NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1234: Disadvantage
"Alright, then let me reveal the truth to you before you die!"
The man in the middle said:
"I am Lei Yang, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Thunder Sect!"
"Heavenly Thunder Sect?"
Su Chen was slightly taken aback, thought for a moment, and immediately remembered that he had once killed Lei Gang, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Thunder Sect's Sect Master!
But it seemed the Heavenly Thunder Sect had not sent anyone after they dispatched someone previously, and now they suddenly appeared again!
"Now do you understand?"
Lei Yang stared coldly at Su Chen.
"I understand!"
Su Chen responded with a casual smile, appearing unconcerned.
"Since you understand, then prepare to die!"
The murderous intent emanated from Lei Yang in an instant.
He had come to participate in the auction event happening in a few days, arriving early to personally deal with the one who killed Lei Gang to avenge him!
Because they had sent an Elder before who then disappeared, he was being a bit more cautious this time!
Indeed, accompanying him were two other Elders to ensure nothing would go wrong!
In truth, he believed he alone would be enough, as his cultivation had reached the Minor Perfection of the Kaiyuan Realm!
Originally intending to head to Su Chen's manor, he unexpectedly met him halfway!
Given the circumstances, it was an opportune moment!
"That depends if you have the skills!"
Su Chen sneered.
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Yang was instantly enraged, and he and the two elders of the Heavenly Thunder Sect moved simultaneously, like a flash of lightning!
While Su Chen intended to capture the leader first, Lei Yang cunningly lagged slightly behind, allowing the two elders to attack first!
Su Chen couldn't quite determine if he was being cautious or simply underestimating him!
If it were the latter, it would be easier to manage; if the former, there might be trouble!
Regardless, he had to deal with the other two first!
As one of them on the left threw a punch at him, Su Chen had already anticipated this, deftly sidestepping!
At the same time, he struck out with his palm towards the person on the right!
Although Lei Yang had warned them not to underestimate Su Chen, this man didn't take Su Chen seriously, seeing that his cultivation hadn't even reached the Kaiyuan Realm!
Moreover, the young man audaciously sought to engage him in a one-on-one clash, prompting him to amplify his True Yuan, rolling powerfully!
He seemed to foresee the youth being sent flying in the next moment, and a cold smile spread across his lips!
"Bang!"
With the clash of palms, turbulence roared through the air, energy scattered everywhere, and indeed one figure was sent flying!
However, contrary to his expectations, it was him that was thrown back!
After soaring for more than ten meters, he landed on the ground nearby...
The left elder saw Su Chen dodge his attack and immediately threw another punch as Su Chen struck the other elder away!
But this was within Su Chen's predictions; he knew if the opponent's punch missed, they would immediately continue their attack!
Sensing the airflow from behind, he instinctively bent, evading the punch aimed at his head!
In that instant, he spun on his tiptoes, turning his body 180 degrees!
Simultaneously, he threw a punch directly at the opponent's abdomen!
"Boom!"
A dull thud echoed, and the elder flew backward like a severed kite...
All of this happened in a flash!
So much so that Lei Yang didn't immediately comprehend what had occurred!
Su Chen wouldn't miss this opportunity, launching another punch!
As it neared him, Lei Yang suddenly awoke to the danger, breaking into a cold sweat, instinctively darting backward to narrowly escape Su Chen's blow!
Having gained some relative distance, he began to regain clarity!
Facing the young man before him, his face registered shock!
Su Chen's strength had greatly exceeded his expectations, the ease with which he dispatched two late-stage Kaiyuan martial artists was astonishing!
To achieve this feat at such a young age meant he was among the top three or four chosen talents at least!
But how could a mere secular world youth possess such power?
At this thought, Lei Yang considered that perhaps this young man had also reached the Minor Perfection of the Kaiyuan Realm like himself!
Lei Yang realized that since a grudge had already formed with the youth, he must resolve it quickly!
Fortunately, though they hadn't clashed directly yet, Lei Yang identified the opponent's weakness: speed!
Even while dodging in panic, he managed to evade safely, indicating speed was indeed the youth's weakness — at least a major flaw!
Understanding this filled Lei Yang with renewed confidence!
Once regaining composure, Lei Yang attacked again, but this time he adopted hit-and-run tactics, slippery like an eel!
Su Chen sighed inwardly upon seeing his tactic!
He knew the opponent had discovered his major weakness: speed!
Excluding speed, Su Chen was confident in his strength and even dared to challenge the Solidifying Pill Realm!
Facing late-stage Kaiyuan opponents, he relied on his strong True Yuan comparable to theirs, coupled with his battle expertise and sharp predictive ability to offset speed differences!
Yet, against the Minor Perfection of the Kaiyuan Realm, this disparity became noticeable!
At least on the surface, unless the opponent faced him head-on, they were nearly unassailable!
Su Chen's earlier remark about trouble if cautious referred to this!
Previously, in F Country, his victory against two Minor Perfection Kaiyuan was due to the closed car space leaving no room to escape!
But now, in the vast space, speed advantage was evident!
Though factual, Su Chen could only accept it and seek solutions!
Complaining now was neither meaningful nor helpful!
Consequently, Su Chen dared not reveal the Cangyue Ring nor the Dragon-Slaying Sword without absolute certainty!
He wasn't unsure of the Dragon-Slaying Sword's power, but of his speed, knowing the opponent was much faster and might evade!
The Cangyue Ring was less risky, but exposing the Dragon-Slaying Sword without defeating the opponent would incite their greed!
