Chapter 1975: Chapter 1975: He Is My Brother!
Everyone was stunned and looked up!
They saw a disheveled man wielding a long sword and charging towards another man!
"Die!"
A hoarse voice emerged from the man with the sword!
His face was contorted, and his aura exploded, moving at incredible speed!
It was clear that this slash carried two hundred percent of his strength, as if he had poured his life into it!
Closer!
Even closer!
The man under the sword was completely bewildered, never anticipating someone would suddenly stab him, instinctively freezing for a moment!
But just as the sword was inches away from him, he finally regained his senses!
"Courting death!"
His face showed a trace of anger; how dare this mere Fifth Turn Tongxuan youth attempt to assassinate him!
He suddenly flicked his sleeve, unleashing a powerful burst of True Yuan!
Even though the man with the sword wished to burn himself up with this strike, the gap was simply too vast; he was immediately blasted away!
"Pffft!"
A mist of blood sprayed out as he flew through the air!
He was thrown a full hundred meters before he heavily crashed to the ground!
"Pffft, pffft!"
Unable to hold back, he spat out two large mouthfuls of fresh blood, staining the ground and his clothing, shocking to behold!
Yet, the man who made the initial move didn’t stop, moving swiftly in pursuit!
At the same time, he unleashed a palm strike, shaking the entire void, instantly extinguishing the chaotic currents!
"I’m sorry, in the end, I couldn’t avenge you all!"
The man saw the palm strike coming, knowing he couldn’t dodge it, closed his eyes, and tears streamed down!
He didn’t fear death; he was just regretful he couldn’t slay this beast before him!
However, several breaths passed, and the palm strike never landed on him, prompting him to open his eyes in confusion!
He saw a figure standing boldly in front of him, the silhouette vaguely familiar!
"Who are you? What’s your relationship with this kid?!"
The man who intended to strike the fatal blow saw a figure flit between them and paused!
"He is my brother!"
The new arrival said calmly.
With those four words, it felt as though the weight of a thousand catties pressed down!
"Su... Su Chen?!"
The man awaiting death was thunderstruck upon hearing the voice!
At that moment, the man in front turned his head, a familiar smile on his face!
Who else could it be but Su Chen?!
"Su Chen, is it really you?!"
The man couldn’t believe his eyes, struggling to stand!
"Don’t move yet!"
Su Chen urged, promptly retrieving a healing pill and helping him ingest it!
Su Chen’s heart surged with excitement!
This disheveled man turned out to be Ouyang Jing; how could he not be excited?!
"Ouyang, what exactly is going on?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
He was puzzled why Ouyang was so desperate to kill that man!
Though Ouyang was just at the Fifth Turn Tongxuan Realm, which Su Chen hadn’t expected, the gap to the man’s Minor Supreme Realm Seventh Turn was enormous!
Essentially, Ouyang Jing’s assassination attempt was akin to a death wish!
Ouyang Jing wasn’t usually so reckless unless he had an unyielding reason!
The man whom Ouyang Jing tried to assassinate refrained from further action, curious why this stranger, resembling a beggar, acted so insanely!
After consuming the elixir, Ouyang Jing felt better, stood up, and explained to Su Chen!
It turned out Ouyang Jing was taken in by an ordinary middle-aged couple soon after scattering across the Yunxiao Continent!
He had no news of others, nor anywhere else to go, so he stayed temporarily!
The couple had a daughter, not yet twenty, looking quite delicate!
The family treated him kindly, and the daughter even considered him a brother!
In their home, Ouyang Jing felt immense goodwill; over time, they became like family!
Yet, Ouyang Jing still wanted to find other members of the mountain villa and regularly visited the nearby town to inquire about news!
One time returning, he shockingly found the couple lying in a pool of blood in the living room!
Terrified, he rushed into the daughter’s room!
He saw the daughter covered in wounds, her clothes torn beyond repair, practically naked!
What she suffered was evident!
In the end, unable to bear the humiliation, the girl took her own life while Ouyang Jing was tending to the couple’s bodies!
Upon hearing this, Su Chen finally understood why Ouyang Jing sought to kill that man even knowing it meant death!
Even Su Chen merely hearing the account felt his Blood Qi surging!
Let alone Ouyang Jing, who was deeply attached to the family!
Still, he had a lingering question:
"Ouyang, how do you know it was him?"
"When I returned, I encountered two departing people, one like a young master, the other a servant; few visit there, if not them, who?! And he was the servant!"
Ouyang Jing’s eyes glowed with bloodlust as he spoke:
"Moreover, under my inquiry, the girl mentioned they claimed to be from the Duanhai Sect!"
"Duanhai Sect?!"
The crowd hearing this was shocked!
Among the many powers within the Ancient Dynasty, Duanhai Sect was significant!
No denying, Duanhai Sect acted despicably, murdering parents and abusing their daughter!
Nevertheless, the crowd wouldn’t condemn them!
Who would stand up for unrelated people and risk offending the Duanhai Sect?!
Su Chen nodded at Ouyang Jing’s words!
"So, you were avenging that family!"
At this moment, the man chuckled, finally understanding the situation!
"Ouyang, let me handle this!"
Su Chen patted Ouyang’s shoulder!
"Su Chen, this is personal; I don’t want to drag you into it!"
Ouyang Jing said seriously.
From his investigation, he knew Duanhai Sect’s terrifying power!
Forget Duanhai Sect; even the man before them was beyond Su Chen’s reach!
"Ouyang, we’re brothers; your problem is mine!"
Su Chen declared solemnly.
As Ouyang prepared to speak, Su Chen gazed into his eyes:
"Trust me!"
The two exchanged glances for several breaths before Ouyang finally nodded!
This was a man’s understanding; he knew Su Chen had made his decision!
