Chapter 55 (1/2)

“Hmph!” His right leg sent some inner force out. Even a metal chain that was as thick as a person’s thumb should have been shattered from the impact.

However, the golden thread didn’t budge at all!

“This isn’t good!” he thought to himself. A fierce force came transmitting from the other end of the thread, pulling at his right leg.

Losing his balance, he fell to the ground.

He was about to crawl back up when the other end of the thread kept on sending forces over, dragging him on the ground, all the way to the end of the Sunflower Garden.

“Who’s there?” The red-cowled man appeared both surprised and angry. He slapped both his palms to the ground, tapping on the force to bounce up.

He bounced up, with his upper body inclined.

He needed to first stabilize his footing before he could break out from the thread

However, it was as if the other party was waiting for this moment where he got back up.

“Nine Dragons In the Sky!”

The sunflowers in the Sunflower Garden swayed and Xia Qingchen leaped into midair.

He turned his body, and the nine streams of inner force vortexes that had been accumulating in his palms struck out fiercely toward the masked man’s chest.

The masked man was in the process of a jump. At this moment, he was unable to dodge nor was he able to put up any effective resistance.

Xia Qingchen could be said to have grabbed hold of this timing perfectly!

Rumble——

Nine thunderous sounds rang out, consecutively exploding at the masked man’s chest.

No matter how strong the masked man’s body was, he was unable to receive the Nine Dragons In the Sky.

Pffft——

The domineering explosions caused his chest to erupt.

He died exactly on the spot!

“Ahhh~” The splattering blood caused the young lady to cover her ears and scream out.

“Shut up!”

Xia Qingchen dashed over and covered her mouth, then carried her into the Sunflower Garden.

Amidst her shock, the young lady just realized that the one who had saved her was Xia Qingchen.

“It’s… it’s you?” The young lady wore a complex expression.

Xia Qingchen said coldly, “Who else?”

This young lady wasn’t anyone else. It was Zhou Xuelin.

Due to her outstanding beauty and figure, she had caught the eye of this masked man. He had chased her all the way to the garden.

Zhou Xuelin opened her beautiful eyes that were glistening, feeling very astonished.

The astonishment was from the great power that Xia Qingchen had concealed, as well as his decisiveness and ruthlessness when he had killed the man.

“Don’t talk. Hide properly!” Xia Qingchen walked out and dragged the masked man’s corpse into the depths of the sunflowers. He then rapidly wiped away all the blood traces and trails left behind on the ground.

After that, the two of them remained hidden, not moving.

Zhou Xuelin unconsciously got closer to Xia Qingchen, feeling nervous but indescribably secure.

She sneaked a glance at Xia Qingchen’s serious side view, and her face flushed up uncontrollably.

It was because after looking at him, she realized that Xia Qingchen actually looked quite handsome.

At the thought of this, her heart started beating very quickly.

The time taken to drink a cup of tea passed by.

The sounds coming from outside became increasingly softer. It should be that the masked men had completely taken over the Myriad Longevity Manor.

Swoosh——

Suddenly, two sets of footsteps rang out outside the garden.

“Go check out the garden. When I was chasing after a student earlier, I heard fighting sounds coming from there!”

Zhou Xuelin felt nervous, and she put her hands over her undulating chest, her face turning ghastly pale.

Xia Qingchen’s gaze turned a little solemn.

Although the Sunflower Garden was very dense, if these people were bent on searching the place, how could they not find two people here?

Moreover, there were two enemies, and he was unable to deal a killing strike to both of them concurrently.

In a battle, the slightest sound would attract other enemies.

After giving it some thought, Xia Qingchen threw a glance at the masked man’s corpse and rapidly took off his red mask and clothes. He put them on.

After Xia Qingchen was done, he looked just like one of them.
