Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill
Chapter 458 - 230: Claw Shattering Mountains and RiversChapter 458: Chapter 230: Claw Shattering Mountains and Rivers
"Wang Xiongba, you’re courting death!"
Shen Qingshuang’s almond eyes turned frosty. She gripped the hilt of the longsword at her waist and roared in anger.
Shen Qingyao also tightened her grip on the Cold Crystal Jade in her hand, her eyes brimming with killing intent!
This Wang Xiongba had been insolent in public time and time again. He truly deserved to die!
If not for their fear of Wang Xiongba’s martial arts power, the two sisters would have likely rushed forward to fight him to the death by now.
When the people from the Wang Family suddenly appeared, Chen Cheng couldn’t help but frown.
As the saying goes, those who come are not kind, and the kind do not come. Wang Xiongba was arrogant and domineering, acting without restraint, while Wang Xiongying’s eyes held an undisguised killing intent.
’It seems today’s matter won’t be resolved peacefully,’ Chen Cheng thought to himself, turning his gaze to the middle-aged man in the profound robe.
The man was nearly fifty years old with a cold and indifferent expression. He was none other than Liu Hong, a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm expert and one of the three Vice Directors of the Linji City Demon Suppression Department, known by the nickname "Rain-Covering Swordsman."
The Rain Covering Sword Skill was a swordsmanship technique passed down from the Great Dao Sect’s Celestial Phenomenon Peak.
The Rain Covering Realm was a type of Five Elements Gui Water Realm. It condensed the Five Elements Gui Water Aura, transforming it into the Water Element to injure enemies with extremely formidable power.
As the Rain-Covering Swordsman, Liu Hong’s attainments in the Rain Covering Sword Skill were naturally profound. It was rumored that he had comprehended the Rain Covering Realm before he was even forty years old.
Of the three Vice Directors in the Linji City Demon Suppression Department, the other two were at Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection, while Liu Hong was only at Great Success in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
However, his combat power was not much weaker than the other two Vice Directors. In fact, during heavy rainstorms, Liu Hong could rely on his Rain Covering Sword Intent to become slightly stronger than them.
From beginning to end, Liu Hong never once looked at Chen Cheng or the sisters. His gaze remained fixed on the massive Green Water Toad corpse beside Chen Cheng.
The Wang Family only had seven Hospital Martial Artists with them, but all seven radiated an extremely dense Qi Blood Power. All of them were at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm or higher.
The auras of three of them were even on par with Wang Xiongying, meaning they were likely Perfect Martial Artists of the Bone Forger Realm.
Although Liu Hong was a Vice Director of the Demon Suppression Department, the Wang Family’s Patriarch, Wang Tingxuan, had looked after him in his youth, and he remained very close to the family.
Therefore, this Lord Vice Director was clearly biased toward the Wang Family and could be considered one of their own.
One martial artist at Great Success in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, one top-tier Perfect Martial Artist of the Bone Forger Realm, four Perfect Martial Artists of the Bone Forger Realm, and four martial artists at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm.
The Wang Family’s side was truly formidable. No wonder the two brothers, Wang Xiongying and Wang Xiongba, were so outrageously arrogant.
Acting so wantonly from the moment they met, they clearly intended to crush Chen Cheng’s group of three at will.
Faced with Shen Qingshuang’s rebuke, Wang Xiongba merely grinned and chuckled lewdly.
"Does Miss Qingshuang want me dead? I wonder if you have the skill to back it up!"
As he spoke, his huge eyes roamed over Shen Qingshuang’s body. A savage look appeared on his face as he repeatedly clicked his tongue.
"It’s only been a few days, and Miss Qingshuang has gotten even more beautiful. That soft waist, those firm, long legs... Tsk, tsk. You must be very comfortable to sleep with at night.
I’ve been in the mountains these past two days and I’m seriously pent up. Just sleeping with Miss Qingshuang won’t be enough. Add Miss Qingyao to the mix, and that should be about right. We can have some real fun!"
"Shut up!" Shen Qingshuang flew into a rage and went to draw her longsword, but before the blade could leave its sheath, Chen Cheng grabbed her arm.
"Senior Sister Qingshuang, I’ll handle this," Chen Cheng said, his face devoid of expression. He slowly took a few steps forward, shielding Shen Qingshuang.
Before Chen Cheng could speak, Wang Xiongba’s eyes bulged as he cursed furiously:
"You, with the surname Chen! I’m talking to Miss Shen. What are you sticking your nose in for?
Don’t tell me you want to fight me? Let me warn you, my fists are damn hard. I won’t be responsible if I accidentally kill you!"
"All of you from the Wang Family, come at me together!"
Chen Cheng rested his hand on the long saber at his waist, his voice indifferent, but his gaze was fixed on the Demon Suppression Department’s Vice Director, Liu Hong.
"Hahaha..." As if he had just heard the greatest joke, Wang Xiongba burst out laughing, pointing a thick finger at Chen Cheng.
"Have you lost your fucking mind? You actually dare to fight me!
Hahaha... Not only do you dare to fight me, but you’re telling all of us to come at you together!"
Then, he turned to Wang Xiongying and said, "Big Brother, don’t you think this Chen guy is even more arrogant than I am!
This is the first time I, Wang Xiongba, have ever seen someone so full of himself.
In a moment, when I slaughter him, I’ll definitely skin him, pull out his tendons, and then see if his bones are really any harder than anyone else’s!"
Although Wang Xiongba was brutish and simple-minded, he had a habit of always asking his big brother’s opinion before making a move.
Wang Xiongying’s sinister gaze swept over Chen Cheng. Seeing his calm and tranquil expression, like the unrippled surface of an ancient well, as if he didn’t even register Wang Xiongba’s presence, Wang Xiongying couldn’t help but feel a secret jolt of alarm!
Over the past few days, reports about Chen Cheng had been continuously reaching him.
First, Chen Cheng had captured and killed the Tier Two Demon Beast, the Red-eyed White Tiger, at Evil Tiger Ridge. Then, in Qingxi Town, he had slain the Tier Three Demon Beast, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon.
This alone had been enough to greatly shock Wang Xiongying!
The rumors that followed shocked Wang Xiongying to his core. In Fenglin Town, Chen Cheng had single-handedly charged through hordes of demon beasts, slaying many Tier Three Demon Beasts.
Such a feat was something that only Jiang Lang and Wang Xiongba, among the younger generation of martial artists in Linji City, were capable of.
In other words, Chen Cheng’s martial arts power was already no weaker than that of Jiang Lang or Wang Xiongba!
In Wang Xiongying’s opinion, this was surely an exaggeration. It was likely just hype deliberately created by the Shen Family to build a reputation for Chen Cheng.
But now, seeing Chen Cheng’s demeanor, Wang Xiongying’s expression suddenly became uncertain. ’Could it be,’ he wondered, ’that those reports were all true?’
