"Bro Bei, please be careful! I sense evil intentions coming from this guy!"
Jing Fei narrowed his eyes. He heard the two sentences mentioned by the skinny man earlier. But, he couldn't remember when and where he had heard it before. It was something like the catchphrase of a deadly individual. Chen did not dare drop his guard either. He quickly activated his Netherspirit Battlescouter.
Ding!

"Shit!"
Chen was shocked that this opponent was actually stronger than Jing Fei. Things would become very complicated if they make an enemy out of this guy.
"Who are you? I think you got the wrong person." Lan asked. She was not aware of the danger they were in.
"Damn! What a beauty! Tsk Tsk Tsk…! Such beauties are truly rare in the City of Dragon! I'm so lucky! I can't believe I will be rewarded with such a pretty lady while I'm here to conclude my "business". Tonight, I will be a happy man on the bed! Hehehe…" The Killer Bee stared at Lan with a disgusting smile on his face.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want? Tell me your purpose if you are a true man!" Chen quickly stood in front of Lan to protect her. Chen knew his opponent was stronger than him, but he did not plan on retreating.
"You don't need to know who I am. You'll be too dead to hear me anyway!"
Killer Bee charged at Chen. The needle in his hand reflected shady and cold light.
"Bro Bei! Get Lady Lan out of here! I will hold him off!" Without a second thought, Jing Fei charged at Killer Bee as well.
"Be careful! He's more powerful than you!" Chen cried out.
Jing Fei and Killer Bee started their fight. Just as Chen said, the difference in their strength and skills were apparent. Jing Fei's power and his speed were both outmatched. Also, the other man was armed. It was even harder for Jing Fei to deal with him.
"Lan, please, get to safety. I will stay here to take control of the situation!" Chen hastened Lan. She was born in a wealthy, powerful family. In other words, she had seen it all. She was not surprised by the fight of Jianghu elites. On the contrary, she was exceptionally calm.
She consoled Chen by saying, "Don't worry. I will call Uncle Qin right now. Everything will be solved when he arrives!"
"There's no time to wait for Uncle Qin! Just go!" Chen urged her, with more sterness. He had the Netherspirit Battlescouter. That was why he could see through this battle better than anyone. Just as Chen expected, the fight was over soon enough.
"Argh…"
Jing Fei's shoulder had been punctured by the needle. He staggered back a few steps. He had resolved himself to take no notice of the small prick and had readied himself to strike back, but his legs went soft and pulled him down to the ground.
"Such despicable person! How dare you use poison!" Jing Fei gritted. Black blood started to gush out from the wound on his shoulder. His body ran out of strength almost immediately.
"You are such a funny guy! My name is Killer Bee! What should I use to fight, if not poison?"
Killer Bee laughed condescendingly and he stared at Chen. He said coldly, "Boy! Prepare to die! Don't fight me! I'll make it quick and painless!"
"Lan, run!"
Chen was really worried right now. He could borrow extra strength from the spirits in hell, but his body wouldn't withstand the overpowering strength from the spirits. Back then, he could borrow strength from Xiangyu to fight against normal people. This time his opponent was a guy who had a highly developed physique, in the latter stage of training. Hypothetically speaking, the outcome was still uncertain if Chen could defeat Killer Bee with his punch. One thing for sure was his hand will be crippled when he got close to Killer Bee.
It seemed that Chen was at a dead end.
"The two of you will not be able to escape today! Pretty lady, you are mine tonight! Hehehe…" Killer Bee laughed, and he approached Chen and Lan.
*Piak!*
A loud slap broke the silence. The slap threw Killer Bee five feet away. The immense strength made him feel like as if his brain was going to explode.
"Ouch!"
Blood started to gush out from his mouth when he started talking, "You… Who are you?"
"You don't deserve to know my identity!"
The stranger was an old man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes. His hair was white in color. His face was scarred from the cut of a blade. A powerful aura was spilling out from his presence. It made the people around him suffocate.
"Uncle Feng! Why are you here? Great! It's just too great!"
Lan was really happy. She did not expect to see this old man at such a critical moment.
Ding!

Chen took a glance at Uncle Feng. He was extremely shocked.
Then, he asked softly, "This is?"
"Uncle Feng is my dad's personal bodyguard! With his presence here, the bad guy will become a pile of dead meat!" Lan said excitedly.
"Good day Uncle Feng! Thank you so much for saving us!" Chen bowed to him politely.
He never expected that other than Uncle Qin, one other elite could achieve the peak phase of the human body. Chen was really impressed by Lan' family's hidden strength.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm not here to save you." Uncle Feng had a poker face on. It was as if that he doesn't possess any human emotion.
"Uncle Feng! What do you mean by that?!" Lan was shocked.
"Lady Lan, you should know the responsibility on your back. This young man just broke the family taboo! There's only one way for this to end." Uncle Feng said coldly.
"No… It cannot be…!" It was as if Lan had just realized something horrible. Her face became deathly pale.
"Lady Lan, you should know better than anyone that you can't change this. I can't change this, even the whole Lan family can't change the fact that this young man is going to die tonight!"
Uncle Feng shook his head. He then raised his arm and touched Lan's neck with his finger. Lan fell unconscious within a second. He carried Lan with him and left the scene as soon as possible. Looking at Uncle Feng leaving the scene, Killer Bee stood up slowly. He spat a mouthful of blood on the floor. It was pretty obvious that Uncle Feng had no intention of killing Killer Bee. He was leaving Chen to his fate!
"Boy! You are really out of luck tonight! An elite came out of nowhere, but he did not save you! Hahaha… It is destined that you will die tonight!" Killer Bee stared at Chen coldly. His words were full of malicious intent.
"Bro Bei… Run… Bro Bei… Go after that old man! You will be fine when you reach a more congested area!" Jing Fei lay helplessly on the ground. His black blood was all on the floor. He used his final strength to shout to Chen.
However, Chen stood his ground. It was like he was deep in thought.
"Hmph! This son of the bitch must be scared to death! Well, it is better this way. I won't have to use all my strength to kill him." Killer Bee held the needle in his hand and walked towards Chen slowly.
"Bro Bei… Run… It is better to run now to save your life! You can kill him when you get stronger in the future! You can't accept your fate just like that!" Jing Fei kept on shouting at Chen.
"You don't have to shout at him. He is prepared to die. Your shout means nothing to him." Killer Bee laughed coldly. He quickened his steps.
"Who says that I have given up?"
Suddenly, Chen raised his right arm and aimed his palm at Killer Bee.
