Chapter 227: I Only Need One Of You Anyway (1)
"You knew about us following you; you tricked us?!" Ma Chen exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief and anger.
Chen Tian chuckled, his mischievous smile widening. "Now that you\'ve caught on, let\'s have some fun together," he replied, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
\'My lucky day, if I kill both of them, I can\'t believe I can\'t raise my cultivation to the 5th Stage.\' Chen Tian wickedly thought in his mind.
Ma Chen and He Hu exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.
The plan for a sneak attack appears to have failed, and they are now faced with a cunning opponent.
\'Damn it, I wanted to end this quickly,\' Ma Chen thought to himself.
However, it seemed that their target was prepared.
"Humph, so what if you knew? In the end, you\'re just trash in the Qi Refinement Realm. What can you do?" He Hu muttered under his breath.
With that, his cultivation began to surge, his aura growing stronger and more intimidating.
The aura of a 4th Stage Meridian Opening Realm Cultivator emanated from him, causing the surrounding air to crackle with energy.
As Ma Chen observed the surge in He Hu\'s cultivation, he also noticed a flicker of arrogance in Chen Tian\'s eyes.
He frowned, seeing that Chen Tian wasn\'t scared. Despite the surge in He Hu\'s cultivation and the intimidating aura surrounding him, Chen Tian remained unperturbed.
Something was wrong here, and he couldn\'t put his finger on it.
His aura also started to radiate a powerful energy, stronger than the intensity of He Hu\'s aura.
"You should have died quietly when we gave you the chance for pity," Ma Chen muttered under his breath.
He had planned for a quick death for Chen Tian, but it seemed like the arrogant Chen Tian was not going down without a fight.
"Brother Ma Chen, you don\'t need to talk so much. He\'s a dead man in the end," He Hu said, his voice filled with confidence.
Chen Tian just smiled in response; he already planned to kill one of them and leave the other for later.
From how they were talking, it was clear that neither Ma Chen nor He Hu knew him.
The only other way was for someone to send them to deal with him, but Chen Tian couldn\'t think of anyone who would want him dead.
Well, except Li Mei Ling and Wang Hao, the two couples who had a grudge against him, or Qiu Xufeng, whom he had defeated in the Bloodline Trial, or maybe Zou Yang, whom he had humiliated; also, Hu Jianyu was a suspect.
From their encounter, Chen Tian could feel that the guy had bad intentions towards him and Su Bingxin.
"I really do have many enemies," Chen Tian thought to himself. It seemed like everywhere he turned, there were people who held a grudge against him for one reason or another.
Damn it, he just arrived in this world, and he already has this many enemies. Chen Tian couldn\'t help but think about the future.
Chen Tian was so deep in thought that he forgot about both Ma Chen and He Hu, who wanted to kill him.
Seeing that he was not paying attention to them, He Hu frowned as anger flashed in his eyes. "Damn bastard! Do you think you can just ignore us? I will teach you a lesson you won\'t forget."
He Hu lunged forward, his fists aimed directly at Chen Tian\'s face.
This time he used all his cultivation and unleashed a powerful punch, intending to kill Chen Tian in one blow.
However, before the punch could connect, Chen Tian disappeared into thin air, leaving He Hu and Ma Chen dumbfounded.
In that split second, Chen Tian appeared behind both He Hu and Ma Chen, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Can\'t you see I\'m thinking about something?" Chen Tian\'s voice was laced with amusement as he casually flicked his wrist.
Two streaks of golden energy shot out from his fingertips, each homing in on the unsuspecting He Hu and Ma Chen with unerring accuracy.
Both were caught completely off guard.
He Hu\'s eyes widened in disbelief as the golden energy slammed into his chest, sending him flying back through the air like a ragdoll.
Ma Chen, barely faster, managed to raise both hands covered in Earth Qi in a futile attempt to block the golden energy, but it crashed through his defenses like a battering ram, leaving him sprawled on the ground, coughing blood.
As He Hu groaned in pain, struggling to his feet, Chen Tian turned his attention to Ma Chen, who lay motionless on the ground.
"Don\'t worry, you\'ll live, for now," he said dismissively, his voice devoid of any concern. "I still need to know who sent you and why you were after me." Chen Tian\'s eyes narrowed as he approached He Hu.
He Hu, his face contorted in a mixture of pain and rage, glared at Chen Tian. "You...you will pay for this!"
Wind Element crackled around He Hu as he raised his hand, a gust of wind swirling around him. "You should have thought twice before attacking me," he sneered, his voice dripping with arrogance.
"Rending Wind Slash!!"
With a swift flick of his wrist, He Hu unleashed a powerful burst of wind, slicing through everything in its path.
The force was so strong that it tore through the ground, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
As the wind howled and debris flew through the air, Chen Tian remained calm and unfazed, ready to face whatever came his way.
"Humph!" Chen Tian snorted, unaffected by He\'s display of power. With a wave of his hand, a golden light shimmered in the air, forming into a massive shield around him.
The shield pulsed with power, emanating a warmth that dispelled the chill of the surrounding wind.
|BAAMMM|
He Hu\'s attack collided with the shield, causing a deafening explosion that shook the ground. The force of the impact sent shockwaves rippling outward.
"Impossible, how can you withstand my attack?!" He Hu exclaimed in disbelief.
Despite the immense power of the attack, the shield held firm; not even a crack appeared on its surface.
He Hu\'s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had poured all his Qi into that attack, but it had been effortlessly blocked.
A smirk played on Chen Tian\'s lips. "Is that all you\'ve got?"
