The man paused for a while, his expression slowly returning to calm, but his gaze toward Su Chen held a touch of malice, "You little brat, how dare you ruin my plans!"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, "Finally showing your true colors? What makes you think you can flaunt your power before me now?"

The man suddenly burst into a string of long laughter, his voice shrill and hoarse. Abruptly, he glared coldly at Su Chen, his eyes tinged with blood, "What makes me dare? This does!"

Whoosh!

A violent whistling sound!

The man suddenly threw a silver hidden weapon from his tightly clenched palm, but he hadn't expected that Su Chen, who was already prepared, would tilt his head to evade the sneak attack!

Then, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, Su Chen extended his right arm, viciously grasping the man's neck, pinning him against the trunk!

"Ah!"

The man let out a miserable scream, his face turning a purplish blue instantly. Su Chen regarded his terrified eyes with a chilling air, coldly saying, "You thought you could ambush us alone. Tell me, where are your companions hiding?"

"I...won't talk!"

The man replied slowly, his face turning crimson.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, lessening his grip and leaning over the man, pressing, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you? Killing you now wouldn't violate any rules!"

"Heh heh... Go ahead, kill me, killing me would liberate me..."

The man closed his eyes, speaking as if relieved.

Su Chen was taken aback, carefully examining the man's expression, finding no trace of deceit.

Could it be, he really doesn't want to live? But why, wasn't he clearly trying to ambush me?

Su Chen released his grip, returning to a calm demeanor, though his inner doubts only grew. This man seemed to harbor other secrets, otherwise, why would he have a look of someone indifferent to life, ready to be slaughtered?

Both wanting to ambush others and yet indifferent to his own life, what kind of person is this?

"Why not kill me?"

The man, eyes closed, unstable breath asked.

Su Chen shook his head, expression indifferent. He seemed to see a kind of self-destructive attitude from the man. He despised such people, yet also pitied them.

"I don't kill those without the ability to fight back."

"You!"

The man, furious, straightened up to attack Su Chen, but Su Chen extended a leg, pressing it against his chest, forcing him down.

He lifted his foot, his tone turning very bland, "I don't care who you are or who you were, but threaten us again, and I will kill you, understood?"

The man gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, "Damn it, you actually look down on me!"

"I don't look down on you, it's you who looks down on yourself."

Su Chen turned away, walking in the direction where Siger Meiruo had left. Watching his back, the man pounded the ground with a fierce punch, letting out a roar of indignation.

"Why! Why do you all trample on my dignity, why?"

Su Chen halted, hearing a disdainful voice in his ear, "Because you are a lowly bastard not fit to live in this world of survival of the fittest~" Su Chen turned around, seeing a cold-faced, handsome man, standing calmly beside the other man.

"Who are you?"

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, questioning.

The man bit a thin blade of grass, an expression of contempt. His appearance was very handsome, with almost perfect features, skin exuding a hint of sickly paleness, lips slightly curved, carrying a clear sneer. Tall and slender, wearing a black tight-fitting suit, chestnut long hair trailing behind, adding an aura of enchantment.

Upon hearing Su Chen's question, he elegantly spat out the blade of grass, slowly walking forward. Without reason, Su Chen felt an immense pressure from this man.

"I admit you're formidable, possessing the strength of a one-star Beast Master at such a young age."

As he walked, the man spoke, his footsteps delicate, like a cat treading silently on the ground.

"So what?"

Su Chen was on full alert, starting to slightly clench his fists.

"Nothing much. I initially thought this trash could take care of one or two for me, but you ruined it."

The man looked regretful, "Though I hadn't pinned high hopes on him completing that task, after all, trash cannot be entrusted with important tasks. Now, I'll have to personally deal with you~"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than he leapt towards Su Chen like a leopard!

He wielded no weapons, yet Su Chen sensed an exceptionally powerful threat.

Without hesitation, he slightly swerved, raising his right hand to his shoulder, drawing out the Sword of Bloodlight with a clang! Almost the moment he drew the sword, the man was upon him, a fierce punch coming directly at him!

"Break!"

The man grunted!

Before the sword could swing, the heavy punch was already before him. Su Chen had no choice but to block the initial attack with the sword body. But he was too careless; his opponent, daring to launch an attack bare-handed, wouldn't be fazed by this level of defense.

The punch twisted upon impact with the sword, a terrifying piercing force instantaneously passed through the sword, rippling like a wave through Su Chen's wrist and even the whole right arm.

He grunted, his entire body knocked airborne by the force, retreating several meters midair, about to crash on the ground!

"Damn it!"

Su Chen shouted, gripping the sword with both hands, channeling all his strength, thrusting fiercely forward. A strong azure light burst forth, forming a semi-circular shield around him, scattering the air in disarray!

The man's expression changed slightly, feeling his punch rebounded, hastily pulling back, pushing off continuously, then executing a spinning backfist to attack Su Chen from a different angle.

This time, Su Chen had bought enough time to swing the sword. He sneered coldly, the sword tip flipping, turning a slash into an upward stroke, simultaneously infusing a powerful wind force into the sword hilt. Once the Bloodlight Sword hits, it would instantly carve out ghastly wounds on the opponent.

The man with a grim face, leapt away, retreating swiftly, with scarlet flames emerging from his body. Su Chen felt the air becoming instantly sweltering!

"Star Rain Explosion Flame Fist!"

The man, retreating to a tree, pushed off the trunk with both feet, hurtling again towards Su Chen! Flames blazed fiercely on him, especially on his right fist, where a ring of three fireballs formed an attack wave.

The rising temperature grew higher, the man's face illuminated red by the flames, showing a crazed smile. Su Chen clutched the sword in an upward stroke, confronting the mighty blow head-on!

Boom!

Flames splashed everywhere, Su Chen felt sharp pain in his wrist; the longsword in his hand was sent flying!

The man's right fist, with its three fireballs, constantly shifted positions, generating an exceptionally strong impact. Without the sword, Su Chen could only retreat while blocking with his fists. But, not adept at martial arts, how could he be a match for the man?

The right fist exploded between Su Chen's crossed arms, making him howl in pain. A flash of murder intent in the man's eyes, and his right fist, now with one remaining fireball, suddenly changed direction, smashing into the ground!

With a resounding boom, the ground caved in! Flames penetrated the crust, instantly kicking up a storm of rubble!

Everything ahead was murky, Su Chen's heart trembled, retreating urgently.

"Die, boy!"

The man's voice came from mid-air, his legs entangled, emitting a bright red flame. His entire body slanted downward at a forty-five-degree angle aiming straight for Su Chen's heart!

No escape, only to confront directly. Su Chen roared furiously, his palms suddenly opening, two violently rotating blue wind vortexes appearing in his palms simultaneously!

The vortexes rotated at high speed in opposite directions, causing a turbulent air current, imposing an extremely discordant force on the man's fiercely descending leg, causing his face to change drastically!

"What kind of power is this?"

He cried out, but it was already too late!

In the instant he lost his slight balance, Su Chen rose from the ground, soaring at a height slightly above the man's slant, suddenly manifesting a blue short blade in his right palm!

Overlooking the man, he thrust out the blade without warning, instantly exploding a vividly red blood blossom in the air!

The man emitted a tragic scream, his entire body losing balance, plummeting towards the ground!

Bang!

He crashed heavily onto the ground, spewing a mist of blood from his mouth upward, staining the ground and his face red. The man leaning on the trunk, stared blankly at the scene before him, his expression incredibly horrified.
