Chapter 319 Tricking Someone
Sect Master Song's expression turned cold, and he raised his hand, slapping towards Mo Chou's face.
"You dare to hit me?"
Seeing this, Mo Chou became furious.
She wanted to dodge, but for some reason, it seemed impossible to evade.
"Slap!"
Mo Chou was sent flying by the slap, her back slamming hard against the wall, her lips bleeding...
"Senior Sister!"
Zhao Xiaoyu rushed over, helping Mo Chou up, and glanced at Sect Master Song warily, "Senior Sister, this guy, his strength might not be very high, right?"
Mo Chou, covering her swollen red cheek, her eyes flickering with malice, said stubbornly, "It's fine, I was just ambushed. If it were a fair fight, he wouldn't be my opponent!"
Chen Xuan glanced at this Sect Master Song, a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and said softly, "Yunxi, hide behind me."
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan and whispered, "Is this guy very strong?"
Chen Xuan smiled, "He's alright."
Su Yunxi didn't ask Chen Xuan to help, after all, Mo Chou had spoken so harshly earlier, she wasn't that much of a saint.
Sect Master Song's gaze shifted, spotting Chen Xuan talking to Su Yunxi, and he struck out with a palm.
Chen Xuan grabbed Su Yunxi and ducked down abruptly.
The powerful surge of energy flew past, barely grazing Chen Xuan's scalp.
Boom!
The vase on the cabinet behind Chen Xuan was smashed to pieces, and the mural on the wall, along with the wall itself, was blasted with a large hole!
The entire place fell silent.
Many people were already breaking out in a cold sweat!
Zhao Xiaoyu's face turned pale, staring at the powerful Sect Master Song, she said word by word, "Attacking from a distance, an Internal Energy Grandmaster!"
Every word sent chills down their spines.
This was not a half-step Internal Energy Grandmaster, but a genuine Internal Energy Grandmaster!
Mo Chou's face hurt. It wasn't that she had underestimated the opponent earlier, but that she was simply no match for him.
Seeing Chen Xuan dodge the attack, Sect Master Song was somewhat surprised, but he assumed Chen Xuan was just lucky and charged forward again.
Chen Xuan quickly raised his hand, making a gesture to stop, and said, "Friend, let's talk properly. Even if I have to die, you should at least let me die with understanding, right? I don't want to die in vain."
Was it the Su family from the capital? Or someone else?
He was deliberately trying to get information from the guy.
"Coward! A true man never bows to pressure!"
Mo Chou looked at Chen Xuan with disdain, pouting.
Sect Master Song said coldly, "Fine, then I'll let you die with understanding. Yesterday, my junior brother Murong Wuji and my nephew Murong Tian went to the Lin family on business, but they were crippled by someone. According to our investigation, the Lin family does not have the strength to deal with them. Only you, Mo Chou, and Zhao Xiaoyu went to the Lin family! Speak, which one of you crippled them?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt a bit disappointed. He hadn't expected it to be someone from the Su family in the capital, but rather someone sent by the Murong family for revenge. He could understand that the Murong family, upon hearing about the incident with their kin, would send people to seek retribution.
"Was it you?"
Sect Master Song narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xuan, his gaze like a cobra fixated on its prey, a chilling glint within.
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Mo Chou sarcastically chimed in, "Esteemed Grandmaster, you think too highly of this fellow. How could a cripple like him defeat your junior brother? You're giving him too much credit!"
Even at this point, Mo Chou didn't forget to step on Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan chuckled. This woman was an idiot.
Even now, she was still trying to get others in trouble.
Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
He spread his hands, feigning difficulty, "Friend, you've heard it too. I simply don't have the strength to kill your people... Why don't you ask her..."
Saying this, Chen Xuan winked at Mo Chou.
"It was you then?!"
Sect Master Song nodded in agreement, turning his gaze towards Mo Chou, his eyes menacing.
"Chen Xuan, you're talking nonsense... It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"
Hearing this, Mo Chou immediately understood Chen Xuan's intention – he was shifting the blame! This was a burden she absolutely couldn't bear, and she was so angry she almost spat blood.
At the same time, she wished she could slap herself. If only she hadn't said those words earlier!
Although she considered herself skilled, her strength was far inferior to this Internal Energy Grandmaster before her.
"You said I couldn't win, that's what you said." Chen Xuan rubbed his nose.
Mo Chou's eyes turned red with anxiety. She could only desperately explain to Sect Master Song, "This has nothing to do with me, you have to believe me."
Sect Master Song's sharp gaze, like a knife and sword, swept across Chen Xuan and Mo Chou. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he lunged towards Mo Chou with murderous intent!
"Annoying..."
Watching the charging Sect Master Song, Mo Chou was extremely enraged. She couldn't explain and could only fight back!
The gap between a half-step Internal Energy Grandmaster and an Internal Energy Grandmaster was worlds apart!
Mo Chou still had some skill, enduring three moves from Sect Master Song. In the final exchange, her arm was shattered by Sect Master Song's palm.
Mo Chou coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string...
"Senior Sister!"
Shangguan Wan'er and Zhao Xiaoyu cried out, their eyes red and faces filled with worry.
Mo Chou was not dead, her breathing weak, but she was spitting blood profusely. Her arm had been blown to pulp, and her path to future cultivation was likely ruined.
Chen Xuan felt no pity for Mo Chou.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Mo Chou sowed evil, and naturally, she reaped the bitter fruit!
"Your turn!"
Sect Master Song moved, appearing in front of Chen Xuan, his eyes icy and sinister, with a hint of disdain.
When he saw Su Yunxi behind Chen Xuan, a flicker of greed crossed his eyes.
Coincidentally, this flicker of greed was noticed by Chen Xuan, which also laid the groundwork for this Grandmaster's downfall.
"You're not planning to let me go?" Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Before I came, I said, you will all die!"
After a slight pause, Sect Master Song glanced at Su Yunxi, licked his lips, "If you obediently hand over the woman behind you to me, I can grant you a swift death!"
Chen Xuan's expression turned cold, "Fine, then I'll give you a choice. If you leave here immediately, I can spare your life."
Mo Chou watched this scene, filled with schadenfreude.
This was an Internal Energy Grandmaster, and he still dared to act tough.
If it weren't for Chen Xuan earlier, she wouldn't have ended up like this. She hated Chen Xuan to the bone, wishing he would be killed by this guy with a single palm strike.
Others also looked unfavorably at Chen Xuan.
"Spare my life? Have you lost your mind?! Where do you get your courage from?!"
Sect Master Song burst into laughter.
Suddenly, his expression turned cold, and he slammed a punch towards Chen Xuan's face.
Chen Xuan remained unmoved, throwing out a fist. The incoming punch met his head-on!
Bang!
The massive shockwave caused the table to shatter into pieces, and the bowls and chopsticks on it instantly burst!
Crash!
The entire building seemed to be shaking as if an earthquake had struck.
Sect Master Song staggered backward, his arm and fist deformed, revealing bone and flesh. Blood flowed down his arm, a gruesome sight.
The intense pain made him tremble involuntarily, his body shaking like a sieve.
He stared at Chen Xuan in shock, his voice hoarse, "You... you're not...?"
Everyone present was stunned by this scene.
"How could this be? Isn't he a cripple?"
Especially Mo Chou, her eyes fixed on the pathetic Sect Master Song, then shifting to the unharmed Chen Xuan...
What in the world was going on?!
