Chapter 302: All retreat!
Xia Liuqing gave the order decisively, his tone stern.
Gong Qing, Dou Mei and others standing behind him reacted immediately.
Although he was unwilling, facing this unmatched aura,
They had no choice but to obey.
"go!"
Gong Qing gritted his teeth and growled, then leaped into the air first and turned into a gray shadow and escaped.
Dou Mei and others followed closely behind and quickly fled into the distance.
Xia Liuqing took one last look at Su Chen. His eyes were complicated and contained a hint of murderous intent.
He whispered, “Little kid, remember everything that happened today.
The next time we meet, it won’t be so simple.”
Before he finished speaking, Xia Liuqing flashed.
A gray light cut through the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
Su Chen stared coldly at the direction where they were leaving and slowly clenched his fists.
Just as Xia Liuqing and others left, a golden light quickly fell from the sky.
It’s the old Taoist priest!
The old Taoist priest slowly landed in front of the dilapidated bamboo forest and scanned everything in front of him.
The originally lush bamboo forest is now in ruins.
Traces of lightning and scattered cracks can be vaguely seen on the charred ground.
It is obvious that a devastating battle has just taken place here.
The old Taoist frowned, his eyes swept over Su Chen, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, then he raised his hand and a stream of pure Qi surged out of his palm.
This Qi was extremely warm, covering the three people like a clear spring, instantly soothing the fatigue and hidden injuries in their bodies caused by the battle.
"It's good that there are no fatal injuries."
There was a hint of concern in the old Taoist's tone. His frown gradually relaxed and he let out a long sigh.
Su Chen nodded and said with a firm look: "Master, don't worry, we are all fine."
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan quickly walked to the old Taoist priest and said with gratitude:
"Master! This time it was really thanks to Su Chen that he arrived in time.
He crushed Barron to dust, otherwise... you probably wouldn't have seen me."
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Su Chen.
There was a hint of approval in his eyes.
He patted Su Chen's shoulder, his tone revealing some relief:
"Luckily you're here. If it weren't for you, Chu Lan would have been in great danger."
Su Chen bowed his head slightly in greeting without saying much, but his expression was still a little solemn.
However, the old Taoist's attention was soon attracted by the surrounding scenes.
He raised his head and looked at the ruined bamboo forest and the traces of fierce fighting around him, and his brows frowned again.
He recalled the strange vision of heaven and earth he had seen from afar before.
The thunder roared like an angry dragon, and the energy between heaven and earth was surging. It was obviously an extraordinary duel.
"Su Chen..."
The old Taoist priest spoke slowly, his tone filled with doubt and caution.
"Your opponent is Baron, the Six Treasury Immortal Thief?"
Su Chen nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice:
"It's him."
The old Taoist's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, carefully looking at the traces of battle around him, and his voice was filled with amazement:
“The Six Treasury Immortal Thief… that person is capable of challenging even the rules of life and death.
As far as I know, apart from Wu Gensheng back then, almost no one can completely suppress it in a head-on confrontation."
He paused, and looked at Su Chen again, with a hint of inquiry in his tone:
"You were able to crush the Six Treasury Immortal Thief Baron to ashes?"
Su Chen faced the old Taoist's gaze with a calm expression. He nodded slowly, his tone somewhat calm:
“Barron is indeed an extremely dangerous opponent, but he is not invulnerable.
He relied on the Six Treasury Immortal Thief's recovery ability, and I used some means to temporarily block his Qi."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"You blocked the Qi of the Six Treasury Immortal Thief? What method did you use?"
Su Chen stood on the top of Longhu Mountain, looking at the fire in the distance.
His silence was like the night wind in the mountains, deep and unpredictable.
The old Taoist priest stood beside him, also looking at the flames, but did not break the silence.
He knew that Su Chen carried more secrets than anyone else.
Although he has revealed part of it,
But as for the part that Su Chen was unwilling to reveal, the old master chose to respect it and did not continue to ask.
The old Taoist priest gently stroked his beard, his eyes showing a hint of worry.
But more of it is trust in Su Chen.
He said softly, "This time all the people from Quanxing came out in full force, thinking they could take advantage of the situation.
But I didn't expect that you would catch them all in one fell swoop.
It seems that you already know all about Quan Xing's plan."
Su Chen nodded, his voice calm and powerful:
“Thanks to the company’s deployment of personnel, Longhushan did not suffer too much loss this time.
Not only that, Quan Xing will probably be seriously injured this time, and will not be able to stir up any waves in the alien world for a while."
His words revealed a calmness and confidence, as if everything was within his expectations.
Hearing Su Chen say this, the old Taoist priest showed a look of admiration in his eyes.
He looked at Su Chen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
It is extremely rare to have such a temperament and strategy at such a young age!
The old Taoist priest knew that Su Chen not only possessed extraordinary wisdom, but also had a calm and determined heart.
In this alien world full of uncertainty and danger, such qualities are undoubtedly the most valuable.
The old Taoist priest glanced at Mount Longhu, looked at the remnants of Quan Xing still remaining in the mountain, and spoke slowly.
"These ungrateful fellows actually dared to set their sights on Junior Brother Tian.
Fortunately, you discovered it in time, otherwise Junior Brother Tian would have been killed!"
The old Taoist priest became angrier and angrier as he spoke. Even though he was usually calm and composed, he looked furious at this moment.
Su Chen said with a fixed gaze.
"Gong Qing will definitely die this time.
Even if we don't kill him, Quan Xing's gang won't let him go.
If you want to vent your anger, I can mobilize the company's people to arrest Gong Qing and let you deal with him at your will."
Su Chen obviously saw what the old master was thinking.
When the old Taoist heard this, he burst into laughter.
"No one knows me better than you."
Then the old Taoist priest turned his head, looked at Zhang Chulan and said.
"Chu Lan, learn these skills from Su Chen!"
Zhang Chulan scratched his head and said with a wry smile:
"Master, Su Chen's ability is not something I can learn just because I want to.
My stupid brain is far from Su Chen's talent, I am afraid I can only look up to him."
The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"Chu Lan, don't underestimate yourself. You have your talent and opportunity. As long as you work hard, you will make progress."
At this time, Su Chen's gaze was still looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something more profound.
He knew very well that although Quan Xing was defeated this time, the peace in the alien world was only temporary, and the undercurrents behind it never stopped.
