Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 129: Great Grandmaster, Martial Saint of the Human Realm!
Jiang Tianquan took a deep breath. "Then we can’t just sit here and wait to die, can we?"
Watanabe Ichiba’s expression grew colder. "They forced my hand. Since they want to play... I’ll play with them to the very end!"
Jiang Tianquan swallowed hard. "What are you planning to do?"
"What am I planning?" Watanabe Ichiba sneered. "It wasn’t easy for the Watanabe Clan to get this thing. How could we give it up so easily? No one can stop us! The Watanabe Clan has ten Shikigami guarding below. Those special forces are mere ants before them!"
Jiang Tianquan’s eyelids twitched wildly. "In that case, won’t our involvement be exposed too?"
Watanabe Ichiba smiled sinisterly. "Our Watanabe Clan’s Shikigami specialize in handling all kinds of dirty work. They have no identity information, so who could have evidence that they belong to us? Today, everyone who enters the passage below will die in a fire... You wouldn’t want the Jiang Family to be implicated, would you?"
Jiang Tianquan remained silent for a few seconds as a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes. "Are you sure?"
Watanabe Ichiba smirked. "At worst, we can still escape unscathed."
「Beneath the Alice.」
Inside the narrow passage, Chen Xiao moved forward, trying to contact Xu Yanran, but she wasn’t responding at all. He grew worried. Could something have happened to her?
He quickened his pace, leaving the special forces far behind him.
The space ahead opened up, and the thick smoke gradually dissipated. As he passed a certain spot, he found the fire had already been extinguished, and his heart lurched.
Xu Yanran must have set the fire to lure the martial artists over. Now, the fire has been put out. That means those martial artists have returned... If Xu Yanran runs into them, she’ll be in grave danger!
His figure shot forward like an arrow, delving deeper into the ship. The Alice was massive, its corridors twisting and turning like a maze with numerous dead ends. Chen Xiao could only proceed one step at a time.
Meanwhile, Xu Yanran had already found her way to the very end of the passage.
In front of her was a large, indestructible-looking metal gate forged from a special alloy. In its center was a single keyhole.
I spent a lot of time finding this place. Those people have put out the fire and will be back soon. I need to hurry.
She took out a bunch of keys and finally found a golden one among them.
This must be it.
Just as she was about to insert the key, she heard footsteps behind her.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! Ten ghost-like figures instantly appeared behind her.
"So, a little rat did sneak in! Hah! We’re well aware of you People of Shenzhou and your little tricks, like luring the tiger from its mountain. Did you really think you could deceive us?"
The speaker was a gray-haired old man, his gaze as sharp and sinister as a blade as he approached Xu Yanran.
Xu Yanran’s face turned pale. She could feel how formidable these people were! Every one of them was stronger than a Grandmaster! This level of combat power would be considered the elite of the elite, even within the Dragon Soul! The aura radiating from two or three of them, in particular, made her heart pound with fear!
"Kill her," the gray-clothed elder commanded coldly in the language of Yang Country.
In the blink of an eye, two middle-aged men rushed toward Xu Yanran. Both were at the Early Grandmaster Stage.
However, Xu Yanran had learned much from Ye Que. As the two men attacked her from both sides, they were stunned to find they couldn’t defeat her. In fact, she even knocked one of them back two steps!
I didn’t expect to have improved so much! My Inner Strength isn’t much denser than before, but the energy circulation methods and combat techniques that guy taught me have given my overall combat power a qualitative leap!
Seeing that the two couldn’t take down Xu Yanran in their pincer attack, the gray-clothed elder’s eyes turned icy. "More of you, attack!"
Two more Yang Country Martial Artists charged forward.
In an instant, Xu Yanran was overwhelmed and sent flying, blood spurting from her mouth.
"Go to hell," a mustachioed Yang Country Warrior growled, drawing the long knife from his waist. He was about to cleave Xu Yanran in half, and the fierce glint of the descending blade made her feel an overwhelming, suffocating pressure!
She closed her eyes in despair...
CLANG!
A sharp sound rang out.
She realized the steel knife hadn’t fallen on her. In astonishment, she opened her eyes and saw Chen Xiao standing behind them, his expression indifferent. The steel knife was knocked from the hand of the man who had just tried to slash at her. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Chen Xiao was just standing there calmly, yet he gave off an unshakable presence, as steady as Mount Tai. His entire body radiated a sharp, murderous aura that filled the confined space.
"Who are you?!"
All ten Shikigami sensed the danger, their eyes locking onto the young man who had suddenly appeared.
"The one who’s here to take your wretched lives," Chen Xiao said coldly.
"Kill!"
Without hesitation, at the gray-clothed elder’s command, the others drew their steel knives and charged at Chen Xiao in unison. Countless blade flashes merged into a storm of steel that slashed toward him. For a moment, the furious vortex of light enveloped Chen Xiao, leaving him no room to dodge.
However, Chen Xiao simply waved his hand. A dragon’s cry thundered through the air as a multitude of draconic shadows surged forth in the dim space. The sound of shattering metal followed.
Several miserable screams echoed through the area.
The steel knives in the hands of the Yang Country Martial Artists were all shattered or sent flying. Three of the men clutched at their throats as blood gushed from the fresh slits.
The surviving Yang Country Martial Artists were flabbergasted. What kind of monster is this? He broke all of our attacks in a single move? That’s terrifying!
Before they could react, Chen Xiao’s Short Sword swung out again.
Two more Yang Country Martial Artists’ heads flew into the air as blood sprayed violently from their necks.
Like a cold and ruthless god of slaughter, Chen Xiao reaped their lives with ease.
Xu Yanran was also stunned, her eyes fixed on the Short Sword in Chen Xiao’s hand. Of course, she remembered. The person holding this very Short Sword was the one who saved her that day. Chen Yanzu... is Chen Xiao?
Her emotions became incredibly complex.
Seeing Chen Xiao’s unstoppable might, the remaining Yang Country Martial Artists felt a rising terror and began to retreat.
A glint of light appeared in the gray-clothed elder’s murky eyes. "Young man, you’re quite strong. But in front of this old man, you’re not yet qualified to be arrogant!"
He stepped forward, unleashing an overwhelmingly oppressive might.
Xu Yanran felt as if she could barely breathe. Is this... a super-strong expert at the Half-Step Grandmaster Level?
A Great Grandmaster is a realm above a Grandmaster. At that level, one can be called a Martial Saint of the Human Realm.
She grew nervous, her fists clenching tightly. Chen Xiao, be careful! This old man is incredibly strong...
