CHAPTER 1216: CHAPTER 1201: REUNION

Song Yun felt that he had become quite badass lately, his inner Qi abundant. Moreover, he had learned a lot about using inner Qi from that ancestral cultivation technique book. It was just perfect that a formidable opponent was lined up for him to practice against. How could Song Yun not be thrilled?

For someone like Song Yun, any fierce enemy could only ignite his fighting spirit.

This is what you call being affluent in spirit. Some people, when they see an opponent, the first thought that comes to mind is to evade. Such people, no matter how abundant externally, are forever poor in spirit.

About ten people stood behind Zhou Jin, and Song Yun estimated these were Zhou Jin’s elite subordinates, probably on the same level as Meng Ku’s group.

In comparison, Song Yun’s side was somewhat shabby, with only 5 people: Fei, Chen Yang, Jue Wu, Song Yun, and Qingluan.

Among them, Qingluan wasn’t quite able to join the fight.

Just as Song Yun was pondering whether to quickly call for some reinforcements, a chorus of delicate but firm cries came from nearby.

Song Yun promptly turned his head to look back and saw that about ten women were rushing out from the stairwell.

These women quickly rushed to stand by Song Yun and Qingluan.

Leading them was an extraordinarily beautiful woman, but she was also the one with the most bloodstains on her body.

"Sister Qingluan, we’re here!" the woman said respectfully to Qingluan.

"You all worked hard!" Qingluan smiled and nodded, then turned to Song Yun and said, "Song Yun, this is Xiao She. From now on, she’ll be under your command as well."

Despite being astonished by Xiao She’s beauty, Song Yun nodded politely with a smile and said, "Hello."

"Hello!" Xiao She also nodded, then turned to Qingluan and asked, "Are those the people we need to settle today?"

It was hard to imagine such a stunning woman rashly talking about dealing with so-and-so. Song Yun, a bit surprised, glanced at Xiao She. Qingluan, however, subtly shook her head and said, "You do whatever Song Yun tells you to do."

"Understood." Xiao She nodded and stood quietly with the other women behind Song Yun and Qingluan.

Song Yun pondered if it was time to deliver a powerful opening line since his own reinforcements had almost arrived. Yet, Lei Long spoke first from the other side, which annoyed Song Yun greatly.

"Song Yun, long time no see."

Lei Long called out.

Song Yun advanced with his group, stopping about twenty meters from Lei Long and his men.

"Not really that long, right? I remember seeing you just a few days ago." Song Yun said with a smile.

"That doesn’t count." Lei Long shook his head and said, "The last time we faced each other like this, you were merely a minor figure, as I recall."

"Back then, you were still the head of Fierce Tiger." Song Yun replied with a smile.

"It’s been quite some time, and the ’nobody’ from before has grown into a ’somebody,’ and even you’ve made it over to the Pearl River Delta." Lei Long remarked wistfully.

"Haha, just so-so." Song Yun said modestly, "People need to make progress. If you don’t, you’ll eventually be replaced, just like Fierce Tiger."

"Enough of that." Lei Long shook his head and said, "Let me introduce you to my boss, Zhou Jin, Brother Zhou." Respectfully looking at Zhou Jin, Lei Long said, "Brother Zhou, that’s Song Yun."

Zhou Jin smiled and nodded, "Song Yun, I’ve heard of your reputation long ago."

"Haha, your name, Zhou Jin, is also quite well-known." Song Yun said with a laugh.

"Not at all, not at all." Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "My nephew was always talking about you. It seems he’s suffered quite a bit under you, and as his uncle, my heart goes out to him."

"Are you talking about Zhou Guang?" Song Yun asked, "If Zhou Guang hadn’t been following Zhao Wangquan around, he wouldn’t have suffered those troubles and setbacks."

"That’s true." Zhou Jin laughed and said, "But since my nephew has been wronged, as his uncle, I should help him. Including this time’s incident, you can’t leave this place."

Song Yun squinted his eyes at Zhou Jin and said, "You really think I’ll stay here?"

"You should." Zhou Jin said with a smile, "Song Yun, how about this? You send your men, I’ll send mine, and we’ll have a series of duels. That way, we can avoid an all-out melee, which would be a waste of time. Most importantly, if we damage my belongings in the chaos, it would be quite a crime, as these things are very valuable."

"Oh?" Song Yun looked at Zhou Jin with some surprise and said, "Are you trying to imitate those Japanese cartoons, each person fighting their own battle?"

"Haha, something like that." Zhou Jin replied, "It’ll save us a lot of trouble this way."

Song Yun pondered for a moment and then said to Zhou Jin, "I agree with your method... just kidding! Guys, charge, take them down!"

As he finished speaking, Song Yun led the charge, and Fei, Chen Yang, and Jue Wu followed him. Those women who had been standing behind Song Yun glanced at Qingluan; Qingluan nodded, and they also rushed forward.

In an instant, over a dozen people on Song Yun’s side charged at Zhou Jin’s group.

Zhou Jin stood up smiling and said, "Too crowded here, no fun. Song Yun, come with me, let’s play one-on-one. Lei Long, keep them all here for me!"

With that, Zhou Jin suddenly darted to the side, his speed not a bit slower than Song Yun’s rush towards him.

Very quickly, Zhou Jin reached a side door, glanced back at Song Yun, and saw him following. Zhou Jin could not help but feel pleased.

Why did Zhou Jin insist on finding a place to duel with Song Yun? The reason was simple: Zhou Jin didn’t want Qingluan to get involved.

Zhou Jin knew Qingluan’s skill well. Although Zhou Jin was confident he could withstand Qingluan alone, if Song Yun and Qingluan shamelessly teamed up, he would only have one option: to flee!

Therefore, Zhou Jin wanted to lead Song Yun elsewhere to duel him. From what Zhou Jin knew of Song Yun, Song Yun was definitely not his match. As long as he finished Song Yun before Song Yun could call for Qingluan’s help, the victory in this battle would undoubtedly be his. As to whether Lei Long and the others would be defeated by Fei and the rest, Zhou Jin didn’t care at all.

Because Lei Long was not part of the Zhou Family, and Zhou Jin didn’t bother about his life or death.

To Zhou Jin, Lei Long was just a pawn.
