Chapter 1464: He got the wrong person. In fact, Iron Ox was rather impetuous, and this situation wasn't entirely beyond expectation. Please remember our website address: . He has always been naturally suspicious, and today he came to the fields specifically to check on Chunni'er, out of concern for her. To his surprise, after circling the fields and failing to spot Chunni'er anywhere, he had by accident wound up here at the brick kiln. He hadn't expected that his chance encounter would turn out so fortunate—he not only found Chunni'er, but also noticed a very attractive young man standing not far from her. Iron Niu had suspected something all along, though initially he had been frustrated after suffering a major setback when he fought with Lu Yun. Despite his growing irritation, he had dared not openly challenge Lu Yun. While he had suspected that Chunni'er might be involved with Lu Yun in some way, he lacked concrete evidence to prove that she had done anything detrimental to him. Thus, after being struck twice by Lu Yun's powerful punches, he had only managed to suppress his anger. Yet, what he hadn't expected was that, when he rushed into the brick kiln intending merely to relieve himself—though his real purpose was to go inside and gently massage the sore spots on his face, bruised by Lu Yun—he unexpectedly discovered a layer of soft, dry grass spread across the floor, with one patch of grass noticeably damp, clearly indicating someone had rested there. At first, he didn't give it much thought, assuming someone had grown tired working in the fields and had come to rest briefly, or perhaps someone had simply used the grass to urinate. But then, suddenly, he spotted a crumpled roll of tissue paper, stained with blood. Curiosity piqued, Iron Niu bent down and picked it up—it was still damp, the blood fresh, clearly just used and discarded there. Instantly, he realized with a jolt: this must have been left by Chun Ni. Otherwise, when he arrived, he would have seen no one else along the way. Who else could have left such a blood-stained tissue paper? The damn kid! The woman I couldn't even get to—now you've snuck in and taken her! It's unbearable for any man to bear this indignity. Even though I knew I wasn't up to Land Yun's level, I still burst out of the brick kiln in a fury. After briefly checking in with Chun Ni'er, I'm telling you—here comes my period! Are you trying to make me look like a fool? This is you, the lowlife, cheating on me behind my back, getting yourself laid! For heaven's sake! Once I settled on my thoughts, the bull went full mad. He didn't care whether his judgment was right or not, just swung his stick wildly, hammering Land Yun's head with all his might. Didn't I just glance at Chun Ni'er playing by herself in the kiln? And I didn't even do it on purpose! Did you really intend to kill me? "Big guy, are you out of your mind? Don't think I didn't flirt with your woman. Even if I did, what could you possibly do to me?" Lu Yun was furious. He had just come out to clear his head, only to be pinned down by this big, solid fellow. Honestly, did he think Lu Yun was made of clay? The moment Lu Yun said this, the iron-strong man became even more frantic, swinging his staff around like a windmill, rushing it furiously at Lu Yun. If Lu Yun hadn't dodged so swiftly, he'd have taken at least seventeen or eighteen blows by now. "Iron-Strong Man, don't wrong this good guy! He was just passing by—there's nothing between us. Please stop!" Chun Ni'er had now regained her composure. Watching Iron-Strong Man launch his relentless attacks on Lu Yun, she was deeply worried about any mishap, quickly rising from the ground and rushing over, shouting at him while moving forward. "You useless little thing! You've been played, and now you're even pleading on his behalf? Once I've finished with this young man, I'll come right after and take care of you!" The Iron Bull, brimming with raw strength, kept hurling and sweeping his staff throughout the battle, though it never once touched the edge of Lu Yun's clothes. Yet he never seemed to tire, relentlessly launching one blow after another. Though his attacks lacked finesse, they were powered by sheer force. If Lu Yun absorbed a single blow, he was confident he could dislodge the bull's staff and subdue him completely. But to endure a blow without reason—especially one that didn't land with precision—would leave Lu Yun feeling unsatisfied, even if he managed to pin the giant down. The problem was, the Iron Bull's staff movements were incredibly rapid, as though his entire body were overflowing with energy. Lu Yun kept retreating, finally being driven against the trunk of a tree. As the bull swept his staff across, Lu Yun stepped back, his back now pressed firmly against the tree. "You little scamp," the bull growled, launching a second wave of attacks—sweeping across, aiming straight for Lu Yun's head. "Stay alert." Chunni, who had rushed over, immediately shouted a warning to Lu Yun. Yet Lu Yun merely gave a slight frown, swiftly crouched down, and deflected the sweeping strike from Tieniao with a single staff. Then, he powerfully pushed off the ground with both feet, launching himself like a leopard—swift and relentless—toward Tieniao. As Tieniao failed to dodge, Lu Yun swiftly extended his wrist, gripping firmly with his five fingers like iron clamps on the staff he was holding, and roared, "Let go!" "Ow!" Tieniao cried out in pain, releasing his grip, and the staff immediately fell to the ground. "I'm going all out—this time, I'm done!" Despite having his right wrist secured, Tieniao's eyes remained blazing with fury. He roared, lifting his left hand and driving a solid punch straight toward Lu Yun's forehead. Thwack! Lu Yun neatly avoided the punch, yet in that very instant of evading it, he felt a sudden blur—seeming to see someone surge between himself and Tieniao. A dull thud echoed, and Iron Bull's fist landed squarely on his target. Iron Bull felt a surge of satisfaction—no matter how strong the young one was, a punch from him would surely leave him dazed and disoriented for a while. With his mind set, he suddenly exerted force with his right hand, hoping to free it from the hold while Land Yun was still recovering from his own punch. Yet, as Iron Bull applied pressure to his wrist, a quick glance revealed that he hadn't struck Land Yun at all—he had hit Chun Ni'er instead. Upon receiving the blow, Chun Ni'er didn't even utter a sound; her body simply went limp and collapsed, landing right into the arms of the young man who had been holding her wrist. The Iron Bull stared with wide, teary eyes, shouting in surprise. He never expected Chun Ni'er to rush over just then. Clearly, his punch had landed squarely on her forehead. As he thought about this, cold sweat poured down his back. He knew well how strong he was—how could a delicate, frail girl like Chun Ni'er possibly withstand such a powerful blow? Please, please, don’t happen anything! Otherwise, he’d never marry his wife and might even end up in prison! "You young scamp, let go of me!" With the weight of consequences pressing down, his heart sank instantly, and he strained hard against Lu Yun’s five fingers, eager to see just how badly Chun Ni'er had been injured.
