Chapter 390: Still Being Meddlesome
Chapter 390: Still Being Meddlesome
August 22, 2024
The young master before them had picked up his horsewhip again.
A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
"In this area, my Shadow Dragon Colt roams freely, and no one has ever dared to startle my horse."
"Where did you come from, you fool? How dare you be so arrogant?"
The Shadow Dragon Colt was one of the world's finest steeds, its body pitch-black without a hint of discoloration.
When it ran, it was like a fleeting shadow in the night.
Such a horse might not be of much use, but it was a symbol of status.
Ren Yanfei, who accumulated contributions so quickly, would likely need nearly a month's worth of contributions to obtain one.
The man before them wore a face of arrogance.
His words also exuded dominance.
"Brother, I was worried about my little sister's safety, so I was a bit hasty just now.
"We'll compensate you for any damages. Just tell us the amount."
Upon seeing the approaching guards, Tan Kun quickly adopted a conciliatory attitude and offered to make amends.
"Brother, we're from the Third Battle Team.
This is Su Xing, who has been making waves recently. You must have heard of him."
"If there's been a misunderstanding, we can seek clarification from our commander, Qin Wei."
Tan Kun intended to use Su Chen's reputation to defuse the situation.
However, the young master probably hadn't heard what he said.
Indeed, at that moment, Hu Xingyi's heart was filled with anger, and he didn't hear a word.
"Su Xing of the Third Battle Team, temporarily in charge of canyon exploration affairs.
Please forgive any offense in the face of danger."
Su Chen had been trying his best to endure and didn't want to cause trouble here.
At this moment, Hu Xingyi finally heard the name 'Su Xing'.
A sinister smile appeared on his face, even more so than before.
"Heh, so you're Su Xing.
I was wondering where to find you, you fool. I didn't expect to meet you here."
He turned to his two guards and gestured for them to attack.
"Go ahead, but don't kill them. Just don't hold back.
If he escapes, it'll be a hassle to find him at the Third Battle Team."
Hearing this, Su Chen immediately pushed Tan Kun and his sister away.
"You two go first. I'll handle this."
Tan Kun nodded and quickly led his little sister away.
After running some distance, they spotted a haystack nearby.
Tan Lei hid inside, and Tan Kun rushed towards the Third Battle Team's camp.
He knew that this young master he had encountered was no ordinary opponent.
He needed to inform the commander.
At this moment, Su Chen was already engaged with Hu Xingyi's two guards.
The martial prowess of the Jin Kingdom was evident even here.
Two Sixth Stage Intermediate Realm martial artists, yet they could only serve as bodyguards to a young master.
In the Great Zhou, younger individuals would have the qualifications to become direct disciples in sects.
Even those of advanced age could easily serve as respected bodyguards within sects.
Here, they were reduced to following a young master.
Initially, when they came out for a stroll, Tan Kun said there was no need to bring weapons.
Fortunately, Su Chen preferred not to leave his sword behind.
The martial arts of the Great Zhou were evidently inferior to those of the Jin Kingdom.
But it wasn't that Su Chen was weaker than them.
With a swing of his long sword, he didn't need to employ overly flashy techniques.
Merely by increasing his speed, he left the two guards behind.
Under the tempering of the Heavenly Dao Heart Scripture, Su Chen's foundation was far superior to others.
Facing opponents of the same realm, even against two, he had the upper hand with ease.
He even unleashed the Serpent Ensnarement Technique, a movement technique that astonished Sang Moyuan.
In front of him, the two bodyguards were no match for Su Chen.
With just two moves, the two bodyguards' techniques became primarily defensive.
Hu Xingyi probably didn't expect that his two bodyguards would be no match for a young Martial Artist who hadn't even achieved much.
Despite both being Sixth Stage, they were no match for Su Chen.
Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, Hu Xingyi took out a firework and shot it into the sky.
Soon, three more bodyguards arrived.
These three were even stronger than the two currently fighting Su Chen.
All three had reached the Sixth Stage Perfect Realm.
They held identical longswords.
With just a glance, they immediately joined the attack on Su Chen.
Seeing this, Su Chen no longer hesitated.
[Blade Master], [Graceful], and [Luckbringer], three Heavenly Destinies were activated.
As the longsword swung, its ruthless aura was almost unbearable.
The three newcomers probably didn't expect that they, as Sixth Stage Perfect Realm Martial Artists, would be at a disadvantage against Su Chen.
Facing Su Chen, they were losing ground.
Their attacks grew fiercer, and Su Chen no longer held back.
He feinted with a false strike and followed up with a real one.
As he unleashed the [Serpent Ensnarement Technique], Su Chen became as unpredictable as a deceptive snake.
Blood seeped from the tip of his blade, and one of the bodyguards' thighs was pierced through.
Next was the second and third.
The two who had initially attacked Su Chen were the least injured.
But at this moment, they kept retreating, trying to hide behind Hu Xingyi.
If they didn't care about saving face, they would have probably sought refuge behind Hu Xingyi.
"Didn't you ask what skills I have to hold a grudge against you? Is this one of them?"
As Su Chen approached, Hu Xingyi finally started to panic.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my grandfather is in the Tahe Sect?"
His voice trembled slightly.
"There's a saying, isn't there? Ignorance is bliss. As long as you don't know my identity, attacking me carries no blame."
Su Chen's words carried a hint of mockery.
Hu Xingyi, who had been grinning maliciously, now showed fear on his face.
He felt that Su Chen would indeed retaliate.
And as he expected, in an instant, Su Chen swung his blade again.
The sword aura surged forward, and the two bodyguards managed to block some of the impact.
But the force was still so powerful that Hu Xingyi was knocked over, his face covered in sand and dust.
For Su Chen, offending a core disciple of a major sect like Sang Moyuan was already a significant issue.
Would he also offend a spoiled young master?
Not far away, the commander, Qin Wei, had already arrived.
Seeing this scene, his face was deeply furrowed.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Wei immediately expressed concern upon seeing Su Chen.
"I'm fine, commander. Don't worry, I just caused some trouble for the battle unit."
Hearing this, Qin Wei patted Su Chen's shoulder lightly.
"This is Hu Xingyi, the grandson of Elder Hu from the Tahe Sect."
Qin Wei's face carried a faint smile.
It was clear that he could guess the reason for this incident, or rather, the source of the trouble.
But due to his position, he could only let Hu Xingyi off the hook and couldn't pursue the matter further.
"Young Master Hu, it's better to resolve grudges than to create them. Can you give me, the commander, some face?"
Qin Wei approached Hu Xingyi and spoke, effectively giving him a way out.
With Qin Wei's arrival, it was almost impossible for Hu Xingyi to retaliate against Su Chen.
His face twisted in a grimace, and he glared at Su Chen.
"I'll make you pay for this.
You have your protectors, but do those two, the man and woman by your side, also have someone to protect them?"
