Chapter 389: One Injured, Two Dead
"It’s you again, Yan Duo!"
Chuchu glared at the profligate son from the Provincial City’s Yan Family.
"That scumbag shows up everywhere."
Leng Ning, of course, also recognized Yan Duo’s ugly mug.
The two women both remembered, of course. Just three days ago, Yan Duo had led his men to the Mu Family to stir up trouble, and the two sides had ended up in a massive brawl.
Thankfully, President Yan Qingshan of the Martial Arts Department had appeared just in time to turn the tide of battle.
And now, Yan Duo had come to the Su Family. They had no idea what wicked scheme he was plotting this time.
"Patriarch Su, capture these two women, and I’ll owe you one."
Suddenly, Yan Duo gave a lascivious wave and glanced at Su Wenfeng beside him.
"Young Master Yan, do you know these two?" Su Wenfeng asked slowly, nonchalantly adjusting the cuffs of his Tang suit.
Yan Duo lit a cigarette and smiled, his eyes narrowing. "This young master only knows that one is named Leng and the other is named Chu. Any other information is unimportant."
"If that’s the case, then leave it to me."
Su Wenfeng subconsciously rubbed his shiny, bald head. Since Yan Duo didn’t care about the two women’s identities, this would be easy. "Men, seize them for me!"
Instantly, two elderly men in black robes stepped forward from the side.
"I’d like to see who dares!" Leng Ning took a step forward, shielding Chuchu behind her.
Yan Duo’s power alone was at least that of a Half-Step Great Venerable, far beyond what Chuchu could handle.
Moreover, the Su Family’s two black-robed elders were at least Ninth-Realm Venerables, having reached the strength of Half-Step Great Venerables. Adding the bald Great Venerable, Su Wenfeng, to the mix, Chuchu stood no chance. Only Leng Ning herself could defeat them.
"A Great Venerable!"
Before the two Su Family elders could even get close, they felt the powerful pressure emanating from Leng Ning.
"So young, and a mere woman, yet she’s already a Great Venerable!"
Horror filled their eyes as they both looked toward their Patriarch, Su Wenfeng.
"This!" Su Wenfeng, of course, also realized the extent of Leng Ning’s power. Her aura was even more terrifying than his own. He couldn’t help but look at Yan Duo.
"Su Wenfeng, what are you standing around for? The three of you together, are you telling me you’re afraid of a single woman?" Yan Duo said, his face stern.
’This is bad,’ he thought to himself.
He had, of course, long known of Leng Ning’s strength. His plan was to either wait for his Third Grand-Uncle to arrive personally, or to use the Su Family to capture her.
"Fine!"
Su Wenfeng seemed to want something from the Yan Family, and this was the perfect opportunity to prove his worth.
The moment he finished speaking, he charged toward Leng Ning.
"You alone dare to fight the three of us?"
At the same time, the other two elders from the Su Family also made their move.
Although they weren’t Great Venerables, they were mostly Half-Step Great Venerables—the pillars of the Su Family.
The three of them combined could spell disaster even for one of the Seven Great Venerables.
’A pity!’
Leng Ning’s dark brows knitted slightly. She hadn’t wanted to act in front of Su Wenfeng, to avoid revealing her true strength.
’But this old fool just had to court death!’
BANG!
Just as she moved, Su Wenfeng launched the first attack.
He summoned a great hammer and, with a single-handed swing, brought it down toward Leng Ning’s head.
At the same moment, the other two elders also summoned their weapons.
They showed not a shred of chivalry; their first moves were killing blows.
CLANG!
Leng Ning summoned her longsword and slashed against the wind.
A wave of Sword Qi coalesced and directly shattered Su Wenfeng’s great hammer.
In the same instant, her figure flashed, and she appeared behind Su Wenfeng.
Her longsword flipped, slashing directly at Su Wenfeng.
HISS!
CLINK!
Su Wenfeng only had time to let out a miserable scream as his left arm flew into the air.
"Patriarch!"
Su Wenfeng was the Patriarch of the Su Family! If he died, the Su Family would lose its backbone.
The other two elders’ eyes flew wide in shock.
Although they were Elders of the Su Family, their status was far, far beneath Su Wenfeng’s.
"Kill her!"
The Second Elder roared, his summoned weapon already slashing toward Leng Ning.
SWOOSH!
The Second Elder’s attack had barely landed when Leng Ning appeared right in front of him.
The Second Elder’s summoned weapon missed its mark, and Leng Ning’s longsword had already pierced his heart.
"Second Elder!"
The Third Elder cried out in alarm.
His situation was no better than the Second Elder’s.
Just as he was about to pull back, Leng Ning appeared behind him.
She lashed out with a kick, sending the Third Elder flying.
THUD!
The Third Elder crashed to the ground, his sternum shattered, dead on the spot.
After collapsing in terror, the intense pain left Su Wenfeng unable to move.
He looked up at the scene, only to see Yan Duo’s face contorted in fear, trying to sneak away.
Chuchu rushed forward, blocking Yan Duo’s path. "Yan Duo, you think you can just walk away?"
Her voice was like a cold blade. Although her strength was no match for Yan Duo’s, it still made him shiver involuntarily.
"Miss Chu, I..." Yan Duo’s mouth twitched, at a loss for words.
He wanted to say something, but found his throat choked with fear, able to produce only meaningless muttering.
Because Leng Ning had appeared before Yan Duo like a bolt of lightning, the longsword in her hand glinting with a cold light, its tip pointed at his neck.
