The Strength of Angler Du Yan

Xu Mu took out his phone and glanced at it, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, there's no signal here."

Jia Feng also took out his phone and tried calling his grandfather first, confirming that calls indeed couldn't go through.

Chen Xuan approached Xu Mu and whispered, "Brother Mu..."

Xu Mu raised his hand, signaling Chen Xuan not to speak yet.

Time passed minute by minute. Xu Mu noticed that Jia Feng was growing impatient.

So he proactively called out, "Sister Quan! What are you doing in there? Why haven't you come out yet?"

Seeing that Xu Mu had spoken first, Jia Feng closed his mouth.

"Young Master! I think that woman has no intention of coming out!"

Another black-robed figure hurried over and whispered in front of Jia Feng.

Xu Mu couldn't help but smile. He had to admit, the few people around Jia Feng were quite clever.

It was just a pity they were stuck with a genius like Jia Feng.

"Young Master Jia, let's give her another fifteen minutes. If she still doesn't come out, then we'll have to go with your method!"

Xu Mu had just checked his phone; fifteen minutes had already passed.

He hoped those Janitors could make it in time.

"Fine!"

Jia Feng shouted towards the inside, "Dantai Quan, I'm giving you fifteen minutes, and that's final!"

Just then, a young man in a suit walked out from the main entrance.

He said to Jia Feng, "Sister Quan is in the restroom. She said since it's a long journey, she needs to prepare in advance."

Hearing this, Jia Feng grinned, "Wants to eat."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu got goosebumps. This guy's preferences were quite peculiar.

The few black-robed figures around, seeing they couldn't persuade Jia Feng to leave, could only resort to other methods to protect him.

"Young Master, since we have to wait that long, I'll go block the ruin's entrance to prevent anyone here from leaving and notifying the Janitors."

One of the black-robed figures slightly cupped his hands.

"Good! Go ahead!"

Jia Feng nodded lightly.

Time ticked by. One of the black-robed figures nearby came up to Xu Mu.

He asked indifferently, "Kid, what's your name? What's your relation to Mr. Jiang?"

Xu Mu was inwardly startled. As expected of a Grandmaster level, not only strong in power but sharp-minded too.

Perhaps he was already starting to suspect him.

"My name is Ye Chen. I'm the junior brother of the second squad leader, Cui Yu."

Xu Mu remembered seeing the information on Jiang Mingzhuo's disciples last time; the second squad leader of the Punishment Department. "Also, the third squad leader, Liang Yi, knows me too."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure nodded slightly and said no more.

It seemed this person was indeed from the Eternal Life Research Institute; what he said checked out.

Xu Mu didn't want to continue on this topic. If he were asked who the first squad leader was, Xu Mu wouldn't know.

He immediately took out his phone to change the subject, "Sister Quan, one minute left! You don't want people to die here, do you?"

Half an hour later, Dantai Quan still hadn't come out from inside.

Xu Mu couldn't help but frown. Would the Janitors be late again?

"Dantai Quan! I've given you enough face! Since you remain obstinate, don't blame me!"

Jia Feng snorted coldly and looked at the two black-robed figures beside him. "First, kill ten people to liven things up!"

Boom!

Before these two black-robed figures could make a move, a tremor came from the direction of the ruin's entrance.

Boom!

The next moment, the ground shook violently again, even more fiercely than the first time.

Seeing this, Xu Mu gave Chen Xuan a look.

Then, the two of them quietly retreated to a distance.

Not long after, three people appeared in the distance.

The man at the front wore a gray short-sleeved shirt, his hair was messy, and his eyes were squinted as if he hadn't woken up yet.

He held a canned beer and walked towards them.

Xu Mu, hiding in the distance, was filled with surprise. It was actually Du Yan, that fishing enthusiast.

He remembered Du Yan had invited him before, wanting him to join the Janitors.

Behind Du Yan were two other Janitors, both wearing Janitor uniforms.

They had one white stripe and two white stripes respectively, corresponding to Junior Janitor and Intermediate Janitor.

"Janitors?"

Seeing this, a flicker of fear flashed in Jia Feng's eyes. "How did you know I was here?"

Du Yan tilted his head back, finished the beer, casually crushed the can, and threw it on the ground.

He yawned and continued walking towards them.

"Young Master! They probably aren't here to capture you. With just these few, they're not qualified!"

One of the black-robed figures was instantly enveloped in a red aura covering his entire body.

This was a Grandmaster.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, charging at Du Yan.

His fist erupted with flames, "Heavenly Flame Fist!"

Du Yan's expression remained calm. He simply raised his hand and caught the opponent's fist.

"Looking for death! Daring to catch my Earth-grade technique... Ah!"

Before the Grandmaster could finish his words, he suddenly let out a sharp scream.

His eyes were now filled with terror, and the aura emanating from his body instantly vanished.

He stood there stiffly, completely stunned with fear.

Du Yan released the Grandmaster's fist and continued walking towards Jia Feng.

Seeing this, the other black-robed figure in the distance shouted sternly, "Old Zhao! What's wrong with you?"

But this black-robed figure didn't say a word. He remained in his punching posture, except blood was now dripping from his fist.

"Damn!"

The other black-robed figure tore off the black robe he was wearing and threw it on the ground.

He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a fleshy face and hair already half white.

Gritting his teeth, he pushed his power to the limit, his body covered in a blue aura.

Swish!

This time, he didn't choose a frontal assault but opted for the flank. Just as he was about to attack, he found Du Yan had vanished from before his eyes.

"Don't try to show off your speed in front of me."

Du Yan's hand was already on his shoulder from behind.

Boom!

Instantly, sharp wooden spikes erupted from within the middle-aged man's body from various places.

The next moment, these wooden spikes retracted, leaving only several bloody holes.

The middle-aged man's eyes widened, "Aura materialization?"

Xu Mu in the distance was also shocked speechless. Although he had long known that the power gap among Intermediate Janitors was the largest...

Du Yan's hand released his shoulder, and he continued walking towards Jia Feng.

By now, Jia Feng was terrified out of his wits.

Two Grandmasters... no, including the one guarding the ruin's entrance, that should be three Grandmasters.

All taken out in seconds?

"Big brother, I was wrong, I surrender!"

Jia Feng retreated repeatedly in fear.

Du Yan arrived in front of Jia Feng, grabbing both of Jia Feng's shoulders.

Crack!

"Ah!"

Jia Feng screamed in pain, rolling on the ground. Both his arms were dislocated.

Du Yan crouched down and then pinched both his knees.

Crack!

Tears streamed down Jia Feng's face.

Du Yan's expression remained placid, as if he were doing something utterly mundane.

He turned his head, looked at the Intermediate Janitor behind him, and yawned, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, Captain!"

The Intermediate Janitor nodded respectfully.

"Wait! Little brother Ye Chen! I think you're a good guy! Let's go chat in prison together!"

Jia Feng, enduring the intense pain, turned his head and shouted coldly towards Xu Mu in the distance, "I'm already captured, and you think you can get off scot-free?"
