The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1706

The night was very dark.

The sound of wind rustling could be heard, and Chu Ge’s ears twitched. He sensed that there were traps all around him; not only was someone trailing him, but there were also people hidden in the bushes on both sides.

Chu Ge knew that he couldn’t avoid a confrontation, so he slowed his pace and stopped just three meters away from the intersection ahead.

"Come out, hiding like this, what kind of man are you?"

Chu Ge said lightly.

As his words fell, several black-clothed men suddenly emerged around him, all masked, with faces obscured.

Tonight, the sky was without stars or moon, the night oppressive, as if predicting an incoming storm.

Chu Ge scanned them coldly, curling his lips disdainfully, "You didn’t show your true skills during the day, now with no one around, it’s time to do so, isn’t it?"

"Chu Ge! This time next year will be your death anniversary!"

A voice, low and husky, shouted from somewhere.

Chu Ge clicked his tongue, "Such a cliché opening. All the martial arts shows on TV have been acting like this recently. Can’t you come up with some fresh lines?"

"Stop with the nonsense!"

"Prepare to die!"

It was already past eleven at night. Although the neighborhood was asleep, there were still people who might pass by. If they were seen fighting and it alarmed others, it wouldn’t be good.

They had to finish quickly.

These people had avoided the neighborhood’s surveillance, successfully setting up an ambush without being noticed. Chu Ge knew these were trained individuals.

Specially trained assassins? Ha, Chu Ge put down the things in his hands; they were getting in the way.

"This time, show your true skills. If you rely on brute force like during the day, who knows whose death anniversary it will be this time next year."

Chu Ge said coldly.

They had already rushed to his side, and with them came the True Qi from their bodies.

The True Qi, like a sharp sword, slashed straight towards Chu Ge.

Chu Ge swiftly sidestepped, avoiding it, but there were many of them, and as soon as he dodged one sword, another swung at him.

He shook his body, dispersing all the Sword Qi around him.

If this continued, it would surely alarm the neighborhood’s residents. They could evade the neighborhood’s security system and surveillance because they had their methods.

Chu Ge’s mind whirled quickly, "You act so swiftly, it seems you truly are desperate for my life!"

"Enough with the rubbish!"

"We’ve heard that Chu Ge comes from the Ye Hou Country as the War God. We want to see what skills this so-called War God really has."

Chu Ge’s cold eyes swept around, and a white sword formed in his palm, "You have the skill to avoid security, naturally also the ability to set a Barrier. If you don’t want trouble, best set the Barrier!"

That way, he could wreak havoc freely within the Barrier!

"Chu Ge, you’re quite clever! But your cleverness is a bit late. We set the Barrier as soon as we surrounded you." One of them spoke.

Chu Ge was taken aback. He checked the surroundings and realized that what the man said was true. The Barrier was set without him being aware of it, and he didn’t notice a thing.

"It seems the War God is just a title made up?"

Someone sneered, trying to provoke Chu Ge, but Chu Ge appeared unbothered, composed on the surface.

"If that’s the case, let’s not hold back anymore, true skills will speak the truth!"

After saying this, Chu Ge swung the sword in his hand, sending out True Qi waves in the air.

The fight within the Barrier was fierce. As Chu Ge battled these people, he suddenly noticed something odd.

Their True Qi felt strangely similar to his own.

Every Sect has its own Cultivation Method, and his method was given by a mysterious person who never explained which Sect it was from.

Could they belong to the same Sect?

Thinking about this, Chu Ge defeated one black-clothed man, scanned with sharp eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"

"The ones who will take your life!"

Chu Ge chuckled coldly, "That depends on whether you’re capable!"

Because of their fight, the surrounding trees were already damaged beyond recognition by the Sword Qi.

"All Swords Return to One!"

Chu Ge roared, and the sword in his hand transformed into several sharp swords, then gathered into a white light above his head. He quickly bent down and slammed his palm onto the ground.

The ground rumbled, spreading from the center outward. Simultaneously, the waves of Sword Qi stirred by the ground’s vibration knocked all the black-clothed men around him to the ground, some clutching their chests and spitting out blood.

The barrier they set was also shattered.

Apart from the sounds of fighting, it was eerily silent. But now, Chu Ge heard the distant sound of car horns and noisy chatter.

Chu Ge curled his lips with disdain, "Go back and tell your mastermind, if they want my life, they should come themselves! Otherwise, next time I won’t be so accommodating."

The black-clothed men on the ground supported each other as they got up, glaring at Chu Ge, "Retreat!"

They fled quickly, disappearing almost instantly.

Chu Ge glanced around, the Barrier was gone, the ground intact, even the trees beside him untouched, as if nothing had happened.

He walked to the bag, bent down, and picked it up. The bag was damp with dew.

He looked at the time, which read eleven forty-five.

Chu Ge felt puzzled; they had been fighting within the Barrier for over half an hour, so how had only five minutes passed?

Unable to fathom it, he decided not to think about it.

He believed those people would return.

Chu Ge returned to the apartment, seeing the door slightly open, and felt a jolt in his heart, remembering he had forgotten Wen Zaao’s safety during the fight.

With the door ajar, he feared those people also attacked Wen Zaao.

He rushed inside, only to find Wen Zaao leisurely sitting at the dining table, watching a tablet and eating fruit, looking completely at ease...
