"You're seeking death!"
Upon seeing Su Chen send his subordinate flying, the young man instantly erupted in anger.
The others glared at Su Chen as well, clearly outraged by Su Chen's actions!
"I said, let's see who dares to make a move!"
Su Chen coldly spat out:
"Whoever dares to move again will face more than just injuries!"
As Su Chen said this, a murderous aura emanated from him!
The palm strike he just delivered did not kill the opponent, though being severely injured was unavoidable. This was also a warning!
If these people still failed to recognize his might, he would have no choice but to slaughter them!
"I want to see what you're capable of!"
The young man was even more infuriated upon hearing Su Chen's arrogant words!
Wasn't this guy hitting his subordinate equivalent to slapping his face?!
The people beside him also swiftly took their positions, ready to deal with Su Chen!
At this moment, a figure rushed over, then snapped indignantly.
Upon seeing this figure, both the young man and his subordinates were momentarily stunned!
"Su Chen, what happened?"
Qin Nishang ignored the others and looked at Su Chen, inquiring.
Upon seeing that Qin Nishang knew Su Chen, these people were even more shocked, thinking to themselves:
"Could this guy with Qin Nishang be him?"
Evidently, they, too, had heard rumors about Qin Nishang being with an unfamiliar man!
"Nothing much, just that these people want to rob us."
Su Chen shrugged, speaking casually.
Upon hearing this, Qin Nishang immediately understood that these people likely intended to steal the demon core of the one-horned rhinoceros!
"Young Master Xue, we killed this one-horned rhinoceros, you can leave now!"
Qin Nishang calmly stated, her tone leaving no room for dispute!
She found it strange, though. Had they not just seen Su Chen kill this one-horned rhinoceros?
If they saw it, they should have known Su Chen's prowess. How could they dare to take action?
Even though their family's influence was considerable, in the Dark Forest, if Su Chen were to kill them, it would be difficult for anyone to find out!
Actually, it was a coincidence. When they passed the corner earlier, there was still some distance from Su Chen, and they just happened to see the one-horned rhinoceros stagger and stand up, not witnessing Su Chen's earlier actions!
Seeing that Su Chen was only at the Kaiyuan Primary Stage, they naturally disregarded him and certainly did not believe he could kill the demon beast!
These people looked at each other in dismay after hearing Qin Nishang's words.
If it was Qin Nishang who killed this third-grade one-horned rhinoceros, they might somewhat believe it!
Could it be that Qin Nishang injured the one-horned rhinoceros and then let this young man take it?
If the rumors were true, this would be possible!
But the fact that this lad injured their people was a grievance hard to swallow, especially for that young man!
It wasn't out of concern for his subordinates but more the feeling that Su Chen had slapped him in the face since his subordinates were acting on his orders!
The saying "hit the dog to insult the master" explained it!
However, with Qin Nishang here, it was not feasible for him to vent his anger!
Whether in terms of backing or personal strength, there was quite a gap between him and Qin Nishang!
"Alright, since Miss Qin has spoken, I'll give her face today!"
Since Qin Nishang had intervened, Xue Zhao had no choice but to sullenly leave with his subordinates...
After they left, Su Chen took out the Light Martial Sword, preparing to extract the demon core from the one-horned rhinoceros...
Qin Nishang saw the long sword suddenly appear in his hand, and her beautiful eyes widened in shock!
Before, when they killed several demon beasts, it was Qin Nishang who extracted the demon cores; this was the first time Su Chen had brought out the Light Martial Sword!
"Is that a Storage Ring?!"
Qin Nishang stared at Su Chen's finger in shock and asked.
Su Chen was also somewhat surprised to hear this and turned to smile.
It wasn't the first time he had taken something from the Cangyue Ring in front of people, yet no one had ever realized that his ring was a Storage Ring, at most wondering where the items came from.
His old ghostly master also said that in the entire Ancient Martial World, few knew about Storage Rings, yet Qin Nishang recognized it!
"I read about it in an ancient book, but I've never seen it and thought it was just a fabrication!"
Qin Nishang murmured softly.
Being in charge of the auction house business, Qin Nishang was naturally more knowledgeable about treasures than the average person. She then looked at Su Chen and said:
"Mr. Su, could I have a look at this Storage Ring?"
Qin Nishang was really curious about what a Storage Ring looked like, which is why she asked.
Su Chen smiled and handed the Cangyue Ring to Qin Nishang.
Qin Nishang was both surprised and touched by how easily Su Chen let her see the ring, as the value of a Storage Ring was incomparable even to a Spiritual Artifact! Follow current novels on ๐ท๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ต~๐๐๐ฃ๐~๐ฃ๐๐ฉ
She also understood that it was Su Chen's trust in her that allowed this!
Qin Nishang took the Storage Ring and looked at it; aside from the intricate patterns on it, there wasn't anything particularly special about it, so she returned it to Su Chen.
Su Chen took the Cangyue Ring, put it back on, and then proceeded to extract the demon core.
A moment later, Su Chen handed the demon core to Qin Nishang with a smile.
"How can I accept this? It was you who dealt with the demon beast."
Qin Nishang quickly waved her hand in refusal.
"Alright, don't be polite."
Su Chen pulled her hand over and placed the demon core in her palm.
Seeing this, Qin Nishang had no choice but to accept it.
"Then please take these two second-grade demon cores."
Qin Nishang offered the demon cores she obtained from the two second-grade one-horned rhinoceroses to Su Chen.
"Alright, then I won't refuse."
Su Chen accepted them and placed the two demon cores into the Cangyue Ring with a smile.
In truth, Qin Nishang knew that the value of two second-grade demon cores was far less than that of one third-grade demon core!
"Young Master, are we just going to let this go?"
The person Su Chen injured asked Xue Zhao, eyes full of hatred!
"With Qin Nishang protecting him, there's nothing the Young Master can do."
Another person gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Hmph, just because we dare not make a move doesn't mean no one else will!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhao smirked.
"Young Master, do you mean...?"
The one who spoke earlier asked upon hearing this.
"Isn't that person also in the Dark Forest?"
A sly grin appeared on Xue Zhao's face as he said:
"I bet he's also heard some of the rumors!"
"Indeed, Young Master. If that person hears this news, I'm afraid he'll want to tear that kid apart!"
Hearing this, the speaker clapped his hands in admiration, and others chuckled knowingly...
