Good luck doesn’t last forever. After dealing with eight bandits in a row, Yang Chen’s whereabouts were finally exposed.
“Something’s not right.” The thin scarred man finished his brutal assault and dealt with the humiliated woman, suddenly sensing a cold air and killing intent in the atmosphere. He scanned around, and corpses were already scattered on the ground.
“What’s going on?”
The thin scarred man took a closer look and saw Yang Chen, who had just killed the eighth bandit.
“There are still remnants of Gu family, stay sharp everyone!” the thin scarred man shouted.
After being reminded by the thin scarred man, the remaining five people snapped back to attention. “An enemy attack?”
“Still remnants?”
Each person became fully alert, their eyes on Yang Chen.
When they noticed the eight people around them had unknowingly fallen, they all gasped.
Such a young kid, only thirteen or fourteen years old, had single-handedly dealt with so many of them?
The thin scarred man stared at Yang Chen, his face emotionless and his voice cold, saying, “Kid, I didn’t expect the Gu family to hide a genius like you. At such a young age, you’ve already dealt with so many masters of our Horse-thief Gang. Heh heh, it seems the elders sacrificed themselves to protect you just now without being discovered by the main forces that have already left. But you’re still foolish for coming out and courting death. The main forces might have left, but we’re more than enough to handle you.”
“Fourth Brother, this kid is not from the Gu family, his name is Yang Chen.” Xu Hu, with a cold expression on his face, said, recognizing Yang Chen.
The thin scarred man squinted, “Yang Chen? A member of the Yang family? No, our Horse-thief Gang only annihilated a small clan, and even the great tribes didn’t dare to interfere. So how dare the middle-ranking Yang family meddle in our business?”
“This Yang Chen has a maid named Gu Mingyue, who is from the Gu family.
She is loyal to Yang Chen, so I guess he mostly stood up for her. Otherwise, you see, there are no Yang family elders around.” Xu Hu casually commented, “This
Yang Chen is here to die.”
With this thought, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Yang Chen was the one who caused him to lose an arm, causing his status in the eyes of the Third Master to plummet.
If not for that, he wouldn’t have had to follow the thin scarred man.
Naturally, his hatred for Yang Chen was immeasurable, and seeing Yang Chen come to die, he didn’t mind taking his life.
“Oh? I remember now, the Third Master mentioned it once, Yang Chen, the genius of the Yang family. Hahaha, interesting. The Third Master even said that if given the opportunity, he would definitely take Yang Chen’s life. Since that’s the case, let’s just kill him today for good measure.” The thin scarred man licked his lips, “Perhaps the Third Master would be happy to reward us for this.”
Yang Chen, listening to their various discussions, calmly replied, “Kill me? Let’s see if you have the ability.”
At least he got some useful information: the main force of the Horse-thief Gang had already gone far away, leaving only this small group of people behind.
“Haha, ridiculous, brothers. Don’t hold back, attack!” As the leader, the thin scarred man ordered the others to strike.
Yang Chen, unconsciously squinting, noticed that the thin scarred man didn’t underestimate him at all. Though seemingly disdainful, he immediately made sure everyone attacked.
Yang Chen was well aware of the rule that one can’t stand against multiple opponents.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot afford to be surrounded by these six people.
Once surrounded by the six of them, he would have no chance of winning.
“Pick the soft ones first.” Yang Chen knew how to go about it, targeting the one-armed Xu Hu, with thoughts racing through his mind.
Xu Huts martial arts cultivation was only at the Fifth Level of Body Refining Realm, and with one arm broken, his combat prowess was only equivalent to the Fourth Level.
Killing him wouldn’t be difficult for Yang Chen.
These bandits apparently couldn’t see through Yang Chen’s plan and rushed towards him.
As for Yang Chen, he remained in place and, just as he was about to be surrounded, suddenly locked onto Xu Hu and attacked in an instant. The silver spear in his hand flicked, with precise aim and fierce thrusts.
“Not good!” Xu Hu’s face changed when he saw Yang Chen’s silver spear.
He knew that Yang Chen was not an ordinary opponent like those inexperienced kids from the Yang family.
At least his previous encounter had cost him an arm, which showed that Yang Chen’s killing experience was not much worse than his own, who had been crawling out of a pile of corpses since childhood.
With murderous intent in his silver spear, Yang Chen didn’t hesitate at all.
The moment he aimed at Xu Hu, he went all out.
Xu Hu felt numbness in his hands due to the immense force and lost all sensation. Sweating profusely, a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
“No, he… Body Refining Realm Sixth Layer Peak, it’s impossible. How could this be possible!” Xu Hut s expression changed dramatically.
He never expected Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation to have such a terrifying improvement after their previous fight.
The Body Refining Realm Sixth Layer Peak had an absolute advantage over his power – especially with him having only one hand and Yang Chen having both.
“Puchi! ”
Yang Chen broke through Xu Hu’s defense in an instant, stabbing his spear into Xu Huts heart, taking his life.
Xu Hu’s pupils contracted, his eyes wide with shock, as darkness engulfed his consciousness and his body fell heavily to the ground.
At the very moment Yang Chen killed Xu Hu, he escaped their encirclement and turned around.
“Not good, he killed Xu Hu.”
“This is bad!”
The thin scarred man snorted, “So what if he killed him? What’s there to be afraid of? Since we didn’t protect Xu Hu, we’ll have to face punishment. However, now that he lost an arm, the Third Master wouldn’t take him seriously anymore. He is dead anyway, what can the Third Master do to us?
We’re under the command of the Second Master.”
“That’s true. But this kid is pretty ruthless. To think a young brat like him could kill so efficiently.”
“That Xu Hu was just a worthless piece of garbage. This kid just took advantage of that.’
“He won’t have a chance anymore.”
The remaining bandits, aside from the scar-faced man, were all at the Fifth Layer of Body Refining Realm.
Four people, plus the Seventh Layer thin scarred man, joined forces in an instant, still overwhelming Yang Chen.
The key was still the thin scarred man.
Without this guy, with his mastery of the Mixed Yuan Spear Technique, Yang Chen had enough confidence to defeat the four Fifth-Level martial arts experts single-handedly. However, with the inclusion of the thin scarred man, things became more challenging..
