Chapter 1548 Ambush En Route
This was not because she looked down on Xuanyun Group, but because the Gu family was too powerful. The upper three families of the Nine Gates in the capital were outrageously strong!
It was known that Xuanyun Group was currently only at the strength of the lower three families, still a distance away from the middle three. Naturally, they could not be compared.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Liu Qiang was surprised, his eyes wide.
He never imagined that after he reported the name of Xuanyun Group, the other party still wouldn't take it seriously and would utter such arrogant words.
Huamei was also astonished.
She thought, what was this woman's background?
"Gu Yulong of the Gu family!"
Gu Yulong spat out a few words indifferently.
The Gu family...
Liu Qiang almost fainted.
Damn it, this wasn't just hitting a wall; this was hitting a steel plate! A bulletproof steel plate!
The Gu family was one of the upper three families among the Nine Gates of the capital. Even the smallest member of their family was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Get lost!" Gu Yulong cursed.
Liu Qiang got up from the ground and quickly turned to leave. But then he suddenly remembered Huamei. He turned to Huamei and said, "Miss Hua, let's leave quickly."
Initially, he felt embarrassed, but after learning that Gu Yulong was from the Gu family, he felt no embarrassment at all.
Huamei knew Gu Yulong was from the Gu family and felt a storm surge in her heart. She tugged at Chen Xuan's sleeve, "Mr. Chen, let's leave quickly."
Chen Xuan stood up, preparing to leave with Huamei.
But at this moment, they were stopped by Gu Yulong.
"You can go, but he cannot."
Gu Yulong's gaze was fixed on Chen Xuan.
Huh?
Huamei looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. Had Chen Xuan offended Gu Yulong?
Liu Qiang's face darkened.
Damn it, so this person wasn't here to cause trouble for him, but for Chen Xuan. He had taken several slaps for nothing, and he hated Chen Xuan to the bone.
Immediately after, he gloated. Chen Xuan had offended Gu Yulong; he was dead for sure now.
Huamei quickly said, "Miss Gu, I don't know how Mr. Chen offended you. Why don't we sit down and talk?"
Gu Yulong looked at Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, I didn't expect you to have such good luck with women. Someone is already trying to speak up for you."
"That's right, my luck with women has always been good."
Chen Xuan touched his nose. "Didn't you come to find me as well?"
After speaking, he did not forget to say to Liu Qiang, "I told you the people I associate with are beyond your reach. Are you convinced now?"
Liu Qiang's mouth twitched.
Just keep bragging!
Did you associate with them? You clearly offended them!
Gu Yulong didn't expect Chen Xuan to be so brazen and even use her to show off in such a way. She couldn't stand it.
She immediately said, "Kid, are you going to fight me fair and square or not?"
"What if I don't?"
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"If you don't... I'll kill her right now!" Gu Yulong's gaze shifted to Huamei.
Huamei's face immediately turned pale.
"How dare you!" Chen Xuan's face darkened. "Do you think you can kill her?"
"You can protect her for a while, but you can't protect her forever!" Gu Yulong said with a sinister smile.
Chen Xuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Fine, you're ruthless. I agree, but not right now."
He indeed couldn't protect Huamei at all times.
"Not now? Then you'd better name a time!" Gu Yulong pressed.
"Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, at Ten Mile Slope on the west side of the capital!"
"Good, tomorrow morning at six o'clock, be there or be square! If you dare not come, we're not done."
Gu Yulong suddenly turned and left.
She wasn't afraid that Chen Xuan wouldn't come. If Chen Xuan didn't come, she had a hundred ways to deal with him.
"Haven't you eaten enough? Let's continue eating." Chen Xuan said to Huamei faintly and sat back in his seat.
Huamei also sat down, while Liu Qiang remained motionless.
Gu Yulong came over and acted all powerful, only to challenge Chen Xuan.
It seemed like a challenge to Chen Xuan, but Liu Qiang knew that she must have considered Chen Xuan to have the strength to compete with her before challenging him. Otherwise, why would she be so bored as to challenge a nobody?
Liu Qiang couldn't help but look at Chen Xuan again.
This guy might not be simple.
Huamei said worriedly, "Mr. Chen, what exactly happened?"
Chen Xuan told her what had happened.
"Ah? You drew a turtle on the face of someone from the Gu family in the capital?" Huamei's expression was strange.
Liu Qiang was even more dumbfounded. Had this guy gone mad?
"I originally wanted to warn her, but who knew she would push her luck."
Chen Xuan pouted. "But don't worry, I'll just fight her tomorrow. Anyway, with her meager skills, she can't beat me."
Chen Xuan originally intended to teach Gu Yulong a lesson and be done with it, but he didn't expect Gu Yulong to become so presumptuous and seek revenge. He knew that if he were a ruthless person, he would have killed her with a single slap, yet she was so ungrateful.
"But..." Huamei was full of worry.
This seemed to be more than just a simple fight.
"Just put your mind at ease, everything will be fine."
Chen Xuan said with a relaxed expression, speaking casually.
The next morning, Chen Xuan changed into clean clothes, put on a pair of hiking shoes, and drove straight to Ten Mile Slope.
Soon, he arrived at the foot of Ten Mile Slope and hiked towards it.
The surrounding area was a vast hillside, with only a narrow mountain path leading to Ten Mile Slope. Looking up, the sky became a straight line, and this place was also known as a 'Gorge of Heaven,' a place where 'one guard can hold back ten thousand.'
"Ambush?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's brow twitched.
He sensed that in front of him, there were several people whose aura suggested they were not weak. All of them were experts at the seventh or eighth level of the Divine Realm, numbering over a dozen. This concentration of power was not to be underestimated, especially in such an easily ambushed location.
Such power could easily ensnare even a Martial Emperor.
The Gu family was truly insidious, laying an ambush here in advance. Was it perhaps because they were worried that if I defeated Gu Yulong, the Gu family would lose face?
At this thought, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, picked up a few pebbles from the ground, played with them, and walked forward.
As if sensing Chen Xuan's arrival, those lying in ambush held their breath, ready for action.
He took a step forward.
A powerful killing intent instantly enveloped Chen Xuan. The next moment, a sharp and unparalleled saber descended from the sky, crashing down like a sky-obscuring blade.
Chen Xuan suddenly ducked, and the saber slid past his scalp.
A lock of hair was instantly severed, falling to the ground.
"Good kid, you actually dodged it!"
A burly man with a beard jumped out, surprised.
"Gu family, you are truly despicable and shameless, resorting to an ambush." Chen Xuan sneered.
"Who told you we are from the Gu family? Don't make wild guesses." The bearded man denied.
Although the other party denied it, Chen Xuan didn't believe it.
"Kid, die!"
The bearded man brandished his saber and slashed fiercely, sending out a blade energy like a white ribbon, pressing down on all sides.
The surrounding air surged, and rocks rolled down the slope!
