Chapter 549 - Sneaking (1/2)

“What?” Before Yang Qing could react, the sound of soldiers striding outside the hall could be heard. Chu Qi instantly took out her Full Moon Blade. Xiao Chen raised his hand and said, “Don’t be nervous.”

After saying that, Xiao Chen slowly walked to the door. At this time, there was a burst of clapping outside. It was King Shen who slowly walked over.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “It’s a small world to meet again. I’ve met King Shen again so soon.”

King Shen had a strange smile on his face. He glanced at him and then looked at the corpses in the hall. He smiled grimly, “Did you kill these people?”

Xiao Chen shook his head with a faint smile on his face. “No.”

“Do you think anyone will believe you?” King Shen let out a cold laugh.

“No.” Xiao Chen smiled and said.

“Since that is the case…” King Shen’s expression suddenly became cold as he shouted, “Take down these six people who committed murder. Leave them to the Black Corner Head Hall to be dealt with!”

“Bam bam bam!” As King Shen’s words fell, a hundred black-armored soldiers immediately rushed in from outside and surrounded the six people in the middle.

The three men behind Yang Qing immediately pulled out their swords. Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and his face was still relaxed. He did not underestimate the strength of King Shen. This was King Shen’s territory. He believed that even if he summoned Guifeng, he would not be able to escape.

“Has King Shen thought it through? Last night, King Shen made a big scene in the Illusive Aroma Lane, and these people were killed at that time. Can I think that King Shen let me in on purpose to kill people?” Xiao Chen said faintly with a smile.

King Shen’s eyes narrowed. At this time, the noon sun shone on his body, and the shadow covered a large area of the ground, looking a little ferocious. As the breeze blew gently, King Shen raised his head and laughed, “Good!” After that, he narrowed his eyes and waved his hand backward, and the one hundred soldiers immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

Xiao Chen clasped his hands and smiled. “Many thanks, King Shen.” He then said to the people behind him, “Let’s go.”

The group of people immediately left. When they passed King Shen, they heard him say coldly, “I hope that you are not teasing me. Otherwise, you and the people around you will all die a miserable death…”

Even though the sun was high up in the sky, the voice still sounded very chilling. Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said nothing. When the group of people left, Yang Qing secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. “King Shen is really sly.”

“If I sit in this position with a sense of unwillingness and ambition, maybe I… Heh heh.” Speaking of this, Xiao Chen smiled and stopped talking.

Next, the six of them went to the place where Yang Qing and the others hid before. Yang Qing arranged for the three men who did not meet Xiao Chen at the Illusive Aroma Lane to go to the Bloodmoon Hall to investigate first, while the others discussed in the small room. After all, the 12 halls in the Black Horn were not like the 72 small halls, which could be exterminated unknowingly.

An hour later, Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said with concentration, “In this case, the Bloodmoon Hall has two martial artists who are close to the Lv 6. It’s really tough to deal with.”

He had experienced the strength of King Shen last night in Illusive Aroma Tower. King Shen had at least a martial cultivation of Lv 6, but he had not used his full strength last night. If King Shen had used his full strength, Xiao Chen would not be a match for a Lv 6 martial artist with a unique skill.

Martial arts were divided into seven realms, which were equivalent to the seven realms for the cultivators of immortal cultivation. Lv 6 was equivalent to the Apotheosis Realm, and Lv 7 was equivalent to the Grand Completion Realm. People in the higher realms were called Martial Saints, which were equivalent to Rogue Immortals, Earth Immortals, and True Immortals. Xiao Ning and Gu Feng were at least the early-stage Martial Saints.

In the world of martial arts, the martial artists’ yearning for Martial Saint was also equivalent to the yearning of the cultivators for immortals in the Cultivation World.

And in a sense, it was more difficult to deal with martial artists than cultivators, especially for martial artists like King Shen who practiced unique skills. Although they did not have those magnificent magic spells, their speed, their strength, and their unique skills were the nightmare of these cultivators nowadays.

Yang Qing’s expression was grave as well. He frowned and said, “If they’ve cultivated Devilish Skill, I’m afraid it’ll be even more troublesome. Demonic and martial arts practitioners are sometimes even more terrifying than cultivators who have practiced both Immortal skills and martial arts, but it’s not a big deal. The only thing I’m worried about is…”

“Are you worried that the person from the Purple Wind Hall is lying? A dying man speaks kindly. I think there’s no reason for him to lie to us. Moreover, he didn’t look like he’s lying at the time either,” Xiao Chen said.

Yang Qing nodded. “That sounds right. How are you going to act then, Brother Xiao? If the two peak Lv 5 people are guarding the dungeon, and that’s their territory, and they’re proficient in mechanisms and traps, there’s no way we’ll succeed.”

“A man at the peak of Lv 5 was used as a jailor! I don’t think there are so many talented people in the Black Horn. Let’s take action tonight. We’ll hold the two of them back, and Chu Qi will go to save the person.”

After that, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Qi. “There’s only you this time. Are you confident enough?”

“I alone will be enough.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Regarding Chu Qi, he still believed in her abilities very much. Then, he would wait and see, until night fell.
