The village beauty and me!

Having inherited the cultivation technique and successfully entered the first level, Chen Huan already possesses a certain innate ability to foresee danger.

The moment he heard that barely perceptible cracking sound, he immediately sensed danger.

Without hesitation, he immediately left his original position and hid behind a large tree.

Just as they made a move, a sharp sound pierced the air.

Whoosh!

state!

A crossbow bolt pierced the trunk of the large tree where he was hiding.

The arrowhead had pierced completely, and its tip was still vibrating violently, emitting a high-frequency sound.

"A sneak attack?" Chen Huan became even more alert.

His internal energy circulated rapidly, and he reached into his waist and pulled out a knife.

He did not rush to leave his hiding place.

Instead, it quietly perceives its surroundings.

The person who launched the sneak attack was clearly a veteran, cunning and treacherous.

He stopped moving after this attack failed.

Clearly, they were trying to avoid exposing their target.

"Is that scoundrel really that underhanded?"

"I just came to inspect Mount Tai, and I still managed to encounter an assassination attempt?" Chen Huan's face gradually turned gloomy.

It suddenly darted forward, peeking half its body out from behind the tree at an extremely fast speed.

Sure enough, at the same time, the sound of a bowstring twanging came from afar.

A crossbow bolt arrived in an instant, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

The opponent was indeed an expert; judging from the direction and angle of the crossbow bolt, it was clearly aimed at Chen Huan.

It was as if they had calculated exactly where he would be in the next second, making him willingly walk into the arrowhead.

Chen Huan inherited not only martial arts techniques, but also extensive combat experience.

So his forward dash just now was a feint.

The moment he heard the bowstring twang, he immediately retreated.

Relying on the power of his inner energy and his extraordinary physical abilities, he managed to narrowly escape death.

The crossbow bolt ultimately missed its target.

At the same time, Chen Huan once again emerged from behind the tree and pinpointed the location of the attacker.

"Let's see how you hide this time!" Chen Huan threw the knife away with a backhand.

Although he didn't have a bow and crossbow, the power and speed of his strike were no less than that of the other strikes.

A lightning-fast attack.

The figure hiding behind the bushes dozens of meters away originally intended to immediately relocate if the first attack failed.

As soon as he crouched down, making a move to escape, the knife came at him.

A knife stabbed him in the buttocks, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Ah!" A scream rang out at the same time.

The guy who launched the sneak attack probably never expected his retribution to come so quickly.

So it was still running forward.

With a knife stuck in his buttocks, he eventually crashed headfirst into a nearby tree, his eyes rolling back, almost fainting.

If it weren't for the persistent, excruciating pain in my buttocks, I probably would have passed out by now.

He hurriedly tried to reload the crossbow, but Chen Huan had already run over quickly.

The attacker only had time to see a size 43 shoe sole coming straight at him.

With a thud, his face landed squarely on the sole of his shoe.

He then fell to the ground, rolled around a few times, and cried out in pain.

"You bastard, why did you ambush me?"

"What do you do?" Chen Huan realized he didn't recognize the other person.

The man in front of me looked to be in his thirties. He was thin and withered, and dressed very plainly. The only thing that stood out was his small, triangular eyes, which gleamed with a fierce light like those of a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.

At this moment, he was in so much pain that his face turned pale, and his expression became increasingly panicked.

"Not going to answer?" Chen Huan stepped forward and kicked him in the stomach again.

The man was like a ball that flew backwards several meters and crashed into a tree, breaking several bones in his body immediately.

Upon landing again, he immediately vomited blood.

"Stop hitting me, I'll talk, I'll talk." The man immediately learned his lesson.

While raising his hands to cover his head in surrender, he immediately added, "I mistook you for someone else; I thought you were the prey."

"I'm a hunter, I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"

"Hunting?" Chen Huan glanced at the other person, not believing him at all.

Picking up the blood-stained knife that had just fallen to the ground, she muttered as she approached the man, "When you're out in the world, you have to give yourself your identity."

"If that's the case, then I'm a hunter too, and I think you're a wild boar."

"I heard that if you hunt a wild boar in the mountains, you should immediately slit its throat to bleed it out..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was already in front of the man.

The man screamed in fright, "No! I was just talking nonsense!"

Actually, someone hired me to deal with you.

"I didn't intend to kill you, I just wanted to hurt you a little. Please, have mercy on me this time."

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "Am I that popular now? I can just walk into a forest and people will be eyeing me?"

"Who sent you? Think carefully before you answer. I have a bit of a temper."

"Besides, this place is mountainous and densely forested, so killing someone probably wouldn't be discovered."

The man replied tremblingly, "Li Manjiang, you know this person, right?"

"I don't know what conflict you two have, but I received his orders an hour ago to go into the mountains to find you, and preferably cripple you."

"Li Manjiang?" Chen Huan's expression was strange.

He was both surprised and somewhat compelled to accept the news.

It's understandable that he would retaliate after I just beat up someone from the Li family.

I just didn't expect his revenge to come so quickly.

Just as Zhao Jingjing said, this was a character not to be trifled with.

"He didn't say why he sent you to deal with me?" Chen Huan continued to ask with a cold face.

"He seemed to have mentioned that you stole something he had his eye on," the man lying on the ground replied, clutching his buttocks with a pained expression.

"You stole his things?" Chen Huan gasped.

If Li Manjiang said this, then it has nothing to do with Zhao Jingjing's matter.

It's highly likely that the old man already knows that he contracted the forest through Zhao Siming.

It's just unknown whether Zhao Siming leaked this information on his own initiative.

Or perhaps someone overheard him and Zhao Siming discussing the contract at the door and then informed on them.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that Li Manjiang can no longer tolerate Chen Huan.

This time they wanted to cripple him; next time, they might just kill him.

"How arrogant! Does he really think he's some kind of mountain king, able to bully whoever he wants?" Chen Huan brandished the knife in his hand, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

The man lying on the ground was drenched in sweat. "Brother, I've told you everything I need to say. Will you let me go?"

Chen Huan glanced at him with a mocking expression, "I might spare your life, but you'll have to give me something in exchange."
