My gorgeous wife -
Chapter 734 - 706: I Owe You a Favor!
Chapter 734: Chapter 706: I Owe You a Favor!
"Your strength is commendable, being a woman and having cultivated to Yellow Rank at such a young age, it must not have been easy, right?"
The man looked at Jiang Bingyu, still speaking in a calm, indifferent tone, "However, you are only at Yellow Rank after all. You are not as strong as I am, so you must submit."
"That is the reason you want to tell me."
Jiang Bingyu struggled to lift her head; she did not know how strong this man was, but she understood that he was an overwhelmingly powerful presence she couldn’t resist.
Even Yao Chou might not be able to deal with him.
Yet, a flame kindled in her heart.
"I don’t know where he is."
Jiang Bingyu said, looking at the man, then slowly turned her head, remaining silent.
She indeed did not know where Li Chen was at the moment. Even with the intelligence resources she had utilized, she couldn’t find out his current location. The last bit of news she received about Li Chen was that he had left the city.
But, she didn’t want to say it.
If there was a reason, it was because, although Li Chen was annoying, the man before her was even more repulsive.
"For a young genius like you, I imagine even those Ancient Elder families would find it hard to raise someone like you?" The man slowly shook his head, "What a pity."
"I guess you are so fearless because you’re relying on your family’s power," the man looked at Jiang Bingyu with sympathetic eyes, "I’m sorry to tell you, Holy Mountain has always been fearless and invincible. Even if your family truly comes for revenge, I am not afraid."
"However, you might not have the chance anymore."
"Remember my name, I’m Rock," the man said, and without further questioning Jiang Bingyu, he directly struck her chest under her shocked gaze.
"Boom!"
Jiang Bingyu’s body instantly flew backward like a broken kite sailing into the distance.
Without a second glance at Jiang Bingyu, Rock immediately turned and left the area.
It seemed to him that what had just occurred was a trivial matter.
Soon after Rock had left, a car suddenly passed by, as if sensing something, and promptly stopped.
A man appeared, looking around with a puzzled expression, and soon noticed Jiang Bingyu lying in a nearby corner.
"Huh?"
On seeing Jiang Bingyu’s condition, Li Chen’s expression changed drastically, and in a flash, he was by her side.
"She’s still breathing." He sighed softly, without dwelling on his confusion, and quickly took out a water flask and gave Jiang Bingyu a drink.
This was the Cold Pool Water he had brought from the Cold Pool; after Jiang Bingyu drank the Cold Pool Water, Li Chen immediately placed his hand on her, channeled some True Qi into her body to protect her heart meridian, and then swiftly carried her into the car.
"What happened to you, ending up so badly injured?"
In the car, having drunk the Cold Pool Water and under the nourishment of Li Chen’s True Qi, Jiang Bingyu finally regained some consciousness. Hearing Li Chen’s words, she shook her head slightly; she was so weak that she couldn’t even speak.
"Alright, don’t talk now. I’ll take you to get treated first." Seeing Jiang Bingyu’s frail state, Li Chen shook his head slightly. Fortunately, the villa was not very far from here; otherwise, carrying a woman who seemed to be drugged would give others the wrong impression.
The vehicle quickly headed toward the villa, as Jiang Bingyu was still seriously injured, Li Chen deliberately sped up.
However, just at that moment, a figure once again appeared on the road.
Why say ’once again’?
Because, this person was Yao Chou.
He approached the car and knocked on the window.
"Last time we fought, I thought you were pretty decent, so this time I came..."
Yao Chou had not finished his sentence when he saw Li Chen open the car door.
However, what made Yao Chou seethe with anger was not just seeing Li Chen, but also seeing Jiang Bingyu weakly lying on the passenger seat.
"You!!"
"Wait, listen to me explain!" Seeing Yao Chou’s expression change, Li Chen hastily spoke.
However, before he could finish, Yao Chou’s attack had already arrived.
Leaping up, Yao Chou delivered a sweeping kick at Li Chen in midair.
Feeling the fierce momentum, Li Chen reluctantly raised his arms.
"Bang!!"
Li Chen’s body shifted sideways for about five or six meters, then he stood firmly on the spot.
And Yao Chou, after a single kick, landed on the ground using the rebound force.
"You’ve broken through?" Yao Chou frowned, looking at the unmoved Li Chen. From their brief exchange, he clearly felt a change in Li Chen.
"By chance."
Yao Chou’s expression chilled, "Even if you’ve broken through, for daring to harm Bing Yu, I will make you pay!!"
"Just listen to me explain..."
"Boom!!"
Before Li Chen could finish his words, Yao Chou’s attack, intense as a storm, had already struck.
"Humph!"
Even Clay Men have a breaking point. After being repeatedly interrupted by Yao Chou without a chance to finish explaining, anger had surged in Li Chen’s heart.
Was being a good person now a mistake?
Barely resisting Yao Chou’s barrage of attacks and forcing him back, Li Chen’s knees slightly bent as abundant True Qi surged into his legs, tensing his muscles instantly.
Accompanied by a thunderous noise, Li Chen charged at Yao Chou like a cannonball.
Seeing Li Chen’s attack, Yao Chou was fearless, throwing a punch at the approaching Li Chen.
However, just as they were about to collide, Li Chen suddenly changed his trajectory, switching his fist to a palm, and abruptly elevated from the ground to place a hand on Yao Chou’s palm.
Using the impact force from Yao Chou’s fist, Li Chen somersaulted to land behind him, sweeping a kick directly at Yao Chou’s waist.
"Thud!!"
Instantly, Yao Chou was flung away by the kick.
"Damn!" Li Chen, aiming precisely, struck Yao Chou’s nerve bundle. With that kick, Yao Chou felt his entire half-body turn numb and his strength significantly obstructed.
Before he could regain his composure to counterattack, Li Chen was already on him again.
Twisting his body, he swept directly towards Yao Chou’s legs.
Still numbed, Yao Chou couldn’t dodge in time and was hit squarely, losing his balance and falling to one side.
By this time, Li Chen’s follow-up blow had already arrived, a giant fist looming before Yao Chou.
"Bang!!"
Having advanced to the Mystic Rank, Li Chen’s strength had transformed, not comparable to before. The punch sent Yao Chou flying backward, spitting blood.
"As expected, having broken through to the Mystic Rank, my strength is completely beyond comparison to before," said Yao Chou as he slowly rose from the ground, his gaze darkening while looking at Li Chen.
He vividly felt that Li Chen had now become frighteningly powerful.
He recognized his limitations. Although in their previous fight Li Chen was weaker, Li Chen’s combat experience was far richer. Moreover, while only at the Yellow Rank, Li Chen’s True Qi was tremendously thick.
That’s why they could fight to such an extent. He had won last time, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
Now, Li Chen had become a Mystic Rank Expert just like him.
"Even if you have reached the Mystic Rank, I will make you pay! I, Yao Chou, am a man of my word!"
As Yao Chou stood up, his True Qi slowly gathered within him, and Li Chen could feel a dangerous aura emanating from Yao Chou.
He had felt this sensation once before.
It was this very move that had seriously injured him, forcibly breaking through his Seven Absolute Legs, leaving barely anything to hit Yao Chou.
"Mo Li..."
"Stop it!"
Before Yao Chou could fully build up his momentum, his build-up was interrupted by a voice.
Turning in surprise, Yao Chou saw that it was Jiang Bingyu who had spoken.
Looking at Yao Chou, Jiang Bingyu’s face was filled with annoyance, "You big fool! If it hadn’t been for Li Chen, I would be dead by now! Do you wish I had died sooner?"
"What?!"
Startled by Jiang Bingyu’s words, Yao Chou was totally flabbergasted.
"It was him... who saved you?" Yao Chou spoke in a daze, then turned to Li Chen, "Why didn’t you say that earlier?"
Li Chen looked speechlessly at the suddenly non-combatant Yao Chou, thinking to himself, I would have said it if you had given me a chance!
Seeming to realize something, Yao Chou lifted a hand and slapped himself hard on the face.
The slap was harsh, leaving several distinct finger marks on his handsome face.
"Um... Brother Li Chen, I apologize, I was mistaken this time!" Yao Chou suddenly bowed to Li Chen and said.
Seeing Yao Chou’s gesture, Li Chen actually began to feel fond of him.
Aside from their stances, Li Chen thought that Yao Chou clearly had a straightforward and candid nature, a speak-your-mind kind of person. Without other conflicts, such a person would indeed make a great friend.
"It’s no big deal, I wasn’t injured, anyway," Li Chen shrugged and said.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Yao Chou became visibly embarrassed, "I can’t believe it was you who saved Bing Yu. I’m really sorry about this."
Looking at Li Chen, Yao Chou patted his chest and said, "But this time, I owe you a favor. Brother Li Chen, rest assured, I will definitely repay this favor whenever I can!"
"It was a small matter, no need for a favor," Li Chen waved his hand and said.
"No, I must repay it!" Yao Chou insisted firmly.
Li Chen smiled wryly, his head throbbing. Could this guy get any more stubborn?
