Chapter 18
“Whew!”
The four people in front of him seemed to have a tacit understanding with Xiao Chen. They leaped up almost at the same time and fanned out towards Xiao Chen. The silver swords in their hands danced wildly in the air, turning into cold beams that stabbed towards him.
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen’s pupils constricted as the corner of his mouth twitched. It was obvious that the four of them were using desolate skills.
The silver swords that the four of them thrust out had turned into seven or eight shadows. It was impossible to tell which one was the real one. At a glance, all one could see was a white beam that could not be blocked.
The four of them had a tacit understanding with each other. It was obvious that they wanted to make him stay on Mt. Dadong in one move.
Grandma Liu was aghast as she let out a shrill cry, “Child, be careful. This is the Yue family’s fifth-grade desolate skill, Shadowless Sword …”
“Bang!”
Before she could finish her sentence, the leader of the black-clothed men knocked her on the back of her neck with the sword hilt. She fainted.
The leader of the black-clothed men revealed a sinister smile. He thought to himself, “The Young Patriarch seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill. He alone is enough to deal with a mere White Tiger second stage warrior. Why did he need to send the family’s four gold-medal assassins?”
“Is a fifth-grade desolate skill very powerful?
Desolate skill?
I have one too! ”
Xiao Chen sneered and continued to dash forward. However, his longsword made a very strange movement in the air. The longsword, which was originally slashing forward, suddenly began to vibrate without any pattern. It was as if it was slashing a wave-like arc in the air, but its speed was even faster than before.
This sword stance was very awkward and strange. After all, the longsword would only have power if it was slashed down directly. How much force would it have when it struck a person’s body with such a vibrating arc?
“Chirp!”
The answer was quickly revealed. An extremely ear-piercing sound was emitted from the wooden sword. This sound was like metal rubbing against each other. It made people feel extremely uncomfortable and their ears were ringing. It was so uncomfortable that they nearly vomited blood.
“Oh?”
Although the leader of the black-clothed men was far away, he also felt like he was going crazy. His mind was filled with irritation as he suddenly felt something was wrong. He forcefully circulated the Desolate Power to calm himself down and let out a roar, “Be careful, this is a divine sound type desolate skill.”
Bang!
But it was too late. In that instant, the four of them felt their eardrums explode. Their minds were in chaos, and they had no idea where they were. The wooden sword carried the aura of the Grim Reaper, and it slid across their heads.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
His head exploded and blood splattered in all directions. How could a wooden sword that weighed 150 kilograms and the strength of a second stage White Tiger be able to withstand such a powerful force?
The wooden sword swept past, and three heads exploded one after another. The last person came to his senses, but he was still hit in the shoulder. Half of his body was badly mutilated, and he vomited blood in midair and fainted.
He killed three White Tiger Stage Three powerhouses in a single move and heavily injured one.
The leader of the black-robed men’s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. Then, he thought of that terrifying shriek just now, and felt that this was how it should have ended.
Sound-type Desolate Skill!
It was the rarest and most terrifying Desolate Skill in the Wilderness God Continent.
This type of Desolate Skill produced a terrifying sound. It was very effective in battle and could easily kill the enemy. Typically, the lowest grade of Divine Sound type Desolate Skills were grade five. There was even a high grade Desolate Skill that could reach grade eight!
“How could he have such a rare Divine Sound type Desolate Skill?
It’s not even enough to kill someone, right? ”
The leader of the black-robed men muttered in a daze. Just now, he thought that Yue Fusheng had overestimated Xiao Chen, but now it seemed that he had underestimated Xiao Chen …
“Swish!”
Xiao Chen’s body landed on the ground, splashing mud all over the ground. He did not stop and charged forward at lightning speed. He stared at the leader of the black-robed men fiercely, like a hungry wolf.
The black-robed man felt like he had fallen into an ice cave when he was stared at by Xiao Chen. He originally wanted to fight to the death with Xiao Chen, but now he had no intention of fighting at all.
Thinking back to that terrifying Divine Sound type Desolate Skill, his eyes revealed a ruthless look. He brandished the longsword in his hand and stabbed at Grandma Liu’s heart.
“Wu!”
At this moment, he suddenly heard a whimpering sound. A terrifying aura enveloped his entire body. He suddenly had a feeling that if he dared to stab with his sword, he would immediately die a horrible death.
Years of battle instinct made him pull back his longsword.
He suddenly turned his head and saw a yellow dog suddenly appear a few meters behind him, looking at him coldly.
The yellow dog did not move at all. Its fur was drenched in the rain and looked very ugly, like a stray dog in dire straits.
“Ah?”
The leader of the black-robed men was scared out of his wits. Wasn’t this yellow dog motionless just now?
How could it appear behind him?
Furthermore, he had not noticed it at all!
Run!
He no longer had any intention to fight. His body flashed and shot to the right. Mount Dadong was surrounded by cliffs on three sides. The only way down the mountain was on Xiao Chen’s side. He could only take the risk and jump off the cliff.
There was a river below the cliff. He might not die if he jumped.
If he didn’t jump, he would definitely die!
Xiao Chen did not chase after him. He quickly sprinted to Grandmother Liu’s side. With a sweep of his wooden sword, he cut the rope that held Grandmother Liu. Holding her with one arm, he looked at the yellow dog in front of him and said in a low voice, “Da Huang, thank you!”
There was no expression in the yellow dog’s eyes. It silently and slowly walked toward them.
Xiao Chen looked at Grandmother Liu, who was covered in blood. His face twisted again. In a trembling voice, he said, “Grandmother, I’m sorry. I’ve dragged you down. You must hold on. I’ll take you back to the Su family to heal.”
Xiao Chen tore off his long robe and helped Grandmother Liu bandage her wounds. Grandmother Liu’s wounds were touched and she faintly woke up. Seeing that it was Xiao Chen’s face, her face was full of surprise. Her muddy eyes swept around and saw three bodies. There was another person who was seriously injured and unconscious. The leader of the black-robed men was nowhere to be seen. She opened her mouth with difficulty and asked in surprise, “Child, this, this …”
“Grandmother, don’t talk. I’ll take you back to the Su family to heal first!”
Xiao Chen didn’t even raise his head. After temporarily helping Grandmother Liu stop the bleeding, he carried her on his back and was about to run down the mountain. Grandmother Liu smiled bitterly and took a deep breath. Moving her lips, she said, “I can’t save her. Grandmother is old and has lost too much blood this time. I’ll probably die before I get back to the Su family …”
Xiao Chen’s body trembled but he didn’t say anything. His steps quickened and he ran down the mountain with the yellow dog.
Swish!
Xiao Chen’s speed was too fast. At this time, there was no lightning. The scouts at the foot of the mountain only saw a black shadow. Xiao Chen flashed past, leaving only the faint smell of blood in the rain.
Dong Mountain was only 10 li from Blood Sun City. Xiao Chen ran at full speed in just 15 minutes.
The time was short, but the closer he got to Blood Sun City, Xiao Chen felt Grandmother Liu’s aura grow weaker behind him.
He closed his eyes powerlessly. The veins on his face bulged, and all the muscles on his face were twisted. He knew that Grandmother Liu couldn’t be saved. Even if he returned to the Su family, he would only be able to bring back a corpse.
In the distance, Blood Sun City was faintly discernible in the rainy night. Xiao Chen’s body suddenly turned and rushed toward the south city gate. He gritted his teeth and turned his head to Grandmother Liu and roared, “Grandmother, hold on a little longer. I will let you see Yue Fusheng die with you!”
“Child, are you crazy?
No, don’t … ”
Grandmother Liu’s voice became incomparably weak. She continuously shook her head and muttered, but Xiao Chen rushed toward the south city gate without looking back.
The Su family was in the north of the city, and the Yue family was in the south!
At this moment, there was only one thought in Xiao Chen’s mind. Since Grandmother Liu couldn’t be saved, then he would let her see with her own eyes that the murderer who killed her grandson and murdered her was killed. Perhaps she would have less regrets when she closed her eyes and left?
