The night sky was overcast, a harbinger of an approaching storm.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Suddenly, several figures rushed towards Chu Chen from behind, their movements swift and ghostly. They were six elders, their speed astonishing.
Chu Chen sensed the commotion behind him.
"It's them!"
"It seems these are the powerhouses of that faction."
Chu Chen's eyes narrowed, a cold killing intent flashing across his face. He had chosen to pursue Chu Wuya for revenge. However, Chu Wuya's strength was terrifying, and despite his own power, killing him seemed impossible. Thus, he could only flee. These approaching powerhouses were his pursuers.
A heavy feeling settled in Chu Chen's heart. He hadn't expected trouble so soon after leaving Chu Family City.
"These people's cultivation is not weak!"
A look of solemnity appeared on Chu Chen's face. The fact that such a force had dispatched so many experts to hunt him suggested they were no simple organization.
"No matter! I'll deal with these people first!"
A cold glint flickered in Chu Chen's eyes.
"Whoosh!"
Chu Chen's figure suddenly accelerated, like a leopard darting through the darkness. His speed was monstrous, and in the blink of an eye, he had widened the distance between himself and his pursuers.
"As expected of a disciple of the Xuanming Sect, their speed is truly remarkable!"
"It's a pity. He killed our Xuanming Sect disciple. Today, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would die!"
The figures pursued Chu Chen relentlessly, intense killing intent flashing in their eyes.
"Chu Chen, you can't escape. Surrender obediently!" a black-robed elder commanded coldly.
"Are you threatening me?" Chu Chen turned, his gaze sweeping over them.
"That's right, we are threatening you!" the black-robed elder replied indifferently. "If you don't surrender, you're seeking your own death. Your friends probably won't live much longer either!"
"Heh heh!" Chu Chen sneered. "I suggest you turn back quickly, or I'll kill you all as well!"
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, a mocking expression appeared on their faces.
"Little brat, do you think we're easily scared? You will die today!" one of the elders roared.
"You think a few useless individuals like yourselves can kill me?" Chu Chen's face showed a hint of disdain.
"Courting death!" Sharpness erupted from the eyes of several elders simultaneously.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the next second, they all brandished their swords and attacked Chu Chen.
"Rumble!"
Instantly, Chu Chen and the elders clashed fiercely. Two terrifying auras collided in the air, tearing the sky with jagged cracks. Dazzling sword lights crisscrossed the heavens and earth.
"Rumble!"
Chu Chen unleashed a punch! A massive golden fist, imbued with terrifying power, slammed into the black-robed elder. The elder's face paled slightly.
"Such formidable physical strength!"
This black-robed elder was a peak Saint Realm fifth-level martial artist. The other four were all at the Saint Realm fifth-level. Their cultivation was exceptionally strong, ranking among the top in any kingdom of the Southern Domain. Yet, in Chu Chen's hands, they seemed incredibly vulnerable.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The black-robed elders were all repelled by Chu Chen's punch, falling to the ground and spitting blood. They were all seriously injured. Chu Chen's strength was simply too overwhelming. Apart from Chu Wuya, there was likely no one else in Chu Family City who could match him.
"Alright!"
"Now, I'll give you a chance to live!"
"Scram!" Chu Chen looked at them coldly.
"You little bastard! Don't be arrogant! Let's go!" The black-robed elders gritted their teeth. With that, they flickered and fled into the distance.
Chu Chen's expression grew even more grim. These people were unwilling to leave.
"It seems I must kill them myself, or there will be endless trouble later!" Chu Chen's brow furrowed, a frosty expression on his face. In the next moment, he transformed into an afterimage and plunged into their midst.
The elders' faces changed.
"Not good!"
"Chu Chen has caught up!"
Fear appeared on their faces. Their strength was far inferior to Chu Chen's. This young man was too bizarre! How could he catch up so quickly?!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Chu Chen struck each of them with a punch, sending them flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, their faces contorted. This scene utterly shocked the remaining elders. What kind of monster was this young man? He could so easily defeat even experts of this caliber!
Chu Chen looked at them, snorted, and slowly raised his right foot, stomping down heavily. "Bang!"
"Pfft!"
They coughed up blood, their faces ashen.
"Are you going to continue following me, or choose to leave your lives behind?" Chu Chen asked coldly.
"We... we surrender! Please spare our lives!" one black-robed elder said, his face pale.
Chu Chen nodded. "In that case, be gone!"
"Thank you, Young Master Chu Chen! We bid farewell!" The elders bowed repeatedly and then fled in panic.
Soon, only Chu Chen and his companion remained in Chu Family City. A chilling light flashed in Chu Chen's eyes as he stared at Chu Wuya on the ground, a cold smile on his face.
"Kid, I advise you not to struggle futilely. I admit your strength is great, even greater than Chu Wuya's!"
"However, your strength is too far from the Old Ancestor's. I advise you to give up!"
"Do you think we're truly afraid of you?"
"Hahahaha!" The black-robed elders laughed wildly, as if they had Chu Chen cornered.
"Is that so?" Chu Chen smiled faintly, then raised his right foot and stomped down hard on Chu Wuya's head.
"Rumble!" In the next instant, the entire city trembled violently! Chu Chen's foot landed directly on Chu Wuya's head! This half-step deity-level expert was enraged!
"Kid, how dare you!"
"Our Xuan Yin Palace will absolutely not let you go!"
"Insulting Chu Wuya makes you our Xuan Yin Palace's mortal enemy!"
"No matter where you go, you will be hunted by our Xuan Yin Palace!"
Seeing Chu Chen's actions, the black-robed elders' faces changed drastically. They had never imagined Chu Chen would actually dare to kill someone here. After all, Chu Wuya was a core disciple of the Xuan Yin Palace. Chu Chen daring to kill a core disciple of the Xuan Yin Palace in front of so many Xuan Yin Palace experts was undoubtedly a provocation.
