To Long Chen, although Goldie was a cowardly servant, he had followed Long Chen for six years and was loyal and devoted to him. If Long Chen had any benefits, he would give Goldie to him. Long Chen did not know who wanted to deal with him, but they had actually taken Goldie hostage. How could he not be angry?
Long Chen knew that Goldie's sick parents still needed to be taken care of. If anything happened to Goldie, Long Chen would definitely blame himself!
He tore the note into pieces and rushed out of the Yang Residence without saying anything. Like a whirlwind, he rushed toward the Rising Sun Restaurant!
The Rising Sun Restaurant was near the Jadeite Jade Building. Long Chen increased his speed. The people walking on the street all felt a whirlwind blow past them, and then they disappeared!
Raising his head, Long Chen could clearly see the brightly lit restaurant in the dark night. Step by step, Long Chen was approaching the restaurant. There were many people in front of the restaurant. Long Chen had no choice but to slow down. He could see that the door was getting closer and closer!
At this moment, a carriage pulled by four horses galloped out from the left side of the street. The pedestrians cursed and dodged, but the speed of the carriage did not decrease. Long Chen could have dodged it easily, but at this moment, a child not far behind him stared blankly at the rushing carriage and burst into tears!
The carriage was so fast that if it ran over the child's body, the child's bones would definitely not be left. Long Chen was startled, he did not care about anything else. He could have dodged, but he did not. Instead, he turned around and hugged the child. His whole body erupted with True Qi, but at this time, a horse had already crashed into Long Chen's back, immediately sending him flying!
Along the way, people cried out in alarm. They thought that both Long Chen and the child would die. However, they did not expect that Long Chen would change his trajectory in the air and land steadily. He did not comfort the child. Before the crowd could see his face clearly, Long Chen disappeared. He was still in a hurry to save Goldie's life.
However, the scene was chaotic. Long Chen endured the pain in his back and entered the Rising Sun Restaurant.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Long Chen almost bumped into someone in front of him. When he looked up, the young man in front of him immediately blinded him.
The boy was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he looked younger than Long Chen. Long Chen's appearance was considered delicate, but the boy in front of him was so handsome that it was a little devilish. If it wasn't for the obvious Adam's apple, Long Chen would almost think that he was a girl carved from jade.
The two of them almost collided. Long Chen stared at him, dumbfounded. He was also sizing up Long Chen.
"Are you male or female?"
Unable to control his mouth, Long Chen blurted out this sentence.
When he heard Long Chen's words, he felt that it was somewhat humiliating. However, this delicate boy didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly glanced at Long Chen, pointed at his Adam's apple, and said, "I am male."
His expression was serious, and his voice was sweet and pleasant. Long Chen was used to hearing the coquettish grumbles of prostitutes in the brothel. At this moment, when he heard the boy's words, he actually felt an unbearable itch in his heart.
He secretly cursed himself for being a beast. Then, he remembered that he hadn't saved Goldie yet, so he hurriedly avoided the boy and walked into the Rising Sun Restaurant.
"Just now, I saw that you saved a child, a life …"
Behind Long Chen, the boy spoke to himself. However, when Long Chen rushed into the restaurant, he shut his mouth and looked at him curiously. It was obvious that he didn't feel disgusted by Long Chen at all. Instead, he was very appreciative of Long Chen's action of saving the child.
"This person is similar to my brother. There is also a faint aura of stars on his body. He must have cultivated a star-type combat technique. I haven't used the Astral Combat Body for a long time …"
The boy looked at Long Chen's back and muttered to himself.
As soon as Long Chen walked into the restaurant, he felt a gaze directed at him. He turned his head and saw that Yang Zhan was sitting by a window. Opposite him was a beautiful girl.
"Yang Zhan is actually here. Could it be that he arranged for Goldie to be kidnapped?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Long Chen shook his head and said, "If Yang Zhan wants to deal with me, he doesn't need to use this method. Moreover, he is here to pick up girls …"
Thinking of this, Long Chen didn't stop and directly walked up to the second floor of the Rising Sun Restaurant. The Peony Room 1 mentioned on the slip of paper was here. When he arrived here, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer. He quickly approached his destination and suddenly pushed open the door. It was pitch-black inside.
As soon as he entered the room, Long Chen felt a blade coming at him. He hurriedly dodged it and saw the situation in the room.
At this moment, the person who attacked just now was already standing at the door. He gently closed the door and coldly looked at Long Chen. On the other side, Long Chen saw that Goldie's whole body was tied up with hemp rope and his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. At this moment, Goldie looked nervous and indignant as he whimpered at Long Chen.
Beside him stood another man. Both of them were masked, but the murderous aura on their bodies couldn't be underestimated.
They were the two people who tried to assassinate Long Chen that night. Until now, Long Chen still couldn't understand why someone would send people to assassinate a small fry like him.
"Who are the two of you? Why do you want to deal with me?"
"I just took someone's money to eliminate a disaster. There's no need to ask any more questions. Yang Chen, die!"
Two blades instantly slashed towards Long Chen.
The blades were ruthless, and the whooshing sound of the wind made people's scalps numb.
Although the True Qi of these two people is not much different from mine, but they are experienced in combat and have killed many people. They are a hundred times more terrifying than that donkey Chen Liu. If I don't use all my strength today, I will definitely die here!
Looking at the movements of these two people, they should be good at fighting together. I have to defeat one of them first in order to break their joint power!
In the night, a cold light burst out of Long Chen's eyes. The two blades quickly approached him. Relying on his body's flexibility, he rolled to the side. This roll very cleverly solved the situation where he needed to face two people at the same time. The two men in black rushed towards him one after the other.
"Wild Wind Blade!"
With a whoosh, the man in front of him whistled towards Long Chen, and the blade approached him in an instant.
Seeing that the two men in black had already staggered, Long Chen gritted his teeth and used all his True Qi. Instead of retreating, he madly rushed towards the man in black!
"Meteor Fist!"
In the pitch-black room, a ray of starlight exploded. The eyes of the man in black flashed, and he suddenly felt a strong aura force his blade technique away, and crashed into his body.
Bang!
The leading man in black coughed out blood, and crashed into the body of the man behind him.
Long Chen rushed forward, and instantly snatched his opponent's blade. With a roar, he pierced his opponent's heart with the blade, and in an instant, his clothes and face were dyed red with blood.
The scene just now seemed simple, but it was actually thrilling. The biggest surprise for Long Chen was that the starlight from the Meteor Fist had actually blurred his opponent's vision. Moreover, the Meteor Fist was an Intermediate Yellow Level combat skill, and its power was equivalent to the strongest attack of an expert at the Third Level of the Dragon Vein Realm. This was why it could seriously injure the man in black, and why Long Chen could conveniently kill him.
When the other man in black saw that his comrade was dead, he looked at Long Chen in shock. Without caring about anything else, he hurriedly rushed out of the window. Just when Long Chen wanted to chase after him and interrogate him about the person who wanted to assassinate him, the door suddenly opened. Yang Zhan stood at the door, and when he saw Long Chen's face covered in blood and a dead man lying on the ground, he immediately frowned.
"Bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. You dare to kill people in the Rising Sun Restaurant just because you have some ability? Don't you know that I am good friends with Boss Qing here?"
Long Chen ignored him, and turned around to untie the hemp rope on Goldie's body. He said, "Goldie, leave this place first. We can talk about other things later."
Of the two assassins, one had died, and the other had fled. Goldie looked at Long Chen in shock, but Yang Zhan, who had followed him in, also had an unfriendly gaze. Goldie was afraid. Although he was worried about Long Chen's safety, he knew that he could not be of any help, so he hurriedly ran downstairs to find a savior.
Long Chen's neglect caused Yang Zhan's face to gradually distort.
Behind Yang Zhan, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes glanced at the bloody scene inside, and his face paled. He said, "This young master is really too much. You made such a bloody scene and scared away many of my customers. My business will be greatly reduced."
The two of them echoed each other, purely because they did not want Long Chen to have an easy time. Long Chen had just killed someone, and his heart was filled with killing intent. His gaze scared Boss Qing so much that he retreated continuously.
He did not want to clash with Yang Zhan. Yang Zhan was in the fourth level of the Dragon Vein Realm, and he had also practiced many battle techniques. The current Boss Qing was not his opponent, so he could only endure.
But even if Long Chen had retreated, Yang Zhan still felt angry.
He had long since found Long Chen an eyesore. He was used to bullying him in the past, but now, this guy actually had some strength, especially when he had injured Chen Liu last time, which made him swallow his anger. At this time, the hatred between him and Long Chen had been born, and his eyes were already bursting with killing intent.
"… Last time, you injured Chen Liu, and I spared you. Today, you've ruined the reputation of our Yang Clan. It seems that I really have to teach you a lesson, lest you continue to act arrogantly and do whatever you want!
As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, and a powerful aura pressed down on Long Chen.
"This fellow … is really strong."
The fourth level of the Dragon Vein Realm was really not for show. Yang Zhan's eyes were like a huge mountain pressing down on him, and Long Chen was actually forced to take a few steps back.
However, he still did not put down the saber in his hand. Blood was still dripping from the saber, and coupled with the ferocious look in his eyes, it seemed like he was opposing Yang Zhan.
Seeing Long Chen's appearance, Yang Zhan was even more furious. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "You bastard, you actually dare to oppose me? If you don't kneel down and give me a toe today, don't even think about leaving this place alive!"
Long Chen did not speak, and he only looked at him coldly.
He knew that if Yang Zhan pushed him too far, he would make him pay the price even if he had to sacrifice his life.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the young lady who was sitting with Yang Zhan appeared behind Boss Qing. Seeing everything in the private room, her face paled, and she took several steps back.
"Big brother Zhan, don't be like this. Let's leave this place …"
Yang Zhan withdrew his aura and turned his head to look at the newcomer. Then, he looked at Long Chen and said ruthlessly, "Fine, I'll let you enjoy yourself for another day. Tomorrow morning, you'll know how to write the word 'death'."
Finishing his words, he hugged the young lady and left.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and the saber fell to the ground.
"Yang Zhan, we'll have to add another debt to our debt. I'm about to break through to the third level of the Dragon Vein Realm. When I'm stronger than you, you'll know how to write the word 'death' …"
One of his assassins had died, but he did not know if the other would cause trouble for him. The mastermind had not been found either, and everything was a mystery. This was still a place of trouble, so Long Chen decided to leave.
Running downstairs, he saw Goldie anxiously waiting for him. Seeing that Long Chen was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Young master Chen, when I ran downstairs, there was a very beautiful young man who wanted me to give this to you. He said that he admires you, but he left first."
Long Chen was startled. He thought of that outrageously handsome young man, his gentle voice, and his somewhat funny serious expression. He doubtfully took a secret manual from Goldie's hands and opened it to take a look. To his surprise, the words "Stars Battle Body" were written on it.
"That young man said that this thing is compatible with your Meteor Fist. Seeing that you saved a child today, he saw that you're a good person, and he didn't need this thing, so he gave it to you."
Long Chen nodded and carefully read the "Stars Battle Body".
"It's actually a middle yellow rank battle skill …"
"I only saved a child, and this little guy gave me this Stars Battle Body. It seems that he has a very strong foundation. I think he's not from Baiyang Town, but a disciple from a big force in another place …"
"Well, it's fate that we met today. I urgently need these things, and he gave it to me now. If we meet again in the future, I'll repay his kindness."
Long Chen smiled, then sent Goldie home, and returned to the Yang family.
"… Absorb the divine power of the stars, fuse it into the skin, bones, flesh, and blood … Temper it day and night, persevere, and you can achieve the Stars Battle Body … When you walk, sand and stones will fly, and a casual punch will have the power of a battle skill …"
"This Stars Battle Body, is actually a body refining method, and is more precious than an attack secret manual."
"The Stars Battle Body has a total of two levels, small success and great success. However, although these mnemonics are obscure, I can understand them. Tonight the stars are bright, and I'm going to use the starlight to cultivate the Stars Battle Body. If I succeed, I'll be able to attack at the elementary level!
I'm sure that if I encounter Yang Zhan, I'll be able to escape unscathed, or even resist him! "
For Long Chen, the Stars Battle Body wasn't difficult.
At this moment, he was like a fish in water when he cultivated under the bright starlight.
For a period of time, the starlight in the sky had already projected onto his body. His body was like a star, emitting a misty starlight.
Suddenly, Long Chen opened his eyes.
"I haven't finished cultivating the Stars Battle Body, but after today's soul-stirring battle, the nourishment of the starlight, and the mysterious jade pendant, my qi has skyrocketed again. This time, I'll try to break through to the third level of the Dragon Vein Realm!"
