Chapter 262: Chapter 148: Inviting Divine Possession _3
The bodyguard stood up straight, neither servile nor overbearing, and cupping one hand in the other before his chest towards Yan Fei, he said, “This friend, judging by your appearance, you are also a Chinese person. With such impressive skills, you must also be a fellow practitioner, and you should have heard of the Cangzhou Sun Family, right? I am the younger brother of Sun Tie, the head of the Cangzhou Sun Family. My name is Sun Yi, and I am here on family orders to protect Mr. Yang Wanlin’s safety. I kindly ask you, my friend, to give Mr. Yang Wanlin a break for the sake of the Sun Family.”
Yan Fei frowned when he heard a name from the bodyguard that had left a deep impression on him: the Cangzhou Sun Family. The first time he heard this name was on the night he killed Zhang Baocheng in the suburbs of Shanghai. On that night, just as he was about to kill Zhang Baocheng, he met a robust young man named Sun Li. His purpose was to protect Zhang Baocheng and prevent Yan Fei from killing him; he claimed to be from the Cangzhou Sun Family, and Sun Tie was his father. However, because Sun Li was too stubborn and desperately tried to stop Yan Fei from killing Zhang Baocheng, he was killed by Yan Fei.
It was precisely Sun Li’s stubbornness that left a deep impression on Yan Fei. Later, with the help of an Auxiliary Brain, he searched the internet for information about the Cangzhou Sun Family and discovered that the family was a large clan, far from simple and had stood unshaken for who knows how many years. According to rumors, the Sun Family was an ancient family, with a history that extended back several thousand years to the present day.
Moreover, according to rumors, the Sun Family was very powerful, and most people did not want to provoke them needlessly. It was just that the Sun Family kept a low profile, so ordinary people did not know much about them, and some had never even heard of them. However, the data obtained by the Auxiliary Brain from the internet was limited, and so Yan Fei’s knowledge of the Sun Family was limited as well. It was unexpected for Yan Fei that he would encounter another member of the Sun Family here, and this person was the younger brother of Sun Tie.
In an instant, Yan Fei thought of many things and recognized the complexity of the Sun Family. However, he was now in the Middle East, thousands of miles away from China, so naturally, there was no need to fear a domestic noble family. He said, “Since you are a member of the Sun Family, you can leave here safely. However, the person behind you must stay, as I have very important matters to ask him.”
Yang Wanlin immediately said, “Mr. Sun, please don’t abandon me!”
Sun Yi replied with neither servility nor arrogance, “I am very sorry, my friend, my task for this trip is to ensure Mr. Yang Wanlin’s safety, so I cannot satisfy your request.”
Yan Fei said coldly, “Are you challenging me?”
Sun Yi said with neither servility nor arrogance, “I apologize, but this is my duty. If, my friend, you insist on pushing me, then we will have no choice but to let our actions speak for themselves.”
Yan Fei was somewhat astonished; Sun Yi had already experienced his methods at the Assassin Sect Headquarters and yet still seemed bold enough to challenge him. In his perception, although Sun Yi was strong, he only had the strength of the Acquired Peak Stage, which was a long way off from his own level, making him no match for Yan Fei. Could it be that everyone in the Sun Family was old and stubborn, refusing to advance or retreat, each one eager to step forward for others’ affairs?
While Yan Fei was puzzled, he saw Sun Yi beginning to take off his clothes. When Sun Yi removed his upper garment completely, Yan Fei saw a strange Bloody Crimson Charm drawn on Sun Yi’s chest and back. This charm looked like a tattoo and was quite eerie on Sun Yi’s body.
As Yan Fei wondered, he watched Sun Yi bring his palms together, first bending his fingers, then extending the index fingers of each hand together towards the sky, forming a strange hand gesture. Sun Yi stamped his feet hard on the ground and chanted something. When Yan Fei listened, he heard Sun Yi chanting, “Taishang Laojun, hasten [as if] by law! I invite the Great Sage Sun into my body…”
Yan Fei was dumbfounded. Was Sun Yi out of his mind, playing the game of inviting divine possession before him? Modern science has proven that the so-called inviting divine possession is nothing more than self-hypnosis, afterwards giving oneself the illusion that a deity has truly possessed their body, which in turn can unlock the potential of one’s body and increase one’s strength. However, such gains in strength are very limited and nowhere enough to bridge the vast gap in strength required to challenge Yan Fei.
But then something shocking happened. As Sun Yi continued with his shaman-like behavior, the Bloody Crimson Talisman on his body started to glow, and a terrifying aura began to emanate from his body. This aura kept increasing as if there were no limits, eventually alarming even Yan Fei, who could feel the immense danger.
It was only then that Yan Fei realized the source of the extreme danger he had felt earlier. Knowing that things were bad, he suddenly had a Heavy machine gun appear in his hands. He aimed the machine gun at Sun Yi and without hesitation pulled the trigger; the gun spat out a long line of fire, and 20 millimeter cannon bullets shot towards Sun Yi’s body.
