Chapter 206: Why don"t you take out your sword?
The old man seemed to be walking very slowly, but his speed was extremely fast. In just a short moment, he was already less than ten meters away from the group.
Moreover, even though he was very old, he had an extremely terrifying aura surging out from his body when he raised his hand, causing one"s heart to palpitate.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Ya shouted out in a low voice once again. His eyes were fixed on the old man in cyan and deep fear couldn"t help but appear in his eyes.
The green robed elder acted as if he did not hear it, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Tang Huan, bowing deeply as he said, "Young n.o.ble Wu You, leave this matter to this old servant."
Seeing that, not only Zhang Ye, s.h.i.+ Qian, Li He and the others, even Mu Yan who was most familiar with Tang Huan, had a face full of surprise and bewilderment.
What was the background of this fellow? There was actually someone who called himself an "old servant" in front of him. Moreover, this self-proclaimed servant was probably more powerful than Zhang Ye, and was most likely a peak Seventh Order Great Martial Master. Could it be that there was someone else who did not know of his ident.i.ty?
"Elder Lu?"
Tang Huan finally regained his senses and asked with some shock, "Why are you here?"
This old man in green was actually the "Grandpa Lu" that Shan Shan had called him. Back then, he was the Mo Dan that helped him to capture Mo Ye.
From what Tang Huan knew, his real name seemed to be Lu Chen.
He appeared here, could it be that Shan Shan also came here? As Tang Huan thought about it again, a hint of happiness uncontrollably appeared between his brows.
"This old servant has always been by Young Master"s side." Lu Chen grinned.
"Oh?"
Tang Huan was startled at first, but then he understood the meaning behind his words.
Shan Shan did not come to the Sword Crafting Valley, but the reason why Lu Chen appeared here was because he had always been by"s side ever since they left the Furious Waves City.
Instantly, a strand of warmth surfaced at the bottom of Tang Huan"s heart.
By this time, Lu Chen had already turned around and walked step by step towards Zhang Ye.
In other people"s eyes, Lu Chen was just strolling leisurely like before. However, in Zhang Ye"s eyes, the thin and frail body in front of him was as majestic as a mountain. His feet landed on the ground, causing the earth to shake.
In the next moment, the qi and blood in Zhang Ye"s body started to fluctuate rapidly, and he couldn"t help but take a step back.
With each step Lu Chen took, Zhang Ye took a step back. When they reached the ninth step, Zhang Ye could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Uncle Zhang, you..."
Seeing this weird scene, s.h.i.+ Qian was shocked, but he couldn"t ask anything else.
Not only him, Gu Ying, Li He, and the few hundred soldiers were all stunned by this unbelievable scene. Such a situation was completely beyond the knowledge of the crowd. To be able to force a Stage Seven Martial Master to vomit blood without even making a move, how terrifying must his strength be?
Could it be that before anyone noticed, the old man had already used some sort of mystical battle skill?
In an instant, the entire mountain cave became deathly silent.
Tang Huan could not help but reveal a surprised look in his eyes. Back when he was in Furious Waves City, he already knew that Lu Chen was a tyrant. However, looking at the current situation, Lu Chen"s strength far exceeded his expectations. Could he be a Martial Lord of the eighth step instead of a peak-stage Martial Master?
Beside Tang Huan, the red silk ribbon in Mu Yan"s hand had already been secretly withdrawn. A pair of beautiful eyes swept between Tang Huan and Lu Chen, filled with intense curiosity.
"Lord Thousand Generals, do you know who this old man is now?" Lu Chen stopped in his tracks, smiling with narrowed eyes.
"You, you are …"
Astonishment flashed across Zhang Ye"s eyes, as if he had recognized Lu Chen"s origins. However, he swallowed the words that were just about to reach his mouth. Soon after, Zhang Ye took a deep breath, glanced at Tang Huan, and wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, then growled with a gloomy face: "Let"s go!"
"Wait a minute, it won"t be too late to leave the items behind!" Lu Chen leisurely said with a smile on his face.
"What is it?"
Zhang Ye"s expression changed.
Lu Chen smiled but did not speak. He simply gazed at Zhang Ye quietly.
On the other hand, Zhang Ye"s face was getting more and more unsightly. The back of his right hand which was holding onto the handle of his sabre was suddenly tightened and relaxed. He looked like he wanted to attack but didn"t dare to. After a long while, Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and took out a small black bag from his bosom and threw it towards Lu Chen, "Since you want it, then take it!"
Lu Chen received the small bag and nodded his head in satisfaction. He then waved his hand and said, "You can leave now, but he has to stay!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen pointed at s.h.i.+ Qian.
"Uncle Zhang!"
s.h.i.+ Qian woke up with a start, and his face turned pale with fright. He wanted to run towards Zhang Ye.
But before he could even move a withered hand claw grabbed his neck, a wave of cold immediately rushed from his neck to his coccyx. s.h.i.+ Qian"s body froze and he was unable to move. He was momentarily stunned, and he cried out involuntarily, "Uncle Zhang, save me! Uncle Zhang, save me …"
"Let him go!"
Zhang Ye was furious, the veins on his neck were popping out, "Old man, don"t go overboard. Don"t think that you came from that place. This general is afraid of you!"
"Since that"s the case, why didn"t the Lord Thousand Generals use a saber?" Lu Chen calmly brandished his saber.
"You …"
Zhang Ye"s face was flushed, and he was breathing heavily. He was obviously angry to the extreme. His right hand was trembling slightly, but he still held himself back and did not make a move.
"What this old man hates the most in his life is this kind of shameless person who plays with kindness. Since this old man has seen it today, I will definitely not let it go." Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Uncle Zhang..."
s.h.i.+ Qian seemed to have sensed something and roared, his handsome face filled with despair. At the same time, a cracking sound rang out, and Lu Chen used some force to break his neck. He then lifted his arm, throwing s.h.i.+ Qian"s body towards Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye took it over and glanced at it. His face was twisted, but he didn"t say anything. He just waved his hand and walked out of the cave. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people had disappeared without a trace.
However, as if he had done something insignificant, Lu Chen smiled and turned towards Tang Huan.
Li He and the rest held their breaths with rapt attention. When their gazes landed on Tang Huan, their faces were filled with shock. Not only did he possess a powerful weapon that could kill vengeful spirits, but the old servant beside him also possessed such a terrifying strength. First, he forced Zhang Ye to retreat weirdly, then he forced Zhang Ye to hand over an item, and finally crushed s.h.i.+ Qian to death in front of Zhang Ye.
What was even more inconceivable was that even though Zhang Ye was a Stage Seven Martial Master, he did not resist at all. It was as if he feared the power behind the old man?
