Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 121 - 120: Isn’t it better to have me?
"Hurry up."
Xia Yu urged the four people behind him.
The South City Gate was getting closer. As long as they delivered it to the gate, his mission would be complete.
That was... the Third Grade Cultivation Technique!
His heart couldn’t help but become excited, but soon he became even more vigilant.
Times like this were when one couldn’t let their guard down, something he’d learned from years as Chief Constable.
He had seen too many last-minute disasters.
However,
he would never allow such a thing to happen to him.
"I see it."
The South City Gate was already in sight. At this moment, Xia Yu’s eyes burned hot with desire; the Third Grade Cultivation Technique was about to be his.
"Pick up the pace."
With a low shout, he quickened his steps, and the four behind him followed closely.
At this moment,
Chen Xuan had already patrolled to South Street.
Murran,
noticed Xia Yu and his group.
"Huh!"
He murmured in wonder, finding it very strange.
These people were patrolling almost to the South City Gate? And so quickly?
"Something’s not right."
Then his figure disappeared again; he wanted to see what Xia Yu was up to.
...
Soon, Xia Yu and his group arrived at the South City Gate, and his racing heart finally eased a bit.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in armor saw him and hurried over. "Where’s the stuff?"
Xia Yu turned slightly, revealing a black box in front of the middle-aged man.
"Where’s my stuff?" He extended a hand.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly pulled out a book with a dusty yellow cover from his chest, and Xia Yu stared at the book in his hand, heart pounding; this was the other half!
"Here you go! This is half of the remaining half!"
"What? Are you joking or looking for death?"
In an instant, Xia Yu’s face changed dramatically, his eyes full of anger. They promised to deliver the remaining half to him.
Now it was reduced to half of half.
It was like they were toying with him!
"Xia Yu, be clear. This is a Third Grade Cultivation Technique, not some trash. Did you think by defecting and doing one thing, you’d get a complete Third Grade Cultivation Technique? Too naive."
The middle-aged man ignored his threat, even mocking him.
"You..."
"No you or mine, do you want it or not? If not, I’ll take it back. And if you want the other half of the Cultivation Technique, keep working with those families. When everything is together, the full technique will be yours."
The middle-aged man abruptly cut him off, and the book in his hand was about to return to his chest.
"Wait!"
Xia Yu’s eyes were filled with anger, his chest heaving, but—
He exhaled slowly, suppressing his inner rage.
"Give it to me!" His voice was icy cold.
"That’s right, the Cultivation Technique will eventually be yours, of course, provided you work hard for me." The middle-aged man didn’t care about his attitude, tossing the book over, not at all surprised by his choice.
For people like him, the Third Grade Cultivation Technique held deadly allure.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily betrayed the Great Xia.
"But let me say something ugly first. By doing this, I can’t explain it to the Zheng Family. I promised them the latter half of the Cultivation Technique, but now I have only this. If the Zheng Family leaks this to other families, you’ll bear the consequences."
Xia Yu was no longer polite.
"That’s your problem. But I can assure you, as long as there’s another batch of this stuff, the rest, which I mean all, will be yours."
The middle-aged man knew he was dissatisfied, but as long as Xia Yu wanted the other half of the technique, he had to continue helping the rebels.
Therefore, the promise had to be made.
"Hmph!"
Xia Yu snorted coldly, not believing his words at all but unable to do anything.
First, he wanted the other half of the technique.
Second, unless he tore things apart, he couldn’t offend him for now, at least not until he got the technique.
"Hehe, rest assured, I’ll definitely keep my word this time."
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly, then walked forward, picking up the black box and heading outside the city gate.
At this time, Chen Xuan, hidden in the darkness, was quietly observing the scene.
"Haha... Xia Yu is truly being played like a fiddle." He felt a bit sorry for him at this point.
Dangling the Third Grade Cultivation Technique in front of him, forcing him to continue working for the rebels.
Otherwise, everything he had done would have been for naught.
And once on the rebel boat, getting off wasn’t that easy.
Yet,
these rebels were really despicable, lacking even basic trustworthiness. How could they expect others to earnestly do their bidding?
So petty!
"It’s about time, I should step out." He slowly emerged from the shadows. "Where are you planning to go?"
The voice wasn’t loud, but both Xia Yu and the middle-aged man froze as if struck by lightning.
"Tap, tap, tap...."
Chen Xuan’s figure appeared in their line of sight.
Slowly.
Stepping toward them one step at a time, each soft footstep resounded loudly in their hearts.
"Chen Xuan!"
The moment Xia Yu saw him, he felt as if his breath had stopped.
’How could he appear here?’
’When did he arrive?’
’Did he hear what was said between them?’
One question after another popped up.
"Lord Chen! Why are you here?"
At this moment, he forced a slight smile on his face, trying to remain calm.
"If you can come, why can’t I come?"
Chen Xuan retorted.
"Ah, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m just surprised why Lord Chen is patrolling personally tonight and even came to the South District."
Xia Yu hurriedly explained.
"I can’t help it." Chen Xuan shrugged as if helpless, "After all, I’m the Deputy Director of the Divine Capture Bureau. I have to oversee all four districts. Ah! The greater the power, the greater the responsibility it seems."
Chen Xuan appeared to have a lot of pressure.
However, at this moment, Xia Yu couldn’t care much about this and asked the question he was most concerned about: "When did you arrive, my Lord?"
"Of course, I just got here. I saw you here, so I came to check on you. You’ve been working hard lately."
Chen Xuan now truly projected the image of a good superior.
After hearing this, Xia Yu’s panicked heart calmed down slightly.
But in the next instant, Chen Xuan’s words made him nervous again.
"Hey, what’s in that box?" Chen Xuan pointed to the wooden black box in the middle-aged man’s hand.
"Oh, that’s something General Shen asked me to buy; since he’s guarding the gate today, I brought it for him." Seeing this, Xia Yu hurriedly said.
"Is that so? Then let me take a look."
Chen Xuan immediately walked over and was about to inspect the box.
"My Lord!"
Xia Yu was anxious.
"Hmm? Why? I can’t look?" Chen Xuan looked puzzled, questioning him.
"They are just ordinary things, nothing significant. Does my Lord still not trust his subordinates? Doing so would chill the hearts of the brethren in the Divine Capture Bureau. Then, I won’t be able to continue patrolling." He feigned a look of dissatisfaction, as if if he checked the box, they would all quit.
"What if I insist on looking?"
Chen Xuan pressed on step by step, wanting to see how long Xia Yu could endure.
"If you insist, my Lord....." His eyes turned fierce, "Kill!"
He suddenly roared and threw a punch at Chen Xuan.
He was now at Fourth Grade, while Chen Xuan was merely Fifth Grade. If he had stopped, he wouldn’t have taken action.
But seeing that he was determined to look,
He couldn’t blame him then.
See, that is death!
At the same time, the middle-aged man also cooperatively attacked Chen Xuan.
"Truly... seeking death!"
Chen Xuan shook his head, watching the two attacking him without a hint of panic.
Fourth Grade, that’s all!
In an instant, he extended his hands, blocking the attacks from both sides. Simultaneously, his hands gripped them tightly like iron clamps.
Tables turned!
"What?" The two exclaimed simultaneously.
This punch didn’t harm him at all.
How is it possible!
Wasn’t he only Fifth Grade?
"Enough playing, time to end it!" In an instant, he unleashed a Fourth Grade peak aura, exerting force with his hands, fiercely slamming the two into the ground, sending two waves of spiritual power into their bodies.
"Boom!"
Two loud bangs.
The immense force even made the entire ground tremble.
On the dark street, countless stones flew in all directions.
Two deep pits appeared.
As for the others remaining, they looked at this scene in disbelief.
How is that possible?
Their heads were all Fourth Grade masters!
But in front of Chen Xuan, they were like babies, so easy to defeat.
"Go, help your heads up carefully. Don’t let them die on me." Chen Xuan, with his hands behind his back, looked around at these people and continued, "Also, it’s best not to run, otherwise, I might impulsively send you a punch. If you think you can withstand a punch from this Bureau, then suit yourself."
Even Xia Yu and his men couldn’t withstand a punch; how could these people dare to run?
They could only honestly lift Xia Yu and General Shen from the pits, then stood there, not daring to move.
"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine, I’ll tell you what to say. Just say Xia Yu and this one.... oh, General Shen, they did it. You were all forced. Just make sure to cooperate and recount everything you know!"
"Although you’ll be punished, you should keep your lives,"
"See? I’m still good to you, right?"
Chen Xuan now appeared very amiable, glancing at these people.
"Yes, Lord Chen Xuan, we’ll tell you everything we know."
"Yes, yes, we were all forced."
"Indeed, my Lord is wise, they did it all."
.....
In an instant, those guarding the gate and the people Xia Yu brought along all switched sides.
After all, nothing is more important than life.
At this moment, Xia Yu, whose face was pale, looked at those he brought tonight. Against Chen Xuan, he was outmatched, but with these people, they had received his kindness, yet with just a few words from Chen Xuan, they betrayed him.
He cursed angrily, "All along I treated you well, damn beasts... cough cough cough..."
Before he finished speaking, his rage caused him to cough up several mouthfuls of blood.
His face turned even paler.
