Chapter 429: The Hidden Hawk?

"Is this the power of a Supreme Being?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned.
A single slash.
Just the aftermath of the attack destroyed dozens of mechas, including those that were sixty to seventy meters tall, comparable to Sixth to Seventh Rank Supreme Powerhouses.
The Supreme Being of the Gu Family, as the main target, was instantly killed! He didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy.
And Gu Tianyuan and the others, standing right next to the old man of the Gu Family, naturally couldn't escape either, and their deaths were even more gruesome.
At that moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
Finally, someone reacted, screaming and running away without looking back.
The others were also startled awake, scattering in all directions.
The most terrified were the mecha pilots, fearing that the old woman on the ground would give them another slash without a word.
In a few blinks of an eye, the crowd that had surrounded the area tightly had vanished without a trace.
If it weren't for the human tissues, blood, and various mecha remnants left on the ground, one might have thought that everything that happened before was just an illusion.
"Master..."
Chu Feng was about to say something, but the old woman shouted loudly, "The two young friends hiding in the shadows, how long are you going to hide?"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the hearts of Jiang Cheng and the others, which had just calmed down, leaped to their throats again.
What, there are still people hiding in the shadows?
There are even Supreme Powerhouses?
"Ha ha ha."
A loud laugh echoed, and a refined old man stepped out.
"Truly worthy of you, Senior Wan. Our small movements cannot escape your eyes."
"Yes, it was said that in the great battle decades ago, Senior Wan suffered severe injuries, and even with the peak strength of a Third Rank Supreme Being, you might not be able to display the power of a First Rank Supreme Being now. But from what we see today, it's clearly a misinterpretation."
Another middle-aged man stepped out, with a sharp, sly face that didn't look trustworthy.
"Ah, so it's the Bai Family's boy."
The old woman's gaze swept over the refined man and then settled on the second person. "And who are you?"
"Senior Wan, my father is the City Lord of Dongfang City, Dong Fang Xiang," the man said with a fawning smile, his heart filled with terror.
"Dongfang City, Dong Fang Xiang?" Jiang Cheng listened quietly from the side, finally understanding the origin of the name Dongfang City.
"Oh, so you're that old man's offspring."
A hint of disdain appeared in the old woman's eyes.
"Did he bring you here?"
"In response to Senior Wan, it was this junior who brought him," Bai Long hurriedly replied. "After Lord Dongfang heard about this matter, he was concerned for Leader Chu, so he specially came over to see if he could be of any help. Fortunately, Senior Wan arrived in time during the critical moment, which also put our minds at ease."
"Yes, yes," Dong Fang Bai nodded vigorously, his back drenched in sweat.
Bai Long is a Second Rank Supreme Being, but he isn't.
He is just an Eighth Rank Primal Force Master, and his purpose here is quite simple: one part is to watch the show, and the other part is to see if there are any opportunities to gain something.
For example, if they had encountered Jiang Cheng and the others first, the Tranquilizing Orb would have fallen into their hands, wouldn't it?
However, naturally, their luck wasn't good enough. The Gu Family members arrived first, hearing the commotion here and rushing over.
"Is that so?"
The old woman smiled sweetly. "Were you hiding in the shadows, hoping to gain from the conflict between-others?"
"How could that be!"
Bai Long was greatly shocked, forcing a bitter smile. "Senior Wan, you really overestimate me. I don't have the strength or the courage-for such a thing."
The broken sword in your hand, if I'm not mistaken, should be the Zhan Tian Jian of the late Chen Tianhao, right?"
"You have a sharp eye, young man."
The old woman nodded, looking at the broken sword in her hand, and said, "Chen big brother used this sword to clear a path for me to escape. The blade eventually broke into two pieces. Fortunately, heaven blessed me, and I managed to retrieve one half of it."
She continued, "Originally a top-tier Ninth Rank treasure, it has now dropped to the Eighth Rank. Even so, it's more than enough to deal with those with sinister intentions."
"Yes, yes, just like that Gu family member. A mere Second Rank Supreme Being, with just a Lightning Spear, he acts so arrogantly. Well done, well done for killing him!" Bai Long quickly flattered.
"That's enough."
The old woman gave him a disdainful look.
"This old lady doesn't like bullying the weak. I didn't want to kill that Gu family kid either, but he insisted on courting death. As for you, are you going to leave on your own, or do you want me to send you on your way?"
"I'll leave on my own, I'll leave on my own." Bai Long nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and gave a glance to the side at Dongfang Bai. Soon, they both disappeared from sight.
"Master, are you alright?" Chu Feng finally had a chance to ask.
"What could possibly happen to me?"
The old woman smiled, "Just a mere Second Rank Supreme Being, even if there were a few more, this old lady wouldn't even bat an eye."
"As expected of Master."
Chu Feng praised.
"Stop flattering me. It's getting late, let's head back first."
"Okay."
They exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of relief from their narrow escape.
"Master, let me introduce you to Jiang Cheng, a Tenth Rank Alchemist. Not only that, but at such a young age, he's already a First Rank Grandmaster."
As they walked, Chu Feng introduced Jiang Cheng.
"I've met the Grand Leader, and thank you for saving my life."
Jiang Cheng quickly expressed his gratitude.
"I can see that, becoming a Grandmaster at such a young age, your future is limitless. Well done, well done."
The old woman smiled warmly at Jiang Cheng.
"The Grand Leader is too kind, I was just lucky." Jiang Cheng hurriedly replied.
"It's not just luck for Jiang Cheng," Elder Qin couldn't help but say. "When he broke through the acupoints, it was as if everything fell into place naturally."
"Is that so?"
"Cough, cough, it's just that during the Primordial Energy Warrior stage, becoming a Grandmaster is a certainty." Jiang Cheng's face turned red.
"It's nothing, young man. This old lady sees great potential in you. You will surely achieve greatness in the future." The old woman smiled.
Jiang Cheng felt even more embarrassed.
"Master, we have another gain from this trip." Chu Feng spoke up.
"Is it the Tranquilizing Orb?"
"Yes, it was pure luck. That Gu family kid happened to have it, and we took it from him. But because of this, we encountered great danger on the way. If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"You should have told me earlier, right after obtaining the Tranquilizing Orb." The old woman gave him a look.
"Yes, I was careless and overconfident."
"Thankfully, everything turned out fine in the end."
The old woman shook her head, "This Tranquilizing Orb is a precious item. With its help, your time to break through to the Supreme Being stage will be shortened by at least a third. What a pity..."
Her voice trailed off, and her face turned red as she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
