Chapter 346 Surprise Attack
Su Cheng was startled, and turned to look. Upon seeing the newcomers, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in his eyes.
A group of four strode forward.
Teacher Gong led the way, with Xu Jiaojiao, You Ruolong, and Shi Tou following closely.
A powerful aura emanated from them, creating a tremendous sense of pressure.
"Teacher Gong!"
Chen Xuan greeted with a smile.
You Ruolong didn't even glance at Chen Xuan, still angry with him. Xu Jiaojiao, however, smiled sweetly, and Shi Tou called out heartily, "Boss!"
Teacher Gong said calmly, "I tried to call you earlier, but you didn't answer, so I went to Qingwu Mountain. I learned you had left, so I rushed over."
Chen Xuan took out his phone and saw there was no signal.
The surroundings instantly fell silent, with all eyes focused on Chen Xuan.
"Wow, no wonder this kid is so arrogant. He's from the Qintianjian. No wonder he dared to confront the Su family from the capital!"
"His backing is solid!"
Tian Feng and the others were also dumbfounded. So this was the team Chen Xuan had spoken of.
Especially Tian Feng, whose face darkened. He had just belittled Chen Xuan's team, only to find out they were from the Qintianjian!
If this wasn't a slap in the face, what was?
He also felt a pang of regret.
If he had treated Chen Xuan better from the start, perhaps he could have established connections with the people from Qintianjian and received some assistance when entering the ancient ruins.
Zhao Jing's eyes were filled with surprise.
She never expected Chen Xuan to have such a trump card, no wonder he was so confident earlier.
"Fortunately, Teacher Gong arrived early, otherwise the Su family from the capital would have torn me to shreds," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, glancing at Su Cheng.
Teacher Gong looked coldly at Su Cheng and said sternly, "The Su family of the capital truly has great authority! Let me tell you, this is not the capital. If you dare to lay a hand on Chen Xuan, you will be opposing us!"
Su Cheng forced a smile, "Elder Gong, you jest. How could I oppose Elder Gong? It's just that this fellow has a feud with our Su family from the capital. I hope Elder Gong won't make things difficult for us."
The main branch of the Su family itself held a degree of apprehension towards the Qintianjian, let alone him, a collateral branch. He didn't dare to offend the Qintianjian lightly.
"Chen Xuan is one of us. I will protect him!" Teacher Gong declared resolutely.
Whether it was Su Qian's or Elder Xiao's face, he had to protect Chen Xuan.
"Teacher Gong, we are under orders to eliminate Chen Xuan. Our Su family from the capital is not to be trifled with," Su Cheng said coldly.
"Can you represent the Su family of the capital?"
"Are we from the Qintianjian trifled with?"
Teacher Gong's words were strong and aggressive, causing Su Cheng to gasp for breath, feeling suffocated.
The Su family from the capital could threaten others, but they were not qualified to threaten Teacher Gong. Otherwise, the Su family wouldn't have been unable to deal with Su Qian for so long.
Su Cheng took a deep breath, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He said, "Alright, then I will spare his life."
"But!"
"Death can be avoided, but punishment for the living cannot be escaped!"
Su Cheng's expression suddenly turned fierce, and he punched towards Chen Xuan.
As the punch was thrown, a surge of powerful air currents swept out.
Chen Xuan hadn't anticipated that Su Cheng would dare to launch a surprise attack in front of the Qintianjian. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
Caught off guard, Chen Xuan was sent flying backward more than ten meters by the punch. His body crashed through a century-old tree before he stopped, falling to the ground with a thud.
The entire scene was silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Everyone was shocked. They never expected Su Cheng to sneak attack Chen Xuan in front of the Qintianjian!
Su Cheng was a fourth-grade internal force master. With a full-force attack, even a peer of similar level would likely be crippled, if not killed!
Chen Xuan's breath was weak; he was probably beyond saving.
"You dare to sneak attack!"
Teacher Gong was furious.
Although Chen Xuan had some strength, he was far from Su Cheng's match. He was likely finished now.
If the Su family found out about this, wouldn't they fall out with him?
Under Teacher Gong's ashen face, Su Cheng stared at Chen Xuan's position and paused for a few seconds, "I apologize. He's already dead! I wonder what Teacher Gong intends to do to me?"
While he was unwilling to offend the Qintianjian, these were the orders from the main family of the Su family. The rest would be handled by the Su family from the capital!
Moreover, since the person was dead, he didn't believe the Qintianjian would go to great lengths to confront the Su family of the capital for a dead person!
"You are seeking death!"
Teacher Gong was seething with rage!
A powerful aura emanated from him, and the terrifying pressure caused Su Cheng's throat to feel sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The surrounding people were filled with fear and shock.
Was this the might of the Qintianjian?
What was the strength of this leader from the Qintianjian?
Terrifying! Terrifying!
"Are you still going to make a move? I'm telling you, our Su family from the capital can't deal with the Qintianjian, but if you dare to make a move, and this matter is reported back to the capital, your Gong family will have no place to stay in the capital." Su Cheng gritted his teeth.
Teacher Gong's expression changed slightly.
He was not afraid, but the Gong family was!
However, if he didn't provide an explanation to Su Qian and Elder Xiao, how could he face the Qintianjian? How could he face them?
"What happens in the future will be dealt with in the future!" Teacher Gong hardened his heart, a look of determination appearing on his face.
Su Cheng was stunned at first, a look of fear in his eyes.
He never expected Teacher Gong to disregard his family and seek revenge for Chen Xuan!
The members of the Su family also walked over.
Both sides exuded powerful auras, and swords were drawn, with war on the verge of breaking out!
If they fought, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering!
Just then!
A faint voice sounded from not far away, breaking the tense atmosphere!
"Teacher Gong, there's no need to be angry. I'm fine."
Everyone was stunned and turned to look. They saw Chen Xuan walking over from not far away.
Apart from his torn clothes, he appeared to be unharmed.
"How is that possible?" Su Cheng stared at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
Everyone else was also astonished, especially You Ruolong, who was particularly surprised. He had also been certain that Chen Xuan would die, but he hadn't expected Chen Xuan to be completely unharmed.
Teacher Gong's face lit up with joy, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
"This punch was as soft as a woman's. How could it kill anyone?"
Chen Xuan looked at Teacher Gong, touched his chin, and laughed heartily.
Others looked at Chen Xuan, their eyes filled with apprehension.
Perhaps half of them would not have been able to remain so composed under that blow.
Su Cheng was so furious that he began to doubt if he had held back his punch earlier.
At this moment, a Grandmaster beside him spoke, "Young Master Su, this kid is not simple. He might have some strength."
Su Cheng nodded with a gloomy expression. He felt as if he had been disgusted by a fly and turned to leave. Suddenly, he bumped into someone. Already in a bad mood, he immediately cursed, "Don't you watch where you're going?"
He looked up and froze. It was Chen Xuan. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
Chen Xuan stared at Su Cheng, a half-smile on his face, "Su Cheng, the road is long. Your sneak attack matter isn't over yet."
Damn it, I was minding my own business. What did I do to provoke you? To sneak attack me right from the start? If I don't get even, it'll be too suffocating.
After saying that, Chen Xuan didn't give Su Cheng a chance to retort and turned to leave.
Returning to the Qintianjian team, Chen Xuan followed Teacher Gong and the others, beginning to head into the deep mountains.
Everyone traveled together. They all knew that exploring ancient ruins was difficult, and to reduce unnecessary casualties, this seemed to have become an unwritten rule.
"Chen Xuan, I didn't expect you to join the Qintianjian."
At this moment, Zhao Jing walked over with her hands behind her back, a faint smile on her face.
The gentleness on her pretty face was much more endearing than her stern expression yesterday.
