Chapter 6 – Celestial Core TechniqueTranslated by:Edited by:TLCed by: OMA
To Long Chen, although Xiao Huang is only a cowardly manservant, but he had been following him for a good six years, loyal to him, and if Long Chen had any goodwill at all he would not leave him out, Long Chen did not know who wanted to deal with him, but they actually kidnapped Xiao Huang for it, this was absolutely intolerable for him.
But Long Chen knows, Xiao Huang’s family has a pair of ailing parents which need to be taken care of, if anything were to happen to Xiao Huang, Long Chen will blame himself harshly!
He took the note and tore it to pieces, without saying another word, he rushed out of the Yang family residence, as quickly as a swift pa.s.sing wind, and headed towards the Rising Sun Inn!
This Rising Sun Inn was located near the Emerald Jade House, Long Chen hastened his pace, and the people strolling along the streets had all felt a whirlwind pa.s.sing, leaving no shadow behind!
Looking up, the bright lantern lights that had illuminated the dark night could be seen clearly, Long Chen pressed on one step at a time towards the inn, but many people were walking by, so Long Chen had no choice but to slow down. Looking on, the big wide door was getting closer!
At this moment, on the left side of the street there appeared a horse drawing a horse carriage that was galloping away, this caused the pa.s.sers-by to curse and dodge, but the horse carriage had no intention of slowing down. Originally Long Chen could easily dodge it, but at this instant, behind him there was a little child who was looking at the charging carriage blankly and started to wail.
This horse carriage with its tremendous speed, if it were to charge through the child, it would not leave even a corpse behind, Long Chen being shocked, did not consider anything else, and he who could have dodged long before, had actually turned away and hugged the child tightly, his whole body exerting explosive Qi. At this moment, the horse carriage had already struck Long Chen’s back, sending him flying abruptly.
Loud gasps could be heard along the street, they were thinking that both Long Chen and the child would perish, but they did not expect Long Chen to change his trajectory in the air, and land safely. He did not console the child, and before the crowd could see how he looked like, Long Chen had disappeared. Because he still had to save Xiao Huang’s life.
After pa.s.sing the scene of commotion, Long Chen endured the creeping pain on his back muscles, and entered the Rising Sun Inn.
As he walked through the door, he almost b.u.mped into someone in front of him. Looking up; it was a catchy young lad who had temporarily stunned his eyes.
This young lad looked only to be fourteen or fifteen years of age, which might even be relatively younger than Long Chen. Long Chen’s looks could be considered to be suave enough, but the lad in front of him had a beauty that was a little too bewitching. If not for the protruding Adam’s apple, Long Chen would have almost a.s.sumed he was a beautiful lady.
“Are you male or female?” Not being able to control his mouth, Long Chen blurted out the question.
Listening to his own question made even Long Chen himself embarra.s.sed, but the young man with the delicate features did not get angry, but only looked at Long Chen firmly, and then pointed at his Adam’s apple and said: “I am a male.”
His expression stern, yet the voice was melodious. Long Chen who was reminded of the teasing voices of the Emerald Jade House ladies, after listening to him speak, actually felt a tickling sensation that was difficult to endure.
He quietly berated himself as a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, but thinking that Xiao Huang’s life was not yet saved, he hurriedly walked past the lad, and walked into the Rising Sun Inn.
“Earlier you rescued the child, and narrowly saved a life……”
Behind Long Chen, the lad spoke, but did not think that Long Chen would hurriedly rush into the inn. He shut his mouth, observed curiously, in fact he was not holding any grudges against Long Chen, he only thought that Long Chen’s rescue earlier was praiseworthy.
“This guy is similar to elder brother, his body faintly has the essence from the stars, he probably has practiced a kind of martial technique. This [Celestial Core Technique], I haven’t used it for a long time…..”
The lad watched Long Chen disappear as he muttered to himself.
Just arriving, Long Chen saw a scene which compelled him to stare, turning back he saw, Yang Zhan was sitting at a spot in front of a window, and in front of him, was a beautiful girl.
“Yang Zhan is unexpectedly here, could it be that the kidnapping of Xiao Huang was arranged by him?”
Once again looking at the girl in front of him, Long Chen shook his head, saying: ”If this Yang Zhan wanted to deal with me, he wouldn’t have to resort to this method, so he is surely only here to date chicks……”
Thinking of which, Long Chen did not stop any longer and directly walked to the second floor of the inn, where the note said to enter room number one, and at this point, after arriving here, he could no longer hold back his fury, running closer towards the destination he viciously pushed the door open to be greeted with a sight that was pitch black.
Just arriving into the room, Long Chen had already felt a swing from a knife that was slashing towards him. He hurriedly dodged, and only then could he see the situation inside the room. As of now, the person who struck earlier had already moved in front of the door, and quietly closed it. Then he was coldly looking at Long Chen, while on the opposite side, Long Chen saw Xiao Huang’s body being tied with a rope, his mouth gagged with a cloth with a face of anger and despair which was casted towards Long Chen as he whimpered.
Yet on his side, there stood another guy, both of them wearing masks, but their killing intent was not to be underestimated.
It was exactly the same two who attacked him that other night, until now Long Chen could not understand, such a small fry like himself, why would someone send a.s.sa.s.sins after him.
“Both of you, what’s your ident.i.ty, why do you want to deal with me?”
“Accepting payment, and a.s.sisting to eliminate a c.u.mbersome person. You don’t have to ask much, Yang Chen, just die!”
Two swings of the knife came slashing towards Long Chen; the knife technique was vicious, creating sound from the acceleration of the knife which could make people tremble in fear.
Both of them have similar abilities to me, but their experiences are bountiful, and probably have ama.s.sed enough a.s.sa.s.sinations. Compared to Chen Liu, that loser, they are more frightening by a hundred times. If today I do not use my full capabilities, I will definitely be killed here!”
“Looking at their movements, they should be used to killing in a team, so I only have to defeat one guy, and then I can definitely overcome their allied strength.”
In the darkness, Long Chen’s eyes stared coldly. As the two knifes came rushing towards him, he used his agility, and rolled to the side, and with this roll, he had skillfully overcome the need to face both people at the same time. Then the two black robed men attacked again with one standing in front of the other.
“[Whirlwind Blade]!”
Shouting out, the person at the front had already come close to him with the knife. Looking at their combination which had failed to hit him, Long Chen gritted his teeth, he generated all his Qi, he didn’t back down but instead advanced forward and rushed towards the black robed man!
“[Falling Star Fist]!”
In the pitch black room, a streak of starlight had exploded. The black robed man’s eyes turned big, and felt a wave of strong Qi evade his knife technique, and then hit soundly on his body.
Bang!
The man in the front spurted out blood, and then was smashed into the other man behind him.
Long Chen rushed forward, and in an instantly took hold of the opponent’s knife, gave a roar, and pierced through the man’s heart with a thrust. At this point the blood that had flowed out had dyed both his robes and his face blood red.
The earlier scene might have looked easy, but it was actually a hair-raising experience. Long Chen’s biggest shock was that the [Falling Star Fist] emitted starlight which had blinded the vision of his opponent. [Falling Star Fist] which was an intermediate Huang martial technique, had a might which was equivalent with the strongest attack of the third level of the Dragon Pulse Realm. Therefore he was able to heavily injure the black robed man, and successively kill him afterwards.
