Huang Mazi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the ruins of the ancient city wall. He patted the dust off his body, with disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Ouch! This is the first time I see someone threatening our treasure-stealing group. Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson?"

Seeing this, the sturdy younger brother at the side immediately echoed: "Brother, this guy is obviously an outsider. I don't know how famous you are!" His voice was full of admiration and awe for Huang Mazi.

Huang Mazi smiled triumphantly. He followed Shao Yun's example and took a step forward, weighing the sword in his hand. He raised his head and said loudly, "I'm telling you, I, Huang Mazi, have killed people. I killed fifteen people! One of them was from the Qianyan Army!"

After hearing this, Shao Yun nodded slightly, as if he was not surprised by the number. He asked curiously, "Fifteen, a little less, how about yesterday?"

Huang Mazi was stunned by Shao Yun's question. He couldn't believe his ears. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "You are scared silly, 15 lives! One of them is from the Qianyan Army! Aren't you afraid?"

After hearing this, Shao Yun smacked his lips, as if he was disappointed with Huang Mazi's answer. He said indifferently: "Tsk, I thought he was a well-known figure, but it turns out he is just a rotten fish and shrimp, nothing more than this."

Huang Mazi was so angry at Shao Yun's words that his face turned red. He waved the big knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "How dare you insult me ​​like this, kid! I will chop you into pieces with one blow!"

"Brother, this kid is scared silly, let's go!" the sturdy younger brother reminded, his tone full of desire for the upcoming battle.

After all, highway robbery is much easier than stealing cultural relics!

However, Huang Mazi waved his hand, signaling him to be patient. His eyes wandered among Shao Yun and the other three, and finally stopped at Shao Yun, who was wearing a gambler's hat.

"Don't worry, I'll kill the guy with the hat." Huang Mazi's voice was low and cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already decided Shao Yun's fate.

Then he gave orders to his younger brother on the left.

"Go and kill that dandy boy!" He pointed his finger at Zhongli, the young man who was always so elegant and graceful.

Then, he turned to his younger brother on the right, with a hint of amusement in his tone.

"Then you, deal with those two women, one big and one small. Remember to capture them alive!"

His eyes lingered on Ying and Paimon, as if he had already seen how they were willing to surrender.

Shao Yun felt speechless as he watched the three members of the treasure-stealing group plotting loudly.

It’s just like Chu Renmei challenging the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, she thinks her life is too long!

"Are all treasure-stealing groups so brainless these days?"

Shao Yun took a deep breath, turned around and said to the three people behind him: "Close your eyes and cover your ears. Children are not allowed to watch the following scene!"

Upon hearing Shao Yun's order, Ying and Paimeng immediately closed their eyes obediently and covered their ears with their hands.

However, Zhongli remained unmoved. He still stood there with his eyes as calm as water, as if he had not heard Shao Yun's words.

Shao Yun noticed Zhong Li's reaction and frowned slightly. He looked at Zhong Li's calm face and couldn't help but feel a little confused. He asked, "You?" There was a hint of inquiry and confusion in his tone.

Zhongli smiled slightly, looked around, then pointed at himself and asked, "I'm not a child either, am I?"

His voice was calm and confident, as if he didn't care about Shao Yun's opinion.

Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and watch if you want."

Then Shao Yun took out the golden Scofield revolver from his waist with an expressionless face.

To deal with these three treasure-stealing gangs with underdeveloped brains, opening the Eye of Death would be an insult to oneself!

Shao Yun fired calmly and leisurely, and fired two shots, both accurate and hitting the heads of the two nameless treasure thieves directly.

The moment the bullet penetrated their heads, their lives fell like a meteor.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun pointed the gun at Huang Mazi.

Huang Mazi, the treasure-stealing gang member who usually commits many evil deeds in the mountains and forests, now has a pale face and his legs are shaking constantly.

How did my younger brother die?

As the gunshots rang out again, blood gushed out of Huang Mazi's thigh instantly. He screamed and fell to the ground in pain.

"Ah! Ouch, it hurts so much!" Huang Mazi covered his wound, grimacing in pain, his voice full of despair and fear.

Shao Yun approached slowly, his eyes were cold as ice, without a trace of pity. He stepped on Huang Mazi's back and crushed him hard, as if he could kill him with one step.

"Are you twisted? I just killed fifteen people, and you dare to stab me like this!"

Shao Yun's voice was cold and majestic, which made Huang Mazi shudder.

Huang Mazi felt an unprecedented fear. He begged for mercy quickly, his voice trembling and weak: "Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, grandpa, your grandson is blind, ah, ah!"

Just as Huang Mazi was begging for mercy, Shao Yun pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and cut off Huang Mazi's ear with one knife.

Then Shao Yun looked at the bloody ear in his hand and said calmly: "I gave you a chance, but you are like a deaf person. Since the ear is useless, forget it."

His tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was doing something insignificant, and then he threw Huang Mazi's ear aside.

Huang Mazi was in so much pain that he almost fainted. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Help, someone save me!"

However, in this ancient ruin in the wilderness, his cries only brought more echoes and despair.

At this moment, Zhongli stood quietly, his eyes fixed on the shivering Huang Mazi on the ground, watching him begging non-stop.

But Zhongli seemed to be surrounded by an invisible iceberg. There was no expression on his face, only a pair of deep eyes, as if he was seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.

Ying and Paimon stood aside, covering their ears and closing their eyes tightly, blocking out all the violence and blood.

Shao Yun stood opposite Huang Mazi, with his foot on his back, exerting a little force to make Huang Mazi unable to move. There was a terrifying smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being in control of everything.

He rolled his eyes and suddenly came up with an idea, so he said, "Huang Mazi, I'll give you a chance. I'll give you a brain teaser. If you answer it correctly, I'll let you surrender to Liyue Harbor and give you a chance to live."

When Huang Mazi heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Shao Yun with a flattering smile on his face.

But he suddenly realized that this might be a trap, so he asked cautiously: "What if I answer wrong?"

Shao Yun smiled slightly and pointed at the Guizhong Machine in the distance. It was a huge mechanical device, and its spikes flashed coldly in the sun. He said coldly: "If you answer wrong, I will use the Guizhong Machine to nail you to the ground!"

Huang Mazi's heart trembled when he heard this. He knew how powerful Gui Zhongji was, and if the spike pierced his body, he would be dead.

But he also knew that this was his only chance, so he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "You come up with the questions."

Shao Yun pursed his lips slightly, as if savoring the riddle that was about to be uttered. The quiet and mysterious atmosphere made Huang Mazi shiver.

Shao Yun lowered his head slightly, staring at the yellow pockmarks on the ground, with a playful smile on his lips. He slowly began to tell a brain teaser.

"Question: There was a madman who walked into a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. He also specifically told the boss not to put chopped green onions, otherwise he would kill the boss. The boss carefully made a bowl of beef noodles according to his request, and indeed did not put chopped green onions. However, what is puzzling is that the madman still killed the boss. So, do you know why?"

After hearing this, Huang Mazi frowned, as if he was trapped by this puzzle.

He racked his brains to try to find the answer, but it always seemed like he was just a little bit short.

Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and it felt as if his entire brain was hot and about to smoke.

Finally, he couldn't think of anything and burst into tears, shouting in a trembling voice: "Ah! What the hell is this? Why!"

Seeing this, Shao Yun laughed coldly and said slowly, "Because he doesn't eat beef."

This sound seemed to come from the depths of hell. Huang Mazi opened his eyes wide in horror and cried, "Why did you order beef noodles if you don't eat beef? You really want me to die!"

After hearing this, Shao Yun pretended to be enlightened, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! The behavior of a madman is indeed difficult to understand. But it always allows us to find answers in unexpected places."

Huang Mazi was so frightened after hearing this that he almost peed his pants. He looked at Shao Yun in horror, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, Master! Hey!"

He grasped Huang Mazi's collar tightly, and his fingers were like iron pliers. He lifted him up by one foot without any explanation, forcing the trembling body to stand unsteadily.

Shao Yun's eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.

He took firm steps and dragged Huang Mazi to the huge return machine beside him.

Shao Yun manipulated the Guizhong machine skillfully; every movement seemed so calm and yet full of power.

This ancient machine emits a low roar, as if telling of endless vicissitudes and the past.

"You are lucky, Huang Mazi." Shao Yun's voice echoed in the silent ancient city wall, "You are about to enjoy the same treatment as Prometheus. He also had diamond nails in his chest, and you will be pierced with an arrow. However, he can live! But you will forever become a dried corpse in this world!"

When Huang Mazi heard this, his face turned pale as paper. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he tried to struggle to escape this terrible fate.

However, Shao Yun just glanced at him coldly, and the warning in his eyes was self-evident.

"If you dare to run, I will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death."

Huang Mazi's heart completely sank to the bottom. He gave up struggling, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, his voice filled with endless despair and pleading.

"Grandpa! I beg you! I will go to Liyue Harbor to turn myself in. I swear I will never do bad things again! Please give me a chance to reform!"

However, Shao Yun was not shaken by his plea for mercy. He shook his head with no expression on his face.

He manipulated the machine again and aimed at Huang Mazi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Smile."

Huang Mazi's smile was uglier than crying.

“It’s not photogenic…”

After he finished speaking, there was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow as thick as a bowl shot out from the Gui Zhongji, instantly piercing Huang Mazi's heart and nailing him firmly to the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Huang Mazi's body trembled violently for a few times under the impact of the arrow, and then he became motionless.

There was still a look of fear and despair in his eyes, but it was all over.

Zhongli took it all in, and then his eyes fell on Shao Yun who had just stepped off the Guizhong plane not far away.

Shao Yun's face still showed the coldness and determination after the battle. He gently wiped the blood from his hands.

Zhongli looked at Shao Yun, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He looked again at the lifeless Huang Mazi on the ground, the huge arrow, and the glaring pool of blood under him.

Zhongli sighed and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Shao Yun, you are so cold-blooded and heartless."

When Shao Yun heard Zhong Li's words, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He faced Zhong Li and said, "There is nothing I can do. In this world, either someone else kills me or I kill others. Moreover, the people I killed were not innocent unarmed civilians, but members of the treasure-stealing group."

Zhongli nodded to show his understanding. He did not mean to blame Shao Yun, but just hoped that he could be more decisive.

"I don't object to you killing bad guys, but you should kill more freely next time. Killing people is not something a normal person should do. Don't act like a madman."

After hearing this, Shao Yun smiled faintly. He did not explain or refute too much, but just nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, I will pay attention to it next time."

But Shao Yun thought to himself that as long as the system didn’t deduct honor points, it would be fine.

At this time, a team of Thousand Rocks troops came from the direction of Liyue Harbor.

"Don't even move!"

Shao Yun looked at the Qianyan Army who arrived late and said to himself, "If they had come earlier, this Huang Mazi could have lived a few more days. What a pity."
