Meanwhile, several pairs of eyes were hiding in the shadows.

Among them were Su Ze and Luo Qianqi's group.

"What's going on, why are even Azure Dragon Commerce and Yama Hall involved?" Luo Qianqi looked puzzled.

Lou Yunbai's face was solemn; if both sides suffered heavy losses, it would be easy for him to kill Ye Guichen and seize the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.

But now, the sudden emergence of Iron Arhat and Shuang Feiyan made the situation more complicated, and even if he was capable, he might not be able to handle them.

Su Ze scoffed, "What's the rush? Let's watch and see. As they say, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Once they start fighting, we'll catch Ye Guichen. Trust me, he will hand over the item."

Luo Qianqi glanced at Su Ze, feeling uneasy inside.

Ye Guichen helped Feng Wuji up. Seeing that he was alright, he leaned against the vehicle, grinning at Iron Arhat and Shuang Feiyan. "Why don't you discuss amongst yourselves first? Whoever wins can come to me. Some people are waiting, so you better hurry up."

Ye Guichen spoke leisurely, as if he were the spectator rather than the main character.

As Ye Guichen pointed at Feng Zhizhang's group, Iron Arhat and Shuang Feiyan immediately turned their heads towards them.

"Damn it, we have our own business, what are these flies doing here!" Iron Arhat stamped his foot and charged toward Feng Zhizhang's group.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With just a pair of iron fists, one punch at a time, he killed everyone around Feng Zhizhang and Yu Hualong in the blink of an eye.

The remaining people were terrified.

They never expected Iron Arhat to kill without hesitation.

"Run!"

Feng Zhizhang was so scared he almost wet himself and turned to flee, only to be grabbed by Iron Arhat.

Yu Hualong also tried to escape but collapsed on the ground, unable to run.

"Master, master, we didn't do anything. Spare our lives!" Yu Hualong, who was usually so domineering, seemed less than a chick in front of Iron Arhat, who was a true expert.

They had heard Rashamon Temple was full of ruthless killers, but now they understood they truly did not value human life.

Feng Zhizhang, held by Iron Arhat, was sweating profusely. "Master, how much money? I'll transfer it right away, just spare my life!"

Iron Arhat grinned. "Azure Dragon Commerce will pay us. Haha, save your petty money to bribe King Yan in the underworld!"

With that, he threw Feng Zhizhang into the air and simultaneously raised his hand, piercing Feng Zhizhang's chest with a "whoosh."

Feng Zhizhang's pupils contracted, dying with an expression of indignation.

Seeing Iron Arhat kill without blinking, Yu Hualong knew there was no escape. He crawled desperately to Ye Guichen, pleading, "Brother, save me! If you save my life, I will serve you like a loyal dog for the rest of my life!"

With everyone else dead, Ye Guichen's people seemed the only possible saviors.

Although Yu Hualong feared Ye Guichen's group might not help, he had no other route.

Luo Qianqi, hiding in the shadows, was shocked, covering her mouth.

She always thought she was ruthless; even when her bodyguards died, she never cared. But compared to Iron Arhat, she was nothing.

"Uncle Lou, do you think you can win if you face Iron Arhat?" Luo Qianqi whispered.

Lou Yunbai's expression was serious. "Seventy percent chance."

"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqi gasped.

She had never seen Lou Yunbai so cautious. Usually, no matter the opponent, he was confident he could kill them in one move, never mentioning odds.

Now saying seventy percent showed he wasn't sure about defeating Iron Arhat.

Iron Arhat, seeing Yu Hualong kneeling before Ye Guichen, grinned. "Haha, that boy can't even protect himself, and you seek salvation from him? You must be mad."

Iron Arhat flicked the blood off his hand and approached Shuang Feiyan. "How about I take the boy now?"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood Iron Arhat's plan.

He killed to show his strength and deter Shuang Feiyan.

But the price was too high.

Shuang Feiyan sneered. "Fine, since that's the case, let the master have at it."

The brothers stepped back, making a gesture of invitation.

Iron Arhat laughed. "Good decision!"

He walked briskly to Yu Hualong, reaching to grab him to kill off the nuisance.

Yu Hualong seemed to sense Iron Arhat's murderous intent and rolled behind Ye Guichen, hugging Ye Guichen's leg and pleading, "Brother, please!"

Gone was his former bravado and arrogance.

Ye Guichen looked down at Yu Hualong. "If I save you today, will you become my loyal dog?"

Yu Hualong froze, then nodded fiercely, barking like a dog.

At this point, dignity meant nothing.

Those who wanted to ambush Ye Guichen were all killed by Iron Arhat. Now, Ye Guichen was the only escape.

Yu Hualong had no choice but to gamble.

He saw Ye Guichen was calm throughout, without a trace of anxiety.

So he bet Ye Guichen could kill Iron Arhat.

Even if the odds were slim, Iron Arhat wouldn't listen to reason, and any extra words could mean death like Feng Zhizhang.

Yu Hualong had no other choice.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly. "Fine, then so be it."

He then pointed to Iron Arhat. "I've said it once and won't repeat myself. You have one chance to tell your master. And Rashamon Temple causing trouble here won't be tolerated!"

"Haha, such arrogance!" Iron Arhat laughed, surprised Ye Guichen dared speak so boldly. "You suit my taste! You lot are too slow, like Wen Daoxian, who loved scheming but died for it. If problems can be solved with force, why waste words? I look forward to you begging like a dog!"

With that, Iron Arhat's hands moved swiftly, like sharp weapons, striking Ye Guichen.

Iron Arhat indeed was ruthless, never wasting words if he could act.

Feng Wuji wanted to step in but was pulled back by Ye Guichen. "Don't be reckless!"

Ye Guichen pulled Feng Wuji back, stepped forward, and struck with a palm!
