Take Care

As Chu Qing watched, the taller woman had already swung the shorter one out.

Chu Fan had no way to avoid this move and could only take it head-on.

His hands bulged with veins, and without thinking, he unleashed the Grand Easy Divine Palm.

There was a loud bang.

The taller woman, holding the shorter one, trembled slightly.

Chu Fan, however, was forced back three to five steps, his face ashen.

The taller woman burst into laughter:

"Give up?"

Chu Fan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth:

"Again!!"

"Alright!"

Hearing Chu Fan's words, the taller woman immediately looked excited:

"If you can't beat us, you have to kowtow to us and call us Big Sister!"

Chu Fan's face grew even uglier at this, but he didn't respond.

It was clear he wasn't completely confident in his ability to win.

Chu Qing clicked his tongue in wonder for a moment.

Chu Fan, of course, had natural divine strength, and his sect was even more remarkable.

The founder of this sect was a legendary figure in the martial world, the 'Grand Easy Patriarch'.

Because he had exceptional talent, mastering any martial art as soon as he learned it, and becoming proficient quickly, even extrapolating from what he knew, he believed that all martial arts in the world were merely average and too easy.

His self-proclaimed title 'Grand Easy' came from this.

Under the name of Layman Grand Easy, he roamed the martial world for half his life. Not only was he not killed, but he also founded the Great Easy Sect, which shows that his martial arts were indeed extraordinary.

During the time the Grand Easy Patriarch led it, the Great Easy Sect could be said to have reached the pinnacle of the martial world.

After the Grand Easy Patriarch passed away, although the Great Easy Sect was no longer as glorious as in its past, it still stood firm through three hundred years of trials and tribulations.

This was mainly due to the three volumes of the Book of the Immutable Heavens created by the Grand Easy Patriarch.

It is said that this is a world-shattering ultimate technique.

The Grand Easy Divine Palm and Grand Easy Divine Fist used by Chu Fan both originate from the Human Character Scroll within the Book of the Immutable Heavens.

In fact, for the past hundred years, no one has seen the martial arts from the Earth Character Scroll.

But the martial arts from the Human Character Scroll alone were enough to make many martial arts experts dare not act presumptuously before the Great Easy Sect.

Although it is now confined to a corner, far from its former glory, no one is willing to provoke it.

With Chu Fan's talent and ultimate techniques, after a bout of fighting, he actually fell into a disadvantage under the combined attack of these two women.

Isn't this utterly bizarre?

"Is it really true that there's always someone better?"

Chu Qing looked around:

"Where did that Junior Sister of Chu Fan's run off to?"

Recalling how the woman had silently appeared beside him in the tea house earlier, Chu Qing didn't dare to underestimate her. If she were here, his cheap second brother wouldn't be bullied by two women, right?

And facing this situation, could he successfully assassinate the remaining two Seven Iron Horse Thieves with a surprise attack?

After observing for a moment, Chu Qing shook his head slightly:

"Their vigilance is too high. I need an opportunity. Otherwise, even if I kill one, trying to kill the other will be full of variables.

"And looking at their posture, why does it seem like they're ready to run at any moment?"

These two members of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves were not the main force in this battle. They were just circling on the periphery, occasionally exchanging glances, and quickly retreating if there was any slight misstep.

They looked completely ready to escape at any time.

Chu Qing pondered. An opportunity wasn't actually hard to find.

In his opinion, there were currently two opportunities.

One was the head of the Seven Iron Horse Thief who had just died by his hand. If it was brought back by the horse, it would definitely disrupt the situation.

Secondly, the Junior Sister who had run off somewhere was also an opportunity.

If she appeared and teamed up with Chu Fan to deal with the two women, keeping them preoccupied, he could then make his move to assassinate and succeed.

Considering the time, that horse should have returned by now...

As expected, it wasn't long before, just as Chu Fan and the two women were exchanging two or three blows, the sound of hooves came from afar.

The two Seven Iron Horse Thieves immediately perked up:

"Fifth Brother is here!!"

The two immediately looked in the direction of the hoofbeats, and even Chu Fan couldn't help but be drawn to the sound.

They heard the tall woman laugh:

"Someone else is coming? How interesting!"

Immediately after, they heard the short woman say:

"Stop fooling around."

"Got it."

This exchange between the two instantly stunned Chu Qing.

After all that, they still didn't know the Seven Iron Horse Thieves' background?

Then why were they fighting Chu Fan?

Chu Qing had initially thought these two women were an ambush set by the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.

Now it seemed... was it just a coincidence? Was Chu Fan unlucky enough to run into some crazy people?

No wonder those two Seven Iron Horse Thieves seemed to keep trying to escape – turns out they didn't know each other.

And under everyone's expectant gaze, a horse indeed quickly arrived before them.

There was someone on the horse... a woman.

She wasn't old, dressed similarly to Chu Fan, and had a blank expression, as if everyone in the world owed her money.

"Junior Sister Wen, help me!!"

Upon seeing her, Chu Fan was instantly overjoyed.

He didn't even care how his Junior Sister Wen ended up riding one of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves' horses, and called out.

And this Junior Sister Wen didn't hesitate upon hearing him. She pushed off the ground and leaped up, but first threw something towards the Seven Iron Horse Thieves.

She was too fast, and the remaining two Seven Iron Horse Thieves didn't dare to catch it empty-handed.

They saw the leading bandit swing the broadaxe in his hand and chop down suddenly.

With a whoosh, the object was split in two, and its red and white contents scattered everywhere.

For a moment, the few people present were a bit dumbfounded, and their movements couldn't help but pause.

Chu Fan subconsciously asked:

"Junior Sister Wen, what was that?"

"A head."

Junior Sister Wen replied in that same emotionless voice.

"Where did you get it?"

"Found it."

Concise and to the point, not a single wasted word.

Just as she finished speaking, they saw the tall woman holding a strip of cloth and reading:

"The Seven Iron Horse Thieves, their killings fill the wilds, their crime deserves execution—Night Emperor, who is the Night Emperor?"

She asked directly, but no one could answer.

However, the short woman spoke coldly:

"The Seven Iron Horse Thieves, their crime deserves execution?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the stunned and speechless leader of the Seven Iron Horse Thieves suddenly pointed at Chu Fan and Junior Sister Wen and roared:

"Yes, they are the Seven Iron Horse Thieves!"

Chu Fan was furious:

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who are the Seven Iron Horse Thieves!"

"Naturally, it's you!"

The leading Seven Iron Horse Thief said as if it were obvious:

"Look at the divine steed your junior sister is riding. If you aren't the Seven Iron Horse Thieves, who is? Two heroines, these Seven Iron Horse Thieves have been chasing us with nowhere to run or hide. We beg you to uphold justice and save us."

"Alright, alright! I love fighting the most, oh no, I love saving people the most!

"Seven Iron Horse Thieves, take this!!"

The tall woman immediately cheered and charged towards Chu Fan.

Chu Fan had a million things he wanted to say, but this woman was unreasonable, so he could only quickly meet her attack.

That Junior Sister Wen could have explained, but she had a strange temperament. Seeing this, she also didn't say a word and directly joined forces with Chu Fan, fighting the two women.

The remaining two Seven Iron Horse Thieves exchanged glances, then simultaneously leaped up and landed directly on the horse. They saw the leading bandit whistle, and two fast horses immediately galloped up, following behind them as they fled outwards.

And he didn't forget to say:

"Our martial arts are weak, brothers, we can't help the two heroines. We'll take our leave now. Heroines, take care!"

At this point, even an idiot would realize something was wrong.

However, the tall woman not only didn't notice anything, but even waved at them:

"Take care!"
