Chapter 1110: You're Too Weak
After a moment's pause, both moved simultaneously, but this time their positions had undergone subtle changes!
Earlier, they attacked Su Chen from the left and right forward flanks, but now, they positioned themselves in a straight line with Su Chen as the center, and it was a diagonal line!
This positioning's biggest advantage was that it made it harder for Su Chen to escape; neither left nor right was feasible, and even front and back were within their attack range!
At the same time, they both launched a punch at Su Chen!
Although they hadn't reached the Kaiyuan Realm, they were at the pinnacle of the Half-Step Kaiyuan, so their full-force punches were still formidable!
The void seemed to shatter, with ripples of airflow spreading out, and the powerful True Yuan surged on the Fist Mang!
Su Chen, with his vast experience, instantly understood their intentions upon seeing their positions!
He didn't care about these two to begin with, and now it only made it more convenient for him to act!
Their fatal mistake was underestimating Su Chen's cultivation and strength, thinking any one of them was not weaker than him!
Moreover, if he engaged one, the other could attack from behind!
This way, they believed there was no room for error!
Seeing the fists coming from both directions, Su Chen directly charged toward one of them. He swiftly dodged the incoming punch and then struck the person's chest with his palm!
"Bang!"
A massive dull sound echoed, and that person flew backward!
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
Almost simultaneously, the punch from the person behind Su Chen landed on him, followed by the clear sound of a bone fracture!
"How can this be?"
The person behind Su Chen was stunned; it was precisely the one who had wielded a sword earlier!
He had landed a solid punch on the opponent, yet not only did it not harm Su Chen, but his arm got fractured instead!
"Are you human or ghost?"
That person looked at Su Chen, speechless and incredulous!
No matter how strong Su Chen was, he shouldn't be unaffected!
"You're too weak!"
Su Chen turned around, a mocking smile playing at the corner of his mouth!
The current strength of Su Chen's body wouldn't be affected by someone at the primary stage of Kaiyuan, let alone this Half-Step Kaiyuan!
"Ah!!!"
The man shouted and suddenly turned to flee; this was too bizarre, and he instinctively sensed the danger!
But after just a few steps, he stumbled and fell to the ground!
When he touched the back of his knee, he found several Silver Needles embedded there!
He pulled out the needles with a jerk, but as soon as he did, his leg felt off!
However, it wasn't the time to worry about that now. He quickly tried to get up to continue fleeing!
But just as he tried to stand, he realized that leg had no strength at all!
"What's going on?"
His face turned to one of utter terror; how could this be happening?!
"My Silver Needles aren't so easily removed!"
At this moment, Su Chen approached slowly, sneering.
Under this sky, aside from his old ghost of a master, no one would dare remove his Silver Needles, not even the old mystic!
"I beg you, please spare me!"
The man, realizing he couldn't escape, quickly pleaded:
"It's all the Young Master's orders; it has nothing to do with me!"
Death is a terrifying prospect for everyone, and now he was filled with fear of dying!
"Answer me one question, and I'll let you go."
Su Chen said calmly.
"Okay, okay, I'll answer everything I know!"
The man agreed hastily.
"Where is Zhou Hao now?"
Su Chen asked.
This Young Master of the Liewu Sect wanted to harm him, and Su Chen wouldn't let it slide!
"I... I don't know."
The man replied:
"Soon after entering the ruins, the Young Master ordered us to wait for you along this route and then kill you! He took the others in a different direction."
"How did he know I would take this route?"
Su Chen asked again.
"I don't know either; the Young Master seemed to receive some message, then instructed the two of us to come here."
The man shook his head as he spoke.
"In that case, keeping you alive is useless!"
Su Chen reached out, grabbed the man's throat, and twisted it, breaking his neck and tossing the body aside!
Even if the man knew the answers and told Su Chen, Su Chen would not have let him go!
Su Chen was not a bloodthirsty killer, but he was no saint either!
"It appears someone informed the Young Master of the Liewu Sect about my travel route, using him as a blade to kill me!"
Su Chen thought to himself as he continued forward.
......
Meanwhile, in another direction within the ruins, a group was advancing while carefully surveying their surroundings, especially near building ruins where their search became more meticulous!
This group was precisely the people from Yunhai Hall who had accompanied Su Chen earlier.
"Xinyi, you seem to be preoccupied?"
Lan Haifeng asked with concern.
"It's nothing much."
Lan Xinyi shook her head and said:
"It's just that it's Mr. Su's first time exploring the ruins, and I'm a bit worried about his safety."
"Xinyi, he has nothing to do with us, so why worry about a stranger like him?"
Lan Haifeng scoffed at Lan Xinyi's words.
"How can you say that? Even though we are mere acquaintances, naturally, I hope nothing happens to him."
Lan Xinyi frowned slightly and said.
Actually, Lan Xinyi didn't know why, but that man left a special impression on her.
Of course, that's all there was to it!
She thought, perhaps it was because of his carefree manner and witty speech!
"That guy is quite arrogant, isn't he? He must have some backing, so we don't need to worry about him!"
Lan Haifeng remarked sarcastically.
Lan Xinyi didn't say anything at Lan Haifeng's words; her concern was actually about his personality!
After all, there were many Ancient Martial Forces here, and if he clashed with one over a treasure or some other reason without backing down, he'd be in trouble!
These types of incidents were not uncommon in treasure hunts over the years!
Lan Haifeng was quite irritated seeing Lan Xinyi worry about a mere stranger.
But soon he smirked slightly and thought secretly:
"Your worries are in vain; this punk has likely already been killed by the Liewu Sect by now!"
He believed that with the strength of the Liewu Sect, dealing with such a conceited punk would be very easy!
Of course, Lan Haifeng would never say this out loud!
The people of Yunhai Hall continued to search for traces of treasures as they moved forward steadily.
Just then, Lan Xinyi suddenly seemed to hear an indistinct roar!
Though the roar was somewhat low and faint, it caused Lan Xinyi's entire being to tense up completely...
