I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal

He carefully sensed the smell there.

Chen Yun could confirm that, at the moment, there was another person's scent in the men's restroom besides an injured victim who was bleeding.

He stood still for a moment, lost in thought.

After judging through smell that the victim's blood loss wouldn't lead to death shortly, Chen Yun chose not to be the one who walked into the restroom.

Compared to his curiosity about the smell of blood,

he was even less willing to frequently appear in the sight of the public and officials.

So, he pretended to tie his shoelaces unconcernedly,

while his peripheral vision kept tabs on two other pedestrians who were also heading toward the restroom, letting them be the first to check the situation inside.

However, before those two pedestrians could get close,

the door to the restroom was violently pushed open with a slam.

The man with blood on his body and a dagger in his hand charged out with a ferocious expression.

The surrounding people were first stunned,

then they shouted out in alarm and stepped back.

The two pedestrians who were closer and wanted to use the restroom scramble and fled even more frantically.

Spotting this,

Chen Yun also immediately decided to follow the crowd, preparing to step back.

He wanted to retreat behind the others,

but perhaps because he was closer and didn't show any obvious panic on his face,

the knife-wielding man locked onto him at a glance.

Without any hesitation, he rushed toward him at increased speed.

Around Chen Yun was a congested, jostling crowd, clearly leaving little space to run.

But...

At this moment, Chen Yun's heart was surprisingly devoid of any trace of panic.

Looking at the knife-wielding man who was closing the distance with every two steps,

Chen Yun felt as though the whole world in front of him had slowed down at that moment.

He could clearly see

the knife-wielder's eyes filled with malice,

even the bulging veins on the man's hand tightly clutching the dagger and the drops of sweat oozing from his forehead were noticed by him.

Beyond that,

the man's heart rate, accelerated by adrenaline, and his rapid breaths were as clear in his ear as the beating of a war drum.

Gazing at the man who was getting closer,

Chen Yun's heart couldn't find a shred of the panic that should be there.

In fact...

was there even a sense of... anticipation?

This reaction was nothing like what the former him would have.

Chen Yun's mentality now seemed to have also subtly changed along with the changes in his body.

Watching the man who was almost within arm's reach,

and the knife blade that seemed to glint with cold light,

he heard the cries of the many people around him,

Chen Yun was not only unflustered, but he was also focusing on the knife-wielder's neck.

A thought rose in his heart,

'I feel like... I could easily tear this man's throat?'

His hands trembled slightly.

Chen Yun suppressed the rising desire to counterattack.

This was, after all, a public place.

His choice was to lightly sidestep to the right, narrowly avoiding the man's first stab with the dagger.

Looking at the man's incredulous gaze,

listening to the successive exclamations of the crowd,

Chen Yun only felt that this man's movements were too slow; at that instant, it seemed he had at least twenty different methods to put the man to death.

In silence,

Chen Yun suppressed his desire to fight.

Choosing to step back and dodge the man's sweeping strike after missing the first attack,

watching the frenzy in the man's eyes,

Chen Yun seized the moment when the man's old strength had just faded, and new strength had not yet emerged, and grabbed his wrist holding the dagger.

Then, with a sweep of his leg,

he struck directly at the man's lower body.

The next moment, the man fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Yun swiftly moved forward, pressing his knee against the man's back, and snatched the dagger from his hand.

The entire battle was not complicated.

Even one could say it was over quickly.

The whole process consisted of only two dodges and a swift, accurate, and fierce knife seizure and leg sweep.

Chen Yun, relying on his precise dynamic vision, extremely fast reaction speed, and much stronger strength than before,

along with the battle instinct exuding from his bones,

easily subdued such an armed and crazed adult.

These combat skills,

they seemed like an inheritance etched in his bones.

Moreover, there were even more moves, such as ripping throats with fingernails, that Chen Yun calmly controlled with sheer willpower.

The surrounding crowd, who had been exclaiming in shock, all stopped.

Some clapped, others loudly praised the youngster's skill.

The fight started and ended so quickly that these onlookers had immediately shifted from fleeing to spectating, not even having the chance to record it.

Bai Shi, who had heard the commotion and come to see the excitement, was also squeezed among the crowd.

Looking at Chen Yun, his expression read: I didn't realize you were so fierce, kid.

Regarding all this,

Chen Yun didn't pay much attention.

Instead, he couldn't help contemplating his sudden combat desire and instincts.

It seemed as if

he was filled with a longing for battle.

When the armed man charged at him,

his mind was completely filled with

and also inexplicably possessed an extremely strong battle instinct.

Before long,

the resident police officers of Qianxiang City arrived.

After all, this was a large shopping mall.

There were many police officers nearby.

After briefly grasping the situation, they took custody of the man from Chen Yun's hands, controlling him with handcuffs they brought.

Afterward,

some police officers questioned the spectators on the scene for details.

Some went to obtain surveillance footage from the shop owners.

Some searched the bathroom the man had come rushing out of, finding a victim with a knife wound in the arm, who, after receiving simple treatment, was hurriedly sent to the nearest hospital.

Meanwhile, some officers came to Chen Yun to make a brief record.

Under such circumstances, with many onlookers and shop surveillance,

Chen Yun didn't need to record too much.

However, the police officers still needed to ask a few routine questions according to the protocol.

Standing in an unoccupied corner of a shop,

an old and a young officer faced Chen Yun with friendly smiles.

The young officer was ready to take notes,

while the old officer chuckled as he offered Chen Yun a cigarette.

"I don't smoke."

Chen Yun waved his hand, declining.

He had avoided tobacco and alcohol since he was young.

It was only a few years ago when he became neighbors with Bai Shi that he started occasionally drinking wine together.

Hearing this,

the old officer casually pocketed the cigarette back and then said to Chen Yun, "Hello, Mr. Chen, right? My name is Liu Cunsheng. I will now be conducting a brief legal inquiry, please cooperate."

"Sure, of course, I'll cooperate."

Chen Yun nodded.

He indicated his willingness to cooperate.

Besides respecting those who maintain public order, like the police officers, he generally preferred not to have too much contact.

Considering his own unique situation,

But given the current circumstances,

since contact was unavoidable, naturally, he couldn't just leave without a second thought.

Chen Yun pondered for a moment and realized that he hadn't shown any special abilities, just quick reflexes in subduing the assailant.

As long as he spoke seriously and cooperated well with the police work,

After all, he had acted in defense of justice, and there were so many people watching.

He figured it wouldn't be a problem.

After cooperating with the recording, it wouldn't be long before he could leave.
