Chapter 1467: Chapter 439: Knowledge Changes Destiny (3)

This time, these two guys had guns in their hands.

Chen Yan laughed.

He looked at the leader for a couple of seconds. Under the "Illusion Breaking" divine technique, this guy’s fate was crystal clear.

"Hmm... these guys, their fate shouldn’t end here." Chen Yan muttered softly to himself.

However, it’s just right for an experiment.

With this thought, Chen Yan’s smile widened.

He listened to the people outside the car shouting loudly, and some even raised guns, gesturing.

Chen Yan smirked and then started the car!

The engine roared, and the other side thought Chen Yan was going to run, immediately causing a commotion.

With a smile, Chen Yan shifted into reverse, but didn’t speed up; the car just slowly rolled backward.

Several local thugs rushed forward, banging on the motorhome’s body with their weapons.

The leader, however, stood in place, shouting and commanding aggressively.

Chen Yan had already backed the car up more than twenty meters. Then, he shifted gears and hit the accelerator!

With a roar, the engine thundered and the cumbersome body of the motorhome shot forward!

Chen Yan floored the accelerator, and then...

Amid the leader’s panicked shouts, his body instinctively retreated, nearly back against the pickup truck.

But the motorhome still crashed straight into him!

This collision, involving several tons if not more of a vehicle, smashed this gangster leader directly against the pickup truck, causing both men and the side of the pickup to dent inward!

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Chen Yan clearly saw the opponent being crushed into the side of the pickup, the expression on his face changing from fierce to panicked and finally to terrified.

He could even clearly see blood spraying from the guy’s mouth and nose...

The surrounding thugs seemed stunned too.

Before they could react, Chen Yan had already jumped out of the driver’s seat of the motorhome.

A handgun had appeared in his hand.

Bang bang, two shots hit two thugs holding guns, or rather, bandits.

Then, bang, the third shot blew the head off a guy wielding a knife.

The fourth shot broke the leg of a guy, causing him to fall to the ground, wailing.

The last bandit seemed scared stiff, his weapon dropped from his hand, and he seemed to want to run but his legs kept trembling.

Finally, he fell to his knees and started shouting at Chen Yan in a language Chen Yan couldn’t understand, presumably begging.

Chen Yan ignored him, walked over, kicked him down, intending to finish him off with a shot...

Unexpectedly, he holstered his gun again.

Because this pleading guy was actually speaking English.

Although his accent was strange and he spoke haltingly, it was at least English.

His English was clearly much better than that gas station kid who could only say two or three words.

Chen Yan smiled, put away the gun, and looked at this guy: "You speak English?"

"I... I went to college."

Oh?

Chen Yan was a bit surprised. In such a rural remote place, he expected bandits to be nothing more than local wastrels from impoverished, harsh lands.

To think one had actually been to university?

Seeing Chen Yan’s puzzled expression, the guy quickly spoke: "I passed the foundation course, studied for a year, then... because I stole something, I was locked up and didn’t continue school."

Alright, Chen Yan nodded. Although technically, a foundation course isn’t college, but...

At least he had some education.

·

The bandit that Chen Yan spared at the end was named Ah Kui. How exactly to spell it is unknown, and it may not be a full name, but a short form. Anyway, that’s how it’s pronounced, Ah Kui.

This guy appeared to be the skinniest among the bandits, yet he was the only one who survived.

You couldn’t deny that knowledge could change destiny!

·

Ten minutes later, Chen Yan was sitting outside the iron shell of the gas station’s large bus on a chair brought by the gas station kid, holding an open can of iced Coke.

Well, although it was American Coke, it would do.

Because the kid even managed to come up with iced Coke, which was rare.

In this town, electricity must not be easy to come by.

As for Ah Kui, he was working as labor, energetically moving corpses.

The two guns belonging to the bandits were tucked into the gas station kid’s belt, and he seemed a bit too excited now.

But fear was still in his eyes, just temporarily suppressed by excitement.

Ah Kui moved the corpses to the back of the gas station, and the kid went over to help handle them.

Obviously, this kid wasn’t an innocent child either.

What kind of innocent child would know to search the bodies before moving them?

Chen Yan went over to take a look, and found that the two of them together were throwing the bodies down a well behind the gas station, so he didn’t bother himself anymore.

Ah Kui was busy moving corpses, and once done, Chen Yan tossed him a rag and pointed to his motorhome.

There had been blood sprayed on the motorhome earlier.

Ah Kui immediately nodded, nodding and bowing, went to fetch a bucket of water and took a bottle of cleaner, carrying the rag to clean the car.

Meanwhile, the gas station kid skillfully started the pickup truck, drove it to the empty space inside the gas station, and took a hose and an empty fuel drum.

Watching him expertly open the pickup’s fuel tank and siphon the gasoline into the drum.

Well, every place has its own local customs.

However, Chen Yan only glanced twice, then withdrew his gaze, not bothering to pay attention to these.

He sat on the deck chair, drinking Coke, thinking about one thing.

He’d killed people.

And they were people whose fate wasn’t supposed to end.

Yet... the Heavenly Dao did not punish him!

It didn’t deduct his primordial qi cultivation, nor did it lower his yuan qi affinity!

It seemed that everything remained unchanged!

Before breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, Chen Yan had tried many times while acting on Heaven’s Will.

If he killed the right people, the Heavenly Dao rewarded.

But if he killed those whose fate shouldn’t end, the Heavenly Dao would also punish.

Therefore, previously, Chen Yan was cautious in acting on Heaven’s Will, avoiding killing unless absolutely necessary.

But now...

It seemed the Heavenly Dao no longer punished him!

Recalling using storage magical artifacts from the Domain Realm before and casting a spell or two from the Domain Realm.

The Heavenly Dao hadn’t given him any negative feedback.

So...

"I don’t have to curry favor anymore."

Chen Yan sighed.

Indeed, after breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm, his status upgraded from being a suck-up to the Heavenly Dao to being its darling, even its spokesperson.

With different status, the rules differ.

Having insufficient status, using Domain Realm cultivation was called betrayal!

Becoming a darling, touching Domain Realm cultivation elements, that was mastering others’ strengths...

It’s all about status.

·

That gas station kid was clever. After siphoning off the pickup’s gasoline, he didn’t know where he found an oilcloth, used it to cover the pickup.

Finally, he stood a short distance away, eyes blinking rapidly, watching Chen Yan for a moment, patted his forehead, and hurried into the iron-shelled building, rummaged around briefly, and then ran out, ran over to Chen Yan, squatting beside Chen Yan’s chair.

The kid squatted there, holding a...

Mini electric fan!

And it was a rechargeable kind, looking a bit worn out, without knowing where he’d scavenged it from.

He just squatted there, holding the fan, aiming it at Chen Yan, while staring up at Chen Yan earnestly, with a clearly forced ingratiating smile on his face.
