Chapter 591 The Twenty-Eight Mansions
The voice was not Su Ya's, but Chen Yang knew who it was.
It was the bodyguard Zhuque had arranged for Su Ya, a brother from the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion!
Chen Yang immediately said to Liu Ran beside him, "Stay in the hotel, don't go anywhere."
Chen Yang went alone, without bringing Zhuque and the others.
The association, or rather, the Zhou family, might come here. He had to leave enough manpower.
The Modu Grand Hotel was not far from the association. Chen Yang fully utilized the Sky Walking Secret Technique and arrived at the association in an instant.
He released his spiritual power, sensed the presence of martial artists, and rushed in directly.
The security guards at the entrance didn't even notice anyone entering, only feeling a gust of wind pass by.
At this moment, in the conference room, Huang Chen looked at Cheng Mo with bloodshot eyes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly, "Cheng Mo, this young girl is just an ordinary person. You broke the rules today. Aren't you afraid of being killed by the War Gods?"
Su Ya, referred to as the young girl, trembled and hid in the corner, not daring to move.
Besides Huang Chen, another bodyguard, unable to get up, lay on the ground in front of Su Ya.
Su Ya initially didn't pay much attention to the bodyguard Chen Yang had arranged for her. It was only after seeing the bodyguard's skills that she realized how strong the person was.
But she never expected that such a bodyguard would be sent flying with one palm by the old man Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo's eyes greedily appraised Su Ya. His recent seclusion had reached a bottleneck, and he was contemplating how to break through when he saw Su Ya.
A perfect cauldron!
Even if he were pursued by the Four War Gods, he had to take this woman with him!
Cheng Mo's gaze turned frenzied. As long as he could break through his bottleneck, he wouldn't fear ten War Gods, let alone four.
"Huang Chen, since you reminded me, I can't leave any witnesses!"
Cheng Mo's inner force erupted, and a palm strike of immense power surged towards Huang Chen.
Facing the powerful pressure of this palm strike, Huang Chen felt a wry smile. He thought that obtaining the medicinal formula would allow him to live a few more years, but he didn't expect it to become his death warrant.
Huang Chen knew that even if he were unharmed and at his peak strength, he would have no chance against this old man Cheng Mo, let alone in his current state.
"Alas, young friend Chen, this old man can only help you this far."
Huang Chen slowly closed his eyes, preparing to meet his death.
But the deathly palm strike did not crush him; it dissipated before his eyes.
Huang Chen curiously opened his eyes and saw Chen Yang standing in front of him.
Chen Yang, seeing that Su Ya was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief. But then he saw the Heavenly Slaughter Pavilion brother lying on the ground and a killing intent surged within him.
"Chen Yang!" Su Ya, seeing Chen Yang, forced herself not to cry, holding back her tears.
Chen Yang threw a pill from his pocket to Su Ya. "Give it to her."
Then he turned to Cheng Mo. "Did you do this?"
"He is Cheng Mo of the Twenty-Eight Mansions. The Great Zhou Tian from the Zhou family yesterday was his disciple. Cheng Mo has long since reached the Grandmaster realm and is now at the peak of Grandmaster. Young friend Chen, take the girl and leave first. I will hold him off!" Huang Chen whispered behind Chen Yang.
"Twenty-Eight Mansions!" Chen Yang had heard of this name.
There were countless sects in the north and south, and some martial artists, with their free-spirited nature, could not tolerate the constraints of sects and formed their own factions.
The Twenty-Eight Mansions was one such powerful force, and ordinary sects did not dare to offend them casually.
To achieve such fame without belonging to a sect was enough to show their strength.
Cheng Mo looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of confusion. He was certain that Huang Chen couldn't have blocked that palm strike. Yet, this young man had directly dispersed his attack.
"Grandmaster? Such a young Grandmaster is rarely seen. Considering your cultivation journey is not easy, leave now, and I can spare your life."
Cheng Mo did not want to cause too much trouble. A Grandmaster this young might have a hidden master guiding him. Moreover, Cheng Mo sensed another powerful aura approaching from a distance.
A sinister smile spread across Chen Yang's face. "Spare my life? You can spare me, but I won't spare you."
"As a member of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, you not only colluded with the Zhou family but have now injured a member of the association. Today, you will surely die!"
Before his words even finished, Chen Yang, using the Sky Walking Secret Technique, instantly appeared before Cheng Mo. Simultaneously, the fiery inner force within Chen Yang surged out.
Cheng Mo did not expect the young man's speed to be so astonishing. Unable to dodge, he was instantly engulfed by the fiery attack, like a fierce tiger.
Cheng Mo's dark inner force managed to push Chen Yang back with difficulty. Panting, Cheng Mo looked at the burning spots on his clothes and gritted his teeth, "Very good, very good. It seems I must kill a genius today!"
"None of you will leave!"
Sensing the powerful force rapidly approaching, Cheng Mo no longer dared to delay. The peak Grandmaster inner force within Cheng Mo erupted, and a vast power, like a boundless ocean of ink, surged towards Chen Yang and the others.
Cheng Mo intended to crush these people with the most ferocious force!
Chen Yang's brows furrowed. The power displayed by Cheng Mo had indeed reached the peak of Grandmaster, and his power was profound.
He was likely a Grandmaster who had reached the peak for a long time.
Chen Yang understood that if he couldn't withstand this power, Huang Chen and the others behind him would surely die.
Chen Yang did not use the Sky Walking Secret Technique to evade this power. Instead, he unleashed both his fiery inner force and his cold water inner force simultaneously, absorbing it with a Tai Chi formation.
Cheng Mo laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Hahaha, young man, I admit you are strong, but you are too naive!"
Just as Chen Yang caught the surging ink energy, a viscous feeling immediately attached itself to Chen Yang's inner force. The sensation of being trapped in a quagmire spread throughout Chen Yang's body via his inner force.
This ink energy was less like a colossal wave and more like a muddy swamp.
If not for his third cauldron having strengthened Chen Yang's muscles and bones, his entire body would have been immobilized within seconds.
"A meager trick!" In front of Chen Yang, the Tai Chi disc formed by fiery inner force and cold water inner force shattered from within, repelling a significant amount of the ink energy.
If he couldn't block it by following its flow, he would break it!
Chen Yang struck out with both fists, each imbued with a different type of inner force. Every punch he threw shattered a portion of the ink energy.
At this moment, Cheng Mo's figure vanished.
"Hehehe, I'm done playing with you. I'll be going first!"
"Ah! Chen Yang, save me!"
Hearing Su Ya's cry for help, Chen Yang suddenly looked back.
Cheng Mo was heading towards Su Ya!
But he was currently surrounded by ink energy and couldn't get through in a short time.
"Cheng Mo, you scoundrel, how dare you!" Huang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. With his inner force coursing through his body, he blocked Cheng Mo's path. He would sacrifice his life today rather than let Cheng Mo take this young girl away!
