Shop Assistant

The girl wasn't very old, and her face was expressionless.

She squatted there, quietly watching Chu Qing.

Seeing that Chu Qing was only afraid and didn't take the bowl of tea, she withdrew her hand and took a sip herself.

Chu Qing: "..."

What's wrong with this woman?

Why is she staring at me like that?

Under that slightly empty gaze, Chu Qing even began to suspect if she had seen through his disguise.

But at this moment, he couldn't worry about that. He heard the leader laugh wildly:

"The second young master of the Chu Family under the Divine Fist of Non-Anger, I thought you had some skill, but it seems you're nothing special!"

Chu Qing immediately looked out the window again and saw Chu Fan standing among the galloping horses, his arms and legs hooked by grappling hooks. He was completely immobilized in the middle.

"...What kind of trick is this?"

Chu Qing's mouth twitched. He had thought he could dodge or counterattack, but instead... whatever moves they made, he took them all head-on.

At the same time, the movements of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves changed again.

He saw this group of people holding grappling hooks and chains, turning their horses around, and galloping away in the opposite direction.

They were going to dismember Chu Fan on the spot!

But Chu Fan smiled slightly:

"Then let me show you what skills this Chu possesses!"

With that, he roared, stomping his feet on the ground. There was a loud bang, and true energy surged in all directions.

Neigh!!

The mounts of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves immediately neighed towards the sky, seemingly greatly startled.

And the two Iron Horse Thieves who had hooked Chu Fan's legs immediately felt as if they were pulling a mountain. The mountain didn't budge, but they were dragged off their horses instead.

The grappling hook chains attached to Chu Fan rattled, no longer as taut as before.

And at this moment, Chu Fan suddenly flipped his palms, grabbed the chains on both sides, and pulled violently. There was a rattling sound, and the two bandits felt an irresistible force. They were involuntarily sent flying backward.

With a bang, the two of them met in mid-air and crashed heavily into each other. The sound of bones breaking could be faintly heard.

They both spat out large mouthfuls of blood, their faces pale, clearly not long for this world.

"Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother!!"

The leader was furious. He spurred his horse forward, his broadaxe swinging widely as it fell towards Chu Fan.

Chu Fan looked up and snapped his hands, instantly shattering the chains on his arms. Then he brought his palms together, using an empty-handed technique to block the leader's broadaxe.

He saw the veins on the leader's forehead bulge, throbbing. All his strength was gathered in one place.

He desperately pressed the broadaxe down, trying to split Chu Fan in half.

The immense force caused Chu Fan's feet to sink slightly, gradually burying into the ground.

But the broadaxe just wouldn't cut down.

The leader took a deep breath and roared angrily:

"He's locked in a stalemate with me, take this chance to cut off his head!!"

Including today, three of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves were already dead. With the leader locked in a stalemate with Chu Fan, there were still three remaining.

The two bandits who were tangled with Chu Fan's legs exchanged glances, immediately tightened the chains in their hands, and without bothering to remount their beloved horses, used their internal energy to drag.

And the only person who was free had already reached behind Chu Fan, his ringed saber chopping down fiercely towards the back of Chu Fan's neck.

But at this moment, the leader's face suddenly changed dramatically.

Not good!!

Cracking sounds came from the broadaxe in his hand. Cracks instantly spread, and before he could react, there was a crash, and the broadaxe in his hand shattered into pieces.

He wasn't trying to block my broadaxe... he was trying to break my weapon!!

What kind of monstrous strength is this?

How can it be so exaggerated?

He saw Chu Fan suddenly clench his fist. In an instant, the air seemed to be swept away. He lowered his waist, settled into a horse stance, and suddenly turned, throwing a punch!

Grand Easy Divine Fist!!

There was an explosion in the air. The first thing to collide with the force of the punch was the saber of the person behind him.

The momentum of the saber was instantly blown away by this punch, no longer forming a coherent system. He couldn't hold onto it, leaving himself wide open. There was a bang, and the fist had heavily smashed into his chest and abdomen.

Splash!

A large spray of blood erupted from behind that person, who flew out like a broken rag doll, his entire body deformed by the punch.

The leader was shocked by the power of this punch, his pupils constricting sharply. He suddenly roared:

"Run!!!"

From the moment he attacked until now, only a few breaths had passed, yet three of his men were already dead.

One of his two broadaxes was useless; he couldn't fight a monster like Chu Fan at all.

He squeezed his horse's flanks with his legs and charged forward, surprisingly heading towards the tea house.

In a flash, he was inside the tea house, roaring:

"Get out of the way!!"

He was shouting at the Shop Assistant.

The Shop Assistant had been inside the tea house, watching the excitement while trembling.

How could he have imagined the excitement would come straight for him?

He scrambled to his feet and ran, but the step he took put him right in front of the charging horse.

The Seven Iron Horse Thieves' horses were all precious, fine steeds. With a single stomp, the Shop Assistant didn't even have time to react before he was kicked out of the tea house.

The change happened too quickly. Although there were experts inside the tea house, they couldn't save him in time.

And the leading bandit, urging his horse forward, burst out the other side of the tea house with a loud bang. He immediately turned his horse around, changing direction. Earlier, he had thrown a broadaxe that smashed into the carriage. He had used the tea house as a shortcut precisely for this item. With a reach of his hand, the broadaxe landed in his grasp.

He immediately galloped away, shouting loudly as he went:

"Chu Fan, the favor you've shown me today, I will surely repay it another day!!"

"Villain, don't run!!"

Chu Fan's face darkened. How could he let him escape just like that?

Looking again, the two who had locked his legs with grappling hooks had also disappeared without a trace during this opportune moment.

He immediately made up his mind: first, eliminate the ringleader!

"Junior Sister!!"

He roared the name, and Chu Qing heard the woman beside him respond:

"Coming!"

The two used their lightness techniques and chased directly in the direction the leader had gone.

"What a formidable Second Young Master Chu, truly impressive!"

"Indeed, heroes emerge from the young!"

The tea drinkers inside the tea house, seeing the danger temporarily averted, praised him one after another. At the same time, they all left. This place was not suitable for staying long; it was best to leave quickly.

In a short while, the entire tea house was empty.

No one looked at the body of the dead shop assistant or the body of the first person who was split in half.

Only the manager remained, his face full of daze, as he walked up to the shop assistant who had been kicked to death.

He reached out and patted his face:

"Huzi... Huzi? Get up, they're all gone.

"I'm telling you, the ground is cold, it's not good to keep lying there.

"Your mother sent someone to tell me two days ago that she'd arranged a marriage for you. I was thinking these past couple of days of letting you go home to get married first.

"If you ruin your health like this, it'll affect your descendants.

"Huzi... Huzi, wake up, don't scare your uncle!"

He pushed and shoved the body, as if calling a sleeping junior to wake up.

But how could a corpse respond?
