"Uncle Qin!"
Seeing Qin Long fall, Yang Ruoxue was utterly enraged. "Zhang Heng, how dare you kill Uncle Qin? I'll fight you to the death!"
Yang Ruoxue raised her longsword, immediately charging towards Zhang Heng.
But Su Wuchen stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Yang, calm down!"
Yang Ruoxue, tears welling up in her eyes, said, "He killed Uncle Qin! How can you ask me to calm down?"
With that, she bypassed Su Wuchen, continuing to charge towards Zhang Heng with her sword, thrusting it out.
"Zhang Heng, go down and pay with your life for Uncle Qin!"
Seeing Yang Ruoxue's sword thrust, Zhang Heng didn't dodge or evade. With a composed expression, he extended his left hand and effortlessly pinched Yang Ruoxue's sword blade between two fingers.
Yang Ruoxue was shocked and furious. She wanted to draw her sword, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it free from Zhang Heng's grip.
"You, with your mere Mortal Martial Realm, fifth level, dare to attack me? Isn't this just walking into a trap?"
Zhang Heng sneered. Then, the aura of his own Mortal Martial Realm, seventh level, suddenly erupted, pushing Yang Ruoxue back.
He moved in a flash, instantly appearing in front of Yang Ruoxue and slapping her neck.
"You..."
After a moment of daze, Yang Ruoxue's vision blurred, and she lost consciousness, collapsing.
"Bitch, I'll deal with you later!"
Zhang Heng glanced down at Yang Ruoxue before turning his gaze to Su Wuchen. "Kid, I know you've got some skills. I just saw you kill those Golden Horned Black Wolves. Without you, those few would have been dead long ago!"
"You have decent talent. I can give you a chance to join my side and become my subordinate."
Su Wuchen didn't say anything.
Zhang Heng continued, "Don't worry, you're not like those two wastes who just tried to join me. I'm genuinely inviting you. If you agree not to meddle in other people's affairs and become my subordinate, you won't have to die. How about it?"
Su Wuchen looked disdainful. "I'm sorry, but I take money to do a job. Since I'm already Miss Yang's bodyguard, I naturally can't do anything that would betray her!"
Zhang Heng's eyes narrowed slightly. "So, you're going to be my enemy?"
Su Wuchen shook his head. "No, it's you who's going to be my enemy!"
"Very, very good!"
Zhang Heng's face darkened. "Boy, since you're so eager to die, I can grant you your wish!"
He spoke, then instructed the few people behind him, "Don't attack yet. I want to personally test this kid!"
"Yes!"
The white-robed man and the others responded.
Zhang Heng then looked at Su Wuchen and said, "Kid, I'll give you one last chance. Do you want to submit to me? Become my subordinate?"
"Get lost!"
The word "get lost" escaped Su Wuchen's lips, causing the gloom on Zhang Heng's face to deepen.
"You dare tell me to get lost? No one has ever dared to speak to me like that. Kid, you've successfully angered me!"
Zhang Heng held a sword, his expression extremely grim.
His body flashed, and he soared into the air like a wild crane, lunging towards Su Wuchen, sword thrusting out.
"Shadowing Illusion Sword!"
Su Wuchen immediately activated the Shadowing Illusion Sword, his body vanishing from where he stood. As he moved, phantom images began to overlap, these being his illusory clones.
When Zhang Heng's sword thrust arrived, aiming to pierce Su Wuchen, it struck only air.
"Illusory images… What kind of technique is this?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment. By the time he reacted, Su Wuchen was already behind him.
Su Wuchen had broken through to the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm, and now, after using the Shadowing Illusion Sword, his technique was even more refined.
"Young master, watch out! He's behind you!"
The white-robed man suddenly spoke, warning Zhang Heng.
"What!"
Zhang Heng was startled and immediately turned around.
But at the moment he turned.
Su Wuchen had already slashed a sharp sword qi towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng's face changed drastically!
He immediately retreated.
But the speed of the sword qi was far greater than his retreat.
He wanted to sidestep to avoid it, but it was too late.
Whoosh!
"Argh!"
Zhang Heng's right arm, which held the sword, instantly flew off, and blood gushed out.
The terrifying pain caused him to cry out in agony, looking up at the sky!
"Young Master!"
The man in white robes and the others were shocked and furious.
Su Wuchen suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
Next moment!
He had already charged in front of Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng's only remaining left hand threw a punch at Su Wuchen.
Su Wuchen snorted coldly, but easily caught Zhang Heng's fist and squeezed it hard.
A cracking sound.
"Ah!"
Zhang Heng's fingers were broken, and the pain made him tremble all over, letting out another miserable scream.
Following that.
Su Wuchen sent Zhang Heng flying with a single punch, then raised his right foot and stomped on Zhang Heng's chest.
Zhang Heng's face was contorted with frustration and fury.
But he couldn't move!
"Young master!"
The white-robed man glared at Su Wuchen and shouted, "Boy, let go of my young master!"
Su Wuchen looked at the white-robed man and sneered, "You want me to let him go, and I just let him go? Where's my face in that?"
"You..."
The white-robed man gritted his teeth and roared, "Do you know who you've offended? He's the young master of the Zhang Family! You've beaten him like this, I guarantee you won't live to see the end of this mountain range!"
After he finished speaking.
All the cultivation energy within him erupted.
Boom!
The momentum was terrifying.
Eighth layer of the Mortal Martial Realm!
"Brat, I want you dead!"
The white-robed man moved suddenly, charging towards Su Wuchen!
"Stop! If you dare to come closer, I'll stomp his head!"
Just as the white-robed man was about to charge at Su Wuchen, Su Wuchen lifted his right foot and stepped on Zhang Heng's head.
He didn't put much force into it, or Zhang Heng's head would have already exploded.
The white-robed man's expression twisted with rage. "You dare to threaten me, boy!"
Su Wuchen snorted coldly. "I am threatening you, so what?"
"You…"
The white-robed man gritted his teeth in anger, then pulled out a sword, walked over to Yang Ruoxue, and pointed the blade at her neck.
He looked back at Su Wuchen. "If you dare to touch my young master! I'll kill Yang Ruoxue!"
Su Wuchen narrowed his eyes, then snorted coldly. "Go ahead, kill her! Although she's my employer, I have no relationship with her. I naturally won't care about her life or death!"
"You..."
The white-robed man's expression was unsightly, but he couldn't do anything about Su Wuchen.
Because he could see that Su Wuchen didn't seem to care much about Yang Ruoxue's life or death.
At this moment, Zhang Heng's gaze turned to the white-robed man, his face filled with fury. "Old... Old Jiang, this brat is just putting on an act. I am the young master of the Zhang Family. He wouldn't dare to kill me. You... you quickly take action and kill this brat! Hurry! After you capture him, I want to chop him into pieces. I want him... to suffer!"
"Yes, Young Master. I will capture him now!"
After receiving the order, the white-robed man no longer hesitated and immediately charged towards Su Wuchen.
"You really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Seeing the white-robed man charge, Su Wuchen glanced down at Zhang Heng, then lifted his right foot and stomped down hard.
Seeing this, the man in the white robe immediately stopped in his tracks!
Crack!
A crisp sound.
Zhang Heng's head was instantly crushed by Su Wuchen, dead as can be.
"Young Master!"
The man in the white robe and the others' eyes widened in shock, stunned in place.
"Boy, how dare you kill our Young Master? You're dead, you're absolutely dead this time!"
The man in the white robe was furious, his face contorted as he charged towards Su Wuchen.
In a single breath!
He had already flashed over.
He thrust his sword!
Straight for Su Wuchen's chest.
"Got him!"
Just when he thought his sword would surely pierce through Su Wuchen's body, his blade struck nothing but air.
"What!"
The white-robed man's eyes widened in shock.
He hadn't expected the target of his sword to be a phantom of Su Wuchen.
Su Wuchen's actual figure had already retreated several meters away.
Brandishing his sword, Su Wuchen slashed fiercely. A surge of sword qi erupted from the blade, hurtling towards the white-robed man opposite him.
The white-robed man's expression instantly changed. He swung his right hand with force, dispersing Su Wuchen's sword qi with a single strike.
"Sword cultivator…"
The white-robed man was taken aback.
After receiving that sword qi just now, his arm holding the sword felt a bit numb.
He hadn't expected Su Wuchen to be a sword cultivator!
And he's also such a young swordsman!
He immediately became curious. Given how young he was to have become a swordsman, what was Su Wuchen's background?
"Boy, who exactly are you?"
To have reached the fifth level of the Mortal Martial Realm at such a young age, and to also be a swordsman!
The white-robed man finally realized that Su Wuchen's identity was definitely not simple.
"None of your business!"
Su Wuchen didn't bother wasting words with the white-robed man and charged at him again, sword in hand.
He swung his sword!
A sharp sword qi immediately slashed towards the white-robed man.
The white-robed man didn't dare to be careless anymore. He sidestepped immediately, barely dodging the sword qi.
However!
By the time he reacted, Su Wuchen had already charged in front of him and swung his sword.
His expression changed drastically, but it was already too late to dodge.
Whoosh!
The arm holding his sword instantly flew off, blood gushing out, a truly terrifying sight.
"Ah..."
The white-robed man screamed miserably.
At the same time, he didn't forget to retreat rapidly, putting distance between himself and Su Wuchen.
Then, he glared at the subordinates behind him and shouted in anger, "What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and kill him!"
Hearing this, the dozen or so subordinates stood rooted to the spot, their faces filled with fear. None of them dared to move!
