Chapter 1404 Saving Cao Gang
The Cao family head turned and saw a familiar face appearing not far away. He was immediately overjoyed, "Chen Xuan!"
"Patriarch Cao, is my arrival timely?"
"Mr. Chen, you've arrived just in time!"
The Cao family head was extremely excited.
He thought he was done for, but he never expected Chen Xuan to suddenly appear. This was like rain after a long drought for him.
However, he was sad again moments later. While Chen Xuan had arrived, the butler had fallen in a pool of blood.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw the relief in the butler's eyes.
It seemed that as long as Patriarch Cao was safe, everything else was enough.
"Who are you?"
Seeing how excited the Cao family head was after Chen Xuan's arrival, the man in black dared not underestimate Chen Xuan and said solemnly.
"The one who will kill you!"
Chen Xuan rushed forward with a stride and struck out with a palm.
"What are you?"
A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the man in black. He punched out, instantly meeting Chen Xuan head-on. This guy's fist was quite hard; he should be a master of external training. But no matter how powerful he was, facing Chen Xuan, who could trample even the experts of the Divine Realm underfoot!
Crack!
The moment their fists collided, the man in black's wrist snapped. He cried out in pain, blood gushing out like a fountain.
Chen Xuan grabbed the man in black by the neck and strangled him to death.
Normally, he should have spared the man's life to force out who wanted to kill Cao Gang. However, the man in black's scream had already attracted the attention of others. The remaining men in black were already closing in.
Another one tried to warn his teammate to be careful, but he was struck in the chest by a flying dagger from Chen Xuan and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Chen, I know your medical skills are excellent. Can you see if my butler can be saved?"
Cao Gang said urgently.
Chen Xuan quickly went to the Cao family butler's side. He saw the butler still tightly clutching the leg of the man in black, his consciousness gone. Chen Xuan was moved.
"I can only try!"
He said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Cao Gang was extremely grateful.
Chen Xuan took out silver needles and immediately inserted seven into the Cao family butler.
These seven silver needles were placed on the butler's forehead, arranged in the Big Dipper formation. Each acupoint stimulated a person's greatest potential. These acupoints were also vital points. If a living person were pricked here, they would surely die. But when a person was on the verge of death, these acupoints might bring them back to life.
Time ticked by, and even the footsteps of the approaching men in black could be heard clearly. Chen Xuan held his breath. If the men in black arrived before the Cao family butler regained consciousness, he might not be able to save him, and the butler would surely die.
"I didn't expect anyone to still know the long-lost Seven Star Needles. This truly surprises me!"
Suddenly, a cold laugh rang out.
Cao Gang's face changed drastically, "Mr. Chen, trouble! They're here!"
Chen Xuan glanced over and saw more than ten men in black swarming towards them. The leader of the men in black looked older. To his surprise, this man recognized the Seven Star Needles he was using.
The Seven Star Needles were a lost medical technique in traditional Chinese medicine. If one wasn't proficient in medicine, they might not even have heard of it. This proved that this person was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
Being both a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and a brutal assassin, this person's identity was likely quite interesting.
"Don't panic."
Chen Xuan nodded calmly, still trying to stimulate the Cao family butler's life force with the silver needles.
In a flash, the men in black had all converged. The older man in black shouted, "While he's saving someone, quickly take him down!"
Clearly, the older man in black had sensed danger from Chen Xuan.
In an instant, everyone charged at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan didn't make a move, waiting for the last moment. He would not give up saving the Cao family butler until the very last moment.
No, I can't wait any longer!
At the critical moment, just as Chen Xuan was about to give up, the Cao family butler suddenly let out a low groan.
He was recovering!
The Cao family head was ecstatic, "Butler, you're awake?"
The Cao family butler seemed to hear the Cao family head's voice and nodded subconsciously.
The older man in black's face darkened. He knew their trouble had arrived!
"Excellent, I can finally unleash my slaughter!"
As long as this one breath was saved, the rest would be easier.
"Die!"
A voice filled with killing intent sounded from behind. Chen Xuan didn't even look, but quickly ducked his head. A sharp dagger grazed his back.
Chen Xuan kicked out, sending the man flying. The two men in front, caught off guard, stabbed their own comrade.
Seeing this, the two men were furious and charged at Chen Xuan, but they were both sent flying by Chen Xuan's sweep kick!
Bang bang bang!
Following that, there was another burst of intense collisions. However, it didn't last long. In just over ten seconds, all these men were knocked to the ground by Chen Xuan, suffering heavy casualties!
However, Chen Xuan didn't rush to deal with them. Instead, he looked up for the older man in black, only to find that the man had already fled in a car.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this guy to get away!"
Chen Xuan looked helpless.
"Chen Xuan, quickly check on the butler. He's spitting blood and crying out in pain."
Patriarch Cao said urgently.
Chen Xuan walked over, tapped the butler a few times, and gave him a healing pill. The butler's wounds stopped bleeding.
The Cao family head's eyes widened instantly.
This was too miraculous!
At this moment, the Cao family head had even more faith in Chen Xuan. As the head of one of the three major families, he had seen many things, but this was the first time he had encountered someone as miraculous as Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan turned to question the origin of the men in black, but they had all committed suicide.
"It's over, I can't ask now."
"Mr. Chen, no need to ask. It must be that group of people!"
"Who?"
"Huang Hai Group!"
Patriarch Cao's eyes shot out a cold light, and he said slowly:
"Recently, I've been having people suppress the Huang Hai Group, causing them heavy losses. I was ambushed on my return to Kyoto from another place. Listening to their conversation, they wanted to use me as a puppet to control the Cao family. Besides the Huang Hai Group, who else would have such audacity?"
"It seems it's time to deal with this Huang Hai Group!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing.
Patriarch Cao said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, I have investigated a lot of information on the Huang Hai Group. I will give it to you when we return to the Cao family later."
Chen Xuan helped the Cao family butler, and together with Patriarch Cao, they drove towards the Cao family in Kyoto.
