A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 206 A strange scene

"As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water! The Quan family has the Wild Boar Mountain, a natural treasure trove of medicinal materials, at their back. In the past one or two years, they have been providing medicinal materials to the Ximen family and have become one of the Ximen family's stable sources of medicinal materials. If Tang Wanhong hadn't been in a hurry to use the money, the Quan family could have actually raised this pig even fatter before slaughtering it!"

Shen Chen said this with a twinkling look in his eyes, and reached out to close the large box on the ground in the middle of the secret room.

In fact, he also knew that next year would be a year of performance evaluation, and his elder brother was obsessed with power and wanted to be promoted. This would require him to make connections everywhere, and his family was poor, so only his younger brother could do such a bloody job!
The moment Shen Chen closed the box, the people beside him breathed a sigh of relief. With such a huge fortune in front of them, how could they not be greedy? However, due to Shen Chen's strictness and power, no one dared to show it.

Shen Chen naturally knew that the people he recruited were not good people. So, he used them, but also guarded against them!
"Hu Hong, Zhou Zhong, you two carry the boxes up!" Shen Chen turned his head and glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice.

Suddenly, two burly men walked over, supported the box with their hands, bent their waists, took a deep breath, and suddenly lifted the big box up!

Shen Chen's gloomy eyes swept across the small secret room, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!"

Everyone followed along the stone steps and walked out of the secret room.

The secret room had already been searched thoroughly. Although there were still a few boxes, they only contained account books and silk and cotton cloth. In Shen Chen's eyes, they were of little value and were not even worth a fraction of the gold and jewelry in the box.

A group of people walked up the stairs. Shen Chen stood behind Hu Hong and Zhou Zhong who were carrying boxes, and walked in the middle of the team.

The one lingering at the end of the team was a thin man. Seeing that everyone had left the secret room, he stood on a few stone steps at the exit. Suddenly, he bent down and picked up a small ingot of gold that was pressed on the sole of his shoe.

He actually kept rolling the gold ingot with his feet as he walked.

But as soon as he grabbed the gold ingot, his eyes lit up with joy and he was ready to put it away.

Almost at the same time, a flying knife came from the entrance of the secret room, and it shot in with a flash of light! The flying knife was silent, and at a strange angle, it hit him directly between the eyebrows!
Duan Rong hid behind the rockery, his spiritual consciousness enveloped him, his internal energy infused, and with one blow of the knife, he blasted a bloody hole in his forehead, and blood gushed out, mixed with strands of milky white brain matter...

The thin man had just touched the gold, but before he could hold it tightly, it fell to the ground with a clang and bounced down the stone steps...

The thin man's face was covered in blood, his eyes were empty, his body swayed, and he fell backwards, rolling down the stone steps...

The thin man was the last person in the team, and suddenly he made a noise...

The crisp sound of gold falling to the ground and the dull sound of a body hitting the ground sounded almost at the same time...

Everyone turned around and looked at the hole of the secret room entrance on the ground behind them. Even Hu Hong and Zhou Zhong, who were carrying the box horizontally, turned their heads to look there!
"In the secret room! What's going on?"

At the moment when everyone turned around after hearing the sound, Duan Rong suddenly jumped out from behind the rockery, and then he performed the Cloud Snake Step at the Minor Success Realm, and his figure instantly became as fast as a ghost!

And the afterimage of a plum blossom bloomed beside Duan Rong's hand the moment he rushed out of the rockery...

It was the perfect moment for hidden killing, and he grasped the timing so precisely. Naturally, his first killing move was directed at Shen Chen, who was at the great perfection realm!

As soon as Shen Chenfu turned around, his eyes fixed, and he looked towards the entrance of the secret room. The first thought in his mind was that there was something wrong in the secret room.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, his heart skipped a beat and the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up!
After all, Shen Chen was a warrior who had achieved the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm. The plum blossom willow leaf knife shot by Duan Rong was still several inches away from the back of his head, and he felt the fierce murderous intent.

He leaned forward suddenly, and at the same time the flying knife almost passed by his scalp at the back of his head!

The flying knife passed by silently, and a tuft of broken hair fluttered in the sunlight!
Shen Chen felt cold all over. He turned his head slightly and saw Duan Rong next to the rockery. The afternoon sun shone from behind Duan Rong, casting a halo around him. Shen Chen could only see Duan Rong's quickly flashing figure but could not see his face in the shade clearly.

I saw flying knives coming out from the dark shadow and shooting towards the crowd!

The moment Shen Chen leaned forward, Duan Rong knew that the flying knife could no longer kill Shen Chen.

The moment everyone turned around after hearing the sound, the first knife he suddenly shot out was the most concealed one!

Once Shen Chen dodges this knife, the flying knife behind him will not be able to hurt him! After all, he is a master of the fourth level of internal energy!
Since the flying knife could no longer kill Shen Chen, Duan Rong decided to get rid of these troublesome mosquitoes and flies first!
Among these people, all were at the first and second levels of the Inner Breath Realm. In front of Duan Rong's Plum Blossom Willow Leaf Knife, they were like lambs to be slaughtered!

The plum blossoms are blooming!

Flying knives were shot out!

Duan Rong's figure flashed left and right, and the flying knife was at a weird angle, taking lives silently!
The dozen or so heads looked back in unison, and as the sky lightened, a big bloody hole appeared on the back of their heads.

Hu Hong and Zhou Zhong, who were carrying the box, felt a sudden chill at the back of their heads. The next moment, they saw that bloody holes had exploded on the backs of several heads in front of them, and thick blood mixed with brain matter flowed out!

Shen Chen turned over and stood up, and then he saw a strange scene in front of him. In the afternoon sun, ten heads were looking at the same place, and the backs of their heads that were exposed were all gushing with blood...

At this moment, the big box fell to the ground with a bang...

As the big box fell, the ten strange figures with bloody heads fell forward in unison like wheat blown down by the wind.

Shen Chen just glanced over here and then looked at Duan Rong with twitching eyelids.

He had already seen Duan Rong's realm. Although he was only at the third level of Inner Breath Realm, he was an expert in Qinggong and was good at using hidden weapons. He didn't know that there was such a person in Xiangu County.

Could he be passing by?

Shen Chen said, "Brother, if you're after money, we can split the box in half."

He never cared about the lives of his brothers, and he was not sure he could kill the person in front of him easily.

The afternoon sun shone on Duan Rong's face from the side. He looked at Shen Chen with deep hatred in his eyes.

Duan Rong looked at Shen Chen and said coldly: "Your life is useful to me!"

The muscles on Shen Chen's face twitched, and he said, "I'm just a martial artist at the minor success stage. I don't know where you get such a big tone from?"

As Shen Chen spoke, he attacked Duan Rong with a sword!
The contempt and hatred in Duan Rong's eyes, as well as the words "your life is useful to me", obviously hurt Shen Chen.

After all, Shen Chen was a great warrior who had achieved the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm. Duan Rong did not dare to take it lightly. He flashed, holding the oxtail knife, performing the Cloud Snake Step, and fighting with him with the Thunder Smoke Knife.

The figure swayed left and right, and the shadow of the sword was shrouded in mist!
Because of his weak internal energy, Duan Rong's sword moves were all fake, and he didn't dare to touch the heavy sword.

Shen Chen didn't dare to advance rashly at first, but after trying a few times, he soon discovered that Duan Rong's sword moves were all flashy and empty moves.

Shen Chen sneered in his heart and his sword moves became fierce, but Duan Rong retreated step by step, and only relied on the Cloud Snake Step at the minor success stage to barely avoid Shen Chen's fatal move!
Shen Chen wanted to attack again, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly blurred!
