Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Powerful Assassin

"Ambush! Enemy attack!"

Su Lie reacted immediately, shouting loudly.

But by the time he turned back to yell to the Su family members, it was too late. Many Su Family Disciples had already been hit by a barrage of arrows, falling to the ground dead one after another.

Seeing this, Su Lie’s eyes turned blood red in an instant.

He had not expected that just as they were about to complete the competition and leave, they would encounter an ambush.

An even greater question was, who would dare to attack the Su family members?

At this moment, a dense shower of arrows rained down from the sky, instantly claiming the lives of half of the Su Family Disciples.

Lin Chen, however, did not take any defensive measures; he simply blocked the rain of arrows with his bare hands and swept them away with a single palm strike.

Now, with his sturdy physique, these arrows could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Su Xiao, upon seeing Lin Chen deflect arrows with his bare hands, realized that him pulling her into his arms was to save her, not what she had thought, and she suddenly felt guilty, her cheeks flushing with shame.

"Protect her well, there might be a fierce battle ahead. Don’t let her interfere with us."

Lin Chen set Su Xiao down, leaving her in the care of Su Yun before he himself rushed out to meet the enemy.

This action of Lin Chen made Su Xiao feel insulted.

Confident in her own beauty and figure, many within the Su Family had fallen for her.

Yet, after embracing her, Lin Chen pushed her away without hesitation, as if he wouldn’t have held her in his arms if not for the purpose of saving her.

Facing Lin Chen’s actions, Su Xiao felt her cheeks burning, seemingly both from shame and indignation.

She even suspected that Lin Chen was doing this deliberately to provoke her.

She was right; Lin Chen was indeed doing it on purpose.

There were already several women at home fighting over him because of jealousy; Lin Chen didn’t dare to cause more trouble outside.

The strife among the women in his home was more than enough for him; naturally, he would not provoke Su Xiao.

Lin Chen wasn’t worried that he would fall for Su Xiao but that Su Xiao might fall for him.

He was still quite confident in his own charm.

At this time, Su Lie was also struggling to shoot down the arrows to prevent them from attacking his clan members.

But when his gaze landed on Lin Chen, he was astonished to find that Lin Chen was handling the arrows with ease, appearing extremely relaxed and not at all flustered by the attack.

However, Su Lie did not know that the power Lin Chen was displaying was only one-tenth of his true strength.

If Lin Chen were to exert his full power, he could instantly block all the arrows and even utilize the Gold Mystique to make the arrows rebound and eliminate the assailants.

But Lin Chen was not the type to show off. Revealing his strength too soon would not benefit his journey to Central State.

The lives and deaths of these Su family members had nothing to do with him; he had no obligation to protect them.

Lin Chen hoped to find out who the attackers were without excessively revealing his strength.

Thus, he could not display too much power, lest the attackers become too fearful to show themselves.

At this moment, as the arrows claimed most of the Su Family Disciples, the assassins—who seemed to have exhausted their arrows—suddenly burst out from the mountain forests.

These assassins, all dressed in black, with robes covering their faces, were difficult to distinguish.

But Lin Chen could feel that these people emitted no ordinary aura; they all had Cultivation beyond the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm.

To be aware, there were more than twenty men in black; their strength was already comparable to the Super Powers of the Eastern Domain.

Lin Chen inwardly sighed, acknowledging that Central State was indeed a place full of extraordinary talent.

Just then, he saw that the twenty-plus assassins were targeting the location where Su Yun was.

Lin Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly, his expression changing.

"You, you’re quite the character, having so many people wanting to kill you," Lin Chen said to Su Yun, nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Su Yun was startled, showing a helpless expression.

"Boss, what can I do? Who made me sit in the Young Master’s seat of the Su Family? It’s not an easy seat to occupy," Su Yun said with resignation.

However, for the sake of his father, he could not give up the Young Master’s position.

It wasn’t him who was wrong, and he was not willing to give up either.

He had sat in this position for many years and would not lose his pride over these five years.

At that moment, Su Yun’s gaze fell upon those black-clothed people, his eyebrows tightly knitted.

He had already discerned that these black-clothed people were not ordinary attackers but hired assassins from the underground black market of Tian Que City.

The price tags on these hired assassins were not cheap; it seemed to be another big move by his so-called good elder brother.

After some thought, Su Yun understood the rationale.

If he died, his father would surely be grieved and incapacitated in handling family affairs. By then, those in the clan would have an excuse to ask his father to give up the position of family head.

Therefore, while it seemed that these assassins came to kill him, their real target was his father, Su Liuyun.

Not only did the adversary covet the position of Young Master of the Su Family, but they also aimed for the position of Family Head.

The methods of this person were truly devious.

Having understood this, Su Yun felt an immense anger in his heart. If such a person were to control the Su Family, there would likely be no future for the family, only a path to destruction.

Facing the black-clothed assassins, Lin Chen no longer hid his strength, releasing Spiritual Power and infusing Thunderfire True Meaning into his Fist Technique, as he struck fiercely towards the oncoming assassins with a powerful punch.

Boom—

A massive fist of Spiritual Power condensed and rocketed toward the black-clothed people.

Faced with the enormous True Intent Fist Force, all the black-clothed people’s expressions changed dramatically, having initially dismissed Lin Chen when they saw he was only at the Nirvana Realm Second Layer.

However, at this moment, all the black-clothed individuals began to doubt whether Lin Chen was a disguised Creation Realm Expert.
