Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Single-handedly Awing a Crowd of Enemies
Deep in the chaotic mountain forest.
Song Ming’s face was ashen. He was gasping for breath, fleeing for his life. His heart pounded wildly in his chest, and he was drenched in a cold sweat.
’This is terrifying!’
’Absolutely terrifying!’
He never would have imagined he’d suddenly run into such a God of Slaughter.
’Is he from the Qingshui Docks?’
’Damn it! If I’d known this would happen, I never would have burned down the docks!’
Song Ming was filled with regret and remorse.
’I should have retreated the moment I got free.’
’But no, I just had to get cocky and burn down the docks!’
’And as a result, I’ve provoked this monster!’
’No, I have to take the waterway. Only by water can I meet up with Uncle Yue’s people and have a chance of being saved. Otherwise, I’m a dead man!’
Song Ming’s face was pale as countless thoughts raced through his mind.
He burst out of the dense woods, got his bearings, and fled directly toward the nearby Qingshui River.
Finally, he saw a vast expanse of water ahead. Several large ships were sailing on its surface.
He could clearly make out one of the large ships.
It was adorned with black flags embroidered with the words "Giant Whale Gang".
"Help! Help me!"
Song Ming quickly waded into the water and swam desperately toward the large ship.
The Giant Whale Gang had always been on good terms with the Thirteen Golden Dragon Fort.
’If I can just make it to that ship, I’ll definitely live to see another day.’
On the large ship, many experts from the Giant Whale Gang were gathered, discussing important matters.
Even Lu Yao, who had just recently been brutally beaten by Chen Xuan, was there.
Suddenly, they heard someone shouting. Looking over, they were slightly taken aback.
In the water, a disheveled figure covered in blood was swimming rapidly toward them.
"Who are you?"
A squad leader from the Giant Whale Gang came to the ship’s railing and barked the question.
"My name is Song Ming! I’m the nephew of Yue Village Chief of the Thirteen Golden Dragon Fort! I’m being hunted by villains, save me quickly!"
Song Ming screamed in panic.
"Miss, it’s Song Ming!"
The expressions of several experts changed slightly as they immediately reported to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao’s elegant brows furrowed. She said coldly, "Pull him up!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Several Giant Whale Gang members quickly lowered a rope, tossing it toward the water.
Song Ming grabbed the rope and was quickly pulled up from the water.
「At that very moment.」
Deep beneath the water, a burly, powerful figure, like a ferocious swordfish, was cutting through the waves, swimming swiftly. From a distance, he saw the large ship ahead.
He even saw Song Ming being hauled onto the vessel.
Without hesitation, Chen Xuan’s body, like that of a great beast, erupted from beneath the water in a surge of churning waves. He latched onto the edge of the ship and vaulted himself upward with immense force.
SPLASH!
His body shot upward, ferocious and terrifying. His muscles bulged, and veins popped all over his body.
Everyone’s expression changed in shock.
’Who is that?’
"Die!"
A palm chopped down viciously at the top of Song Ming’s head.
Song Ming had just been dragged onto the ship and hadn’t even had time to react when he felt a terrifyingly scorching aura. His face went pale with fright. With a sickening THUD, his entire head was driven into his own chest cavity. His body swayed once before collapsing onto the deck.
[A true man is clear about his grievances and grudges. A job well done. Retribution points +2000!]
A line of text appeared.
THUD!
Chen Xuan’s body landed steadily on the deck, the powerful impact rocking the entire ship from side to side.
Chen Xuan’s brows furrowed.
’The Giant Whale Gang’s ship!’
"Who... who are you?"
Many of the Giant Whale Gang experts, shocked and enraged, shouted at him.
"Chen Xuan!"
Lu Yao’s pupils contracted violently. A look of shocked fury appeared on her face as she stared at the man she had thought of day and night—the one she longed to crush underfoot to wash away her shame. She gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"What? He’s Chen Xuan!"
"Insolent! How dare you kill someone on the deck of a Giant Whale Gang ship? What audacity!"
"Who gave you the nerve? Kneel! And kowtow!"
The crowd roared.
They had long since heard about how their Miss had been humiliated at Chen Xuan’s hands.
All of them had been bottling up their Dark Energy, wanting to stand up for their Miss.
They never expected to run into Chen Xuan here today.
Chen Xuan’s expression was cold. "What? You all want to gang up on me? What’s all this shouting about? This man burned down my docks. I chased him all the way here, only for him to be saved by you. You should be glad I’m not causing trouble for you. What are you all yapping at me for?"
"Chen Xuan, you’re going too far!"
Lu Yao shouted angrily.
"So it’s you!"
Chen Xuan’s face was impassive as he finally recognized Lu Yao. "I’m not the one going too far. This man killed my subordinate and burned my territory. I have evidence for everything I’ve done. If you, the Giant Whale Gang, want to stand up for him, I suggest you reconsider! Also, I’m taking his body with me!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the corpse and made to leave.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Suddenly, a Buddhist chant rang out.
A monk in monastic robes, looking to be in his early thirties, stepped out from beside Lu Yao. With a faint smile, he said, "I have long heard that the Red Sand Gang has a renowned and powerful Squad Leader Chen. Seeing you today, it seems the rumors are true. However... this humble monk sees a dark cloud hanging over your face. I’m afraid you may be facing a bloody calamity soon!"
He approached Chen Xuan, studying him closely with a smile.
The others all began to sneer.
One by one, they instinctively formed a circle, preventing Chen Xuan from escaping.
He had finally stumbled into their territory today. It would be laughable if they just let him walk away so easily.
"I think you’re the one facing a bloody calamity!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was flat. "Want your old man here to treat it for you?"
"A sin, a sin!"
The monk shook his head gently. "This humble monk speaks the truth, yet Patron Chen thinks I am joking. It would be difficult for me to save you even if I wanted to. Surrounded by a pack of wolves, with experts as numerous as the clouds, this humble monk truly cannot imagine how Patron Chen plans to leave here safely.
"How about this? Turn around and beg Miss Lu. As long as Miss Lu agrees, perhaps no one here will try to stop you today!"
"No need. I’ll treat your bloody calamity first!"
Chen Xuan took a step forward, his body moving with incredible speed as he had already thrust out a palm.
The monk’s expression changed slightly. He immediately circulated his energy. The muscles on his body instantly tensed and hardened, his skin taking on an adamantine, golden hue, as if cast from gold, shining brilliantly.
This was the Buddhist martial art, Glazed Golden Body.
He had trained bitterly for years and was confident that no one below the level of Transforming Force could break through his defense.
BANG!
SQUELCH!
The next moment, the large, vein-covered hand struck the monk with irresistible power, instantly unleashing a blast of Qi Energy. The monk violently spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed in agony. His entire chest caved in on the spot, and shards of shattered bone pierced through his flesh, shooting out from his back.
His tall body flew backward like a scarecrow, smashing violently against the mast. With a loud CRACK, the entire mast broke in two.
"It seems your bloody calamity has come to pass!"
Chen Xuan’s tone was indifferent. He suddenly turned his head and swept his gaze over the others.
"I’m right here today. All of you, every single one!"
"Who wants to make a move? Now’s your chance!"
His face was cold, his body tall and imposing. His skin gleamed with a bronze luster, and his ferocious muscles bulged, causing everyone’s expression to change, a mixture of shock and rage.
But not a single one of them dared to step forward.
