Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Young Master Chen You, so you killed those two giant steel pythons?"

On the way, after hearing about what had just happened, Shen Wanqian was very surprised.

Because in his opinion, Chen You looked very young.

So young, yet he managed to kill two giant pythons!

Those around Chen You looked at him in surprise.

Wang Youchao looked at Tang Yan, his expression quite formal: "Brother Chen, it seems you are also very strong, probably about the same as me."

Tang Yan: "…………"

"Ahem, I'm here." Chen You couldn't help but cough to remind him, "Seriously, how can you not see me at such a close distance?"

This is not the first time.

I seriously suspect that Wang You did it on purpose, just to see the beautiful Tang Yan.

"Excuse me!" Wang You withdrew his cold, arrogant gaze and looked at Chen You. "When I was young, I was ambushed and poison powder was sprinkled into my eyes, which damaged my vision!"

Tang Yan said, "I've heard you have exceptional hearing, but why do you always mistake people for others?"

"Have you ever heard of the Listening Wind Blade Technique?"

Wang You smiled slightly, then revealed an arrogant expression: "My hearing only reaches an unbelievable level when I use the Listening Wind Blade Technique. I don't use my extraordinary hearing normally because it consumes too much energy."

"I see."

Chen You and Tang Yan suddenly realized.

They said, "If this person can't even recognize the person speaking, how can he fight?"

Now it seems there's a reason for that.

However, Tang Yan suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "But I heard that you killed your own men when you were fighting the enemy, which caused no one to want to fight with you afterwards. Why is that?"

"Uh..." Wang You was embarrassed.

"Hahaha…………"

Shen Wanqian burst into laughter, offering to explain for Wang You: "You two are unaware of this, but I've heard about it! Brother Wang You injured one of his senior brothers, who had bullied a junior sister, so he was standing up for her. That's why I asked Wang You to escort me!"

In Shen Wanqian's view, he was very wealthy and could hire a very powerful person to help him.

But the question is, can he trust those powerful people?

What if they kidnap him and rob him?

Therefore, the most important factor in his hiring of bodyguards was their character!

Wang You raised an eyebrow, wrinkled his nose, and said, "Young Master Shen, you didn't hire me because I'm very strong, did you?"

"Uh...that's one of the reasons! After all, who hasn't heard of the Listening Wind Blade?" Shen Wanqian said, his lips twitching.

"It's the Invincible Wind-Listening Blade!!"

"Ah, right, right, right!!" Shen Wanqian laughed heartily, then looked at the others behind him: "Brother Chen, these people are all skilled as well."

Following Shen Wanqian's guidance, the powerful figures who had been following behind slowly nodded to Chen You.

Walking on the far left was a burly giant who was nearly eight feet tall.

He was shirtless, his muscles twisted like a dragon, his skin had a cold bronze luster, and he carried a giant iron hammer the size of a door on his back.

"I am the Mountain-Shaking Hammer, Bear Overlord!!"

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man with a thin, withered figure slowly walked forward.

The old man had a withered face, sunken eyes, and wore a drab gray hemp robe. His hands, however, were an eerie black and emitted a faint, nauseating, sweet-smelling odor.

"I am but a humble old man, and my skills are Poisonous Palm and Poisonous Lone Peak." The old man's voice was hoarse and dry, like two pieces of broken wood rubbing together.

Beside Du Gufeng stood a pair of twin brothers who looked almost identical.

Both men were dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with two swords hanging at their waists. Their eyes were sharp as eagles, and they exuded a fierce aura that was extremely tacit.

The man on the left said coldly, "I am Qi Feng, the Twin Blades of Wind and Thunder!"

The person on the right then said, "Brother, Qi Lei!"

"Mountain-Shaking Hammer" Xiong Ba, "Poisonous Palm" Du Gufeng, "Wind and Thunder Double Blades" Qi Brothers!

These men were all ruthless figures in the local underworld.

However, their cultivation levels are all around the third or fourth rank.

The reason is quite simple.

For Shen Wanqian, people who are too strong are difficult to control and have many hidden agendas.

Anyway, he already has a real expert by his side.

Chen You subconsciously looked at a veiled girl in a black dress behind Shen Wanqian.

This person was like an ordinary mortal, without any aura.

But she was so calm.

She was so calm that her arrival here was like a picnic, showing absolutely no signs of turmoil.

There are only two possibilities for such a person.

First, this person is an idiot.

But that is clearly impossible.

That leaves only the second possibility.

This woman is incredibly powerful!

Because she is so strong, she has remained so calm throughout her journey.

"Next, I need to be careful of this woman," Chen You thought to himself.

At this moment, those usually arrogant experts were all staring intently at Chen You, their eyes filled with undisguised solemnity and apprehension.

Even as they spoke, their gazes unconsciously drifted toward the two enormous steel python corpses not far away, and their smooth, mirror-like cuts.

They are indeed experts, but that's precisely why they can see the terror of that strike!

The fact that this seemingly young man in white could instantly behead two unparalleled steel pythons shows that his strength is absolutely breathtaking!

"Brother Chen You is so powerful, you must come from a major sect, right?" Walking through the dense forest, Shen Wanqian chatted casually.

"Just a small sect," Chen You said without explicitly stating it.

Seeing that Chen You didn't want to talk about it, Shen Wanqian didn't press him. He smiled and said, "Brother Chen, we can cooperate from now on. It is said that there are many treasures in the sect's ruins. I, Shen Wanqian, will definitely not embezzle them all. We should share the good fortune together."

"Okay, but we hope Young Master Shen will keep his promise! After all, there are many people here, and if you don't follow the rules, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Haha, if Brother Chen You doesn't trust me, you can go and ask around. I, Shen Wanqian, keep my promises! Of course, Brother Chen You must also keep your promises."

"I am a gentleman."

As he spoke, Chen humorously communicated with the prayer beads.

"Research for information about me in the vicinity."

He has already made contact with these people and is now gathering information; perhaps he can learn something about them.

[Information 1: Shen Wanqian, son of Shen Yi, the richest man in the capital, is accompanied by the most powerful woman by his side—a veiled girl in a black dress! This woman is named Bai Zhiruo, a sixth-rank swordswoman, skilled in the Phantom Sword Technique, whose every strike draws blood!!]

However, she promised Shen Wanqian that she would only help him three times! After that, she would leave. Therefore, Shen Wanqian gathered a group of wandering martial artists! These artists would be sufficient to handle ordinary enemies…

[Information 2: Wang You, nicknamed the Wind-Listening Swordsman, proclaims himself the "Invincible Wind-Listening Swordsman"!! This swordsmanship grants extraordinary hearing, but consumes a tremendous amount of energy. His eyesight is extremely poor; everything he sees is a blurry mess, he can only make out outlines. That's why he always confuses you with Tang Yan, because your outlines are very similar…]

[Information 3: Tang Yan possesses a unique hidden weapon called the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. It can kill a seventh-rank master, but can only be used once. It's her strongest trump card!!]

[But her mother stole this hidden weapon from a secret room, and her father is unaware of it. If he finds out, he will face severe consequences under family rules.]

[Information 4: Cheng Changyin, along with members of other sects, launched another attack on the formation this afternoon, but unfortunately failed again. The group is resting outside the formation...]

[Information 5: Gao He, the leader of the Salt Gang, is only a third-rank expert, but he possesses multiple bottles of poison powder capable of incapacitating fifth-rank masters.]

…………

…………

"Tang Yan doesn't treat me like one of her own."

After reading the message, Chen You was speechless.

He took such good care of her, but he never expected that this girl had such a deadly weapon—a hidden secret weapon!

"However, it's pretty much what I guessed. That veiled girl in the black dress is indeed extraordinary; she's actually a sixth-rank swordsman!!"

As far as Chen You knew, those with strength above the fifth rank were not people who could be bought with money.

Because people with this kind of financial strength are usually not short of money.

Even if you were to hire them with money, it would be an astronomical price.

Most of them use rare and precious materials, personal connections, or other things that make them attractive to experts.

Therefore, it can be seen that Shen Wanqian was able to persuade Bai Zhiruo not by spending money.

The specific conditions were not provided in the information.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhiruo was only willing to help him three times...

"It seems everyone has their trump cards up their sleeves on this trip..."

Tang Yan, you have a storm of pear blossom needles!

Gao He possesses a highly poisonous substance capable of incapacitating even a fifth-rank expert.

Wang You, using the Listening Wind Blade Technique, possesses exceptional hearing. Judging from his confident demeanor, he must be quite formidable.

Shen Wanqian was accompanied by a sixth-rank swordsman...

"Fortunately, I have a trump card too! The rare treasure, the Crimson Broken Dagger..."

Thinking of this, Chen You thought to himself: This really is the grand stage of Snake Island, don't come if you don't have a job!

Who will ultimately benefit the most from this trip?
