Chapter 1081: Useless Young Master
After another hour, as those fruits gradually turned red all over, everyone stood up!
Everyone was observing their surroundings, ready to move the moment someone else did!
At this moment, they were both holding each other back and willing to wait a bit more for the Zhu Yuan fruits to ripen fully!
After all, as long as no one made a move, they wouldn't lose out!
In a trance, everyone seemed to feel a wisp of Yuan Qi emanating from the Spirit Fruits!
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept across the mountain top, a powerful mountain wind, causing one of the red fruits to fall towards the ground!
At the instant the fruit left the branch, almost everyone moved!
In an instant, it seemed a whirlwind sprang up on the mountain top!
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The sound of fists and feet clashing echoed one after another!
At this moment, a man beside Huang Menglei struck a palm towards her, and seeing this, Su Chen immediately pulled Huang Menglei away and kicked the man, sending him flying!
Then he headed towards the Spirit Tree again!
Because Su Chen was looking after both Huang Menglei and Zhu Ming, naturally he wasn't the fastest!
In just a short distance of a few dozen meters, Su Chen had already fended off three people trying to create obstacles for them!
Three people managed to reach the tree first, with one directly striking the Spirit Tree with his palm!
That Spirit Tree was not particularly large to begin with, and immediately began to shake from the impact, causing the Zhu Yuan fruits on it to shower down!
Seeing this, everyone's heart tensed up, then they all heightened their speed to the maximum, dashing forward!
Su Chen glanced around the three people, finding no immediate danger, and also elevated his speed to the fastest!
Because if he delayed any further, there would be nothing left for him!
Among these people, Su Chen was probably the fastest, so he was among the first to reach the tree!
When he got under the tree, there were still some fruits falling, and with a quick motion, he caught four or five Zhu Yuan fruits!
He smoothly collected them into the Cangyue Ring, drawing no attention!
In a moment, everyone arrived under the tree, since they were all at the late stage of Meridian Expansion, speed was inevitable.
Moreover, the distance was only about two hundred meters to begin with!
"Bang bang bang bang~~~"
Then, a more intense sound of fighting erupted!
However, by this time Su Chen had already secured thirteen to fourteen Zhu Yuan fruits!
Huang Menglei had snatched three fruits, while Zhu Ming got one.
At this moment, those who had seized some fruits started rushing down the mountain!
"Let's go!"
Su Chen shouted, then headed down the mountain, with Huang Menglei and Zhu Ming immediately following upon hearing him!
Along the way, there were naturally all sorts of people trying to snatch the Zhu Yuan fruits; Su Chen also encountered a few reckless ones, but he quickly dealt with them!
Of course, quite a few had seen Su Chen teaching Song Chu and others a lesson near the auction before, knowing he was not to be messed with, so they went to rob others instead!
After Su Chen and the others reached the foot of the mountain, they headed straight towards where the helicopter was parked.
But before long, a noise of footsteps suddenly came from behind; a group of people was chasing after them.
Su Chen turned back and stopped in his tracks!
Because he knew, carrying Huang Menglei and Zhu Ming, they couldn't escape.
The main thing was, he didn't want to run!
Soon, those people surrounded Su Chen and the other two!
Of course, these people were Song Chu, Black Tiger, Peng Kang, and their subordinates!
Song Chu and his companions looked at Su Chen with sinister smiles on their faces!
"Kid, you were so arrogant last time, didn't expect you'd end up like this, huh?"
Peng Kang taunted.
"Who are you people? What do you want to do?"
Zhu Ming asked, looking at Song Chu and the others.
"And who the hell are you?"
Black Tiger sneered dismissively:
"Wanna meddle? I'll deal with you too!"
"Humph! Do you know who I am? Even if I lend you courage, you wouldn't dare lay a hand on me!"
Zhu Ming snorted.
"Oh, and who might you be?"
Song Chu raised an eyebrow at these words, acting indifferent but becoming more cautious!
"Listen up, I'm from the Zhu Family!"
Zhu Ming declared haughtily.
Song Chu and the others were momentarily startled, slightly shocked!
This fat guy is actually from the Zhu Family!
The Zhu Family is one of the top powers in the Ancient Martial World, and the gap between a top power and a second-rate power is immense!
"May I ask which Young Master you are from the Zhu Family?"
Song Chu cautiously inquired, dealing with someone from the Zhu Family made things tricky!
"Who I am is none of your business."
Zhu Ming replied indifferently:
"I want to take them and leave, do you have any objections?"
"This person is our enemy; we hope Brother Zhu doesn't interfere!"
Song Chu bowed slightly, really unwilling to let Su Chen go just like that!
"I know, he's the useless Young Master Zhu Ming from the Zhu Family!"
Peng Kang suddenly remembered something and blurted out.
He had been pondering who this young man from the Zhu Family was!
He had already noticed that this person's cultivation was at the Meridian Expansion Fifth Layer, which was extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for someone of the younger generation from a top power like the Zhu Family in the Ancient Martial World!
In top powers within the Ancient Martial World, the younger generation generally reached at least the Eighth or Ninth Layer in cultivation realm!
Seeing his rather plump figure, he immediately thought of the well-known useless Young Master!
"So that's who he is!"
Song Chu and Black Tiger also recalled his identity upon Peng Kang's reminder, a relaxed smile appearing on their lips.
Zhu Ming wore a slightly embarrassed expression at this moment!
He had deliberately acted high and mighty earlier, hoping to take the opportunity to lead Su Chen and Huang Menglei out.
He also did not think Su Chen could be a match for so many people!
"I want to take them, move aside!"
Zhu Ming still wanted to try, as Su Chen had looked after him before!
He was someone who repaid kindness!
"Sorry, Young Master Zhu, I'm afraid we can't agree to your request."
Song Chu taunted with a smile, now completely at ease.
"Are you really going to disrespect our Zhu Family like this?"
Zhu Ming's face turned serious.
"I'm afraid, Young Master Zhu, you can't represent the Zhu Family."
Song Chu smiled playfully and said:
"If it were your brother making the request, we'd step aside without a second thought, but for you, sorry..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming's face turned red and then white, looking even more embarrassed!
Black Tiger and Peng Kang laughed sarcastically at Zhu Ming, seemingly not taking this Zhu Family Young Master seriously at all...
