Dao Kun took a deep breath, knowing he had to accept his fate today. He said, "Friend, I have no quarrel with you, and today's matter has nothing to do with you."
Ye Tian sneered, "Nothing to do with me? Just now, you wanted me to pay one hundred million to save my own life. Have you forgotten?"
Dao Kun's face turned ugly. "I was blind just now. Please forgive me."
Ye Tian said lightly, "Cripple your cultivation, then pay one billion to buy your own life. Or, I'll kill you right now."
Dao Kun slowly retreated, his right hand reaching for his waist. "Friend, don't push your luck too far!"
Ye Tian: "What, trying to run?"
Dao Kun drew a gun with lightning speed. It was a handgun, but its body was very large, clearly not an ordinary gun.
"This is a firearm specially developed in the United States, capable of killing experts! Don't come any closer..."
"Boom!"
Before Dao Kun could finish speaking, a thunderclap sounded in his mind, and then his mind went blank. His hand suddenly felt empty, the gun already in Ye Tian's grasp.
Ye Tian felt the gun was heavy. He fired a shot to the front left. With a loud bang, a hole ten centimeters in diameter was blasted through the stone wall, with traces of corrosion around the edges.
His eyes lit up. "Not bad. This shot would be unbearable even for a Human Immortal. Of course, you have to be able to hit the target."
He then took a bullet pouch from Dao Kun's person, which contained twelve bullets.
It was only then that Dao Kun regained his senses. His face turned ashen. "You are a Human Immortal!"
Ye Tian stared at him. "Now, are you willing to buy your life?"
Dao Kun seemed to have all his strength drained away. He slumped down powerlessly and murmured, "Do I have a choice?"
"I will!"
Yuan Kemin, hating him for killing innocents, stepped forward and struck several palms, shattering Dao Kun's cultivation on the spot. Yuan Kemin spat out a mouthful of blood and slumped to the ground.
Ye Tian handed him an account number. Less than half an hour later, ten billion appeared in his account. For an expert like Dao Kun, his net worth was at least ten billion to start with, so parting with one billion wouldn't break his bones. Of course, now that he was a cripple, whether he could hold onto this wealth in the future was another matter.
Dao Kun was carried away from the courtyard by his associates. After he left, Yuan Kemin sighed, "It was my leniency back then that caused her death!"
Ye Tian: "Some things are unpredictable. What is this Dao Kun's background? How did you get into conflict with him?"
Yuan Kemin said, "It's a long story. About six years ago, I was visiting my hometown from Dongying. At that time, I hadn't been home for nearly ten years and had visited many old friends. Once, I was having dinner at a friend's restaurant, and someone in a private room was causing trouble and had injured someone. I saw it was inappropriate and went to stop them, as killing someone in a restaurant would have severe repercussions. When I arrived, they were beating one person to death, so I told them to stop. One of the assailants was Dao Kun, and without a word, he charged at me."
"When you fight an expert, you'll know their skill. As soon as we started fighting, I injured him. He asked for my name and left after uttering a harsh threat. Later, I learned that Dao Kun's father was named Dao Jiannan, one of the great experts in Chengwu County. The Dao family is also one of the seven major martial arts families in Chengwu County."
"At that time, I thought Dao Kun would come after me, but I didn't expect the Dao family to endure it. I presume they secretly made Dao Kun practice his saber skills diligently, and then he came to seek revenge himself to resolve his inner resentment, so that his cultivation would not be hindered by an unfulfilled wish in the future."
Ye Tian: "For such a minor incident, Dao Kun wanted to kill you for revenge. His malevolent aura is too strong."
Kusuo Tamahime: "Mr. Ye, thank you for your intervention today. Otherwise, my teacher might have been in danger."
Yuan Kemin sighed softly, "But I have also implicated you, Human Immortal Ye. If the experts of the Dao family know that Dao Kun was injured by an outsider, they will surely come to retaliate. Human Immortal Ye, let's pack our bags immediately and leave Chengwu County."
Ye Tian asked him, "Will you never come back?"
Yuan Kemin gave a bitter smile, "Let's just survive this first."
Ye Tian: "What is the cultivation level of the Dao family experts?"
Yuan Kemin: "They should not be Human Immortals, but they have cultivated ancient saber techniques, which are extremely lethal."
Ye Tian: "If that's the case, why be afraid of him? No one needs to leave. I'll wait for them to come to us!"
