Chapter 979: Ambush
At the edge of the dense forest, a group of black-clad masked men lay hidden in the bushes, when suddenly someone ran over!
"Father, they've entered the forest!"
The person ran up to one of the masked men and said:
"But Mu Fan and his sister are with them!"
"Perfect, I was just worried about not having the opportunity to get rid of that woman!"
The masked man's eyes, visible outside the mask, flashed with a cunning light and said.
"Father, she's the Sacred Witch now!"
The man who had just arrived was startled at these words and quickly said.
"If she wasn't the Sacred Witch, I wouldn't act. If nothing happens to her, I can never become the Miao King!"
The masked man glanced at the man who had just arrived and said:
"Are you still reluctant to part with her? Let me tell you, a man with ambitions doesn't dwell on romantic feelings!"
"Yes, Father!"
The man just arrived quivered inside and quickly replied.
However, the other masked men showed expressions of fear upon hearing about dealing with the Sacred Witch!
Although they were loyal and wouldn't hesitate to give their lives, the thought of confronting the Sacred Witch instinctively frightened them!
"Don't worry, as long as we operate in complete secrecy, who will know it's us?"
That person noticed the thoughts of his comrades and said to them.
"Yes, Leader!"
Hearing these words, they felt a little more at ease!
.....
In the dense forest of Miaojiang, Su Chen and his companions walked leisurely, chatting and laughing along the way, not feeling bored or tired!
"Ling'er, once my wife is healed, stay in Yandu for a while and enjoy yourself."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Indeed, I've always been on the run before and never had a chance to have fun!"
Mu Fan looked at his sister with a playful smile and said.
"We'll see."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling'er blushed slightly and said softly.
As the three continued to walk, after two or three hours, they were about to reach the edge of the forest.
"Shh!"
At this moment, Su Chen's expression tightened, and he gestured to Mu Fan and his sister.
"What's wrong, Su Chen?"
Mu Fan hurriedly asked.
"Someone's here."
Su Chen sensed the surroundings and then calmly spoke:
"Come out, or do you want me to invite you out?"
With that, an immediate rustle sounded, and eight or nine figures appeared from the nearby bushes!
Mu Fan and his sister were startled, having never expected an ambush here!
"Shi Yuntian, is there any point in hiding like this?"
Su Chen looked at the people and smirked.
To him, other than Shi Yuntian and his son, no one else had the motive!
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so clever!"
The leading masked man tore off his mask; he was Shi Yuntian, the leader of the Red Hawk Tribe. Seeing as they were already exposed, there was no need to hide!
Besides, these people were as good as dead today, there was no reason to conceal further, it was just for caution before!
At this moment, the others also removed their masks, revealing their true faces!
"How dare you ambush the Sacred Witch? According to Miao law, that's a death sentence!"
Mu Fan, seeing these were members of the Cang Lang Tribe, couldn't help but shout.
"Death sentence? Heh, if you die silently here today, who will know it was us?"
Shi Yuntian sneered.
Hearing this, Mu Fan and his sister couldn't help but show fearful expressions on their faces!
"And you, kid, you ruined everything, I must kill you today!"
Shi Yuntian then looked at Su Chen and spat with hatred.
"That's because your intentions weren't pure. We even considered you good people, but all you did was for gaining our trust, to control us!"
Mu Fan snorted coldly:
"The pursuit we faced all along was due to the information you leaked, right?"
"Exactly!"
Now that things were out in the open, Shi Yuntian had no reason to hide, and he sneered:
"If you had remained safe and sound, how would you have felt indebted to me?!"
"Enough talk! It's time to send you on your way!"
Shi Yuntian said in a cold voice.
With those words, the group from the Cang Lang Tribe immediately attacked!
Of course, Shi Yuntian and his son stayed in place, believing their men were strong enough to tackle Su Chen!
They mainly remained wary of Mu Ling'er's attacks, as she had already cultivated the "Witch God Spirit Score" and received the Sacred Witch's legacy.
Su Chen stepped forward to shield Mu Fan and Mu Ling'er!
Among these people, besides Shi Yuntian, a meridian expansion expert of the Seventh and Eighth Layer, there was one at the Sixth Layer, one at the Fourth Layer, two at the Third Layer, three at the Second Layer, and one at the First Layer!
It could be said that nearly all of the Red Hawk Tribe's meridian expansion masters were present, and Shi Yuntian clearly made a desperate move!
However, this level of strength was already quite formidable, considering the Red Hawk Tribe was merely a tribe in Miaojiang, albeit the strongest one!
For Su Chen, facing these people wasn't overwhelmingly stressful, but he was only concerned about having to look after Mu Fan and his sister!
"Bang! Bang!"
Facing these charging opponents, Su Chen quickly punched two of them flying, one was a Meridian Expansion Third Layer and the other a Second Layer!
Seeing these two, the others found their chests completely collapsed, dead for sure!
The members of the Red Hawk Tribe were stunned for a moment; two of their own were down at the onset — that was too fast, wasn't it?!
Furthermore, this young man's attacks were far more ruthless than before, directly striking for the kill!
This sent a shiver through each heart!
In a blink, two more were killed under Su Chen's hands, one was a Fourth Layer and the weakest was a First Layer!
Especially witnessing the Fourth Layer getting slapped to death by Su Chen, the remaining were afraid, momentarily hesitant to move!
Shi Yuntian and his son looked at him with a grave expression!
"Kid, you're even stronger than I thought!"
Shi Yuntian said to Su Chen in a serious tone.
"People like you, I really don't take seriously."
Su Chen shrugged and said:
"Originally, I didn't want to bother with you, but you keep coming for death, don't blame me for it!"
"Kid, you have quite the arrogance!"
Shi Zhuo scoffed coldly.
Although this kid was extraordinarily strong, he still had his father, an expert at the Meridian Expansion Seventh Layer!
Mu Ling'er hid behind Su Chen, wanting to strike but hesitating, as she never fought before!
"Cut the talk, let's attack together and deal with this kid first!"
Shi Yuntian shouted in a heavy voice, feeling that dragging it out like this only worsens their situation!
