From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

The assassin hired by Zou Shichang?

Not like.

If Zou Shichang sent someone to assassinate him, there shouldn't have been only one person, and there was no need for such a furtive manner.

Or perhaps he's just a simple thief.

Seeing that Chen Shi and his group were from out of town, they decided to steal under cover of night.

But if he's a thief, why is he carrying a long sword, looking like he's about to kill someone?

"Damn it."

Chen Shi gritted his teeth, his face grim.

He's very angry right now.

"You scoundrel! Prepare to die!"

Having been exposed, the man let out a cold shout, flicked his longsword, and thrust it straight at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi sat on the edge of the bed without moving, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It's sizzling!

The longsword stopped abruptly an inch from Chen Shi's throat. Chen Shi gripped the sword with his hands covered in dragon scales.

The woman's expression changed, but no matter how hard she tried, the sword tip could not penetrate any further.

"It's a woman."

Although she was dressed as a man, her pretty face, and especially her shapely figure, were so striking that even a blind person could tell.

"So what if she's a woman! I'll skin her alive!"

Xiao Fengxiao snorted coldly, her eyes blazing with fury as she looked at the man.

If it weren't for this person's interference, she and Chen Shi would have already entered Hong Kong.

"As Second Grandmother commands."

Chen Shi smiled and suddenly exerted force in his palm.

Clang!

The longsword, forged from fine steel, shattered into several pieces upon impact.

The man's expression changed drastically again. Such powerful palm strikes! It must be more than just a seventh-grade martial artist.

Lost in thought, Chen Shi suddenly stood up and slapped him across the face.

The man's eyes widened, and without thinking, he instinctively crossed his arms in front of his chest to block.

boom!

But the next moment, with a muffled thud, it was as if he had been hit by a mountain, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

"puff!"

He fell to the ground, and just as he was about to get up, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A sharp pain shot through both arms; not only were his internal organs damaged by the shock, but both forearms were also broken.

Such powerful, terrifying strength.

I never expected the Chang Le Gang to have such a master.

"You scoundrel! Release my young lady, or I'll haunt you even in death!"

As Chen Shi approached, the woman gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill him with her gaze.

"Miss? Which one is your Miss?"

Chen Shi was taken aback, then pointed to Xiao Fengxiao sitting by the bed, and then to Yun'er lying inside.

"Bah! How could such a shameless whore compare to my young lady!"

The woman snorted coldly, her face full of disdain.

"Tear her tongue out!"

Xiao Fengxiao's phoenix eyes flashed coldly as he pointed at the woman and shouted sternly.

She was already furious that he had ruined her plans, and now he dared to call her a whore; he was simply courting death.

The woman wanted to retort, but when she saw Xiao Fengxiao, she was instantly struck by his imposing presence! She was surprised; how could this woman have such an aura? She was completely unlike an ordinary courtesan.

"There seems to be some misunderstanding here."

Looking the woman over, Chen Shi chuckled and then asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you? Why did you attempt an assassination in the middle of the night? Explain yourself clearly!"

Why should I...?

"If you don't talk, then you can die."

"I……"

The woman paused again, and looking at Chen Shi's indifferent gaze, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

She knew that Chen Shi's actions were not merely a threat.

Looking at Xiao Fengxiao sitting there, although she was dressed in coarse clothes, her dignified and noble aura was impossible to hide, and she was clearly not what she had initially thought.

It seems she made a mistake.

"My name is Peng Yan."

"He is indeed a bit dark-skinned."

"you!"

Holding the inkstone, he was speechless with anger, but he didn't dare to argue with Chen Shi. He sighed and continued.

"I accompanied the young lady out, but unexpectedly we encountered thieves from the Chang Le Gang..."

The Chang Le Gang is a Jianghu gang in Wuxing Prefecture with two to three hundred members, all of whom are at least ninth-rank martial artists, making them quite influential in Wuxing Prefecture.

Although they are a martial arts sect, they don't usually act as heroes; instead, they engage in robbery and extortion, making them even worse than Du Yueming and his ilk.

The local people had long suffered under the influence of the Changle Gang, but because of their large numbers and influence, the government could not do anything about it and had always turned a blind eye.

This morning, Peng Yan and his companions were passing through this area when they were ambushed and robbed by the Chang Le Gang. Not only were all their valuables stolen, but even the young lady was abducted.

He was skilled in martial arts, which allowed him to escape by sheer luck.

Instead of leaving alone, he lingered around, intending to rescue his young mistress.

In the afternoon, I suddenly saw Chen Shi buying food on the street.

The clothes Chen Shi was wearing were the attire of the Chang Le Gang!

Originally intending to capture Chen Shi to find out about the young lady, he unexpectedly made a blunder and was seriously injured by Chen Shi with a single palm strike.

"So that's how it is."

Chen Shi nodded. No wonder when he went out to buy things before, the vendors looked at him with fear and some didn't even dare to take his money.

So they think he's a member of the Chang Le Gang.

Looking at the clothes he was wearing, he couldn't help but shake his head. He had to change them, otherwise he didn't know what other trouble he might cause.

When it got light, he went to find the pawnshop owner and sold him all sorts of clothes, taking advantage of the fact that he was from out of town.

"That's somewhat understandable."

Chen Shi turned to Xiao Fengxiao and said with a smile.

"Since she's already suffered enough, we might as well just let her go."

"Hmph, you're quite the chivalrous one!"

Xiao Fengxiao snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Although their plans were ruined and they were furious, it was ultimately a misunderstanding. Besides, they weren't injured, and killing Pengyan wouldn't have been worth it.

Then he waved his hand and snorted coldly.

"Get rid of them quickly!"

After that, she and Chen Shihao continued.

Chen Shi understood, smiled and nodded, then turned back to hold the inkstone.

"My wife is magnanimous and won't hold it against you. You may leave."

"Pah, who's your wife?"

Xiao Fengxiao spat lightly, and the resentment in her heart instantly subsided by seven or eight parts.

Thank you.

He held up the inkstone to express his gratitude, then struggled to stand up.

But just as he reached the door, he stopped, suddenly turned around, and knelt down in front of Chen Shi.

"Please, great hero, save my young lady!"

"Um?"

Chen Shi was taken aback. What was this chapter?

Xiao Fengxiao rolled her eyes, speechless. She'd been stuck with him. Sure enough, you can't be a good person.

Looks like there's no chance tonight.

"My wife, what do you see?"

Chen Shi smiled bitterly and turned to Xiao Fengxiao.

"Outside, you're the boss; you're in charge."

Xiao Fengxiao gave a light snort, without directly refusing.

"Great hero! With your cultivation level, you can surely rescue my young lady! I beg you, please have mercy!"

Holding the inkstone, he kowtowed with a pleading expression, and then spoke.

"If you rescue my young lady, our master will reward you handsomely to repay your great kindness!"

"What's this talk about repaying a debt of gratitude?"

Chen Shi smiled, shook his head, and said in a deep voice.

"It was just that I saw injustice on the road."

This matter has nothing to do with Chen Shi and his group, but since they are wandering the martial world, they should naturally do some things that people in the martial world do!

"Great hero, you've agreed! That's wonderful! Thank you, great hero! Thank you, great hero!"

Holding the inkstone, his face was full of excitement, and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's going on...?"

With a soft cry, Yun'er woke up, rubbing her sore neck, and looked at Peng Yan kneeling there kowtowing with a puzzled expression.

"Who is this person?"

"Why did you wake up so quickly?"

Xiao Fengxiao frowned, her face full of resentment again.

"They're all picking on me!"
