Chapter 484 - 287: Intimidation (2)

Chapter 484: Chapter 287: Intimidation (2)

With Su Xing’s arrival, a violent sonic boom erupted, as if space itself had been shattered. Simultaneously, the small pavilion abruptly collapsed.

BOOM!

The entire pavilion was reduced to rubble. The people standing in the center of the ruins wore expressions of disbelief. The guy who had just appeared hadn’t even attacked yet; the sheer act of his high-speed arrival had caused this level of destruction. It was truly astonishing.

If Su Xing had collided with any one of them while rushing here, they would have been instantly turned into a bloody pulp with no time to react. Yet, they showed no signs of retreating.

They knew very well that although the man before them was powerful, this was their turf. If he insisted on a fight, they could wear him down and kill him through sheer numbers.

In truth,

Su Xing understood this as well.

On his way here, he had noticed the changes in Lei Family Village. While some things were unclear to him, he had seen the bodies of Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu. Combined with the Jile Valley Extraordinary Beings everywhere, he understood that Lei Family Village had now become a true lion’s den.

Even with his superior strength, Su Xing didn’t dare claim he could face so many Extraordinary Beings from Jile Valley. After all, who knew if more Tier Eight Transcendents were on their way?

Besides... the seal on Sea Fish Island still left a deep impression on Su Xing. Although he had found a flaw in the seal and managed to escape, who could say if the enemy had other tricks up their sleeve? Therefore, Su Xing hadn’t come here this time to slaughter them all.

He just wanted to get Leng Wuque out.

Now, his sudden appearance had successfully intimidated the enemy. It was time to leave. Without a word, Su Xing grabbed Leng Wuque’s wheelchair and began to slowly push it away.

His pace wasn’t fast; he simply walked slowly forward. But no one dared to try and stop him. They were all from Jile Valley, but it was hard to say they had any sense of collective honor.

They were all just hired help, so was it really worth risking their lives? Consequently, after Su Xing demonstrated such terrifying power, even Gu Chenfei hesitated.

If he tried to stop Su Xing now, he might be able to hold out for reinforcements from Jile Valley, but he would definitely die here. Unquestionably, he didn’t want to die. So, he moved his lips but said nothing.

Li Ye watched Su Xing’s terrifying display of intimidation and gave a helpless twitch of his lips. His eyes, however, remained fixed on the crowd until Su Xing disappeared from view. Only then did Li Ye turn and leave.

For a moment, the atmosphere was frozen solid.

After a long while, Gu Chenfei finally let out a slow breath. He turned to a Jile Valley disciple beside him and said, annoyed:

"Didn’t Lin Loulan say that guy couldn’t show up for at least twenty-four hours?! Then who the hell is this?!"

"Damn it, if I hadn’t been quick on the uptake, he would have killed me on the spot! Hurry and report back to him. Tell him Leng Wuque escaped. What’s our next move?"

"..."

The man nodded. "Yes, sir."

Of course, although he nodded, he would definitely not repeat Gu Chenfei’s complaints to Lin Loulan. In truth, Lin Loulan wasn’t technically a member of Jile Valley, but his status within the organization was unimaginably high, far beyond what a small fry like him could ever hope to compare to.

...

「Outside Lei Family Village, on a mountaintop.」

Su Xing pushed Leng Wuque to this spot, and Li Ye soon appeared as well. Li Ye looked at Su Xing and couldn’t help but murmur:

"We finally made it out. Thank goodness for you, Fellow Daoist Su."

Su Xing just shook his head. "Lin Loulan is stronger than I imagined. His schemes are all linked, one after another. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have ended up in such a state."

"Where are we going next?"

Su Xing was clearly asking Leng Wuque. Leng Wuque thought for a moment and said, "North of Lei Family Village, there’s a mountain forest filled with peach trees. The terrain is complex; even an expert who has mastered spatial teleportation would have a hard time finding us there."

"What about Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu?"

Li Ye asked, somewhat tactlessly.

He hadn’t seen their bodies and subconsciously thought they were still alive. Leng Wuque was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"...Let’s go."

Soon, the three of them arrived at the peach tree forest. It had once been a tourist attraction, but since the Peach Blossoms had yet to bloom, it was naturally deserted.

Su Xing used his authority to dismiss all the staff guarding the tourist area. As a result, the three of them were the only ones left in the vast scenic spot.

"They shouldn’t be able to find us here, right?"

Li Ye said, looking around.

"If we wanted to avoid fighting them, we could have just gone back to the organization’s headquarters with me. Since Leng Wuque chose to come here, I’m afraid this is just a short break,"

Su Xing said, looking at Leng Wuque.

Leng Wuque nodded. "One of the Sea Fish Organization’s bosses, the Flipping River Mirage, has died a horrible death. They will definitely need time to regroup and won’t be able to focus all their attention on hunting us down. What’s more, they are certainly wary of Su Xing’s strength, so it should be very safe here."

"..."

As Li Ye felt the tranquility of the moment, he was suddenly reminded of the danger back in Lei Family Village. If it hadn’t been for Su Xing’s sudden appearance, whether he could have brought Leng Wuque here was truly an unknown.

"Thank you both for saving me this time. It was my incompetence that dragged you both into danger,"

Leng Wuque said suddenly.

"Team Leader Leng, you’re being too formal. You’re from Modu and had no need to get involved in Cang City’s affairs. Since you came, you are my guest. How could I allow a guest to be put in danger?"

Su Xing shook his head. "However, that Lin Loulan is truly a formidable opponent."

"Yes, he is," Leng Wuque said with a nod.

Yes, formidable. Formidability isn’t necessarily about personal strength. Lin Loulan’s control over the situation also sent a chill down Su Xing’s spine.

"Team Leader Leng, what are your plans now?"

Su Xing asked.

"Minister Su, you must be tired after rushing here. And Brother Li sustained some injuries saving me from that dire situation; he’ll need to rest for a while."

Leng Wuque said, "Also... this time, it was my mistake. I got them killed. Now that we’re finally safe, I need to sort out my thoughts."

"..."

Su Xing looked at Leng Wuque. His face was as calm as ever, but his tone betrayed a hint of sorrow. He was undoubtedly grieving for Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu.

Without a doubt, Zhang Wen and Zhao Wu were two people who had followed Leng Wuque ever since they first became Extraordinary Beings. Now, they had died here. If it were Su Xing in his shoes, he probably would have found it hard to accept as well. So, Su Xing simply nodded and said:

"I understand, Team Leader Leng. Let’s rest here for now."

So, Su Xing used his phone to contact his younger brother and explain the situation in Lei Family Village to the organization. When Su Yu heard the news from Su Xing, he was shocked. He hadn’t expected the trip to be so dangerous.

Countless Tier Seven experts had died horrible deaths. Although not a single Tier Eight Transcendent had perished, it was still an unspeakably tragic loss. One had to remember that in the eyes of most people, Tier Sevens were already considered elites among elites.

Unfortunately,

Li Longxuan still hadn’t replied.

It had been three or four days since Su Xing’s return. In this internet age where mobile phones are ubiquitous, not hearing back for three or four days was a very worrying sign. However, Li Longxuan’s strength was not to be underestimated; it was unlikely he would run into trouble and be unable to send out even a single message.

’What on earth are they doing?’

Su Xing thought in confusion. He had already made up his mind. Once he settled the matters in Cang City, he would definitely go to Modu to see for himself. He would naturally be able to figure everything out once he was there.
