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

"Help! Please, please help me!"

Chen You looked in the direction of the sound.

She was a woman in her thirties, and her silk skirt had been torn in several places.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered in mud and tear stains, and blood seeped from one of her bare feet. She looked utterly miserable.

"Please, sirs, save my husband!" The woman knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically as she pleaded in a tearful voice, "My husband and I were passing through this area when we encountered wicked bandits entrenched in the mountains! My husband is being attacked by them while protecting me as we escape... Please, please save him!"

The carriage came to an abrupt stop.

Zhao Zi was kind-hearted, and upon hearing such a pitiful cry for help, she immediately lifted the carriage curtain and jumped down from the carriage.

He turned to the two guards from the Zhao family and instructed them, "Go and see if you can help. Do your best to help."

"Yes, Miss!" the two subordinates replied, preparing to step forward to inquire about the situation.

Beside the carriage, Chen You's eyes narrowed slightly.

Based on the information he had gathered earlier, he knew that this woman was suspicious.

Just as he was about to speak up to dissuade her, Xu Changqing spoke first.

"Miss Zhao, wait! Something's not right. This is the middle of nowhere, with no houses for miles around. The timing of this woman's appearance is far too coincidental. Besides... if there really are bandits chasing us in that dense forest, why is there not a sound of fighting at all?"

Upon hearing Xu Changqing's analysis, Zhao Zi's body trembled slightly, and her brows furrowed instantly: "That makes sense..."

Although she was naive and soft-hearted, she was not stupid. After being prompted by Xu Changqing, she immediately sensed something strange and signaled the two guards to stop.

However, Zhou Yunfei, standing on the other side, shook his head, holding a different view: "Brother Xu, you are being a bit too paranoid."

Zhou Yunfei took two steps forward, fanning himself with his folding fan: "Judging from this woman's elegant attire, she must be a member of a wealthy family. If she were truly one of those vicious bandits, how could they send a weak woman to act? Besides, with Elder Bai in charge of our caravan, and with experts from both our families present, how dare a few mountain bandits cause trouble here? If we stand by and do nothing, wouldn't people laugh at us martial artists for lacking chivalry?"

Xu Changqing chuckled: "Brother Zhou, then you can go and save them."

"I'll go!" Zhou Yunfei said, head held high.

Seeing that the two had different opinions, Zhao Zi looked at Elder Bai.

Not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, Elder Bai simply said, "Fine, let that woman come with our group, but she's not allowed to get close!!"

"But sir, my husband is still in grave danger..."

The woman said, crying.

Old Bai snorted coldly, "Letting you follow behind the group is already a favor to you. If you continue to cause trouble, get out of here immediately."

The woman looked embarrassed and dared not say anything more.

Chen You then walked over.

"Fine, I'll go help her up since she looks so pitiful."

"Huh? Brother Chen, what's wrong with you...?"

The monkey standing behind was completely stunned, staring blankly at Chen You's back, utterly bewildered.

Normally, Brother Chen is the most calm and aloof person, so why is he suddenly rushing to help someone today?

This woman is clearly acting strangely!

As Madam Chen strode towards her, a hint of cold mockery flashed across her lowered eyes.

As a ruthless character who had been in the underworld for many years, she had long guessed that the people around Zhao Zi would not easily trust her, and might even be wary of her.

But so what?

Her real purpose was simply to get closer to him!

As soon as someone gets close, she can silently sprinkle out the Black Shark Gang's specially made poison powder the instant she raises her hand to wipe away her tears.

This poisonous powder is colorless and odorless. It drifts with the breeze, and its effects can greatly diminish those around it with just a breath!

"Thank you so much, sir! You're such a kind person..."

As Chen You drew closer, the woman cried even more pitifully, though she was secretly overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, there were actually some naive and ignorant fools in this group who willingly offered themselves up to die!

It's decided, I'll make sure he dies a quick and painless death later!!

However, just as Chen You stepped less than half a meter in front of her, and the woman's jade-like hand, hidden in her sleeve, was about to secretly flick off the poison powder at the critical moment...

Chen You's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Palm!

boom!

Without uttering a single word, Chen You unleashed his inner energy and blood instantly.

His right palm transformed into a dark and fierce afterimage, carrying a powerful and domineering force, and slammed hard into the woman's chest!

The decisiveness of their moves and the ruthlessness of their actions were simply outrageous!

puff!

The woman didn't even have time to react before she spat out a mouthful of blood, the horrific cracking sound of her sternum shattering clearly audible.

Like a kite with a broken string, she screamed and was sent flying several meters away by the palm strike, crashing heavily into the mud.

"ah…………"

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent!

Whether it was the Zhao family guards or Xu Changqing and Zhou Yunfei's men, they were all completely stunned.

The woman fell to the ground, convulsing, clutching her sunken chest in pain, staring at Chen You in disbelief: "You...you..."

"Chen You, what are you doing?!" Zhao Zihua's face paled, and she covered her mouth in shock.

Zhou Yunfei's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his face extremely pale.

Even Xu Changqing, who had just suggested being cautious, was now gaping, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. After a long while, he swallowed hard and muttered, "This guy surnamed Chen... he's even more ruthless than me? He attacked without even asking any questions!!!"

"This person is suspicious, let's just kill him," Chen You said calmly.

He didn't explain much, after all, he couldn't very well say that he had seen the intelligence, could he?

This woman is Feng San Niang, the third leader of the Black Shark Gang!

She's skilled with poison!

If she stays with the group, they're all likely to get infected!

Therefore, it's best to strike first!

"Ah!!! Kill him! Kill him for me!!"

Lying on the ground in a pool of blood, Feng San Niang realized that her disguise had been completely exposed, so she simply stopped pretending to be a delicate woman.

Her face contorted in a grotesque expression as she screamed shrilly, her voice filled with overwhelming murderous intent.

Before the words were finished...

"Damn it! Third Sister, are you alright?!"

A loud shout came from the depths of the dense forest, and a burly figure swooped down from the treetops like a roc spreading its wings!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Immediately afterward, a loud whooshing sound filled the air, and more than forty masked men in black, wielding sharp blades and exuding a murderous aura, roared out of the dense forest, instantly surrounding the Zhao family's carriage caravan. The chilling glint of their blades gleamed coldly in the sunlight, their targets aimed directly at everyone present!

The sudden turn of events caused Zhao Zi, Zhou Yunfei, and the others to change their expressions drastically, and the Zhao family guards drew their swords and stood ready for battle.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing was greatly alarmed, but seeing the other party's menacing approach, he quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and shouted loudly with his inner strength: "Heroes, please do not attack! I am Xu Changqing, son of the Great Saber Sect Master! I am passing through your esteemed place today, and I ask that you give me some face for the sake of the Great Saber Sect..."

Xu Changqing originally thought that the reputation of the Great Saber Sect in this area would be enough to make these roughnecks wary.

However, the fierce man who led the charge didn't even lift an eyelid.

"The Great Sword Sect? Bah, what kind of rubbish do you think you are?"

As he spoke, he tried to help Feng San Niang up.

However, just as Feng San Niang got up, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood was mixed with bits of internal organs and flesh.

Clearly, Chen You's palm strike had shattered her internal organs!

They definitely won't live much longer.

"Ahhh, three!"

Enraged, Chen Liang brandished his heavy steel broadsword and roared, "Chop all the men into mincemeat! Capture the women alive! Kill them!!"

Suddenly, dozens of ruthless men in black, reeking of blood, pounced on the convoy!
