Chapter 1767 (Raw 1779): Smiling Daughter Pavilion

It was just a trace of murderous intent in Xiao Chen’s eyes, but the old man protecting Long Bo discovered it immediately.

The old man shouted and promptly attacked.

Up on the roof, Xiao Chen quickly thought of countermeasures.

Should he fight or flee?

However, fleeing was clearly impractical. Now that Xiao Chen was exposed, how could he walk out of this Cluster Lord’s Residence?

In that case, there was only one path left to take.

With one thought, Xiao Chen attacked decisively, making his move before that old man, and pressed his palm down. His entire body descended with the shattered tiles of the roof.

In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen dodged the old man’s attack and charged at Long Bo.

The old man had thought that Xiao Chen would definitely flee after being discovered. He did not expect Xiao Chen to be so bold as to attack instead of running.

The old man’s body happened to brush by Xiao Chen’s. When he reached the roof, Xiao Chen already descended and pressed over to Long Bo.

This enraged the old man. To think that he was fooled by a Venerate. “Damn it!” he roared furiously and spun around to grab Xiao Chen.

Long Bo remained calm while seated on the host’s seat. He smiled coldly. “You are just an insignificant Venerate, yet you dare to sneak-attack me. You overestimate yourself.”

The spot between Long Bo’s eyebrows glowed, and a vast will of soul immediately surged out.

Xiao Chen did not even have to think. The azure-colored dragon seal in his Soul Pool released a bright light. Then, a will of soul containing the Divine Might of the Azure Dragon charged out fearlessly.

“Boom!”

The two wills of soul clashed. There was no suspense at all. Xiao Chen had the powerful Soul Energy from the Faux God Flame, which was supported by the Azure Dragon’s Divine Might.

This crushed Long Bo’s weak will of soul and continued to pour over, firmly suppressing Long Bo; he could not move at all.

All this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. At the same time, the old man’s figure also launched over.

It looked like the old man would touch Xiao Chen and suppress him in the next moment.

“Stop. Take another step, and I will kill him!”

Relying on the will of soul, Xiao Chen reached out and grabbed Long Bo, turning around quickly.

At this moment, the black-clad old man was only half a step away from Xiao Chen.

Had Xiao Chen been just the slightest bit slower, the old man would have immediately suppressed him and killed him on the spot.

“Let go of Seventh Young Master!”

Xiao Chen held on to Long Bo’s neck with one hand. He squeezed a little, and Long Bo’s pale face immediately showed pain.

This scared the black-clad old man into backing off, not daring to act rashly.

At this moment, Xiao Chen relaxed slightly. He thought to himself, That was dangerous.

To think that this black-clad old man is actually a terrifying late-stage Star Venerate. If I really fought such a person, he would need only one move to kill me.

Of course, that was if Xiao Chen did not use the Divine Might from the Faux God Flame in his sea of consciousness.

“Xiao Chen!”

Things happened too quickly. The instant Xiao Chen landed, a middle-aged man hidden in the darkness immediately shielded the Cluster Lord. Then, the two moved very far back.

When Lan Luo saw Xiao Chen, she called his name with a hard-to-hide expression of pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing Lan Luo’s cry, Xiao Chen nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

“You are not dead? Where are my Eighteen Shadow Guards?”

After discovering Xiao Chen’s identity, Long Bo was stunned. The person who held the Dragon Race totem was actually not dead yet.

Instead, Xiao Chen barged into the Cluster Lord’s Residence and restrained him.

The development of the situation completely surpassed his expectations.

“Xiao Chen, don’t be rash. Let him down. I’ll help you deal...”

After the pleasant surprise, Lan Luo calmed down. This was not the time to be happy.

Xiao Chen is here for revenge. Now that he has suppressed Long Bo, if he rashly kills him, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Father will definitely be livid. At that time, no matter how capable Xiao Chen is, he won’t be able to survive.

No, I definitely cannot let that happen.

As Lan Luo thought this, she became anxious again.

Lan Luo was not willing to lose the hope that just emerged again. She had already experienced it once before. She did not want to experience that stifling feeling and the pain of despair anew.

She needed to advise Xiao Chen to stop.

Long Bo’s eyes narrowed in an insidious expression. He was not worried about being restrained by Xiao Chen. He said coldly, “Senior An, there is no need to care about me. Just attack and kill this bastard. He won’t dare do anything to me.”

“Yes!”

Cold cruelty glinted in the black-clad old man’s eyes. Then, his figure flashed as he charged over.

“Crack!”

The old man heard a crisp sound from Long Bo’s neck. Then, Long Bo’s entire head twisted to the back, and his body went limp as it dropped to the ground.

If Xiao Chen would die anyway, then there was no need to be nice with Long Bo and resign himself to death.

Long Bo’s understanding of Xiao Chen was too simple. He never thought about how this person had dared to barge into the Cluster Lord’s Residence.

How could Xiao Chen be someone indecisive and wishy-washy?

The place fell deathly silent. The black-clad old man was dumbfounded.

This was the Soaring Dragon Marquis’s seventh son.

Why did this white-clad person kill Long Bo at the drop of a hat, not hesitating at all? Decisive and merciless.

The black-clad old man was also very naive.

Why should Xiao Chen hesitate? What was there to hesitate for and ponder?

Should Xiao Chen feel conflicted and do nothing, then let the old man smash him to death with one palm strike?

Xiao Chen was not that stupid and silly. All the more, he would not be that soft.

While everyone was stunned, Xiao Chen turned and quickly left the place.

“Young Master?”

Panicking, the black-clad old man rushed to Long Bo’s limp body and bellowed in rage.

The old man’s voice contained some despair. As Long Bo’s personal guard, he had failed to protect his master.

Naturally, the old man was unlikely to escape death. He was very clear on how horrifying the Soaring Dragon Marquis was. At this moment, only fear and despair remained.

Xiao Yu, send out my orders. Let Young Master Xiao leave. No one is to block him.

Yes!

After sending out that voice projection, Lan Luo felt somewhat sad. Xiao Chen had not listened to her this time, either.

She could not explain why she felt sad.

“Big Brother Bai, help me take a look and see if my seventh elder brother can be saved.”

Lan Luo was also startled as she looked at Long Bo’s body. Who could have imagined Xiao Chen to be so decisive?

“There is no need to look. He won’t die. However, his will of soul was crushed earlier, and he lost so much of his life aura. Even if he is saved, he will be crippled. It will be hard for him to recover.”

That middle-aged man’s eyes were very sharp. With only one glance, he managed to diagnose Long Bo’s situation.

After all, while Long Bo was dying, he was still breathing, and his soul had not scattered yet.

Xiao Chen did not have time to deal a heavy blow before leaving. Hence, Long Bo managed to survive.

The process of leaving the Cluster Lord’s Residence was much easier than Xiao Chen anticipated. He did not have to use the Divine Might as he initially planned.

He did not even draw the Tyrant Saber.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen understood why without needing to guess: Lan Luo had made arrangements.

Now, he owed her two favors. He sighed softly in his heart and arrived on the street.

While in deep thought, Xiao Chen headed for the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.

He definitely could not remain in Soaring Dragon City for long, so he would have to find another place to dispose of the treasures that he had on hand.

However, that was not urgent. After all, these were rare and precious natural treasures. Selling them would not be a problem.

Xiao Chen was in a pretty good mood. This was how he had always been. He repaid kindness with kindness and evil with evil.

He was decisive in killing and quick to settle kindness or grudges.

If a gentleman could take revenge in one night, he would absolutely not wait for ten years.

[TL Note: This is in reference to a Chinese idiom, “a gentleman will not worry about waiting for ten years to take revenge.” The closest English equivalent would be “revenge is a dish best served cold.”]

If one was restrained by concerns over everything while one was alive, what was the point of living?

After killing Long Bo, Xiao Chen did not feel any worry.

Firstly, the other party had already sent assassins to take Xiao Chen’s life while Xiao Chen was on the way back.

Secondly, after being restrained by Xiao Chen, Long Bo had overestimated himself, still wanting to kill Xiao Chen.

There was a saying, if one did not look for trouble, one would not die.

Killing Long Bo would not leave Xiao Chen with any mental blocks at all.

Without venting his anger, he would have a hard time calming down.

Now that he had vented his anger, his heart naturally was serene.

Now, Xiao Chen only wanted to find somewhere to have a good drink.

Of course, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion was his first choice. Furthermore, he could ask about headliner Ling Long and his martial nephew, Ling Yu.

After a while, Xiao Chen arrived at the Smiling Daughter Pavilion.

At this moment, it was night. Soaring Dragon City was brightly lit with lanterns.

This should be the peak hour for the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s business. However, when Xiao Chen arrived there, he could only describe the place as quiet. It was not as noisy and bustling as when he first came. action

It seemed that the Smiling Daughter Pavilion had fallen in decline.
