Chapter 123: Chapter 97: Miracle (an additional 4200 words, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets)_2

In the inn’s courtyard, the guards of Chu Chen’s trading convoy were patrolling outside the inn to prevent any issues with the goods that were already wrapped in oilcloth in the horse carriages.

At this moment, a startling thunderclap resounded, and the heavens and earth suddenly brightened.

Liang Sheng’s eyes seemed to penetrate the vast night, watching a group of people in raincoats galloping towards them from the distance.

Their purpose was clear, heading straight for the small town inn, and among the trading convoy, the guards were still patrolling and switching shifts, not daring to be careless, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The torrential rain had arrived, and it was a night for murder.

Chu Chen was originally in a deep sleep, not knowing what nightmares he had, suddenly his eyes snapped open, gasping for air.

After waking up, he thought of the talisman paper given by Liang Sheng and the other’s words, shaking his head involuntarily.

How could he sleep peacefully tonight?

He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. With no sleepiness at this moment, he got up, felt for the oil lamp, lit it, and walked outside holding it.

His trusted guards, who were already keeping watch outside the door, immediately became vigilant. Upon seeing that it was the young master coming out, they breathed a sigh of relief but were also a bit puzzled.

“Come, accompany me to have a look.”

“Yes, young master.”

No one in the trading convoy’s guards was slacking, and they were taking turns to rest. At this moment, the patrolling guards saw someone approaching and immediately became alert, raising their long knives.

“Who’s there?

When they saw that it was Chu Chen and the others, they immediately relaxed and quickly saluted.

“Young master.”

“Everything’s alright?”

“No problem. The goods have been tightly wrapped in oilcloth, and there hasn’t been any movement tonight. There shouldn’t be any accidents.”

“That’s good.”

Chu Chen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Unless he were dead, there couldn’t be any issues with these goods. They were gifts he was sending to a high-ranking person in the capital, and he couldn’t afford any mistakes.

At this moment, another clap of thunder resounded, followed by a burst of silver light. Chu Chen, who was about to turn around and return to his room, suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of his eye.

“Who’s there?”

In an instant, Chu Chen became vigilant, holding up the oil lamp and turning towards the corner where the shadow had appeared, trying to see what was going on.

“Young master, don’t move. Little Li, you go over and have a look, and be careful.”

Chu Chen’s trusted guard stopped him and turned to order the patrolling guard to go and have a look. Little Li immediately headed over.

As soon as he approached the corner, a silver light shot up, and without any reaction, the guard’s body was separated from his head, which fell to the ground, and blood mixed with the rainwater, staining the earth.

What a swift knife!

“Enemy attack!”

Chu Chen’s trusted guard immediately shouted out a frantic warning. In an instant, the patrolling guards of the trading convoy were in a frenzy. Those who were originally taking turns to rest had already been sleeping in their clothes. At this moment, they grabbed their weapons and sprang up.

Inside the inn, the innkeeper and his helpers were trembling in fear in the backyard. The guard’s shout had also awakened them.

However, they didn’t dare to come out now, fearing that they might see something they shouldn’t and get into big trouble.

At this moment, their joy from having a big customer during the day had completely vanished, and the innkeeper was only praying to the gods to protect him from any major problems.

Meanwhile, as Chu Chen’s side shouted a warning, the people hiding in the darkness simply stopped hiding and walked straight out.

They were dressed in raincoats and their faces were covered with black cloths, revealing no features, but Chu Chen couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

“Gao Guard, I didn’t expect you to come as well.”

The man leading the group on the opposite side suddenly straightened his body, then loosened it again. He didn’t bother to conceal his identity any longer, pulling down his face cloth directly.

“Young master, I am just following orders, please don’t blame me.”

“Heh, I won’t blame you. You, a guard of my Chu Family, assassinating me, I should not blame you… Hahaha!”

At this moment, Chu Chen suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that he bent over and even shed tears. Then his laughter suddenly stopped.

“Are you a guard of my Chu Family, or a lackey of that despicable person!?”

Gao Guard could only remain silent. However, he raised the knife in his hand and charged at Chu Chen.

At his back, the others sprang into action, charging straight towards Chu Chen’s guards with murderous intent.

In the next moment, Gao Guard’s knife slashed directly towards Chu Chen, only to be blocked by his guard. However, the corner of Gao Guard’s mouth curled up in a wicked grin.

Chu Chen’s closest guard sensed something was amiss, but it was already too late. Unstoppable force traveled down the long knife, striking every part of his body instantly.

Then he was sent flying, and just before losing consciousness, he had time to shout out, “Post-Natal Eighth Level! When did you make the breakthrough!?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen felt a chill. Gao Guard had actually reached the Post-Natal Eighth Level? Gao Guard didn’t spare a glance for the guard he had sent flying; he only looked at Chu Chen and spoke softly:

“Young Master, don’t blame me. The lady ordered me to break through the Post-Natal Eighth Level, and I had to obey. Young Master, don’t worry. My knife is fast; you won’t feel any pain.”

In the next moment, the blade shone like silver, sharp and bright. He wasn’t lying; this strike was swift. However, Chu Chen managed to dodge the blow.

What?

Gao Guard couldn’t help but look incredulous. He then surveyed Chu Chen and exclaimed with surprise, “Post-Natal Seventh Level?! Young Master, you’ve hidden it well!”

But Chu Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Even though he had concealed his true power, he still couldn’t escape that woman’s assassination. What could he do?

He then saw Gao Guard go all out without holding back. Chu Chen couldn’t dodge this time, so he instinctively closed his eyes, awaiting death.

In the end, he couldn’t escape after all.

Immediately afterward, the long knife shattered, Gao Guard’s body trembled violently, and he was sent flying involuntarily, falling to the ground.

How is this possible?

Chu Chen, who didn’t experience the excruciating pain he was expecting, opened his eyes in confusion. At this moment, he saw a faint light surrounding him, and he was bewildered.

Then it was as if he remembered something. He reached into his sleeve and pulled out a piece of talisman paper, which was glowing faintly.

So, it’s this!

At this point, he recalled Liang Sheng’s words that he would have a good dream. He suddenly realized—could it be that he had encountered someone extraordinary?

However, the noises on the battlefield soon brought him back to reality. Gao Guard was still lying motionless on the ground. Chu Chen didn’t know why, but he felt a surge of anger within him, which made him pick up a knife from a dead guard and begin to walk towards Gao Guard, step by step.

Surprisingly, the men on both sides who had been locked in battle all along came to an unspoken agreement to stop fighting. They all turned to look at Chu Chen, who seemed to emit faint light, and even under heavy rain, not a single drop touched him.

A miracle!

Some of the masked men, terrified, began to kneel down. In the next moment, all the masked men followed suit and knelt.

Because Chu Chen had beheaded Gao Guard with one strike!

The Post-Natal Eighth-Level master had died so simply!

At this moment, Chu Chen continued to wield the knife, advancing without stopping. In the next moment, he raised his hand and swung down, and another head soared through the air.

Finally, some masked men reacted, but the Post-Natal Seventh-Level Chu Chen, radiating a faint light, wasn’t about to let them escape.

In the end, all the masked men were killed. Admiration-filled gazes from the guards focused on Chu Chen. Chu Chen did not look at them but walked towards the trusted guard whom Gao Guard had sent flying earlier.

At this moment, the guard’s eyes were wide open in anger, but he had already stopped breathing. Chu Chen gently closed the guard’s eyes with his hand, then stood up and fell into silence for a short while.

“Clean up everything so that the innkeeper isn’t frightened. Burn the bodies of our fallen brothers to ashes; we need to bring them home.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

At this moment, the guards treated Chu Chen with reverence as if he was a deity. Chu Chen’s faint light finally faded, and he wanted to look for Liang Sheng, but in the end, he stopped in front of his room door.

After contemplating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, deciding to knock. But the moment his hand touched the door, it swung open on its own, revealing an empty room.

However, there was a jade bottle and a note left on the table.

“Long-ago acquaintances parting by chance, with our cause and effect now severed. Don’t try to figure out who 1 am; treat it as a passing encounter with a stranger…”

An old acquaintance?

Chu Chen was puzzled by the first few lines written in the note, as he couldn’t remember ever meeting this enigmatic person before.

Yet as he continued reading the note, he could no longer concern himself with such thoughts, as the note explained what was inside the jade bottle.

Barrier Breaking Pill!

The pill that could give someone a chance to break through to the Innate Realm while at the Post-Natal Ninth Level. Upon failure, it would still grant the user Half-step Innate status, and consuming one more would guarantee a breakthrough to the Innate Realm.

Chu Chen opened the jade bottle and saw ten Barrier Breaking Pills inside. He didn’t doubt that they could be poisonous, as there was no reason for that mysterious person to deceive him.

Amidst his shock, he found it hard to suppress the urge to cry out in delight. For many years, he had coveted this yet today, he had finally achieved his long-awaited desire.

You wretched woman, go to hell!
