C29 Like Being Protected by a Woman
Xiao Chen spent an entire day to remove the sword. Both of his arms were in pain, as though they had been dislocated. This greatly exhausted his physical strength.
Clang!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The Sky-Opening landed heavily on the ground, causing a loud boom. Even the ground trembled violently.
Too heavy!
This loud sound came from Xiao Chen's courtyard, startling the others.
"What's wrong? An earthquake?! "
"What happened just now, why was there such a loud explosion?"
"Did you guys feel it? The ground was shaking just now."
Following that, everyone's gazes landed on Xiao Chen, because the loud sound came from his courtyard.
Was he going to blow up the house?
Following that, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Chen's door. It was Murong Qianer. She also heard the explosive sound and thought something happened to Xiao Chen.
However, when she pushed open the door and saw Xiao Chen lying on the ground, panting heavily while the three foot long blade smashed a huge hole in the ground, her expression turned strange.
"Xiao Chen, you …" What are you doing? Such a big commotion.
"Hehe, I just got a treasure." As he spoke, Xiao Chen pointed to the Ancient Clear Heaven Sword on the ground.
Murong Qianer walked over and picked it up, but the ancient sword did not budge.
"What kind of sword is this? It's so heavy?"
Murong Qianer could not help but ask, even with her strength, she was unable to shake him.
"The name of this sword is Open Heaven, and its weight should be more than 4000 jins. I had to use a lot of effort to bring it back to him, I'm so tired." Xiao Chen gasped for breath as he spoke.
Murong Qianer rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen in both anger and amusement.
"You can't take it out, so what do you want it for, for decoration?"
Xiao Chen did as he was told, "I am not able to take it out right now, but I will be able to do so in the future." As he spoke, he looked at Murong Qianer, revealing a faint self-confidence.
"The moment I pick up this sword, it will be time for me to challenge Su Chentian!"
Xiao Chen's words shocked Murong Qianer.
Challenge Su Chentian...
Looking at the confident look in the young man's eyes, Murong Qianer did not know why, but he was moved.
"Then you have to work hard."
"Yes."
Five days passed by in a flash. In a flash, half a month had gone by and the hunt officially started. Xiao Chen and Murong Qianer arrived together.
Both of them were fully equipped.
When the two of them arrived at the plaza, there were already over a hundred people gathered here.
They were all the genius disciples of the Blue Phoenix Academy.
Because it was a hunting event, in the moment of training, most disciples would form their own fixed groups to participate in the hunt, and the treasures they got would be equally divided.
On the square, some of the disciples were holding their own groups. Some of them had pledged allegiance to the teams that were famous for their previous hunting activities. There were also others who were recruiting their own companions and expanding their own team's strength.
When Xiao Chen and Mu Xinya had just arrived at the public square, there were people gathering around them to try to rope them in.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chen, do you have a team?" "Why don't you join us? It won't be a problem for you to become the captain." One of the youths said. He was admitted to the academy earlier than Xiao Chen, but his strength was weaker than Xiao Chen's. Thus, he could only call him Senior Martial Brother.
"Senior Murong, you don't have a team, right? Are you interested in joining us?"
"Join us. Our team will be better."
"Bullshit! We're obviously stronger than you guys!"
"Do you even have any shame?"
"Don't …"
When Xiao Chen and Murong Qianer saw that the two of them were arguing, they could not help but look at each other. Then, they said to them, "We temporarily do not plan on joining any team. We plan to take action alone."
When the two teams heard this, they could only leave and continue to rope in others. After all, they were strong and didn't need a team. However, they couldn't.
Just as the two of them were feeling the lively atmosphere in the plaza, Xiao Chen suddenly discovered a few familiar figures.
Ranking number five, Situ Wu!
Seventh place on the Blue Wind Ranking, Ye Chen!
Blue Phoenix 8th, Ling Shuang!
"This time, it's going to be lively. There's quite a few people who are ranked in the top ten of the Blue Phoenix Ranking out." Counting Murong Qianer and herself, half of the people had already come to participate in the hunt, while the other five might not.
In addition, there were rumours that there would also be direct disciples of the elder.
Murong Qianer glanced at them and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes. She could not help but say to Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, let's go take a look elsewhere. There is nothing to see here."
Xiao Chen was startled, "Go where?"
"Anywhere." Murong Qianer urged.
However, it was already too late. Two youths walked over, with smiles on their faces, giving them a graceful bearing. However, Murong Qianer's expression was not very good.
"It's all your fault. You can't leave, but now trouble's coming." Murong Qianer stared at Xiao Chen and said softly. Xiao Chen looked at the two people who were walking over.
Situ Wu, Ye Chen!
"Qian'er, long time no see. You look more and more beautiful." Situ Wu was the first to speak, a smile hung on his face, making him look like he was bathing in the spring breeze, but Murong Qianer seemed to not buy it, he looked at him and blandly said: "Thank you, but you, are getting more and more annoying."
Her tone was filled with disgust.
Xiao Chen could tell that Murong Qianer did not like them.
The smile on Situ Wu's face froze for a moment, and then he looked at Xiao Chen. Looking at the two of them standing side by side, his gaze turned deeper, "Please leave, I want to talk to Qian'Er."
There was arrogance in his voice.
"Why should I leave?"
Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently, "I am fine."
Situ Wu's expression was cold, "Don't fail to appreciate my kindness, or else you will regret it."
"Who doesn't know how to appreciate favors? "Qian'er said she hates you, so please leave. Don't stand here and be a nuisance." Xiao Chen did not give in at all. He was arrogant, and so was Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen, don't think that you can act so arrogantly just because you have strength. In my eyes, you are nothing. If you do not scram, I will help you scram."
"You can try."
The two of them were at loggerheads, attracting quite a few onlookers.
"After Xiao Chen finished fighting the ancient city, he has offended Situ Wu. He sure is brave."
"Who doesn't know that Situ Wu likes Murong Qianer? But this Xiao Chen is so close to Murong Qianer.
"Although Xiao Chen is vicious, I am afraid he will not be able to win against Situ Wu."
"..."
Just as the two were about to make a move, Murong Qianer spoke coldly, "Situ Wu, what are you doing?"
Situ Wu laughed: "I'll help you teach those who don't know what's good for you a lesson. Let him know, not everyone can stand by your side."
"I don't need you to concern yourself with my matters, please leave."
Murong Qianer's cold face did not sound good either.
"I'd be happy to help."
Murong Qianer's face turned completely cold.
"I said, please leave. Don't you understand?"
Situ Wu glanced at Xiao Chen and said in disdain, "Xiao Chen, do you only know how to stand behind a woman and let out your last breath? You are not a man."
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently, "You do not need to care whether I am a man or not. However, I have the ability to stand behind a woman. You can't even stand if you want to."
Murong Qianer could not help but smile.
Situ Wu's face turned slightly ugly, "Xiao Chen, if you have the ability, you can always hide behind Qian'Er. Otherwise, you will suffer."
Xiao Chen was fearless.
"Qian'er's back is pretty good. She's fragrant and soft, unlike some people who don't even have the chance to talk. Hurry up and get out of here, otherwise, it'll just make you more annoying."
"Humph!" Situ Wu turned and left.
After Situ Wu left, Murong Qianer glared at Xiao Chen and snorted, "My back is both soft and fragrant? You relied on it? "
Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly, "I am spouting nonsense."
"Do you like the women behind the scenes?"
Xiao Chen said matter-of-factly, "I like being protected by women. I have a sense of security."
"Scram..."
