782: Chapter 780: Collapse of Confidence 782: Chapter 780: Collapse of Confidence Chen Yang held the ginseng king in his hand, carefully examining it.
But he didn’t find anything unusual.
Except for the root structure resembling arms and legs, it was no different from an ordinary wild ginseng.
If Chen Yang hadn’t personally seen this thing running around, he probably wouldn’t have believed it had a mysterious side.
“The Ginseng King—old folks always speak of it like so miraculous treasure, even claiming it can prolong life.
Should I give it a taste?” A thought suddenly popped into Chen Yang’s mind.
Curious to try, after all, this kind of thing is a rare encounter.
As long as it’s beneficial to the body, why not?
Once the idea erged, Chen Yang imdiately set it into motion and reached out, ready to pick off a piece.
But just as he was about to pluck a root to taste it, a commotion suddenly ca from outside the wooden hut.
Soone was approaching.
Hearing this, Chen Yang instinctively thought that Wang Hong might have forgotten sothing and returned.
So, he quickly put away the Ginseng King and stepped out of the wooden hut.
Only to find once outside that it wasn’t Wang Hong who had co back—it was those Gu Family people he had seen in the village last ti!
They had arrived in the area!
Chen Yang was quite surprised to see them.
Similarly, the Gu Family people were equally shocked to see Chen Yang.
However, just like last ti, they only gave Chen Yang a strange look, didn’t seem to want to cause trouble, and simply turned around as if to leave.
From the looks of it, these people were just passing by.
Seeing they weren’t looking for trouble, Chen Yang decided to avoid any unnecessary conflict and minded his own business.
He turned to head back into the wooden hut to continue studying his Ginseng King.
Woof!
Woof!
Woof!
But just then, a sudden bark broke out from behind him.
Hearing the sound, Chen Yang instinctively turned back to see that one of the Gu Family people was holding onto a large wolfhound.
At this mont, the dog was baring its teeth, furiously barking and growling at him.
The animal looked rabid, desperate to lunge at Chen Yang, so much so that its handler was struggling to hold onto it.
Seeing the hostility from the dog, Chen Yang frowned slightly.
But he wasn’t one to stoop to the level of a dog, so he remained silent, standing in place and waiting for these people to take the dog away before he returned to the cabin.
However, the seven or eight Gu Family mbers, watching this wolfhound madly barking at Chen Yang, exchanged incredulous glances with each other.
After a mont of silent communication, they collectively turned their gazes toward Chen Yang.
Being stared at like this left Chen Yang confused.
“You people don’t control your dog and instead keep staring at ?
What, looking for trouble?” Chen Yang asked impatiently, breaking the silence.
After exchanging another round of glances, one of the n—a middle-aged, burly individual—stepped forward.
But instead of answering Chen Yang’s question, he crouched down, patted the frenzied wolfhound, and muttered sothing under his breath.
Under his touch, the wolfhound seed to calm down a little, but it kept snarling and barking at Chen Yang.
Woof!
Woof!
Woof!
The relentless barking was starting to grate on Chen Yang’s nerves.
He furrowed his brows, itching to kick the foolish dog to make it shut up.
But wanting to avoid unnecessary conflict, he refrained from acting.
“Haha, well, well, searching high and low just to find it without any effort.
I’ve been looking for two or three days, who would’ve thought it’s been here with you all along?
If I’d known, all that effort would’ve been unnecessary,” the burly man said, standing up with a mocking grin.
Chen Yang didn’t understand what he ant and didn’t bother to ask, simply staring silently at the group with sharp eyes.
“Your na is Chen Yang, isn’t it?” the burly man asked, his smile tinged with mockery.
Chen Yang responded with a grin, “Yeah, that’s .
What about it?
Got a problem?”
Seeing Chen Yang admit it, the burly man’s mouth curled upward in disdain.
“I originally thought of dealing with my business first before coming to settle things with you.
But who could’ve known you’d just co walking right into trouble?”
Chen Yang still didn’t quite understand their sudden hostility but couldn’t care less.
If trouble ca, he’d deal with it.
“Heh, what’s all this talk about walking into trouble?
If you wanna fight, then don’t stand around; let’s get it over with.
If not, hurry up and take your dog away.
Don’t ruin my mood,” Chen Yang replied with a smirk, his tone just as disdainful.
He didn’t see these seven or eight people as much of a threat.
He was confident he could handle them all.
The burly man’s smirk froze, his expression darkening rapidly at the provocation.
“You’re courting death.
I was prepared to give you a chance—hand over the precious ginseng and cripple your arms yourself, and I would’ve spared your life.
But now, that chance is gone,” the man said coldly.
And without giving Chen Yang ti to speak, he waved a hand, signaling his subordinates to attack.
His seven or eight subordinates were all supernatural ability users.
As elite operatives, their execution was flawless.
In less than a second, they all rushed at Chen Yang together.
Facing the overwhelming assault of seven or eight supernatural enemies, Chen Yang didn’t dare to act carelessly.
He imdiately clenched his fists and charged head-on to et them.
“Hahaha, such arrogance!
Do you think we’re just common assassins?
How naive!” The burly man, standing at a distance, laughed wildly at the sight of Chen Yang fighting back.
He was suprely confident.
Although he knew there was sothing extraordinary about Chen Yang, in his eyes, Chen Yang was still just a rural farr.
There was no way he could contend with their group.
After all, they had seven or eight people!
No matter how strong Chen Yang was, he couldn’t possibly match them.
But what happened next shattered that confidence in an instant.
To his utter disbelief.
Chen Yang disappeared from their sight the mont he charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, he reappeared behind them, his fists already swinging toward their heads, necks, and waists.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Nearly instantaneously—in just the ti it takes to blink.
All seven or eight n were down, heavily injured and unable to stand.
The burly man’s maniacal laughter froze on his face, his eyes wide like lanterns as he stood in stunned disbelief.
“Heh, so you’re saying you’re not ordinary assassins, but you thought I was just an ordinary target?
Pathetic!” Chen Yang turned his head and sneered at the man after finishing off his subordinates.
The burly man felt that sneer like a slap in the face, his cheeks burning with humiliation.
Just monts earlier, he had been boldly bragging.
Who could’ve imagined that, in the next instant, all his n would be defeated?
And these weren’t just any n—they were supernatural ability users!
While their combat strength wasn’t exceptional, they were far from ordinary humans, let alone entirely overwheld in such a decisive and effortless manner.
This man nad Chen Yang…
Just how powerful was he?
