Chapter 552 - Falling into the Trap



Chapter 552 Falling into the Trap

When the seven women in midair saw that the group was about to leave with Ren Yuntian, the leading woman bellowed. The seven of them once again propped up another blood-red killing formation to envelop the group. Xiao Chen’s expression turned cold. “You’re overestimating yourself! Since that’s the case, I’ll capture you all alive tonight and make you spill out everything!”

At the end of his words, the Dragon’s Wrath was instantly activated. With a loud boom, the dragon shadow dispersed the Blood Killing Formation of Seven-Night Queens. Xiao Chen then looked at Yang Qing and the others and said, “You go first. I’ll hold them back!”

Yang Qing and the others did not say much. They immediately took the unkempt man and went to the distance with Chu Qi. Seeing this, the Seven-Night Queens immediately went to chase after them. Xiao Chen shouted coldly, “Stay here!” Then he stretched out his hand and used the supernatural power of the Nirvana Realm. A huge black hand seal suddenly appeared in midair and pressed toward the seven women as if it had locked up the nearby space.

“Boom!” The noise was like thunder. The buildings nearby were turned into ash under the palm force, and a huge palm print was printed on the ground. However, the seven women had already dodged in an instant. The seven women shouted delicately and attacked Xiao Chen from all directions again.

The cold lights came one after another. The speed of the seven women was extremely fast. In a short time, Xiao Chen could not run his True Energy every time, so he had to dodge every deadly attack quickly.

If they were seven ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivators, Xiao Chen would not even have to feel so strenuous. The cultivation of these seven women was obviously not yet in the Nirvana Realm, but he was already having some difficulty. It was obvious that the origins of these seven women were unusual, just like the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon.

In all fairness, even if Xiao Chen were to face the 12 people from the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon, he might not necessarily win. In this world, it was not definite that one with higher cultivation could instantly kill someone of lower cultivation.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” Several beams of light slashed at Xiao Chen. The seven women had surrounded him from all directions. At the same time, they were constantly changing positions. Even if Xiao Chen was powerful, it was not certain that he could hit them accurately every time.

Xiao Chen avoided the attack of the cold blades. When he was about to get up, a woman suddenly threw out a chain to wrap him. At the end of the chain, there was a sharp knife covered with a chilling radiance. If it hit, even bones would be broken.

Xiao Chen turned his head to avoid the chain’s attack, and at the same time, he grabbed the chain with his hand and pulled it hard. The woman opposite him was not as strong as him. She was pulled over by him before the blow hit him.

Xiao Chen grabbed the chain with his right hand and grabbed the woman’s neck with his left hand. However, it was in the dark, and everything happened in an instant, and he seemed to have grabbed something soft. Following that, the woman let out a muffled groan. It was probably the second time that the same bawdy in front of her grabbed the wrong place.

However, as he was in a hurry, Xiao Chen did not care about where he caught her. He only knew that he did not grab her neck. He exerted his strength in his palm and sent the woman flying.

With a muffled groan, the woman bent her body and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, before she flew more than a feet away, Xiao Chen waved the chain in his right hand and wrapped it around her body. Then, he pulled her back. This time, he did not grab the wrong place.

“Come with me!” Xiao Chen shouted fiercely as he grabbed her neck. He knew that the true experts from the Black Horn were coming soon. It was not a good time to continue fighting with these seven people.

All of a sudden, a horn sounded in the distance. Then, it was dark in the sky, and something was approaching quickly. Xiao Chen’s heart sank. He immediately loosened the woman’s neck and shook off the attack of several women in front of him. He then wrapped several circles around the woman before pulling her to fly in the direction of Yang Qing and the others.

After an incense stick’s worth of time, Xiao Chen landed in a pitch-black forest. Yang Qing and the others had only been here for a short while before they immediately propped up a ball of light. Then, Yang Qing looked at the item that he was holding behind him in a daze. He asked puzzledly, “Brother Xiao, what did you bring back?”

“The person who tried to assassinate me the last time. I caught one of them. Later, I’ll ask who ordered these seven people!” After saying this, Xiao Chen pulled the chain hard, and there was no tenderness. He shouted coldly, “Come up!”

However, when the chain was pulled up, the woman wrapped around the chain was long gone. She had turned into a puppet that was about the same size as her. Even the puppet was still wearing clothes, just like the woman’s clothes. When the woman used a magic spell to escape, her body was probably naked.

“This… bastard! The escaping skill of a golden cicada!” Xiao Chen threw the chain down angrily and then looked at the unkempt man next to Chu Qi. Fortunately, Ren Yuntian was still there. He took a breath and asked, “Where is Ren Tianxing?”

Yang Qing and the others also shifted their gazes over at this time. They had just arrived in the forest, so they did not have the time to ask Ren Yuntian as they were treating themselves.

A moment later, the unkempt man raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, “Who… who is Ren Tianxing?”

“What did you say?!” Xiao Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold, as if he wanted to kill someone. The man with the fluffy hair was so frightened that he immediately sat down. Then, Xiao Chen looked at Chu Qi and said in a sharp voice, “What’s going on?!”

After following him for so long, Chu Qi had never seen Xiao Chen’s expression this ugly. Her gaze turned cold and the Full Moon Blade was instantly placed against the man’s neck. The man was so frightened that his entire body was shaking. “Don’t… Don’t kill me…”

Xiao Chen’s expression was extremely ugly. He quickly walked over and lifted him by the collar. He said sternly, “Who are you? If you’re not Ren Yuntian, I’ll kill you right now!”

“Don’t… Don’t kill me…” The unkempt man was so frightened that his entire body was shaking. Incoherently, he said, “I was captured by them three days ago. I… I don’t know what’s happening either…”

Hearing this, Yang Qing sat down feebly. “We’ve been busy all night, and ended up bringing back a fake one.”

Then, Xiao Chen also understood what was going on. It was not that Chu Qi made a mistake, but he had been tricked by Black Horn from the beginning. At the moment, he threw the unkempt man away. He sneered and said, “What a Black Horn. It seems that I have underestimated you. I was just thinking that how things could progress so smoothly…”

Yang Qing shook his head and said, “Not only did we not expect that, but the other person who wanted to find Master Ren must also have not expected that. The Black Horn spies are all over the place. I’m afraid that they already knew that someone wanted to rescue Ren Yuntian, so they transferred the real Ren Yuntian three days ago. They must have wanted to kill all of us tonight at one go…”

Everyone fell into silence. The unkempt man on the ground was so frightened that he could not help but tremble. He said in a trembling voice, “I… can I leave now?”

Xiao Chen waved him off. “Go…”

“T-thank you!” The unkempt man said in a trembling voice. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Xiao Chen suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He bellowed, “Watch out!” In the blink of an eye, he cast out a Barrier to protect the rest.

“Boom!” There was a loud noise, and the unkempt man exploded. The whole woods was blown up in an instant. Even if there was a barrier against it, everyone was blown out in an instant.

Yang Qing and the others were already injured. Now that they were hit by such a great force, they immediately coughed up blood. Chu Qi also spewed out a mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen was closest to the unkempt man. At this moment, he also felt as if his internal organs were going to be torn apart. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Bastard Black Horn, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Xiao Chen pressed a hand to his chest and looked at the others. If he had not detected it in time, Yang Qing, Chu Qi, and the rest would have died here tonight. This Black Horn weapon was indeed terrifying. Fortunately, this person’s body was not with poison.

“I’m fine. Brother Xiao, what about you…” Yang Qing coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. It was a little difficult for him to speak. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

Xiao Chen walked over and looked at Chu Qi. “Did you ask the Bloodmoon Hall members about anything?”

Chu Qi looked up at him and said, “They said they had their last wishes.”

“What?” Xiao Chen was stunned. It was only now that he remembered that when he had asked her to rescue Ren Yuntian earlier, he jokingly said something extra, but she had taken his words seriously.

Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head. He felt helpless, but he could not blame Chu Qi for this. If it were Qingluan, she would have made things clear from beginning to the end, and whatever happened just now would never occur. But for Chu Qi, probably only after he gave a clear order would she do as she was told.

After a while, Xiao Chen calmed down and said to her again, “It’s okay. I didn’t blame you. Don’t take it to heart.”

“Oh.” Chu Qi moved her lips and uttered only one word.

The few of them stayed on the same spot and adjusted their breathing. One of the men beside Yang Qing asked, “What should we do next?”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. What should he do next? It would be even more difficult to save Ren Yuntian now. It was no wonder that the Cloud Mist Academy was unwilling to have conflicts with Black Horn. This Black Horn did not act like the well-known sects in the Violet Manor.

When he left, Shui Yue repeatedly reminded him not to go to Black-horn City. Presumably, if something happened to the disciples of the Cloud Mist Academy in Black-horn City, the Cloud Mist Academy would not show up. But they had already reached this point. Was he going to give up?

Yang Qing looked at Chu Qi and his voice was a little weak. He asked, “Miss Chu Qi, did you see the other three people?”

Chu Qi shook her head and said, “No.”

Yang Qing frowned and muttered to himself, “That’s weird. They didn’t respond when they sent the signal. Where did these three guys go?”

The person next to him said, “Could it be that he slipped somewhere else to drink?”

“That won’t happen. Tonight, there is a very important matter. I’m sure they all know that and won’t act recklessly.”

Just as the few of them were about to descend into silence, a man’s voice slowly sounded from the darkness, “Some people have died…”

“Who is it?!” Xiao Chen immediately became alert. With his Divine Sense, he did not detect anyone approaching. But now, he still could not judge the position of the person. It seemed that he could not detect the person’s aura at all. It was as if the person did not exist.

“But he is still alive…” The strange man’s voice slowly sounded again. And it got closer and closer, and it was a little creepy. At this moment, Yang Qing’s face changed, and his originally pale face suddenly became a little red.

“Some people are still alive, but he’s already dead…” The man’s voice in the darkness was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a cold wind blew around them. It sounded like a ghost’s cry. A chill Negative Qi gradually came over them.

Yang Qing’s face had completely changed. He was still very weak, but at this moment, his face was flushed and blue veins popped on his forehead. His eyes suddenly became very scary and full of strong hatred.

“It’s him… it’s him!”
