The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

"Die!"

Just as he was thinking, a loud shout came from Chen Younian’s side. Everyone looked intently and saw that under the opponent’s frenzied attack, Chen Younian was retreating step by step, and his defense seemed about to be breached. At the critical moment, Chen Younian suddenly drew a short blade, aiming its sharp tip at the opponent, and stabbed forward from an awkward angle.

The strike was very perilous, as any slight mishap could hit a vital point. However, the expert from the clan of guardians was no ordinary person. With his ability, it wasn’t impossible to avoid it. But, to everyone’s surprise, the expert seemed to have no intention of dodging. Instead, he charged directly toward the short blade with his body.

In an instant, the sharp blade pierced through his body, blood gushing out, instantly staining his clothes red. Upon seeing this, everyone was utterly shocked. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t avoid the strike when he clearly could. Was he planning to give up? Impossible! He was just a thoughtless puppet with no concept of ’giving up’ in his mind.

Amid everyone’s confusion, the middle-aged man, with the short blade piercing his body, suddenly took a step forward, driving the short blade into the hilt. At the same time, he abruptly spread his arms, tightly embracing Chen Younian, refusing to let go no matter how Chen struggled.

What was he trying to do?

Suddenly, the middle-aged man let out a wild cry and, holding onto Chen Younian, dashed forward. Just a dozen meters ahead lay the edge of the mountain peak. Seeing this, everyone finally realized his intent. He intended to drag Chen Younian down Qiu Nanshan, perishing together. Falling from such a height, even with Qiu Yong’s formidable power, it would inevitably lead to being smashed to pieces.

As the middle-aged man and Chen Younian disappeared over the edge of the peak, joy spread across the faces of Ling Gengqiu and Du Yunzhi. In contrast, Su He and the assassins of the Netherworld Snake were all horrified. With Chen Younian dead... it was a catastrophe for them. After a brief stupor, Su He quickly came to his senses, taking advantage of the distraction of Ling Gengqiu’s group to frantically flee down the mountain. Chen Younian was done for, and he didn’t wish to stay there and meet the same fate.

At this moment, on the eastern side of Qiu Nanshan, Chen Younian and the middle-aged man, intertwined, were plummeting down the mountainside. After descending several dozen meters, they suddenly slammed into an outcropping rock. Upon impact, both spat out a mouthful of blood. At that same moment, the middle-aged man’s arms slackened slightly. Seizing the opportunity, Chen Younian swiftly broke free from the man’s grip and struck him hard on the back with a kick. Instantly, the middle-aged man flew several meters away, once again dropping toward the ground.

As the opponent vanished from view, Chen Younian, while descending, suddenly turned around, raised the short blade in his hand, and fiercely stabbed it into the mountain wall. After sliding down more than ten meters, the blade’s edge finally caught in a crack, halting Chen Younian’s descent.

Huff! After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Younian gritted his teeth and slowly climbed back toward the mountaintop. Though his power was formidable, the earlier collision had inflicted significant damage on him. Even with an immortal body, he needed time to recover. Now, the greatest obstacle was removed, and neither the guardians nor anyone else could stop him.

"Finally, it’s over!"

At the mountaintop’s edge, Ling Gengqiu exhaled a breath, turning to Du Yunzhi and saying, "This time, we owe it to the clan of guardians; otherwise, no one could have stopped Chen Younian."

Du Yunzhi forced a bitter smile and said, "After this battle, the clan of guardians is finished."

"It’s okay, we..." Before Ling Gengqiu could finish his sentence, a dark shadow suddenly leapt from the mountain edge, darting straight into him at high speed. Caught off guard, Ling Gengqiu’s body was violently knocked away, landing heavily on the ground.

Faced with this sudden change, Du Yunzhi was startled, and before she could recover, it felt as if her throat was locked in a vice-like grip, bringing immense pain. Following the hand holding her, Du Yunzhi’s pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in shock, "You... you’re not dead?"

"Hmph!" Chen Younian sneered, "Sorry to disappoint you." Due to the previous impact, his face was covered in blood, making him look hideous and terrifying.

"Cough cough!"

Lying on the ground, Ling Gengqiu coughed a few times, slowly getting up. As he looked at the approaching Chen Younian, a trace of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He thought Chen Younian was certainly doomed but couldn’t believe that the latter had survived.

"Ling Gengqiu, now there’s no one left to help you. I advise you to surrender obediently to spare me the trouble."

"Dream on." As soon as the words fell, Ling Gengqiu gritted his teeth, quickly charging forward, throwing a punch at the opponent. However, before his fist could reach Chen Younian, the latter leisurely stretched out a hand, catching his fist with ease, rendering him immobile.

"You’re too weak. Without the help of the guardians’ experts, you’re nothing but trash to me." With that, Chen Younian twisted his wrist, and with a ’crack’, Ling Gengqiu’s arm deformed, the severe pain eliciting a cry from him.

"I told you, you can’t stop me." Saying this, he thrust his palm into Ling Gengqiu’s abdomen, extracting a bloodied Soul Stone from his body after a while. Staring at the Soul Stone in his hand, Chen Younian laughed triumphantly, "After merging with those Soul Stones, I feel I’ve reached my limit, just one step away from breaking through to another realm. Perhaps the Soul Stone from your body can help me achieve that."

Ling Gengqiu opened his mouth, attempting to speak, but the pain and sudden weakness left him with no strength to even stand, collapsing directly to the ground, his head muddled and consciousness blurry.

Seeing him in such a state, Chen Younian scoffed, "Without the Soul Stone, you’re not far from death." With that, he shifted his gaze to Du Yunzhi, asking, "Where’s the body? Hand it over, and I might consider sparing you."

"Don’t delude yourself; even if you kill me, I won’t reveal where the body is hidden," Du Yunzhi said firmly.

"Good!" Chen Younian nodded, "I admire your attitude, so let’s end this." With that, he threw a punch, striking Du Yunzhi hard.

Phoo!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Du Yunzhi collapsed to the ground, the vitality in her eyes slowly fading.

"Brother, brother... brother!"

Who knows how long passed, but Ling Gengqiu seemed to hear a familiar voice calling.
