Chapter 122: Black wind gang

"Taking your own life! Who do you think we are?", Wang Lang smirked. He was the deputy leader of Black wind gang and except the leader whose cultivation reached the fourth stage, every other members of the gang listened to the command of him.

"You monsters!", a girl shouted out as both of her hands were currently being held by one of the member of the Black wind gang.

There were other girls and women beside the girl whose hands were tied and all of them were made to kneel on the ground.

"Don't try to do anything funny. I am planning to earn some gold coins by selling you in the provincial capital but if you resist, I will let my brothers have a go at you. You will understand then, what happens if you annoy me", Wang Lang spoke as he threw a look at the girl who was trying to resist.

A helpless look appeared in the eyes of the girl as he saw the captured people of her village. There were two other horse carts in the distant.

The girl swpet her eyes on the distant hose carts and a feeling despair rose in her heart. She could see what was inside the horse carts as there was no cover on the horse carts. 

There were girls and women of other villages who were caught by the Black Wind gang. "Is there no way out?", the girl thought to herself. 

She was the grand daughter of the village leader and a talented young cultivator herself. She reached the Meridian opening realm at the age of thirteen. Now at the age of eighteen, she was already at the peak of Meridian opening realm.

She used to think that the power of her grand father would be enough to protect them but now she understood, how wrong she was.

When she was completely losing hope, a swishing sound of wind came from her side. She turned to look at it but the wind seemed to be very fast as it approached Wang Lang, the deputy leader of Black wind gang.

Wang Lang felt something was amiss but before he could react, a sword stabbed his chest.

"Puchi!", a soft sound came as the sword penetrated the body of Wang Lang and protruded out from his back.

Wang Lang looked to his front and saw a young man standing close to him wearing a blue robe.

"Who are you?", he could only ask a line before the last trace of his life absorbed by Zhan Chen's sword.

"Who are you?", the leader of the Black wind gang asked as a solemn look appeared on his face. Unlike Wang Lang, he was not a reckless person. So, he decided to inquiry a little before taking any action.

"There is no need to bother young master Chen. Your opponent is me", Zhen Wang spoke as he walked out from a distance. He threw a look at Zhan Chen who still had a nonchalant expression on his face even after killing a peak level True essence realm expert.

"Friend, may I inquire where have you come from?", the leader of the Black wind gang asked.

"I will tell you if you live past our battle", Zhen Wang spoke and took out his weapon. The leader of the Black wind gang didn't take out any weapons but Zhen Wang could see the pointed weapon he was wearing on his fingers.

Zhan Chen was standing near the corpse of Wang Lang but no other Black wind gang members dared to attack him.

"You fools, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to relax and kill you one by one?", the leader of the Black wind gang bellowed.

The hesitant look on the faces of Black wind gang members disappeared after they heard the words of their leader. Leading the life of a bandit was never easy. So, all of them had a ruthless personality within them. Moreover all of them knew, what would happen if anyone didn't obey the command of their leader. Death would be the easiest punishment at that time.

Two Black wind gang members attacked simultaneously as they swung their sword towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen easily blocked their swords as he looked towards the other Black wind gang members.

Another two Black wind members joined the fray and Zhan Chen got surrounded by four enemies.

He easily fended the attack of four Black wind gang members as he only had to merely lift his sword a little to fend the attacks of the four. 

A arrow whizzed towards Zhan Chen with a breathtaking speed. Zhan Chen shifted his body a little and the sword stabbed into the chest of one of the Black wind group member.

"Yan Wu! What the hell?", one of the Black wind gang member cursed as they saw one of their own being injured by an arrow.

Zhan Chen threw a look towards a distant tree and a look of appreciation appeared in his eyes. The arrow was too quick even for him and it was fired at a proper time when he would need to defend himself from the attack of an enemy.

The battle raged between the leader of the Black Wind gang and Zhen Wang. Zhan Chen knew the cultivation level of Zhen Wang and leader of the Black Wind group. So, he didn't bother about the condition of Zhen Wang.

It took another few minutes for the Black wind gang members to gather around him.

"I am waiting for you all to gather", Zhan Chen spoke plainly as his figure disappeared from his place. The person who was attacking him could only find thin air when he swung his sword towards Zhan Chen.

"Puchi"

"Puchi"

"Puchi", soft sounds came out as Zhan Chen's figure shuttled between the Black Wind gang members. The Black wind gang members couldn't even resist as seven of them died within the interval of few moments.

A horrified look appeared in the eyes of Black wind gang members as they looked towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen had a young and dashing appearance but infront of the surviving Black wind gang members, he appeared like a devil.

No one knew who took the first step backward but the remaining thirteen members tried to distant themshelves from Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen didn't give them much time as his figure started to flicker again. No one knew whom he would attack as everyone remained alert to face Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen appeared behind a Black wind gang member. The Black wind group member swung his long knife to stop Zhan Chen's sword but his attempt was futile.

"Puchi", a soft sound came out as Zhan Chen stabbed the Black wind gang member with his sword. He didn't stop as his figure appeared behind another surviving Black wind gang member.

It didn't take time for Zhan Chen to eliminate the surrounding enemies. He threw a look at the distant tree from where the archer of the Black Wind gang had fired an arrow.

Yan Wu shivered as he noticed the gaze of Zhan Chen towards him. Zhan Chen's eyes were clear but an unknown terror covered the soul of Yan Wu when Zhan Chen looked towards him.

Zhan Chen turned his gaze to look at at Zhen Wang who was still fighting the leader of the Black Wind gang. The leader of the Black Wind gang had a cultivation of fourth stage of Core Condensation realm which was two stages lower than Zhen Wang.

When Zhan Chen looked towards them, the leader of Black wind gang was fighting desperately to defend himself. His struggle finally ended as an attack of Zhen Wang opened up a deep wound on his chest. Zhen Wang didn't miss the chance as he followed up and stabbed his sword in the heart of the leader of the Black wind gang.
