I Have Never Feared Competing in Silver

Splash!

Ryan Chen's tall figure crashed into the creek, sending water flying everywhere.

Cough, cough!

Ryan struggled to stand up in the creek, looking utterly miserable. He glared angrily at Yuan Sheng: "Why did you sneak attack—ugh!"

He didn't even finish his sentence before blood spurted from his mouth.

That punch had seriously injured him.

Yuan Sheng flashed a fake smile and said insincerely, "Sorry, Ryan. I didn't want to do this either, but I had to hurt you first so you wouldn't mess up my next move!"

"You're after Leon?" Ryan might be honest and straightforward, but he's not stupid.

Yuan Sheng grinned, "Sharp as always, Ryan. That's right—my target is Leon. Someone's offering ten thousand taels of silver for me to capture him!" As he spoke, his gaze landed on Song Yan, full of greed.

"So, Leon, will you come quietly, or do I have to take you down myself?"

"Don't you dare!"

Ryan forced out a breath of true qi, dashed to Leon's side, and glared at Yuan Sheng. "As long as I'm here, you won't lay a finger on Leon!" he declared, firm and unyielding.

Yuan Sheng sneered, "Ryan, you'd better not get in my way. Anyone who blocks me—I'll kill them!"

His voice grew colder and more sinister with every word.

"Hmph! Even if I die, I won't let you hurt Leon!" Ryan drew the long saber from his back, refusing to back down.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Shing!

Yuan Sheng drew his long sword, his face twisted with murderous intent.

"Seriously, Ryan, Yuan—you guys are way underestimating me!"

Song Yan stood up slowly, giving Yuan Sheng a playful look. "Are you really that sure you can take me down?"
