Chapter 256: Betrayal

Chapter 256: Betrayal

“Who are all of you? You actually dare interfere with our Blackwind Stockade’s business?!” Gu Yueyi crawled up from the ground in a sorry state, wiping at the blood off the corners of his lips.

From that brief interaction, he already understood that the other party’s cultivation was much higher than his own. That was why he could only pull out the Blackwind Stockade bluff and see if he could scare the other party off.

“Blackwind Stockade?” That red haired man’s eyes became completely round. He then looked at the brothers at his side, starting to roar with laughter. “There’s nothing wrong with my hearing today, right? He just said Blackwind Stockade just now?”

This group roared with laughter, their eyes full of ridicule and pity.

Gu Yueyi cursed inside, yet he couldn’t figure out where the problem lied.

Zu An shook his head. For scammers to screw up like this, it really was quite embarrassing.

That red haired man was naturally the Chen Xuan they met before in Immortal Abode.

He subconsciously looked at Qiu Honglei beside him, but apart from the panic and alarm she performed on the surface, her expression instead remained extremely calm .

Right at this time, Chen Xuan suddenly turned around, coldly saying, “I was wondering why our Blackwind Stockade’s reputation seemed to have been dwindling. Turns out it was you fellas who were passing yourselves off as, ruining our reputation!”

Gu Yueyi’s expression immediately changed greatly. “You… you are…”

The red haired man said proudly. “I’ll let you have the pleasure of understanding before your death. I am Blackwind Stockade’s Chen Xuan!”

Gu Yueyi gulped his saliva. He subconsciously gave Qiu Honglei to the side a look.

Qiu Honglei’s beautiful brows also furrowed slightly, clearly not expecting Chen Xuan to be this brazen, daring to publicly enter the city like this, revealing themselves before everyone’s eyes.

“Senior, you should hurry and leave first.” She secretly transmitted sound through ki.

“Then what about you?!” Gu Yueyi felt a bit of hesitation. The main reason was because this junior sister was too beautiful. If she was left here, wouldn’t this completely be sending a lamb into a tiger’s den? He would definitely be angry at himself over this for the rest of his life.”

“I have my ways to deal with this.” Qiu Honglei quickly replied. At the same time, she urged him to leave.

“I guess there’s no choice then!”

Gu Yueyi clenched his teeth. After all, his life was still the most important. Moreover, this junior was too mysterious. No one else could see through her normally, so she might actually have some life-saving methods.

He already made his decision. He directly jumped to Zu An and the other two’s side, hoving his blade over their bodies. “Don’t come over, or else I’ll kill them in one move!”

Zu An revealed a faint smile. “Bro, didn’t you just say you were Chen Xuan? How did we end up meeting someone with the same name today?”

“Shut your mouth!” Gu Yueyi was both ashamed and angry.

You have successfully trolled Gu Yueyi for +345 Rage!

He never expected this Chen Xuan to be this formidable. The other party was rumored to only be at the peak of fifth rank, but he was clearly at the sixth rank from their exchange!

Chen Xuan released a cold snort. “I am unrelated to either of them in any way, yet you want to use them to threaten me?”

“Especially that Zu brat, I really want to skin him alive and eat his flesh. If you really do end up killing him, then I should be thanking you!”

Gu Yueyi gave Zu An a look. He never expected this fella to actually be this good at provoking hatred, provoking chen Xuan. Seems like he was dead for certain today. “Even if you loathe this Zu kid, what about lady Qiu? She is Immortal Abode’s most beautiful courtesan queen. I refuse to believe that your heart isn’t moved!”

Chen Xuan laughed heartily. “What you said is correct. This girl is indeed quite fine, just right in every way. I really am quite fond of her.”

Qiu Honglei: “……”

Gu Yueyin immediately felt happy. “In that case, let us go, or else I’ll kill her!”

Chen Xuan’s face sunk. “You can ask anyone around here and they’ll tell you that this Chen has always hated being threatened by others. Even if you kill her, it won’t matter. I have always acted cautiously during this life of mine. At worst, I’ll just shoot a load while it’s still warm, but afterwards, I will definitely skin you alive piece by piece!”

Gu Yueyi: “……”

Qiu Honglei: “……”

Zu An was also completely stupefied. While still warm?

Was this guy really that much of a freak?

Right at this time, Chen Xuan reached out his hand and twisted it. The blade in Gu Yueyi’s hands was directly crumpled like fried dough.

“Metal element cultivator!”

Zu An already had his suspicions previously.

Gu Yueyi’s reaction was also fast. He grabbed the two companions beside him and threw them over, while he himself jumped into the river without any hesitation. When his toes touched the water surface, his figure already chumped several zhang away.

Zu An nodded to himself as he watched. This fella’s movement technique wasn’t bad at all. He could actually move so easily on water. As expected of a fifth rank.

How could those two companions have expected that they would be thrown under the bus by their own people? They were shocked and furious, panicking as they brandished their weapons at Chen Xuan in an attempt of survival.

Who would have expected that Chen Xuan wouldn’t even dodge? He only took a step forward, letting these long blades strike his body.

Those two were overjoyed at first, but their expressions changed right away. There was no familiar sound of cutting into flesh, but rather the sound of clashing metal. They could even see sparks fly along their blades.

However, this was also the last scene they could see, because their necks were gripped by Chen Xuan’s iron claw like large hands, and then twisted. Two corpses fell limply to the ground.

Zu An frowned inwardly. A flash of metallic radiance seemed to have been produced from the other party’s body in that instant, as if his entire body became copper skinned iron bones. When those blades landed, they weren’t even able to leave the slightest trace.

Is he completely invincible to blades?

Zu An felt a bit of a headache. If the enemy really was invincible to bladed weapons, then he himself might be in quite a bit of trouble too.

On the other side, Chen Xuan didn’t stop at all. He quickly chased along the river, clearly having no intention of letting Gu Yueyi go.

At this time, Qiu Honglei seemed to have inadvertently stood up, yet it perfectly blocked his escape.

Chen Xuan stopped, his brows furrowing slightly while looking at her.

Only after being so close to her did he discover how frightening her exceptional beauty was. His tightly furrowed brows immediately couldn’t help but unfold.

Qiu Honglei bowed slightly. “I never expected it to be Stockade Leader Chen who personally came. There was some negligence on my part back in Immortal Abode, I must ask the stockade leader to pardon me for that.”

When he saw the high and mighty courtesan now greet him respectfully, her tone extremely humble and fawning, Chen Xuan’s entire body felt amazing.

“Haha, I won’t blame you for not knowing this one. Lady Qiu has shown too much courtesy.” He reached out a hand to hold her while speaking. When he saw her exquisite curves, even Chen Xuan who had played with his fair share of women couldn’t help but feel his breathing become hurried.

“Stockade leader really is a great person who does not remember offenses of the petty.” Qiu Honglei got up and took a step back without any signs, perfectly evading his touch. “Honglei wishes to prepare another feast in Immortal Abode, so I hope the stockade leader can move aside and let me properly offer you my apologies.”

Chen Xuan laughed. “That apology can wait. Let me deal with this little bastard first.”

“Little bastard is cursing who?” Zu An suddenly asked.

“Little bastard is cursing you!” Chen Xuan subconsciously replied.

Zu An smiled. “Indeed, it is a little bastard cursing me.”

Chen Xuan: “……”

He finally reacted, unable to help but erupt into fury. He reached out a hand towards Zu An’s neck. “Damn brat, die!”

You have successfully trolled Chen Xuan for +444 Rage!

Qiu Honglei hurriedly pulled Zu An behind her. “Stockade Leader Chen, this young master is my friend. I hope Stockade Leader Chen can be magnanimous and spare his life.”

Zu An was a bit surprised. She actually spoke for him at this type of time.

Didn’t this woman try to scam me just now? Why is she trying to save me now? Just what is she trying to do?

Chen Xuan released a cold snort. “If it was anyone else, I might have spared them out of favor for lady Qiu. However, I absolutely must kill this fella.”

“Why? Was it because I hurt your feelings back in Immortal Abode?” Zu An was a bit curious. From the moment the other party learned of his identity, he immediately contributed a huge amount of Rage points. He had always wondered why.

“Why?” Chen Xuan’s face warped slightly. “Do you still remember Silverhook Casino’s Mei Chaofeng? He my brother who we mutually depended on for survival, a heroic figure, yet he was harmed to death by a brat like you.”

You have successfully trolled Chen Xuan for +999 Rage!

Zu An suddenly realized with a flash. “So you are someone from the Shi clan!”

Now, he finally realized what was going on. This guy was sworn brothers with Mei Chaofeng, so there was no way he didn’t know about the conflict between the Shi clan and himself. This was most likely two brothers one inside one outside, working for the Shi clan in the light and in the dark.

Chen Xuan licked his lisp, his eyes flickering with a hint of excitement. “What a pity that you learned this too late. Today, I am going to break every single one of your bones, at the same time skin you piece by piece to avenge my pitiful brother!”

He thought to himself that since Qiu Honglei also heard his secret, he would have normally silenced her as well.

However, she really was too pretty! He really became a bit reluctant. If he dragged her back to the mountains to tend his home, his secret wouldn’t be exposed either.

Zu An couldn’t help but say, “Just talk if you have something to say, why do you always lick your lips at me? I’m not a beautiful girl, it’s so weird and gross.”

Chen Xuan: “……”

You have successfully trolled Chen Xuan for +666 Rage!

Qiu Honglei also looked at him in speechless shock. This fella’s brain really was a bit strange. Just what kind of situation were they in now? Yet he still had the nerve to deliberately provoke the other party?

“Shut your damn mouth! You will soon regret having that lowly mouth!”

Chen Xuan pressed forward with an overcast expression, crackling noises released from his hand.

Qiu Honglei furrowed her brows. She subconsciously grabbed towards the lamp on the side.

Her pure white hand was just about to touch the lamp, but she suddenly pulled it back.

Cackling laughter sounded at once. “Young lady-killer, what made you run all the way here in the middle of the night? No one will even know if you end up being killed here.”

An endlessly alluring figure leapt onto the boat. Because of the force that she landed with, her chest swayed, making the eyes of all of the men here move up and down as well.

Even though her face was covered, Zu An still recognized this to be Pei Mianman from a single look. After all, her figure that rolled like the waves really was too striking.

After Chen Xuan’s initial shock, he quickly smiled. “Hahaha, this Chen’s luck really is too great today, running into two astonishing beauties. I’ll be able to enjoy myself every day in the future.”

Even though she was masked, from her beautiful eyes and enchanting eyebrows, it was obvious that she was also a great beauty.

Taking ten thousand steps back, with this type of ridiculous figure, her face already didn’t matter that much.

When she heard his words, Pei Mianman’s expression became cold. “Mister Chen, you seem to have quite the guts.”

Chen Xuan patted his belly. “This chen doesn’t only have great guts, there is another place that is even greater!”

“You are courting death!” Even though Pei Mianman normally seemed charming and affectionate, she was still an untainted young lady. When had she ever received such vulgar words before? A strand of black flame suddenly ignited, directly sweeping towards the other party.

Chen Xuan’s expression changed. It was clear that he sensed the terrifying power of the black flame. He didn’t dare face this attack head on like he did with the blades before.

When she saw these two begin to fight, Qiu Honglei hurriedly said, “Thank you female hero for your life saving grace. There will definitely be a generous reward for your actions in the future.”

After saying this, she directly dragged Zu An into Brightmoon River, quickly swimming towards the distance.

“So cheap!” How could Peimian have expected that she would leave just like that? She actually brought Zu An with her too! Unfortunately, she had her hands full with Chen Xuan right now too, unable to break free right away. She could only watch as the two left.
