"I can't tell you that!"
Su Chen deliberately said with a vigilant expression.
"Sorry, that was rude of , I won't ask anymore!"
Liao Zhi quickly pretended to be amiable.
At this point, Su Chen finally understood the true intentions of these people. Of course, he never really believed they were so kind from the start!
Either they coveted sothing on them, or they lusted after Yao Zhiqing's beauty, or both!
Whatever it was, Su Chen would make them regret their sches!
Especially if they were after Yao Zhiqing's beauty, then they were utterly miscalculating!
Of course, at first, he couldn't be sure; what if they were genuinely kind-hearted?
After all, it wasn't impossible!
If they truly harbored ill intentions, exposing them quickly and then resolving this trouble would also be a good thing!
This was another primary reason why Su Chen agreed to travel together.
But with just a slight probe, the other party's true intentions were already laid bare!
At least, it was clear for now—these people wanted sothing from them, which suited the behavior of these desperados, and Su Chen found it unsurprising!
Both groups pretended as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward...
During that ti, Su Chen inconspicuously asked about matters related to the Demon Mountain Ridge, especially the places where those precious herbs were located!
...
A few hours passed, and they had already entered the Demon Mountain Ridge. As soon as they entered, it felt as if they had entered another world!
This place was entirely different from the Dark Forest outside, giving an even more eerie feeling!
Unknowingly, they had traveled quite so distance inside the Demon Mountain Ridge. Though demon beasts ran rampant here, they weren't seen everywhere!
During this ti, they encountered a total of three demon beasts, two of Earth's Ultimate Realm, and one equivalent to Minor Perfection of the Condensation Pill Realm, equivalent to the eighth rank of demon beasts outside, all easily dealt with by Liao Zhi's subordinates!
Whenever Su Chen encountered these demon beasts, he pretended to be frightened and stepped back, not revealing his own strength!
Liao Zhi and his n did not find this behavior strange, given that this kid was only at the Condensation Pill Realm Middle Stage!
Even possessing a treasure, encountering these powerful demon beasts would naturally invoke fear!
As they went further, Liao Zhi and another person walked ahead, with Su Chen and Yao Zhiqing walking in the middle, and three others behind them!
It seed as if, out of goodwill, they were "protecting" Su Chen and Yao Zhiqing in the middle.
Suddenly, Liao Zhi and the other person in front exchanged a look, and then stopped.
Simultaneously, the three people behind them also stopped!
"Why aren't we moving?"
Su Chen "curiously" asked.
"A bit tired, let's take a break."
Liao Zhi said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, in that case, let's take a break."
Su Chen nodded.
"Brother Su, we brought you here and walked all this way. Is there anything you want to say?"
Liao Zhi continued.
"Thank you all, next ti you co to my place, I will definitely have my family treat you well!"
Su Chen said "gratefully."
"No need for hospitality; you just need to let appreciate the treasure on you."
Liao Zhi said casually while looking at Su Chen with a smile.
"That won't do!"
Su Chen quickly shook his head in response.
"Just a glance."
Liao Zhi continued to smile:
"Also, your female companion is so beautiful; why not let her express her gratitude to us brothers too?"
"Despicable!"
Upon hearing Liao Zhi's words, Yao Zhiqing spat with an angry face.
The n, hearing Yao Zhiqing's words, didn't mind. Instead, they burst into laughter, their eyes toward Yao Zhiqing filled with heat!
Their primary goal was to rob these two young people of their belongings; such a beautiful woman would naturally not be let go!
To them, seeing such a beautiful woman was rare!
"You finally couldn't hold it anymore! It must have been hard to pretend until now to reveal your true purpose!"
At this mont, Su Chen said calmly.
When he heard Liao Zhi's last remark, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes!
This is like the proverb: heaven's sins are pardonable, human's own sins are not!
"What do you an?"
Liao Zhi asked, slightly frowning as he looked at the young man in front of him, seemingly having changed in so way!
But he couldn't pinpoint what was different!
"You should understand what I an!"
Su Chen glanced at Liao Zhi, speaking mildly.
"So you've seen through it all along!"
At this point, how could Liao Zhi not understand, realizing that the other party had seen through him!
However, he was not afraid, as the disparity in strength was apparent!
"In that case, I'd advise you to comply with our demands!"
Liao Zhi snorted coldly:
"Doing so will allow you to keep your life!"
Though he said so, he didn't genuinely intend to let them go, at least this man had to be dealt with imdiately!
What if these two were affiliated with so powerful faction? It would be asking for trouble!
"What if I refuse?"
Su Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Then don't bla us for being rude!"
One of the n beside Liao Zhi said coldly.
"Alright!"
Su Chen said disdainfully:
"Then let's see how rude you can be!"
"Tsk! Didn't see it coming; you actually have so backbone!"
Liao Zhi snorted, then said to soone beside him:
"You, go show them so color!"
"Yes, Boss!"
The person imdiately responded, taking a step forward, radiating pressure equivalent to Minor Perfection of Earth's Ultimate Realm!
"Boy, prepare to die!"
The man didn't waste any ti, letting out a shout and directly punching, Fist Mang wrapped in vigorous True Essence Energy!
He didn't take Su Chen seriously, assuming that as a re Condensation Pill Realm Middle Stage, he was no match!
As he saw it, his punch was enough to solve the problem!
Su Chen sneered, also directly punching straight out, almost identical to the opponent!
"Tsk! This kid is overestimating himself!"
"Yeah, a Condensation Pill Realm Middle Stage daring to clash head-on with a Minor Perfection of Earth's Ultimate Realm, simply courting death!"
"This kid is clueless, totally unaware of the danger! He's about to realize his mistake!"
...
Seeing Su Chen's actions, Liao Zhi's subordinates sneered and whispered to each other!
Liao Zhi had a similar thought, as the gap in strength was too vast, like a chasm!
Yet, as the fists collided, a streak of panic suddenly flashed across the man's face!
He sensed that an incredibly terrifying energy clung to his opponent's fist!
But for him, realizing this now was already too late...
"Bang boom!"
Instantly, as the fists collided, a thunderous explosion sound buried the sound of cracking bones!
Almost simultaneously, a body was sent flying back swiftly...
