger-servants scattered apart, opening a path.

The girl also climbed up from the ground and went to stand beside the fat chef.

"You believe that yourself?"

Wu Yu chuckled. "A clone, or a flesh-and-blood puppet? The one from the beginning was fake. You used a fake body to deceive everyone while hiding behind the scenes and plotting against us."

"I knew you were a smart man!"

The fat chef rubbed his head and said helplessly, "What a pity. You still have to die here today."

As soon as he finished speaking!

The tiger-servants burst forth and charged in to kill!

Unlike Mountain Lord's subordinates, these tiger-servants had lifeless eyes and feared neither death nor pain!

Several Transcendent tiger-servants lunged at Yu Tiezhu. He fought back with all his might, but was instantly pinned down. The powerful Transcendent tiger-servants knocked Yu Tiezhu to the ground with fists and kicks.

"Hehe, your ability has something to do with favorability, doesn't it? It lets you trade with the village chief and makes this brute bull risk his life for you!"

"You're much more capable than that little thug from the Jackal Gang!"

The fat chef did not approach. Instead, he hid behind the tiger-servants and spoke coldly.

With a wave of his hand, a huge number of tiger-servants surrounded Wu Yu and closed in to kill him.

Wu Yu smiled, raised a hand... and snapped his fingers.
