Chapter 19 Critical Hit Card
The old man and Wang Chen faced each other, both of them sizing up the other. Wang Chen knew he was at a disadvantage - the old man was an innate realm cultivator, while he was only at the Tenth stage of the Enlightenment Realm. However, he was not going to go down without a fight.
"You're pretty good for a Enlightment realm cultivator," the old man taunted. "But you're no match for me."
Wang Chen continued to dodge and block the old man's attacks, looking for an opening to strike. The old man taunted him, "Is this all you've got, kid? You can't even land a single blow on me!"
Wang Chen replied, "I'm just getting started, old man."
The old man lunged at Wang Chen, swinging his sword with deadly precision. Wang Chen deftly dodged the attack and countered with a quick punch, which landed squarely on the old man's chest. The old man grunted in pain, but he quickly recovered and continued his assault.
Wang Chen blocked the old man's next attack with his own sword, but the force of the blow was so strong that he was pushed back several steps. The old man pressed his advantage, relentlessly attacking with his sword. Wang Chen dodged and weaved, trying to find an opening, but the old man was too skilled.
Wang Chen could feel the pressure mounting as he struggled to defend against the old man's attacks. He knew that he couldn't keep this up forever - sooner or later, he would make a mistake and the old man would strike him down.
Just then, Ku Lei arrived at the scene, accompanied by other members of the Ku family. He looked around, trying to find Yue Mingluan, but he was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, he heard the sound of metal clashing, and he turned to see Wang Chen fighting against the old man.
'How can this be?' Ku Lei thought to himself. "Wang Chen is just a nobody, a piece of trash. And yet he's fighting against grandpa who is an innate realm cultivator?" It was unthinkable. But there was no denying what he was seeing - Wang Chen was holding his own against the old man.
Wang Chen saw Ku Lei and got an idea. He used his cloud step technique to disappear from the old man's view and reappeared behind Ku Lei.
"Hey Ku Lei, long time no see!" Wang Chen taunted. Before Ku Lei could react, Wang Chen attacked him, aiming for his weak spots.
The other members of the Ku family quickly moved to protect Ku Lei, but Wang Chen was too fast. He darted in and out, striking with lightning speed. The Ku family members were no match for him - they were all at the foundation-building realm or lower.
Wang Chen used cloud step technique again and appeared in front of unconscious Ku Lei, picking him up and pointing his sword towards Ku Lei's neck as he looked towards the grandfather of Ku Lei who had just appeared. This was too fast for Ku Lei's grandfather as he didn't expect Wang Chen to have a movement technique. Wang Chen had not used the movement technique in their fight. He threatened the old man, "You better back down or I will kill Ku Lei."
The old man unconsciously took a few steps back, thinking that Ku Lei was his only remaining descendant. Ku Lei's parents were killed because they provoked someone they shouldn't have. Previously, Wang Chen had killed Ku Vin, who hadn't married yet, so Ku Lei was the old man's last descendant and he loved his grandson very much.
Wang Chen was surprised that the old man had actually backed down. He suddenly threw Ku Lei in the air and launched a powerful attack on him.
Wang Chen's attack was swift and powerful, and as Ku Lei flew through the air, the old man's heart sank. He had always known that his family's practice of provokism would one day lead to tragedy, but he had never imagined it would come to this.
As he watched Wang Chen launch his attack, the old man knew that he had to act quickly if he wanted to save his grandson. He summoned all of his strength and charged towards Ku Lei, using his own body to shield the boy from harm.
The impact of Wang Chen's attack was fierce, but the old man's innate realm cultivation allowed him to withstand it without serious injury. He landed on the ground with a thud, cradling Ku Lei protectively in his arms.
He then placed Ku Lei safely on the ground and glanced in Wang Chen's direction with intense killing intent in his eyes. However, he found no one there and roared loudly, "Where did you run, you coward?"
On the side, Wang Chen was running at full speed away from Ku Jing mountain using cloud step technique. He knew that he had to get away as quickly as possible before the old man changed his mind and came after him.
As Wang Chen scanned the area, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief knowing that he had escaped the Ku family's grasp for now. Wang Chen saw a town nearby and hurriedly moved toward the town.The town seemed bustling with activity and he quickly made his way towards it, weaving through the crowd to avoid being detected. As he arrived in the town, he scanned the area for a suitable place to hide and decided on an empty house.
As he stepped inside the house, he took out the bottle in which he had stored the Myriad Spirit Milk, eager to finally absorb it and increase his cultivation level then deal with the Ku family.
However, just as he was about to open the bottle, the system suddenly reminded him to check his notifications.
[Host it's better to check the notification you got after looting the Myriad Spirit Milk]
"Okay system show me the notifications" Wang Chen became confused but didn't mind as the system is only trying to help him.
