Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Ambush! One Sword Kills Four People!

The road ahead was blocked. Luo Cheng reined in his horse and stopped, calmly looking forward.

Four burly men emerged from the woods, each radiating intense Essence Energy fluctuations. All were Tongxuan Realm experts!

Three of them were Tongxuan Realm Second Layer martial artists, while the leader, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, exuded the strongest aura. He was a Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Late Stage martial artist!

“Boss, you truly have foresight! This brat really showed up!”

One of the burly men flattered the bearded leader holding a spear in the center.

The bearded man spat on the ground, looked at Luo Cheng, and chuckled grimly:

“He rode into Linjiang City on horseback, so he’d surely take the dry road back! This path is the only way to return to Xuanyuan Sect! If he wants to go back to the sect, he’ll inevitably pass through here! So, there was no need for us to stake out Linjiang City. Waiting here was enough!”

Luo Cheng rotated the Storage Spirit Ring in his hand and said casually, “Smart. As a reward, I’ll make your deaths quick.”

“Haha, did you hear that? He’s going to give us a quick death?”

“A brat who hasn’t even fully grown up is all talk!”

“Kid, hand over your wealth obediently, and maybe we’ll leave you with an intact corpse!”

The burly men laughed uproariously, as if they’d heard the funniest joke.

Luo Cheng couldn’t be bothered to waste words. With a strong stomp, his body shot forward like a great wild goose, rushing toward the four men at an unimaginable speed.

“He dares resist?!”

Seeing Luo Cheng charge directly at them, the bearded man’s face twisted with malice as he prepared to strike.

Whoosh!

At that moment, Luo Cheng pushed his Mist Shadow Step to the limit, his silhouette accelerating abruptly, leaving dozens of afterimages behind him. In an instant, he leaped twenty paces forward and appeared before the four men, unleashing a punch.

“Watch out!”

The bearded man’s expression shifted drastically in shock.

The next moment.

Boom!

The bodies of two men who failed to evade were directly blasted apart by the sheer power of Luo Cheng’s punch, spraying blood everywhere.

Luo Cheng swept his fist sideways, and another man’s head exploded, bursting into a mist of blood.

“Brat, I’ll flay you alive!”

The bearded man roared with rage upon seeing three of his trusted subordinates killed in the blink of an eye, his Essence Energy surging as he thrust his spear toward Luo Cheng’s back, the Gun Force as swift as lightning!

Luo Cheng remained expressionless, raising his fist to meet the strike head-on.

Boom!

When the two forces clashed, a terrifying shockwave erupted, stripping away a layer of dirt from the ground!

Agh!

The bearded man’s burly figure was sent flying immediately, crashing to the ground and vomiting a mouthful of blood. He felt as though his internal organs had been displaced.

“You! How is this possible…”

Raising his head to look at Luo Cheng, the bearded man’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He was a veteran Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Late Stage martial artist, yet he couldn’t believe he couldn’t withstand even one punch from Luo Cheng!

It wasn’t just a matter of endurance—he was utterly defeated! One punch had shattered his internal organs!

The opponent was merely a Tongxuan Realm Second Layer Middle Stage martial artist!

“Young brother, I failed to recognize your might! Please… spare my life, and I’ll give you all my wealth…”

As Luo Cheng’s gaze fell upon him, the bearded man turned pale, scrambling to beg for mercy.

Luo Cheng remained indifferent and struck him with a palm.

Thud! The bearded man’s entire body was instantly crushed into the ground, with blood spurting everywhere.

Glaring at the bearded man’s corpse, a glint flashed in Luo Cheng’s eyes as he realized he had underestimated his own strength.

The bearded man was an experienced Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Late Stage martial artist with considerable combat prowess. Previously, Luo Cheng would have needed to exert great effort and go all out to kill him.

But now, it took just a casual palm strike—effortless and easy!

Ignoring the corpses, Luo Cheng returned to his Flame Jade Lion and retrieved a Detoxification Pill to administer.

Clop clop clop…

At that moment, a chaotic chorus of hoofbeats grew louder.

Luo Cheng turned to look.

Under the hazy moonlight, a large group of riders galloped swiftly toward him.

Leading the charge were Cheng Gong and Qin Ming and their companions.

Their horses were exceptional steeds capable of covering thousands of miles in a day, leaving the rest of the group behind.

The charging horses were rapid; in just a few quick moments, they had drawn near.

“Haha! Luo Cheng, why aren’t you running anymore?”

Cheng Gong urged his horse forward, grinning coldly with a playful sneer at Luo Cheng. “Don’t tell me you’re deliberately waiting for us here?”

Upon hearing this, those in the know burst into laughter, their eyes filled with mockery as they looked at Luo Cheng like a lamb waiting for slaughter.

Luo Cheng raised his brows, staring at Cheng Gong, and said, “So, you tampered with my horse?”

“What if I did?”

Cheng Gong admitted outright, his long, narrow eyes glinting coldly. “Did you really think you’d escape under the cover of night? Utterly laughable! From the moment you left Linjiang City, there’s only been one path before you—death!”

Luo Cheng said flatly, “You’ve only spoken one truth so far, and that’s that I’m indeed waiting for you here.”

“Haha! Still boasting like this? Truly ignorant until you face death!”

Ren Qian sneered viciously, his face dark and ominous. “Don’t think you’ll escape easily! Last time, you broke my arms and legs. This time, I’ll repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, making you beg for life and death alike!”

“Is that so?”

Luo Cheng’s expression didn’t change, but his gaze shifted to the group trailing behind them.

There, a large cluster of figures rapidly approached—at least two or three dozen men, each exuding powerful Essence Energy fluctuations. Among them, three individuals had auras no weaker than Cheng Gong’s, evidently Tongxuan Realm Third Layer Peak martial artists!

Qin Ming frowned and said, “Finish this quickly; lingering invites trouble.”

“What’s there to fear? With us here, let’s see who dares intervene!”

Cheng Gong roared as he channeled his Essence Energy and shouted threateningly, “Fierce Cloud Sect disciple Cheng Gong is conducting business here. Outsiders, stay away, or bear the consequences!”

The murderous intent in his voice traveled far.

“Fierce Cloud Sect disciple Cheng Gong!”

“And Xuanyuan Sect disciple Qin Ming!”

Many wandering martial artists, upon seeing the two, showed some apprehension, hesitating twenty paces away.

Of course, not everyone was intimidated.

Nearly ten riders advanced forward, led by a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a face like red gold, laughing heartily:

“Chen Gong or palace, I couldn’t care less! Shi Kui doesn’t play by your rules! Whoever has the bigger fist gets to call the shots! I’m set on taking this brat’s head!”

“Courting death!”

Seeing someone ignore his authority, Cheng Gong erupted with fury, murderous intent surging as he clawed his five fingers toward Shi Kui.

Shi Kui snorted coldly, his hair and beard bristling as he drew his long blade and swung it forcefully.

Boom!

Claw force clashed with sword energy, exploding powerfully. The mount beneath Shi Kui was torn apart by the impact, blood raining down as Shi Kui staggered backward, his expression extremely grave.

Cheng Gong was also forced off his horse, his face dark as he prepared to attack again, only to be stopped by Qin Ming. “Enough; don’t complicate things.”

Cheng Gong shot a cold glance at Shi Kui, snorting disdainfully, “You can have Luo Cheng’s head!”

Although Shi Kui’s strength was somewhat inferior to his own, he wasn’t a simple opponent. A serious fight would take dozens of exchanges to determine the victor, especially with so many others watching and waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Unexpectedly!

“You think we’re beggars?”

Shi Kui cursed angrily. “Everyone knows this brat carries a fortune worth billions. You honestly expect to hoard it all for yourselves? Aren’t you a little too greedy? Wait—where’s he?”

Shi Kui, intending to gesture at Luo Cheng, suddenly realized he’d vanished from his spot.

The next moment.

A dazzling sword light soared through the air.

Slash! Slash! Slash…

Four sect disciples standing near Cheng Gong and Qin Ming were instantly sliced in half, their bodies erupting into a shower of blood and flesh!
