Chapter 732: Chapter 704: That Kid Is Pretty Good

Zhong Tian was on patrol within the company.

He really enjoyed his current life and relished it as well.

He felt that the eldest senior brother had been exceptionally good to him.

Previously, in the village, even though he also felt that his life was fulfilling, he had too much idle time. Aside from practicing martial arts, he would spend his days wandering around the village.

He was grateful to his masters for giving him a new lease on life, for endowing him with strength, allowing him to survive well in this world.

But at the same time, there was another addition to the list of people he was thankful to.

That was his senior brother, Li Chen.

Now, Zhong Tian felt his life was even more fulfilling than before. Apart from practicing martial arts, he had to go to work, and during his time off, he could go online, stroll through the streets, experience the vibe of a big city, and buy some food he liked.

Such a lifestyle was something he couldn’t enjoy back in Panlong Village.

Therefore, he was very grateful to his eldest senior brother, Li Chen, for giving him this opportunity. Moreover, he was also striving hard, hoping to be of help to his senior brother when needed.

Zhong Tian wasn’t foolish; on the contrary, he was very smart. It was just that he preferred to keep his intelligence concealed on a regular basis.

Similarly, he knew how to repay kindness.

When the old man had brought him back to Panlong Village, he hadn’t just seen his talent, but also valued his character.

If one’s heart wasn’t in the right place, no matter how strong their power, it would only cause harm.

Zhong Tian could feel that he might make a breakthrough soon. Even Li Chen didn’t know that Zhong Tian’s strength had unknowingly approached the threshold of the Yellow Rank.

He felt that he was just a little bit away, perhaps he could step into what his senior brother referred to as the Yellow Realm.

That was a completely different realm.

"I have to work harder!" Zhong Tian silently encouraged himself.

However, just then, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hmm? Senior brother, what’s up?" Finding a corner, Zhong Tian answered the call.

"Zhong Tian, senior brother has something to take care of. Today, you are responsible for taking your sister-in-law home. Also, while I’m not home, you help me protect her well. She must not come to any harm," Li Chen’s voice came through the phone.

"Sure, senior brother, rest assured, I’ve got this covered!" Zhong Tian patted his chest and said.

Even though he knew Li Chen couldn’t see him, he still subconsciously made a gesture of assurance.

"I’ll trouble you to take extra care then."

Zhong Tian was about to speak, but he found that there was already a ’beep beep’ busy signal from the phone. Scratching his head, he walked towards Lin Yi’s office.

For some reason, he felt something was off about Li Chen’s voice.

"Cough cough cough!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen coughed violently a few times, and with each cough, drops of blood seeped from his mouth again.

This time, his injuries were seriously severe.

The fight between him and Yao Chou, strictly speaking, had no winner or loser.

But he knew very well that if Yao Chou hadn’t left, the one to die at the end of their fight would certainly have been him.

He was seriously injured, and likewise, Yao Chou was no less hurt.

To be hit squarely by the Seven Absolute Legs was no small matter.

And on Li Chen’s right chest, a terrifying fist imprint had appeared.

The rib cage was indented and pierced the internal organs directly. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and sealed off the acupuncture points in his body, he would most likely be a corpse by now.

"That guy..."

Thinking of the expression on Yao Chou’s face when he left, Li Chen couldn’t help but show a strange smile.

"If I had killed you, I reckon I would be lying here today as well. For the sake of my own life, let’s end it here for today. I’ve got other things to do, so I’ll be taking off!" As Yao Chou spoke, he turned and ran like mad, as if he was being chased by all sorts of demons and monsters.

"If we don’t have any other grievances, I think we could become friends," said Li Chen with a smile playing on his lips.

Upon returning to the villa, Li Chen took the Red Moon and two White Lotus Seeds, and despite his injuries, he drove straight towards Cold Pool.

However, what Li Chen didn’t know was that at that very moment, Yao Chou was also muttering about him.

"Easy, easy!"

In the hotel room, Yao Chou was shouting and hollering.

Next to him, Jiang Bingyu was carefully dressing his wounds.

"Don’t move!" Jiang Bingyu said angrily as she looked at Yao Chou.

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Jiang Bingyu get angry, Yao Chou immediately stopped yelling and spoke timidly.

"This kid, he’s really a monster! He’s only at the Yellow Realm, but he managed to leave me this badly injured. I have no clue how he trained," Yao Chou said with a bitter smile as he looked at his wounds.

"Who asked you to look for a fight when you were bored?" Jiang Bingyu couldn’t help but glare as she heard Yao Chou’s words.

"I was trying to avenge you..." Yao Chou said softly.

"Who asked you to avenge me? You brought this on yourself!" As she spoke, Jiang Bingyu slapped Yao Chou’s wound, causing him to wince in pain.

The two of them had been good friends since childhood, and could be considered childhood sweethearts. It’s just that as they grew older, Yao Chou wanted to take their friendship to the next level, which Jiang Bingyu found hard to accept at the time.

Deep down, she really did care about Yao Chou.

"Although I’m injured, that kid definitely got a taste of his own medicine, so consider your vendetta avenged, haha... Ouch! Go easy!" Yao Chou was boasting when suddenly Jiang Bingyu pulled the bandage tightly, turning his triumphant exclamation into a sharp intake of breath.

"I’ve never seen such a freak like you, so badly hurt and still having the mood to mock others," Jiang Bingyu said, rolling her eyes.

"But what I’m saying is true!" Yao Chou hurriedly said. "That said, I actually think that guy isn’t half bad. If he hadn’t injured you, I even feel like we could have become friends."

"Can you not jump from one thought to another so quickly?" Jiang Bingyu snorted coldly, and after she finished bandaging Yao Chou, she slapped his wound again, making him grimace and scrunch up his face in pain before she turned and walked away.

...

Meanwhile, at that very moment, two strange individuals appeared on the streets of Linchuan.

Although they looked no different from ordinary people, there was a unique aura about them that instinctively made others want to keep their distance.

Their cold presence was such that anyone standing beside them for too long would feel an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

Moreover, their gaze carried an indifferent contempt for all living beings.

The phrase ’mortals keep out’ seemed to be inscribed on their faces, intimidating anyone who saw them.

"The last message from the Saint Heir came from here."

"Finally, we’ve arrived. Let’s split up and investigate."

"How do we do that?"

"We find all the strong ones in this city, and that should clear things up."

"Right."

Conversing, the two stepped into the crowd.
