“Teach him?! How dare you teach him! You’ve been here for such a long time already. Don’t you know the rules? Who gave you permission to teach that trash?!”
Along with those shouts had been a familiar voice screaming in pain. The muffled thuds of a fist having hit one’s body kept coming, causing Chu Chen’s expression to have changed.
It had been Senior Brother Tang!
Chu Chen had put down the jade bucket and immediately dashed in the direction of the sound.
The sounds came from a different herb field. Chu Chen had no idea which elder it belonged to, but when he saw what had been happening before him, the rage came raging within his soul.
Before his eyes, three young disciples had surrounded a scrawny figure while continuously having rained punches and kicks on him. The figure that was being hit had been the honest and helpful Senior Brother Tang!
“Stop!”
Chu Chen bellowed with rage. In an instant, it sounded as though a thunder had broken out in that region, having stopped those disciples in their tracks.
“I was wondering who that might be. It’s the infamous trash, Chu Chen!”
A gloomy faced disciple snorted.
Chu Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recognized that disciple. It had been the one who suggested to have arrested him and sent him to Hidden Frost Valley for interrogation.
“What are you doing?” Chu Chen’s gave them an icy stare. His face was one of bottled up rage.
“What about it? I should be the one asking what you’re up to. What are you doing here instead of staying in Elder Ling Xin’s field? This field belongs to Elder Ling Yan. Could it be that you’re here to steal spiritual herbs?” The gloomy-looking disciple waved his hand and the two others behind him came up to Chu Chen. Their sombre expression carried a hint of viciousness.
“Junior Brother Chu, go away! You’re not their match—” Senior Brother Tang, who was on the ground, shouted urgently.
“Don’t worry. It’s just a few stray dogs. They won’t be of much trouble,” Chu Chen replied calmly.
“You b*stard! What did you say?!” Hearing Chu Chen’s words, the sombre-looking disciples had immediately lost it. With a shout, a spiritual energy immediately surged through their body as they lunged at him.
Chu Chen shook his head. At that moment, there had been no point to have continued their banter. He narrowed his eyes slightly. By then, he had tried to limit his use of spiritual consciousness in a fight.
Through the use of his spiritual consciousness in his previous fights, Chu Chen had a newfound understanding and revelation toward fighting. Even without having spread out his spiritual consciousness, he had a specific rhythm of his own. Although these disciples had all been in the Spiritual Droplets Stage, they had yet to have reached the sixth level, not having been enough for Chu Chen to take them seriously.
Dash!
The next instant, an ear piercing explosion sounded. In the blink of an eye, a blur greyish figure shot out like lightning. In just that instant, as the figure had disappeared, the three disciples felt as though they had their heads rammed by a rampaging beast. In the pitiful shrieks, they flew away like kites with their strings cut. The air around them had suddenly been filled with blood spraying everywhere.
Fast. That had just been too fast. At the great completion stage of the Spiritual Mist Stage, Chu Chen’s physical body had been enhanced significantly. Based on his previous fighting experience, he had easily noticed the loophole of the Qi force those three had set up. With that quick dash, he instantly blew them away. If it had not been for him to have controlled himself from going all out on them, they might have been dead or crippled.
“Ah! My eyes!”
“Ouch! My legs!”
“Monster! Just what kind of monster is he! When did he hit my arm!?”
Cries of pain rang out in the air. The moment they landed, they had all lost their ability to defend themselves as they rolled around in pain. Within the tone of their groans had been a strong sense of disbelief.
Nearby, Senior Brother Tang witnessed the entire scene and rubbed his eyes, unable to have believed what just happened.
‘Wasn’t Junior Brother Chu the legendary trash? How is he that amazing?! He managed to obtain a complete victory while fighting one against three?!’
‘This is no rookie. That’s a fighting machine!’
“My dear senior brothers, why are you so clumsy as to trip and fall while walking?” Chu Chen walked up to them with a smile on his face, looking down at them.
While he had a warm and gentle smile on his face, his eyes had been unmistakably cold, having sent shivers down their spines. “Senior Brothers, what did you say earlier? I don’t think I heard you clearly.”
Seeing the killing intent in Chu Chen’s gaze, the three shuddered at the same time. That had been a killing intent aimed directly at their soul, as though it could have shattered their souls into pieces in an instant.
Shrouded in the killing intent, he seemingly turned into an ancient beast.
The gloomy-faced disciple almost cried. After having bullied many newcomers, he did not expect to have run into a tough one like this.
He did not expect to have risked dying when he bullied a useless disciple in the Spiritual Mist Stage. ‘How was that useless? That’s obviously a monster with such monstrous strength. Could it be that he’s using me as a test subject after hiding his power for three years?’
Just with the thought of that, the three of them cried. Although Chu Chen would have had to face punishment from the sect for killing them, who would have cared about the punishment when they had no longer been alive?
“Junior Brother Chu, we’re sorry. Please forgive us.”
“Junior Brother Chu, please be generous and let this slide.”
“S-s-senior Brother Chu, please show us mercy!”
Looking at the three crying disciples, Chu Chen warned coldly, “If I see any of you disrespecting Senior Brother Tang, you know what’s in store for you.”
The three traumatized disciples nodded repeatedly.
“Go kowtow to Senior Brother Tang as an apology and get lost.”
Having said that, the three disciples’ expression turned ugly. Even Senior Brother Tang waved his hand. “That won’t do, that won’t do. We’re all disciple brothers. No need for such formalities.”
Senior Brother Tang had obviously been the punching bag in the herb garden and was used to the bullying. He had been so generous and easy going. Moreover, he had also been a coward. All the while, he had been the one who apologized to others and never the other way round.
“Quickly.”
Chu Chen urged coldly while he emanated the killing intent of an ancient beast. The three disciples were instantly intimidated, clambering up to Senior Brother Tang and kowtowing to him, making thudding sounds as their head hit the ground.
“Senior Brother Tang, we’re sorry.”
“Senior Brother Tang, please spare our lives.”
“Senior Brother Tang, please have Senior Brother Chu show mercy.”
The three of them were kowtowing sincerely out of fear, to the point that they bled from their foreheads. Senior Brother Tang’s honest-looking face had been flushed red and he waved his hands at them. “I can’t accept this.”
“Alright, get lost.”
Chu Chen waved them away and the three immediately held onto each other for support. Without having had a care about their injuries, they bolted away.
“Senior Brother Tang, if they dare bully you in the future, just let me know.”
Before Senior Brother Tang could have responded, Chu Chen patted him on the shoulder and departed with his watering equipment.
Senior Brother Tang had still been dazed from the shock that Chu Chen had brought him. He stood there wide-eyed and mouth agape, unable to have comprehended how Chu Chen, a disciple in the Spiritual Mist Stage, managed to be that powerful.
