Subsequently, the mysterious figure dived towards Xue Liao, delivering a powerful punch straight for his throat!
Xue Liao was startled by this sudden change and hurriedly tilted his head to avoid it!
At the same time, he had no choice but to release his grip on Miao Ling.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the figure scooped Miao Ling up by the waist.
Carrying one old and one young, the mysterious figure leaped into the interior of the Chen family residence without looking back...
"Master?"
Only when the mysterious figure landed and lifted his face did Shun Lao and Miao Ling recognize him—it was none other than their own master, Chen Shen.
It turned out that his previous outfit, which had been burned with numerous large and small holes by the snake's tail energy during the absorption, was so damaged that he had to discard it.
He then bought a set of clothes from a inn's attendant, which was why he wasn't recognized at first.
"Master, you're back. What about Xue Liao...?"
Before Shun Lao could finish his sentence, Chen Shen quietly interrupted him: "Shh! I know what happened. Leave the rest to me. You two just wait and watch the show."
...
Meanwhile, outside the Chen family compound, the Xue family and the onlookers were stunned for a moment before they came to their senses.
Earlier, Chen Shen had used his flash step skill to rush into the crowd.
Then, relying on his tenfold muscle burst strength, he executed the rescue with speed and precision, so no one recognized his true identity.
Just as he was about to take the old and the young, someone suddenly snatched the prey from his mouth—wasn't this like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth?
If this had happened in the East or Central Districts of Nine Dragons City, it might have been acceptable, but it happened in the West District, which was mostly inhabited by commoners!
Here, it was always the young master of the Xue family who took things from others, and no one dared to snatch food from his mouth!
The more Xue Liao thought about it, the angrier he became: "Damn it, daring to ambush me? Daring to snatch the woman I fancy? And even daring to climb into the residence I've already claimed? Outrageous, outrageous!"
"A moment ago, when that madman rescued the people, there was not a trace of mystic energy around him. I guess he's just a body cultivator, a brute with some physical strength!" a servant suggested.
"Why don't we break in, kill that blind fool, and then the girl and the entire compound will still belong to you, Master!" the servant continued.
Xue Liao smiled sinisterly: "Right! A brute with no mystic energy is nothing to fear! Follow me in!"
Damn it, I am a proud Four-star Mystic Disciple, and you, a mere body cultivator relying on physical strength, I'll teach you a lesson in no time!
Moreover, although body cultivators have a slightly higher status than commoners, they cannot cultivate mystic energy and are not considered cultivators. Killing them wouldn't cause much trouble...
With this thought, Xue Liao had no more reservations and kicked the door open with a loud bang!
An ordinary wooden gate couldn't withstand the might of a Four-star Mystic Disciple and burst open!
Xue Liao then saw Miao Ling and Shun Lao, who were already untied and sitting on a stone bench in the garden.
Shun Lao's wounds were covered with herbal medicine, which Chen Shen had bought from the market on the way. He didn't expect to use them so soon.
As for Chen Shen himself, he stood with his back to the entrance, hands behind his back, looking extremely cool.
He said sternly, "Get out! I don't welcome beasts here!"
Seeing this, Xue Liao laughed in rage: "Ha ha ha, you fool, you really think you're the master of this compound? Attack, beat him to death with sticks!"
At his command, four servants, each holding a long stick, rushed forward with ferocity.
They were all Two-star Mystic Disciples and had often bullied the commoners in this area.
Now, their evil nature was unleashed, and they looked like rabid wolves, exuding a tyrannical aura. Many onlookers trembled and whispered:
"It's over, over. This mysterious hero challenged the young master of the Xue family, he's dead for sure!"
"Ah! Miao Ling is a good girl. She often helps me with my cart when I sell vegetables."
"Shun Lao is also a good man. One day, my granddaughter was playing on the street when a carriage suddenly rushed out! If it weren't for him pulling her away in time, the consequences would have been..."
...
The neighbors, though they thought well of the old and the young, were ordinary people without mystic energy cultivation. They had families to think about and dared not offend Xue Liao and his lackeys.
They felt sorry and cursed, but there was nothing they could do.
The strong rule, the weak are ants, and that's how cruel it is.
Four people, four thick wooden sticks, infused with mystic energy, lunged at Chen Shen's back like four giant pythons!
But the young man didn't move an inch, not even turning his head, his hands still behind his back, as steady as a mountain.
"Still not turning? Trying to show off? Fine, I'll smash your head and see how you show off then?"
The four Xue family servants felt insulted and struck with even more force, the thick wooden sticks landing on his head—
"Crack!"
The next moment, the sticks broke.
But the figure remained as straight as a pine tree!
"Heh... Tenfold physical strength is indeed formidable, enduring a Two-star Mystic Disciple's full-force strike without flinching." Chen Shen was delighted inside!
He didn't move to show off, but to test the limits of his tenfold physical strength.
It seemed to be quite impressive!
"How is this possible?" the four were shocked!
The onlookers were also wide-eyed, stunned!
At this moment, Chen Shen turned sharply: "You're done, now it's my turn, right?"
As he spoke, a flurry of punches and kicks, like bullets from a gun, rained down on the four villains—
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."
This round of punches and kicks was fueled by Chen Shen's anger!
Shun Lao, a man in his sixties, had been brutally mistreated!
Miao Ling, a young girl, had been tied up and was about to be violated!
All this was due to Xue Liao and his four henchmen, and this grudge must be avenged!
In his rage, Chen Shen's mystic energy surged!
Combined with the formidable physical strength he gained from swallowing the white tail of the flower-sculpted snake, the叠加 of these strengths was overwhelming. In just two breaths, the four previously arrogant Xue family servants were beaten to a pulp.
They lay like piles of boneless meat, covered in footprints and fist marks, with broken bones and torn flesh...
In just two breaths, the four Two-star Mystic Disciples were killed on the spot!
The scene could only be described with four words—simple and brutal!
