Chapter 182 Ambush and Interception
After leaving the Guo family, Bai Yong departed first, as he had patients to attend to.
Bai Yong possessed two identities: one as a Feng Shui master, and the other as a supreme medical expert.
Wei Linlin, smiling, hooked her arm around Chen Xuan's, giggling, "Chen Xuan, now that you have the spiritual medicine, you should be fine, right? Come on, I'll take you sightseeing in the provincial capital. Though the provincial capital isn't as fun as Jiangzhou, there are still a few nice places."
"No need. Since I've obtained the spiritual medicine, I need to return to Jiangzhou to treat my mother," Chen Xuan was already impatient.
Chen Xuan had spent countless efforts to cure Song Ping. Now that he finally had the last piece of spiritual medicine, he had no inclination for leisure.
Moreover, every moment of delay meant an increased risk.
He wished he could fly back immediately to treat his mother, Song Ping.
"It won't matter if you go back a day later. Can you accompany me for just one day? I'll show you the prosperity of the provincial capital," Wei Linlin pouted, speaking with displeasure.
"No."
However, Chen Xuan refused outright. Even invoking Su Yunxi's name wouldn't sway him.
"Chen Xuan, then I'll escort you to the airport."
Wei Linlin had no choice but to concede, proactively offering to take Chen Xuan to the airport.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to agree, his eyelids twitched.
He performed a quick calculation with his fingers, his expression turning somewhat odd before quickly returning to normal: "No need."
As Wei Linlin was about to say something, the young man accompanying her chuckled, "Linlin, I'll take Mr. Chen then."
"Chen Xuan, are you really not giving me face? Do you know how many people in the provincial capital want to get close to me but have no opportunity?"
Wei Linlin was displeased.
But at this moment, Wei Linlin received a call; someone was bullying her best friend, so she instructed, "Fang Chen, then you take Chen Xuan later."
"Mr. Chen, this way please!"
Fang Chen gestured towards a sports car parked nearby, inviting Chen Xuan with a slight smile.
Chen Xuan got into the sports car, tightly clutching the jade box.
He gazed out the window as the scenery slowly receded, and the vehicle gradually pulled away from the Su family villa.
"Chen Xuan, next time you visit the provincial capital, remember to look for me!" Wei Linlin waved her arm, bidding Chen Xuan farewell.
Fang Chen himself took the wheel, driving towards the provincial capital's airport.
Along the way, Fang Chen glanced at Chen Xuan, who was sitting in the back, his eyes closed, appearing serene and undisturbed.
"Chen Xuan, I heard you indirectly saved Ji Xingchen and defeated Zhang Songtao's movement technique with a single move. Is that true?" Fang Chen asked with a smile.
Chen Xuan opened his eyes, looked at Fang Chen, and nodded affirmatively, "You are correct."
"Are you interested in sparring with me?" Fang Chen's voice held a hint of excitement.
"This is why you proactively offered to drive me, isn't it?" Chen Xuan retorted.
"Something like that. On one hand, it's to protect Miss Wei, and on the other, I want to see what kind of person you are, someone who has rejected the Yanhuang Iron Brigade three times," Fang Chen chuckled.
Chen Xuan shook his head, "You are not my match."
If it were anyone else, Fang Chen would have been furious. But Chen Xuan had suppressed three of the four Yanhuang Heroes. Fang Chen took a deep breath:
"Don't underestimate me. Although I am ranked third in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, my true strength is no less than Ji Xingchen's!"
Fang Chen's tone carried a trace of arrogance.
He was the most mysterious among the Yanhuang Four Heroes. Despite being ranked third, he had never used his full strength. Today, having finally encountered a formidable opponent, he was eager to test his abilities.
"A fourth-rank inner energy master. Indeed, not bad."
Chen Xuan immediately scanned Fang Chen with his spiritual sense.
He discovered that Fang Chen was a fourth-rank inner energy master, his aura even stronger than Ji Xingchen's. It seemed this fellow had been hiding his strength within the Yanhuang Iron Brigade.
A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, then returned to normal.
Fang Chen seemed somewhat smug, "How about it, is that enough for you now?"
"No, you are not my opponent," Chen Xuan shook his head again.
Fang Chen was stunned, and his expression instantly turned grim, "Are you scared?"
Chen Xuan subtly shook his head and leaned back in the seat, ignoring Fang Chen.
Seeing Chen Xuan's nonchalant demeanor, Fang Chen's temper flared. He hurled a barrage of insults at Chen Xuan, calling him trash, a loser, and a leech. However, these words, which could have enraged most people, failed to stir even a ripple in Chen Xuan's heart.
"Damn it, he really can endure this." Fang Chen was so enraged he slapped the steering wheel.
On the suburban expressway, Chen Xuan suddenly glanced out the window, frowning, "Stop the car!"
Fang Chen was momentarily taken aback, then his eyes lit up with excitement, "You've agreed to fight me? This is an open space with few people, perfect!"
He slammed on the brakes, and with a screech, the car abruptly stopped by the roadside.
Chen Xuan ignored Fang Chen and stepped directly out of the car.
Fang Chen unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door, preparing to follow, but then Chen Xuan's icy voice rang out: "If you don't want to die, don't get out."
Fang Chen's anger surged, and he was about to retort. But as he looked up, he met Chen Xuan's terrifying gaze. He froze, and for some reason, obediently sat back into the car and closed the door.
Chen Xuan strode into the open space, scanning his surroundings, and said calmly, "You've been following me for so long. This is the suburbs, with hardly anyone around. It's time to come out!"
As soon as his voice fell, accompanied by a coughing sound, Feng Yun Kun slowly emerged from behind a large tree.
Feng Yun Kun's face was now deathly pale, his spirit depleted, and a thick aura of malevolence enveloped him, making him appear as though he were already half-dead.
"It's you? How did you end up like this?" Chen Xuan was also surprised to see Feng Yun Kun.
Feng Yun Kun had been full of vigor before. How had he become as if he had one foot in the grave?
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Feng Yun Kun's qi and blood surged. Gritting his teeth, he spat, "It's all thanks to you! If it weren't for you, how could I have suffered the backlash of the White Tiger Sha?"
"The White Tiger Sha was your setup?"
Chen Xuan suddenly understood why Feng Yun Kun's disciple, Hu Tian, had spoken those words when they first met. It turned out they were enemies of the Guo family.
"You set up such a vicious scheme and suffered a backlash. This is karma, you deserve it!" Chen Xuan had no pity for Feng Yun Kun, who had attempted to annihilate an entire family.
"Hmph!"
Feng Yun Kun's demeanor turned cold and sinister, "After suffering the backlash of the White Tiger Sha, I don't have many days left to live. However, even if I die, I will kill you to vent my hatred."
"You can kill me? Who gave you that courage?" Chen Xuan asked calmly.
Feng Yun Kun let out a cold laugh, "You may be formidable in Feng Shui and metaphysics, but when it comes to offensive spells, you're likely still far from it!"
With that, Feng Yun Kun took out a stack of spiritual talismans and said proudly, "This is one of the three supreme spiritual talismans of my Feng Long Mountain, the Shocking Thunder Talisman. Even with your heavenly powers, you will perish today..."
This Shocking Thunder Talisman was more than twice as powerful as the Yin Thunder Talisman from before.
"Stop the nonsense, let's get this over with. I'm in a hurry to get back to Jiangzhou," Chen Xuan waved his hand, interrupting Feng Yun Kun.
Feng Yun Kun let out a cold snort and instantly crushed the Shocking Thunder Talisman.
The clear sky instantly became overcast, with rumbling thunder and earth-shattering might!
Lightning bolts, like celestial dragons, traversed the clouds and rapidly converged above Chen Xuan, transforming into a sea of lightning in an instant!
Fortunately, this area was sparsely populated, so it didn't attract much attention. However, Fang Chen, who was about to rush out of the car again to fight Chen Xuan, was stunned by the spectacle.
"Holy crap, is this a special effect?"
Fang Chen blurted out, a sense of dread washing over him. He quickly turned the car around and locked the doors again.
Feng Yun Kun glared at Chen Xuan with cold eyes and sternly declared, "Chen Xuan, you killed my junior brother and foiled my White Tiger Sha. Today, I will destroy you. Are you convinced?"
"A mere Shocking Thunder Talisman makes me convinced? You might as well bring out your Feng Long Mountain's Extinction of Life Talisman to make it worthwhile," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.
