Chapter 40 (1/2)

Meng Chuan walked into the private room calmly, his gaze landing on the two bandits.

The fat man and the bearded man stood up. They were somewhat wary, but they still welcomed him with a smile on their faces. They didn’t wish to cause any trouble in Eastcalm Prefecture. The bearded man cupped his hands and said with a smile, “Greetings, Young Master Meng. For you to come to our room, I wonder if you have any instructions for these brothers?”

“I’m here to kill!” When the calm voice rang out, a saber beam lit up.

This strike was too fast!

Now that he was already at the late-stage of the Mortal Shedding realm and had a robust G.o.dfiend foundation, his G.o.dfiend Body was no weaker than an ordinary Seamless realm cultivator. Furthermore, having already figured out Saber Force, even if he didn’t use it, the fusion of body, mind, and technique was enough for him to unleash even greater amounts of his body’s potential. Being most adept at speed, that single slash caused the two bandits in the room to instantly feel their hearts chill.

Not good. Both of them knew that something was amiss, but the slightly weaker fat man failed to react in time as the saber beam sliced through his throat.

Gasp! Gasp! Gasp! The fat man clasped his throat, but the blood kept spewing out. His face became awash with terror and despair as he felt his life slipping away rapidly.

“What?” The bearded man was a Seamless realm expert. His reaction was much faster, having leaped out of the window the moment Meng Chuan struck out with his saber. He knew very well that exchanging blows with Meng Chuan was meaningless. He needed to flee as fast as he could once his ident.i.ty was exposed in Eastcalm Prefecture.

The more time pa.s.sed, the more powerful experts would arrive. His chances of survival would become slim.

Meng Chuan killed the fat man with a single slash. His figure phased away as he dashed out of the window in pursuit of Blood Hand Zhao Can. These two bandits could forget about escaping today!

“What happened?”

Many guests and women in Azure Cloud Brothel’s main hall watched as a figure flew out from a private room on the second floor. A faster figure soon followed the first. A saber beam streaked across the air, heading towards the first figure..

Before he landed, Blood Hand Zhao Can had worn a black glove. His hands suddenly grew in size as though they were fans. With palms that were twice the size of a normal person’s, he struck out with a mystical move and blocked the strike.

Clang!

Zhao Can felt a powerful force pa.s.s through his arm into his body. His body involuntarily slammed onto the floor of Azure Cloud Brothel, causing a huge crater to form on the wooden floor. He sent splinters flying into the air.

The other guests had already quickly retreated. Cultivation was a very common thing. It was very common for people to engage in brawls in places like brothels. Battles normally happened because of jealousy, meaning physical injuries the worst outcome. However, it seemed like this battle was different.

“It’s Young Master Meng.” The guests and courtesans watched from afar as they saw the scion land on the ground.

The usually modest young scion was now filled with killing intent. The killing intent in his eyes caused everybody to tremble in fear.

“Young Master Meng, don’t go too far. If you push me into a corner, I’ll make sure you die with me,” said Zhao Can with a ferocious expression as he stood up.

“You want me to die with you?” Meng Chuan walked over. “Do you think you have what it takes?”

“Humph.” Zhao Can charged towards the crowd to capture hostages.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan turned into a phantom the moment his Lightning Divine Body erupted. He became much faster than Zhao Can. Before the latter could hold someone hostage, another slash came cleaving right at him.

Pfft. Zhao Can blocked with both fan-like hands. A perfect defense that continued for Meng Chuan’s next two strikes.

But following that was the third strike.

He seems to be a bit stronger than me? I can’t be held back by him. I have to think of a way to escape. It’s night time now… as long as I can escape from him in the darkness, I’ll have a chance to escape from Eastcalm Prefecture.

Whoosh.

The third strike remained as fast as before.

Just as Zhao Can was about to block the attack, he realized that the saber beam had turned faint. His combat instincts honed over the years made him instinctively retreat, but the faint saber beam slashed him horizontally! It almost sliced across his neck.

Pfft!

One of his arms flew up.

My arm. Zhao Can’s eyes turned red. Although he had managed to dodge the terrifying saber strike, Meng Chuan had still managed to slice off his arm.

Escape! Escape! Escape! Zhao Can suppressed his hatred. At this moment, he didn’t hesitate to unleash a forbidden G.o.dfiend technique. Instantly, his skin reddened, and he began to release his Quintessential Energy to his limits. Instantly, his speed and strength increased by a great deal, but the longer this state persisted, the more danger he would be in. The damage ranged from injuries to his meridians that would take a year or so to recover to heavily damaging his organs and dantian. Such injuries might cripple him.

However, if he didn’t use a forbidden G.o.dfiend technique, certain death awaited him.

Boom! He completely unleashed the forbidden technique. Zhao Can frantically slammed into the nearest wall. Tables and chairs along the path shattered, and a huge hole opened up in the thick wooden wall. He immediately charged outside.

In order to survive, he didn’t even have time to go through the door or the windows. Instead, he charged into the wall.

“Humph!” Unstained by any blood, the saber-wielding Meng Chuan moved, transforming into a blur as he pursued Zhao Can through the gaping hole.

Many of the customers in Azure Cloud Brothel heaved sighs of relief and looked outside through the windows. Many of them stared at the gloved arm on the ground in amazement.

“The person who was being pursued earlier on seems to have the strength at the Seamless realm.”
