Chapter 247
“Gu …”
Xiao Chen, who was roaring happily, suddenly heard a strange noise coming from his stomach. Immediately, an extreme sense of hunger spread from his stomach to his brain.
“I am starving!
I wonder how much time I have spent on this cultivation. Is there any more dried meat?
Eh … no. Seems like I can only go out and hunt a wild beast and roast it … Haha … ”
Xiao Chen rummaged through the animal skin food bag, and found that it was empty. His ecstatic face suddenly turned bitter. But then he remembered that he had broken through to the Blood Bear stage, and gained the magical ability to train on his own, and he couldn’t help but grin again.
With such a great harvest, even if he had to starve for a few more days, he would still smile happily.
“Clang!”
Xiao Chen bent down and picked up the wooden sword on the ground. He casually put it into the sheath on his back and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
“En?”
However, after a few steps, he suddenly stopped. His eyes suddenly became cold and fierce. The corner of his mouth revealed a cruel smile. He sneered in his heart, “There is an ambush outside?
You want to ambush and assassinate me? I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it back alive. What do you think about using you guys to test my Blood Bear Realm strength?
Hehe! ”
That’s right!
There were indeed martial artists lying in ambush outside the cave. Not just one, but four. Three of them were middle-aged men at the second level of the Blood Bear Realm and one was at the third level of the Blood Bear Realm in his fifties.
These four warriors happened to be in the vicinity of the cave where Xiao Chen was searching for the treasure. They happened to hear Xiao Chen’s wild laughter, and misunderstood that someone was so happy because he had found a peerless treasure in the cave. The four of them harbored malicious intentions, and so they laid in ambush outside the cave, waiting for the person inside to come out. Then, they would ambush him, and they would easily kill him and steal his treasure.
But …
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel. The person they wanted to ambush was not an ordinary martial artist, but an ace assassin Xiao Chen with super strong senses. Moreover, Xiao Chen had just broken through to the Blood Bear Realm and had a great increase in strength. These four Blood Bear Realm martial artists actually wanted to ambush Xiao Chen? That was simply … courting death!
“Da!
Da!
Da! ”
Xiao Chen pretended not to notice the existence of the four warriors as he casually walked out of the cave and went outside. At this time, the sky outside was a bit dark and it was obvious that night was about to fall.
With a casual sweep of his gaze, Xiao Chen discovered where the four warriors were hiding. Following that, he casually walked forward. The Power of Desolates was automatically circulating, so he did not need to specially circulate the Power of Desolates. He could fight at any time.
The four martial artists were obviously not assassins. Otherwise, they would not have been easily discovered by Xiao Chen.
“Swish swish swish swish!”
When Xiao Chen was thirty feet away from the four people, four crossbow bolts were shot out from the place where the four people were lying in ambush, shooting towards Xiao Chen like lightning. The fine iron arrowheads of the crossbow bolts were gleaming with a faint green light; apparently, they were dipped in a deadly poison.
“You all deserve to die!
Hmph! ”
Seeing that the four Blood Bear Realm warriors had used such a despicable method, Xiao Chen’s eyes instantly became extremely cold. A strong killing intent filled his heart. He did not choose to dodge, instead, he quickly pulled out his huge wooden sword and used it as a shield in front of him. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, dashing towards the hiding place of the four warriors who had yet to reveal themselves.
“Ding Ding Ding Ding!”
Although the four crossbow bolts were extremely fast, Xiao Chen was prepared, so he easily blocked them with the wooden sword. Immediately, there were four crisp sounds of metal clashing.
The battle erupted!
“Swish!”
The running Xiao Chen constantly increased his speed. He left behind an afterimage. This was due to his speed reaching a certain level. Xiao Chen’s speed was clearly much faster than ordinary Blood Bear Realm warriors. This was the result of the difference in talent and strength.
“Boom!”
The distance of thirty feet was covered in a blink of an eye. Without a word, Xiao Chen brandished the wooden sword that was filled with the Power of Desolates and slammed it down on a huge boulder that was half the height of a person. With a deafening sound, the huge boulder exploded. Immediately, gravel flew in all directions and dust filled the air.
“Ah Ah!”
At the same time when the gigantic boulder exploded, two male voices could be heard from behind the gigantic boulder. Immediately after, two silhouettes were forced to retreat. Their bodies were in an extremely sorry state, it was obvious that they had been hit by the flying debris. Although they weren’t injured, it wasn’t a good feeling.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen smashed the boulder with his sword, causing the two warriors to retreat. He took the opportunity to pursue them. His speed was as fast as lightning and his killing intent surged.
“Swish!
Swish! “The other two warriors hiding in the pit realized that their sneak attack had failed and that their target had discovered them. They no longer hid and jumped out of the pit. Brandishing the weapons in their hands, they rushed to support the two retreating warriors.
“Kid!
Don’t be arrogant!
Let this old man fight you! ”
One of the two retreating warriors was the old man at the third level of the Blood Bear Realm. He had been momentarily shocked by Xiao Chen. Now that he reacted, he felt embarrassed. This was because he realized that Xiao Chen’s cultivation level was lower than his, so he no longer retreated. Instead, he charged at Xiao Chen. With a roar, he waved his saber. A three-foot-long saber beam spat out wildly as it slashed at Xiao Chen’s head in a majestic manner.
“Kill this kid!
The peerless treasure will be ours! ”
The other three Blood Bear Realm warriors saw the old man’s actions and shouted excitedly. They attacked Xiao Chen from three different directions. Basically, they formed a four-sided attack formation with the old man. They wanted to wrap Xiao Chen up like a dumpling.
“Whew!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes and ears looked in all directions. Naturally, he knew that he was facing a disadvantageous situation. However, he did not panic at all. His feet suddenly sped up, and his body twisted and swayed strangely. He barely dodged a long sword and a machete from his back and left, and then dashed to the side.
“Break for me!”
With a roar from Xiao Chen, the wooden sword, which was ready to strike, carried the power of thunder. It swept wildly at the long saber and the long sword that were slashing at him.
“Clang clang!”
“Boom boom!”
Unsurprisingly, the wooden sword and the long saber and the long sword collided heavily. The Desolate Light immediately exploded like a blooming firework. It was beautiful and dazzling, but also deadly beautiful.
The huge energy storm blew up the clothes and hair of the three warriors. The light was dazzling, and the three of them could not help but squint their eyes.
Xiao Chen was indeed very powerful. He was fighting against two opponents at the same time, but he didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage. They were evenly matched. The three of them were knocked away at the same time, and Xiao Chen’s body just happened to retreat in the direction of the two warriors behind him.
“Die!
Brat!
Hehe! ”
The two warriors were overjoyed when they saw that Xiao Chen’s back was crashing towards them. They waved their weapons again, and fiercely met Xiao Chen’s back, wanting to stab through Xiao Chen’s back. However, would Xiao Chen let them succeed so easily?
The answer was no!
“Ha!”
Xiao Chen felt the killing intent behind him, but he did not panic. He shouted coldly, and his feet sank. His footsteps staggered, and he used the inertia to turn around. Without even looking, he swung the wooden sword in a half circle, and swept it behind him!
Incomparably domineering!
The reason why Xiao Chen was so confident in his counterattack was not only because of his strong perception, but also because he had an absolute advantage in weapons. The wooden sword was incomparably heavy, and its length was more than a foot longer than the longest ordinary weapon.
Such a weapon was incomparably domineering, and its lethality was extremely strong. If the two warriors behind him dared to hurt Xiao Chen, they would definitely be hit by the wooden sword. Naturally, they would not risk their lives, so Xiao Chen would definitely be fine.
As expected!
The two warriors behind Xiao Chen saw the astonishing power of the wooden sword whistling towards them. They decisively gave up on trying to assassinate Xiao Chen, and used their weapons to block the wooden sword. Otherwise, they would be at a disadvantage.
But wouldn’t they be at a disadvantage if they blocked it?
The answer would be revealed soon.
