Chapter 353: Chapter 141 The Invincible Blade Force! An Irresistible Force!_1
“Mr. Su… Mr. Su? How did you get here?”
Di Hen said, somewhat surprised. After all, he was in the Qi-Blood Realm, and even with a divided mind, he should not have failed to notice the approach of a young man.
“Commander Hong just came to bid me farewell, and I thought it strange, so I followed to see what was going on. What exactly is happening with Commander Hong?”
Su Changkong said.
He indeed found it strange when Hong Zhenxiang came to bid him farewell, so he followed from a distance and saw Di Hen’s condition, which prompted him to seek some understanding from Di Hen.
After hesitating for a long while, Di Hen felt that he shouldn’t inform a stranger of such matters, but recalling Hong Zhenxiang’s previous orders to fulfill all of Su Changkong’s requests,
Di Hen ultimately sighed and said, “The Prefecture Lord Pei has been kidnapped by villains. They are demanding Commander Hong to meet at a designated location, or they will kill the Prefecture Lord Pei. That place must already be heavily trapped, and it would be too dangerous for Commander Hong to go alone!”
“Pei Yang was captured? Who captured him?”
Su Changkong was also taken aback and immediately asked.
After all, Pei Yang was the governor of a state, always accompanied by masters when going out. The person capable of capturing Pei Yang was no ordinary character!
“It was a man in red, carrying a jade flute with him,” Di Hen revealed the intelligence he knew.
“A man in red? With a jade flute?”
Upon hearing this, Su Changkong also recalled the accident that happened a year ago during the suppression of the rebels.
“At that time, someone used the flute’s sound to lure away Mo Ying; could it be the person who played the flute? An accomplice of Mo Ying!”
Su Changkong immediately thought of the flute sound that had disturbed the Qi and Blood at that time. This man in red who captured Pei Yang was Mo Ying’s companion, and very likely a demon monster himself!
The man in red and Mo Ying seemed to have targeted Hong Zhenxiang for some reason, hence kidnapping Pei Yang to threaten him to go to a designated place. It was imaginable that the two harbored ill intentions and intended to make their move against Hong Zhenxiang.
“Where is the designated meeting place?”
Su Changkong immediately asked, his eyes sharp, a gleam of brilliance bursting forth.
Di Hen, facing the gaze of Su Changkong, felt an immense pressure, and despite knowing he shouldn’t, he found himself saying involuntarily, “It’s in… Black Swamp Forest.”
Black Swamp Forest, a desolate forest thousands of miles from Dafeng State City, with dense swamps. If ordinary people were to venture deep into it, one misstep could mean burial in the swamp, a no-go zone for the living.
The man in red choosing this location for the meeting meant there could be no disturbances. Within the designated time, even the Dafeng Iron Cavalry wouldn’t be able to reach there, showing premeditation!
“If the man in red is Mo Ying’s companion, and Mo Ying is very likely there as well… let’s go and see!”
A hint of coldness flitted through the depths of Su Changkong’s eyes.
The previous battle with Mo Ying had left him quite annoyed. Without Hong Zhenxiang’s intervention, he would have probably been on the losing end. Su Changkong had always kept this matter in mind. Now that the other party had reappeared, Su Changkong wanted another fight, to show that the demon art, which they took pride in, was no match for his Martial Arts!
Not to mention that Hong Zhenxiang had been of great help to Su Changkong and was a straightforward person with whom Su Changkong had a friendship. The only friend Su Changkong had in Dafeng State City, Su Changkong couldn’t just sit back and watch him walk into certain death.
Of course, most importantly, Su Changkong was somewhat confident in his current strength, believing that even when facing a powerful demon monster like Mo Ying, he could still annihilate it!
“Alright, I understand.”
Su Changkong nodded at Di Hen, then turned and left, returning to Dafeng State City to retrieve his weapons!
Whoosh!
In a flash, Su Changkong’s figure streaked across like a bird, nearly within two breaths’ time, disappearing from Di Hen’s sight.
“Facing Mr. Su just now… the pressure was so great? Even greater than facing other commanders… Is Mr. Su also a Martial Arts expert?”
After Su Changkong left, Di Hen swallowed his saliva, somewhat shocked.
In past interactions with Su Changkong, he was simply delivering goods, hardly having any extended conversation, only aware that this gentleman had a good relationship with Hong Zhenxiang.
Now it seemed that this young Mr. Su had unfathomably deep Martial Arts cultivation, far surpassing his own!
“Mo Ying, I hope you’re present as well.”
Su Changkong returned to Ivy Manor, taking up the Iron-Cutting Sword and Star Patterned Bow, he muttered to himself.
The previous battle with Mo Ying had indeed been a significant blow to Su Changkong. His painstakingly trained Martial Arts were easily imitated by the demon’s art, and although it was far from reaching the level of a heart demon, Su Changkong still wanted to kill it! To clear his mind!
Whoosh!
Once prepared, Su Changkong quickly left the manor alone, passed through the city gates, and with rapid movements, sped towards the direction of Black Swamp Forest.
Upon reaching the Qi Blood Ten Transformation, Su Changkong’s physique underwent a metamorphosis, and his energy was more abundant, enabling him to run non-stop for thousands of miles on one breath!
Time passed, the sun rose and waned, turning dim and yellow; dusk arrived.
In Black Swamp Forest, surrounded were trees with withered leaves, the forest floor covered in fallen leaves, the air filled with a rotting stench. Under the cover of branches and leaves, the shadows were eerie, and there were patches of swamp that could trap a person’s feet, containing many animal carcasses and even remains of people who had wandered in by mistake.
Normal people would never come to such a place.
And on a rock in the forest, about half a person tall, sat a strangely beautiful man dressed in red, caressing the jade flute in his hands, waiting in silence.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
