Chapter 239: The Power Behind
Due to the unexpected turn of events in the arena, the opponents were all momentarily stunned, staring dumbfounded at Su Chen's thin frame, pausing their attack and creating some distance from the two Shadow Guards.
They couldn't believe that a person whose Dantian had been shattered just over a year ago had now achieved SS-level strength!
This guy's cultivation speed was incredibly fast! It was unheard of!
The two Shadow Guards also took this opportunity to rest briefly. They weren't foolish enough to counterattack immediately, knowing the enemy would be on guard.
Su Chen, however, showed no expression, as if killing a Golden Knight was a very normal thing for him.
He walked over to the two Shadow Guards and handed them two white pills:
"Eat this."
The Shadow Guards, without a moment's hesitation, took the pills and swallowed them.
No sooner had they consumed the pills than their eyes began to redden, and their abdomens felt as if they were aflame.
But soon, they felt their depleted True Yuan slowly replenishing, quickly reaching a saturated state!
In astonishment, they looked at Su Chen. The pill was miraculous!
This was actually one of Su Chen's preparations. At the time, he had taken only two things with him: a dagger and these pills.
After all, he wasn't sure what kind of fierce battle he was going to face, so it was better to be prepared.
The pills weren't his, but belonged to his old ghost master, totaling only five, extremely precious!
These were given to him by his master before he came to Jianghai, in case he encountered any dangerous situations again.
Of course, these pills were only useful for those in the Qi Refinement Realm.
The adversaries noticed the peculiar state of the two Shadow Guards. Initially nearing depletion of True Yuan, they now seemed to have suddenly regained their vitality!
Their faces grew stern as their advantage had diminished. Their side only surpassed the opponent by one S-level expert, but in this situation, that hardly counted as an advantage anymore.
"I told you, today you will leave your lives here!"
Su Chen repeated his prior statement, with the same tone as before.
"We'll see if you have the skill for that," retorted a Golden Knight, undervalued as his side's strength was not inferior to the opponent's.
They all knew that the Golden Knight who had been killed had been caught off-guard by Su Chen's SS-level prowess and had been too careless.
Now that they were on alert, it was impossible for Su Chen to launch a surprise attack again.
"Then let us battle!"
Su Chen declared, his aura instantly climbing to its peak, leaving nothing in reserve!
At that moment, he was like a War God descending to earth, his visage exuding a sovereign's commanding presence!
As his words fell, the two Shadow Guards also stood closely with him, their expressions excited!
The two Golden Knights and two Silver Knights also gathered together, ready for the final showdown!
Soon, the group was locked in fierce combat, the wind howling, the space around them tearing, the air temperature soaring, with True Yuan ceaselessly being released.
If an ordinary person were watching nearby, they couldn't make out a single person, only catching glimpses of figures flashing.
Before long, a figure was flung out of the fray and fell into the sea; it was a Silver Knight, clearly the first casualty.
Then, a flash of silver light streaked by and a burst of blood mist sprayed out; another Silver Knight fell on the deck.
The two Golden Knights' expressions grew graver by the moment, not expecting the opponent's combat power to be so formidable!
Especially the so-called Netherworld King, whose displayed strength subtly seemed to surpass the usual SS-level experts, leaving them not only shocked but also somewhat baffled.
No wonder the High Priest insisted on eliminating this man, he truly is a monster!
However, Su Chen had no particular thoughts, he did not care who his opponent was, now he only wanted to do one thing, that was to kill!
At that moment, a Golden Knight's leg swept towards Su Chen again with a gust of wind. This time, Su Chen did not block but instead flicked his wrist, releasing three silver needles.
Seeing the silver needles coming, the Golden Knight hurriedly raised his leg to dodge. Just then, Su Chen, like a cheetah, sprang forward, his arm fully extended, the dagger in his hand emanating a chilling cold light!
With this strike, Su Chen mobilized all his True Yuan, reaching a terrifying speed!
"Puchi!"
The dagger suddenly plunged into the opponent's taut leg muscles. Su Chen didn't pull out the dagger but let go immediately, his hand transforming into a knife, slashing at his thigh.
"Ah~"
The Golden Knight couldn't help but grunt, his body stiffening.
Strike while the enemy is sick, take his life!
At the same time, Su Chen had already turned sideways, moving to his side, and slapped towards his heart!
The Golden Knight's body was still twisting, so he couldn't dodge in time, and Su Chen firmly struck him!
Then his body flew backward, crashing into the cabin wall, his heart area deeply sunken in!
At this moment, only one Golden Knight was left in the area. He also began to feel profound fear. Although he was still resisting the attacks from two Shadow Guards, his momentum was growing weaker.
When he saw Su Chen approaching, he became even more terrified!
Su Chen did not move but coldly said,
"If you tell me your identity, I can spare your life!"
For Su Chen, he knew absolutely nothing about the power behind Tang Gang, and this feeling of being watched from behind was very uncomfortable!
He still liked the feeling of having everything under control, and considering the current situation, the strength of this power was definitely beyond his imagination!
Otherwise, why would there always be several SS-rank experts involved?
Could it be that SS-grade experts have become so worthless now?
"Hmph, don't even think about it. I'll tell you, offending us, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will surely die!"
Upon mentioning his identity, the Golden Knight's face displayed an arrogant look, fighting while saying,
"The only thing I can tell you is, our existence is beyond your imagination, and your Nether Temple is nothing but child's play in our eyes!"
"Oh, really? Your life is now in my hands!"
Su Chen said indifferently.
"So what? Believe me, even if I die, you'll be joining me soon!"
Su Chen also saw that this Golden Knight seemed to have blind confidence and loyalty to his organization. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
Just as Su Chen was preparing to capture him and extract some information through acupuncture, unexpectedly, the guy suddenly collapsed.
This indeed baffled Su Chen and two of the Shadow Guards. Shadow Guard Number Four hurried over to check.
"High purity potassium cyanide!"
The Golden Knight obviously knew he was no match for the others and to prevent being tortured into revealing information, chose to end his life instead.
"It seems Tang Gang's backing is indeed not trivial!"
Su Chen muttered...
