Chapter 1520: 1520 Xiao Yuchuan despaired 2

The secret guard was forced to parry passively, not daring to strike the young Master directly, and thus compelled to dodge aside.

Xiao Yuchuan, as if he had gone mad, pursued relentlessly. In no time, the secret guard, left with no other choice, struck back only to find himself vastly outclassed by the young Master’s superior martial arts.

Or rather, it wasn’t that his martial arts were weak, but the young Master’s skills were unexpectedly high.

Suddenly, the secret guard was hit by two palms and gave a signal; in an instant, several other secret guards flew in from all around, fiercely engaging Xiao Yuchuan in battle.

Xiao Yuchuan fought as if he were seeing red, each move intended to be deadly.

The secret guards were all carefully selected by the Xiao Clan—numerous in number. Although Xiao Yuchuan was highly skilled in martial arts, he had sustained serious injuries.

For the moment, Xiao Yuchuan was unable to gain the upper hand.

After three hours, Xiao Yuchuan’s stamina and energy were heavily drained. His moves should have slowed down, but he fought even more crazily.

Due to the downpour of rain, there were hardly any passersby on the street, and the nearby common people, in fear of Xiao Yuchuan’s mad killing spree, all tightly shuttered their doors, dreading collateral damage.

Chang Haotian stood under the eaves not far away, followed by his guard Chang Feng.

The two of them watched the insane scene unfold in the rain.

A man battled wildly against a group of men in black; several bodies lay on the ground, it was unclear whether they were dead or unconscious.

"Master, Xiao Yuchuan is courting death," Chang Feng said. "He is deliberately exhausting his True Qi. Despite his serious injuries, he keeps up with this mad killing. He must be trying to wear himself out to death or worsen his own injuries on purpose."

"It would be better if he died." Chang Haotian said coolly, his tone as cold as frost. "He is a stumbling block between Qing’er and me. If he dies, Qing’er will be mine."

"Master Chang sure has a rosy picture." Xiao Chonghuan’s voice, filled with mockery, came from behind as he arrived with a group of guards, hands behind his back. "Whether Su Qingyue belongs to you is none of my concern. But my only son, how can he be allowed to come to harm?"

"I thought the Master of the Xiao Family would wait until Xiao Yuchuan fell before showing himself." Chang Haotian said without a trace of expression, "You couldn’t hold back and showed up now. You spoil your child so much, without suffering, how could he ever be a match for me?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Chonghuan flicked his sleeve, no longer paying attention to him, and ordered, "Seize the chance to hit Chuan’er’s fainting acupoints!"

"Yes."

...

Another hour passed, and Xiao Yuchuan was finally struck on the acupoints by a secret guard and passed out.

Shen Yun hurried down the stairs from a second-floor room in an inn, running towards him.

The maid Shuang’er ran after her with an umbrella, "Lady, please slow down, you’re getting soaked."

"My Chuan’er!" Shen Yun, not caring for the heavy rain, held her son covered in blood, crying out loud, "Master, you are too heartless. I told you to have someone knock Chuan’er unconscious right away, but you insisted on watching from the sidelines and dragging it out until now. If anything happens to Chuan’er, how can I go on living!"

"Master Chang already said that the child should not be spoiled. Chuan’er is my son, Xiao Chonghuan; he must be able to withstand hardships." Xiao Chonghuan’s expression was ugly. "All this for a woman, Su Qingyue—ready to give up his life no less. It’s simply preposterous!"

"Quickly take Chuan’er back to Yi Garden and have the imperial doctor attend to him!" Shen Yun yelled at a nearby secret guard.

The secret guard immediately obeyed, lifting the unconscious Xiao Yuchuan and carrying him away, with Shen Yun following.

Xiao Chonghuan also left in the same direction, his face filled with anger.

Chang Haotian’s gaze drifted towards a private room in an inn by the street corner, spotting a fleeting elegant figure.

"Master, what are you looking at?" Chang Feng followed his gaze, but only saw a half-open window with no one in sight.
