“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.
He then hid the corpse well.
Zhou Xuelin didn’t understand what Xia Qingchen was trying to do and only watched with wide-open eyes.
“You’ll have to bear with it for a while.” Xia Qingchen turned and looked apologetically toward Zhou Xuelin.
While she was feeling perplexed, Xia Qingchen pushed her down to the ground.
He then grabbed out, tearing the clothes at her chest, revealing a large area of her fair skin.
“What are you doing?” Zhou Xuelin was shocked.
Xia Qingchen lowered his voice. “Work with me!”
He then pounced over, pressing her down under him.
Zhou Xuelin’s mind turned completely blank, and she lost the ability to think.
She allowed Xia Qingchen to have his way on her body.
Swoosh——
Suddenly, the sunflowers behind them were parted to the side. The two masked men holding sabers came dashing over with seething killing auras.
They discovered movements in the Sunflower Garden and thought that there were survivors hidden here.
It ended up that it was just one of them ravaging a young lady.
“I was wondering who it was. Turns out that it’s just a lust-filled guy. Look at how anxious you are!”
“Hey hey, that lady is of great caliber!”
The two of them spoke out, not doubting Xia Qingchen’s identity at all.
Xia Qingchen stopped in his action, turned his face, and said with a cold expression, “Scram! Can’t you see that I’m busy here?”
The two masked men laughed.
“You need to find the right time for things, right? Everyone is gathering now, preparing to bring along the hostages and retreat. You can continue if you wish to be beheaded by the leader. Hehe, the woman you caught is really of high quality. After you’re done with her, don’t forget about your brothers!”
Xia Qingchen snorted, carrying Zhou Xuelin up over his shoulders like he was carrying a sack. He said coldly, “She is mine! Don’t anyone dare touch her!” Amidst loud laughter, the three of them left together.
Before leaving, Xia Qingchen seemingly grabbed a few strands of wild grass in the garden.
Thereafter, he arrived in the center of the Myriad Longevity Manor.
The training ground they had been at earlier was now covered in rivers of blood.
Many corpses piled up into a mountain and were burned up by a group of masked men.
Most of the corpses belonged to the guards and servants in the Myriad Longevity Manor. They hadn’t managed to escape.
Xia Qingchen even saw the corpse of the A class’s tutor, Zheng Fengrui.
There were horror and nonacceptance in his eyes.
Xia Qingchen’s countenance was cold.
These masked men were so brutal and inhuman, not even letting the servants go. Was there a need to ask who they were?
Bandits!
“Everyone, take care of the hostages you’ve caught and retreat immediately. Given my understanding of the martial pavilion, they should have already found out about the things here from other channels and are leading an army here.”
A familiar voice rang out.
Xia Qingchen looked over and his eyes narrowed slightly.
A man whose face was masked by a yellow cloth stood in front of the mountain of corpses, issuing orders.
He was the initiator and commander of this operation.
However, he had another identity!
He had been a tutor in the martial pavilion, Li Weifeng!
The reason the Myriad Longevity Manor was easily taken down was because of his guidance.
Over the years, he had brought over ten batches of outstanding students here and was very familiar with the place!
Li Weifeng gave a perfect demonstration of how a traitor was even more detestable than one’s enemies!
“Go!” Li Weifeng led the group and rapidly left the Myriad Longevity Manor.
Xia Qingchen mixed in amongst them, following them to depart from this place.
Zhou Xuelin, whom he was carrying, finally understood Xia Qingchen’s intention. She quietly lay on his back, not moving.
Not long later, they boarded a huge ship that was docked by the shore.
Each bandit brought along their hostages back to their rooms, guarding over them.
After returning to the room, Xia Qingchen closed the cabin’s door. It was only then did he remove his mask, revealing his cold expression.
