However, when Su Chen arrived at Xia Qiuru's office, she wasn't there. After asking around, he learned she had left a while ago.
Su Chen thought for a mont and decided to return to the estate to continue his cultivation. After all, during these past couple of months in Miaojiang, cultivation matters had inevitably been delayed.
Of course, this referred to the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
Yet during this period, the Star Energy within him had increased quite a bit, as cultivating the Supre Star Shifting Technique didn't require the Gathering Yuan Formation!
Now, he desperately needed to elevate his own Cultivation Realm — that was the foundation!
He continued his cultivation until eight or nine in the evening, and then prepared to go back.
Because the estate was built on a lakeside high ground, it looked like a small hill. From the base to the top, there was only a narrow path surrounded by woods, which ant that cars couldn't directly drive up.
Every ti, he parked at the foot of the hill where there were a dozen parking spaces, used by the residents of nearby estates.
At this mont, he was humming an unknown tune as he walked down that path, and since it was the end of the month, there was practically no moonlight!
Additionally, the past couple of days had been overcast and rainy, so the starlight was dim; thus, the night was so dark, he could barely see his hand in front of his face!
Fortunately, Su Chen had walked this path countless tis already; he could manage even with his eyes closed!
Yet, just at this mont, sharp sounds of sothing cutting through the air suddenly ca from both sides!
His pores opened abruptly, a strong sense of danger rushed over him!
He instinctively rolled forward, narrowly avoiding the threat!
At the mont of dodging, he realized it was Hidden Weapons, probably poisoned to the core!
However, before he could stand up, two people suddenly erged from both sides of the woods, each wielding a long sword!
The four swords lunged at him simultaneously, their angles deadly like poisonous snakes!
In an instant, the swords enveloped him from all directions; escaping seed impossible!
Su Chen's eyes narrowed, an intense light flashed, as he flipped his wrist, the Light Martial Sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it swiftly to one side!
Simultaneously, he twisted his body to the extre to dodge the attack from the other side!
The formidable True Yuan shot out along with Sword Qi!
In an instant, one of the two on that side was killed, and the other was slightly injured!
Yet he didn't fully evade the attack from the other side; one left a deep cut on his body!
But he couldn't care about that right now; in that mont, his body flashed, pushing his speed to the limit, quickly distancing himself from those people!
In the darkness, the three remaining stared sharply like hawks at Su Chen!
They hadn't expected this target would be so challenging!
They had been following him from afar for days, waiting for such an opportune mont to strike, and the weather greatly aided them!
Yet sohow, even under these conditions, their sudden and successive surprise attacks were still dodged by him, even causing a death and injury on their side!
Su Chen tightly watched the remaining few, sensing they were no ordinary foes!
The lowest among them had reached the ridian Expansion Level Layer six or seven, while the highest matched his own ridian Expansion Ninth Layer!
Who were these people?
Clearly, they were Huaxia people, unlikely to be sent by the Judgnt Departnt!
Could it be Shengyi Gate?
But he felt that didn't quite add up!
Their previous moves were more akin to assassins or killers!
If not for his years of honing instinctive reactions, Su Chen would certainly have been gravely injured!
It's known that assassins or killers at the sa realm are far more dangerous than typical Martial Artists!
"I don't think I know any of you, but even if you want to kill , shouldn't you offer an explanation first?"
Su Chen said calmly.
"Indeed, we don't know each other, nor do we have any grievance,"
The leader among them said:
"We were rely tasked by soone else."
"Sun Family sent you!"
Su Chen's eyes shot a gleam of brilliance!
He said this because there was no one else but Sun Family!
If Shengyi Gate were to make a move, they absolutely wouldn't rely on other forces!
"No comnt!"
The leader replied coldly, then they all jumped at Su Chen again!
Su Chen saw them advancing and swung his sword again!
Having learned from the previous encounter, seeing Su Chen's sword swing, they all dodged to the sides!
In the midst of their evasion, Su Chen suddenly sprinted in one direction, then punched fiercely, sending a ridian Expansion Seventh Layer individual flying!
Just after the leader dodged, he saw another loss on his side, and his eyes turned crimson!
With the task uncompleted, two had already fallen!
He had never encountered such a humiliating situation!
These experts were the core strength of the organization!
If not for Sun Family's generous offer, the organization wouldn't have deployed such formidable forces!
Sun Family, being a notable Martial Arts Family, had an old master of ridian Expansion Ninth Layer strength. They hired them because assassination was their specialty!
Assassination isn't a task that strength alone guarantees success!
At this mont, the leader glanced at the remaining mber, who instantly understood his intentions!
Afterward, the leader charged at Su Chen again, while the other stayed motionless!
Seeing the leader charge, Su Chen swung the Light Martial Sword repeatedly, Sword Qi shooting forth!
But the leader, prepared, dodged and gradually approached Su Chen!
Soon, he was near Su Chen, who then stored his sword into the Cangyue Ring!
"Boom boom boom!"
The two engaged in a lee, echoes of intense sound resounded frequently!
Then, the remaining person darted from the side towards them!
Su Chen imdiately understood their plan: to use the leader to entangle him, while the other strikes from stealth!
"Quite an astute plan!"
Su Chen sneered inwardly.
Honestly, their initial surprise attack was the only thing that made Su Chen feel endangered and flustered!
After gaining so distance, he was utterly unconcerned!
Just as they were about to reach him, he suddenly infused a strand of Star Energy into his Fist Mang, then struck fiercely at the leader!
The leader instantly sensed a far more terrifying energy than before, and hastily raised his arm to defend!
"Boom!"
Su Chen's punch shattered his arm, then continued its unstoppable path, hitting his body...
